Chapter 132: The Age of Steam Alchemy is Coming
The waters of Remilet Island have become a monster world, and the only safe route is to sail along the coast and the land bridge, try your luck at the break, and then sail along the edge of the land bridge again until you reach the port city of London, where the Novaya Zemlya headland is located. London is also the capital of the Kingdom of Novaya Zemlya, but the largest city is Andorf, a port city that can communicate with the mainland. The kingdom of Novaya Zemlya naturally knew the richness of the land on the other side, and at the same time, it also knew the demonic plants and creatures that were produced on that land, and there was not a day when it was not thinking about how to bring this island, which can be called a continent, into its own hands. But the dangerous shipping route has limited their ambitions, most of the inhabitants of this island were originally the coastal city residents of the Southern Yuktobania Kingdom that had lost the country and a part of the old Ballan Kingdom centaurs, but they had no good feelings about the Novaya Zemlya Kingdom that was once part of the Belken Empire, although many people from the original Belken Empire have migrated to Remirete Island over the years, but the two major civilization cities on this island have a very strong tendency to be independent, and they don't want to become subordinate cities of the Novaya Zemlya Kingdom at all- Even if the kingdom of Xindi is willing to grant autonomy.
With a population of over 50,000 and a 5,000-strong centaur population in Dama Village, the two towns are now connected, with travelers walking on the stone paths that connect them. In the Deep Harbor you can see almost all the intelligent races in the world - from elves and dwarves that are rare on the continent, to the centaurs who have almost perished on the continent, and of course you can see them in the pony village. And it is very far away from these two cities, and it is more than a month to walk. There is also a mysterious city hidden between dense forests and mountains. The Black Tower is its customary name. The largest dragonman colony on the island of Remilet dominates the caveman tribe in the mountains and the elf tribe in the woods. The entire town is surrounded by tall walls, and it is inhabited by more than 10,000 people, including some centaurs and humans. And in the center of the city is a huge black tower that merges with the mountain, which is where the name of the city comes from.
The black tower is considered a sacred place for the dragonmen, and no dragons dare to climb to the top of the tower, and of course they will never allow anyone to climb it. Generally speaking, the dragonmen are strong but have a very peaceful personality, but if they climb the tower, they will definitely turn their faces - and there are not only one or two adventurers who are particularly curious to be killed for this. "As long as the Black Tower is still there!, those mighty ancient dragons won't come to attack us!" these were the words that came out of someone's mouth after he had drunk a dragonman.
Zhou Zhongmou slept undisturbed, and so did Misha, who now had her hair all over the room. In his deep sleep, Zhou Zhongmou regained his human form. And his powers, those that resist magic, began to retreat as the magic in this world became less and less active. In his dream, Zhou Zhongmou saw a lot of strange things, all of which were "alive", and performed all kinds of ugly live dramas. Countless perverted behaviors and words are constantly staged in the dream, most of which are strange things that constantly distort the reality in the dream, but they also allow countless wonderful thoughts to be absorbed by Zhou Zhongmou. When he woke up, he also tried to recall those ugly perverts, but in the end he found that they were all distorted and strange knowledge, although he did not have real equipment at hand and could not verify it, but it was very strange that Zhou Zhongmou thought that these things were achievable
When Zhou Zhongmou woke up occasionally. He would walk up to the huge window and transform into a behemoth beast looking down on the city below—but every time he woke up it was night. And it didn't take long for them to fall into a deep sleep again, so that the dragonmen didn't know the true face of the one in the black tower - the dragons knew that there was something in the tower, but they didn't dare to look at it, so they only bowed and worshipped.
Time passed year by year, and the civilization of this world also changed due to the gradual approach of the evil gods - as far as the original world was concerned, it would have been a world in the classical style of the Middle Ages forever, but due to the infection of the evil gods and the evil gods, the world began to move forward. From medieval classicism to a style similar to that of the pre-steam age - only in some technologies far more advanced than the steam age on earth. Alchemy has developed enormously during this time, more than two hundred years after Zhou Zhongmou gave birth to Remiret, and on the mainland, the Duchy of Belken and the Kingdom of Yuktorbania have waged wars more than once in an attempt to regain the territory of the old empire, but each such attempt has failed.
Now three hundred years have passed since the birth of Remiret, and the kingdom of Novaya Zemlya has built an alchemy-powered network of steam railways that connect the island's cities - the kingdom of Novaya Zemlya has all discovered the size of the island a hundred years ago, and the island is almost equivalent to 300,000 square kilometers, and now it is firmly ruled by humans. The monsters that used to be everywhere on the island have almost disappeared, and the so-called monsters such as giants, dragons and ghosts, and vampires have long been legends, although some people know that there are really some old dragons left in some places on Novaya Zemlya, but most of the people have long forgotten about this qiē. It's a pity that the sea kings are still real, until now they still rule the deep sea, as long as they go out of the shallow sea within a few hundred meters of the sea depth, once they reach the deep sea, they are the world of all kinds of sea kings, until now the magic artillery of human beings is still unable to fight against these terrifying creatures.
The Kingdom of Novaya Zemlya is now a nation of three million people, but they are still a poor country compared to the countries on the mainland. Now these countries are basically millions of people, and there are even metropolises with a population of nearly one million on the continent, and the great development of alchemy has led to a huge increase in productivity. Able to feed a larger population. As for Remiret, there are still two cities known as the Free City, and the Deep Sea Harbor is the largest city on Remiret Island with a population of more than 100,000. The village can no longer be called a village, although it is still called a village, but it is actually a city with a population of 50,000 - of which there are 30,000 centaurs. Alchemy has also allowed centaurs to obtain more food, and the magic of Remilet Island has allowed centaurs to reproduce and live here normally, while the centaurs on the continent who are unwilling to migrate have long since disappeared.
Both cities had a parliamentary system, and they were threatened by the monsters on the islands and were unable to expand inland, as they had been for hundreds of years. The population of the Black Giant Tower has also reached 50,000, and the area they can control is the largest of the three cities on Remiret. Unfortunately, the three cities together still occupy less than one percent of the total area of Remiret, and humans have not been able to map this huge island until now, and the area that has been explored still occupies at most a tenth of the island's area. But in this area, many rare plants, minerals and creatures have been found, and the three cities of Remiret, even on the mainland, are cities with a high standard of living - the Black Tower provides raw materials and finished products, the Malaysian Village provides agricultural products, and the Deep Sea Port is responsible for sales and exchanges.
