Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 314: The status quo of the colony and the peak knights
Chapter 314 Status Quo of the Colony and the Peak Knight (one more)
After the rain stopped.
The two people walking out of the "Fox, Badger, and Honey Tavern" are still trying to smooth the goose bumps on their arms.
"Aven, do you really need this kind of weird thing to be promoted to an official wizard?"
Even as a formal wizard, he has far more power than ordinary people. While hearing those stories, Milan's extremely keen spiritual sense also felt a certain kind of crazy malice.
Obviously, if you venture to trace the source of those horror legends, you will most likely lead to misfortune!
For Aiwen.
Although I feel that the New World should have the "dust of evil spirits" that it needs compared to the Old World where church forces are deeply rooted.
But only from an ordinary tavern, after hearing these horror legends of the New World, Ivan realized that his thoughts were a bit too optimistic.
This time not because there are too few "evil spirits" and too weak, but too many and too strong!
No wonder the 18 settlements established by the kingdom before Thomastown have all died down, although the reasons may be many.
These horrible existences wandering on the mainland may not be the main cause, but they can never be just sporadic accidents.
Especially the three original primitive civilizations of the New World, the Kumar Empire, Gashna Empire, and Azik Empire, not only generally believed in animism.
Moreover, the Kumar people who perished before Hilius arrived in the new world and the Azics who inherited part of the Kumar civilization have retained the tradition of blood sacrifices of the same kind!
In this "mysterious" active world, the demise of a large number of long-term intelligent creatures is very likely to cause unexpected disasters. The source may be evil spirits, monsters, weirdness, or even a wandering evil god.
Speaking of the weird demise of the entire Kumar civilization, it has nothing to do with this kind of thing. He didn't believe it if he killed him!
Don’t say anything about learning from history. History is surprisingly similar. Breaking the vicious circle cannot be achieved by having one or two wise leaders.
"Anyway, these legends, no matter which one I am not going to look for, the ‘Evil Spirit’s Dust’ thing is better to go with the flow."
So, Ivan decided not to act rashly and was ready to complete this **** mission first.
Now that I have just set foot in the New World, I have to stay in the New World for at least the first half of the year. There are still many opportunities.
It took more than two months.
A **** fleet consisting of a total of five warships escorted 25 merchant ships to the New World via the Tesca Current.
Although, when the Second Queen gave the mission, the purpose was to evaluate the impact of Hipponoah's recovery on shipping.
According to the experience, Captain Robbins of the Endeavour, who has traveled more than a dozen times between the two continents, said that this voyage was smoother than ever before, and it could even be said to be nothing at all. No waves.
Every time the tern sends a message, only one sentence is passed back: "No exception, safe!".
One possibility is that both sides of the confrontation have died down, and the other possibility is the calm before the storm.
Because this **** was active before the opening of the great sea age, until now, except for a limited number of countries, most people have not been completely sure where Hipponoah went after his return.
So the Tesga Ocean Current, which is located in the northern part of the Black Sea and leads to the northern colony of Falitis, may not be within the influence of Hipponoah, but the normal route directly to the Golden Sea of the New World is uncertain. .
Those things didn't have much to do with Aiwen six months ago.
Currently, the New World Colony of Falitis does not have an absolute economic center, and shipping is far safer and more efficient than densely forested land.
Therefore, the mission of the **** fleet is based on the original colony, Thomastown, with one team going north and the other going south. Each colony will have merchant ships calling at ports and cargo distribution.
Finally, we went to the naval bases of Fort Dearborn and Fort George located on the border of the Falettis colony to change defenses.
If the weather permits, tomorrow will be the day to part ways.
Since coming to the New World, Ivan has already done enough homework in advance of the current colony here.
Compared with the central and southern regions occupied by countries such as Sirius and rich in minerals and population, the northern regions are obviously more barren.
But on this land, under the circumstances that the sea was blocked by the Hilius fleet for a long time, Falettis had struggled to establish 11 independent colonies over a hundred years.
They are all on the coast of the northeastern part of the New World, in a line from north to south.
However.
When the colonization of the New World just started a hundred years ago, Falitis was far from the current national strength, no money, no one, and weak military strength, but it was impossible to sit and watch the vast land slip away from his hands.
So the King Thomas I, at that time, came up with a brilliant idea.
He established two colonial companies, Kaguinia and East Lenz, and at the same time issued a call to civilians, merchants, adventurers and nobles in the country in the form of a charter.
To them "give, gift and confirm" the rights to land, forests, and minerals within the boundaries, the rights to establish churches and recommend clergy, as well as the right to jurisdiction, franchise rights, freedoms, immunities, royal rights and Temporary tax exemption.
In addition, there is the most critical one: the power to stipulate, formulate and promulgate laws "free, complete and absolute"! The premise is that the laws and regulations of the kingdom cannot be violated.
In-depth analysis of the legal principles and details, and I can't finish talking all day and night.
Simply put, the kingdom grants them independent economic rights and political privileges, and the price is only a small amount of remuneration.
So now, not all of the 11 independent colonies belong to the official kingdom.
Even at the very beginning, there were only three co-existence of corporate colonies (owned by companies), owner colonies (owned by nobles), and autonomous colonies (owned by private individuals). There was no royal family at all.
When the kingdom’s policies changed in the later period and the colony operators were faced with various serious problems, they bought back most of the colonies step by step, forming a new pattern dominated by royal colonies.
