Magic Tower Starry Sky

The experience of sailing boats on the sea is definitely not comfortable. This is still a weather with no big waves and no heavy rain. If there were some wind and waves at random, no one would know how dizzy he would be. It is said that the four horses brought on board are all more adaptable than a certain person.

Fortunately, this journey at sea was not long. In just over a day, the boat saw the mouth of the Po River and sailed in smoothly. According to the captain, in the early days of his voyage, there were many water pirates here on the Po River, mainly the troops of the Murloc Kingdom.

Since a king-level sea monster came nearby, it was a great white whale. Being able to go to the sky, knowing magic, and biting the murlocs is crunchy and delicious, which makes the murlocs calm down. Without the murlocs as the main force, it is difficult for human water pirates to fish in troubled waters, and they will soon decline, and a new golden age will be ushered in here.

On the contrary, the people of Vader's military kingdom wanted to extend the territory here, and also built a city. It's a pity that the city couldn't be built, and it was destroyed by the white whale king. This happened several times, and the people of the military country gave up the idea of ​​building a city here and guarding the mouth of the sea. It is possible to establish a powerful military force of an empire on land, but it is no different from meeting an overlord in the sea.

And the reason why someone chooses the water route instead of continuing to take the land route is because although the concept of territory in the military country is very old-fashioned, outsiders without household registration can directly equate with criminals. But the Po River is one of the most important economic lifelines of the military country, and the cities along the river prosper because of commerce and trade, so they are more tolerant towards outsiders.

On the one hand, it is also because the cities along the river rarely have a single person in power. Most of the aristocratic lords in the neighboring territories jointly funded the establishment of the river port city for the convenience of commerce and trade. Under this kind of collegial system, the nobles did not dare to go too far, so they could only use gentle means to win more supporters for themselves.

However, the reason why they didn't dare to go too far when encountering things was that the military-state self-proclaimed warrior nation, how could it not consider using the simplest violent means to deal with it. The reason is that the control of the empire's central government over various places has become a very important key.

To put it simply, if there is no reason to convince the central government of the empire, even if the neighbors are beaten to the point of not being recognized, the territory and various interests will be encroached on ten percent. There is a sentence in the middle: If you go back, you have to spit out everything you ate, otherwise it will be your mother's turn not to recognize me this time. It is the most basic duty of military nobles to have the obligation to protect the fiefdoms of their subjects.

It is this kind of attitude that keeps the appearance of peace within Vader's military kingdom, and the nobles are amiable. As for privately, of course, various methods are used to beat people's brains into dog brains. Even if he suffers a big loss, he can only grit his teeth and stand upright.

This is especially true in the river port cities along the Po River. The aristocratic lords who jointly manage, keep the most original share to talk about things. This is registered in the central government of the empire, and it can't be bought and sold if you want to buy or sell. If you want to expand your influence, it is only possible to win the support of more people.

It was this rule established a hundred years ago that caused some old-fashioned traditional forces within the military country to ridicule that the country should be called a "merchant country" instead of a "military country". When encountering a situation, instead of relying on fists to decide the outcome, relying on words alone, this is not a martial nation.

In fact, for someone, after reading the history of his hometown and the expositions of a bunch of bricks, he can probably understand the helplessness of the Emperor of the Vader Empire. From one or two hundred years ago, the large-scale wars in Midi gradually subsided, except for the northeastern continent, there were only small-scale border conflicts left in other places.

Without external pressure, if internal disputes are allowed to use force to resolve disputes, sooner or later it will turn into a large-scale civil war. Casualties in the civil war are secondary to the helm of the empire. The most important thing is that if the country's weakness causes external covetousness, it may turn into a time-consuming, life-and-death battle.

The conflict between the lords near the golden waterway and inland can be felt even by an outsider who only gets news from the forum. To some, Vader's military kingdom is like a pressure cooker with its lid on, on the verge of change. Either it explodes and blows everyone to the sky, or it changes smoothly and everyone is happy.

And this situation has also affected the evaluation of this military emperor: "the most incompetent emperor in history", "a coward who doesn't know how to fight", "a coward wearing an emperor's crown". All kinds of undisguised vicious criticisms are sprayed on the face of an imperial emperor, and one can know how fierce the nobles of this country are, and how soft the old emperor is.

Being able to cover the cover, dare to cover the cover, and not afraid of the moment the cover pops open, you will be in a situation where you will be smashed to pieces; instead of choosing to stand on one side and have a hearty tearing battle. Such a person is not considered wise, and Lin does not know what kind of person can be considered wise.

