Travels in Eurasia in the Eighth Century

At the end of the eighth century AD, the world was at a wonderful crossroads. The Abbasid dynasty in the Middle East was at its peak. Caliph Harun al-Rashid was sitting in the Round City of Baghdad. Scholars at the Palace of Wisdom were translating Greek, Persian, and Indian classics into Arabic, while the black-clad and wealthy cavalry had already set foot on the throat of the Silk Road. At the intersection of Europe and Asia, Empress Irina had just blinded her biological son and sat on the throne of the Roman Emperor alone. The aftermath of the iconoclasm has not yet subsided. The Bulgarian khans roamed the banks of the Danube while learning writing and law from their Greek captives. In Western Europe, Charlemagne's army drove the Saxons into the Elbe River, his scholars were copying classical manuscripts in Aachen, his Twelve Warriors were famous in Europe, and the Roman Pope was preparing to crown him. The Tang Dynasty in the East struggled to recover after the Anshi Rebellion. The Hexi Corridor had fallen to Tubo, but the palaces in Chang'an were still brightly lit. The Tibetan cavalry were entrenched on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and they repeatedly fought with the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs in the Western Regions. Emperor Kanmu of Japan had just moved his capital to Heian-kyo, and ships sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty frequently traveled to and from the East China Sea. In this land connected by deserts, grasslands, oceans and mountains, a young man from the Tang Dynasty who traveled to Heishui Village in Ganzhou received a deal that changed his life. *There are almost no cheats in this book, and the adventure is based on the premise of common good.
