After the destruction of Nangang, the gods of Barun did not move for several days, and Wang Yue temporarily stayed with the gods and dragons in the West Sea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the West Sea Dragon Monarch has obtained the projection spell, there are many gods in the instrument test field that can be consciously projected at any time, and there are even intelligent gods, and there will be no delay in the affairs of each territory for a while, and the West Sea Dragon Monarch will do his best to serve as the landlord.

Located in the West, the West Sea migrated from the East to maintain contact with the Eastern world, and the clothing, food, drink, poetry, theater, etc., formed a unique cultural atmosphere at the intersection of the East and the West, which is impressive and eye-opening.

However, Wang Yue was most interested in the power system that was born on Western soil, which was different from that of the East, and the history of the Barron Empire.

There are many collections of these Western Sea Dragon Monarchs who have come to the West for nearly three thousand years, especially after the war with Barun in the past hundred years.

Wang Yue ordered all kinds of book scrolls and the like to be collected on Wang Yue's desk, hundreds of books with black sheepskin covers and papyrus pages specially processed in hardbinding, including some classics of the Barron School of Magic, the War College, the major seminaries, and the history of Barron.

The text on the book is a Babylonian cuneiform, but it is slightly different from the cuneiform script found in the archaeology in Wang Yue's memory, and it should have been simplified several times to better meet the actual needs, and after simplification, it looks a little like Chinese characters but is completely different.

Wang Yue opened it and looked... I don't know a word.

So in order to let Wang Yue understand the words on the books, Long Jun specially sent a scribe who was proficient in Eastern and Western characters to translate for him.

However, the assistance of translation is only a few hours.

Wang Yue quickly learned this exotic script by using the super calculus ability of the god throne.

To understand a civilization, we must first start with history.

Turning the pages of the history of the Barron Empire, Wang Yue can see that its process began in 1920.

1,920 years ago, the Supreme God of Baron, Enlil, came to save a village that had been enslaved by the orc tribe that had migrated from the east to the west, and then drove the local orcs away, and then the force formed in this area was named Barron by Enlil.

The day of Enlil's Advent is the biggest annual festival of the Barron Empire, Advent.

This was the beginning of the expansion of the Barron civilization, which gradually grew from a small village to a vast empire today.

In the history of human civilization, the development of a civilization will always have various twists and turns.

It's a spiral, a twist and turn, but that's not to be seen in Barron's history.

Thanks to a picture from the late Eastern Han Dynasty on Earth... During the decline of the Roman Empire... Learned the lessons and essence of the destruction of Babylon... With the strong will and strength of the ancient Greek civilization and the Roman Empire, which lasted for about 2,000 years, the growth and expansion of Barron was almost smooth, and there was no dynastic rise and fall in 2,000 years.

It is only under the theocratic rule that supernatural forces are extremely prosperous, and the natural sciences are in a weak position and it is difficult to make breakthroughs.

Because as long as science and technology go further here, the old order of the current Barron Kingdom will be greatly impacted.

It is not only the development of the productive forces that will lead to changes in the relations of production, but also the growth of mortal power that will inevitably be brought about by science.

It is said that there was a time in ancient Europe when the aristocracy forbade the use of crossbows.

Because ordinary people spend half a day learning to use a crossbow, they can kill knights who have been trained and trained since childhood, have mastered various combat abilities, and have far more powerful strength than ordinary people, and knights are the lowest nobles in Europe at that time, and they are the cornerstone and blade of the rule of the aristocratic system.

The Manchu emperors during the reign of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in China were not unaware of the power of firearms.

Whether it was Kang Mazi, who was said to be very wise and powerful, the fourth elder brother, and the ten martial arts had all obtained the most advanced firearms at that time, and they knew how powerful firearms were, but they unanimously chose to suppress firearms.

Because firearms were more powerful than crossbows, they feared that most of the Han Chinese, armed with firearms, would no longer fear them and overthrow their rule.

In the same way, how could the ruler of Barron allow the growth of mortal power in the Barron Empire to threaten the possessors of the supernatural power that dominates in Barron, and the development of the earth to the extent that it is already comparable to the gods or even stronger as a whole?

