Above the mage!

Chapter 145: The Holy Empire Plantagenet Dynasty

"Yes!" Instructor Mossen's expression inexplicably became fanatical, and he exclaimed in a slightly yearning tone: "This area, which occupies almost half of the Nolan Continent, is the territory of the Holy Empire!"

"The Holy Empire is the only empire on this continent and even in the world."

"It has the largest territory and the most powerful force on the Norlan Continent. This is also true even if its vision is not limited to the Norlan Continent, but the entire world."

"Because this huge area you see is not even the entire territory of the Holy Empire."

"The Holy Empire also has its own territories in Terra and Midgard."

"This is the only country with a territory spanning three continents." When talking about the Holy Empire, Mentor Mossen became particularly excited and talked more. "Before it, no country could do it. After it. As far as we can see now, the Holy Empire is still growing. It is almost impossible for it to weaken and perish."

History tells us that there has never been an empire that has not declined and collapsed. Even the British Empire disintegrated. Gao De said secretly.

"The Holy Empire was originally a union of barbarian tribes," said Mentor Mossen in a rhythmic voice. "Several barbarian tribes walked out of the wilderness and came to the civilized area, and then joined forces to occupy an ancient city."

"From the very beginning, as barbarians, they had to face threats from civilized people from all sides, because to the 'civilized people', they were foreign invaders."

According to Gaode's understanding, it might be equivalent to the Mongols leaving the grassland and entering the Central Plains?
"But they were warlike and good at fighting. They fought against all enemies and took revenge. In the end, they won all the wars and gained a firm foothold in the civilized area."

“After gaining a firm foothold, the next step is to continue to expand.”

"This period of history makes the people of the Holy Empire feel proud from the bottom of their hearts, and it is also enough to provide great reference value for the people of other countries."

"It is also because of this period of history that the Holy Empire values ​​talent and strength above all else."

"At the same time, because the barbarian tribes were not good at magic at the beginning, they suffered a lot in the previous battles and sacrificed too many people, so they highly admired and respected the power of magic."

"And they are both wild and open-minded, never conservative, and allow for constant innovation in magic."

"In the eyes of many people in other countries, the Holy Empire is a bloody and cruel country with insatiable greed. They are powerful warmongers because they have never stopped expanding since they left the wilderness."

Teacher Mossen spoke with saliva flying, as if he was full of identification with the Holy Empire, and even yearning for it?

"As you can see, they have grown from an ancient city to a powerful empire with territories spanning three continents."

"But for the people of the Holy Empire, the Empire is the most tolerant and harmonious country."

"Even many people in other countries agree with this, because the social atmosphere of the Holy Empire is extraordinarily tolerant, which is unmatched by any other country."

“It respects the talents and strengths of all people, regardless of origin, social position, family background or even the motherland.

"Some people who disdain or hate the Holy Empire believe that this is because the Holy Empire originated from the lowest barbarian tribe, so they naturally do not value these things."

At this point, Mr. Mossen showed a little disdain, "If you can't do it yourself, then you slander him. This is the bad nature of human beings."

After expressing his disdain, he continued his lecture: "The people of the Holy Empire respect strength above all else, but the strength they respect is not just military force."

"Strength can be expressed in more ways than just force."

"Those who demonstrate outstanding talents in politics, magic, creation, and even trade are also respected by the people of the Holy Empire, because these are also powers that can make the Holy Empire stronger."

"Of course, this is also closely related to the Holy Empire's continuous expansion. A country that continues to expand its territory will always be short of people."

"Since its founding, the Holy Empire has been expanding and conquering all the time."

"However, their conquest did not rely entirely on force. As the Holy Empire became more and more powerful, many countries or regions chose to voluntarily submit to the Holy Empire."

"This is because they see that joining the Holy Empire will make them more stable, safer, and even stronger, and that this country respects talented people."

“In fact, the Holy Empire has always offered such an option to the countries they want to conquer;

Either you pledge allegiance to the Holy Empire and then you will be judged and your status determined solely by your worth, or...”

“Destroyed.”

"Countless examples and a long history have shown that this is not an excuse or a trick."

"The people of the Holy Empire keep their promises, and many people's futures have indeed been greatly improved after they submitted to the Holy Empire."

"Of course, all those who disobeyed the Holy Empire were ruthlessly crushed."

When Master Mossen said this, he was already waving his hands excitedly, like a drumstick beating a war drum:
"Anyone, please note, anyone, as long as they have talent, will definitely be valued in the Holy Empire and gain power, status, respect and wealth!"

"The Empire is the cradle of talent!"

"In the empire, no matter what your background is, as long as you have outstanding talent, you can rise to prominence. One of the three great giants of the Holy Empire today, the Grand Commander of the Empire, Du Adolf, is the best example."

"He was just an orphan who grew up in the slums of a port city by cheating and deceiving. When he was twelve years old, the empire occupied and conquered his port city."

