Chapter Seventy-Five: The Road to Shipping
Bypassing the statue of the creator god, you will enter the long corridor of the council hall, and at the top of the corridor, there is a scroll-like gallery painting, depicting the tragic scene of the war between gods and demons three hundred years ago:
The inky sky was still drizzling, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere. Blood mixed with an unknown liquid flowed unscrupulously across the land. All kinds of deadly weapons stand on the "land" where corpses are piled up, like tombstones, and they have long buried the lives of those who were still fighting bloodily not long ago. Yes, in the end, there was only a lonely back, staggering to stand, his eyes full of desolation, and he (her) could not see his or her face clearly. This scene of corpses strewn all over the field seems to remind the earthly people all the time.
On both sides of the promenade are sculptures of soldiers in various forms. There were those who straddled their horses and charged with spears; There are those who trample on the enemy, and raise their swords and slash; There are also those holding big flags and blowing the horns of beasts. Jin Ge Iron Horse, Sword Shine Frost, Fierce Flag, Drums and Horns, as if under the reflection of blood and fire...... Brilliant as clouds, brilliant as fireworks.
At the end of the corridor is a transparent mirror, but if you walk up and take a closer look, you will find it. This is not a transparent mirror, but a huge transparent cabinet. In the cabinet stood three old men, with kind and peaceful faces, dressed in white robes, clean and luxurious.
"What the three of you see now is the Kingdom of Stewart, the first three generations of kings, Jonathan, Thompson and Johansen, although they have exhausted their lifespan, they still retain the flow of mana in their bodies, they are immortal in their bodies, and at the same time, they also guard this kingdom."
Beside him, a long-haired maid who led the way introduced,
"Is Johansen the great king who opened the way for Athenia?"
Ilt asked excitedly.
"Yes, the royal capital, as well as the other cities on the continent of Aurelast, after the war of gods and demons, existed in the form of a divided autonomy. Each kingdom had its own king, and there was no trade with each other in the open land. Conquest each other, annexation of land. Grandpa felt that this was not conducive to the development of earthly mankind, so he proposed the idea of a seafaring route, which was not very much approved by the kings of other kingdoms at first, because some of them were adjacent to each other and often secretly traded privately. Only some kingdoms with which we have better relations agree to do so. Eventually, however, we and the kingdoms that agreed to trade benefited from my grandfather's proposal. It has greatly driven the economic and military development of their respective countries and gained larger territories. In some neighboring kingdoms, horse-drawn carriages were used to transport goods in the past, which was time-consuming and laborious. After the ore was mined in large quantities, they resorted to the use of magical blessings to transport it. However, this still does not make it possible to transport large quantities of goods, and requires the hiring of more advanced mages. It's very expensive. With the sea freight method, not only the speed of delivery is improved, but also the cost of transportation is also very practical. Eventually, the kings of various countries issued formal decrees and integrated resources, which led to the flourishing of navigation routes, and the abundance and abundance of resources, and the "Maritime Trade Law" was formally established on the continent of Alelaste. ”
Without waiting for the maid to explain, Tia's face was always full of admiration whenever she talked about her grandfather.
"Grandpa is indeed a great king, and if the seafaring path had not been opened, I might not have been able to set foot in Odaheim's territory at this time, let alone meet you."
Alan couldn't help but sigh a little, but his hot eyes still finally turned to Tia. Tia bowed her head shyly, her little hands stirring the hem of her skirt.
Ilte has also become accustomed to the sweet affection of this little couple all the way, and the immune mechanism has been turned on early, so he should turn a blind eye and listen to it at this time. Just going around and around, observing the three previous kings, studying the secrets that keep the physical magic system running. Moo, on the other hand, dodged stupidly, and the guards on either side might have been so lifelike that the statue scared him.
