Chapter 2: Elanta Federation
In daily life, we wait for tomorrow in a world that seems to never end, until we are plagued by illness and meet our own end in astonishment.
Elanta Federation, a pan-human federation involving several life planets, perhaps because of the existence of magic, some physical laws that Mu Hua knew in his previous life do not seem so absolute here.
The three major empires dominate the three huge life planets in the star field, and they constitute the main body of the Elanta Federation.
Lanton Empire, founded on Lanton Star, is an ancient country dominated by Oriental people. The people generally have strong magic adaptability and have the largest number of Royal Knights in various countries.
Loren (Harlan) Empire, a new empire built on the pioneer planet.
There are complex races here. According to spoken habits, some people call this planet Loren, and some call it Harlan. As the empire that dominates this planet, people also call it the Magic Empire.
There is a strong magic technology there, which makes up for the lack of human beings in magic adaptability to a large extent, making magic technology gradually become the backbone of human beings against monsters.
The Holy Empire, a somewhat bloody name. This name undoubtedly reflects the nature of its religious country. Human beings are constantly fighting around different beliefs throughout the planet, and it is difficult to locate the country.
The Elanta Federation, it is said that civilization originated from a life planet called Earth.
Because there are many surnames, dialects, vassal states, and customs that Mu Hua seems to have seen before. But the archaeological community has been fighting over the debate on the origin, and there is still no conclusion.
Mu Hua said, ignore it.
Based on the "courtyard", in addition to the three major empires on the three main stars, there are countless countries with independent regimes.
Although this world is a human integration composed of the Elanta Federation, it has a complicated social system and system.
Under the empire, there are still kingdoms, principalities, and even lord city-states.
The integration of human groups is not absolute unity.
The history of civilization with clear written records for tens of thousands of years has experienced several collapses, breaks, reorganizations, and reconstructions. The distant civilization has become blurred and difficult to trace.
Until five thousand years ago, the entrance to the demon world appeared on the earth in the form of a dimensional teleportation array and descended on various parts of Elanta.
In the deadly battle with monsters, humans experienced a dark period of nearly two thousand years and gradually determined the underlying structure of Elanta civilization - the magic civilization.
Three thousand years ago, in the evolutionary changes, humans whose bodies adapted to magic appeared. Humans analyzed magic, derived blood, and mastered the barrier that prevented the demon world from eroding and merging with the outside world.
Humans completed their defense.
The demon world dimension from hell, controlled by monsters, and suspected to be formed by world fragments is called the "courtyard world" by people.
The courtyard world and the human world where humans live use the cross-border teleportation array as the entrance and exit, and merge with each other.
Courtyards, a large number of courtyards, they seem to have become transit stations between hell and the human world. Although they are in different dimensions, they are inseparable.
The earth, the sky, the ocean, the chaos that lasted for two thousand years, people wiped out the ferocious monsters that ravaged Elanta, and finally made Elanta a galaxy dominated by human civilization.
But in this human-dominated world, there are a large number of courtyard entrances, and these courtyards also make monsters a kind of thing that coexists with humans.
As time passed, the Elanta Federation entered a relatively stable modern civilization period.
In a trance, Mu Hua's soul traveled to the Lanton Empire in an inexplicable way, with a suspected plug-in, countless nights of speculation, and years of waiting for the plug-in to be activated.
However, his plug-in... exploded!
"Tsk~, what a hell of a life!" Amid the miserable wailing of the dwarf orcs, Mu Hua looked at the busy poachers around him, his eyes blank and muttered.
Waves of angry roars broke the tranquility of the dwarf forest, and the harsh sound waves shook off the green leaves on the surrounding treetops. Several strong men in tight clothes pierced the throat of the screamer with a spear over two meters long.
Dwarf orcs are low-level and weak. Among the monsters, they are usually captured by goblins or orcs to be used as slave cannon fodder.
This kind of monster rarely drops valuable items, but probably because of their low strength and intelligence, they usually appear in their original form when they appear in the courtyard.
The flesh and blood tissue of a certain part of these dwarf orcs is the main ingredient of a popular aphrodisiac. . .
The simple and worn leather armor is already considered excellent equipment among Mu Hua's group of poachers.
The tactical uniforms that seem to be exquisite and strong on some people are far less valuable than those worn leather armors.
The tactical uniforms made of civilian materials have almost zero defense against attacks containing magic.
Daggers, spears, bows and arrows, some seemingly primitive weapons pierce the vital points of dwarf orcs. And those firearms and ammunition that have not been specially treated are not as deadly to monsters as those cold weapons called "equipment".
Dwarf orcs are also considered a kind of monster, but Mu Hua and his group who hunted them were more like scavengers than warriors.
After all, they didn't even have a shooter equipped with low-level exorcism bullets.
