Above the mage!

Chapter 144 Northern Territory
"Nolan Continental Geography and War Geography" is a branch course under the compulsory course "Basic Cultural Course".

This course will be offered four sessions in total during the academic year.

Gaode signed up for the first course taught by instructor Mossen.

Classes are held in the afternoon on the 2nd day of the three months of Frost Gold Moon, Fog Frost Moon, and Ice Moon.

The classroom for this course is very large.

One reason is that this course has always been one of the famous "water courses" in the college, with a large number of students in each session, so more seats are needed.

The course content of "Nolan Continental Geography and War Geography" is relatively simple, and the examinations are easy to pass, but you can get up to two credits.

Almost all students will take this course in a certain year.

Some students who are short of credits even regard this course as their "insurance":
If you don't have 10 credits in a year, just take this course and get through the year with these two precious credits.

The second is that as a "geography class", although it is an indoor course, in order to make the teaching more intuitive, it is necessary to equip it with a sand table to simulate the terrain.

Each student is equipped with a sand table as standard, and each sand table occupies several square meters, so the required classroom area is naturally larger.

Gao De entered the classroom half a quarter before the class started.

At this time, there were already quite a few students in the classroom.

The class time alone can distinguish students with different personalities.

Some people like to arrive in the classroom early, some like to arrive a little earlier, some like to arrive on time, and a very small number of people like to be late.

Gaode is one of those colleges that likes to arrive at the classroom a little earlier.

There is no need to arrive too early as it is a waste of time. Arriving on time is not safe as you may end up being late if you are not careful.

Being late is considered bad behavior by Gaode.

Sure enough, after Gaode, more than a dozen students came one after another.

Of course, without exception, they are all old students.

Gaode is the only "first-year" student here.

——The other freshmen are still mining at the foot of the Coolie Cliff.

At the exact time, a thin old man with curly brown hair and wearing a robe with the college emblem on it walked in from the main entrance holding a roll of parchment.

The thin old man is their instructor, Mr. Mossen.

As soon as Teacher Mossen entered the classroom, the slight whispers that had been existing in the classroom suddenly disappeared and the room became quiet.

Without introducing himself, Professor Mossen went straight to the point as soon as he entered the classroom.

At the front of the classroom is a very large whiteboard.

But the strange thing is that the whiteboard is not hung up, but laid flat with a platform underneath to support it.

At least when Gaode saw this whiteboard for the first time, he couldn't imagine what it was used for.

However, his doubts have now been answered.

Teacher Mossen stood in front of the whiteboard, raised one hand, and danced his fingers gently.

A subtle magical fluctuation immediately filled the air.

Guided by his gestures, a light gradually emerged on the huge white board.

A three-dimensional map model began to condense in the light.

"Nolan Continent is the name of the continent where the land beneath our feet is located." As soon as the map took shape, Teacher Mossen began to talk to himself.

"If you look down from the sky, the Norlan Continent is an irregular pentagon, similar to a bird spreading its wings ready to fly, long but narrow at the bottom, and short but wide at the top."

"As an aside, this world is not just the Nolan Continent. There is another continent below and to the right of Nolan Continent, namely Terra Continent and Midgard Continent."

"The three continents together make up the territory of our world." "Of course, the Nolan Continent ranks first among the three continents in terms of both area and comprehensive strength."

"Okay, now let's get back to the topic."

Professor Mossen only mentioned the other two continents. After all, the name of this course is: Nolan Continental Geography and War Geography.

Then he made a spinning gesture.

In the three-dimensional map model condensed by light, the white area at the top began to highlight and became extremely conspicuous.

What an advanced teaching method.

Looking at this type of 3D projection three-dimensional map, Gaode sighed secretly.

Spells can sometimes do even better than technology.

"This area is the northernmost region of the Norlan Continent. We call it the Northland."

"The North is the land of ice and snow storms. The environment is extremely harsh, with severe cold all year round and constant ice and snow storms."

"The land in the north is called the permafrost tundra, where it is almost impossible to grow food."

"So the humans living on this land are all hunter-gatherers who make a living by hunting."

Mentor Mossen snapped his fingers, marking the edge of the northern region with a bright red light.

"The edge of the northern border is the Erwenlaya Mountains, which is the highest mountain range in the Norlan continent, with an average altitude of more than 8,000 meters."

"It is this mountain range that isolates the ice and snow storms in the north, making the two sides of the Erwin Raya Mountains present completely different landforms and climates."

"It is also because of the existence of the Erwenraya Mountains that, although the northern region and our southern region belong to the same Norlan continent, there is almost no communication between the two sides, just like an independent continent."

"Of course, if you want to enter the north, there is more than just crossing the Erwenraya Mountains." Mossen drew a line in the air, and soon two blue lines appeared on the outskirts of Nolan Continent on the map.

"It is a more reasonable choice to enter the North by sea."

"However, due to the internal disputes in the early days and the fact that they are located on the border, the people of the northern border do not like to interact with the outside world and are extremely hostile to foreigners."

"In addition, due to the characteristics of nomadic peoples, they need to migrate with the change of seasons and the migration of prey. They live a mobile life and have no fixed settlements. Therefore, there are no large ports in the North."

"Due to these restrictions, there has been very little communication between the outside world and the North. Only occasionally some mages will form a team and take a ship to the North."

"Because of its isolation and environment, the North has many high-level magical plants and underground biological resources that are hard to see in the outside world. It can be said to be a treasure land that has never been developed."

Mentor Mossen explained: "These wizards ventured into the North for this reason."

"In addition, the Vikings in the north will also take their own wolf ships to the south to plunder and plunder resources when the ports thaw in the summer."

"However, this is something that the countries along the coastline have to worry about. It has nothing to do with our Principality of Sean." Teacher Mossen spread his hands and simply ended his introduction to the North.

The light in the northern area on the three-dimensional map also dimmed.

Then the eastern area of ​​the map lit up.

This time, the lit area was so large that it almost occupied half of the remaining territory of Nolan Continent except the north.

At this time, Instructor Mossen paused for a moment, waiting for the students to remember all of this area. After they had a general impression, he asked, "Do you know what this area is?"

Could it be "Eastern Wasteland"? This slightly naughty thought subconsciously popped up in Gao De's mind.

According to the classic settings in previous online novels, the corresponding regions to the North should be "Eastern Wilderness", "Western Desert" and "Southern Sea".

Some students have raised their hands.

He is a student of aristocratic origin.

For them, they already knew this knowledge and did not need to acquire it from class. Naturally, they were able to answer Professor Mossen's questions at this moment.

At the signal from Teacher Mossen, the student who raised his hand revealed the answer: "This is the territory of the Holy Empire."
