622. Rand's doubts
"Gandalf, do you think that the human civilization, which can once again build a magic furnace, can surpass the previous civilization?"
In the castle restaurant in White Wolf City, Rand asks Gandalf his questions.
"Can the human empire really remain in awe, compassion, kindness, and curiosity, and continue to explore the future and become a greater civilization as it did hundreds of years ago?"
The sooner and more magic furnaces in the future, but the magic produced by these magic furnaces can really make those legendary families put aside their prejudices and explore the unknown world together? Let more demons-free people enjoy a better life?
Or will it only create a few hundred legends and demigods who will divide up the magic power, create countless golden currencies, and even create a new round of dragon annihilation?
Rand had an answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
At the table, the old mage looked at Rand with a kind smile on his face.
Beside Rand, the girls looked surprised, wondering why he had suddenly asked such a profound question.
"Your question is interesting," Gandalf's gaze was deep, as if looking up at the starry sky through Rand, "the evolution of civilization is always unpredictable and fascinating, it seems that you don't have enough confidence in the current human empire!" β
"Yes, I'm only confident that the Empire will make money in the name of the Demon Furnace." Rand said helplessly. "There are already imperial institutions that hope to control my ability to create magic furnaces to simply fill their holes for hundreds of years."
"Hehe, it's not surprising, I even think it's strange that they haven't tried to control Ling by force."
Rand smiled and didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that the empire's institutions didn't do anything, and a big reason was that when the first magic furnace was built, the representatives of the Pure Tower, the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, and the Red Dragon Rock were all present, and the three checked and balanced each other, which gave Rand the space he has now.
Now that the families have not come openly, it does not mean that they are not operating secretly, for example, the family in the imperial capital found that the magic furnace could not be installed without Lante, so they began to make up their minds beside Lante.
Lili also told Rand just now that when Sophia and Jonny were studying in the Salt and Iron Division recently, there were always some aristocratic young people who came over to offer their courtesy.
Rand's discussion with the old mage was fruitless, but someone came to disturb him.
"Your Majesty, please look at this ode," said a priest, running up cheerfully with a piece of parchment, "I made it especially for you!" β
"Good fellow, so fast?" Rand was a little surprised by the efficiency of the flame priests, and took a cursory look at the parchment.
"You dominate, I worship, there is no other way to ask for anything, Forge Forger, preach your myths......"
After a cursory reading, both Rand and the girls fell silent.
"Didn't they go to Night Qicheng tonight? Let Akikusa give them a performance! Rand, who had been silent for a long time, told Wendy that from this little song copied from the Flame Sect's scriptures, Rand probably understood why Hetia looked down on them so much.
β¦β¦
March had risen into the sky, the night was already deep, the ball was over, and the Flame Priest and Gandalf had gone to the Night Kirk City.
Tonight, Fiana is going to take them on a tour of the Galloping Horse Academy and the first magic furnace installed by Rand, and show them to meet the fire-based magic elves in their territory one by one.
And Rand was originally going to go to the western town of Iowa to accompany the black rabbit in the crust, but was stopped by Lili and Wendy.
During the evening feast, Lili had been watching Prince Durosong's every move, and Wendy had continued to monitor Lily after she had picked up Gandalf, and she hadn't even heard about the Flame Cult's fascinating history.
So after the ball, the two girls insisted on pulling up Dandilian, who had received Durosson, to report to Rand about the results of the night.
"My lord, Prince Durosong is more cunning than we thought, and he went directly to the Temple of Life with his subordinates to ask for His Majesty Lukoa's forgiveness, so that Lord Thapara could not pursue them without permission."
In the lord's room, Dandilian was the first to report what she knew, "And there is more than one witch among this prince's subordinates, if he wasn't outside the scope of the religious edict, he would definitely be wanted or even executed by the Temple Alliance!" β
"Witch?" Rand probably understood the word, but he didn't understand what kind of Dandilian deserved to be, "Is it a female demon?" β
Dandilian shook her head and said: "No, the witch is actually a descendant of the human race and the demon race, the demon race, as a six-limbed race, is far closer to magic than humans, hundreds of years ago, many big nobles married with the demon race,
However, some nobles fell into the demon clan because of fornication, which led to many secrets of the empire being known to them, and in the early days of the Demon Tide War 300 years ago, the empire fell into a huge passivity.
Since then, His Majesty the God Emperor and His Majesty the Pope of the Temple Alliance have jointly issued an edict, strictly prohibiting nobles from fornicating with any demon clan, and those who violate the order can be deprived of all honors and fiefs. β
The girl's introduction to the demons, although very general, is very accurate.
"That's it," Rand said with a look of understanding, but his heart refreshed his opinion of the girl in front of him.
"My lord, the witch's affairs are not so absolute!" Lili looked at Lante and hurriedly said, "300 years ago, including the legendary family of the imperial capital, most nobles would marry the Yu clan and the demon clan.
Because the probability of the bloodline activation of the offspring of the marriage once exceeded 30%, you also know that in the region where the magic element is completely divided, the higher the probability of one family's activation, the lower the activation rate of other families. β
Without waiting for Lili to finish, Wendy said: "However, after the end of the War of the God Emperor in 725 and the issuance of the religious edict, all the descendants of the demon clan in the empire disappeared at once, and only the bloodline activation rate of the big family increased a lot compared to before the war, could it be that their ancestors blessed the big family?" β
"Isn't that a joke, the ancestors of many big families are still alive today."
Although he was joking, Danrant understood that it was impossible for those families to give up any opportunity to increase the probability of bloodline activation, and once the real threat of the demon clan was eliminated, they would definitely plunder all the demon bloodline and do everything possible to make it serve them.
"Well, I see what you mean, DuroΓ§on is right, his camp is indeed outside the scope of the edict," Rand decided to put an end to the witch's conversation, "and in the afternoon the god of life has issued an oracle to the goddess of the Taka to absolve the witch of her guilt. β
In the afternoon, when Rand first heard Tapala say, he was also surprised, the guilt of intercepting faith is not like an ancient god can easily forgive, even if this witch objectively helped the frostwolf to cleanse his inner demons and prepare for further progress.
However, after seeing the petite Lori witch in the castle at night, Rand seemed to have a little realization, and probably understood Her Majesty Lucoya's thoughts.
