The mountain town was not very big. There were only about a hundred households in the town and a population of less than a thousand people. Although the people in the town were puzzled by the visit of the two foreigners, Leo and Sylvia, they

There was not too much conflict, because even though the clothes of the two looked a little weird, they were not something ordinary people could wear. In addition, they spoke different languages, so they were just regarded as foreigners who came to travel.

people.

Although Leo and Sylvia do not have this country's currency, they do have the universal precious metal gold, so they don't need to worry about spending money in the town.

The two stayed in the town for about three months. During these three months, Leo mastered the language of this country through the teachers at the local school and taught it to Sylvia.

At the same time, the two also learned some information about the country and the world they were in now through the books in the school and the small town library.

This is a world that amazes Sylvia, but is very normal to Leo. This world does not have a formal unified name. Basically every country calls this world with different names, but

The most commonly used name is Eta, which is a name left over from a powerful ancient empire and means the land of the gods.

Although the world does not have a unified name, people in this world have reached a very high level in exploring the entire world. For example, people in this world completed a voyage around the world hundreds of years ago and mapped out a complete

The world map, this is where Sylvia was shocked by the world, because the world is a round ball.

You must know that no matter how enlightened the people in the world of Velen are, their understanding of the world is flat. The world is surrounded by endless thick fog. After entering the thick fog, you will fall into the world hidden in the thick fog.

Endless abyss.

They can't imagine that the world is a sphere. Just like after Sylvia learned about the geography of the world, the most common question she asked was, wouldn't the people living under the sphere fall?

Although Leo used scientific rhetoric such as gravity to explain why people live on the surface of a sphere and will not fall, it is obvious that deep-rooted thoughts and a lack of basic common sense prevented Sylvia from understanding Leo at all.

In the end, Leo could only explain it by saying that there is a power in this world that transcends gods and binds people to the surface of the earth. This made Sylvia quickly accept the idea that people can live on the surface of the sphere.

Know.

Just like the world of Velen, this world also experienced an Age of Discovery hundreds of years ago, which was also the age of geographical discovery in this world. Almost all current geographical knowledge was discovered at that time.

For example, this world has two continents, one is the New Continent, and the other is the Old Road. Each continent is very huge. Sailing along the coastline of the Old Continent, it would take six years to circle around it at the fastest speed, while the New Continent is even bigger.

It would take less than ten years to complete a circle.

The other two continents are not connected, and there are many islands in the middle. These islands allow people from the old road to migrate to the new continent. Otherwise, according to normal navigation, even the fastest ship will take about five years.

, we can sail to the New World from the old road. If there are no islands in the middle for supplies, we will not be able to reach it at all.

From this point of view, the area of ​​this world is probably much larger than the world of Velen surrounded by fog.

Perhaps because the world is much larger than the world of Velen, Sylvia was shocked by the number of countries in this world. According to statistics, there are more than 5,000 countries that have joined the New World Covenant and the Old Road Covenant.

Not counting those island countries, there are also many countries deep in the mainland that do not like to contact outsiders, so it is estimated that the total number of countries in the world may reach more than 6,000.

The country where Leo and Sylvia are located is a small inland mountain country in the New World. It has more than thirty provinces in total, each province is divided into more than a dozen urban areas, and has a population of tens of millions. If

In the world of Velen, it is already a very powerful country, but in this world it is not even ranked among the top thousand in the New World.

Almost all the countries in the New World were founded by people who had migrated here from the Old Road over the past few hundred years. Ever since the explorers of the Great Discovery discovered the New World, a large number of people who had escaped the wars of the Old Road had moved to the New World.

The first settlers had some conflicts over land, but later they found that the land in the New World was so large that they could not fully occupy it in their lifetime, so they stopped the dispute. If those from the Old World were willing to

Once you settle down at the landing site, you can settle down and join the country established at the landing site. If you don't want to, you can also leave, go deep into the mainland, find an unowned land, and build a country by yourself.

In this way, over hundreds of years, the number of countries in the New World continued to grow like mushrooms after a spring rain, and soon surpassed the Old World, reaching more than 3,000. But even so, the people here still did not even explore half of the continent's area.

No, the center of the continent is still blank on the map, just like the blank areas in the center of the old continent.

Although this world has a large population and endless resources, the level of science and technology and civilization in this world are not much higher than those in the world of Velen. The civilization of this world is still based on the three systems of monarchy, democracy and empire. Parliament

The system is an auxiliary to the three core systems, and no more advanced political system has emerged.

For example, the country the two of them live in is a constitutional monarchy, somewhat similar to the former United Kingdom of France.

As for the level of technology, this world also has mechanical devices such as trains, but they are not driven by steam, but by firepower generated by gas.

Because of the different world environment, the trees in this world will not decay quickly after death like the Velen world. In just one or two months, they will turn into rot and completely integrate into the earth. The trees in this world will take a long time to

Completely decompose, and in the process of decomposition, most of the rotten trees will become fossilized, and only a few of the rotten trees will turn into charcoal mud.

I don’t know why the fossils and charcoal mud turned from the trees cannot be burned directly, but if they are soaked in water made with a special formula, a gas that can be easily burned will be produced, and this gas is this

The source of power for all mechanical devices in the world.

