Chapter 0007 The Ocean of Knowledge

Putting on the mage robe and pinning the mage badge, Li Xunshun stayed at the Pearl Tears Hotel in the northern suburbs of Dascal City.

After sending the waiter away, Li Xun looked at the room and nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that the time was still early, he didn't stop and called a carriage directly and went straight to the city-state council hall.

Sir Edward, a shrewd and capable middle-aged man with a mustache, warmly received Li Xun, who was ushered in by the guards. First, he thanked Master Li Xun for choosing to become a principality contract mage, then read out the basic treatment of the principality contract mage, and finally began to consult Master Li Xun for his opinion on whether he was willing to accept a fief in the principality. Li Xun thought about it again and again, but politely refused, but said that if the principality needed the help of a mage, he was willing to provide spell support, especially in exterminating the bandits.

Sir Edward was surprised, but he was more surprised. Although the principality already has hundreds of contract mages, most of them are low-level mages, and they are not controlled at all in peacetime, as long as the principality does not have a large-scale foreign war forced call-up, and is not willing to spend time participating in the internal security and bandit battles, now there is actually a level 4 mage who has expressed his willingness to participate, which will definitely greatly alleviate the generals' complaints about the mage.

With this catalyst, Sir Edward's enthusiasm increased a little, and he said that he would definitely fight for better treatment for Master Li Xun. Li Xun left Sir Edward's address at the Pearl Tears Hotel, took the bronze medal of the contract mage, and went directly to the library under the guidance of the guards.

After going around for nearly a day, he finally achieved his goal, standing in front of the large round arch of the library, Li Xun couldn't help but sigh. The city-state library is exclusive to nobles, and it has collected nearly 1,000 books of all kinds, which are usually only available to nobles, mages, and scholars, and civilians don't want to step into it. What I am most afraid of now is making mistakes, and the only thing that can guide me is books.

Li Xun entered the library under the guidance of the guards, and after showing his bronze medal of contract mage, he could read the books inside at will. Li Xun did not choose mage books, but went straight to history books, and chose a bunch of books on the general history of the mainland, famous travelogues, and general history of the Kingdom of Novis, and asked the guards to send copies of the selected books to his room in the hotel. After paying the 10 gold coins for borrowing books, Li Xun can already lie on the comfortable sofa of the hotel, enjoying the special food while nibbling on the history books.

Li Xun has such a hard spirit, he didn't go out for 10 days, and finally read most of the general history of the mainland and the general history of the kingdom, and had a preliminary understanding of the place where he was. The more you know, the more your identity as an outsider will fade, and the sense of alienation between yourself and this world will slowly dissipate, Li Xun believes that he will become a member of this world, and a very important member.

Closing the heavy book in his hand, Li Xun closed his eyes, slowly combing through the knowledge of the past 7 days in his mind, and gradually, a real Klein Continent appeared in front of him.

Klein is a magical world full of magic and monsters, and magic plays a very important role in the world, affecting every corner of society and industry. Relying on the power of magic, the continent of Klein is filled with towering castles, and horse-drawn carriages powered by elemental power roam the streets. Magic has brought infinite convenience to people, magic is the source of industrial development, and magic is the spark of invention and creation.

In the year 894 of Klein Calendar, King Geralt, the last king of Caliphas, died. With his death, the kingdom of Galifa fell apart in a civil war ignited by Geralt's descendants for control of the decaying kingdom. This terrible catastrophe became known as the "End War."

It lasted for a century and ended with the Treaty of the Throne, signed unanimously by the twelve states. They are: Orvendale, Breland, Dagon, Eltien States, Karnas, Duchy of Novis, Morohled, Chibayra, Taranta Plains, Sereen, Vionor, and Hilarg. Other regions have also taken shape in the war, including Drum, the Shadowlands, the Demon Wastes, and Morad, the realm of sorrow. These various countries and regions were either divided or annexed, and eventually formed the current Klein Continent.

The Duchy of Novis is located at the northern end of the Klein Continent, and the Grand Duke of Novis is centered on the capital Pilbont, ruling 17 cities and surrounding areas, and in terms of strength alone, it is the last of the major national polities in the Klein Continent, only stronger than the Kingdom of Thrayne. With the passage of time, the 12 major countries of the Klein Continent have either had a strong mage power and occupied the right to speak; or the divine power is strong, and it has become a religious state; Or the country is invaded by evil forces and is facing the danger of disintegration.

