The reason why the Free Federation is called this is because the mages who originally founded the country were fed up with the discrimination of the major churches and hoped to establish a free city-state that was not bound by tradition.
The original idea of this name was only for spellcasters, led by mages, who wanted a relaxed environment to study spells without being affected by any external factors.
Purple Eagle City, known as the City of a Thousand Towers, was established during this period. Among the five great magisters who founded the Free Federation, the family crest of Roland Langdock, who was elected as the first Speaker of the Purple Eagle Parliament, is one.
An eagle that only spreads its wings and soars.
Purple is a special color selected by the five great magisters after discussion. It symbolizes the courage and courage of not compromising the power of the gods. It also metaphors the mystery, nobility and romance of the country of mages.
The above information was read openly by Lu Xiao and his party after entering the large library under the jurisdiction of the Masters Association.
The Free Federation has very loose control over spellcasters entering and exiting the city.
As long as they can prove that they are really spellcasters and are willing to abide by the laws of the Free Federation, people without any identification documents can also be allowed to enter the city.
Of course, before entering the library, you must first register with the Mage Association and obtain a magic version of the personal information identification card.
Lu Xiao, Yongzhen and Tamamoae were easily recognized by the association's assessor and received their own identification cards.
Fenrir was registered by Yongzhen as his familiar... In fact, this is indeed the case.
"Roland Langdoc, one of the founders of the Free Federation and the first speaker of the Purple Eagle Parliament, is known as the Grand Magister closest to the gods. Unfortunately, he could not really take that step until his death."
After catching up on some knowledge in the library, Lu Xiao and others had a general understanding of this strange world.
The main body of this world is called the continent of Arant, which is a complete territory not separated by the sea. The continent is surrounded by thousands of islands, large and small.
There are gods in the continent of Arant. Everyone had heard about it from the soldiers of the Cain Theocracy before, and it was further confirmed when they read the books.
There are not many gods in this world. Counting Heavenly Father and Earth Mother, who are revered as the twin gods of creation, there are only 6 serious gods in total.
It is said that Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother dissipated on their own after the creation of the world, handing over the management of the world to their four children, who are the gods of the four elements, respectively, in charge of earth, water, fire and wind.
The residents of the Arant continent believe that earth, water, fire and wind are the basis of the world's existence, and the existence of each god is unique and irreplaceable.
The Cainite Theocracy located in the west of the continent worships Cain, the god of earth, and the Svaleni Kingdom in the north worships Lethona, the goddess of wind.
The hotter southern part of the continent is governed by the United Emirates of Canaria, whose deity is Yadwiga, the ill-tempered goddess of fire.
The last god of flowing water, Elyan, is said to be the most powerful among the four elemental gods, occupying the most fertile and livable territory in the center of the continent. Among the four gods, only Elyan directly manages the country.
The country founded by the Water God is called the Sharki Empire, and its comprehensive national power ranks first in the mainland. Even the Free Federation, which has always looked down upon the gods, is unwilling to provoke them.
In addition to these four large countries blessed by gods, there are also many small and medium-sized countries on the continent of Arant.
The national strength of the Free Federation is absolutely top-notch among these small and medium-sized countries, and can even compete with the weaker Cainite Theocracy among the four elemental nations.
The eastern part of the continent of Arant is covered with mountains. Before the Free Federation came here to establish its country, few people wanted to live in the endless mountains.
In other words, the eastern part of the continent is an undeveloped and inaccessible barren land.
The arrival of Roland Rondock changed the Alain people's inherent impression of the eastern part of the continent. The City of Thousand Towers was built on the top of Elfling Peak, overlooking the magnificent surrounding mountains and rivers.
Taking this as an opportunity, more mountain towns were built one after another, and many people who advocated freedom immigrated there.
The Free Federation has grown rapidly by relying on free trade with neighboring countries without any barriers, thus forming a virtuous circle, attracting more immigrants from various countries, and thus causing dissatisfaction among the four elemental nations.
"Pa~"
Lu Xiao closed the thick history book, rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.
'This world belongs to a typical mysterious civilization, created and managed by gods.'
'However, judging from the fact that there are only four elemental gods in the world, the system of gods in the world of Arant is still very weak, and the four gods are reluctant to delegate power.'
It is mentioned in the history books that Roland Langdock tried to attack the divine realm many times for thousands of years, but every time he was about to succeed, a strange phenomenon occurred in the world.
Either floods are coming, volcanoes are erupting, tornadoes are passing through, and there are constant earthquakes.
You know with your buttocks that these strange phenomena must be caused by the four elemental gods, and their purpose is to prevent the birth of the fifth god.
In the end, Roland Landock failed and died in anger and regret.
As a result, the continent of Arant entered a period of peace that lasted for more than 200 years.
Perhaps the four elemental gods were embarrassed by attacking mortals regardless of their status. They did not continue to suppress the Free Federation founded by Roland, but turned a blind eye and allowed the Free Federation to gradually grow and develop.
However, this peace seems to have come to an end. Before the war between the Free Federation and the Cain Theocracy began, the four elemental nations began to prepare for action.
They are not countries that unanimously target "blasphemers". The four countries are not monolithic. Different gods will have conflicts of opinion on how to manage the world from time to time, which will naturally affect the national positions of their respective protections.
The Kingdom of Water, Sharki, has the strongest overall national strength. The Country of Fire, Canary, and the Country of Wind, Svaleni, hit it off and each deployed troops on the border of the Sharki Empire, looking ready to launch an invasion at any time.
The Sharki Empire did not show weakness. Under the order of the water god Elian, the war between the three parties in the border area was about to break out, and there was only one last fuse left.
Lu Xiao was originally not interested in paying attention to the mutual war between the countries in the Arant continent, but he always felt that the end of peace was a bit too abrupt, as if there was an invisible hand instigating it behind the scenes.
"Consus, what do you think?"
Consus thought for a while before answering: "The five most powerful countries in the mainland almost triggered conflicts at the same time. It is easy for people to speculate that there is a conspiracy behind it."
"If it were other normal worlds, I wouldn't think the worst first, but in the Lost Land... I'd better keep an eye out."
"We have the same idea." Lu Xiao rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "I have a hunch that maybe the mastermind behind the continental war is related to the world exit we are looking for."
