Chapter 85 The National Shame of the Rurik Kingdom
When the Royal Library opened, Charles burped and said goodbye to everyone in the noodle shop, and then came to the library together.
Then, the two of them stood foolishly in the arc-shaped hall at the entrance of the library, waiting around and waiting for Zlatkin's arrival.
After more than twenty minutes, a very smart middle-aged man ran in panting.
When the visitor saw Charles and Amiya, he hurried over and asked, "Is it Charles?"
At the request of Charles, he asked everyone to call him his name, not his last name.
"It's me." Charles said to the visitor, "Are you Professor Zlatkin?"
"I am Zratkin." He replied, "Sorry, there are too many people watching the noodle restaurant in front of the intersection. It blocked the road and I finally got through it."
"It's okay," Charles replied, "we were almost stuck there too."
After the greetings, Zlatkin took Charles to the front desk in the hall to open a luxurious reading room.
Zratkin explained to Charles: "Because sometimes many scholars need to discuss and study issues here, and they do not want to be disturbed by others, and at the same time, there are many independent lounges in the library. Sometimes, His Highness the Demon King will come here to summon his think tank to discuss some issues."
With the school's certificate and VIP card in hand, Zratkin quickly opened the study room, and then he led Charles and Amiya to the stairs in the center of the library.
He introduced to Charles as he walked: "The Royal Library has a history of more than two thousand years. It is a circular shape with a diameter of more than one hundred meters. The center is a central garden with a diameter of thirty meters. The library has six floors and contains countless books in various disciplines. This is a key protection unit in our country. Over the years it has been established, even if the palace has been breached several times, it has never fallen here."
Charles was led by Zlatkin to a study room on the sixth floor, where a human girl in the library trousers, shirts and vests were already waiting.
Next to the door of this reading room are two bookshelves filled with book catalogs, and there are three empty bookshelves, with green plants placed in the middle. In the middle of the room are sofas and coffee tables, and a map covering the wall hanging from the wall next to the next. At the window facing the outside, you can see half of the Abyss City.
After Charles and Zratkin sat down, Amiya and the waiter went to prepare tea.
Zratkin asked Charles: "What kind of history do you want to know?"
Charles saw that there were only two of them in the reading room at this time, so he said, "Professor Zlatkin, I believe you also know that my surname is Meccardon, I came to Abyss City from Dongtu for a few days to travel." [#…ABC Novel Network…¥ Fastest Update]
Zratkin nodded.
Charles continued: "In the East, the history books record my ancestor Philip for more than ten years on this land, so I want to know what he has done here."
Zlatkin nodded, said to Charles, and then went to the catalog bookshelf by the door to look for useful books.
At this time, Amiya and the waiter came back with tea and snacks. Amiya poured tea for Charles and said, "Young Master, this is the tea made by Paladin fruit. This kind of tea can produce salivation and quench thirst, prevent and treat sore throat, and is especially suitable for drinking today."
"Thank you," Charles said to Amiya.
After pouring the tea, Amiya originally planned to stand beside Charles, but Charles felt that she was not used to it, so she asked her to sit on the sofa next to her.
At this time, Zratkin handed over a copy of the books he needed to the waiter and asked her to bring the books.
The luxury of a luxurious reading room is not only reflected in hardware facilities, but also in services.
Taking advantage of the inactivity that the waiter had not returned, Charles asked Zlatkin a question that had troubled him for a while.
"Professor Zlatkin, Dongtu records that this is the Liurik Empire, and the supreme leader is the emperor. But why did I find that the country has been changed to the Liurik Kingdom, and my uncle's claim to be the king, and now you still call Ekaterina the queen. And now many places still use the title of "Royal". In the more than three hundred years after the last war, did something happen? "
"Ah..." Zratkin sighed deeply, "This is the national humiliation!"
Then he said: "The war that lasted more than three hundred years ago was very fierce. If it weren't for the two geniuses, Queen Caterina and Philip, who were the two geniuses, who had not turned the tide, we would have become slaves of the country."
"Although we drove away the invaders at the end of the war, Empress Caterina and Philip both died, and a large number of young and middle-aged people died on the battlefield, which made our national strength plummet."
"At this time, our original allies, the demon clan living on the western island countries, took advantage of the exhaustion of our country's national strength and suddenly sent troops to capture nearly half of the land in the western part of our country, and countless people became slaves."
"If the Elf King Court hadn't sent a large number of reinforcements to reinforce and the terrain of the western plateau, we would have become slaves of the country."
At this time, Zratkin walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed to the vast land marked in red on the west side of the map and said, "After losing this land, the emperor at that time, the younger brother of Queen Ekaterina, felt deeply humiliated, so he demoted himself to the king, requiring his descendants to ascend the throne only after regaining the lost land."
"Unfortunately, for the next three hundred years, we have been on the defensive stance, and we have to face the attack of the demon army at several passes in the Bronze Mountains almost every year."
At this time, Charles realized the "wide" of this continent for the first time.
In the eastern land, the Fillingen Kingdom, the Biberach Kingdom and the Reyrik Kingdom of the three northern countries are all countries smaller than France. The Bisberg Kingdom and the Reybach Kingdom along the south of the river are also countries with similar shapes and sizes as Italy. The entire northern region of the Yangtze River, which is south of the grassland, is about the straight-line distance from Shanghai to Kunming, and the north-south width is about the distance from the capital to the capital of Anhui Province.
The area in the south of the Yangtze River is slightly smaller because its coastline is similar to that in China. The more you go south, the more you go west, making the area in the south of the Yangtze River in China, and the Elves King's Court occupy a slightly larger place in the southern part of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces.
The entire area controlled by humans is almost the same as that of densely populated areas in eastern China.
As for how big the northern grassland area is, no one can tell at present, only Weilong Mountain knows.
The forest seas that divide the east and west sides of the continent extend northward from the south to the Ice Crown Mountains, which is almost equal to half the length of the Three North Shelterbelt. However, the forest seas are much wider than the Three North Shelterbelt, with a narrower place of nearly 100 kilometers and a wider place of nearly 200 kilometers.
The areas controlled by the demons in the west of the forest are much larger than those controlled by humans.
The eastern part of the Kingdom of the Rurik Kingdom is about the same size as that of humans and elves.
In the middle is a plateau area with an altitude of more than 1,000 kilometers from north to south and two or three hundred kilometers wide. On the east and west sides of this plateau area are two high mountains that are low in the east and high in the west. The Pingfeng Mountains on the east side block the water from the west, so the east side of the mountain is the sea of death sand and grasslands in the north at the end of the west.
The mountain range on the west side of the plateau is the Browns Mountains. The west side of the mountain is a land similar to Western Europe. Among them, more than 90 kilometers west of the Browns Mountains is a rugged mountain range with an altitude of over 1,000 meters. Now this mountain range that falls into the opponent is called the Sad Mountains.
It was these three mountains that ran across the continent from north to south that cut the connection between the eastern and western parts of the Lurik Kingdom, which made the western region unable to transfer the only elite troops arranged in the east to resist the invasion of human troops in the east, causing all the western region to fall.
Although this continent is considered vast, because of the numerous ferocious monsters in this world, various intelligent races cannot reclaim enough land.
Charles has always believed that the land under his feet is only part of the continent on this planet. It is just that the monsters in the ocean are as fierce as cheating, so they trapped various intelligent races on this continent.
