Some basic settings of the world view (West Caro, polar continent)

This world does not have a whole name. Due to the existence of other anteroposteriors, people in this world collectively call it the main plane, or the main world.

This planet is composed of multiple continents. How many of them are there? Humans have not completed a real global travel, so they only know that there are five major continents currently explored, with different ecology and cultures. Therefore, this book is classified as magic, but it is not pure Western magic, because there are also continents similar to Eastern civilizations.

In today's chapter, I will briefly introduce the two continents that have appeared in the book, the Polar Continent and the West Carlo.

The northernmost polar continent: an extremely cold place covered by glaciers, similar to the Antarctic of the earth. It is rarely seen at the deepest point. A large number of polar organisms survive in relatively warm edges, forming a simple ecosystem. Because of its cold resistance, the furs of organisms here are very popular, which also makes many fur hunters move on the edge of the polar continent, even establish towns and stay in permanent places.

Near the center of the continent, in the coldest place, there is the ancient dragon, Dagulas, who has been sealed by the forbidden spell for six hundred years.

Sicarlo, southwest of the polar continent: an approximately circular continent composed of six major empires and countless subordinate principalities and autonomous territories. The continent contains the Mediterranean Sea. There is a huge island in the center, with a sacred temple built on it and is also the religious center of the continent.

Two thousand years ago, there was only one powerful empire on this continent, and the ruler was Emperor Karad, who was called the Immortal Emperor. For his long life, he gained the first support of the true vampire ancestor and became a powerful blood clan prince. He ruled the continent for nearly 800 years, and finally was defeated by the uprising army led by the Xingyao Sect more than 1,200 years ago. The mainland was divided by the six nobles participating in the uprising and formed the current six empires. The Xingyao Sect built a sacred temple on the central island, based on the original Karad's palace, and became the spiritual leader of the mainland.

About politics: The six countries in Sikaro are all feudal empires with feudal system. That is, the emperor is the largest aristocrat in the country and controls the largest territory. Other aristocrats swear allegiance to the emperor and have their own territories. Everything in the territory, including the canonization of legal and tax officials, is decided by the lord. The lord's subordinates are only responsible to the lord and do not loyal to the emperor.

In metaphor, each empire can be regarded as an alliance of countless small countries. The royal family is the most powerful one, leading other territories and accepting worship from various territories. However, the emperor will not interfere in matters within each territorial.

Generally, only great nobles with more than Count will be directly enthroned by the emperor and will be directly loyal to the emperor. Barons and viscounts are usually vassals of royal families or certain great nobles. Although they also have territory, they do not need to be directly enthroned by the emperor.

For example, if a duke wants his capable subordinate to become a baron, he only needs to issue an application (or memorial) to the emperor to explain the situation. As long as the emperor agrees (usually he will agree), the duke can enthrone the baron with the emperor's approval and divide a small piece of his territory from his territory as the baron's territory. Although it was nominally approved by the emperor, in the eyes of the baron, his title was fought for and canonized by the Duke, and he would only be loyal to the Duke and recognize him as his master.

Because the six empires in West Carlo have common beliefs (Starry Sect) and were once comrades-in-arms who jointly overthrew the rule of the Immortal Emperor, they belonged to friendly countries in name. Of course, small-scale wars often occur between countries and territories, but in general, in the past thousand years, in addition to jointly resisting foreign enemies, large-scale wars have not broken out in West Carlo.

About force: Sikaro Island pursues the warship system, and there is a unified assessment held by the Warrior Guild every year. Through the assessment, you can obtain or advance the warship. The warships are divided into one to five levels, with the highest level of fifth level.

The level of a warship not only represents honor, but also determines the status and income of a warrior. Among them, the fifth-level assessment items are the limit of human physical ability. If you can surpass the limit by means of explanation, you will gain extremely high reputation. Whenever a new fifth-level warship appears, the Star God Church will summon him, respond to the call, and pass the assessment (usually moral quality) and swear allegiance to the Holy See, and will be canonized as a Paladin, possessing many privileges in the mainland, representing the top combat power of Sikaro. However, there are also fifth-level warships who have not passed the assessment or have not responded to the summons, and their strength is not weaker than that of a Paladin.

About Magic: Sikaro Island pursues the nine-level magic system established by Yongyao Island, the magic holy land of the magic (Yongyao Island will be introduced separately if you have the chance in the future). The spells that magicians can cast are classified as ninth according to their difficulty and power. According to the spell level that can cast, the magicians are also divided into:

Magic Apprentice: Can cast spells below level three

Practice Mage: Be able to flexibly cast third-level spells, and is considered a high-level magic apprentice

Magician: Can cast spells of four to sixth level. According to the level of the highest ability to cast spells, it is also divided into primary mage (level 4), intermediate mage (level 5), and advanced mage (level 6)

Great Magician (Master of Magic): Being able to cast magic from level 7 to ninth is the highest level of a regular magician.

There are extremely rare magicians who, after learning level nine magic, further study in higher fields, break through the limit, and go to a higher level in realm, becoming the legendary legendary wizard (Magic Grandmaster). These legendary wizards can cast super-special magic above level nine, collectively known as forbidden spells, and are the strongest representatives of all intelligent creatures in humans and even the entire main plane.

There are only nine legendary wizards that are well-known all over the world, known as the Legendary Nine Pillars, and there are two places in Sikaro. As for whether there are legends hidden among the people, it is unknown.

About education: Sikaro Island pursues the academy system, and various empires and major territories have comprehensive colleges of different sizes, with similar functions to real-life universities. Usually, the enrollment range is over fifteen years old and has a certain foundation, and teaches knowledge and skills from all walks of life and strongly professional. As for the enlightenment education, it is not very perfect, and it is usually taught by the parents and families.

Due to the relatively high tuition fees and the requirements for basic knowledge, it is difficult for civilians who have not received a good education in childhood to pass the assessment to study in the college. Even if they pass, they may not be able to bear the corresponding costs. Although the system is fair, it invisibly increases the education level of civilians and nobles...

Of course, there are also some colleges that charge cheaply, but the facilities and educational level are naturally difficult to compliment...

Among them, the most recognized and best academy in the mainland is the Carente Academy in the west of the mainland, the capital of the Lion Heart Empire, and the city of Karentis. The academy is sponsored by the Lion Heart Royal, with complete facilities and strong educational strength, and legendary wizards. It can be said that it is the highest institution of learning that students across the mainland yearn for.

More importantly, although the fees here are expensive, there are tuition exemptions for civilians and lower the threshold for civilians to enroll in order to explore private talents.

Recently, the Western Academy system represented by Carrent College has also attracted the attention of the Eastern Great Zhou Empire. It is said that the Great Zhou royal family also established the Imperial Academy and sent people to Carrent College to exchange and learn from the scriptures.

Currency: West Carlo uses three coins, gold, silver and copper, as the main circulating currency, with the exchange rate of

1 gold coin = 20 silver coin = 2000 copper coin

The expenses of an ordinary family are about five to ten silver coins per month (in the Middle Ages, the main expenses of ordinary people were to buy food, and there was no such much money in the modern world)
