Chaos is the ladder to ascend, and how to make the most of the current chaos to seek the greatest benefits for yourself is a science.
Zenil was dormant and observing. He had a clear view of the turmoil in Mera in recent months. He saw the crowds of responders after Tanya raised her flag high. He also saw the school's pressing step by step. The governors of the Storm Territory When the plan to surprise the royal capital, Rodmir, was already being implemented, the situation suddenly changed.
The appearance of the Black Corpse Society made Xenir's eyes bright. Sarah continued to use "power" as bait during the massacre to attract a large number of magicians, and her act of distributing necromancy magic for free increased the number of followers. .
Ordinary people don't care about justice or evil, or they are too far away from their lives. It is ridiculous to talk about righteousness to a group of people who just want to survive and have food and clothing.
Magicians who are eager to climb up don't care about their position. The knowledge blocked by the school is difficult to obtain even if they join it. The depression accumulated in the heart after being played and ravaged will eventually turn into hatred for the school.
Maybe what they hate is not the school, but why they are not a member of the top class of the school, but this is enough. After all, the unprecedented turmoil has made most people in Mela rethink "change".
Zenil put everything on the gambling table. He was confident that this was a far more correct option than a surprise attack on the royal capital and a fight to the death with his father.
The consuls knelt down in fear, and the magician representatives were stunned.
The former believes that this is full of risks. The attack on the school does not mean that they have declined, but that they have not faced up to the current situation and united as one. The foundation accumulated over hundreds of years is definitely not as bad as it appears now.
The latter is worried that such a move will shake Zenil's future rule. If the opening of giving more magic knowledge to the bottom is easily opened, it will mean a decrease in the stability of the government and an increase in the pressure to maintain public security. It will also affect the status of the existing magician group. The weakening may easily trigger their rebound.
Any devolved power and rights are difficult to take back, and some things must be tightly bound in a cage.
Zenil just smiled indifferently, looked at the secretary, and explained proudly.
…
…
"Zenir's commitment to one-stop training of magicians and the subsequent opening up of high-level magician inheritance and teaching authority can be said to be a step forward compared to Tanya. As a ruler, he is not afraid of this. Will the promise become a hidden danger in the near future?" Lulu asked curiously.
"On the contrary, Zenil is much smarter than Tania. When he announced these regulations, he was already thinking about the future of the country, not the present." Serra said.
"Although no matter which race will repeat the same mistakes, there are still some reference points in history. For example, when the magic wave began six hundred years ago, the Six Pillars of Solon, the first emperor of Cordzoun, and Slagona The emperor who was supposed to deceive the dragon first gathered a lot of popularity by resisting Melias, the rotten giant owl, and then united people's hearts by fighting against the impregnated spirit, and finally successfully separated one side and established a new era for the Mela human race. situation."
"Why do people follow them in this process?" Lu Yu chuckled, "It was not a big deal at the beginning, it was just a way to survive."
"The last rule of Melias was so cruel that all the major races and city-states could not bear it. The situation of being willing to associate with monsters and not being a citizen of the giant owl happened everywhere in the area ruled by Melias. Therefore, they took action After raising the flag, we quickly received responses from all parties.”
"It was also during the response process that they gradually optimized their slogans and gave different promises. For example, knowledge sharing, re-division of land and resources, these were all used by the resisters back then, but they were less powerful than today's Just a little bit." Lu Yu asked back, "But Lu Lu, can you still see the traces of those promises today?"
"Solon's Six Pillars promised to establish a new country where all races are equal. Today, Solon has no equality for the citizens of the empire outside the so-called six major races. Solon's official government has acquiesced in this long-term rule. The term "inferior species" appears again. "
"The first emperor of Cordzoun claimed to build a clean and just country and not engage in barbaric warriors who actively expanded externally. He also formulated a large number of preferential policies for farmers and slaves. But under him
After more than two decades in office, those promises have faded. Today's Cord'Zorn has launched the largest number of foreign wars in the past few hundred years among the four countries. "
"I guess I don't even need to talk about Sligo. Their first emperor claimed to be different from the nobles of Melias and kept his word, but he turned around and deceived the dragon and opened up the future of Sligo. Hundreds of years of dragon-slaying celebration.”
