In the northwest of the continent on the Main Plane, there was a new country.
This country was called the Republic of Northwest. The name was strange, and so was its geographical location.
It was located in the famous Ashes Woods, formerly the famous Void Mask Amusement Park, the less famous four northwestern towns, and a group of pioneer villages.
The Ashes Woods was a well-known forbidden zone for life. There was thin negative energy everywhere, which would corrode everything unknowingly. In there, whether it was tools, livestock, or people, everything "spoiled" very quickly. Strong iron would become fragile in a week or two, and painstakingly made furniture would be damaged in four or five days. As for people … there was not even an ordinary person over 30 years old. Without special means to resist negative energy, ordinary people would die in the wild in two or three days.
Of course, there were also residents in the Ash Forest. They were desperadoes who had nothing else to lose except their lives. They relied on the power of the gods to open up small and pitiful living spaces and planted vines that were difficult to swallow. They barely survived like weeds on the roadside. But even so, the Cinder Woods often showed their ferocious claws and fangs. When night fell, monsters, undead creatures … all kinds of horrible things would come and attack people.
The most terrible thing was that every year on the night of the pole new day, there would be a skeleton tide in the Ashes Woods. Countless skeletons would attack all the living. Even if there was a strong city wall, it often could not withstand the fierce attack of countless skeletons all night long. Often after the night of the pole new day, before the lucky survivors had time to catch their breath, they would receive the sad news that the nearby villages had been broken into, and no man, woman, old or young had survived.
"Building a country in such a place? A country of undead creatures? "Many people thought so.
However, there were some knowledgeable people who knew even more.
The intensity of negative energy in the Ashes Woods decreased from the center to the surrounding areas. The pioneers lived on the edge of the Ashes Woods, close to the barren mountains. In such a place, the negative energy was blocked by the power of the mountains, so it was relatively more suitable for survival. As long as they were careful on the night of the pole new day, they did not need to worry too much.
Of course, the cold and the barren were always the enemies of all life. But in general, it was not a forbidden zone for life. It was just not conducive to large-scale development and development.
Even so, as long as one had enough ability, they could still open up a living space in this barren land. For example, if you were a powerful god, and you could squander your power without any qualms, then you could totally run a prosperous paradise in the north-central part of the Ashes Woods, where even a cup of boiling water would shatter into pieces of ice in winter.
That was the Void Mask Amusement Park, the most stable and prosperous city in the world.
This city, which had been renamed "Void City," was the capital of the Republic of Northwest and had a permanent population of more than 50,000. Every day, there were many people from all over the world who came here to sightsee. It provides tourists with the best enjoyment, the most interesting entertainment, and the most novel adventure experience in the world. What's more, this was a well-known safe haven. As long as you abided by the laws of the Republic of Northwest and behaved yourself, no one would dare to cause trouble for you here.
More than ten Legendary powerhouses lived in this huge city all year round, and two True Gods paid attention to it. Not to mention mortals, even gods would not be able to cause trouble here!
From the east to the south of Void City, there were four towns: Dragon-roar Town, Gold-panning Town, Pyroxene Town, and Rye Town. These four towns, together with some development villages near the towns, and Void City, constituted the main body of the Republic of Northwest.
Each of the four towns in the northwest had its own characteristics, and most of them should not be underestimated.
Dragon-roar Town was a world-famous producer of magical beast materials. The people here were tough, and even the children on the street knew how to use knives and guns. A large number of adventurers who hunted magical beasts as a profession lived here. They entered the deep mountains with space cracks, killed the magical beasts that rushed into the Main Plane from the other side of the space cracks, disassembled them into various materials, and sold them to the merchants who bought these materials. They were extremely fierce.
In Dragon-roar Town, a person's social status depended on how powerful the magical beasts he could hunt. The well-known heroes in the town could even form a group of a few people and put down those horrible magical beasts that were close to the legendary level in a special way, and then dragged them back to be slaughtered and disassembled in public.
"Going to Dragon-roar Town to see the slaughtering of magical beasts" was also one of the famous tourism projects in the northwest.
Gold-panning Town was a relatively poor one among the four towns in the northwest. There were gold mines here, but the quality was very poor. There were also some other minerals here, such as copper and iron mines, but they were not very good and could barely support people.
But a little further south, in Pyroxene Town, the situation was completely different!
Pyroxene Town could be called the pearl of the Northern Region. It was a quiet, stable, and prosperous town. The town was surrounded by a huge purification array, and negative energy could not invade at all. Cold-resistant pines and cypresses could be seen everywhere in the town, which were lush and full of vitality. The large fields outside the town were even more unimaginable that this was the Ashes Woods, known as the "life forbidden zone." If the fields were not mainly planted with cold-resistant crops and herbs, people would even think of those famous food producing areas.
In fact, food was really produced here, and it was very high-grade food. Because of the cold weather, the food here had a long growth period and only matured once a year. The long growth period made them far more plump than other food, and the taste was completely different from ordinary food. It could be said to be the best!
This kind of food used to be only produced in small quantities in the Orc Empire, and it had always been a signature product for dignitaries and high-end restaurants. Since the success of cultivation in Pyroxene Town, it had become a highlight of the town's industry.
But for Pyroxene Town, the most important industry was not this, but herbs and negative energy crystals.
Needless to say, these precious consumables had always been in short supply, and no matter how much they were produced, there was never enough. Negative energy crystals were very good low-grade magic materials. The negative energy crystals produced in Pyroxene Town were not big, but they were very pure. They were popular with those middle-level and low-level mages, and they were also in short supply.
With these three incomes, the people of Pyroxene Town lived quite a rich life.
The highlight of the town was not only the industry, but also a magic school that specialized in training combat mages, called Isuka Magic School. The headmaster of the magic school was the mayor who led Pyroxene Town to prosperity, and also the celebrity who unified the four northwestern towns and laid the foundation for the establishment of the Republic, Felix.
At present, Felix was already the second consul of the Republic of Northwest, responsible for the work of the four towns and various development villages. Some people had calculated that if the area she managed was counted as a territory, then she would be the most powerful count in the entire Main Plane!
Further south of Pyroxene Town was the border of the Republic of Northwest. Here was Rye Town, an important commercial and agricultural town.
Rye Town was an old town in the northwest region. It was strong, and its commerce and agriculture were very developed.
The most well-known thing here was that it had a strong garrison, which was quite good in both strength and equipment, comparable to the imperial guards of ordinary countries guarding the palace.
And Rye Town was also the most populous town in the Republic of Northwest, with a total population of nearly 10,000.
There was a legendary master stationed here all year round. If you wanted to make trouble here, you should first look at the corpses of the bandits hanging on a row of execution racks outside the town.
In general, although the geographical location of the Republic of Northwest was a bit strange, its foundation was not weak. Many countries in the world were not as good as it when they started!
