Journey of the Infinite Wizard

The father and son chatted in the garden and talked about many topics. During this period, the two former kings and queens, Ajert and Christina, were mostly asking Jiang Ning various questions. Ask him where he has been all these years, how he has been, and why he hasn't come to see them. However, more questions were asked about their mother, Elizabeth.

"Mother, how long will it take for her to come back to life?" Christina looked more and more charming now, she bit her lips and looked at the palace lantern on the table without blinking. As if 'hearing' her voice, the palace lantern suddenly flickered with an emerald color as rhythmic as breathing.

"I'm afraid we have to wait." Looking at the gorgeous palace lantern, Jiang Ning hesitated for a while before speaking.

"How long will we have to wait?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "I don't know." He looked at the disappointed expressions of his two children, "Your mother is not an ordinary childbirth, because you two were seriously injured at the beginning, fortunately I was still very 'weak' at the time. I'm afraid Elizabeth will never have a chance to be resurrected."

"why?"

"This is determined by the rules of the universe." He said: "The more powerful a life is, the chance of giving birth to offspring is very rare. And I was undoubtedly stronger than Elizabeth at that time. Therefore, this rule is also valid for me. Even When she was pregnant with the two of you, I brewed a lot of potions for her to supplement the source of life, but I still miscalculated. What she lost was the source, not mere potions. Although a large number of potions provided her It added a certain amount of vitality so that she could live for a few more years, but..."

"So it's because of the two of us..." Christina blamed herself very much, she looked sadly at the palace lantern on the table. I want to pick up the lamp, but I am afraid of hurting the soul sleeping in the lamp.

Ajieert didn't know how to comfort his elder sister. Since the two siblings abdicated, they have been practicing in seclusion in the backyard of the palace, serving as the country's secret patron saint. Christina was different from him, she was always hygienic and kept a pure virginity. Her vision is very high, no matter whether it is foreign monarchs, nobles or outstanding children of this country, they cannot fall into her eyes. Over time, he remained single. As for Ajieert, after he became an adult, he married an aristocratic woman from his country early and had children. After the children became adults, the siblings officially abdicated, and with the help of the two of them, the new king took over the power of the country smoothly.

Because during the co-government period of the king and the queen, they defeated the two kingdoms of Dashi and established the hegemony of the Mediterranean Sea. After the new king succeeded to the throne, the domestic political situation was stable, and so was the external environment. After the new king succeeded to the throne, he made a further step on the foundation laid in the era of double kings. Vigorously promote and support the country's industry, commerce, agriculture and animal husbandry. With his support and policies, the Tang people's society finally ushered in a period of blowout prosperity. 【】The potential accumulated over a hundred years of recuperation exploded in one fell swoop, ushering in comprehensive prosperity for the entire territory of the Tang people. All walks of life are flourishing, and farmers and herdsmen can farm and herd with peace of mind.

Grain production has been rising year by year, resulting in piles of granaries everywhere. And every household also builds more grain storage rooms, puts the newly produced grain every year in the grain storage room, and takes out the old grain and sells it abroad.

There was so much food that the Tang people didn't know what to do with it, so they used food to feed all kinds of livestock and even made wine. Foreigners have seen a lot of them, so they are not surprised. However, foreign businessmen and even envoys are extremely jealous of the wealth of the Tang people. In addition to the Mediterranean trade that revolves around Tang, many people and countries are extremely jealous of this profitable industry. The once sluggish or even extinct pirate industry has once again revived and prospered.

Many countries are secretly providing shelter for pirates. The Mediterranean Sea, especially the area close to Asia, is dotted with many islands, which are natural hiding places for pirates. Pirates from all over the world gather here. They wantonly rob all kinds of merchant ships in the Mediterranean Sea, and then sell them to various places. While earning huge profits, they wantonly build sea ships, recruit soldiers, and expand their strength. Although Tang's navy carried out many encirclement and suppression campaigns, they were still unable to wipe out all these pirates, and there were reasons for the support of various countries. As a result, merchants in some remote areas dare not act alone when they go to sea for trade. Only by uniting many sea merchants to form a huge caravan can they dare to go to sea for trade.

And near the land of the Tang Dynasty, the merchants there felt extremely at ease. Several fleets of the Tang people patrolled continuously every day to protect the smooth flow of the sea route. As for the pirates, they didn't have the guts to carry out public activities in the waters of the Tang people. However, the Tang people can only take care of a part of the sea area, and the farther sea area cannot be taken care of at all.

Although it is known that these pirates are supported by many countries, without definite evidence, it is difficult for the Tang people to exert pressure on those countries. On the contrary, because of repeated encirclement and suppression, the pirate forces not only did not decline, but became more and more prosperous.

"Father, will you leave when you come back this time?" After Ajieert finished speaking, Christina, who was a little depressed, also looked at Jiang Ning with expectation in her eyes.

Jiang Ning nodded and shook his head again, he said: "I must go, but I came back this time to take you back."

After hearing this, the siblings were very happy, and then frowned and said, "What about the country and the people? What should they do? If we leave, does it mean that everything here must be abandoned?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "That's not the case, you will understand after a while."

In the days that followed, Lu Duan, the envoy to the Tang Dynasty, was undoubtedly very happy after purchasing the war horses. Every day, he worked hard to learn the language and characters of the Tang people, and then under the guidance of his entourage and the translator assigned to him by the Tang people, he traveled around the whole territory of the Tang Dynasty and wrote down everything he experienced in his "Tang Yaolue" , He also hired a painter from the Tang Dynasty to paint various places, and he wanted to complete his book Traveling Tang Yaolue with both pictures and texts.

This was also influenced by the people of the Tang Dynasty, because he found that many of the books of the people of the Tang Dynasty were edited with pictures and texts. With pictures and text, it is more clear at a glance, and it is more interesting than simple text descriptions. For this reason, Lu Duan began to revise his book Traveling Tang Yaolue, and hired the most famous painter in the Tang Dynasty to accompany him to draw the land style of the Tang people, the port city and the mast-lined sea ships, as well as businessmen from various countries, Tang people, etc. clothing and residence. The pastures with countless livestock, the arable land with gratifying growth, the exquisite and tall houses, etc. are all the things he sees.

In his pen, he not only records the wealth of the land of the Tang Dynasty, but also records all aspects of the society of the Tang Dynasty in detail, including the political system of the Tang Dynasty. Make an objective and fair evaluation. Of course, during the period, it is inevitable to criticize the people of the Tang Dynasty for eliminating the study of sages and focusing on the study of profit and strange skills, which made Lu Duan very dissatisfied.

After Lu Duan finished writing his outline of his travels in Tang Dynasty, he met the king of Tang Dynasty and formally bid farewell.

The emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty blessed him and decided to send a naval fleet to escort him. Lu Duan was naturally grateful for this. Subsequently, the envoys visiting Tang Dynasty began to embark on the road back to China. .