Although the mechanical devices in this world use gas with higher energy efficiency, due to the environmental limitations of this world, the mechanical devices made in this world using gas are far from comparable to the vinylon world in terms of energy efficiency output.

For example, Leo can use a steam engine to create a war fortress in the Velen world that is as big as a hill and can move freely. However, based on the energy efficiency of the gas generated in this world and the operating efficiency of the machinery itself, even if the war fortress is

Even if it is reduced to one-tenth, it cannot be run by a gas engine, so the civilian mechanical devices in this world are very ordinary.

Compared with ordinary civilian mechanical devices, this world may have a large number of wars, so the weapons and equipment are far beyond those in the Velen world.

The mainstream weapons in this world are gunpowder weapons. Unlike the vinylon world, the gunpowder explosion in this world is very stable and does not require the use of special substances as stabilizers. Therefore, the gunpowder firearms in this world are very developed, including not only pistols, rifles, but also

There are special firearms such as revolving machine guns and sniper rifles.

In addition, this world has produced medium-sized weapons such as chariots and tanks, all of which are equipped with large artillery. In addition, warships are also equipped with various types of artillery. If such a warship is placed in the Velen world, perhaps one warship will be enough.

Match a fleet.

However, compared with the vast and diverse types of weapons on sea and land, the air weapons in this world are completely blank. In the world of Velen, there are air weapons such as airships, but in this world, there are no air weapons at all.

This world has made flying devices in the past, but after countless experiments, they found that except for birds and other creatures that are born with the ability to fly, no man-made flying device can fly into the air. Even if it can fly with a powerful gas engine,

It will also fall down quickly, as if this world has an invisible force that limits people's exploration of the sky.

Compared to such things as technology, civilization, etc., Leo and Sylvia are more concerned about the history and religion of various countries in the world.

It's a pity that there are too many countries in this world. Each country has its own national history and world history, and the history recorded in each country is different. Except for scholars who specialize in history in universities in various countries, ordinary people are not familiar with the history.

I also have only a limited understanding of history, and the books are devoid of any reference.

The same situation also applies to religions. There are even more religions in this world than there are countries in the world. Unless they are scholars who specialize in religious studies, ordinary people only know about their own country’s national religion and the churches around them.

For example, the country where the two of them are now has a church called Gata as the state religion. This Gata is said to be a god related to death and decay, and is in charge of the death of this country. Although the Gata Church is this

It is the state religion of the country, but there are several churches of other gods that also have some fixed parishes here, and of course the church of evil gods is also indispensable.

However, unlike the world of Velen, the Evil God Church in this world will not encounter such strong suppression. They are even allowed to have their own missionary sites, but they must be supervised by the government and the local state religion. Only the Evil God Church will cause any big troubles.

Matters such as human sacrifice will be suppressed by the government, and the reason for the suppression is not religious reasons, but the use of government laws to arrest, interrogate, sentence, etc.

Leo and Sylvia don't know whether there is extraordinary power in this world, because all the materials that record extraordinary power are church myths and folklore. According to Leo's estimation of the energy structure of this world, those church myths and

Logically speaking, the power described in folklore cannot be exerted normally unless the world has a unique method suitable for this world.

After a preliminary understanding of the world, both Leo and Sylvia decided to leave this town and this country, and go to another country, the Ott Federation, to see if they could find a suitable place for Sylvia to break through.

The reason why the two of them have no intention of staying here is because this country is too stable. From the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China to now, more than two hundred years have passed, and no major events worthy of attention have happened in the entire country. The political situation is stable, and the situation is stable.

This environment also makes the people here have a comfortable temperament and don't care about all the things in the outside world. It is impossible to collect enough information here.

Another more important point is that although the two of them did not find any traces of extraordinary power here, they could feel that the rotten smell of dead fish surrounding them was increasing, as if there was an unknown existence paying attention to them.

Considering the divine power of Gata, the national religion of this country, the two of them had reason to believe that they should have been targeted by Gata, but this Gata did not take action against them due to some scruples or other reasons.

Although Leo and Sylvia don't know how powerful this god Gata is, whether he is a real god, a demigod, or an extraordinary creature with some extraordinary power, their current condition is not very good.

, until they find a way to fully exert their power, they are not suitable to conflict with the unknown existence of this world.

That's why they decided to leave the country immediately and go to the Ot Federation, a country that was a bit far away for the locals.

Leo did not choose the Ultra Federation randomly. He felt that the Ultra Federation was suitable for them after careful consideration.

First of all, the Ott Federation is a very large country. This size is not just about its land area, but also its national strength. Ranking based on the total strength, the Ott Federation is strong enough to rank among the top ten countries in the New World.

In addition, the Ot Federation is one of the few anti-church countries in the world. Although they do not prohibit some churches from preaching in their own countries, they have very strict control over these churches, and power such as appointments and dismissals, finances, and personnel are all in the hands of the federal government.

, members of the church only have the right to preach, so the Ot Federation has not established a state church, so the trouble the two of them are encountering now may not be encountered there.

The last point is that the Ot Federation was the only country in the entire New World that had a religious war. According to records, more than thirty churches launched a war there that only lasted a month, but the casualties were huge.

There are millions of people, and the specific reason is unknown. In the eyes of Leo and Sylvia, this war is definitely not about land, religious rights and believers. It is more like fighting for something, so Ott
Chapter completed!
