Chapter 175 The Interlude of Sword Lady - Part 2

"Why are you interested in this organization? If you want to join an interest club, wouldn't the drama club be more suitable for you?"

Sonia saw Felix get into the driver's seat. She thought about it and chose to sit in the back row. She stretched out comfortably on the leather sofa and answered casually: "I joined the drama club last semester. It’s just a playground where a few medium-quality women compete with each other. The service staff are a dozen low-quality men who circle around them. The prizes are one or two high-quality men... But last year’s prizes didn’t quite suit my taste, and I felt like it was nothing. I just want to quit the drama club."

"Do you quit the drama club until you get bored..."

"Since you know the Four Pillars of God, you must also know that it is not a boring society where boys and girls find reasons to mate." Sonia took out a wet wipe and wiped the sweat on her neck and said, "In other words, it is more boring than that kind of society. Societies are much more dangerous.”

Felix tapped his fingers on the steering wheel lightly, "Theoretically, there shouldn't be any information about the Four Pillar Cult in the Kingdom of Stars... Do you mind telling me where you got this name?"

"The Magician's Manual in the Void Realm."

"...If you mind, you can just say you mind." Felix said calmly: "There is no need to provide such completely unfalsifiable evidence. The information obtained from the magician's manual does not have any legal effect, or even credibility. They are all discounted, you should have seen "The Legendary Treasure", right?"

"Of course, I've seen the version with Deida Rose five times!" Speaking of this, Sonia didn't feel sleepy anymore, "But I really saw it from the magician's manual."

"The Legendary Treasure" is a well-known fable in the Kingdom of Stars. It has been shown on the light screen many times. The content of the story is not complicated. To put it simply, there is a legendary treasure in the virtual world, but no one knows where it is. The protagonist is a new magician. During his adventure in the virtual world, he got a golden magician's manual, which describes the correct rituals for obtaining legendary treasures. However, in order to perform the rituals, the protagonist needs to delve into the magic faction. , summon the required magic spirit.

When the protagonist arranges the ritual and activates the miracle, the legendary treasure door appears, but behind the door is not a treasure, but tens of thousands of tentacles and boundless darkness. The protagonist wanted to resist, but he didn't expect that all his magic spirits would surrender and run towards the treasure door.

It turns out that the magic factions and magic spirits required to complete the ritual are just to make the summoner more 'palatable'. The Treasure Gate is not very powerful, but for every summoner who studies rituals, it is just the right natural enemy, turning the summoner completely into food for whatever he wants!

The story ends with a young magician who has just entered the virtual realm. After finally defeating the magician's projection, a golden magician's manual is revealed...

This fable naturally teaches everyone to work hard and not to expect unexpected wealth. But for magicians, this story has another layer of warning - the intelligence and knowledge in the magician's manual is very dangerous.

"If you only know about this organization from the magician's manual, there is no need to investigate in such detail, right? Since you found me, it means you have already checked it in the library, right? Why didn't I know you had such strong curiosity? Are you saying that the swordsmanship training arranged by Professor Trozan for you was not enough?"

"Tsk, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. Just drive me back to my dormitory."

"Doubt is not the same as rejection. I hate your self-righteous way of thinking." Felix stepped on the accelerator and reversed the car: "But I don't know much about the Four Pillar Cult. After all, as I said, you don't There was no known knowledge of this organization from any written source, and the Empire very thoroughly destroyed all information."

"I also heard about this sect occasionally when I was hanging around in aristocratic circles, but when I mentioned it, it was mostly out of curiosity. According to my understanding, the four pillars of the Four Pillar Cult represent four codes of conduct, namely, tyrants who rule with violence, and those who rule with conspiracy. The treacherous figure, the loving father who was tortured by despair, the prince who was drowned in joy... You can probably guess that the only one among the four pillars favored by the nobles is naturally the prince of joy, who symbolizes pleasure."

Sonia put her hands on the driver's seat in front of her and asked, "So...does the Four-Pillar Cult exist in the Kingdom of Stars?"

"It doesn't exist." Felix shook his head: "The premise for the existence of all sects is that people have a need for spiritual sustenance, or the reality makes people feel dissatisfied, so they choose to pray for the salvation of a great being. The stars are a great country, and there is no The soil upon which heretical sects grew.”

"Didn't you just say that there are nobles who believe in the Four Pillars of God in pursuit of excitement?"

"Everyone will have ideas that they think are correct at any time. Childishness is a stage that everyone must go through, and nobles are no exception." Felix said, "But the reason why nobles are nobles is because of the titles they bring. His glory will protect them from childishness and evil.”

""You cannot become a minister without a title, and you cannot govern a county without a nobleman"... You should have memorized the "Nobility Act" and know why nobles have status and rights that are superior to ordinary people, right? "

"Blessings from the stars." Sonia said: "It is said that every noble who is officially knighted will be blessed by Her Majesty the Queen, and from then on he will become wise, powerful, fair and strict... In fact, this is indeed the case."

The class barriers in Fanxing are very strict. If you are not a noble, no matter how talented a magician you are, you will never be able to control the real power of the empire.

However, the restriction is only 'noble'. If you can inherit the title of nobility through marriage, or have made great achievements and have Her Majesty the Queen personally confer a title, no matter how you become a member of the nobility, then you will have access to the ruling class. Tickets, whether you can become an important minister of the country depends on your ability.

