It took Shen Yan a lot of words to convince the Ranger Knight Yarlin that demon hunters were really no different from ordinary people - they wore beautiful contact lenses to look weird and weird, so as to get more business and commissions - and for this reason, they were contemptuously called "mutants" by the fools.

What happened to mutants? There's Magneto among the mutants! What's a little discrimination in order to make money...... Don't talk about it, it's the biggest secret of the Demon Hunter!

For this reason, he also deliberately took off his contact lenses to prove it.

Seeing that Shen Yan's left eye could switch between vertical pupils and ordinary pupils, Yarlin finally believed it...... In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to believe that demon hunters were nothing great, and that Ranger Knight could also do things that challenged monsters! In that case, why do you have to hire a demon hunter? The pay is still high!

Knowing the truth, his tears fell, and he had a feeling that the knight's spring ...... It's finally coming.

Here is a brief description of the situation on the continent - however, it is actually quite complicated, from the division of political power into principalities, kingdoms, empires, and semi-independent regions; There are humans and non-humans (elves, dwarves, halflings); Politically, it was the complex inheritance relationship formed by frequent marriages, and the rudiments of parliament in the South; The mystical side of the sorceress guild, the sorcerers, the demon hunters, the primordial faith and the emerging church compete for resources;

There are also the three northern wars launched by the Nilfgaard Empire to unify the north, which led to the alliance, assassination, annexation, and betrayal of the northern states...... Wait a minute.

Speaking of the background, I'm afraid that even Shen Yan, who has played the entire series of wizards, is confused.

But if you show it to the Europeans, they will say, this is clear! What's the mess? How clearly it is written!

You see, the queen of the kingdom of Sintra is Caranthor, and her only daughter Pavita married Enrith Enrith and gave birth to Ciri, if Pavita inherited Sintra then Enrith also has the right to inherit, but Pavita was murdered by Enrith so the inheritance does not belong to the husband but to the daughter, which is why Enrith must marry Ciri, otherwise Sintra ...... What's the mess?

Against: I just want to ask where the mess is not there? It's such a ghost thing for a father to marry a daughter, why would you say it so normally!

Positive: We're talking about a national affair, the most serious issue of succession to the throne! Why do you always think about that little thing in bed? (disdainful face)

All right...... It's like we don't know if Europeans can read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Bei must feel crazy when he drops the child, but the powerless civil officials can look down on Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, is this understandable? Who is right and who is wrong between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan? Why is it so great? What the hell is Chan Rang, why didn't Cao Cao call himself emperor until he died......

Pull it away, take it back.

Further afield on the continent is not known (and not involved), let's just say that the northern part of the country is divided by the Yaluga River - to the south is the largest country in the known history of the wizarding world, the Nilfgaard Empire, and to the north is the northern kingdoms. The northern kingdoms include Temeria, Aden, Redania, and Kodwin...... A dozen kingdoms, city-states, and regions, large and small, will perish sooner or later, and the names are not worth remembering at all......

There may still be no intuitive impression when you say this, so to put it another way - to the south is the Roman Empire, which was in its heyday and had the Mediterranean Sea as its inland sea; And to the north are Gaul and Britten, the barbarian forces waiting to be beaten by the Romans;

Ensir Enrith was the Roman emperor, but at the same time he was constrained by the Senate, and Ciri was the co-heir of Rome and a great power in the north; The Skellig Islands in the open sea are the equivalent of England, which always thinks that it can decide something about the situation on the mainland, but in fact, it has nothing to do with it from beginning to end.

…… So it's clear to everyone.

In short, from the perspective of the overall situation, the three northern wars have shattered the north, and it is the general trend for the huge empire in the south to unify the north!

Even if the Third Northern War is lost, there will be a fourth and fifth in the future...... It only depended on how determined Nilfgaard was for unification, and had nothing to do with the resistance of the northern states. Perhaps one day Nilfgaard will change the emperor, and he will feel that it is a complete burden to occupy the broken place in the north without oil and water, and turn to attack in other directions, and then the north will be completely peaceful.

