Mr. Smith didn't care about the three people who weren't planned, because whether it was indirect or direct—

As long as you have been exposed to the supernatural knowledge and profound wisdom bestowed by the Great Being, it is impossible to continue to be an ordinary person.

Feel the thoughts of the ancient gods, gain their great and profound wisdom, and comprehend more non-human upper knowledge......

And after understanding and mastering the inhuman knowledge sent by the gods, then it also means that the insight into the truth of the world is improved, and the more things you know, the more you can observe the unspeakable things in this world.

This act in itself is tantamount to a human tendency to madness, and the result of madness is to see more of the truth of the world.

And the more confrontation there is, the deeper it will fall, and eventually it will lead to an unimaginable self-destructive fate. On the contrary, if you accept it, you will not be tortured by those things, and you can still maintain a rational and calm mind, because such a person has accepted the thoughts of the gods and agrees with them.

Their personality, spirit, and will do not need to be tested against each other, so naturally they will not suffer. Moreover, their invisible connection with the gods will become closer and closer, and there will be an irreversible transformation, which can be regarded as a semi-dependent trend.

But this shift is a good thing from Mr. Smith's point of view.

……

……

After another month, the apprehensive Inspector Lestrade and Dr. Watson realized that Golden Dawn had really not continued to stare at them, and that they were also troubled by their mental state.

In addition, as time goes on, the winter season really comes, and London emits a lot of soot, because citizens are burning a lot of coal for heating, which makes the already poor air quality even worse.

All kinds of information about heresy and witchcraft are endless, and things are further fermented, and the figure of "Golden Dawn" begins to circulate among all walks of life, looming. However, the belief in the "Serpent of Eternity" really snowballed and grew bigger and bigger, and finally exploded completely.

From London to the whole of the United Kingdom, and then to the whole of Europe, the influence continues to radiate and cover a wider range of countries and regions.

Under the strong enough publicity, and supplemented by real evidence, the concept of occultism began to spread widely, and people also turned to the camp and belief of the "Eternal Serpent", believing in this miracle of the One, who claimed to be the prototype of all things and the king of magic!

Because it was close to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, this revolution was later called the "New Age Movement", which was considered to be a social and religious movement that involved a wide range of aspects, including spiritism, theosophy, occultism, and traditional religious beliefs.

It also absorbed the inspiration of the world's major religions and fused with the scientific ideas of the new age, laying the foundation for the magical industrial revolution that followed.

Of course, this is the evaluation of later generations, and the current reform movement that has begun to kick off has also caused more people to be uneasy.

As the momentum of this reform movement grew, it naturally violated the interests of certain inherent classes and circles, provoked a strong backlash, and led to the emergence of a large number of conflicts and contradictions.

In most regions, such problems are increasing due to differences and differences in race, group, creed, region, etc.

In particular, religious figures, led by the Church, are vigorously opposing the arrival of the so-called New Era and the New God Faith, and the Vatican issued a statement angrily denouncing it as heresy and the devil! It's a pity that it's not the Middle Ages anymore, the Church is no longer strong, and the Pope is no longer supreme.

Perhaps once they were so powerful that they covered the sky with one hand, and their authority reached an unprecedented level, and all feudal monarchs had to prostrate themselves at their feet, without the slightest ability to resist.

But Martin Luther, who wore his own crown and was excommunicated, did not bird the church at all, and reformed his religion and started a new stove, slapping the church hard...... By now, the authority and influence of the Church have waned.

Although the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, it is still dead.

Horses can still run around the world, and what can a dead camel do other than rot day by day?

Not to mention, under Mr. Smith's powerful "brainwashing" methods, many religious people or groups have begun to take the initiative to reach out to new areas - the church is openly denouncing heresy, but secretly it is rapidly infiltrating.

And the higher the level, the more so, the pope and the bishop could not resist the benefits of the so-called heretical witchcraft, but the lower believers were more religious.

The most shocking thing is that in December of the same year, Queen Victoria made a public appearance and officially announced the establishment of the Council of Wizards of Arbitration, which is mainly responsible for the development of the occult in Britain and the fundamental direction of future planning......

As a result, the event had such a great impact that it caused a stir around the world, amounting to the official recognition of the occult.

Because through special means, the "Golden Dawn" can give birth to a large number of magical talents in a short period of time, so that they can understand and master the basic theory of magic logic and occult knowledge, which is almost a leapfrog completion of the results that can only be obtained after decades of efforts and the comprehensive popularization of nine-year compulsory education in occultism.

Therefore, Mr. Smith already has the capital for a showdown, and it is understandable that he chose to start on the stage on the bright side.

However, just understanding the theory of magic and mastering the occult knowledge can only make a person a mysticist, but not a real wizard.

Because if you don't have magical talent, then you don't have magical power, and you're still basically an ordinary person.

Mr. Smith also can't solve the question of priori determined qualifications, but he has an alternative. After weighing the pros and cons of the two technical solutions of "artificial magic loop" and "artificial magic network", he decided to start with the latter first.

After all, bioalchemy, which involves human body modification technology, is an extremely advanced field, and even if it is carried out according to a strict drawing formula, it is still possible to make mistakes.

He doesn't have many skill points invested in this area, and he is really not proficient, this is not to say that he has the ability to refine souls like the Demon Contract, so he can touch the technology of bypassing, and if he uses people to do experiments, he doesn't know how many times he will fail to master it.

