I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 251 Secored

Note: Secored is the predecessor of the Kingdom of Pislan.

【Um?】

Lancelot felt that the name looked familiar, so he turned back a page and found the information he wanted.

Secored was originally a small town in the River Valley Kingdom.

Around the year 400 of the Oracle Calendar, due to the weakness and incompetence of the rulers of the Valley Kingdom, Secored was invaded by a barbaric ogre tribe for a long time.

According to legend, one day, a strange piece of metal fell from the sky to the mountains near Secored, and was acquired by the legendary master blacksmith Carl. Carl discovered that this strange stone was very light and extremely hard, and was more difficult to break than any known metal.

Control.

Rumors soon spread in the town. Some said that the strange stone was a fragment of the crown on the head of the heavenly father Ives, while others said that it was a fragment of the war hammer of Gurtos, the god of war, when he fought against the Devourer of the Abyss.

In the end, blacksmith Karl blended the metal with the brilliance of rebellion extracted from the meteorite and pure silver to forge a powerful sword. He gave it to the warrior Hawke who vowed to kill the ogre and take back the town.

.

Holding the divine sword, Hawke led everyone to fulfill their expectations and eliminate the ogre tribe that had been entrenched in Secored for a long time. After the Secored people retaken their town, the tax collectors of the River Valley Kingdom returned to Secored.

And asked the Secored people to pay the taxes owed for the past ten years. However, the fruits of the Secored people's labor have long been plundered by the ogres.

The River Valley Kingdom failed to fulfill its promise to protect the Secored people, but shamelessly demanded taxes, which aroused the indignation of the Secored people. Under the leadership of Demon Slayer Hawk, the Secored people revolted one after another.

, and successively defeated the army of the River Valley Kingdom.

The then King of the River Valley had to recognize Secored's independence, and Demon Slayer Hawke was crowned king. At this point, the Secored Kingdom was established.

The capital of Secored is called Koshvor. This name has a very unique origin. It comes from the writings left by the ancient elves.

When the early human colonists settled on the banks of the Sina River, they discovered the ruins of an ancient elven city and found these mysterious ancient characters on the remaining stone pillars of a hall. This means 'big ship in the river'.——

The elves nearby said that humans read these characters as "Koshvor" according to their own language habits.

But no one likes to stay in these ruins for too long. The bone-like ruins protruding from the withered yellow grass and low shrubs make people feel very uncomfortable.

At the end of the Middle Ages, as more and more human residents moved to the Sine River, several villages were crowded together, and people began to think about building a city.

However, there is a problem here: although the lush forests in the upper reaches of the Sina River provide an inexhaustible supply of wood, being in a vast plain makes the city's founders troubled by the lack of stone.

The soft soil beneath their feet is dozens of feet deep. In addition to a few small peaks hidden in the green sea forest, the nearest mountain range is also several weeks away, and the nearly thirsty Sina River cannot accommodate transportation.

Large ships of stone sailed among them.

Until a bold stonemason proposed to build the city on the ruins of "Koshvor" - there are a large number of stones left by the ancient elves, many of which have been carefully cut and carved and can be easily used.

In the end, the dispute quickly subsided, the stonemason's proposal was adopted, and a city that later grew to become the capital of King Secored was built.

It is worth mentioning that the Sina River completely dried up before the city of Kosvol was built. The metaphor of "the river's big boat" does not seem so appropriate. But people still affectionately call this city "the big boat city"

”.

——Excerpt from "The Rise of Kingdoms"

The "Big Forest" is just south of Dazhou City.

The strange thing is that the large tracts of forest in the north of the city have been cut down, and farmlands and villages of all sizes are scattered on the land that was originally forest, while the forest in the south has miraculously been preserved intact.

It is filled with countless towering ancient trees. People call this forest the "big forest". Legend has it that some kind of magic has been cast here. No matter you walk through it thousands of times during the day, as long as you dare to step into it at night

If you take one step here, you will definitely get lost.

This magic did not come from the wizard Lu Si'en. Its origin is much older than people imagined. It may have been cast before the historical records of mankind appeared.

With the opening of a road across the forest, this night curse seems to be less effective, but it is still rare for people to walk in the forest at night.

It has been proposed more than once that this forest should be cut down altogether, but successive kings have refused these requests without hesitation. They said that there is always a need to leave some pleasing scenery around the city.

——Excerpt from "The Modern Legend of Secored"

Within Secored's territory, there are several ancient towns with long histories: they were either built on famous ruins, or they were the former capitals of an ancient kingdom.

The rich cultural heritage and large amounts of treasures made these ancient cities famous far and wide. However, during the war, the good reputation became the source of disaster. Most of the originally prosperous cities fell into decline after being looted several times.

As one of the smaller ones, Stubb has been lucky enough to avoid disasters again and again, mostly due to its unique geographical location.

Stubb is located southeast of Ark City, in the heart of the Sencheran Plain, adjacent to the vastest forest in Secored, known as the "Green Sea".

The Green Sea Forest and Lake Kraken surround Stump City on three sides, embracing it. Only a few small villages are scattered along the road leading to Koshvoll in the northwest. Its city walls have never been built since its construction.

Not expanded by more than half.

Therefore, even with hundreds of years of history and development, Stubb's population is only a little over two thousand, which is far behind those emerging towns established in recent decades.

The vast green sea forest was once the main source of timber in the Sencheran Plain, and timber merchants flocked to it. In order to facilitate felling and transportation, humans opened a road in the forest that is more than a hundred miles long and runs through the forest.

But this move angered the elves living there. After many conflicts, large and small, the two parties finally signed a reconciliation treaty, and mining in the forest was banned, and Stubb was forgotten in the corridors of history.

.

There is an ancient elven clan that does not want to be disturbed living in the Green Sea Forest. They call themselves the Zephyr Elves, while other elves have a higher regard for them and call them the "Crown of Elves".
