In this era, sailing itself is a risky affair, and the crew needs to fight against storms, tsunamis, waves, reefs and other harsh weather and environment, as well as beware of unnatural disasters such as trekking, sepsis, krakens, fish-man attacks, etc. Fastest updates

In the story of the famous folk song "Popeye" on the mainland, Simba, a sailor, went to sea ten times on an adventure, and successively experienced the ship's trek, was captured by aliens, was buried as a slave, was stranded on a desert island, was attacked by fishmen, was coerced by monsters, was bewitched by a kraken, was captured by cannibals and other dangers, which can be called thrilling and life-threatening.

Although the ballad is habitually exaggerated in literature, it also reflects the dangers and difficulties of seafaring expeditions. This is still a danger in an inland sea like the Harp Sea, where all kinds of powerful aliens and monsters have been wiped out by the Magic Empire and ancient heroes!

Not to mention, in the open seas far from the mainland, when you cross the boundary between the shallow continental shelf and the deep ocean of the open sea, you will have to face the almost never-ending raging hurricane belt, the huge and terrifying deep-sea beasts, the elemental storm belt that is difficult to perform even magic, and the strange fog where time and space are chaotic.

This is a huge and dangerous ocean expedition, which can easily lose all the money, and ordinary families simply cannot afford this kind of loss, and only the imperial royal family of Divine Hyrule is qualified to fund such an adventure.

"His Majesty Frederick's courage is truly admirable!"

Carl couldn't help but admire that, as a traverser, he naturally knew the significance of ocean exploration and the Age of Discovery. In another time and space, the adventures of navigators such as Columbus and Magellan, supported by the Spanish crown, brought them a vast New World, countless precious riches of gold and spices, and nearly a century of maritime supremacy.

Although there is magic in this world, but because of the subspace elemental storm brought about by the destruction of the magic empire and the influence of the storm sea, the ocean exploration has been in a state of stagnation, and rumors about the New World, the Fountain of Youth, the Golden Country, and even the mysterious mermaid country appear from time to time, but no one has really confirmed it.

"It's not all Frederick's spirit!"

Lady Loriss smiled: "The existence of the New World has always recorded various histories and legends, and even in the era of the Three Sages, the Sage of Brach also wrote a "Deep Blue Travels", which specifically recorded his experience of traveling to the Deep Blue Continent, and a "Wandering Mage's Travels" that is said to be written by a certain magic emperor, and it also records the story of a wandering mage traveling all over the world, not only the Black Continent in the South, the Deep Blue Continent in the deep sea of the Western Ocean, the mysterious Eastern Continent, and the more distant Wild Continent, the Loess Continent!" ”

"The open seas of the original continent are shrouded in violent storm belts, making it impossible to carry out ocean-going expeditions. But in recent years, as the elemental storms in the subspace layer have gradually subsided, the violent hurricanes in the pelagic storm belt have also begun to weaken, making pelagic exploration possible!"

"It's not just the pirate king Loselik who is on an ocean expedition now, and of course His Majesty Frederick is not the only one who supports the voyagers with great courage to go to sea!"

"The Baioting Empire in the East, and even the Golden Yan Family, have sent teams to try to find a route to the Eastern Continent. Although no one has succeeded yet, it is said that there is still a fleet that has narrowly crossed the storm belt and broken into a strange continent, encountering an orc group that fled overseas when the orcs retreated!"

Carl couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the Age of Discovery in this world had begun, but if you think about it carefully, this world is originally composed of supernatural forces such as magic, magic, and fighting spirit, and the development of its own civilization is not lagging behind.

"It seems that we have caught up with a good era!"

Carl couldn't help but sigh, the Age of Discovery, the great geographical discoveries, countless new things, new worlds are about to be discovered, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Robinson Crusoe, Captain Grant, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, countless wonderful stories are about to be staged, just thinking about it, it makes people excited to immediately leave everything and devote themselves to it.

"We were indeed born in a good era!"

Lady Loris misunderstood Karl's exclamation, and said with an approving smile: "No one could have imagined that after centuries of peace and prosperity, there would be so many heroes in our time. ”

"The Pirate King Roselik is a legend, but so is the young sailor he spoke to!"

"Who's that?"

Hearing Lady Loris say this, Carl couldn't help but be curious, the pirate king Roselik, as the key person who opened the world's great age of discovery, is legendary enough, who can compete with him?

"That's Astana the Great of the Asrofik Empire!"

Lady Loris only said one name, and Karl understood it instantly.

Astana the Great, a man who held a butcher's knife high, stained with the blood of his loved ones, stepped on the throne with a lot of white bones, and had titles such as "Killer of Relatives", "Blood-stained Tyrant", "Skeleton King without Blood and Tears", etc., is also one of the most legendary emperors on the continent for thousands of years.

Karl was very familiar with the name, as he was the kingdom of Rain, the greatest antagonist of King Gusta.

The Asrofik Empire, originally a small and inconspicuous principality living on the edge of the continent, was once subject to the Northland Alliance dominated by the Kingdom of Ryandiana, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the gateway to civilization and defending against the invasion of barbarians on the wild ice fields.

The harsh environment has created the bear-like tenacity, bravery, and fearlessness of the Asrofiks, who are born warriors, and from the moment they are born, they have fought against winters, storms, hunger, barbarians, civilized, and everything that hinders their survival.

In order to survive, they can endure extreme oppression and labor like cattle, and they can endure the harshest whips and the rule of tyrants, but only if the tyrant can bring hope of survival and constant victory.

In the same way, because of the extremely harsh living environment, the Asrofiks do not care who the tyrant who rules them, whether it is a ruthless magician or a brutal bloodthirsty knight, they do not reject all powers, good and evil, light and darkness, as long as it is useful for survival.

So, here comes the shamans, here are the mages of the Magic Empire, here are the sacrifices of the old gods banished by the Church of Radiance, here are the Dark Knights who have been banished from the civilized world, and finally even the evangelist of the Church of Radiance. It has become the most open and free of the world, and the Asrofiks embrace all forces with extreme pragmatism and embrace them all in a spirit that is large enough.

With the help of these forces that have been rejected by the mainstream civilized world, the Asrofiks have conquered one barbarian tribe after another, and their power has continued to grow, like a greedy giant bear, deep into the depths of the savage ice field, swallowing up all the lands they can touch.

Gradually, the Asrofik Empire grew from a frontier principality to a behemoth, and gradually threatened the hegemony of the Northland of the Kingdom of Ryanda.