- Although, whether it is technology or magic, new technologies always need to be accompanied by failure or even sacrifice, just like drugs need to be tested on humans.

But now, these "failures" and "sacrifices" are not allowed.

Because the change movement initiated by Mr. Smith has only just begun, it has already attracted countless hateful eyes, rumors, and slander, and in a city like London alone, there are more than double-digit conflicts every day.

So in any case, it is not possible to really let those with ulterior motives grasp the handle and have a reason to pour dirty water on the head of the "Golden Dawn" -

You know, fields such as human modification and genetic engineering are still very criticized topics even after two centuries.

For now, the "artificial magic circuit" plan will be put on hold until the time is ripe.

As for the "artificial magic net", it has mature technical conditions to be realized, and it is a technology researched by the magicians of the original world, and it is said that there are also various spells such as the spirit gathering array in the East, and the principles and effects are similar.

The main reason why this technology was created was to solve the problem of insufficient density of magic in the atmosphere, and even some regions have no magic at all. If there is no magic in the atmosphere, start with the magic of the land.

Because in a world, no matter whether there is diffuse free energy in the atmosphere, at least the power of the leylines inside the planet always exists, and the magic net is a magical network built by controlling the flow of leyline energy, extracting the leyline energy and transforming it into magic that individuals can use.

But in the original world, this technology was often not applied on a large scale, because it was not necessary. At most, it is to lay a magic net in a specific place to extract the energy of the leylines, which is used to maintain the continuous operation of certain powerful spells.

On the earth at the end of the 19th century, Mr. Smith needed to lay a magic net on a large scale to solve the problem of no magic in the atmosphere.

However, the artificial magic circuit is compatible with the technology of the artificial magic net, otherwise, even if the magic net is laid in a certain area, people without magical talent will not be able to access the magic net and obtain the magic power of transformation from it.

If you don't use artificial magic circuits, you need to solve this problem in other ways, such as -

Install the analog loop in an external device such as a wand or wand, so that as long as this kind of special equipment enters the range of the magic network, it will naturally connect to the magic network?

Anyone with such special equipment and a sufficient knowledge base of magical theory to be able to express the correct symbols through body movements or gesture language will be able to use the corresponding magic.

Since they no longer need to provide their own magic, they will naturally solve the problem.

But in this case, this type of equipment is similar to the "firearms" on the magic side, right? As long as you get your hands on it and have a certain amount of training, you will be able to perform magic. But it also seems to be the only option, the only solution.

In this way, Mr. Smith determined the next technical ideas, and a large number of technical people who had already mastered and understood many occult knowledge helped him turn his ideas into results.

……

……

Fast forward to the beginning of the 20th century.

Driven by the vast resources, talents, and policies of the most powerful world empires, magic began to enter every aspect of British society.

There was little resistance, and Mr. Smith's approach of paying the price early and co-opting various powerful landlords was the right strategy. Instead of touching the interests of these people, he turned the future of this revolution into the interests of these people.

If you want money, you want people, and there is no opposition.

Britain began to carry out drastic reforms, the magic net was rapidly spread across the country under the impetus of the state, external magic devices such as artificial wands were also developed, and people began to try to combine the occult with industry.

Even many well-known scholars and scientific experts have also entered this wonderful field with great interest, actively exploring new technological prospects, and all kinds of wonderful ideas are gushing for a while.

In this era, the wealthy British naturally did not refuse to come, not only established many laboratories and research projects, allocated a lot of funds, and even called on various institutions of higher learning to set up occult majors.

The magic industry is also beginning to mature and standardize.

It can be said that this is not a gentle process, but considering the limitations of the current era, it is not difficult for the people at the bottom to accept it, and even have irrepressible fascination and expectations.

And the various opposition voices at the beginning, under the "golden dawn" or coercion or inducement, have almost completely disappeared.

With the continuous laying of magic nets, the establishment of factories for external magic devices, and the continuous production of standard models of special magic wands on the assembly lines of mass production workshops, the British seem to have really popularized the power of magic, and even began to put this technology into the civilian field.

The great convenience brought by the magic network, not to mention the magic, just the additional functions like the Internet are enough to make people blush......

The magical power brought by magic has burst out with tremendous energy when combined with the industrial field, creating many magical products......

The British even began to consciously and actively cultivate magic plants and various magical creatures, and promoted the concept of so-called magical resources......

The huge influence of the mysterious force has spread, so that the countries that were ready to see the joke at the beginning finally realized that something was wrong, and they also began to be anxious, desperately sending spies or through diplomacy, intending to obtain a ticket to the magical industrial revolution.

In this way, a huge change that is not inferior to the industrial revolution of the sixties of the last century began to rise.

Therefore, when the great being known as the "Eternal Serpent" in this plane once again set his eyes on this plane, it was very surprising to find that the historical direction of this world began to shift significantly, and it was moving towards a miraculous era.

What the hell?

Obviously, the original idea was the style of "Devil May Cry", but the experimental subject not only did not create the Demon Sword Order, but also did not become a Demon Swordsman, let alone exert the power of his demon bloodline.

Instead, he went further and further down the path of pure mage, and even made a big fuss, leading the painting style of the whole world to the age of magic?

Such a good talent and beautiful quality...... But is it really good that this guy is so ferocious? Someone was inexplicably worried about the eighty-eight Saint Seiya on the other side.