It's chaotic, it's really messy, Li Xun sighed that it's really delusional to find a pure land without crisis in the world. Kibayra, Dagon, and Breland are currently in power in the Mage's Guild; Auvendale, Karnas, Vionor, and Hilarg are religious states; The Eltien states and Sereine are commercial nations; The Plains of Taranta is a land of mercenaries; There has been a large-scale undead natural disaster in Morohed, and it is currently on the verge of extinction; The Duchy of Novis is located in the north, blocked by the towering mountains of Aveli, and can barely maintain the ancient state system, but the mage guild and various religions in the territory have also appeared, and the future is still unclear.

As for the attitude of the entire continent towards necromancy, it is still very resolute, with the experience of Moroel Head, the major countries have strictly banned necromancy in their territories, strangled necromancers, and even brought many dark mages to be hit; Only the 3 kingdoms ruled by the Mage Guild are relatively relaxed, and still list necromancers as a branch of mages, but only restrict the spread of necromancer, and do not exterminate all necromancers; And the paradise of the necromancer is the country of Moroorhead and the Taranta Plains, one has basically become the base camp of the necromancer, and the other is a country of mercenaries, as long as the necromancer does not have a major destruction action in the territory, he can enter and exit freely.

Since Moroorhead is the closest to the Duchy of Novis, if it weren't for the mountains of Aveli, maybe the undead of the necromancer would have spread to the territory of the Duchy of Novis. In this regard, Li Xun specifically learned about the necromancers in Lower Moruolhead, and it seems that they have very strong signs of establishing a country, and are eager to get rid of the mage guild and become a real undead country. Their leader is 5 legendary lichs, forming a council of the undead, controlling nearly seventy percent of the territory of Moroorhead, the royal family of Moroorhead was compressed to that small area in the south, barely relying on the terrain of Lake Sivis and Tutarion Forest to establish a defensive line, the messengers for help rushed in all directions, and each ** force basically received a request for help. It is rumored that a joint meeting of the Morohrd Necromancer Group is about to be held in Standwick, the capital of the Eltien States, to discuss the next steps.

Seeing that there were actually 5 legendary lichs in Moroorhead, Li Xun stuck out his tongue, that is a fierce man above level 20, there are as many as 5, on the other hand, the Duchy of Novis, I only heard that there is a 22-level star legendary mage Katieni enshrined next to the Grand Duke of Novis, and the mage guild also has a legendary mage level 21 blue star Serena resident in the capital of the Duchy of Novis. Now Li Xun is no longer a meat head who doesn't know anything, and from the books, he learned that the basic division of the mage level of the Klein Continent:

Mage: Level 1-5 low-level mage controls level 1-2 spells, level 6-10 intermediate mage, up to level 5 spells, level 11-15 high-level mage, up to level 7 spells, level 16-19** division, up to level 9 spells, level 20 saint-level mages can cast quasi-legendary spells, level 21-25 legendary mages have personal legendary spells, level 26-29 demigod mages have field power, level 30 or above, and other professions are similar, most of them are divided by level 5 and a class, of course, the class may be the same, But the combat power is very different. With the same high-level profession, a high-level mage can kill a group of high-level knights and high-level assassins with a level 7 group injury spell, but a high-level assassin can kill a group of high-level knights and high-level mages one by one without injury in the right environment, and a prepared high-level knight can fight a group of high-level assassins head-on. Therefore, there is no necessarily strong profession, only useful skills and techniques, and the flexible use of what you have is the true essence of the profession!

The more he learned about the mainland form, the more Li Xun felt that there was a lot to do, and it was really suitable for him to gain a foothold in Novis. The world is in turmoil, and attention is focused on the necromancer dynamics of Moroorhead, and the Duchy of Novis is the closest to Moroorhead, so it will inevitably devote its main energy to the border area of the Aveli Mountains in the south. The city of Dascal, where he is located, is in the north of the Duchy of Novis, more than 2,000 miles away from the capital Pyrbont, and the royal power, the power of the mage guild and the religious power are very weak, but it is also suitable for planting a flag to rebel!

Li Xun rubbed his smooth chin and smiled evilly. The idea of defecting to the forces of the Morol Hed necromancer, Li Xun would never have. His peculiarity is that he can't cover it in the undead, and if he doesn't do it, he will become the real object of those 5 legendary liches. However, it is not impossible to disguise yourself as the periphery of the necromancer's forces on appropriate occasions, and it is certainly better to be able to be left and right!

The determination made in Yongwang Town did not waver, after all, Li Xun was only a 17-year-old young man, let him wantonly slaughter hundreds of innocent human beings as his stepping stone, he really couldn't do it, even if he just waved his hand, every qiē was handled by the skeleton warriors, he couldn't do it. Li Xun's soul carries the heroic invincible cemetery family, but he still has a human heart!