Feeling that Lu Yu was a little tired from talking, Sera took over the conversation tacitly.
"It's not important what you say, but what you do is important. With today's promise, as long as the group of people who get the benefits are promoted to their own class, they will be completely cut off from the groups they have been in. Their positions will not allow them to Betray yourself and live like a frog in warm water for five or ten years. The past is like smoke. Those promises have been modified and colored. Even if the people below read something from them, what can they do?"
Lu Lu was not stupid, but sometimes she couldn't turn a corner. When she heard what the two said, she suddenly became sad and angry.
"You have worked hard to provoke Tanya to rebel against the school, shake their rule, lead Zenil down, and promote the re-emergence of healthy competition, but in the end, won't you end up falling into the same predicament that has existed for hundreds of years? What if? In this case, what’s the point of our interference..."
"Just like we miss the existence of the glorious era... We need to let the new generation taste the glory that has been away from Mela for too long." Lu Yu rubbed Lu Lu's cheek with his tentacles, "It can't just be in books. It’s a pale and feeble description, and someone needs to bring it back to life.”
Serra smiled and added: "If no one mentions things that are too long ago, they will fade. As the turbulences gradually become the dust in the complicated history, no one will know them anymore. What we are doing is to let those who leave here Light shines on the earth again, making all things shine again, allowing souls struggling in the darkness to feel warmth again, and then... use their hands to write down the words of this era every time when suffering comes. "hope". "
Laurent wrote in the book left to Lu Yu: "Everything in the world is trapped in a spiral."
He is so pessimistic, but he hides his pessimism deeply, carries everything on his back, and staggers forward.
The glorious era gradually became dusty words in books. The streets and alleys no longer mentioned that period of passion and vitality. Under the gray sky, Laurent went retrograde and reappeared in the Theocracy on his own. Leave the glory of Mera.
Laurent mentioned in his notes more than once that he was scolded by Catthorn, who thought he was doing something stupid.
A big stupid thing that I knew I couldn't do, but I insisted on doing it.
"Mao Jing is clearly scolding me, but he is accompanying me in my stupidity... This feels really good."
"In the future, more people will surely understand the meaning of what I have done and take over the glory of their era..."
The last ray of brilliance that symbolized the existence of the glorious era was dim, but Laurende sent the fire to the Dawn Territory with both hands at the last moment.
"We will be like moths chasing light, stealing light from the depths of the spiral."
The night is long, don't forget that there was light here.
This was the common belief of Lu Yu and Sera before starting all planning, and it was also the greatest gift that the Dawn Leader could bring to the continent where they grew up.
Lu Lu fell into silence. After a while, she teased: "You guys were discussing such a big thing, but you didn't even say a word to me... Why, did you exclude me?"
Lu Yu and Sera were stunned.
"We looked for you."
Lu Lu was confused by the unanimous answer: "When?"
"Have you forgotten that when you returned to the Dawn Territory, you took your apprentice to study potions. During the period, we asked you if you wanted to have a meeting together to discuss how to trick Tanya?" Lu Yu explained.
Lulu thought about it for a long time: "It seems... something like this happened... I thought you wanted to vent my anger. Who would have thought that you would use this to make such a romantic and grand plan? It's too much!"
Lu Lu made up her mind that if Lu Yu and Sera planned anything in the future, as long as they called her, they would have to be there!

Sarah's Footprints
Stretching all the way to the territory of Solon, she passed through a large number of densely populated city-states, but she no longer had the mentality of killing people when the Black Corpse Society first emerged.
What she longs for now is magical transformation, which no longer requires simple "death", but the derivation of calmly reintegrating the acquired knowledge.
While the school is being wiped out, the magic that can bring the Necromancer back to life has been pushed to the edge of reach.
