What kind of profession do I want to create? A profession with infinite possibilities. The name of this profession... well, after breaking through to a 'Wushi', let's traditionally call...
Nanzhao Kingdom, the first thing that comes to mind when hearing this name is that this is a country built on the endless swamps in the south.
However, after arriving in Nanzhao Country, you will find that it is not the case at all.
The swamps in Nanshu Province are actually paddy fields!
Nanzhao Kingdom is very similar to the southern part of China.
There is a lot of rain, many mountains, many mosquitoes, many rat riders, and many people.
These five things once made Nanzhao the most powerful country on this continent.
More rain means more paddy fields, more food production, and naturally more population.
Where there are many mountains, there are many cities, and a large population will not stop reproducing just because they have no place to live.
There are many mosquitoes, which makes it easy for outsiders here to get sick. The Federation’s several invasions into Nanzhao Country were all repelled by the bites of these mosquitoes.
The Rat Knights' individual combat capabilities might be the worst among all the Knight families, but the Maosi family's population is huge! It's nearly half the population of the three major Knight families combined.
The population is huge, with the average person being more than ten times that of the Federation.
Nanshuo State was also a country that valued ordinary people the most. The earliest professional parliamentary system was created by this country to protect the interests of ordinary people.
Of course, those ordinary people who make up the House of Commons do not have the power to make decisions, but only the right to senate. The decision-making power comes from the House of Lords composed of the wizards of the Maosi family.
Nanzhao Kingdom was once the most open-minded country towards sorcerers.
The Federation was formed to fight against the Nanshu Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom, and the three knight families established a United Nations-like political system because, if they were not united, they would be destroyed by the Nanshu Kingdom or the Demon Kingdom. It was entirely for self-preservation.
The government's policies and institutions are all modeled after those of Nanshu.
However, soon after the Federation was formed, the Demon Kingdom encountered problems and switched from offense to defense. Less than a hundred years later, Nanzhao also encountered internal problems. This shift allowed the Federation to rise from the bottom and become the largest nation. For the past thirty years, it has been the offensive party, attacking whoever it pleased and maintaining its immense power.
Thirty years ago, the sorcerers and knights of the Maosi family suddenly split. For unknown reasons, all knights stationed in various cities retreated to the western Tiandun Mountain and Liangjie River Fortress, tacitly accepting the family sorcerers' complete rule over the Nanzhao Kingdom. However, the knights' logistical supplies not only continued uninterrupted, but actually doubled.
Soon after, the Martin Massacre occurred, shocking the South Marsh Country. Then came the Witch Exclusion Act. The witches of the Maus family officially announced their names and changed their names to Warlocks.
"Mage? Interesting. Is this another promotion path for sorcerers? It seems that I am really lucky. I appeared when the Federation needed me the most and solved the problem of their sorcerers lagging behind!
The Federation seems strong, but it seems like it is just bluffing!
For example, the strength of Nanzhao Kingdom has not weakened, but it has switched from offense to defense because of national policy. As for the Demon Kingdom, there may be problems as well.
The sorcerer to the Nanzhao Kingdom and the wizard to the Federation are very similar!
Tano should know some inside information, but he was hesitant and didn't say it out loud.
My father thought I was traveling around the Federation and that all the analysis he gave to my mother was just for me. He wanted to tell me the bottom line of the three major families in the Federation.
Tsk tsk, I guess you never dreamed that I would go abroad and travel to Nanzhao Country."
Which is better, a magician or a wizard? Which is worse?
After summarizing and analyzing the survey data, Hering found the above interesting conclusions.
During these three days, He Lin used the consciousness chip to not only learn the language and writing of Nanzhao Kingdom, but also conducted a comprehensive investigation and research on the history, culture, geography, social customs, etc. of Nanzhao Kingdom. It can be said that He Lin now knows more about Nanzhao Kingdom than his motherland, the Federation.
Looking at the capital city in front of him - Yongchang City, He Lin flew up and planned to make a formal visit as an official great wizard.
People in and outside Nanchang City saw a young man wearing a dark yellow hooded robe, long black boots, and dark yellow short hair flying from the sky. He flew over the city gate. He did not look at the chaos at the city gate, but calmly greeted in the Federal language.
"Confederacy, City of Wizards, Great Wizard Herlin Will, comes to pay his respects to the Grand Wizard Dekin Maus of the South Marsh Nation."
Not long after He Lin finished speaking, an old man, half of his body submerged in the black cloud, flew over from far outside the city and smiled at He Lin.
"I thought you were supposed to be here two days ago, but you only came today."
"I came to Nanshu Country to do some research. I was unexpectedly overwhelmed by its history and culture, so I was delayed for two days. Please forgive me."
The other party knew he would come, it was completely expected. After all, the task he accepted was still hanging at the top of the screen in the task hall!
I wonder how many people knew he was coming to Nanzhao Country. Given their strength and influence, it's impossible for them not to have this information.
But the information is so fast, could it be a cell phone?! This is really shooting itself in the foot. (Laughed jokingly)
The old man opposite, the great magician Dejin, is the leader of the magicians that he has been investigating in the past period of time.
During the mental force field scan, the other party was protected by a negative energy field and could not be scanned at all. One could only judge with the naked eye that those black clouds should be a group of some kind of mosquitoes.
However, the black cloud of mosquitoes and the Great Magician Dejin were fused together by some extraordinary power, allowing the Great Magician Dejin to also possess the ability to fly.
The only things that cannot be scanned by mental force fields are energy fields of the same level or above.
Like the soul energy field of intelligent creatures, the soul of any ordinary person is also protected by a very high-level soul force field. Therefore, don't underestimate ordinary people. They are naturally suited to the soul-based cultivation system of wizards.
The Great Knight's life energy field. An automatic protection mechanism formed by the Great Knight's powerful vitality.
For example, the wizard's spiritual energy field, although not integrated with the earth's force field, is also spiritual power, so it is naturally impossible to penetrate the scan.
Now, I've encountered another sorcerer. He possesses a strange, negative energy field. This is the fourth type of bio-energy field I've encountered.
However, there was a very uncomfortable feeling. It wasn't like the neutral and restrained soul energy field of an ordinary person, nor was it like the fiery and fierce life energy field of a great knight, nor was it like the active and agile spiritual energy field. Instead, it was a kind of sickness and death.
"Great Wizard Herlin, using energy fields to test is a very rude act."
"Oh! Sorry, no one has ever told me that before."
What an insincere apology.
Grand Warlock Dejin didn't bother with the little brat.
The two soon came to a barren mountain with a palace complex on it.
It says on it - Magician Palace.
