Above the mage!

Chapter 312 Goldbroom Silver Dragon Bird Glorious Colossus
Although we said we came to Holden Town, we actually just saw it.

Holder Town is a small town located at the foot of the Sword Mountains.

Yes, the place where Gode came through astral teleportation, the Sword Mountains of the Plantagenet Dynasty.

In the geography class at Seres College, Instructor Mossen used magic to show everyone the topography of the Nora continent, and the most profound impression that the Plantagenet Dynasty left on God was its geographical advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The overall territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty is not particularly vast in the vast Norland continent, at least it is completely incomparable to the Holy Empire.

Even if we only compare the territorial area of ​​the Holy Empire on the Norland Continent, the territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty is only one-third of the Holy Empire.

——You must know that the Holy Empire’s cavalry legions have already been roaming across the other two continents, constantly expanding their territory.

However, in terms of wealth and resources, the Plantagenet dynasty was in no way inferior to the Holy Empire.

The terrain of this dynasty is like a "river valley plain" magnified countless times.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. In the north is the majestic Erwenlaya Mountains. As the first mountain range, it keeps the bitter and biting blizzards in the north out.

To the east is the Greentooth Mountains, which are like the ferocious fangs of the earth. The sharp peaks are arranged like sawteeth and lie across here like an insurmountable natural moat, blocking potential enemies in the east.

But where the Green Tooth Mountains meet the Ewenlaya Mountains in the north, the middle section and where it meets the southern mountains appear to be split in half by the God of Creation, with a large river running across each.

Through these three rivers, the Plantagenet dynasty was able to maintain contact and trade with many countries in the east. It even used its own strong power to establish three checkpoints and collect high tariffs, which became one of the important sources of wealth for the dynasty.

The southern mountain range is the Sword Mountain Range, which looks like a sword, extending from the land to the Sea of ​​Light, cutting off the landing path for invaders who may come from the Terra continent.

On the south side of the mountain range are cliffs. The surging waves beat against the cliffs, and the splashing white waves look like the flowers of a sword.

The three mountain ranges together were like three Great Walls, which just happened to protect the Plantagenet dynasty firmly in the middle.

They are like loyal guards, protecting this land from generation to generation.

The Plantagenet Dynasty, surrounded by three mountain ranges, owns the most extensive river valley plain on the Norland continent.

If you look down from the sky, this flat and vast plain area is like a huge green velvet carpet, giving birth to countless vitality and prosperity, as if it is a special gift from Mother Earth.

Except for three mountain ranges, the land territory of this dynasty is all river valley plains, and the highest quality grains are grown on the fertile land.

In addition to the three major rivers in the east, there are many rivers in the Iverlayas Mountains in the north and the Sword Mountains in the south. Like silver ribbons, they meander down from the mountain tops and into the river valley plains.

They are intertwined to form the Plantagenet dynasty's extensive river network.

These numerous river tributaries enabled the Plantagenet Dynasty to have developed shipping, powerful commerce, and ample interconnection. They were the economic arteries, continuously transporting wealth and resources to every corner of the dynasty.

At the same time, these rivers are also the basic guarantee for agriculture.

Finally, these rivers converge together into the southern bay of the Plantagenet dynasty - Sword Bay!
Although the first port of Norlan Continent is in Linhai City, when it comes to the scale and ideality of the bay, Jianwan is undoubtedly the undisputed king.

Standing on one of the hills called Riverside Forest and looking down, the knowledge that Gao De learned in geography class became concrete at this moment.

Looking around, the endless plains are vast and boundless, spreading out wantonly and extending infinitely towards the horizon.

Looking from this hilltop, as far as the eye can see, there is nothing blocking the spread of the plain.

Moreover, you have to know that this is the area near the coastline. The inland territory of the Plantagenet dynasty is even more spectacular.

In his previous life, there was a saying that he was competing for the Central Plains. It was probably like looking at Henan from the perspective of Shanxi. It was endless, let alone mountains, even a small slope could hardly be seen.

Such a plain is like a huge magnet, attracting generations of heroes to sound the charge.

No wonder it is said that the Holy Empire has always coveted the Plantagenet dynasty.

This kind of landform is truly unique - in fact, strictly speaking, the plains in the north are even more vast and boundless.

However, the plains in the north are snowfields, and are generally considered to be meaningless plains.

Only land that can be used for farming and growing crops can be called a plain.

The top of the mountain was not high. Walking down the cleared mountain road, it took only over half an hour to reach the gate of Holden Town.

Bud breathed a sigh of relief, visibly.

