Although the residents of Minghe Town live a comfortable life, they have not seen much of the market.

This kind of elegance and ancient etiquette they had only seen in the Storm Collector and the Light Priest in the suburbs.

Even their mayor is not qualified to use this etiquette.

According to Mayor Grapes, this ritual is known as the Rite of Nobility, and is only available to priests of the Holy See of Light and earthly nobles, not ordinary commoners.

The stranger in the gorgeous robe in front of him, since he was so familiar with this kind of etiquette, must also be a great man!

At least, it's not something that they, the small townspeople, can offend.

The blacksmith patted the linen coat on his body, and his swarthy face was a little red, and he looked a little cramped.

I saw that he put the pipe in his hand on the stone table next to him, and hurriedly waved his hand at Lang Xing and said:

"Distinguished guest, please forgive me for being rude."

"Since you have no ill will towards Minghe Town, then we will always welcome you!"

It's a hierarchical world.

Lang Xing glanced sideways slightly, and looked at all the residents gathered around him.

In his sight, all the residents of Minghe Town changed their attitude towards him from the previous wariness to respect and curiosity, with a trace of fear in them.

It's just a courtesy, why did it cause such a big reaction

As a lifelong advocate of freedom and democracy, it was difficult for him to understand this feeling.

It's like an eagle soaring in the sky, and it will never know what the grass hare on the ground thinks.

The world needs revolution!

In such a backward and ignorant world, there must be no hope for their future.

Ordinary low-level commoners will live their lives, and if they don't have major opportunities, they basically can't get out of the commoner class and become nobles.

And if the aristocracy does not encounter major changes, then the torch will be passed on from generation to generation, hereditary replacement, and the whole life will live on the throne of power, overlooking the people of the world.

This will not be beneficial to the progress of civilization in the slightest, but will hinder its own development, so that this world will still be at the original level of civilization after a thousand years, or even ten thousand years later, and will even regress.

At this moment, Lang Xing began to have some thoughts in his heart.

However, the implementation of these ideas can only be turned into plans after seeing another supernatural power.

After thinking for a moment, Lang Xing walked slowly along the transcendent aura he had sensed before.

And the residents of Minghe Town next to it did not step forward to stop them.

With awe in their eyes, they looked at Lang Xing who was striding forward from afar, and none of them dared to continue to talk.

This is the impression of authority that the aristocracy has left on the commoners for thousands of years.

Just as the God of Light is the creator of the world, unchanging and unquestionable.

Following the transcendent atmosphere, Lang Xing gradually stopped in front of a small cabin.

Seeing that some green moss had grown on the wooden wall in front of him, he didn't need to guess Lang Xing to know that this wooden house had been some years old.

Otherwise, it would not be so quaint and old.

Knock knock!

The index finger and middle finger were slightly bent, and Lang Xing slowly knocked on the door of the wooden house in front of him.

"Who's out there?"

An impatient voice rang out from within.

The voice sounded a little hoarse, with some impatience, and it could be seen that the temper of the voice owner would not be too good.

"Mr. Doug, I'm a scholar from afar."

"When I passed by Minghe Town, I heard that there were rumors about you here, so I came to visit."

"May the splendor of knowledge bless you, seeker of truth!"

When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk nonsense.

For a scholar, knowledge is the greatest affirmation of him.

In this world, knowledge is extremely scarce, and 90% of the common people are mostly illiterate.

But there are also a very small number of people who have the desire to learn.

In the impression of Pastor Minghe, that group of people was called scholars.

In the Nine Great Terran Noble Kingdoms, there are more than a dozen academies.

These academies were formed spontaneously by Terran scholars to teach the world knowledge.

It's a pity that it is not favored by the mainstream aristocracy.

The nobles of all levels of the major kingdoms are more willing to send their sons and eldest sons to the Holy See to receive enlightenment, become priests, or knights blessed by the Holy Light, rather than let them learn knowledge and obtain inheritance.

