Chapter 540 538 The Night Is Long, but We Must Not Forget that There Was Light Here
Chapter 540 538. The night is long, don’t forget that there was light here
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, and he had a clear view of the turmoil in Mera in recent months. He saw the crowds of responders after Tanya raised the flag high, and also saw the school's pressing step by step, and 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 brighten. 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 lightly, looked at the clerk, and explained proudly.
…
…
"Zenir's commitment to one-stop training of magicians and the subsequent opening of high-level magicians' 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 Tanya. 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 Codezon, and Sligona His majesty, the emperor who was supposed to deceive the dragon, first gathered a large number of people 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 and re-division of land and resources were all used by the resisters back then, but they were no more powerful than today's ones. Just a little." Lu Yu asked, "Ke Lulu, 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 citizens of the empire other than 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 would not engage in barbaric warriors who actively expanded externally. He also formulated a large number of preferential policies for farmers and slaves. But more than 20 years after he took office, these promises It has already faded. Today, Codezoun has launched the most foreign wars in the past few hundred years."
"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? "
Lulu was not stupid, she just couldn't turn corners sometimes. 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 is the point of our interference..."
"Just like we miss 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 Lulu's cheek with his tentacles, "It can't just be a pale and weak description in the book, someone needs to bring it back to the world."
Sera smiled and added: "If things that are too long ago are never mentioned, they will fade away. With the repeated turmoil, they will gradually become dust in the complicated history, and no one will know about them anymore. What we are doing is to let the light that has left here shine on the earth again, let all things be bathed in glory again, let the souls struggling and distressed in the darkness feel the warmth again, and then... through their hands, write down the "hope" of this era every time suffering comes in the future."
Laurend wrote in the book he left to Lu Yu: "Everything in the world is trapped in a spiral."
He is so pessimistic, but he hides that pessimism deeply, carrying everything and stumbling forward.
The glorious era gradually became dusty text in books. The streets and alleys no longer mentioned that passionate and energetic time. Under the gray sky, Laurent went against the tide and recreated the glory that had long left Mela in the Theocracy with his own strength.
Laurent mentioned more than once in his notes that he was scolded by Mao Jing, who thought he was doing stupid things.
A big stupid thing that he knew he couldn't do, but he insisted on doing it.
"Mao Jing clearly scolded me, but he accompanied me to be stupid... This feeling is really good."
"In the future, there will definitely be more people who know the meaning of what I did and take over the glory of their era..."
The last ray of glory that symbolizes the existence of the glorious era was dim, but Laurent 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, and we must not forget that there was light here.
This was the common belief of Lu Yu and Sera before all the planning began, and it was also the greatest gift that Dawn Territory could bring to the continent that gave them their growth.
Lulu fell into silence. After a while, she teased, "You discussed doing such a big thing, but you didn't even tell me... Why, you excluded me?"
Lu Yu and Sera were startled.
"We looked for you."
The unanimous answer made Lulu confused: "When?"
"Have you forgotten that when you returned to Dawn Territory, you took the apprentice to study potions. During that time, we asked you if you wanted to have a meeting together to discuss how to trick Tanya?" Lu Yu explained.
Lulu recalled for a long time: "It seems... that's the case... I thought you wanted to vent my anger, who would have thought that you would use this to make such a romantic and great plan, it's too much!"
Lulu made up her mind that if Lu Yu and Sera made any plans in the future, as long as she was called, she would have to be there!
…
…
Sarah’s footprints extended all the way to Solon, passing through a large number of densely populated city-states, but she no longer had the heart to kill people when the Black Corpse Society just rose.
Now she is more eager for the transformation of magic, and this requires not a simple "death", but a deduction after calmly reintegrating the acquired knowledge.
While the school was being wiped out, the magic that can give the necromancer a new life has been pushed to the edge of reach.
Sarah only felt that this knowledge was close at hand, but it seemed to be a world away. No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't break through half a step.
Thinking of the earth-shaking changes she had made in just a few months, her strength was strong enough to despise most of the magicians in Mela, she put down her hatred for the first time and looked down calmly at everything in front of her.
The head that she dared not raise since childhood was raised with ease. Sarah, who was no longer angry about the discrimination against albinism, even felt happy about the birth, aging, illness and death of these stupid mortals.
Even if they don't cause death, they are still walking towards the "end" they fear little by little, and the ugly struggle before death seems to be a performance specially performed to please her. Every time she senses it, she will feel comfortable all over.
"Meigu said that I am sick and can't resonate with the living... Obviously he is wrong."
Sarah stood on the bell tower, overlooking the lights of thousands of houses below. As long as she wanted, there would be no grass growing here.
"I can see their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, and I can understand their fear of death... This is proof that I am still alive. I will be pleased with kindness and angry at the actions of despicable people... Empathy still exists in my heart."
After a battle with Meigu, Sarah also realized another reason why she would become a pioneer.
Her misery has never stopped since childhood... If she had tasted a little warmth, she would not have turned to necromancy without hesitation under the persuasion of Gesang, the chief of the Black Corpse Society.
She had longed for the salvation that extended from the light countless times, but she was tortured and bruised in suffering again and again.
"This may be my path..."
Thinking everything through, Sarah smiled sadly in the autumn wind.
The communication array was turned on, and the routine communication of the Black Corpse Society began.
"Calden, you will take full charge of the Black Corpse Society's actions from now on. I will give you all the new necromancy magic I have realized."
The sudden conversation made Calden on the other end of the communication array tremble all over. He quickly expressed that he had no intention of usurping the throne and swore tremblingly.
Realizing that it was her excessive prestige that led to Calden's misunderstanding, Sarah explained.
"I will go to other areas of Mela to spread the necromancy and make the Black Corpse Society grow and develop. I have no intention of leading you alone, so... from today on, you will replace me and become the leader of the Black Corpse Society in the Solon area."
"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, and 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 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 miserable howls coming from every corner, strolled leisurely among the piles of corpses, and smiled and gave painful death to the school magicians who were wailing for mercy.
Only when the towers of the old era collapsed, the leaders of the new era could build their own monuments.
"Sarah, you are courting death!" A potion master stepped forward and waved his staff vigorously.
Sarah, who had unknowingly stepped into the center of the magic circle, smelled the strong smell of magic potion. The marble of the dome was pulled to the sides by magic power, revealing a giant jar filled with dark green slurry.
The giant jar tilted, and green waves poured down like a waterfall.
"Magic potions that can suppress magic power and corrode shields are very good... but, not enough."
The green slurry was pulled into the air by a strange force. After swallowing the magic potion, the bodies of transparent spirits gradually solidified, and the illusory pupils actually showed human-like spirits.
Sarah snapped her fingers lightly, and the devouring spirits swam quickly in the void, surrounding several potion masters who dominated the magic circle and the pouring of magic potions.
"Return it intact."
The "hissing" sound of corroding flesh and blood and the painful howling that seemed to come from the depths of hell came one after another. The sharp sound and the smell of medicinal herbs mixed with the smell of blood filled the closed space, and finally merged into a river of red and green colors, gurgling on the steps, all the way down...
"Too weak... Maybe I should try some more powerful schools?"
As Sarah muttered this, a shadow suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Coal briquettes... It's almost there, very soon. The moment I throw away my living body, it will be the day we meet again."