And Gaode felt for the first time what a dynasty was.

Although this place is nominally just a town, its size and prosperity are several times that of his "birthplace" Hogan City, and more than ten times that of Phoenix. There is no problem at all in calling it a city.

If Goder's previous impression of the Plantagenet dynasty was still based on the introduction, then when he saw Holdentown with his own eyes, he suddenly had a clear understanding of the power and background of the Plantagenet dynasty.

Bard took Gao De with him and excitedly went through the entry procedures for Gao De. At the same time, he did not forget to give Gao De some scientific knowledge:

"It's OK for ordinary people, there aren't too many requirements, but if you're a wizard who comes to the Plantagenet Dynasty for the first time, you generally have to complete the registration procedures. If you neglect this, you might be treated as a spy, so don't think it's too troublesome."

"Of course, this registration is universal. Once you register here, you don't have to go through the same process again when you go to other towns in the future."

Gao De nodded slightly, showing good acceptance - isn't it just like a visa on arrival?

Under Bud's leadership, Gode came to a small house near the entrance of the town.

The cottage is not big and looks ordinary from the outside, but once you walk in, you'll find that the interior is extremely simple.

A few ordinary tables and chairs were arranged neatly. In the corner was a set of utensils that were obviously used to boil water and make tea. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

In the middle of the room, sat a fat middle-aged man in a uniform made of somewhat worn fabric.

At this moment, he was sitting leisurely on a chair, holding a curled book in his left hand, and from time to time he picked up the teacup beside him with his right hand and took a sip of hot tea.

Hearing the sound of Bard and Gold pushing the door open, the fat man slowly put down the book in his hand, raised his eyelids, and slowly moved his gaze over.

He simply ignored Bard and kept looking at Goder.

"Sir, I brought him here to register as a mage." Bud said respectfully.

"Come here." The man nodded, then took out a milky white jade token from a box under the table.

A blooming broom flower is engraved on the top of the jade plaque, and the texture of the petals is clearly visible, as if it will bloom from the jade plaque in the next second.

"What's your name?" The "adult" picked up the feather pen on the table and gently tapped something like a "button" on the table.

Then, some patterns on the ground and walls began to glow.

The light only flashed for a moment, and then a faint wave of magical power appeared in the small room.

Gao De's expression changed slightly, and he understood something instantly.

"The Realm of Honesty".

I have been pulled into the realm of honesty.

But it was not a spell, but a small magic circle, a realm of honesty driven by the magic circle.

"Gao De." He calmed himself down and spoke calmly.

In fact, Gaode was not prepared to lie.

Apart from the fact that it was from the North, the rest was not a secret. "Mage level?" the fat man continued to ask without raising his head while writing on the jade token.

"One ring." Gao De answered truthfully.

Hearing Gao De's answer, the man who was writing looked up at Gao De and said in surprise: "Yes, you look so young, but you have already had one ring."

But that's all.

A first-ring wizard of this age stands out from the crowd in the Principality of Sean.

But in the Plantagenet dynasty, even in an ordinary small town, it was not a rare thing worth making a fuss about.

It is roughly equivalent to beating drums and gongs when a college student appears in the village. It is not surprising that small counties under the jurisdiction of big cities are full of college students.

"Where are you from?" the man continued to ask.

"Prince Xien" Gao De paused, realized that something was wrong, and corrected: "Xien Province of the Holy Empire."

"Oh, it's a bit far from here." He sighed casually.

After saying this, he put down the pen in his hand and placed the jade token into an "alchemy machine" beside him.

The machine had an ancient shape, with runes engraved all over its surface. There was a groove right in the middle, which fitted the outline of the jade token perfectly, as if it were tailor-made.

The man started the machine skillfully, and in an instant, a flash of light appeared, covering the jade plate.

After a while, the light dissipated, and some more patterns appeared on the jade plate.

Then, the jade token was taken out and floated towards Gaode.

"Okay, the material fee is 1 gold. Also, you need to keep the badge safe. If you lose it, you need to get a new one as soon as possible. The material fee is also 1 gold. Otherwise, if you are inspected and can't produce the badge, you will be treated as an illegal intruder."

The fat man instructed skillfully, then stretched out his hand with his palm facing up, the meaning of which was self-evident.

The materials used for this jade token are not simple at first glance, and the processing also involves magical changes.

Therefore, even if there is a small profit from the price of this gold, it is definitely not a rip-off and is completely within an acceptable range.

God thought for a moment, then took out a Sean gold coin from his pocket and handed it over.

"Is this ok?"

