"Gandalf, do you think that human civilization, which can build magic furnaces again, can surpass the previous civilization?"
In the castle restaurant in White Wolf City, Lant asked Gandalf his question.
"Can the human empire really maintain awe, compassion, kindness, and curiosity, continue to explore the future, and become a greater civilization like it did hundreds of years ago?"
The sooner there are more magic furnaces in the future, but can the magic produced by these magic furnaces really make those legendary families put aside their prejudices and explore the unknown world together? Let more demon-free people enjoy a better life?
Or will it only create hundreds of legends and demigods who divide the magic power, create countless golden currencies, and even create a new round of annihilation for the dragon clan?
Lant had the answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
At the dining table, the old mage looked at Lant with a kind smile.
Around Lant, the girls looked surprised, wondering why he suddenly asked such a profound question.
"Your question is very interesting." Gandalf's eyes were deep, as if he were looking up at the entire starry sky through Lant. "The evolution of civilization is always unpredictable and fascinating. It seems that you do not have enough confidence in the current human empire. ah!"
"Yeah, I'm only confident that the empire will make money in the name of the magic furnace." Rant said helplessly. "There are already institutions in the empire that hope to control my ability to create magic furnaces to simply fill the holes they have created for hundreds of years."
"Haha, that's not surprising. I even think it's strange that they haven't tried to use strong means to control you until today."
Lant smiled and said nothing, but he knew in his heart that the empire's institutions did not take action. The main reason was that when the first magic furnace was completed, representatives from the Tower of Purity, the Imperial Academy of Magic and the Red Dragon Rock were all present. The checks and balances between the three companies have given Rand the space it has today.
Now that families are not coming openly, it does not mean that they are not operating secretly. For example, the family in the imperial capital found that the magic furnace could not be installed without Lant, so they began to make plans around Lant.
Just now, Lili told Lant that when Sophia and Jonny were studying in the Salt and Iron Division recently, there were always some aristocratic young people coming over to show their courtesy.
The discussion between Lant and the old mage was fruitless, but someone came to interrupt.
"Your Majesty, please read this hymn." A priest ran over happily, holding a piece of parchment, "I made this specially for you!"
"Good guy, so fast?" Lant was a little surprised at the efficiency of the flame priests, so he came to the parchment and took a rough look at it.
"You dominate and I worship you. I ask for nothing else. Forge of the Demonic Furnace, I will spread your myth..."
After a cursory reading, Lant and the girls fell silent.
"Aren't they going to Yeqi City tonight? Let Qiucao perform a guancou for them!" Lant, who had been silent for a long time, said to Wendy. From this ditty adapted from the scriptures of the Flame Sect, Lant probably understood , why does Hetia look down on them so much.
…
March lifted into the sky, the night was already deep, the dance was over, and the Flame Priest and Gandalf went to Yeqi City.
Tonight, Fiana will take them to visit Galloping Horse Academy and the first magic furnace installed by Lant, and take them to get to know the fire magic fairies in the territory one by one.
Lant was originally going to a small town in western Iowa to accompany the black rabbit in the shell, but was stopped by Lili and Wendy.
At the evening banquet, Lili had been monitoring Prince Durosun's every move. After Wendy picked up Gandalf, she continued to accompany Lili on the surveillance. She didn't even get to hear the wonderful history of the Flame Sect.
So after the dance, the two girls insisted on dragging Dandelion, who was hosting Du Luosong, to report to Lant about the results of the night.
"Sir, Prince Durosong is more cunning than we thought. He took his men directly to the Temple of Life and asked for His Majesty Lucoa's forgiveness, so that Lord Totapara cannot pursue them without authorization."
In the lord's room, Dandelion was the first to report what she knew, "And there is more than one witch among this prince's subordinates. If he were not outside the scope of the religious edict, he would definitely be wanted by the Temple Alliance or even executed. !”
"Witch?" Rant probably understood the word, but he didn't know what type of Dandelian was worthy of it. "Is it a female devil?"
Dandelion shook his head and said: "No, the witch is actually the descendant of the human race and the demon race. As a six-limbed race, the demon race is far closer to magic than humans. Hundreds of years ago, many nobles followed the demon race. to get married,
However, some nobles fell into the demon race due to their fornication, and many secrets of the empire were learned by them, which put the empire into a huge passive position at the beginning of the Demon Tide War 300 years ago.
From then on, His Majesty the God Emperor and His Majesty the Pope of the Temple Alliance jointly issued an edict, strictly prohibiting nobles from having any liaison with any demon clan. Anyone who violates the order can be deprived of all honors and fiefdoms. "
The girl's introduction to the demons, although very general, was very accurate.
"In this way," Lant said with a clear look, but in his heart he once again refreshed his view of the girl in front of him.
"Sir, the matter of witches is actually not that absolute!" Lili looked at Lant and said quickly, "300 years ago, most nobles, including the legendary families in the imperial capital, would marry into the Feather Clan and the Demon Clan.
Because the probability of activating the bloodline of the offspring of a marriage once exceeded 30%. You also know that in an area where magic elements are completely divided, the higher the activation probability of one family will only lower the activation rate of other families. "
Before Lili could finish speaking, Wendy said: "However, after the war of the God Emperor ended in 725 and the religious edict was issued, all the descendants of the demons in the empire suddenly disappeared. Only the bloodline activation rate of the big family was higher than that of the war. They have improved a lot. Could it be that their ancestors blessed the big family?"
"Isn't that a joke? Many ancestors of big families are still alive today."
Although he was joking, Danrant understood that those families could not give up any opportunity to increase the probability of bloodline activation. Once the real threat of the demons was eliminated, they would definitely plunder all the demon bloodlines and do everything possible to make them serve Own.
"Okay, I understand what you mean. Dulosson is right, his camp is indeed outside the scope of the edict," Lant decided to end the topic of the witch, "And in the afternoon, the God of Life asked Tuotapala The oracle has spoken and the witch has been absolved of her guilt.”
In the afternoon, when Lant heard what Tuotapala said for the first time, he was also surprised. The crime of cutting off faith was not something that an ancient god could easily forgive, even if the witch objectively helped the Frostwolf refine himself. of inner demons, preparing for a further step.
However, after seeing the petite loli witch in the castle at night, Lant seemed to have a glimmer of understanding and probably understood His Majesty Lucoa's thoughts.