However, although the natural sciences were suppressed, a flower that grew in the other direction grew in the Barron civilization.

Alchemy, which originated from ancient Greece, was the main force in breaking the dark cage of theology in the earth's civilization, and natural science was born and grew on it, while Barron's alchemy did not march towards natural science, but it still maintained its original style, and the combination of extraordinary power and certain scientific knowledge gave birth to alchemical creations that were almost black technology... In the hands of a few, it is not fundamentally different from the power of warriors, mages, etc.

However, aside from the various battlefield killing weapons used on the battlefield, the power of alchemists was used to create to a certain extent, and the existence of the gods of agriculture and knowledge made the productivity level of the Barrons not much lower than during the first industrial revolution.

This is the level of science, technology, and productivity of the Barrons.

At the level of the state system, the Barron Empire was a hodgepodge.

It was copied from Rome and improved, and may have referred to the provinces (counties) and official systems of the Qin and Han dynasties in the east, and still retained relatively independent principalities in the empire, such as the Duchy of Ennat, the Duchy of Hodien, etc., which were mostly the foundation of the Barron gods.

All this is mixed together, and the Barron Empire has become a four-way thing, giving Wang Yue a strange feeling.

Was the Barron Empire really a unified empire?

Are the Barron gods, each with its own kingdom within the empire, monolithic?

Historically, this is a legacy of the early days of the Barron Empire, which was far from being as powerful as it is today, and the fact that in the course of development, for the sake of expansion, or for other reasons, he made compromises with the gods who joined the divine line, which led to the creation of the duchy.

These principalities have also grown with the expansion of the Barron Empire, and the combined population and territory account for nearly half of the current vast Barron Empire.

This is undoubtedly a near-intractable cancer within the Barron Empire.

Through the historical events of Barron, Enlil did not fail to think about solving them, and tried to integrate the empire into a real monolith several times, intending to include all the powers of the principalities in the center of the empire, but they were all resisted by the principalities.

No way... It involves the interests of many countries, the struggle between people's hearts and beliefs, and the lifeblood of the gods, who would be willing to compromise?

If you have your own territory, you will have autonomy in the Barron system.

Without their own territory, the relationship between the gods and Enlil is the same as the relationship between the emperors and gods in ancient China.

No one is a fool among the Barron gods, Enlil can bring benefits to everyone, and it's no problem to lead Barron to a better place, everyone is willing to listen and follow along, if you want to cut the domain, then you can only hehe... While going cool.

Judging from the situation of the Barun Empire, there are similarities with the period of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, the same imperial center and the same feudal states, but the central empire of Emperor Jing has not only a nominal advantage but also an advantage in strength compared with the feudal states.

After Emperor Jing cut the feudal domain and triggered the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he was forced to calm down with great strength.

What about Enlil... The princes not only have a fiefdom of territory, but also give the central government unshakable positions such as defense minister, prime minister, and agriculture minister in the Central Empire.

Closing the historical documents of the Barron Empire, Wang Yue has a rough idea of the Barun Empire and the Barun gods.

In the case of facing the gods of Barron and each with destructive power, it is not necessary to face it with real swords and guns, but to cut it with a soft knife with many flaws.

It didn't take much time for Wang Yue to finish reading the history of the Barron, and then opened the books and textbooks related to the Barron power system.

In the Barron Empire, elite education such as supernatural powers and vocational systems was far more complete than the current Eastern world, where private schools of thought were just beginning to emerge.

Modern archaeological discoveries on the earth have found that as early as the ancient Babylonian period, ancient Babylon had a very formal elite education of nobles and scholars.

At that time, paper had not yet been born, and the Babylonians used clay tablets to carry and pass on knowledge, and this is the source of fantasy artifacts such as the so-called "clay tablets of fate" in many modern fantasy worlds, and the elite education system of Babylon was even more complete after arriving in this world.

In the principalities and provinces of the Barron Empire, there are scholar colleges to train officials for the empire and principalities, war colleges to train generals and warriors, and mage colleges to train mages and alchemists, etc., and under such a large-scale and mature education system, it must not be oral teaching, but there are books and teaching materials that carry the corresponding knowledge, even if the content is not so sophisticated, there is a foundation that is enough for Wang Yue to understand it.
