(Thank you for the monthly pass support of "I am the Dragon"!)

The fleet returned to Akrotiri Island, an overseas military base in Great Xia, and held a grand welcome ceremony, after all, Wang Qinian's identity was there.

At the welcome banquet, Xiaoshuang still did not attend, and she was still in a kind of epiphany. Tina was talking to the officers' wives, Wang Qinian was talking to the priests, and the captain was laughing and laughing with the officers.

Pastor He Duohuan said: "Mr. Wang, your name is so strange, Qi Nian, Wang, it really looks like an Oriental name, you are the first time to the East?"

"Yes, it's my first time, I'm a necromancer, I heard that Great Xia is very lenient about this?" asked Wang Qinian curiously.

"This is a truth, we worship the great god of Houtu, unlike your Taixi's god line, your Taixi's god system is a monotheistic religion, all those who do not believe in the creator are heretics, but our Daxia is a polytheistic religion, the latter lord is above, you treat your people as your children, no matter whether they are noble or low, no matter the race, you regard them as children, and life flows in this, only until their enlightenment. He Duohuan talked about the gods he believed in, and before he knew it, the scriptures came out.

Wang Qinian waited for him to finish before he spoke: "Houtu is tolerant, what gods are there in her god system?"

"Houtu is very tolerant, and she has many subordinate gods, especially Bose, the god of the sea, who is said to be an alien god, originally from Tessie. ”

"The sea god Bose, that is the sea god of the Xilun god system, the Xilun god system was destroyed by the creator, I didn't expect the sea god to come to the east. Wang Qinian was even more curious, he knew it from the goddess of life, Avena. The great god of Houtu is actually Gaia, the goddess of the earth in the Xilun god system, and Gaia is just a doppelganger of Houtu. When they came this time, they knew that they didn't know the root of the matter.

"Yes, there is such a saying, you have come this time, and the Lord Priest gave a holy decree a month ago, saying that the owner of a ship has come, and the ship is called Modesti. I don't know any other details. He Duohuan said.

"What is the division of your clergy?" Wang Qinian asked again.

"From top to bottom. It is divided into high priests, which is equivalent to your pope, but in the history of Great Xia, there is equal importance to divine power and royal power, and it is not like Taixi. Theocracy is above imperial power. Theocracy governs only the education of the world. It does not interfere in the affairs of the world, but is divided below into the priest of the Lord, and the wine is equivalent to the head of a parish. And then there are the priests, and then there are the deacons and so on. Pastor Ho Duohuan said it wasn't a secret.

Wang Qinian understood and asked, "What kind of people are the royal family of Great Xia?"

"The royal family of Great Xia, with the country as the surname, began to have no surname, passed on to the sixty-seventh generation, before that, there were several dynasties, because of the disrespect for the gods, the monarch was mediocre, but the people were ignorant at that time, and later the gods rose, and the country formed a situation of aristocratic co-governance. He Duohuan said.

Wang Qinian smacked his tongue, a dynasty has been passed down for sixty-seven generations, it is unimaginable. asked: "Among the sixty-seven generations, for more than 3,000 years, is there a mediocre emperor?"

He didn't know much about the history of Bactria so he asked.

"How not, but today, at least after five major changes, the power of the emperor continues to decline, on the contrary, the power of the aristocratic group is constantly rising, the first six generations, almost monopolized, even the Divine Religion is controlled by him, in the seventh generation, encountered a crisis, among the royal family, out of a generation of saints, he established the aristocratic old house, check and balance the imperial power, at the same time, the divine power began to become independent. Pastor He Duohuan said.

Zhu Zejiang walked over with a wine glass: "What are you talking about?"

This banquet is similar to a Western-style buffet, which was not originally a feature of Great Xia, and the military base has been overseas for a long time, so it is natural to learn this characteristic, and it can be seen from here that Great Xia is not conservative.

Wang Qinian laughed: "Pastor He is telling me about the history of Daxia, and he just told me about the first change. ”

"Oh, five historical changes, the first being the division of imperial power, and then the establishment of law, the popularization of theocracy, the reform of imperial examinations, and the participation of magic in politics. Zhu Zejiang said disappreciably, "These history books are all there." ”

"Let's hear it?" Wang Qinian's interest increased greatly, under the narration of Zhu Zejiang and He Duohuan, Wang Qinian really understood why Daxia has gone through more than 3,000 years and is vibrant, after the first change, and later there were nobles who put forward the concept of law, and proposed that a qiē criterion is law, no one is above the law, not even imperial power, divine power, for this reason, even bloodshed, but the spirit of the law remained, this is the second change.

