Chapter 184
Aside from territorial expansion, nothing much has happened in the Northwest Republic over the years.
It is not surprising that the Northwest Republic is located on the border, has a strong national strength, and its own system is quite stable. Such a strong country, let alone ten years, even if it is twenty or thirty years, nothing major may happen.
In this world, there are often wars between countries, but no matter what kind of army, don't think of crossing a long distance to attack the Northwest Republic.
As for the neighbouring countries, to the east of the North-Western Republic are steep barren mountains, which are almost impossible to climb and can only be crossed by a few canyons. Even if you pass through the canyon, there is either the vast Gobi or the snow-capped fields on the opposite side, which is not a suitable place for marching.
Moreover, further east of the Gobi and Snow Plains is the "Western Wilderness" of the Orc Empire. It was the province with the weakest ruling power of the Orc Empire, and if others didn't go to them for trouble, the Governor of the Western Wilderness would be thankful, how could he still turn around and find trouble with the Northwest Republic?
As for the north and west of the Northwest Republic, they are all vast seas, and there are civilizations in the sea, such as mermaids in the far seas and fishmen in the near seas, but the behind-the-scenes boss of the Northwest Republic, His Majesty the Void Mask, is the guide of the goddess of the sea, which is roughly equivalent to the identity of the master or adoptive father, and the marine race will never dare to trouble the Northwest Republic unless there is water in its head.
Of course, it's not easy to find because they don't have a seaside city at all. Even if you start from the Void City, which is closest to the ocean, and walk in a straight line towards the nearest coast, it is about 1,300 miles away. Such a long distance is really an insurmountable moat for the Sea Clan.
The only thing that is more "intimately bordered" by the Northwest Republic is the Gold Coin Federation in the south, but the Gold Coin Federation itself is not a strong country, and the merchant faction bordering the Northwest Republic is relatively weak in the Gold Coin Federation, plus the relationship between disaster relief that year...... At present, there are many cities in the northern part of the Gold Coin Federation discussing whether to join the Northwest Republic, and even in the entire merchant faction's large council, there are people who have proposed this more than once. If you want to say that the country will go to trouble the Northwest Republic, those who think so should definitely make up for the basic political lesson firstβto strengthen the memory of political common sense by being beaten on the palm of the hand with a wooden plank by the teacher.
Since none of the surrounding countries will be any disadvantage to the Northwest Republic, and the Northwest Republic itself is very safe, then of course nothing particularly worth mentioning will happen.
As for the decade-long world's first martial arts competition and the founding celebration or something, they are all routine official duties, and there is nothing particularly worth saying.
Sui Xiong nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "Who is the champion of the world's first martial arts competition this time?"
Wo Yi immediately said the name of an old powerhouse, Sui Xiong was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "I remember that when the first world No. 1 martial arts tournament was held, he had already participated, right?"
"Yes, but he was young and his grades were average. Walter replied, "Later, he participated in every session of the world's No. 1 martial arts competition, and his results continued to rise, and finally won the world's first place in this year." β
β...... This guy is really inspiring. β
"Yes, he has now been canonized in his hometown and has become a baron. I think as long as he can put his perseverance and enthusiasm in martial arts training on the construction of his territory, maybe his territory will also develop into a world-class one. β
Speaking of this, Wohl suddenly remembered something and said with interest: "By the way, there is a dark horse in this year's martial arts competition!"
"Dark horse?"
"Ferra Kenthy. Woer was afraid that Sui Xiong didn't know about this person, and explained, "He is a native of our Northwest Republic, a first-generation immigrant, a half-orc of the pig clan. He used to work as a chef, but when he joined a joint exploration team to help the Gold Federation explore a silver mine, he accidentally picked up a relic of an ancient adventurer, a magic ring, while helping to transport things. β
"Ring?" Sui Xiong was a little curious, and subconsciously remembered something he had seen before crossing over, "Inside that ring, could it be that the soul of an ancient legendary mage is hidden?"
"Your Majesty, you know. β
β...... No, I don't know. The corners of Sui Xiong's mouth twitched, and he replied calmly, "Go on." β
Walter looked at Sui Xiong's changing face with some curiosity, and continued: "Inside that ring is an ancient legendary mage who has been dead for many years, trying to steal his body by teaching him magic and resurrect himself. β
"Failed?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Well, failed. "Fela's friend Hopes Wilder spied on the ancient mage's scheme, and instead used the power of modern magic to allow Fira to devour the ancient mage's soul." As a result, Ferra was reborn and soon grew into an excellent mage. He has been focusing on merging magic with the concept of 'eating', and with the help of 'Gourmet' Milomon and 'Health Master' Mado Sora, he eventually created a special magic system he named 'Blue Magic' - this magic system is very magical by eating certain monsters to learn the magical abilities of the monsters themselves, which is very magical. β
"In other words, he relied on his wonderful magic and won by surprise to achieve excellent results in the world's No. 1 martial arts competition?"
"That's right, with his real strength, to be honest, it's really not easy to break into the top four of the world's first martial arts competition. Wall nodded, "But it doesn't really matter to him if he makes it to the Final Four or not. The reason why he went to participate in the world's first martial arts competition was actually to seek revenge. β
"Seeking revenge?"
"Yes, he has a grudge against Rubi Sriwu, an instructor in the exploration team of the Ministry of Mines, and he has suffered a lot back then, and he has always remembered it. This year's world's first martial arts competition, Ruby Siriu also participated, and said that he would definitely achieve good results. When Fira learned about it, she hurried to sign up, almost a minute before the registration deadline. β
Walter paused and added, "Fira wasn't very lucky, and in order to play against Ruby, he had to fight all the way to the quarterfinals. He fought hard in every subsequent game, but the last time he met Ruby was quite easy. After beating Ruby and reaching the semi-finals, he actually abstained......"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh: "This is also an interesting person!"
