Chapter 671: Miracles
Split? From the very beginning there was no unity and no talk of division.
As a mage, you always pursue endless truth, and maintain a certain amount of respect and friendship for the existence of the same archmage, this is because you are both fellow believers in the pursuit of truth, and showing superficial respect to the gods is only to respect the powerful forces and avoid getting into trouble.
A pure mage will not sincerely bow to the sincerity of any powerful existence, the strength of the opponent will only attract their interest and curiosity, analyze, analyze, imitate and learn from the source of the opponent's strength, and then become more powerful than the opponent.
"It is impossible for a true mage to sincerely believe in gods and the like, because he is only curious about the source of the gods' power, and firmly believes that as long as he analyzes them clearly, he can become more powerful than the gods, and then send the other party to his own dissecting table to verify his research results - Raven, the Archmage of the Council of Truth, 'Blasphemer' Raven."
This point, the most excessive should be the sage civilization, even if the time is reversed, they who explore the mysteries of reincarnation and the soul will eventually embark on this road, and the Tali Republic of the country of the dead is not the same because of this.
As a result, the organization of mages is often loosely united, which is determined by their nature, and it is difficult for researchers who dedicate their bodies and minds to imperial power and power to go further.
Cause? In the world of magic, knowledge is equal to power, and the basis of research and exploration is doubt and analysis.
And this loose alliance is unlikely to produce a strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, at most it is only gathered by virtue of the prestige and connections of a certain senior. And such an alliance. Obviously it can't stand the test.
Esso's early exit. Let this union lose the core of the most important contact, the undead emperors know that it is only a matter of time before they go their own way, so they choose this helpless wave of the whole family.
And once blocked, it is a day for them to go their own way.
Then, what I can do is also in front of me.
“…… Even if you see it in person, it's still unbelievable. ”
We're just sneaking out of the palace now. Dressed in a heavy white wolf skin canopy, wandering the streets.
The Undead Emperor was amazed not by the sophisticated magic technology creation, but by the street vendors, a high-ranking undead skeleton who was selling his bone-style trinkets and children's toys, while the buyers were ordinary citizens with no power.
The two sides bargained to the point of spitting, and it was clear that the high-level skeleton could slap each other to death, but accompanied by a smiling face to explain his design ideas and cost price to them.
And those buyers are obviously very excited, but they still try to grind down the price.
This is actually a very common scenario for buying and selling goods, but the living and the dead do business. Probably not to be seen in other areas.
“…… How could it be, that skeleton general was really trying to please those women. Obviously, he can easily kill the other party. And those women are not afraid at all! ”
I can understand Sandru's mentality, for people like us, no matter how fanciful the intelligence and spies say, we will always be skeptical until we see it ourselves, and many times, even if we see it with our own eyes and hear it with our own ears, we will not take it seriously.
But this time, he paid a surprise visit, and with the undead Emperor's understanding of the fluctuations of the soul, the true or false feelings of the soul in front of him could not deceive him, this seemingly simple buying and selling scene, but it illustrated one thing - in Difende, the living and the dead are ordinary citizens, and in their respective concepts, there is no essential difference.
In this age when power is everything, in a world where the undead equals evil, such a scene is more incomprehensible to Sandru than the forbidden spell.
I believe that such a scene is unique and unprecedented.
There have been cases of the undead and the living coexisting in the same country before, but whether it is the ancient Tali Republic or our Xiluo Empire, the dead and the living are never the same, although the dead and the living are from the same country, they are two parallel lines that do not interfere with each other.
In Ciro, most of the living were slaves and the lower classes, and the upper echelons were all undead.
During the period of the Tali Republic, most people chose to practice necromancy, and the regime and high-ranking officials also disappeared and transferred among the undead masters, and converting into high-level undead was actually the way for the living to get ahead.
It can be said that between the two countries, it is still the enslavement and control of the living by the undead, and the natural gap between the dead and the living makes peaceful coexistence extremely unimaginable.
“…… How did you do that? ”
It was still the question when we met, but I fell into silence, after all, being able to get this far can indeed be called a miracle, a miracle created by many inevitable and accidental at the same time, and it is impossible to replicate.
"Let's talk as we go......"
Walking along the commercial area, even though it has snowed a few times, it is still very prosperous.
The temperature has already reached below zero, even the mule and horse shops have stopped the sound, but the street to play goods, sell goods vehicles are endless, in the past, at this time, the business area should have been closed a long time ago, after all, close to manpower many transactions can not be done, the goods that cannot be transported out are just cumbersome, not commodity.