The third change was the popularization of theocracy, before that, the gods could only be sacrificed by the nobility, and the common people had no right to pay attention to the gods, under the impetus of the high priest, the taxes of religion were sacrificed in exchange for the ability of all to sacrifice to the gods, and religion lost its property and a large amount of religious taxes, but it promoted indoctrination, which was of varying price, but most people believed that this was a historical progress, and religion was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but lost its ability to affect the country's economy.

The fourth change is the reform of the imperial examination, in one fell swoop to break the status of the family for thousands of years, since then, even slaves can also obtain the status of nobility through the imperial examination, the talent of the whole society began to flow, this change is of far-reaching significance, since then, in addition to the royal family, there is no zài what millennium family, compared to the rule of the nobles of Taixizhou, more humane, people from all walks of life are likely to change their status.

With the development, especially the rise of Kunlun, magicians formed a magic association two thousand years ago, participated in state affairs with a political force, and finally eight hundred years ago, really influenced national decision-making.

After hearing this, Wang Qinian sighed and said: "The entire history of Great Xia is a history of continuous differentiation of power, and it is indeed absolute power that leads to absolute corruption. ”

Wang Qinian sighed with emotion, said such a paragraph, the two of them fell into contemplation, Zhu Zejiang said: "Incisive, I can't imagine that you are a philosopher, throughout the dynasties before Great Xia, it was the constraint of the loss of power, and in the end the regime collapsed, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption, which is really a wise saying." ”

Pastor He's eyes lit up, savored it, and said, "Sure enough, it is a wise saying, I will write it down and present it to the high priest, which can be stored as an epigram." ”

Wang Qinian sweated a lot in his heart, he didn't expect him to pirate a sentence at will, he didn't know where the source was, he just said it casually, but he was regarded as a treasure by others.

He changed the subject and said, "I'm a mage, and I heard that most of the Great Xia magicians are from the Kunlun Academy of Magic, isn't that so?"

He Duo smiled: "Commander Zhu is from the Kunlun Academy of Magic, but he is more like a swordsman than a magician. ”

"Could it be that Commander Zhu is a Demon Martial Artist Cultivator?" asked Wang Qinian puzzled.

"You don't know the magic of the East, you say that the West is a demon martial arts double cultivation, in fact, there is a faction in our magic, using the sword as a weapon, and a magic cultivation is only on the sword, forming a unique style of swordsmanship, this kind of personnel is designed to survive in battle, although other magic is involved, it is not as profound as the way of the sword. Zhu Zejiang said.

"Sword cultivation?" Wang Qinian was surprised, he didn't expect that in the world of magic, there was actually a sword cultivation.

In fact, since the confluence of Eastern and Western magic a thousand years ago, the division of magic between the two sides has tended to be consistent, but Oriental magic still has its peculiarities, the most special place is that its chakras say, it believes that the human body is a small universe, in the body, there are countless chakras, the most important thing is three, namely the left vein, the middle vein and the right vein, the three from the bottom of the human sea to the top of the head, like a tree trunk, hooking up the small world in the human body, there are many veins and knots, constituting a criss-crossing human body, the earth is the same, there are many veins and knots, forming a network structure, thus developing a unique magical technique that is currently used in communication. Zhu Zejiang said.

Wang Qinian's heart was shocked, and he recalled the positioning marks on the magic map, the two were so similar, and asked, "Can you communicate remotely?"

"The Southern Branch of the Kunlun Academy of Magic has developed a magic technology, but it is not very mature, that is, it uses the veins of the earth to conduct information, and it has been implemented in Great Xia, if it is completed, Great Xia will become a whole, in our base, the effect is not very good, and the communication packet is often lost, and it may take decades to mature. He Duohuan said, revealing their magical achievements, they didn't think so, but they were like a thunderbolt in Wang Qinian's ears.

Wang Qinian knows that communication technology will fundamentally change the appearance of the world, which is the memory of his previous life.

"How did it happen?" Wang Qinian asked eagerly.

"The principle is very simple, it has been proposed a long time ago, but it is technically difficult to implement, using a magic array, and a series of knowledge, to be honest, I don't know. Zhu Zejiang laughed.

Wang Qinian turned to He Duohuan, and He Duohuan also smiled: "Don't look at me, although I will use it, I don't know how it will be achieved." ”

Although Wang Qinian's ship is equipped with a magical communication device, it is only a mutual sensing device, and the distance only works within a few miles to tens of miles in a straight line, listening to them, it seems to work in a range of thousands of miles, or even beyond, if so, it would be great, this technique must be learned.

Although Wang Qinian had read the chakra theory before, he didn't pay attention to it, and in Taixizhou, he only said that there were chakras in the human body, and he didn't introduce it in depth.

When he heard it today, he realized that he was underestimating the people of this world, a magic theory, which can support the magic practice in the East, will not be so simple at all, and he made up his mind to go to the Kunlun Academy of Magic. (To be continued......)
