The magician has seven canonized cities in the Lost Land, namely the five floating islands, the Principality of Crow in the east, and finally, as mentioned by Nguyen Thi Hui, located in the central area of the Lost Land, the Egyptian Kingdom in the Gwana Empire. Stali.
The Floating Island is a city of magicians established long before Biffin's time. The relevant information circulating today is quite sparse. It is basically certain that except for people born on the island, magicians on the ground have no chance to become one of them.
The Principality of Crow is a country of pure magicians. There are no ordinary people in it, and there are also very few Homo sapiens magicians other than humans. Even for the heaviest and most dirty work, they only use golems or elemental creatures. Beings without magical talent are not even qualified to be slaves.
From someone's perspective, it is a country founded by extreme racists. Moreover, a dictatorship system that emphasizes authoritarianism is still used to manage the entire country. To put it simply, it is a complete version of ***.
Although it has not yet reached the level of seclusion, the country of pure magicians has an extremely unfriendly attitude towards outsiders. Even outsiders who are magicians can only start from the bottom if they want to become a member of the principality.
Lin couldn't guess what other magicians were thinking. But someone would never go to that kind of place, let alone join.
The holy city of Estali, located in the center of the Lost Continent, in the First District, is not only a traditional important town with a considerable history, but also the origin of the Magician Association and the location of the association's headquarters. Moreover, this city is quite rare, a city jointly governed by magicians and secular government, that is, the Gwana Empire.
The Gwana Empire includes six divisions of magician associations, and its attitude towards magicians is as arrogant as other empires, except that it treats Estali differently. Although it is said to be co-governing, in fact, Estali, which belongs directly to the emperor, has most of its government affairs decided by the magicians themselves, and taxes are not turned over to the central government, which is almost like autonomy. The emperor only formally sent a liaison officer here, not an acting commander such as a city lord.
One of the reasons for being so tolerant is that the magicians of Estali have contributed a lot to the establishment of the empire and through several crises. The Gwana Empire is also one of the few countries that has established a magician army. It can be seen that the relationship between the two parties is not exactly like the Vader Military State, which completely suppresses the power of magicians, but a certain degree of cooperation.
The most important building in the Holy City of Estali is not the six five-story magic towers built in the city, but the large library surrounded by six towers in a hexagram formation. It contains not only magical knowledge, but also countless ancient documents handed down from the past, current historical records of each period, and truths that should be hidden.
That last point is the adjective most people use when introducing the Great Library. In fact, no one knows what those 'realities' are. Some people say they are not qualified enough, so they have no way of knowing. And these are Lin's understanding of the holy city of Estali.
However, judging from the news about Nguyen Thi Hui, it can be said that the most high-end human agency market has been formed there.
That being said, it is very worthwhile to go there. For someone who has no destination now, this is a direction that can be tried.
Let’s not talk about how he prepared to build the tower while he was homeless. Although the design blueprint planned by someone has not yet been finalized, it is not an ordinary magic tower. Even if you have really drawn the design drawings, prepared the building materials, and everything is ready, you will need at least a professional construction engineering team to be able to meet your requirements.
Although it is possible to consider building the magic tower in the deep mountains and old forests, magicians are also the best craftsmen in the land. But if you just rely on yourself, two apprentices and four dwarves to build a tower, it may take ten years or even hundreds of years. It might not even be possible to complete it in the time of apprentice, so you have to go to disciple.
Since we need help from people, and there is a high probability that the Magician Association can't count on it, we try to take the noble route to give ourselves one more chance. I hope to be stationed in another magic tower in my lifetime so that I can concentrate on research and find a way to return to Earth. No matter what happens, put a protective shield over yourself to prevent cats and dogs from stepping on you.
So Lin Zai carefully consulted the Baroness on this issue. Including the butler-like figures around her, they all answered some more detailed questions on behalf of their master.
When they couldn't get any new answers, both parties were polite and ended the conversation. In blessing each other, each embarked on their journey. Lin, on the other hand, calculated that what he got today could be said to be quite important new information.
A night of silence.
Regardless of someone’s little thoughts. For the world outside this cruise ship, when the legendary weapon appears, will it attract the covetousness of the nobles of Vader's military kingdom?
Answer: Not really!
Because the Vader Military Nation owns a Hakiri. It is placed in the palace hall, on the right side of the emperor's seat, on a shelf in front of the stairs. Regardless of whether they are commoners or nobles, as long as they are simple-minded and upright, they will have the opportunity to be recognized by Hakiri and become its holder. At the same time, the honors that come with it include the title and territory of the military country, and the position of leader of the military country's Guards Corps.
However, in fact, no noble dared to touch the legendary sword. Even if the emperor gave it to him for free, no one would want it.
