Chapter 314 Colony Status and Peak Knight (one more update)

After the rain stops.

The two men walking out of “Fox, Badger and Honey Tavern” are still trying to soothe goose bumps on their arms.

“Alwin, do you really need this kind of weird stuff to be promoted to the official wizard?”

Even if you are an official wizard with far more power than an ordinary person, Milan At the same time as hearing those stories, his extremely sharp spiritual sense also felt some kind of crazy malice.

Obviously, taking the risk to find the source of those horrific legends is likely to lead to misfortune!

And for Alwin.

Although I feel that the new continent should have the “dust of Evil Spirit” it needs, compared to the old continent with deep-rooted church power.

But after hearing the horror stories of these new continents from an ordinary tavern, Alwin realized that he was a little too optimistic.

This time, it’s not because “Evil Spirit” is too little or too weak, but because it is too much and too strong!

It’s no wonder that the kingdom’s 18 settlements before Thomastown all died out, although the reasons may be manifold.

These terrifying existences wandering on the continent may not be the main cause, but it is absolutely impossible that they are just sporadic accidents.

In particular, the three original primary civilizations of the new continent, the Kumar Empire, the Gashna Empire, and the Azik Empire, not only generally believe in all things have spirits.

In addition, the Kumars who perished before Cyrus arrived in the new continent, and the Aziks who inherited part of the Kumar civilization, all retain the tradition of blood sacrifice of the same kind!

In this “mysterious” active world, the demise of a large number of long-term intelligent creatures is very likely to lead to unexpected disasters. The source may be evil spirits, monsters, weirdness or even a wandering Evil God .

To say that the weird demise of the entire Kumar civilization has nothing to do with this kind of thing, he wouldn’t believe it!

Don’t talk about learning from history, history is amazingly similar, and breaking the vicious circle is not something that can be achieved with one or two wise leaders.

“Anyway, I’m not going to look for any of these legends. The ‘dust of Evil Spirit’ should just go with the flow.”

So, Alwin decided to Don’t act rashly, prepare to complete this escort mission first.

Now that I have just set foot in the new continent, I have to stay in the new continent for about the first half of the year at least, and there are still many opportunities.

It took more than two months.

A total of five battleship escort fleets escorted twenty-five merchant ships to the new continent via the Tesla Current.

Although the first mission of Second Princess was to assess the impact of Hipponoi’s recovery on shipping.

But according to Captain Robbins, the captain of the “Endeavour” who has traveled back and forth between two continents more than a dozen times, this voyage is smoother than ever before, and even Say simply without a hitch.

Every time a tern sends a message at a fixed time, there is only one sentence: “No abnormality, safe!”.

One possibility is that both sides of the confrontation have died down, and the other possibility is that there is only the tranquility before the rainstorm.

And because this god was active before the great age of voyages began, until now, except for a limited number of countries, most people have not been able to fully understand where Hipponoi went after his return. Sure.

Therefore, the Tesla Current, which is located in the northern part of the Black Sea and leads to the northern colony of Phalatis, may not be within the scope of Hipponoi’s influence, but it directly leads to the normal flow of the new continent, the Yellow Golden Sea. The route can’t be said.

Those things didn’t have much to do with Alwin half a year ago.

At present, the new continent of Pharretis does not have an absolute economic center, and shipping is far safer and more efficient than that of the forested land.

Therefore, the task of the escort fleet is based on the original colony of Thomastown, one team goes north and the other goes south, and each colony will have a merchant ship calling at the port and collecting and distributing goods.

Finally go to Fort Dearborn and Fort George, the naval bases located at the north and south endpoints, which are the borders of the Phalatis colony.

And weather permitting, tomorrow is the day we part ways.

Since coming to the new continent, Alwin has already done his homework in advance on the status of the colony here.

Compared to the central and southern parts, which are occupied by Cyrus and other countries, which are rich in mineral and population resources, the northern part is obviously more barren.

But on this land, under the circumstance that the sea was blocked by the Cyrus fleet for a long time, Phaletis spent hundreds of years struggling to establish 11 independent colonies.

All along the coast in the northeastern part of the new continent, lined from north to south.

However.

When the new continent was just started to colonize a hundred years ago, Pharretis was far from the current national strength, with no money, no one, and weak military strength, but it was impossible to sit back and watch the vast land slip away from its own hands. .

So the then King Your Majesty Thomas I came up with a brilliant idea.

He established two colonial companies, the Carginia and the East Lents Colonial Company, and issued a call to the civilians, merchants, adventurers and nobles in the country in the form of charters.

To them “give, bestow, and affirm” rights to lands, forests, minerals, established Sects, and clergy, as well as jurisdiction, royalty, liberty, Immunity, Imperial Family Rights and Temporary Tax Exemption.

In addition, there is the most crucial one: the “free, complete and absolute” power to prescribe, make and enact laws! The premise is that the laws and regulations of the kingdom’s own territory cannot be violated.

In-depth analysis of the legal principles and details, one day and one night can’t be finished.

Simply put, the kingdom grants them independent economic rights and political privileges at the cost of an insignificant remuneration.

So now these 11 independent colonies are not all officially owned by the kingdom.

Even at the very beginning, there were only three co-existence of corporate colonies (for corporations), owners colonies (for nobles), and autonomous colonies (for private individuals), and there was no royal family at all.

