Magus Tech Chapter 476: White Crow
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
Li Cha left the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom and rode his horse straight to the north.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
The horse was running fast on the road, and Li Cha was riding on the horse, thinking about some things, most of which were about what he saw in the private library of the King of the Black Sacred Mountain.
From the content of the book, he learned a lot of information about the Black Spirit Empire, but he didn't notice anything while reading it. But in the past few days, after slowly digesting it, a lot of doubts arose.
According to what we have learned, the Black Spirit Empire that once existed can be roughly divided into two periods.
In the previous period, the overall atmosphere of the Black Spirit Empire was extremely relaxed, and all industries flourished.
Wizards and ordinary people live harmoniously in the territory, under the powerful official rule, without any external threats. And internally, there is no oppression, just like a harmonious society.
In this environment, wars, rebellions, and the like do not exist at all, and the only thing that is considered conflictual may be various competitive games.
For example, the fireball competition: invite many wizards, limit the use of the simplest fireball technique to continuously attack tiny targets quickly thrown from all directions, score points according to the number of hits, and the one with the highest score will be rewarded generously and great honor.
Another example is a Dicos ball game in which wizards and ordinary people cooperate: by competing for a Dicos ball and putting the ball into a specific area to score. In the event, wizards and ordinary people have their own exclusive positions, they cannot be confused, and they must strictly abide by certain rules, otherwise they will be sent off by the referee. This event is sought after by many ordinary people and wizards. Many cities even form special teams to compete with other cities in turn. Every event will be a grand occasion.
From Li Cha's point of view, it's like the Wizarding World version of shooting competitions and football leagues.
It can also be seen from the side that the Black Spirit Empire allows most people to gather regularly, and it is definitely not made by a totalitarian empire under high-handed rule-the current rumors on the east coast are wrong.
In fact, according to the records in the book, the Black Spirit Empire was definitely a beautiful country that everyone yearned for during this period, and even ordinary people could find their own value.
Because in the empire, wizards are only regarded as a special kind of talent, and their status may be higher than that of ordinary people, but it is definitely not too exaggerated. As for the officials that rule the Black Spirit Empire, except for the highest level, the Black Spirit King, most of the rest are not hereditary, but are selected to accept their fate, and even require the approval of public opinion.
Therefore, if an ordinary person is talented and willing to work hard, even if he cannot become a wizard, he can still have a higher status than a wizard.
Although there is no more detailed description of this way of ruling, Li Cha still smells a combination of feudalism and modern democracy.
If you guessed correctly, the political system of the Black Spirit Empire should be a hybrid of absolute monarchy and constitutional monarchy. This has completely surpassed the medieval era in which the world is currently in. After all, according to the situation in the Middle Ages, most countries still practiced the most primitive feudal separatist monarchy.
That is to say, the king distributes the territory to many big lords through canonization, and the big lords then distribute to small lords, and canonize at a level. It seems that the king has the right to rule the entire country, but except for the territory directly under him, he cannot manage the fiefdoms of the big lords at all. Ambitious big lords will even unite many small lords to fight against the king.
The system of the Black Spirit Empire is obviously very advanced, and the advanced ones are a bit unreasonable.
However, this situation changed again in the later stage.
According to records, after the first few decades of the Black Spirit Empire, the relaxed atmosphere gradually tightened from top to bottom, entertainment activities were constantly restricted, and all kinds of competitive competitions were cancelled, replaced by a large number of conscription and training .
Numerous wizards were also gathered together to collectively develop joint spells with huge lethality. In addition, numerous agencies similar to the "secret police" were established, either openly or secretly, to monitor all aspects of the entire empire, as if to capture some deeply hidden enemies to ensure the overall security of the empire.
This gives people the feeling that the Black Spirit Empire is preparing for a national war. Because of lack of confidence, it has to run at full speed and even squeeze the state machine.
But the question is, who is the target of the Black Spirit Empire's war?
According to records, the Black Spirit Empire has unified the entire east coast, and even the islands in the sea, such as Lisbon Island, are also under the jurisdiction of the Black Spirit Empire.
The only ones that can be the enemy of the Black Spirit Empire are the "Smans Island" in the far distance, or the main body of Mann Continent, which is blocked by many mountains on the east coast.
To attack "Smans Island", you must have a powerful fleet across the entire sea. To attack the "main body of Mann Continent", when it is almost impossible to cross thousands of mountains and natural dangers, it can only detour from the sea, and a powerful fleet is also required.
According to the records, the Black Spirit Empire did not develop a fleet, but instead developed land power crazily and increased the number of "secret police" agencies crazily.
The feeling is that the enemy does not come from outside ~IndoMTL.com~ but from within.
As for whether this war broke out in the end and who the enemy was, there are no records in the books, but the result is already known-the destruction of the Black Spirit Empire.
From a comprehensive point of view, it can be concluded that the great changes and even the demise of the Black Spirit Empire were all caused by one factor.
It is precisely because of this factor that the Black Spirit Empire entered the next stage from the previous stage, and finally perished, leaving rumors of "brutal rule".
But what is this factor?
Li Cha was puzzled by this, but he knew in his heart that as long as he understood this, he should also be able to understand the ultimate secret of the Black Spirit King, understand the missing history, and then understand a deeply buried truth in the current world. In this way, it can also bring him one step closer to his ultimate goal.
I hope that Moore in the north will have relevant clues.
Thinking so, Li Cha rode forward. The next moment, he suddenly sensed something was wrong, pulled the horse's rein to stop the horse, turned his head to look at a tree by the roadside, and frowned slightly.
Because of the entry of the cold moon, the leaves on the nearby trees have almost withered, and they look bare.
And on the bare tree branch, a crow stood.
It is somewhat noticeable that crows are not black, but white all over, like white doves—maybe there is a saying that "the crows in the world are as black", but in fact there are white crows, but they are rare.
But what made Richard stop and frown was not the color of the crow's feathers, but the crow's gaze. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Cha felt that the white crow standing on the tree branch was looking at him like a person. ...
