Huang Xin was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Don't they also have any kings, bishops, etc.?" I always thought they were some **** countries. ”

The various ethnic groups of Evangel relied heavily on their own ethnic gods, and the various ecclesiastical organizations were so powerful that it was easy to think that their political structure was similar to that of medieval Europe, where religious rights suppressed secular rights, and the two cooperated and struggled.

But in fact, when the gods are real, they often display power.

What secular rights do pious believers expect from religious organizations that live to serve the gods and return to the kingdom of God when they die?

Unless the gods have fallen.

In the same way, how many of the people in power in secular regimes are unbelievers or hypocrites? Are they more in pursuit of pleasure or more in their personal cultivation?

If we were to speculate about Evan Riel in the light of the history of the earth, it would be clear that we would come to a very different conclusion.

After all, a scholar-type spellcaster like Zeng Li has a lot of communication with the inhabitants of Evangeliel, and even if he can't tell the political, cultural, and religious aspects of various races, countries, and historical periods, he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of them, and the conclusions he has drawn are relatively correct.

"Xinxin, you've spent the past two years studying how to fight. Zeng Li explained to her with a smile: "The halfling king was recommended by the previous king, and then recognized by the people, yes, the implicit requirement is that when he succeeds to the throne, he is at least a legendary spellcaster, and he can't leave Bangalore without anything very special after succeeding to the throne." ”

"Why?" Huang Xin didn't have any doubts about how the past came about, anyway, the halflings just need to be recognized, but it is strange that he has to be restricted from freedom to become a king.

Zeng Li took out a bottle of water from the dimensional pocket with his left hand, handed it to Huang Xin, and continued: "The king's position is equivalent to the security captain of the entire halfling kingdom, he has to stay in Bangalore to preside over the lost lock, otherwise with the curiosity of the legendary spellcaster, especially the mage, he may run to the corner at any time, what if their capital is in danger, and the security captain can't go back?"

Huang Xin took the water and wanted to pull his arm out of Zeng Li's arm, but Zeng Li was reluctant, so he stopped Huang Xin's movements with a little force, and then used a mage's hand to help Huang Xin unscrew the bottle cap.

Huang Xin smiled with satisfaction and drank water.

"Therefore, halflings have great respect for their successive kings, and to become a king is equivalent to dedicating one's life to their people. Zeng Li said slowly: "Their political system is not suitable for us, the permanent population of the entire halfling kingdom is only one city in Bengalore, at its peak it was only more than 10,000 people, and now it is only a thousand. ”

"The people of their tribe who do not live in the capital will form their own little societies, nominally subordinate to the kingdom, but in reality neither side is accountable to the other. ”

Huang Xin raised the water cup slightly and motioned for Zeng Li to close the lid.

This is a cup made of sapphire crystal, very light, it can neither be a gemstone nor glass, relying on the appearance, it is really impossible to distinguish the raw material.

Zeng Li screwed the lid: "Small countries and widows, chickens and dogs smell each other and don't get along with each other." We couldn't practice the fantasies of our predecessors, but someone did it for us, and it turned out to be good, but it really didn't suit us. Halflings manage thousands of people, and they are often anxious about various internal affairs, and Radiant always comes to me and asks me what to do. ”

When Huang Xin heard this, the goblin archmage suddenly appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help laughing: "Ha! You know this, it won't all be instilled by Ospen!"

"Almost, according to my understanding, there are less than ten civil servants in charge of Bangalore, and the other is the voluntary and semi-voluntary guards, who are either members of the church or apprentices of mages, and the number is more than a hundred, and it is definitely not two hundred. Zeng Li shook his head helplessly: "They don't have any decent taxes at all, the gap between combat professionals and non-combat professionals is already very large, and the gap between spellcasters and other combat professionals is even greater, and there is no need to communicate with each other at all." ”

Huang Xin realized: "They are gathered by cultural identity and religious identity?"

"Almost, they're together, and they're very cohesive, but there are a lot of scattered people, and they don't seem to be very cohesive, and it's weird anyway. To be honest, I think we can continue to develop and one day be like them. Zeng Li's view seems astonishing, but this is not a new one.

Among the first group of people to leave silently, spellcasters accounted for the vast majority, some of them joined the foreign caster organization that got along well, and some of them joined forces to live in a place far from people.

In fact, these people have not completely cut off social relations in the first half of their lives, especially the study of arcane requires mutual communication, and several of Zeng Li's former classmates have left, and they often hold similar views.

More extremely, they will think that people who don't want to become spellcasters are dragging themselves back, because the foundation of arcane arts has long been made public, and there are even special people to teach them, in this case, they are not willing to learn, what do they expect?

In fact, the earlier government departments recruited repair techniques and magic berry techniques, and later built various arcane facilities, and finally required regular and fixed arcane charges, which also caused problems for the first arcane spellcasters.

You must know that there are far more than a few smart people in the world, Qi Yuan may be very lucky, but even more fortunate is that they met the goblin archmage earlier and obtained the kindness of the beings of Evaniel, otherwise they may not be able to be a few steps ahead of others.

Most of the pioneers everywhere chose to help their compatriots when the situation was tense and complicated, and they did not need to pay the price of the recipient at all, but this help obviously could not last forever.

Eventually, the conflict between the giver and the recipient, the giver and the non-caster, inevitably intensifies.

Huang Xin was silent for a moment, she didn't want the society she used to be gone, although there were many people and things that she couldn't get used to and hated, but there were more that made her happy and moved, if it was as Zeng Li imagined, everything would be irreparable.

"Forget it, try to do what you need to do, I will receive Kejia in a while, let's go to pay homage to Professor Kuai, I will participate in the training tomorrow, I must prepare carefully." In the end, Huang Xin chose not to think too much.

The husband and wife slowly walked outside the courtyard of the General Office of the Military Commission, and the guards actually knew Huang Xin and immediately saluted.

As a combat hero, Huang Xin is the idol of many fighters.

Not long after Huang Xin smiled and returned the salute, Li Kejia walked out.