The monetary systems of different countries are different, but in most cases, gold coins are universal.

The fat man took the Sean gold coin, stretched out his stubby fingers, took the Sean gold coin steadily, and then took out an object similar to a weight from the box under the table.

This weight-like instrument looks quite old. The copper rust on its surface is mottled green, but it is still polished to a shine, and it can be seen that it is often used.

He raised his hand lightly and threw Sean's gold coin onto the scale. The weight swayed slightly, making a slight creaking sound.

The fat man squinted his eyes and studied it for a moment before he spoke slowly, "The purity is 95%, which meets the standard. The weight is a little off, but not by much, so it's not a big problem."

The fat man did not embarrass Gao De.

"After entering the town, go straight along one street and then turn left to the first shop. There, you can exchange your own coins for ours. It's easier here, but most people in the town only recognize Plantagenet coins." He kindly reminded God.

"I understand. Thanks for the reminder." Gao De thanked.

After leaving the cabin, we entered the town of Holden smoothly without encountering any obstruction at the door.

As soon as you enter the town, the feeling of hustle and bustle hits you like a tide, with people flowing on the streets and houses connected to each other.

In the Principality of Sean, except for a few special buildings, the houses on both sides of the streets that Gode saw were generally two-story, and there were even many low bungalows.

Here, the houses on the roadside are basically three stories high or higher, one next to the other, and the layout of the streets and buildings is even more staggered.

Walk down the first street and arrive at the shop the fat man mentioned.

To call it a shop is actually an understatement.

This is a large building with five floors, which is built in a very grand manner. The gold-plated sign hanging at the door tells Gaode that its full name is "Hold Town Gold Shop".

From the name, you can tell that it should be the official store of Holden Town.

"I'll go in and exchange some coins." Gode said to Bud.

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

As Gao De stepped into the door of the gold shop, a unique smell mixed with paper, ink and metal hit him in the face.

The layout of the Holder Town Gold Bank was surprisingly similar to the bank in his memory before he traveled through time.

What comes into view is a spacious and bright hall. Outside the hall is the waiting area with several rows of neatly arranged wooden benches. Several customers are already sitting on them, chatting in low voices or waiting quietly.

Walking further in, you will see windows one after another, all inlaid with exquisite brass frames and emitting a soft luster.

At each window, there are staff members in uniform dark uniforms sitting upright, busy handling the matters at hand.

As Gao De entered the door, he was greeted by a clerk in dark uniform.

"What do you need?" he asked politely.

"Exchange money."

"Okay, please follow me." The clerk took Gao De to one of the windows that had no customers yet.

Godard handed over all the remaining coins he had, a total of 18 Sean gold coins and 6 clover silver coins.

The coins made a crisp clinking sound on the wooden counter.

The pretty female staff member in charge of reception stretched out her fair and slender hands, collected the coins one by one, and gently placed them on a machine that also looked like a scale.

However, this machine is much more sophisticated than the one the fat man had used before. The metal body is polished to a shine and the scale markings are extremely clear.

Various small and delicate parts flashed the unique cold light of metal in the dim places, probably used for more precise weighing and identification.

On the way here just now, Gode had learned about the monetary system of the Plantagenet dynasty from Bud.

It is still the universal three-level system of "gold coins-silver coins-copper coins", which will not change, and the purchasing power of Plantagenet gold coins is roughly equal to that of Sean gold coins.

It should be said that the purchasing power range of gold coins across the entire continent is roughly equal, so it is said that gold coins are universal in most cases.

The only difference is that the gold coins of the Plantagenet dynasty are called Plantagenet coins. The front side is engraved with a bust of the first monarch of the Plantagenet dynasty, Lister I, and the back side is the national emblem of the Plantagenet dynasty, a blooming plantagenet flower.

The silver coins of the Plantagenet dynasty are called Silver Dragon Coins. On the front is engraved a bust of the ancestor of the Wang Mian family, the most glorious family of the dynasty, and on the back is engraved a silver dragon with its wings spread out, ready to fly, hence the name Silver Dragon Coin.

The copper coin here is called the Copper Stone Coin. It got its name because the front is engraved with the Plantagenet Dynasty's national stone statue, the Glorious Colossus.

What made Gode extremely satisfied was that the monetary system of the Plantagenet dynasty was the touching "10-100" system, rather than the crappy "20-12" system of the Principality of Sean.

That is, in the Plantagenet dynasty, 1 Plantagenet coin = 10 Silver Dragon coins, and 1 Silver Dragon coin = 100 Copper Stone coins.
