The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

The Strait of Gibraltar, guarding the gateway to the Mediterranean, had a strategic position that was not obvious in the past. However, since the new world was discovered and new shipping routes were opened, its special status and importance have become more and more prominent. It has become a key position.

, has also become a vital gateway.

In order to protect their dominant position in Mediterranean trade, in order to protect their Suez Canal trade, and in order to prevent various commodities from the New World from overly impacting the already stable and orderly Mediterranean trade circle, the Tang Dynasty sent a detachment a few years ago.

The fleet brought hundreds of warships to intimidate the Kingdom of Castile. They robbed and forced the Kingdom of Castile to formally cede Gibraltar!

Facing the Tang Dynasty, which had despairing naval strength and equally strong army strength, the Kingdom of Castile faced the Tang Dynasty who came to "camp to accuse" them of obstructing normal trade rules and thus seized Gibraltar. For this reason, Castile

Even though Tyr was filled with righteous indignation,

However, they were also afraid of the absolute dominance of the Tang people and the religious pressure. In desperation, in accordance with the wishes of the Tang people, a treaty was signed to formally cede the territory of Gibraltar. At this point, Gibraltar became the territory of the Tang people and became the smallest province of the Tang people.

.

After acquiring Gibraltar, the Tang Dynasty carried out extensive construction and infrastructure projects here. Moreover, they built a military fortress with complete facilities and powerful firepower. They completely turned the small Gibraltar into a fortress and built a port city in Gibraltar. A five-man army was stationed there all year round.

Thousands of troops guard the Fortress of Gibraltar. An anti-smuggling fleet is also stationed at the military port berth to patrol any ships entering the Mediterranean and inspect their cargo.

Because of the relationship between Mediterranean trade, the Tang Dynasty unilaterally enforced the "Anti-Dumping Act" on the grounds that cheap goods from the New World should not be used to excessively impact normal trade exchanges. In fact, the most fundamental purpose is to protect its own trade dominance and

Commodity pricing power on the Mediterranean!

Every year, ships that are allowed to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar have a quota for the goods they can carry. If the quota is exceeded, they will face additional taxes. For this reason, Tang people’s explanation is to protect normal trade exchanges and oppose any illegal

Anti-dumping trade! Because at the beginning, the Tang people did not prematurely participate in the great voyages and colonization of the New World like other European countries. Their main trade and exchanges were still East-West trade!

That is, through the convenience of the Suez Canal, continuous back-and-forth trade is carried out from India, China, Persia, the Spice Islands and even Japan. Goods produced in the East are transported back to the West, and because of its strong military strength and equally strong economic strength, it allows

The Tang people gradually mastered the pricing power of commodities! Afterwards, through a series of operations and developments, the Tang people completely established the Mediterranean economic and trade circle and occupied an absolute dominant position in it.

Although the various countries were dissatisfied, they once thought about alliance. However, under the strong military deterrence of the Tang Dynasty and a series of diplomatic wooing, beating and disintegration, the most likely alliance was shattered. Later, the Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to send troops several times, such as

The Egyptian dynasty was completely destroyed and turned into its own province. This was the moment when the Tang Dynasty showed force to the outside world. At that time

The power of the Tang people has given the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa a deep understanding. Not only is the navy powerful, but the army is also not weak. In addition, this country has a large population and huge war potential. The land area should have been their shortcomings.

With the drastic changes in the world, there has been dramatic growth, so the only shortcoming no longer exists.

And this has also created the special status of the Tang people. Even so, he has not launched a war with the outside world for a long time! However, no one dares to underestimate them. Those countries are not strong yet and do not dare to start a new war with the Tang people.

A round of war! And the people of the Tang Dynasty also had monarchs and ministers with relatively long-term vision, and the future situation became confusing again.

When the elegant white ship sailed into the Strait of Gibraltar, it was stopped by the anti-smuggling fleet belonging to the Tang Dynasty in the strait. The anti-smuggling fleet that stopped the white ship looked at the beautiful and elegant white ship in front of them in surprise.

Are they Chinese or European,

They had never seen similar ship types in North Africa and Asia. And they had never seen the flags flying on the ships. However, next to the unfamiliar flag, the 'Tang flag' that obviously belonged to their own country's flag, all the Tang officers and soldiers

, not unfamiliar at all.

They were all surprised how their country's flag was so grandly hoisted on a strange ship. Therefore, dozens of anti-smuggling fleets immediately launched an encircling battle formation. Following other ships that wanted to enter the strait,

Seeing this scene, they all ran away, hiding in the distance and watching quietly.

Although they were also very dissatisfied with the overbearing rules of the Tang people, they did not dare to speak out easily. In the vast area near the Mediterranean Sea, the Tang people were the well-deserved bosses and overlords. In all the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea, no one could challenge them.

A country that has been entrenched in the Mediterranean for nearly six hundred years wants to say something bad about them. Even the now-weakened cannibals dare not mention the history of the past few hundred years.

"Call your captain out, we have something to ask him!"

Tang Ren looked at the strange things on the deck of the white ship. Apart from that, they had never seen any living things on the deck. But he still shouted loudly. He believed that the captain of this beautiful white ship would definitely shout after hearing this.

come out.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tall figure walking out of the cabin.

"This is……"

Everyone looked at this figure with astonishment, with long silver hair, lake blue eyes, soft and three-dimensional facial features, plus the surprising height and pointed ears. One of them recently

Over the past few years, words that have been widely circulated appeared in their minds instantly.

"Elves!"

People in the Tang Dynasty immediately began to whisper. Even though they had not seen elves, they had seen some of them from the poems and pictures that had been spread all over Europe over the years. In addition, they had seen some of them from the descriptions of sailors who were said to have arrived in the land of elves.

, white boat, silver hair, superior height, pointed ears, and a beautiful appearance that makes women jealous. In addition, at this moment, these characteristics of the other party are all proving his identity. Even in Europe

, the spirit of the uproar that spreads!

"Are you an elf?"

Elsweir nodded slowly and responded, "That's right!" In his mouth, he spoke Tang dialect with perfect pronunciation.

After receiving the answer, Tang Ren's pupils shrank suddenly, looking surprised, "You can actually speak our language!" He was surprised, but then he remembered his responsibilities, so he asked, "Elf, why are you here? Why are you still here?"

There is..." He looked at the Tang flag flying high on the mast of the white ship, "Why is the flag of our country hoisted on your ship?"

Elsweir said slowly, "This was given to me by a Tang captain who had died long ago. His entourage also gave it to me, as well as his voyage diary and the information on the sea areas and water patterns drawn along the way. I accepted it before his death."

I have requested you to come here. Give these things to your monarch and convey to you the news of their death!"

"What!!!"