Holding Hakogiri, not only will there be an extra voice, it will continue to ring in your mind whether you are awake or asleep; some ulterior secrets cannot be hidden, as long as you think of it, Hakogiri will know it. If at this time, Haggiri falls into the hands of a fatal person and the secret is exposed, the consequences can be imagined.
In the history of the military state, there was a marquis family. Because of the recklessness of the second son, Shagiri found out that the family was plotting a rebellion. Unable to bear the noise of the sword, Haggiri was returned to the imperial family, along with the secrets and evidence of the rebellion. Eventually, the entire family was uprooted. As long as they have the same surname, no one will be left alive.
There was a time when nobles declared their allegiance to the emperor and had to respectfully pick up the shakuri and hand it to the emperor, who would then grant them the same title. This serves as a guarantee for the status of the nobles after the new emperor ascends the throne.
But doing so is also a double-edged sword. Haggiri may not only convey the petty thoughts of his subordinates to the emperor, but may also tell the bad ideas in the heart of the emperor who has just ascended the throne. However, no party has been able to control the uncontrolled weapon.
Therefore, the current emperor, Friedrich Bayer, canceled the ceremony of shakiri sealing at the enthronement ceremony decades ago. This was one of the reasons why he won the support of the nobles.
For nobles, no one has a clean butt. As long as there is a little bit of dirty, who dares to hold that sword boldly. The most disgusting thing is that no matter which party knows the other party's inner thoughts, they can only pretend to smile on such occasions. Afterwards, think of ways to connect with other forces, or secretly collect conclusive evidence to bring down the other party.
In other words, with that sword, only those with a pure heart can endure the voice that keeps ringing in their heads; only those with good character do not need to be afraid of being mastered by a mere weapon. Over time, this knowledge spread, and it evolved into the idea that only people with a simple mind and good conduct are qualified to use Hakiri.
As for thieves and the like, there is no need to worry. Not to mention having the ability to sneak into the palace and steal a legendary weapon that was left unguarded. If a thief dares to steal it, Haggiri will eventually return to the palace. If most nobles have dirty butts, then thieves are simply sitting in the sewage. How to endure a sword has their own secrets.
As for putting it into a treasure house or a sealed container...it will make people understand the meaning of the word 'boxakiri'. Nothing, including magic, can trap this weapon. Then it can connect to the consciousness of the last holder, although over time, this connection will gradually fade and eventually disappear. But until then, Haggiri can still mutter loudly in the mind of the wielder, even at a long distance.
In short, in the Vader Military Kingdom, as long as people reach a certain level or above, seeing that sword is more terrifying than seeing a ghost. What's even worse is that I heard that the magician's Shakiri can not only talk in other people's heads, but can actually speak so that people nearby can hear it.
You know, there are many things that are considered secrets. The less you want to think about them, the clearer they will be in your mind. If you really go to trouble the magician, the other party doesn't have to use any big tricks. Just put the shakuri into your hand and give it a chance to mutter a few words, then you won't have to be a human being in the future. Nobles care more about face and power than their lives.
Because of this, the military nobles who dared to feel uncomfortable in front of a certain magician were almost extinct. Everyone has a tacit understanding to hide as far away as possible. Ship-cutting knives or something, at most send someone to negotiate. If you have one, you're lucky. If you don't, you won't be upset. I'm not afraid that the magician will come back to massacre the city again, I'm just afraid that he will offer that deadly weapon with both hands.
As for those who do not have enough identity to know the secrets of Shakiri, their strength is not enough to fight against the two great magicians. After the battle against the Cockatrice and Water Pirates, no one thought that the useless magician who was "useless without the magic tower" was really a waste.
The materials for more than thirty monster cockatrices were accepted by Baron William Engels. They also soon appeared in the market of Golden Waterway. The large number was enough to prove that all the water pirates were really dead. Instead of going to other places to conquer the monsters, they were brought to the market to make up numbers to confuse the public.
Of course, the Baron did not dare to give away this precious material just like this. However, Lin did not ask for these useless things. Instead, he agreed that if he had the opportunity to build a magic tower in the future, he hoped that the Baron and his wife could sponsor him some magic materials for building the tower.
The Baron and his wife happily agreed to this promise that they didn't know when it would be fulfilled.
This was not to take advantage of others, they also felt from the conversation that the great magician had a strong desire to own another magic tower. The materials that will be presented at that time may be much more expensive than the materials used to settle World of Warcraft now. But even if it counts as a good investment from this magician, it can't be considered a loss.
In this small day of watching a group of extremely arrogant nobles, taking a detour when seeing someone, or contacting them tremblingly, the cruise ship Lin and his party were on left the dimension. Reaching the border of the Military State, we entered the central area with the longest history in Lost Land.
