"You said this is the legendary lost land of Boravice?" Wodek, the only knowledgeable person in the group, also spoke up. Although he was an illegitimate son of a noble, he had received some aristocratic education and naturally knew what Boravice was.
In this world where knowledge is monopolized by the nobility, some things that are commonplace to the nobles are secrets to the common people. Some people even regard the stories made up by bards as real history.
Looking at the confused crowd, Arnold explained about Bohrawis and the legendary old man in front of him, Kannepal Tiphon.
A thousand years ago, the people of the Middle Garden Continent knew that they lived on a sphere. Countries on the east and west ends of the continent did not need to pass through the center of the continent. They could communicate across the sea by boat, and thus maritime trade flourished.
During this process, islands such as Boravice, Iceland, the Baltic Islands, Zilaner, and Shaniaso were discovered one after another and colonized and developed.
Taking advantage of this wave of dividends, a powerful human empire emerged in the east and west of the continent, the Western Empire of Atidor and the Eastern Empire of Otredo.
This was the most glorious period of the human race, and many bards sang about that era, but Xia Lan didn't understand what this had to do with Bolavis and Kannepal Tiphon.
Arnold met Xia Lan's gaze and told her what happened afterwards.
Five hundred years ago, the God of Storms fell. Although many gods had fallen before, they all happened in the realm of gods. This time, the body of the God of Storms fell into the Atrium World for some reason.
This was a disaster for the underworld. The sea storm lasted for decades, and the shipping routes were completely cut off, with no connectivity for hundreds of years. As a result, the Western Empire of Atidor disintegrated and the Eastern Empire declined.
Bolavis, which was close to the Storm Sea where the Storm God fell, also disappeared in the disaster. There were rumors that epic and legendary strongmen had found it, but there were no survivors. However, this was never confirmed, and it became a legendary lost land.
Gradually, the conflicts among the countries in the western continent and the decline of the Otredo Empire in the eastern continent made people completely forget the glory of the human race in the Age of Exploration. Although many shipping routes were restored, they could never return to the past.
Until the appearance of Kannepal Tiphon over thirty years ago. He was an earl of the Kingdom of Tisen in the Western Continent. A lover of sailing since childhood, he was determined to find the lost land of Boravice and establish a kingdom on the largest island in the Middle-Arc world...
When he grew up, he gave his title and territory to his younger brother, started as a sailor, formed his own fleet, and began to sail on the sea.
At that time, the seven seas had not yet been fully connected. It was Kannepal Tiphon's fleet that sailed through countless dangerous waters, sketched out one sea map after another, completely conquered the waves of the seven seas, and ushered in the era of maritime frontiers.
Afterwards, with courage and perseverance, he crossed the Baltic Islands and, five hundred years after the Stormfall, once again connected the east and west of the Midgard continent by sea...
His name was brought back to the West Continent and his hometown by wandering bards from the East Continent. The Kingdom of Tisen once again made him an earl...
"No, no..."
Just as he was about to reach the climax, Nord was interrupted by a voice, Kannepal Tiphon, who denied the story. At this time, he burst into tears and muttered:
"It was Catherine, it was Catherine. For her, I conquered the seven seas. For her, I reconnected with the East-West route. And for her, I embarked on the fleet to find Bohravis...
From the mouth of the old man Kannepal Tiphon, Xia Lan and others heard a different story...