Touscent was a small vassal principality under the vast territory of the Nilfgaard Empire.

This tiny country huddles quietly under the wings of the Empire, quietly paying its taxes and supplying the Empire with excellent wines. That's the impression that people have of them. Since there was no formed army, they did not participate in the war, they were forgotten by the war, and they did not pose any threat to Nilfgaard.

So much so that Tousent, despite being within the Empire, enjoyed a high degree of autonomy, and the Empire almost never interfered in their internal affairs or violated their borders—in this sense, the treatment Toussaint received was coveted by the northern states. But if you want to make the northern countries lay down their arms and stop armed forces again, it is absolutely impossible!

The leader of the country, Duchess Anna Henrietta, was calculating but politically naïve, and she even thought that writing a letter to the emperor would put an end to the war in the north...... This childishness was beloved by the emperor.

If all the leaders of the country were like Anna Henrietta, he would have lived very easily.

*****

Shen Yan's "leaking" behavior obviously won the favor of the ranger knight Yarlin! The knight became enthusiastic, not only preparing to personally send Shen Yan to the town in front, but also enthusiastically introducing him to the customs of Taosent, talking non-stop along the way.

Even, he didn't mind Shen Yan making a lot of money in Taosente at all, and left with his money bag bulging.

It didn't matter, because in his mind, it was already the last time...... For the last time!

If you've never been to the Duchy of Touscent, you'll think you've stepped into a fairytale world.

From the Rivendell Valley to the south, there are clear skies, breezy pastoral greenery, smiling farmers, dancing steps, green grape branches, and the never-ending music of country after village...... It's like a god occasionally flipping the color palette, and the colors that fall are all here.

Shen Yan went ashore from Sintra and went up the Yaluga River, the scenery was similar all the way, he may not feel much yet, he could only tell that there were fewer and fewer thieves on the road, and there were more and more smiles on people's faces.

But if you cross Thorden from the north and go straight to Towcent, you will feel like you have entered heaven at once!

Compared to the war-torn areas in the north, Towcent is really like paradise.

Not to mention the centuries-old Tausant, let's just say that the Kingdom of Hinterland (Ciri's mother country), which was occupied by Nilfgaard in the First Northern War, had a quarter of the country's population plummeted by the "Sintra Massacre" seven years ago! The turmoil continued for another three years, and it was not until Enshir Enreth married Ciri (fake Ciri) that Hinterland gradually settled down.

But when Shen Yan passed by Hinterland, he found that the smoke of war had long been erased here.

With the Empire's vast infusion of war materials behind the Northern Front, the Empire's vast infusion of war materials has brought unprecedented vitality to the country, and the lives of the Hinterlands are much better than the inhabitants of Skellig, the "free pirates" that Shen Yan has seen. It may also be much better than the civilians of the northern countries that are still independent and free.

A small country with an ambitious monarch would be the beginning of the suffering of the lower classes of civilians.

And such a monarch, the northern countries still have a whole dozen......

"Our red soil in Towcente produces the best grapes and the best wines. Towcente's wine is the Holnylgaard ...... No, it's the best wine in the whole world! If you have the chance, you must taste it, and if you are lucky enough to be able to taste the 'Brescher's Shore', ah, I dare say, then there will be no regrets in this life! Pointing to the endless vineyards, Yarlin said with infinite pride.

It has to be said that this small country has many things to be proud of, and wine is one of them; And a ranger knight like Yarlin, who abides by the ancient "Five Virtues of Knighthood" and walks the countryside and serves semi-obligatorily, is also worthy of admiration.

But when it comes to wine...... Shen Yan scoffed at this - Cut, that's because you didn't have a chance to drink the "Wisteria" brand dry white wine brewed by our Kunpeng World!

42 degrees! Add aphrodisiac to taste! One sip of stuffy, three cups poured! Thief cool!