They were cautiously on guard around, but not on guard against the dwarf orcs whose individual combat power was still lower than that of the goblins.
They were illegals, and they needed to guard against the Lanton Knights stationed in this dimensional world and those flying cavalry scouts.
On Lanton Star, if the relationship between poachers and the Knights must be described specifically, it must be greatly reduced in style.
Well, the two are probably equivalent to the street vendors in Mu Hua's previous life who guarded against the urban management.
The dimensional world is like a fragment of a planet, with sky, land, ocean, and even some traces of civilization.
There are various natural environments in these dimensional worlds, and in the environment suitable for human survival, there are endless monsters.
This kind of place is called the demon world dimension, or "courtyard".
The number of courtyards in the world is difficult to estimate, and new courtyards will appear from time to time, and their entrances are spread across the three main stars.
The area of the courtyard varies. The small one is like a village, usually just called the dimensional space. The large one is even more vast than the three main stars.
Those dimensional worlds with an area of more than one million square kilometers are what people call courtyards in the conventional sense.
In Lanton, every dimension of the demon world, every courtyard world, and everything in every courtyard belong to the empire. Including the dangerous and deadly monsters in it, at least in the perception of the Lanton people.
Courtyard-Twisted Plains, the entrance is located in a courtyard world somewhere in the Lanton Empire.
Green land, valleys, lush forests and clear streams, this place has an excellent natural environment.
But because there are countless goblins, this kind of normal crazy monster, let this courtyard with an actual area of millions of square kilometers get the name of twisted.
Well, monsters refer to the general term for creatures with magic cores in their bodies. They have the need to eat, but even if they don’t eat, they can rely on absorbing magic to maintain their lives.
This world has magic, magic beasts, orcs, demons, angels, and even magical life. It is really a world full of magical elements.
The reason why the demon space can get the name of courtyard is probably more to avoid ordinary people from feeling uneasy and panic about it.
Courtyard is a word that has been infinitely beautified. It is essentially another dimension, another world, a world that belongs to monsters, hell, and demons.
There are monsters from hell here, some of them are real, and more of them are projections.
It is full of dangers, but it also represents infinite opportunities and infinite possibilities.
There are also fertile land and resources suitable for human survival.
Searching for mineral veins, killing monsters, dropping items, gaining power, and gaining wealth, this is a higher-level world, and it is also the gathering place of the high-end power groups in this world.
Extreme risks and extreme opportunities coexist, fighting against demons and fighting monsters, this should be the pioneering land of adventurers.
Of course, there is actually no adventurer union in the Lanton Empire.
Strictly speaking, Lanton does not even have the title of adventurer.
Those who can legally set foot in the courtyard of Lanton are the Royal Knights. For these Lanton Knights, the outside world also calls them the army.
In addition to strengthening the people's loyalty and filial piety awareness such as "fatherly love and filial piety" and "hard work and struggle" from an early age, the Lanton Empire also strictly controls magic materials, magic tools, and even magic itself. Ordinary people are absolutely prohibited from entering the dangerous courtyard.
In order to improve the body's adaptability to power, some training and body transformation also have certain risks, coupled with the Empire's multiple restrictions.
In the Lanton Empire, the regular entrances to various courtyards are guarded by the Knights.
The Knights protect the people from being disturbed by the courtyards and monsters, and protect the people's stable and safe daily life.
Therefore, there are also a large number of ordinary people on Lanton Star who have no clear understanding of magic.
If you want to enter the courtyard normally, joining the Knights and accepting the Empire's dispatch, training, management and material distribution is probably the only way.
At this time, Mu Hua and his party, who were in a remote corner of a courtyard, obviously had a different way of entering.
"Hey, Mu, the inferior magic potion you prepared is really useful. This group of dwarves are useless. We should go hunt goblins, or try to kill the lone big goblins, or even ogres."
A blond young man approached Mu Hua and greeted him in a familiar tone, which earned Mu Hua's disgusted and vigilant gaze.
"Jim, get out! Go do what you should do!" A middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face drove the blond young man away with a harsh shout.
As he spoke, the man came to Mu Hua, with a fierce look on his face, but gave Mu Hua an apologetic look.
Mu Hua stared at the blond young man with a cold gaze, until the young man avoided his gaze and retreated angrily, then Mu Hua looked at the middle-aged leader.
"What's the matter? New here?" Mu Hua asked the middle-aged man in a bad tone.
"Well, the ruffians from Loren Star, you know, the scouts are usually more tolerant of them, he can be used as insurance." The middle-aged man glanced at the young man with different skin and hair color, and while speaking, he raised his hand and handed a leather scroll with delicate patterns to Mu Hua.
"You'd better explain it to him clearly, I don't want to cause trouble." Out of trust in the middle-aged man, Mu Hua casually explained.
