The deal was concluded, and Davy, in the spirit of squeezing the alchemist named Newton as efficiently as possible, immediately began to ask for all kinds of information.

Especially the intelligence of various forces on the mainland.

Newton didn't expect David to start asking questions at the same time as he reached an agreement with him, and the posture was to let his consultant start working immediately.

"Didn't you even sign a contract?"

"I guess you don't care about a piece of paper just like I do."

"That's right." Newton nodded, agreeing with David's words: "Okay, if you have any questions, just bring them up...... If you could, I wish you had brought all the questions up tonight. ”

If you can, spend a night answering various questions, and then you can freely study new materials, presumably this young man named David will not be overly attached to the time limit of at least one month.

"First question, I want to know the situation on this continent."

"The situation on this continent? What are you referring to? ”

"How big is this continent and what are the countries? And what do you know about the situation called the temple? ”

Newton looked at Davy and suddenly became curious about David's identity, but he didn't rush to ask, but answered David's question first.

According to the old alchemist's description, this continent called Brunnia is very vast, at least he has not traveled to every corner of this continent, he has only traveled around the human realm.

There are many countries established by mankind, and there are four of the most powerful countries, namely the Kingdom of Tiran, which occupies a large part of the land in the north of the continent; the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt, located in the western part of the continent; Located in the eastern part of the continent, the Sodurunma Empire, which has the largest territory of all human kingdoms; The last is the New Coalition of Aeran, which is surrounded by the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt and the Sodurunma Empire, and a small part of its territory borders the Kingdom of Tiran.

In addition to the four human kingdoms, there are many small kingdoms, principalities, scattered across the borders of the major human kingdoms or further south.

While David watched Newton's explanation, he drew a sketch on the ground, and had a clearer understanding of the entire continent, especially the divisions of the human kingdom.

The Kingdom of Tiran was located in the far north, and a large area in the southeastern part of the kingdom bordered the Sodurunma Empire.

The territory of the Sodurunma Empire is much larger than that of the rapidly expanding kingdom of Tiran in the last hundred years, and their territory is only slightly smaller than the land of the other three human kingdoms combined.

The Holy Gaunt Kingdom is located on the west-central side of the continent, southwest of the Kingdom of Tiran; The last of the new Iran Commonwealth is located to the east of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom, bordered by a small part of the Kingdom of Tiran to the north and the Sodurunma Empire to the east.

"These four are the most powerful human kingdoms on the continent of Brennya."

The remaining small kingdoms and small principalities, Newton did not introduce in too much detail, but only roughly pointed out a few locations to indicate the general area where these small countries are located.

In addition to the border between several countries, there are more to the south of the New Alan Federation.

"What about the rest of the world?" David looked at Newton's map, and it was clear that there was a lot of land beyond the kingdom of man: "For example, the ...... further south"

"The plains further south are the territory of werewolves, minotaurs, centaurs and other races, and the west side of the holy Gaunt kingdom is entrenched in a large number of dark elves, and the east side is ...... To the east of the Sodurunma Empire is the sea, and the country has a long coastline, and it is said that the coastal areas are often harassed by a strong and savage race, but I have not seen it, and the details are not very clear. ”

Looking at the sketchy map, David finally had a basic understanding of the continent.

"What kind of existence is a temple?"

Newton looked at David in front of him, then at Sharon next to him, and instead of answering immediately, he asked a question: "Before answering this question, I want to ask the identities of the next two." ”

"I am the village chief of Winter Village in the Kingdom of Tiran, Winter Village is a new village that has just been established for a year, and you can understand that I am a hillbilly in a remote part of the Kingdom of Tilan, so I am very curious about the outside world."

"You don't look like a regular hillbilly." Newton nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to answer David's questions after complaining.

According to Newton, the temple was a religious group, and the temple was both the name of the group and the headquarters of the group.

The temple is located next to the royal capital of the Holy Gunt Kingdom, and has a very huge influence in the human kingdom, such as the Holy Gunt Kingdom, even the king's candidate needs the approval of the temple, while other countries have not reached this level, but the vast majority of people recognize the transcendent status of the temple.

"At the moment, only the people of the Kingdom of Tiran do not believe much in the gods of the temple."