Sarah only felt that this knowledge was right in front of her eyes, but it seemed like it was so far away. No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't make a breakthrough.
Recalling that she had undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few months, and that she was strong enough to despise most of the magicians in Meira, she put down the hatred in her heart for the first time and calmly looked down at everything in front of her.
The head that she had not dared to raise since she was a child was held high with ease. Sarah, who was no longer angry at being discriminated against because of her albinism, would even take pleasure in the birth, old age, illness and death of these stupid mortals.
Even if they don't cause death, they are still moving step by step towards the "end" they fear, and the ugly struggle before death is like a performance specially performed to please her. Every time she feels it, she always feels comfortable. .
"Bi Qiu said that I was too sick to relate to the living...Obviously he was wrong."
Sarah stood on the clock tower, overlooking the lights of thousands of houses below. As long as she thought about it, there would be no grass growing here.
"I can clearly see their joys, sorrows, and joys, and I can also understand their fear of death... This is proof that I am still alive. I will feel happy for the acts of kindness, and I will be angry at the actions of the despicable people... Empathy is still in my heart.”
After her battle with the briquettes, Sarah also realized another reason why she would become a pioneer.
Her misery has not ceased since her childhood... As long as she has tasted some warmth, she will not hesitate to switch to necromancy under the persuasion of Gesang, the chief of the Black Corpse Society.
She longed for the salvation that extended from the light countless times, but she was tortured and bruised again and again in suffering.
"This may be my path..."
After thinking about everything, Sarah smiled sadly in the autumn wind.
The communication circle was opened, and the Black Corpse Society's routine communications began.
"Calden, you will take over the actions of the Black Corpse Society, and I will give you all the new necromancy magic that I have learned."
The sudden conversation made Kalden on the other side of the communication circle tremble. He quickly expressed that he had no intention of overstepping his bounds and swore tremblingly.
Realizing that it was her excessive prestige that caused Carlden's misunderstanding, Sarah explained.
"I want to go to other areas of Mela to spread necromancy magic and let the Black Corpse Society develop and grow. I have no intention of leading you alone. Therefore... from today on, you will replace me and become the leader of the Black Corpse Society in Solon."
[In view of the general environment,
"You will decide the future of the Black Corpse Society under your command, that's all."
Sarah then recited the details of the new necromancy magic. After completing all this, she moved forward indifferently.
After breaking the internal magic circle of a potion shop in the city, Sarah entered it easily and freely, and the evil spirits released from her body rushed into the depths of the underground maze like a rolling wave.
She turned a deaf ear to the pitiful howls coming from every corner, walked among the corpses, and smiled at the magicians of the school who were wailing for mercy and granted them a painful death.
Only when the towers of the old era collapse, can the leaders of the new era build their own monuments.
"Sarah, you are asking for death!" A potion master stepped forward and waved the staff in his hand vigorously.
Sarah, who unknowingly stepped into the center of the magic circle, smelled the strong smell of magic potion. The marble in the dome was pulled to both sides by the magic power, revealing a huge urn filled with dark green slurry.
The huge urn tilted, and green waves poured down like a waterfall.
"A potion that can suppress magic power and corrode shields is very good... but it's not enough."
The green slurry was pulled by strange power and flew
In the air, transparent spiritual bodies gradually solidified after swallowing the potion, and human-like expressions appeared in the illusory child holes.
Sarah snapped her fingers, and the Devouring Spirits swam quickly in the void, surrounding several potion masters who were leading the magic circle and the pouring of potions.
"Return it intact."
The sound of corroding flesh and blood and the painful howl like coming from the depths of hell came one after another. The sharp sound and the smell of medicinal herbs mixed with the smell of blood permeated the sealed space, and finally merged into two colors: red and green. The river flows gurgling on the steps, all the way down...
"Too weak... Maybe we should try some more powerful schools?"
While saying this, a shadow suddenly reflected in Sarah's mind.
"The coal briquettes... are coming soon, soon. The moment I throw away the body of the living is the day we meet again."