“Then, the miracles began.”

"His talent as a mage was discovered by the commander of the victorious imperial army, who recruited him into the army for training."

"In this way, in the following years, he followed the Empire's legions to participate in countless expansion campaigns, and his footprints spanned three continents. In the process, he continued to grow and climbed the military rank step by step." "Under the Empire's system of meritocracy, he eventually rose from an unknown person to the commander-in-chief of the Empire's Holy Expeditionary Force."

"His surname, Adolf, also became one of the most dazzling surnames in the empire."

"There is no doubt that Du Adolf's current achievements are closely related to his own talents, but they are not separated from the imperial system."

"Du Adolf's miracle cannot happen in any country or region except the Holy Empire!"

"The empire values ​​talent so much that it will even proactively seek out talented mages in order to attract more talent. The search is not only within the empire, but also outside the empire."

"They will contact outstanding mages from other countries, recruit them, train them, make the most of their talents, and use them most efficiently for the empire."

Teacher Mossen swept his eyes across the faces of the students below. "That is to say, if any of you show outstanding talents, you may receive an invitation from the Holy Empire."

"Of course, their definition of excellence is different from ours," Teacher Mossen spread his hands, and his excited emotions calmed down a little. "After all, Sean is just a small principality."

He paused for a moment and drank some water, as if his mouth was dry due to the spitting just now.

Then, Mr. Mossen regained his composure and said slowly: "However, there is nothing new under the sun. Although the Holy Empire has always upheld the political ideal of ruling by the wise and appointing people based on their talents, the older generation of aristocratic families are actually the earliest barbarian tribes, but now they are called aristocrats."

"In short, the older generation of nobles still hold considerable power in the heart of the empire."

“Many people believe that the biggest obstacle to the continued powerful expansion of the Holy Empire does not come from external enemies, but from the conflict between these old blood and new blood.”

This is an inevitable contradiction in any world and in any organization under any system.

After summarizing the problems of the Holy Empire, Mentor Mossen snapped his fingers again, and the light representing the territory of the Holy Empire dimmed.

However, the valley plain area at the southernmost end of the three-dimensional map, which is adjacent to the sea and has a small part of its border adjacent to the Evangelical Mountains, suddenly lit up.

Compared with the territory of the Holy Empire, this area is not that big, less than a quarter of it.

But Gaode understood that since Mossen would place it in the third area for detailed explanation in this lesson, it would definitely not be that simple.

This is indeed the case.

"This area is the territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty."

"The Plantagenet Dynasty is the last dynasty on the Norland Continent."

"This is a powerful and classical dynasty with a glorious heritage and history of outstanding achievements, and it still adheres to the ancient teachings of justice, honor and responsibility."

"They have a long history. Although their territory is not large, their resources are the richest in the entire Norlan Continent."

"The territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty is full of fertile plains and river valleys, and almost everywhere can be used as arable land."

"More than 90% of the area has been fully developed, unlike Sean, where more than half of the territory is uninhabited and dangerous."

"The Plantagenet Dynasty also has the most ideal and standard bay in the entire continent, and built the second largest port in the Norland Continent with it."

"In addition, their border is adjacent to the northern border, so it is very convenient to enter the northern border by crossing the Erwenraya Mountains or taking the sea route."

"For the Plantagenet dynasty, the undeveloped but resource-rich North could become their new frontier at any time, as long as they were prepared."

"However, for this dynasty, these are secondary. What is truly important is that the Plantagenet Dynasty has the most unique specialty in the entire material plane - the Forbidden Magic Stone."

"A magical mineral that can block magic."

"Weapons and armor made of forbidden magic stone are the nemesis of magic."

"With the help of the Forbidden Magic Stone, the Plantagenet Dynasty can always stand on the Norland Continent no matter what. It is also the only country on this continent that can compete with the Holy Empire." When he said this, it was obvious that Teacher Mossen was a little envious.

"As an ancient, self-sufficient dynasty, their rulers and their subjects all regarded the classical teachings of justice, honor, and responsibility as supreme principles."

"This is their strength, but also their weakness." Gao De noticed that when Mentor Mossen mentioned this, he showed a hint of respect.

Could it be that the Plantagenet dynasty’s belief in classics was not just a brainwashing declaration uttered by the rulers, but a belief that was actually adhered to and implemented?
Gao De couldn't help but think.

"Because of the classics, they are conservative and xenophobic. The wizards of the Plantagenet Dynasty are proud of their own traditions and heritage, but at the same time they are isolated from the world and have not integrated into the ever-evolving magic trend. They have always passed on the ancient magic."

"Many people believe that the golden age of the Plantagenet dynasty is over."

"including me."

“Unless it can adapt to the changing times.”

Mr. Mawson gave his final evaluation of the Plantagenet dynasty:

"But obviously, this is an impossible thing for this ancient dynasty."