When the policies of the later kingdoms changed and the colony operators faced various serious problems, they bought back most of the colonies step by step, forming a new pattern dominated by the Imperial Family colonies.

Mainly include:

6 Imperial Family colonies. Including Carginia, where Thomastown is located, and East London are governed by the governor directly dispatched by the royal family. It is mainly bicameral, with members of the upper house appointed by the queen and serving as a council of governors, and the lower house is elected by free people.

There are 2 owner colonies. The owners here actually refer to the two nobles, Aymore and Pine, and their descendants. The charter allowed them to appoint governors and officials and set up their own councils and courts, enjoying all the powers the king had in the Imperial Family colonies.

They are the Far Sail collar of the Aymore Peninsula, which is already adjacent to the yellow golden sea in the south, and the Fordmont, which belongs to the Pine family at the northernmost point. They are actually similar to the independent kingdoms of the enfeoffment era.

The last is 3 autonomous colonies. The charter is issued directly to the colony by the queen, and the governor is elected by the local council and approved by the queen for a one-year term. A bicameral parliament is adopted, with members elected by free people.

In addition to the Kingdom of Pharetes, because of the geographical advantage of facing the Black Sea, a waterside pavilion of “Tulip Alliance” gets the moonlight first.

The six member states all have colonies, all of which are in the northern continent that Cyrus has not considered for the time being, but they are big or small, some inland, some by the sea, and some large. Islands and bays.

And most of the colonies of the Sark Empire and the Atlan Kingdom, which are in conflict with them, are also here.

In such a 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 travel back and forth, it is conceivable that in addition to the conflicts between the colonists and the natives, the conflicts between the colonies, the conflicts between the countries The contradiction is also very prominent.

This is one of the reasons why the turmoil has continued since the discovery of the new continent.

Apart from this, Captain Robbins, the experienced captain of the “Endeavour”, also gave Alwin, who came to the new continent for the first time, a piece of advice, which is also three basic principles that must be strictly followed:

p>

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 life that the original colonists summed up with blood and tears!

From another angle, from the knowledge system of Alwin, a wizard.

Going back to the source, the most essential difference between the new continent and the old continent is the difference in the “mysterious factor” or the definition of it by the “living chemical school” senior wizard – the difference in the degree of activity of the “magic element”.

The “magic element” rooted in the Spirit World is difficult to define strictly, because of its transcendental nature, the content of “magic element” in the entire world is constant.

But there are differences in the degree of activity, some places are more inert, and some places are more active.

If the old continent ruled by True God has a “magic element” activity of 50%, then the activity of the new continent is at least 60%, or even higher.

Obviously, the higher the activity of this magical energy, the easier it is to appear all kinds of weirdness that are difficult for mortals to understand! The more dangerous it is for mortals!

The two returned to the “Cape Storm” moored at the pier.

Alwin took out a note and read it carefully.

I have no clue about the Evil Spirit I am looking for, but it does not affect my enhancement of other powers.

“My Captain, are you really not going to give up the road of the Knight?”

The captain’s special cake was brought from the kitchen, and Milan was preparing to make tea , looked up to see the note in Alwin’s hand, as an orthodox wizard, he said he couldn’t understand.

In his opinion, as a promising wizard, clinging to sword technique is putting the cart before the horse.

As long as you advance to the official wizard, you can leverage the power of the world through the truth you master, whether it is creativity, productivity, battle strength (under the premise of adequate preparation), you will be a few streets away from the same level of Knight. .

According to his knowledge, it is common for the great third rank upper wizard and fourth rank title to be on an equal footing in the major kingdoms on the continent.

Alwin, however, clearly disagrees with his point of view.

Alwin just celebrated his 17th birthday during this more than two-month voyage at sea.

It was not very long after his birthday, and because of the continuous effect of the “Holy Baptism Pool Water”, his physical fitness finally reached the peak of the flawless Knight level.

physique 4.96, strength 4.95, agility 4.98, spirit strength 0.99.

It can be said that every attribute has come to the limit of Alwin’s theoretical body, and Knight’s physical ferocity has been completely completed.

The power system of the Knight path is very simple.

The official symbol of Knight’s extraordinary power is “physical ferocity”, and after the ferocity gradually reaches its limit and becomes the peak Knight, the Knights need to further control the body after the ferocity through Breathing Technique and self-suggestion , the power is gradually liberated.

At this time, the competition between Knights is the subtle control between fury and reason. When the body can fully adapt to 100% liberation, it means that it has the qualification to impact the Great Knight!

And Geer is a powerful peak Knight who has completed 100% liberation of physical strength and is preparing to hit the third rank.

Before Alwin set off, as his 17th birthday present, Goll gave him the experience of liberating his physical power in advance.

For Alwin, even if it is a new path, he hopes that he will walk out of the new path with the most perfect attitude, and he does not want to leave any regrets.

“Oh! Someone, how long has this been going on, the Knight level is just a formal level, and now I don’t even practice sword techniques much.

The sorcerer’s magic is again. There is almost no attack power, and now the combat capability is not as good as the later Gary.

If you really encounter evil spirits on this continent, don’t blame me for not pulling you when you run away.”

Pfft—!

Drinking the tea in his mouth, Milan spit it out all at once.

“pei pei pei! Following you all this time, I feel like we’ve been running away. We just came to the new continent, can we stop the crow’s mouth? Why do I suddenly have an ominous feeling What’s your hunch?”

“cough cough illusions are illusions!”

Today’s big push, two more tonight