Mainly include:
6 royal colonies. Including Kaguinia and East Lents where Thomastown is located... the governor directly dispatched by the royal family to govern. The bicameral system is mainly adopted. The members of the upper house are appointed by the queen and also serve as the council of the governor. The lower house is elected by free citizens.
There are 2 owner colonies. The owners here actually refer to the two nobles and their descendants, Amore and Pine. The charter allowed them to appoint governors and officials on their own, and to set up deliberative organs and courts on their own, enjoying all the powers the king had in the royal colony.
Respectively, they are the far sailing collar of the Emore Peninsula, which is already adjacent to the Golden Sea on the southernmost side, and the Fortemont, which belongs to the Pine family at the northernmost point. They are actually almost the same as the independent kingdoms of the enfeoffment era.
Finally, there are 3 autonomous colonies. The queen directly issues a charter to the colony. The governor is elected by the local council and approved by the queen for a one-year term. The bicameral system of parliament is adopted, and members are elected by free people.
Except for the Kingdom of Falitis, because of the geographical advantage of facing the Black Sea, the "Tulip Alliance" has the advantage of being near the water.
The six member states have colonies, and they are all located in the northern part of the mainland that Hilius has not considered for the time being, but they are large or small, some in the interior, some on the sea, and some large islands and bays.
And most of the colonies of the Sark Empire, the Atlan Kingdom...that contradict them are also here.
In this situation where the composition of the colony is complex, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it takes half a year for a person to go back and forth, it is conceivable that in addition to the contradictions between colonists and natives, contradictions between colonies, contradictions between countries, but also It is particularly prominent.
This is also one of the reasons why turmoil has continued since the discovery of the New World.
In addition, the experienced Captain of the Endeavour, Colonel Robbins, also gave Ivan, who came to the New World for the first time, a piece of advice and three basic principles that must be strictly followed:
1. Don't go out alone after dark; 2. Don't trust any unfamiliar native; 3. Don't touch anything you don't know.
This is the way of survival summed up by the original colonists with blood and tears!
From another perspective, from the knowledge system of the wizard Ivan.
Looking to the roots, the most essential difference between the New World and the Old World is the "mystery factor" or the definition of it by the "living chemistry school" predecessor wizards-the difference in the degree of activity of the "magic element".
It is difficult to strictly define the "magic element" rooted in the spiritual world, because of its nature beyond space and geography, and the content of "magic element" in the entire world is constant.
However, there are differences in the degree of activity, some places are more inert, and some places are more active.
If the "magic element" of the old continent ruled by the true **** is 50% active, then the new continent has at least 60% or even higher activeness.
Obviously, the higher the activity of this magical energy, the more weird things that mortals can't understand! The more dangerous it is for mortals!
The two returned to the "Cape Storm" moored at the pier.
Ivan took out a notebook and looked at it seriously.
The evil spirit I am looking for has no clue for the time being, but it does not affect my enhancement of other powers.
"My Captain, are you really not going to give up the road of knights?"
Bringing the captain's special cakes from the kitchen, Milan was preparing to make tea, and he looked up and saw the notes in Aiwen's hands. As an orthodox wizard, he said that he couldn't understand it.
In his opinion, as a promising wizard, clinging to swordsmanship is really putting the cart before the horse.
As long as you advance to a formal wizard and use the truth you have mastered to leverage the power of the world, whether it is creativity, productivity, or combat power (provided you have sufficient preparation), you will be a few blocks away from the knights of the same level.
According to his understanding, in the major kingdoms on the mainland, it is common for the valuable Tier 3 high-ranking wizards and Tier 4 titles to be equal.
However, Irving clearly disagrees with his views.
In this two-month voyage at sea, Ivan just passed his 17th birthday.
It didn't take long before his birthday, and because of the continuous effect of the "Holy Baptismal Water", his physical fitness finally reached the level of the perfect peak knight.
Physical 4.96, Strength 4.95, Agility 4.98, Mental Strength 0.99.
It can be said that every attribute has reached the limit of Aiwen's theoretical body, and the knight's physical fierceness has been completely completed.
The power system of the Cavaliers Path is very simple.
Official knights’ supernatural power is marked by "violent physical violence." After the fierce violent gradually reaches its limit and become the pinnacle knight, the knights need to use breathing methods and self-suggestion to further control the violent physical body, and the power is gradually liberated. .
At this time, the competition between knights is the subtle control between rage and reason. When the body can fully adapt to 100% liberation, it means that you have the qualification to attack the great knight!
And Geer is a powerful peak knight who has completed 100% liberation of his physical strength and is about to attack Tier 3.
Before Ivan set off, as his 17th birthday present, Geer gave him the experience of liberating his physical power in advance.
For Aiwen~IndoMTL.com~, even if it is another way, I hope that I will walk a new path in the most perfect posture, and I don't want to leave any regrets.
"Oh! Someone, how long has this been since? The knight level is only a formal level, and now I don’t even practice swordsmanship very much.
The witchcraft of the prophet has almost no offensive power, and now the fighting ability is not as good as that of Gary.
If you really encounter evil spirits on this continent, don't blame me for not holding you when you run away. "
Puff——!
The tea that I drank in my mouth was all sprayed out by Milan.
"Bah, baah! I have been by your side for this period of time, and I feel that we have been running away. Just arrived in the New World, can we stop the crow's mouth? Why do I suddenly have an ominous premonition?"
"Ahem...Illusions are all illusions!"