Only the second son, who is not taken seriously, or who has no inheritance rights, will be sent by them to learn knowledge and become scholars to earn a living.

One can imagine how awkward the position of scholars should be in such a situation.

Sure enough, hearing Lang Xing's polite words, Doug behind the door immediately moved.

After a brief silence, the old wooden door creaked open from the inside.

A sour smell of the medicine slowly poured out from inside, and then a figure came out of it.

Looking at Doug, who was full of sloppy beard and ragged clothes in front of him, Lang Xing couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

With extraordinary strength, it stands to reason that no matter how down-and-out he is, he shouldn't be mixed up in this field.

And the smell of rancid sourness in that room. How the hell did it work?

How did this man stand it?

"You're a scholar?"

Doug opened his eyes, looked at Lang Xing carefully, and asked abruptly and with some restraint.

"Aren't you? Mr. Doug. ”

"We are all essentially seekers of truth."

Putting away the doubts in his heart, Lang Xing turned to smile and said.

He didn't lie to Doug.

In a sense, there is no essential difference between him and these so-called scholars.

Cultivation is also a process of pursuing the truth.

"No, no, no, I'm nowhere near that level yet."

"I'm just an apprentice in pursuit of knowledge, and I can't afford to be called a scholar."

"But Mr. Lang, you are really a scholar of truth?"

Hearing Lang Xing's compliment, Doug was a little embarrassed, and after rejecting it again and again, he asked the young man in front of him with some suspicion.

He has studied the knowledge for more than ten years, but he still stays outside the gate and is not allowed to enter.

And this young man in front of him, since he calls himself a scholar?

Could it be that he is an academic scholar from outside the Stormwind Realm?

At this moment, Doug felt that his heart was skipping a beat.

It should be known that the knowledge he is studying now is just the introductory knowledge that the academy studied a long time ago.

Rao is so, it makes him feel so profound.

It's hard to imagine how lucky this unattractive young man in front of him would be if he was really a real scholar.

Once Doug, he was also a devout disciple of the God of Light.

But when he met his mentor, everything changed.

He gradually understood that only knowledge can glimpse the reality of the world!

And the God of Light is not the only one in this world, and the whole world is not something that the God of Light can dominate!

In the introductory course on mathematics, there is an interesting hypothesis.

This was made by Isaac, a legendary university scholar known as the source of gravity.

The hypothesis is that a god can create a stone that he can't lift himself?

The answer is obvious.

Although it was sophistry, when Doug saw this hypothesis, his heart throbbed.

This is a great blasphemy against the God of Light, a denial of His abilities!

But when you think about it, this assumption makes sense.

From this moment on, Doug found himself as if a door to the forbidden had opened.

astrology, which allowed him to see what the vast starry sky is; Mathematics taught him what the power of method is; biology, which made him understand the mystery of evolution; The study of history finally made him awaken to understand what sacrifices human beings have made in pursuit of knowledge.

Before the Philemerald, in order to awaken knowledge, in front of the world's magnates and popes, the celestial scholar and scholar pioneer Copernicus dared to question the God of Light.

His heliocentric doctrine, although it has been demonstrated by generations of astrologists, is no longer entirely true.

But his spirit has been passed on forever in the hearts of all scholars.

As pioneers of scholars, the Copernicus Fellows transmitted a vital idea to all scholars who came to life.

That is, truth is not necessarily infallible.

It can be overthrown with the passage of time, the progress of civilization!

There is no such thing as an absolute right thing, not even God!

These words are hindered by the Holy See, and the scholarly organization is not explicitly included in the knowledge system.

But the minds they transmit to the bachelors, exactly that!

In order to support the bachelor Copernicus and attack the papal system of the Church of Light, Galil, the most radical prince in the history of the Stormwind Kingdom, bravely set off the first shot of the secular royal rebellion, and ended up in a life imprisonment.

