Journey of the Infinite Wizard

The Strait of Gibraltar guards the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea, and its strategic position was not obvious in the past. However, since the discovery of the new world and the opening of new sea routes, its special status and importance have become more and more prominent. It has become a key position and also a crucial portal channel.

In order to protect its dominant position in Mediterranean trade, to protect its own Suez Canal trade, and to prevent excessive impact of various commodities from the New World on the Mediterranean trade circle that has long been stable and orderly. The people of Tang sent a squadron a few years ago with hundreds of warships to threaten the Kingdom of Castile. Robbery, forcing the Kingdom of Castile to officially cede Gibraltar!

Faced with the Tang people, who have a desperate naval strength and equally strong army strength, the Kingdom of Castile faced the Tang people's door-to-door "invoking a teacher to ask a crime", saying that they hindered the normal trade rules, and thus seized Gibraltar. For this reason, even though Castile was filled with righteous indignation, he was also afraid of the absolute dominance of the Tang people and the pressure from religion. In desperation, according to the meaning of the Tang people, a treaty was signed to formally cede the land of Gibraltar. So far, Gibraltar has become the territory of the Tang people, and has become the smallest province of the Tang people.

After acquiring Gibraltar, the Tang people made a lot of construction and infrastructure projects here. Moreover, a military fortress with complete facilities and powerful firepower was built. The small Gibraltar was completely fortified, and a port city was built in Gibraltar. An army of 5,000 people was stationed all year round to guard the fortress of Gibraltar. And at the berth of the military port, an anti-smuggling fleet is also stationed to patrol any ships entering the Mediterranean Sea and check their cargo.

Because of the Mediterranean trade, the Tang people compulsorily and unilaterally enforced the 'Anti-dumping Act' on the grounds that they should not excessively impact normal trade exchanges with cheap goods from the New World. In fact, the most fundamental purpose is to protect its own trade supremacy and commodity pricing power in the Mediterranean!

Every year, ships that are allowed to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar have a quota for the goods they carry on board. If it exceeds the quota, it will face additional taxation. For this reason, the Tang people's explanation is to protect normal trade exchanges. Oppose any illegal anti-dumping trade! Because at the very beginning, the Tang people did not participate in the great voyage and the colonization of the New World as early as the rest of the European countries. Their main trade and communication is still East-West trade!

That is, through the convenient conditions of the Suez Canal, from India, China, Persia, the Spice Islands and even Japan, there is continuous round-trip trade. Shipping goods from the East back to the West, and because of their strong military strength and equally strong economic strength, the people of Tang gradually grasped the pricing power of the goods! Afterwards, after a series of operations and developments, the people of Tang finally established the Mediterranean economic and trade circle and occupied an absolute dominant position in it.

Although the countries were dissatisfied, they once thought of joining forces, but under the strong military deterrence of the Tang people and a series of diplomatic wooing, beatings and disintegrations, the most likely alliances were shattered. Later, the Tang people took the opportunity to send troops several times, such as completely destroying the Egyptian dynasty and turning it into their own province. It was the moment when the Tang people showed their force to the outside world. The strength of the Tang people at that time completely gave them a deep understanding of the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa.

Not only is the navy strong, but the army is also not weak. In addition, this country has a large population, and its war potential is extremely huge. The land area that should have been their shortcoming has also increased dramatically with the drastic changes in the world. Therefore, the only shortcoming no longer exists.

And this also created the special status of Tang people. Even so, it has been a long time since he launched a war abroad! However, no one dared to underestimate them. Those countries are not strong yet, and they dare not start a new round of war with the Tang people! The people of Tang also had monarchs and ministers with relatively long-term vision, and the future situation became confusing again.

When the elegant white boat sailed into the Strait of Gibraltar, it was stopped by the anti-smuggling fleet belonging to the Tang people in the Strait. And the anti-smuggling fleet that stopped the white boat looked at the beautiful and elegant white boat in front of them in astonishment. They had never seen such a ship, whether it was from Tang Dynasty or from Europe, North Africa or Asia. And they had never seen the flag hoisted on the ship. However, all the Tang officers and soldiers on the 'Tang Banner' that clearly belonged to their own country's flag beside the unfamiliar flag were no strangers at all.

They were all surprised, how the flag of their country was hoisted on a strange ship in a grand manner? Therefore, dozens of anti-smuggling fleets immediately launched an encircling battle formation. And the other ships that followed closely wanting to enter the strait, saw this scene, and all avoided, hiding in the distance and watching here quietly.

Although they were also very dissatisfied with Tang Ren's domineering rules, they did not dare to speak out easily. In today's vast area around the Mediterranean Sea, the Tang people are well-deserved bosses and overlords. All the land bordering the Mediterranean Sea, no one can speak ill of this country that has occupied the Mediterranean Sea for nearly six hundred years. Even the big cannibal, who is already weakened now, dare not mention the history of the past hundreds of years.

"Call your captain out, we have something to ask him!"

The Tang people looked at the strange things on the deck of the white ship, and they had never seen any living creatures on the deck. But he still shouted loudly, and he believed that the captain of this beautiful white ship would definitely come out after hearing it.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tall figure walking out of the cabin.

"This is……"

Everyone looked at this figure with amazed eyes, long silver hair, lake blue eyes, soft and three-dimensional facial features, plus the astonishing height and pointed ears. A word that has been widely circulated in recent years suddenly emerged from their minds.

"Elf!"

The Tang people immediately began to whisper, even though they had not seen elves, they had seen some of them from the poems and pictures that had been circulated all over Europe over the years. Coupled with the descriptions of the sailors who were said to have reached the land of the elves, the white boat, silver hair, superior height, pointed ears, and a beautiful appearance that makes women jealous. In addition, at this moment, these characteristics of the other party are without exception proving his identity. It is in Europe, the bubbling elf that is spreading!

"Are you an elf?"

Elsevier nodded slowly, and replied, "That's right!" His mouth was full of Tang dialect.

Tang Ren, who got the answer, shrank his pupils suddenly, and looked surprised, "You can speak our language!" He was surprised, but then remembered his duty, and asked, "Elf, why did you appear here? Yes..." He looked at the Tang flag flying high on the white ship's mast, "Why, our country's flag is flying on your ship?"

Eswell said slowly, "This was given to me by a captain of the Tang Dynasty who had died long ago, and his entourage gave me his voyage diary, as well as the sea area and water patterns drawn along the way. I accept that he is dying. Come here with your previous request. Give these things to your lord, and pass on the news of their death to you!"

"What!!!"
