Chapter 16: A Strange Peace

Let's get away from Dragon Island and set our sights on the continent of Arrow, since the nobles revolted, the ranks of the "rebel army" have been growing, not only due to the abundant supplies of the legendary mages, but also because the new nobles in remote places are sometimes more unbearable than the old nobles.

After all, before the reform began, the commoners had nothing to exploit except for a little food and themselves, so after fifteen years of reform, the lives of ordinary people have indeed improved, but in the fringe areas of those reformist forces, where supervision is not enough, the "soil emperors" are still rampant.

And this gave the rebel army a chance to develop.

"Lord Lowry!" While resting in the camp, a young voice attracted Lowry's attention, now he is the number one person in the rebel army, the increase in territory brings the increase in ambition, if originally he just wanted to regain his own title, then now, he wants to build on the original foundation, after all, his army has occupied most of the provinces, and the royal family will definitely give him the title of a duke if he wants to accept his allegiance.

Lori was originally just an earl in charge of a small city, and he had very few fiefdoms, but now, he actually had the opportunity to be promoted to duke, which made Lori can't help but be overjoyed.

Of course, he also knew that his means of raising troops to resist would not be welcomed by the royal family, but firstly, he did not declare his rebellion against the rule of the royal family, and secondly, he did not really exterminate the army belonging to the royal family, so in this case, according to the aristocratic concept in the past, using a duke title to recruit An is naturally the most likely thing to happen, as for the little dissatisfaction in the emperor's heart, as long as he keeps a low profile, after the current emperor dies, will the new emperor remember?

In this way, their Ronggen family has naturally become a serious duke family, and this temptation is naturally irresistible for the old-fashioned Lowry.

It's just a pity that the current Knight Emperor, Her Royal Highness Empress Margot Tril, is busy transforming the royal family, and of all the leaders, she and the Elven Empress are the most sensitive to the current situation.

The old nobles were divided by Mijas, don't look at the fact that there are still some "wise" nobles who are living quite nourishingly, but Mijas has changed the selection conditions of the "nobles" class on the entire Arrow continent, and what is even more disappointing is that Mijas has a long life, and this reform will basically not be overturned.

Margot was confident in her abilities, even if she would be the best in the new world Mijas had designed, but what about her offspring? What about the offspring of future generations? Isn't the most exciting aspect of traditional titles of nobility the hereditary system?

Therefore, in Margotli's opinion, the sword of "power" slowly opens its second edge, and those who are incapable will only be cut by the sword in their own hands.

The Elven Empress saw something else, when the social division of labor began, the populous human race began to show its advantages, then, for the first time, the racial problems that had not been noticed in the past appeared in front of the Elven Empress.

Especially, after Mijas has made the matter of half-race clear.

Of course, the Elven Empress believed that there would be no such thing as various races going to war with each other, and that years of harmony would not only bring ideological tolerance, but also that the existence of half-breeds would be the biggest reason to prevent war.

But in a society, there is always the problem of resource distribution, and how to win more resources for her race in the future big society is the main problem that the elf queen is currently thinking about.

Like Margetelli, she had no doubt that Mijas would succeed, but Margot had more trust in Mijas herself, but the Elves and Dragons had a close relationship, and the Elven Empress trusted the entire race.

Then, invariably, they set their sights on something new, wealth.

Or rather, wealth independent of power.

Compared with the "power" on the cusp, family wealth can be said to be quite inconspicuous, in the past days, people without power could not protect their wealth, but with the legal system advocated by Mijas slowly unfolding, this attribute seems to have the possibility of independence.

What's more, as the empress of the elves and the human race, they themselves stand at the pinnacle of power, even if their current wealth still needs the protection of power, they are definitely capable of doing so.

Well, in the future, maybe no one in the clan will have enough power to hold on to the double-edged sword called power, but enough wealth will also ensure that the family can wait for someone with enough talent to appear.

Based on this factor, Margot Trilli, together with the Elven Queen, gave the green light to the development of the financial industry and stepped up preparations for various consortia. The only difference is that Margot Tri is preparing a family consortium, while the Elven Empress is a race consortium.