However, after being sprayed bloody, the emperor still had to grit his teeth and sit down. This kind of helplessness is no wonder that someone keeps power at a respectful distance.

In the first river port city on the golden waterway of the Po River, everyone is going to change boats here. For everyone, sailing boats are not very comfortable to sit on. On the other hand, sailing boats are not very popular in inland rivers.

Shallow draft, less cargo capacity, and more manpower required are commercial disadvantages. Although the paddle boat is flexible, it will occupy a relatively large area on the river, which is a practical disadvantage. And because sailing boats are flexible and have sufficient manpower, most of the people who use this kind of boats have some ulterior behaviors, such as water piracy and smuggling, so they are not welcome.

Having said all of this, no matter how stupid a person is, he should understand something. So Lin paid the boat fee generously and stayed in this river port city to wait.

Also left behind were Uzov and his companions. It seems that this group of people is determined. But they are not like those four dwarves, they eat for nothing; they just "coincidentally" travel together, "coincidentally" live together, and "coincidentally" share the same table. For so many 'coincidences', someone is speechless.

But with such a group of people around, travel is much more convenient. Almost all of them are citizens of Vader's military kingdom, and several of them are even descendants of nobles. With such an identity, in the cities along the golden waterway, it is more or less courteous. They also have access to who to contact and what to do in each city.

At least they know that on the golden waterway, there are special passenger ships running back and forth, with different levels of comfort. It doesn't matter if you want to buy a ticket for a first-class cabin on a big ship, and at the same time you have a lot of belongings with you. If you find the right way, you have nowhere to spend your money. You can only squeeze into a big cabin with ordinary people. Fortunately, these troubles, there are people to help deal with.

Because there are not many luxury ships and the sailing schedule is limited, the nearest ship has to wait for several days. But someone didn't hurry, so he stayed in the first river port city encountered on this golden waterway, and had a look at the real bustling area of ​​the Lost World.

The river port city closest to the mouth of the Po River is the most special of all the cities on the Golden Waterway. Unlike other cities established by the nobles of Vader's military kingdom, this is a river port city built around the magic tower.

This place used to be the frontline of the human race against the murloc kingdom. The three-story tower is not the highest level in the sequence of magic towers, but this tower seems to focus all skill points on water-related magic, with various manipulations, attacks, and temperature changes. For hundreds of years, the murlocs have been unable to cross the threshold.

The timid murlocs call this place "Jasfan", which means "Lord of Water" in the murloc language. This name also replaced the original name of the magic tower, and it is well known by everyone. When gathered here, the people who accepted asylum established towns and ports, and 'Jasfan' also became the name of this town, which is still in use today.

Because the magic tower cannot become private property and be inherited, Jasfan Tower has become the most important magic tower in the Portolan District of the Magicians Association, second only to the branch headquarters~www.NovelMTL.com~Because it manages a river port city, the tower The Lord doesn't need to do anything, just collecting taxes can keep his magic research from lacking.

However, because this place is quite special, although the successor of the magic tower is appointed by the association, Jasvan's city council has the right to veto it. If a magician is rejected by the city council, the association can only choose another suitable person. But the city council also has such power over the successor after the death of the original tower owner, and they do not have the power to expel the tower owner.

...not realistically. Within the attack range of the magic tower, provoking the tower owner is definitely a sign of being tired. When a magician is mad, he doesn't worry about how many people he kills, not to mention that the magic tower is a fortress weapon specially used to kill a large number of people.

The region agrees to the power of the successor of the tower master, and Jasfan is not the only one. Any magic tower built in the capital, be it the king or the emperor, of course would not allow magicians from hostile or unfriendly forces to enter, it would be no different from exposing one's weaknesses to the enemy.

So generally speaking, the successor who can inherit the magic tower in the city has something to do with the local area, or even a direct-line magician cultivated by certain countries. The advantage of this is that the city can continue its original vitality, and it won't be messed up as soon as it becomes the tower owner because of the arrival of a magician who doesn't understand anything, and the good situation will be distorted.

It is also because of this succession requirement that a large number of magicians who want to kill the current tower owner and then settle in Jasfan Tower gather here. Whether it is living or being employed by a powerful local organization, establish your own reputation and credibility. Such a special atmosphere has become a peculiar landscape of this type of city.