In this era of highly developed information exchanges, if Sonia was even slightly arrogant, her classmates would spray her with more than ten pages of comments on the Curtain Forum. However, such obvious class discrimination did not cause any waves in the Kingdom of Stars.

Even Sonia, who has felt that society owes her a throne since she was a child, thinks the aristocratic system is very good.

Because nobles are really good.

Fair and strict, not afraid of difficulties, studious and dedicated, this is the world's impression of nobles. Whether he is a libertine wandering among the flowers or a greenhouse flower that even a mosquito has never seen, he will become stable and mature the moment he inherits the title and becomes a noble, becoming a pillar of society who can contribute to the kingdom of stars and do his best to protect the masses. Do not be selfish, do not seek selfish interests, do not mess around, and are not lazy.

The reason for all this is because of the ‘blessings of the stars’.

The textbook describes the blessing of the stars in one sentence: "Let the nobles awaken to their responsibilities." In the past, Sonia thought it was just an empty talk, but after she came to Kalashi and learned more about the perfect integration of the aristocratic system and the bureaucracy, she realized that this sentence was actually true.

"Those things you mentioned are all side effects. There is only one core influence of the Blessing of the Stars." Felix glanced at the distant night stars: "It allows the nobles to remain absolutely loyal to the stars."

"Absolutely loyal?" Sonia was startled: "Brainwashing and domination?"

"It can't be considered brainwashing." Felix thought for a while and said: "For example, Sonia, you value your mother very much, you also like to make money, and you are willing to make some contributions to the Star Kingdom, but if you want to divide No matter how high or low, motherhood should be more important than making money, and making money should be more important than benefiting the stars, right?"

"Of course." Sonia paused: "Actually, making money is not much more important than benefiting the stars...unless you make a lot of money."

"So in your heart, mother's priority is the highest, followed by making money, and then the stars. The so-called absolute loyalty is to turn the concept of 'benefiting the stars' into the highest priority, nothing more." Felic Si said: "If it is a complete brainwashing and domination, then the nobles must have resisted long ago. No one wants to become a puppet who has lost himself."

"The power of the blessing of the stars is that it only allows the nobles to regard the stars as the most important objects of protection, but it does not take away the nobles' other spiritual sustenance, such as family, lovers, children, and hobbies. If during the statutory vacation, The nobles are almost no different from normal people, and they can also enjoy entertainment and social status that ordinary people cannot achieve."

Felix glanced at the village girl in the rearview mirror: "Even if you know this secret, if given the chance, would you be willing to become a member of the nobility?"

Sonia thought for a while and said, "Maybe she is willing."

Although the blessing of the stars involves brainwashing, Sonia feels that she can accept it if the priority of 'benefiting the stars' is only raised to the highest level. After all, this is the country where she was born and the land where she grew up. If possible, Sonia would definitely hope that the stars would get better and better.

In other words, most people must be willing. After all, benefiting the stars is an admirable life goal. This question is like 'if you want to be a good person, the price is that you become rich' - who I don’t want to!

"So you should also understand why the Four-Pillar God Cult does not exist in the Kingdom of Stars." Felix said: "Under the fair and selfless rule of the nobles, the people of the country live and work in peace and contentment, and their living standards are improving year by year. The Four Pillar God Cult cannot affect any social class at all. .”

"You can't find any information about the Four Pillars of God. On the one hand, the empire was destroyed, and on the other hand, no one needs the Four Pillars of God."

"Sects that are not needed by the people will naturally be swept into the garbage heap."

The car stopped on the road in front of the dormitory area. Felix pressed the button to open the rear door and said, "That's all I know about the Four Pillars of God. Do you have anything else to ask?"

"No." Sonia shook her head: "Actually, I'm just curious."

"I don't care where you heard this name, but as a friend, I give you a piece of advice - don't pursue the Four Pillar Cult anymore."

"Why?"

Felix turned around and looked into Sonia's eyes.

"Because it's a waste of time." She said: "You are a genius swordsman and you don't have free time to waste on such boring things. I think you are not saturated with training. It seems that you need to report to Professor Trozan tomorrow that you are not doing your job properly... "

"I always feel that you have become very arrogant today," Sonia said without any timidity: "Is it because you don't have to duel with me tomorrow? Why don't I ask the professor to apply to check your study progress during the day? I can get a newspaper Fight with you..."

"You are so annoying! I hate you!"

Sonia got out of the car with a smile, leaned towards the car window and said, "Thank you, see you tomorrow."

Seeing Sonia jumping into the girls' dormitory building, Felix let out a long sigh of relief. He felt like his brain would boil if he talked to this village girl for a while longer.

"Um?"

The steering wheel was stained with blood, and when she looked closely, she saw blood oozing from the glove on her left hand.

Felix's palm was scratched by Sonia just now, but he never dared to take off his gloves for treatment. Now that the village girl has left, she can finally take off her gloves. However, she did not rush to treat the injury, but put her left hand in front of her eyes.

In the palm of her left hand, there was a very round... hole that could just accommodate her eyes.

The already beautiful lavender eyes were decorated with round holes and glowed like a kaleidoscope.

Felix looked through the round hole at Sonia who walked into the dormitory building in the distance.

"Who told her about the Four Pillar Cult?" She murmured softly, "I hate this kind of instability."
