Chapter 163 The Two Ancient Civilizations of the Two Disappeared Indigenous Empires
To be honest, the security in San Jose was not bad, so Nick Adams only brought the butler and two guards, but John's five people or three and two vampires were all sent out.
Arthur and Brandon are both extraordinary followers who are loyal to him and are retainers rather than slaves, and the Salvatore brothers are also his nominal knights-in-waiting, having received them from the late John.
So it's not good to stay on the airship and watch them come out to play.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in the open-air market. Although petty theft is inevitable in areas where such crowds gather, the security is still good. Hyjal soldiers wearing khaki uniforms can be seen everywhere to maintain order.
Yes, they are soldiers.
Because there are warlords fighting in Hyjal all the year round, usually the ruling party will take the lead, and the government will change two or three times a year. Therefore, the military and police are not separated, and there is no fixed security team. Every government comes to power with support.
The army of his own faction came to take over San Jose, a wealthy and golden city.
After all, although the environment in Hyjal is relatively harsh and the country is very poor, as one of the two empires of the indigenous civilizations of the New World, the country still has a deep historical heritage. In particular, the security in most areas of the capital San Jose is relatively good.
Some, the most famous here is the open-air market. People often get rich overnight because they find antiques from the Empire of the Sun in the market.
This has greatly increased people's desire to visit San Jose, the former capital of the Sun Empire and now the capital of Hyjal, known as the Golden City.
Basically, all travelers passing through San Jose, unless they are pressed for time, will visit the city's most famous open-air market.
Seeing how excited the young master of the Adams family was, it was obvious that he had been admiring this for a long time, and John couldn't help but become interested.
Picking things up is a must-have plot in past life time travel novels!
So the two of them started talking while walking into the market.
I found that all kinds of knowledge were readily available in John's words, which was much richer than the knowledge he learned from tutors and newspapers, and there were many eye-catching and even thought-provoking remarks and opinions.
So Nick couldn't help but ask John for advice.
John, who loves to teach others, pointed to the golden stone building behind them and said:
"The Golden City of San Jose was expanded on the ruins of the Golden City, the capital of the indigenous Sun Empire. It is the largest and oldest city in the New World. There is no one. Because the custom of the Harvest Empire in the south is to build settlements centered on altars and farmland.
There are very few large-scale cities in the land, and the few that have been destroyed by the colonists have long been destroyed. What remains are basically the remains of altars similar to pyramids or beacon towers."
As a compulsory course for nobles, John has a good grasp of history. Combined with the rich information and opinions from his previous life, this is why he was able to discuss it with Theresia's learned female detective without falling behind.
"The so-called two major civilized empires in the New World are, as we all know, the Empire of the Sun and the Empire of Harvest, also known as the Golden Empire. I have to say that the New World is truly blessed with fertile soil, whether it is the Harvest Empire in the Southern Continent, the Sun Empire in the Mid-Continent or the Northern Continent.
The gold output of Jinsha Port and the frigid gold mines in the north of Brooke Colony that were just discovered a few years ago exceeds the total output of gold in the Old World from the Middle Ages to the present for thousands of years."
The Mayan Empire in this previous life was similar to the Aztec Empire and also liked to decorate with gold. However, in the previous life, there were three major civilizations in the Americas, while in this world, there are only two major civilizations in the New World.
Then John continued to tell: "The two families are jointly classified as two major indigenous civilizations. The level of civilization is no less than the level of the medieval period in the Old World, and even surpasses the European countries since the Renaissance in some areas. As for our White Eagle Federation,
The occupied Hokuriku are basically more primitive large and small indigenous tribes, and have not yet formed a unified civilization."
"Among them, the Sun Empire is located in the middle continent, where the current Hyjal Republic is located, and the Harvest Empire is located in the sacred mountain area in the central and western part of the Southern Continent. Due to the killings of the colonists of the Old Continent, these two major civilizations have basically been reduced to history, and only remain
There are some discovered and undiscovered ruins, and only the remaining forces of the Harvest Empire remain in the Sacred Mountains of the Southern Continent. They established a new capital in the mountainous area and were called the Second Harvest Empire by the Spanish colonists."
Nick raised his hand like a primary school student in class and said:
"I know this. Last year's newspapers reported on the Southern Continent countries' encirclement and suppression of the Second Harvest Empire."
John nodded, and then said in a lower tone: "What interests me most is not the history. Those antiques in the eyes of archaeologists and the world can only be embellishments in life for extraordinary people like us.
What we are really interested in are the extraordinary items and even the inheritance left behind by the Empire of the Sun and the Empire of Harvest.”
These words not only made Nick's curious heart feel like a cat scratching his head, but also successfully aroused the interest of the housekeeper and others.
John continued to tell Nick: "These two indigenous empires of the New World are more famous in the supernatural world than in the secular world, because they both have powerful extraordinary inheritance. For example, the Empire of the Sun, known as the Kingdom of Gold, is good at demonization.
In terms of puppets and alchemical potions, legend has it that their golden city is the only flying fortress comparable to the floating city created by ancient arcanists. There are also various powerful golden puppets and secret medicines that can extend life.
To be blessed by such a powerful god as Quetzalcoatl, known as one of the two major indigenous gods of the New World.”
"The Harvest God of the Harvest Empire controls the power of agriculture, harvest and wind and rain, and is also an indigenous god-king alongside Quetzalcoatl, the sun god. The extraordinary beings of the Harvest Empire are better at astrology, arcana, witchcraft and
Spells in the fields of nature and other fields. It is said that they have predicted the destruction of the empire and the fall of the God of Harvest very early. Many attempts have been made to this end, but now it seems that they have basically ended in failure. Otherwise, the vast empire that occupies most of the southern continent
Nor will it be destroyed and become history.”
John's words aroused exclamations from Nick and others.
These were all the knowledge he learned from the female detective. Although she was not a transcendent person, her status was obviously extraordinary and she knew a lot of information that even Arthur and Lucian did not know.
Everyone was enjoying the excitement they were talking about, when suddenly they heard an exclamation from behind.
"Klaus, why are you here?"
John turned around and found the speaker, and immediately frowned, secretly thinking that trouble was coming.
Now John feels quite helpless about some of the troubles caused by Klaus's body.
During that time in Jinsha Port, although he had tried his best to live in seclusion to avoid the debts that Klaus had incurred before and to talk to many women who "came here just for their reputation".
But before he left, aristocratic ladies whom he knew well would continue to visit his house, and some would even inquire about when he would leave, so that they would be ready to see him off.
If he hadn't told Lucien that he didn't want to be disturbed, so he didn't send him off with a big fanfare, but it was just a few of his family members quietly, maybe he would have been stuck in the road and couldn't get on the steam airship.
Whether in his previous life or in this life, he always has a somewhat serious and reserved personality. For example, when he went to the police academy to give lectures to the students, he could be a cold-faced and warm-hearted devil instructor, but he would not
He is the kind of confidant big brother who gets along well with the students.
Especially when it comes to girls, he behaves like a straight man. For him, women are really difficult to deal with. When he was able to get a girlfriend, he was still chased by others. The process can be said to have twists and turns. Now,
Thinking about it, I still feel a little blushing and nostalgic.
Although his ex-girlfriend was not very pretty, was lazy and liked watching handsome young men, she was still an addicted TV drama addict and a complete homebody.
But he had to admit that he felt very lucky for that relationship. After all, it was a blessing to meet someone who could accommodate each other.
However, John, who had lived two lifetimes, really couldn't bear Klaus's debt to attract bees and butterflies.
Unfortunately, things often just happen when you don't want them to.
