Chapter 12 The Iron Aristocrats, the Flowing Empire
"Eve, are you sure?"
Helois took a long breath, looked at Eve in her arms, who was looking at her worriedly, and asked again.
"yes, sure."
Eve blinked her starry eyes in the sunlight, and her little face was very serious, and she answered her grandmother seriously.
"It was the Supreme Lord of Twilight who saved me, and at the moment when I lost my mind and was about to become a monster, the great He gave me the gift of saving me from suffering."
Heloise stared at Eve, who closed her eyes as if she were a devout saint.
Heloise's heart was like knocking over all kinds of spice bottles, and the five flavors were mixed.
She suddenly had the feeling that the little cabbage she had worked so hard to grow had run away with someone else, and that person couldn't afford to provoke herself.
Although werewolves do not have a rule on which god they must believe.
However, the Lord of Dusk can be said to be a famous evil god on the mainland, and it is better to believe in anyone than to believe in Him.
The Lord of Dusk and his followers think about how to bring the world into dusk all day long, and they do not refuse to come, everyone has it.
Criminals, exiled warlocks......
It can be said that this Twilight Order is a criminal group that has caused great headaches for all countries and the Holy See.
These sewer rats are very hidden in the sky, and they may be passing merchants, beggars begging along the streets, and even nobles have their own people.
Although there are a large number of people, under the high-pressure policy, there is no wind and waves now.
Heloise feared that if Eve was found to be a follower of the Lord of the Dusk, she would face the Empire's Secret Division and the Holy See's Inquisition.
Even if she is now Morning Star, she is like a mantis arm in the face of these institutions, and she can't protect Eve at all.
And......
And that's not even the most dangerous.
The greatest danger comes from the Lord of Twilight itself.
Heloise couldn't think of anything for Eve to attract his attention, and she was afraid that the Lord of Dusk would do something to her.
But for Eve, although the Lord of Twilight is called an evil god, he didn't actually do anything to her when she was weak, but instead lent a helping hand when she was in trouble.
Perhaps there was part of her own desire to be a believer.
But what does it matter?
It is already inconceivable that a god of great power would be willing to exchange for a weak ant like himself.
After a series of events yesterday, Eve seems to have grown a lot, at least no longer holding naïve ideas.
She opened her eyes and looked at her grandmother's sad face, and Eve hooked the corners of Heloise's mouth with her little hand and smiled.
"Grandma, smile."
Heloise looked at Eve's bright smile and her childish movements, and the anxiety in her heart seemed to be alleviated a lot, and she hugged Eve tightly, not daring to let go.
……
"Junior brother, this is the place to measure the factor content, not me blowing, it is definitely more accurate than those machines outside!"
Monet enthusiastically introduced this machine to Ji Yan, looked at the promising junior in front of him, and had already made up his mind to have a good relationship with him.
As the second son of an earl's family, he can't inherit the law book in his family, so he can only cultivate hard by himself, and all kinds of resources are fought for by himself, but no matter how hard Monet tries to catch up, he can't catch up with the sister-in-law who has the law book.
I heard that his current factor content is about to increase to 0.8, which is not comparable to his own only 0.6 at all.
Thinking of this, Monet grinded his teeth hatefully, and his eyes flashed with unwillingness.
His talent is no worse than that of his sister-in-law, and he works harder than that person.
But just because that person was born early and could inherit the Fa book, the gap between them became wider and wider.
The Book of Magic, as the name suggests, is a book that carries spells.
But this kind of book has no substance, appears in an illusory way, and can be integrated into the human body.
The main function is to help increase the level of factors in the body.
There are also protective spells that can save your life in case of danger.
The factor content that you spend a day cultivating can be higher than you if someone who has a Dharma book only needs to spend half a day, or even less, to be able to cultivate higher than you.
What do you compare yourself to others?
Is this fair?
This is patently unfair!
This kind of unfair thing, although I don't know why each family can only have one.
But just such a law book ensured that the dominance of the nobility in the empire would not be shaken by other classes.
After all, there is no shortage of talents for nobles with law books, and they have a lot of time to prepare for the promotion to the Morning Star.
There may be aristocrats who did not rely on the law book to start their lives, but their glory only lasted for a few hundred years at most, and after a hundred years, they were completely buried in history.
And the nobles who have the law book start at least a thousand years, and even if there are times of downfall, they will eventually make a comeback, and even the empire will not last as long as them.
It can be said that it is an iron-clad aristocracy and an empire of flowing water.
Monet's chances of being promoted in the future are very slim, and he naturally wants to befriend someone who has a high probability of being a star warlock in the future.
Ji Yan will not refuse the kindness of his seniors, he needs a certain amount of contacts to live in the imperial capital.
A strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, not to mention that he is not a strong dragon.
"Come on, junior brother, go up and give it a try."
After Monet introduced the use of the instrument with a smile, he said to Ji Yan.
"Senior, the professor should have been waiting for us for a long time......
Ji Yan hesitated.
"Hey, what are you afraid of, the professor won't say anything, and there are several people who haven't come, and the measurement is very fast."
Monet patted Ji Yan on the shoulder, saying that nothing would happen.
He activated the instrument, and suddenly it emitted a hazy light.
Ji Yan looked at it curiously, the size of the instrument was very large, Mo was about a person tall, and the appearance was wrapped in several brass sheets, nailed together with iron buttons, with a dashboard on top and a hole below, just put your hand in it. Several pipes connect them tightly, and if paired with a water mist, it's a distinctly steam-like style.
He put his hand in it and felt no change.
After a while, the hands of the dashboard started from 0, slowly slid past 0.05, and then stopped moving.
"0.07."
Monet muttered in his mouth, although he had long known that the factor content in Ji Yan's body was less than 0.1, but when he really saw the data with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.
Ji Yan's cultivation talent may not be very good, but his spiritual index is enough to make up for all this.
What a envy......
Looking at Ji Yan's energetic face, Monet couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Although he is only in his twenties this year, he feels that he has an inexplicable old state.
Maybe it's too tired, and the life that can be seen at a glance doesn't seem to have any meaning.
After a moment of silence, seeing that Ji Yan had finished the test, Monet could only dispel the troubles that had bred in his heart, and led his junior brother out of the room and outside the building.
Just as he was about to say something, the communication stone in his pocket suddenly buzzed.
Monet answered, and it was a correspondence from Professor Salome.