Therefore, the bigwigs are struggling to grab the new cake while it is baked, so naturally they don't have the energy to take care of the rebels' tireless efforts to the moldy cake.

Just as Margot Tri said after hearing that the rebels had taken over half of the province.

"A group of short-sighted people, don't care about him, they can't make a name for themselves."

Yes, because they still have the dream of being promoted and making a fortune, the rebels don't dare to make too many moves at all, plus they were originally formed by local civilians, so they naturally won't choose to destroy their property, except for some new nobles who quickly degenerate and then "crusaded" are still wandering around asking for help, it seems that everything is quiet.

Of course, this peace will not last long, the rebels are not fools, and after waiting for the dream of Zhao'an to be shattered, will they do irrational things out of anger? No one knows, but one thing is for sure, the bigwigs behind the rebels, those legendary mages, are unwilling to keep the dreaming rebels waiting.

After all, their purpose was not to owe allegiance to the royal family.

Since the call for the old forces to counterattack failed, the legendary mages decided to think differently, and took advantage of the popularity of the education project launched by Mihas, and they began to add their own private goods in this area.

Of course, the change of the textbook needs to be done by Mijas himself, which is difficult to do.

But the teachers who teach are all Dharma masters at the beginning! It's not too easy to let your apprentices and grandchildren "extend" or something during class, okay?

For example, "human rights", "freedom", such lofty slogans and banners, can best stir the hearts of those casual teenagers, right?

In the beginning, it didn't go well, after all, for thousands of years, people have become accustomed to the protection of professionals, and they have also become accustomed to respecting those who protect themselves.

Until that day, an event happened that shocked the entire Arrow continent.

After Mijas provided a magic circle that could gather energy on its own, new types of magic items continued to appear, which gave those civilians who had little force also the ability to protect themselves, but because of the lack of technical level, the most powerful magic item now is just to launch a fireball technique.

Of course, this is not to say that the fireball technique is weak, in fact, the power of this three-ring magic is even more powerful than many four-ring spells, and "powerful" is the widespread impression left by the fireball technique.

However, for higher-level opponents, the three-ring spell is indeed not enough to see, as long as it is a professional above level 10, as long as there is a little combat experience or talent, it is unlikely to be planted in the hand of a fireball technique.

Mages are always dying, though, aren't they? With only enough skill to craft the Three Rings of Magic, a legendary mage tried to craft a new scroll for the seven-ring spell "Firestorm".

In fact, this mage is definitely amazingly talented, and the main reason that currently restricts everyone from making higher-end magic props is that the magic circle provided by Mijas is not efficient enough, and the magic power required to provide a three-ring spell is already the limit, and no matter how high it is, it will fail due to insufficient energy supply.

Every day, there are countless mages trying to improve this magic circle, but unfortunately, none of them have succeeded.

The choice of this legendary mage is the Tataroch crystal, which is currently the only thing on the continent of Airo that can spontaneously generate magic power except for Mijas's magic circle, using a Tataroch crystal as a "battery", using the massive amount of magic generated when this crystal detoflages, he successfully made the "Firestorm" scroll, the kind that anyone can use!

But, I guess you'll be able to guess what I'm going to say, this scroll has a very huge drawback, the energy it needs, the Taitaroch crystal is so precious, even a legendary peak mage, it takes a month, and he can only make a piece of Taitarochi crystal that is enough to give the spell function of the seven to nine rings.

However, this did not affect the uproar caused by this incident in the slightest.

Even if due to the inherent defects of the Tatarochi Crystal, this kind of scroll will explode after being stored for more than two months, even if it is completely in a situation of "priceless and no market" due to the high cost of raw materials.

Just because of one point, the Tatarocchi crystal can devour magic power, so all kinds of vigilance spells are ineffective against it, which means that a civilian can take it to a legend, and then die together when the other party is completely unprepared!

The days when the legends were high up seemed to have finally cracked a small crack.

What's even more ironic is that it is the legends themselves who drag the legends off the altar.

The most ironic thing is that since the Tetarochi Crystal can only be made by Legends, in fact, this "event" will still only be a BigGame between Legends.
