I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 252 History & Family (Part 1)

Before Stubb City was located there, the Zephyrs had been thriving in the forest for thousands of years. Their main settlement, Elfron, is located in the northwest of the Eastern Forest, about thirty miles away from the Forest Road.

place.

In addition, there are a dozen smaller settlements scattered throughout the forest.

In the center of the entire eastern forest, several small peaks stand among the layers of trees, like isolated islands in a sea of ​​green.

Mount Shamnaya is the tallest of these hills. It is also the sacred mountain in elven culture - the place where the goddess of life, Elos, once came to this land.

In the Divine Edict, when the tide of immortality was raging on the earth, the powerful Zephyr Elves led the forest elves and the remaining human coalition forces to fight to the death. Then their leader Antrielle awakened the heart of Elos at the cost of her life.

The hidden divine power ended that disaster.

Now, the zephyrs have become the cultural center of the entire elven kingdom, and they lead the way forward for all forest elves, as the elves say: "elsa'de'yats'fltur (the zephyrs guide our direction)."

Lancelot continued to turn to the next page, and a more familiar word came into view: freely.

nds (freely):

It was a military alliance composed of several small city-states united to avoid oppression and military threats from surrounding big countries. The members of this alliance were each independent country and did not interfere in each other's internal affairs.

Since the end of the Orc War ten years ago, some remaining forces belonging to the extinct countries in the Sino-York Alliance were unwilling to join the newly established Sino-Jordan Empire, so they declared independence in the form of city-states and joined the Free Land Alliance.

Since then, there have been constant political frictions between the Free Land and the Sino-Jordan Alliance. Freeland politicians are extremely wary of the Sino-Jordan Empire, the most powerful empire in history, but the southern members of the Sino-Jordan Alliance are also wary of the rich and free land.

The city-states were eyeing each other. Therefore, although the two kingdoms had not made it clear, they had been hostile to each other for several years.

Not only that, apart from the political conflicts between Liberty and Secored, it is also a land known for chaos and trouble. His name is 'Freedom', but he is actually 'Disorder'.

There are almost no laws in the villages and towns outside the city-state, but they follow the natural basic principle of the jungle. Therefore, criminals and troubles are everywhere. But it is indeed a paradise for black market transactions, so it has also become a paradise for goblin caravans.

Ideal place.

Note: Blackthorn is located in the eastern part of the Free Land, and is only subject to the basic criminal laws of the Free Land. Its socioeconomic culture is in a completely closed-loop state, and its lord is the Free Land registered magician Harvey.

Seeing this, Lancelot finally figured out where the Black Thorn was.

In short, it is a relatively orderly land in a disorderly land.

Moreover, according to the information he got from the annotations in the book, the areas of Freedom except for the Black Thorn are still in the barbaric period, and many places have not yet been civilized.

He remembered the book "Steel, Magic and Heraldry" he had seen in the study on the third floor, which contained some descriptions of cyberpunk and steampunk. At that time, Lancelot was still skeptical. Now, combined with

Judging from the position of Blackthorn in the free land, it seems logical.

Barkan(Kingdom of Barkan):

An ancient kingdom that has been active on the southern plains since the Fire Age. In ancient times, the Red Rock Wasteland was still a fertile grassland, and there was a southern nomadic tribe called Ogaland active on it, which was once an enemy of the Bakan Kingdom.

Due to frequent plunder by the Egalans, King Alder II of Bakan built the original city wall of Serombel. He also burned all the meadows and woods in the south and sprinkled the plowed land with salt to create the

The Red Rock Wasteland is now so barren of grass.

Due to lack of forage, the Egalans had no choice but to cross the Narrow Sea and migrate to the southeastern coastal areas. Most of the Egalans were incorporated into the then Pislan Kingdom. However, even after the intrusion of the nomads, the Bakan Kingdom

However, it died out in the civil war in the next half century.

In Sebion, in addition to the surface dwarves who have integrated into human society as merchants and mercenaries, there are six pure blood branches of the dwarves. Among them, the most powerful rock dwarves and red-bearded dwarves are in the Blackstone Mountains in the southwest.

Two dwarven kingdoms were established with the Iron Kingdom mountains to the northeast.

The Rock Dwarf Kingdom is adjacent to Secored and has close contact with human society. Most of the surface dwarves are from there. They believe that their ancestor is the stonemason god Elk, and their ruler is his direct lineage.

Descendant Gront Stonearm.

What the Rock Dwarves are most proud of is their outstanding construction craftsmanship. There is a proverb: Each Rock Dwarf lives in a palace. Their magnificent building complex covers almost all the space underground and on the surface, and goes deep underground.

The thousands of feet of underground city are the most spectacular.

Therefore, for the rock dwarves, the most noble job is to devote their art to carving and stacking. In the kingdom, only highly skilled stonemasons can be appointed to official positions and participate in political discussions. And those highly praised stonemasons

Masters, even if they are not given any title, their words carry full weight.

However, noble work is not suitable for everyone. Those dwarves who do not have the talent of stonemason have to settle for the second best and play the role of miners and mountain workers. At the same time, the rock dwarves have a natural love for gems, and they are keen to collect colorful stones.

, and most dwarves are talented in gem identification.

Gems are very cheap in the underground kingdom, but they are hard to buy in the human kingdom. Therefore, some enlightened dwarves left their hometowns and entered human society to become businessmen, and easily made a lot of money with their talents.

In contrast, the red-bearded dwarves who live in the Iron Furnace Mountains in the northeast of the mainland appear somewhat reserved and closed-off. They do not like to share their skills with other races, although their condensed metal and forged iron tools are valued by everyone.

Like a treasure.

But no matter how high the price paid by humans, the red-bearded dwarves are only willing to sell their lowest-quality works to them, but even these "inferior products" are in high demand in the human kingdom.

There are two kinds of rivers in the underground world, flowing water and magma respectively. These two provide the dwarves with a natural forging environment. Therefore, the highly skilled blacksmiths among the red-bearded dwarves can create top-notch metal tools without a furnace.

——"Dwellers Under the Surface"

The above are all excerpts from some ancient works. Lancelot was a little confused. He turned back several pages and soon found a new chapter.

The boy sighed and looked down patiently.
