In the northern part of the New World, twelve rivers originated from the Arctic Point's "Spring of the Primordiality" Hwagmir, the largest of which is called the "Vimur River".
This big river first flows through Nifelheim. This area is full of mist all year round, so Nifelheim is also known as "the country of fog".
In this basin, the river water seems to be affected by some kind of magic. The color is dark, the cold is bitter, the water temperature is lower than the freezing point but it does not freeze, and there is often a blue flame floating above the river surface, which is the polar natural phenomenon "cold flame" .
The Vimur River passes through Niforheim and continues to meander southwards, along the way through the "Mission Canyon" and "Iron Forest", and then flows through the "Giant Kingdom" Yodenheim and continues south into Mead Guardian area. As the climate warms along the way, the phenomenon of "cold flames" above the river gradually disappears, and groups of salmon and perch are cruising in the river with the right temperature.
After entering Midgard, the Vimur River branched off a tributary known as the "Honey River" and continued to flow south, passing through the "Hose Forest", entering the area of Yalfheim and meeting near Princes Harbour Into the sea. The main stream of the Vimur River turned to the southeast, traversing the "Asa Peninsula", and finally merged into the "Asa Bay" at the eastern port of the peninsula.
Both "Asa Peninsula" and "Asa Bay" are named after the indigenous Asa people. Today, the Asa people have been expelled to the western fangs by immigrants from the old world. A harbour city was established in the delta near the mouth of the Ayr River, which is today the capital of Midgard, the capital of Midgard.
Midgard is the first colony established by immigrants from the old world on the New World. On the vast land, mines, manors and villages are dotted, but even a large city such as the colonial capital "Midgard City" has turned into a barren hill with dense vegetation just a few miles outside the city gate. Every night, beasts and monsters Wandering outside the city walls, few people dare to walk in the wilderness at night.
Agriculture and fisheries are well-developed in the Midgard area. The vast and fertile Vigrid Great Plains are planted with large and small plantations and pastures. Corn, wheat and potatoes are the main local crops, and the Gulf of Asa is rich in fat salmon And perch, but the real economic pillar of the entire colony, is the modern magic industry represented by magic crystal mining and refining and ocean trade centered on the export of magic crystal.
It is no exaggeration to say that the "Magic Crystal" is the blood and soul of the Meadgard colony. Without the magic crystal, this cold-cold colony cannot attract tens of thousands of immigrants to settle in, and the capital of Meadgard can not be surpassed. The Port of Leiden in the south has become the most prosperous and affluent overseas colonial city in the Holy Yashan Empire.
In the early morning of January 18, 1621, the fog over the coast had not completely dissipated, and a loud whistle came from the sea level. Several magic crystal steamships returning from a long voyage sailed to the harbor under the guidance of the harbor lighthouse. A little further away, a very obscure old-styled brigantine sailed slowly to the port.
On the deck of the Mercury cargo ship, three young men stood side by side on the bow of the ship, looking out at the approaching port of Meadgard.
In the middle is a young mage dressed in a black cloak. His fair-skinned and handsome face has a little curiosity. His right eye glows strangely under the reflection of dawn, like a black gemstone embedded in his eyes.
Standing on the left side of the Junior Master, a gorgeously dressed boy is yawning nonstop, and he seems to be more interested in the hammock in the cabin than the destination he is about to arrive.
Standing on the right side of the juvenile mage is a young girl in black with pony tails. Behind her is a wave-edged sword that is very disproportionate to her slim figure, which makes people worry that this petite girl will be too much. Heavy weapons crushed.
"Joan, did you see the small island ahead? That's where the port is, Minute Island."
The twin ponytail girls are the only locals among the three, and happily introduce their companions to the next trip.
"The cargo ship will break down on Minute Island. After we landed, we rented a carriage and headed to Midgard City through the'King Bridge'."
After hearing Hailar's introduction, Joan learned that the planning layout of Midgard City was not the same as Leiden Port.
Leiden’s port and city are connected together and are on the coast. The city and port of Midgard City are separate. The city is located on the coast. The port, warehouse, warehouse, dock and even the customs building are located in The islands near the coast are connected by a bridge, and there are also barges and ferries providing convenient sea transportation.
This island, which serves as a passenger and cargo terminal, is about 20 miles long from north to south and 5 miles wide from east to west. It is like a long and narrow pea pod floating in the Gulf of Asa, across the sea from the port of Midgard.
Like the Vegrid Plains, this island was also "purchased" from the Assa indigenous by Peter Minut, the third governor of Meadgard, and was named after the surname of the governor. "Minute Island".
At five o'clock in the morning, "Mercury" docked on Minute Island.
Joan shakes goodbye with Captain McQuay and then follows Hailar to disembark.
Hailar beckoned a convertible wagon, and when Joan and Holden got in the car, she turned and said to the driver: "Into the city."
"Okay, miss, please sit tight."
The driver whistled the leather whip, and the two horses trot along the street without delay. Passing through the pier filled with large and small containers, decelerating in front of the cross-sea bridge, vehicles and pedestrians lined up in a long line in front of them, it seems that they are all waiting for customs clearance.
Joan They chatted on the carriage while watching the surrounding scenery. After about ten minutes, the carriage finally moved to the bridgehead guardrail. Two uniformed customs officers came over and looked at the car alertly, as if they were looking at them. Are there any prohibited items?
Joan thought they would ask for a body search, or cross-examine the origins of his and his companions, and check his ID. The result was a false alarm, and the two police officers waved away without saying anything.
The coachman seems to have become accustomed to this kind of walk-through inspection method. He drove up the bridge and drove along the flat and wide road.
Holden looked back at the Qiaotou sentry post and couldn't help vomiting: "This kind of inspection is equal to nothing. If I were a smuggler, I would never put the goods on the bright side even if I was stupid. Now."
Hailar blankly glanced at him and said angrily: "Don't think you are clever. People with storage bags are not civilians. Moreover, they can't hold much stuff. The entrainment is entrained. The customs staff is not worth offending this little thing. people."