And now, we are greeted by fleets of people who are rushing back and forth, and for them, the year-end/year-end sale has just begun.
Some of them rode snow versions of sleigh horses (motorcycles), some started with tracked wagons, but many more used the best-selling products of ghost carts.
Skeleton horses, ghost horses, zombie horses, these nightmares in the eyes of the living in the past, now drag sleds, wagons, and wagons, tirelessly moving forward.
In Difende, the creation of magic technology and the creation of necromancy magic, the competition in the means of transportation is becoming more and more fierce, if it is a weekday, ordinary carriages and horses can also participate in their competition, but in this cold winter, it is better for horses to hide in warm stables for the winter, frostbite is a waste of medicinal materials.
Iron horses that rely on magic power do not have the problem of turning off in winter, they also have a lot of snow variants, and the goblins who are good at making money have already taken the opportunity to launch winter sales, but the relatively expensive cost makes them suffer very much in the civilian market.
And a skeleton carriage controlled by an undead apprentice (with two zombie laborers) can be hired for only three gold coins for a day, which is much cheaper than an iron horse that sells for at least 500 gold coins, and has unknowingly occupied more than seventy percent of the winter transportation market.
And because necromancy has low requirements for talent, low learning costs, and can make money, in the necromancy practice is legal Difende, there are more and more such "civilian necromancers", and the employment price is still decreasing......
I walked in silence all the way, but I deserted, but it was Sandru who saw the scene in front of me and realized it.
“…… Linking necromancy to the interests of the populace and dispel their uneasiness? It was indeed a good idea, but the Republic did it back then, and it seems that the effect was quite a bit worse. ”
I shook my head, the common good is not the key and the source, but only the result of the undead being accepted by the world, if the cause and effect are mixed because of the scene in front of me, I will have a headache.
“…… How to say it, this should be an accident that cannot be replicated, and it is also an inevitability......"
My mind went back to the past, it should have been that day, the defeated dead knights hesitantly returned to their homeland with their old battle flags, but they were accepted and welcomed by the residents of Diefonde, who still remembered the will of Arashi.
This is an opportunity and a miracle, the nostalgia for the homeland and the admiration of the heroes of history, the respect for this undead knight, and the guarantee of the Arashi royal family and my own return, so that the people of Arashi accepted this undead army.
The Dead Knights were once members of the Arashi Royal Knights, and they loved the land deeply, and repented of how they could harm the living if they didn't protect their people in the past.
For the living, these undead knights are the heroes who guarded the country in the past, and under the guidance of Princess Renee, the heroic knights who returned with Prince Roland, they know admiration and trust.
Trust requires the efforts of both parties, but the fortuitous return reaches the best choice, and the dead begin to be accepted by the living.
And just like this, it is not enough, with the activity of the undead knights, the royal knights are scattered to the core of various industries in the Arashi country, alchemy, military, winter hunting, and even the construction industry, the activity of these guardian knights has greatly improved the lives of the people, and also greatly narrowed the relationship between the living and the dead.
Taking this as an opportunity, the spread of common sense of the undead, the ancestral knights are still guarding their reality, eliminating the prejudice of the Lan people against the undead, and making Difender a holy place in the dreams of necromancers, and countless necromancers have traveled thousands of miles to come here.
And the reason why it is said to be a miracle is because the subsequent development met a miracle, the establishment of the city of innocence, so that strange undead can also be proven innocent, when the world has no prejudice, friendship and trust can be established.
After that, it was the benefits brought about by the great development of necromancer, as well as the openness of the practice of necromancers, and at this time, there was a soil for the living and the dead to get along with each other equally.
It can be said that it is simple to say, the scene in front of me is the result of countless coincidences, even including the miracles of the sleepless, but it also has its inevitability, without the return of my knights, without these lovely people who accepted the ancestral knights, without the battle banner of Lan that has guarded this land for thousands of years, there is no possibility of miracles happening.
I have no intention of hiding these things, and with my statement, Sandru also fell silent, he was thinking, remembering, and making important decisions in his heart.
"Replicate a scene like this somewhere else? It's impossible for a short time, but the land doesn't reject the undead, you see it...... So, what do you think of the Tali Republic, which is directly related to our future choices. If you think that the Republic of Tali is the country of those old people, and that the country of the dead can be revived, then we have nothing to talk about, and if you think that the civilization of the past is a cultural inheritance, perhaps, we have a lot of room for communication. (To be continued.) )