Bruno, the legendary scholar of biology, who created one of the three major systems of scholars, held high the crown of truth in the Roman Kingdom, bravely followed and defended the heliocentric theory created by the Copernicus bachelors, and openly confronted the pope, so that the free brilliance of scholars was once again spread in the world!

Although Bruno was eventually surrounded by the Holy See, and was condemned to be burned alive by the miracle of the god of light in the central flower square of the Roman imperial capital, the knowledge he left behind has inspired generations of rebellious scholars.

In modern history, Bruno is known as one of the closest scholars to the gods in legend.

How many people in history can anger the gods?!

Only an equal being of threat will cause the gods to wrath!

Although this scene hit the power of knowledge in a short period of time, in the long run, it also became a more exciting spiritual pillar for scholars.

Isn't God equal and merciful to all men?

Then why would they send a divine punishment to kill the herdsmen in their own pastoral area in front of the public?!

Why can't God move His mercy to forgive this lost Lamb?

This is an absurd false proposition!

Looking at the sloppy Doug in front of him, who was excited and a little nervous to ask questions to himself, Lang Xing was slightly stunned.

This spirit, this spirit.

Cultivators of the third and fourth orders may not be able to possess the mental nature, but this ordinary first-order transcendent person already has it.

"That's what's interesting about scholars."

Lang Xing thought it was funny.

If the scholars in the system have the spirit of Doug's relentless pursuit of truth, then it is only a matter of time before they overthrow theocracy.

With the passage of time, even if the God of Light was really a sixth-order god who was above the mortal dust, it would not necessarily be able to sit firmly on the altar and never fall.

The spark of knowledge continues to accumulate, and eventually a product comparable to that of the gods can be born.

If everything is the same as Lang Xing thinks, then I am afraid that the real all-round confrontation between theocracy and knowledge is not far away.

"Yes, I'm an academic."

"Look."

Poof.

Tiny flames suddenly emerged from the palms of Lang Xing's outstretched hands.

Instead of extinguishing the flame with the breeze blowing, the flame burned brighter and brighter, emitting a scorching flame that drew Doug's eyes to it.

"Which of the three systems is this?!"

There was a tremor in Doug's voice.

He had never seen such a transcendent power that could be directly emitted without the need for knowledge construction.

He saw nothing left of knowledge in this flame!

This kind of power does not belong to any of astrology, mathematics and biology, it is a magical power that belongs only to the three major scholars!

"Huh?"

Lang Xing, who summoned the flames, flickered slightly, causing the flames in his hands to flicker.

What Lang Xing didn't expect was that a mere first-order transcendent could see the essence of power and know that the flames he summoned did not belong to the scholar's power system.

Seeing this scene, Lang Xing's heart became even more interested in this cultivation system called a scholar.

He was now desperate to know how powerful the organization behind this force really was.

If they are not strong enough, then it is up to them to lead them on the path of rebellion against theocracy.

If it is strong enough, then it will turn into a torch and add the last fire to this burning prairie fire!

City of All Worlds, inside the Council.

Lu Yao's divine thoughts enveloped the entire Ten Thousand Worlds City, quietly watching the members of the Ten Thousand Worlds City exchange items in the trading hall and receive tasks in the mission hall.

[Mission Name: Shang Wang Fatian]

[Mission Level: Dangerous (with 4th ~ 5th Order Cultivators)]

[Task Description: The ancient gods have once again become greedy for the ground, the co-lord of Shenzhou, the big merchant king, wants to gather the power of the human race, raise troops to destroy the sky, and never suffer in the future, hereby recruit warriors in the mission hall to help the great merchants. 】

Watching one task after another being browsed and picked up by travelers from all worlds, Lu Yao smiled at the corner of his mouth.

There are more and more worlds in which the Council of All Worlds communicates.

"Huh?"

The jade pendant on his waist flickered with a faint light, and the white-robed Taoist sensed it in just a moment.

After taking off the jade pendant, Lu Yao knew that this was a situation on his second disciple's side.

Happy birthday to book friends on December 22nd!
