Since settling in Prailly, the lives of the traversers have begun to calm down. After moving away from the fighting and killing, everyone felt the comfort they had not felt for a long time.

Thanks to the many combat missions carried out with the Rog Knights, everyone has accumulated a fairly large fortune. Although in the eyes of some upper-class nobles, the more than 10,000 gold coins accumulated by everyone are just half a year's income from a county, but for everyone, this money is enough for them to spend a few years.

After settling down, everyone began to go about their own personal affairs. As the leader of the team, Li Xiang visited all the big families in Prareli's territory and tried to establish a certain friendship with each other; Chen Zhanying and Shi Jinxin, these battle maniacs, couldn't bear the boredom and practiced martial arts in the martial arts arena at the back of the villa; The girls either go out with their newfound female companions in Praile's collar or get together for a tea party and some private conversation between women......

Like everyone else, in the days when there was no fighting, Yang Qianyu was also trying to pass the time. And on weekdays, in addition to learning martial arts with Chen Zhanying and them from time to time to maintain his skills, he is to read all kinds of books to understand the world of Iber.

"However, this kind of reading is too painful......" Yang Qianyu complained in a low voice as he opened a scroll.

The universal language of the human world in the Iber world is the same as that of the Chinese language on the earth, except that there are no idioms or rhetorical allusions. However, because it is written in the upper and lower case of 26 English letters, it is spelled in the way of Hanyu Pinyin, so I am used to reading Chinese characters and sentences or English grammar (praising the test-oriented education of learning English for all...... Although it is useless at all in this world), the traversers are very uncomfortable. You must know that since graduating from primary school, everyone has basically not used "Xinhua Dictionary" to read books and write. Occasionally, it is still possible to check the rare words, and it is fatal to read the Chinese pinyin throughout. Fortunately, after the crossing, everyone's spiritual power has been tempered and strengthened a lot, especially those with high innate spiritual attributes, basically only need to rest for a short time every day to recover their spirits. Naturally, there is the energy to 'translate' these headache-inducing pinyin characters into Chinese characters.

The scroll books that Yang Qianyu reads are original books written in the Iber universal language (that is, the Chinese pinyin of Huaxia), and Yang Qianyu also acts as a 'translator' every time he reads a new book, organizing the contents of the books into Chinese characters that are easy for everyone to read. This will not only train one's own reading ability and improve one's reading adaptability to the common language of Iber, but also facilitate the reading of other peers.

Most of the books Yang Qianyu reads introduce the geography, history, and customs of the Iber world. Although it has been almost a year since the time travel, everyone still doesn't know much about the world of Iber. In order to be able to better integrate into the human society of the world of Iber, reading books about this world and understanding the world is the best way at present.

Now Yang Qianyu is flipping through a parchment scroll called "The History of the Iber Continent". In the world of Yber, there was no such thing as papermaking, and the paper used to write was either tanned animal belly leather or finely sewn cloth. The pen used for writing is charcoal or quill, and the ink used in the quill pen is made of animal blood and dye, which is clear and not easy to fade.

This "Chronicles of the Continent of Iber" tells the story of the various landscapes of the continent where everyone lives - this continent is called the continent of 'Iber', and according to ancient legends, 'Iber' is the language of the ancient human 'Titans' in the primeval era, which means 'favored by the gods'. This continent is called the continent of 'Iber', and according to ancient legends, 'Iber' is the ancient human language of the primeval era, and the specific meaning is no longer verifiable. The continent is almost square in shape, and there are many large and small islands scattered around it. The continent is surrounded by vast oceans. No one knows what lies at the end of the surrounding sea, although it is rumored that there is a new continent at the end of the sea that has not yet been discovered by humans, but unfortunately this is only a rumor and no one has ever found it. After all, human civilization in this plane is not enough to build ships capable of going deep into the depths of the ocean.

In the New Era, after thousands of years of human reproduction, there are four human city-state kingdoms established on the continent. The four kingdoms are located in the east, west, north, and south directions of the continent, and their territories do not border each other, and the vacuum between the countries is full of ferocious ancient monsters and savage and uncivilized humanoid races. The only way for the four great powers to safely communicate and trade with each other was through a means of transportation known as 'airships' found in the ruins of the Titans civilization of the primeval era.

"Hmm...... Judging from the description and illustrations in the text, the so-called 'airboat' is similar to the 'hot air balloon' invented by mankind in modern times, but the volume is much larger, and the energy source driven is not the heat energy of coal and oil burning, but the 'spiritual energy' provided by the mined crystal ore......" Yang Qianyu muttered to himself as he looked at the text on the sheepskin scroll and the accompanying illustrations. “…… In this way, the flight principle of this 'airship' can't be analyzed with the technology of scientific and technological civilization, is it a magical civilization? That's not the traverser's forte......"

After skipping the difficult passages, Yang Qianyu continued reading. In the second half of the book, while introducing the habitat of human exploration, it also introduces some content about demons.

Judging from the content of the book, it seems that the 'demon race' of the Iber world is not the native race on the continent, or even the plane where the Iber world is located. They suddenly appeared in the heart of the continent more than a hundred years ago, where they slaughtered the native races of the Iber world. Whether it's harmless wild animals or all kinds of races with a civilized heritage, the demons have no mercy on them.

While slaughtering native creatures, the demons also build an altar-like structure to unleash an eerie energy that pollutes the area they occupy. For more than a hundred years, the environment in the center of the continent occupied by them has long been transformed beyond recognition by the demons, and it is no suitable for human survival. Now in the dark area in the center of the continent that has been called a 'forbidden land' by humans, there is no other creature to be seen except for the entrenched demons.

According to records, whenever the 'Year of Shadows' in the world of Iber comes, the sun shining on the world of Iber will be obscured by black shadows for most of it (its celestial phenomenon is similar to the solar eclipse on Earth, but it lasts for a long time, at least three or four months), and the darkest time period on this continent is also the time period when the demons expand and occupy the territory externally. Therefore, whenever the 'Year of Shadows' comes, the four kingdoms on the continent will raise the strength of the whole country to set up many passes on the road to the expansion of the demons, desperately resisting the invasion of the demons.