David learned that the so-called Lumière was the god of light, one of the most important gods in the temple, and that there were many followers.

The priests of Lumière played an important role in the temple, and most of the priests who regularly preached were priests of the God of Light.

At the same time, the god of magic is also one of the gods enshrined in the temple, this god of magic without a real name is also the belief of all mages on the continent of Brennya.

"The Faith ...... of the Mage"

Hearing this, David understood why Sharon had been able to sense before, but could not mobilize the arcane energy of this world.

It seems that the magic and arcane energy of this world have been banned by this god of magic, so that the mages of this world can only use magic within the rules he has set.

However, compared to ordinary believers, the mage group is still more special, there are a lot of mages on the continent of Brennia, and most of them have little contact with the temple, and the temple doesn't seem to care much about this, let the mages do whatever they want.

After listening to all kinds of news for half a night, David was not sleepy at all.

He looked at Newton, and the old man had no tired, languishing look on his face, and it looked like he could talk for a few more days and nights.

"Anything else you'd like to ask?" The old alchemist Baba looked at the hammer in David's hand, he felt that he had said so much, and said it in such detail, it should be enough for David, a 'hillbilly', to digest it for a while. He could have taken advantage of this time to study the hammer.

"I'll ask you one more question!" David picked up the Hammer of Judgment and handed it to Newton, "What is an alchemist?" ”

"Ah, this question ......" Newton happily took the hammer, thinking that he could study it well, but he didn't expect David to ask such a question, immediately put the hammer in front of him, and put on a very serious expression: "Alchemists are individuals who study and use alchemy." ”

Newton knew that this kind of nonsense answer would not satisfy David, and without waiting for David to continue to ask, he explained to the other party what alchemy was.

To put it simply, alchemy, as its name suggests, can turn objects into gold. Its true essence is to change the form and nature of matter through mysterious magic.

"It can be turned into gold, and it can be turned into something else."

This is also the reason why the old alchemist travels around to see more minerals that he has never seen before, or that are rare and difficult to see, and for the alchemist, this kind of travel in search of all kinds of rare objects is a kind of cultivation in itself.

"I see!"

No wonder the old alchemist was so obsessed with studying his hammer of judgment when he saw it, due to the nature of his profession, according to the words of Pierre Newton: no alchemist can resist the temptation of a new, unseen object.

"Of course, the tools in the national alchemy workshops established by various countries are a different matter."

"So what?"

As Newton spoke with disdain, David learned that all human kingdoms had more or less alchemists, and the main job of these alchemists was alchemy.

Alchemy in the literal sense of the word, the main job of these alchemists is to make money for the kingdom they serve.

“……”

David didn't know until today that the currency of the human kingdom in this world was minted in this way - does that mean that the currency of the human kingdom essentially relies on the credibility of the kingdom itself? After all, gold can be made through alchemy, and it is no longer a rare precious metal, and it has lost its value as its standard.

David didn't think deeply about this question, he didn't need to worry about this kind of thing now, even if the currency market collapsed, it should be the kings of those big countries who had a headache.

"Is there any contradiction between the alchemist and the believers of the god of magic?"

A lot of information was asked, but David didn't ignore Newton's previous behavior when he suspected that Sharon was a believer in the god of magic.

From the pile of information Newton had told before, he didn't see any conflict between the alchemists and the mages before.

Even according to Newton's description, mages and alchemists are highly valued in various human realms, and their status is not low in any country.

"Because alchemists need to consume energy when they use alchemy to change the shape or nature of objects." Newton did not deliberately conceal it, but said the biggest contradiction between the two very bluntly: "Many alchemists prefer arcane energy that is malleable, versatile, stable, and easy to mobilize. ”

"......" David had vaguely guessed the answer, and Newton's subsequent words confirmed that he was right.

"However, the vast majority, or 90 percent, of alchemists do not believe in the god of magic, and the way they obtain arcane energy is somewhat ...... in the eyes of believers in the god of magic What, you know. ”

"Disrespectful?"

"yes, that's pretty much what it means!" Newton chuckled a few times, as if to hide the little embarrassment in his words: "However, most mages don't dwell too much on these things, except for the believers in the god of magic in the temple. ”
