After Zenil's birthday party, Lu Yu did not take advantage of the time when the title "Glutton" was widely spread, but lived a quiet and leisurely life at Sera's house.
He has been running around since he came to this world, but now that he is protected by Sera in the Theocracy, he can finally work on his summoning manual with peace of mind and actively travel back and forth between reality and the Summoner's Temple.
Sera doesn't mind raising a few fat rice worms at home. After all, no matter how much they can be eaten, it is impossible for her to empty out a rice vat chosen by God. Nowadays, the situation in Mera Continent is delicate. In addition to the four major countries, many
Racial movements are taking place frequently, and these changes are brewing sparks of friction, and no one can tell who will become the powder keg.
A scholar who studied magic power advancement in Mela Continent whom Serra knew tried to calculate the time for the next advancement, and the answer he gave was "within ten years."
It is impossible to be more specific, because most of the magic power is in turmoil when it is advanced, and the knowledge inheritance is damaged to a certain extent, so the only time that can be referenced is the time of the first two advancements.
Scholars like him are not willing to make a judgment in order to prevent the magicians from causing trouble for themselves. Even if they make a judgment, it is "within fifty years" and is so wide-ranging.
But Lu Yu told her that in the next one to two years, she would start to advance and further narrow the scope.
Sera, who had no way to confirm the news, was very willing to believe Lu Yu's words, and even she herself didn't know why.
Two years is enough time for Lulu's manor to be built into an airtight magical fortress.
For a moment, she didn't quite understand that a good thing like magic power advancement was like a scourge in the eyes of Lu Yu and others. She and the fog demon blinked their big eyes and looked curiously at Lulu, who was shaking the potion bottle, and Lu, who was tinkering with the summoning manual.
Yu.
Lu Yu, who had just submitted a map of summoned beasts, raised his head: "Because the order collapsed."
Lu Yu poured himself a glass of water, moistened his throat and continued: "Imagine that you are a king, commanding a large territory, and everyone under you is shining in the right position, forming a perfect operation.
The magic circle. Suddenly one day, the people in your territory changed. Some of them were able to sense magic, and some were originally magicians. The sudden opportunity allowed them to peek at a higher level and stronger power.
"
"The magic circle jigsaw puzzlers who were working step by step no longer lowered their heads, because they saw the changes and stretched out their hands to grab this glimmer of hope... You can see the end of life at a glance and you may have more life if you take a gamble.
Which one would you choose? As far as the various areas I have traveled so far, most people have nothing to lose, and the possibility of choosing the latter is higher."
"Hope is like fire, causing cracks to appear in the order, and frightening the men who live at the top of the tower who cannot hear the wailing of the ants at the bottom. Everyone in the order will gain something through the advancement of magic power, and their positions will also change accordingly.
, this change may be changing with each passing day, or it may be the result of accumulation, but the problem brought to the rulers is the same-how to allocate good positions to them."
"And..." Lu Yu slowly placed a long, green melon under an instrument that looked like a guillotine. The wind blade passed through it on his fingertips, causing the melon base to break and his body to be in a different place.
"Whether they are still eligible to be allocated a spot."
Sigrid held her chin and asked: "But magicians with high ranks and strong strength have innate advantages. The advancement of magic power will not harm their interests, but will expand their interests. Ordinary magicians will not be harmed by the advancement of magic power."
No matter how amazingly talented you are, you can't catch up with the veteran magicians in one fell swoop. As long as the magicians still obey the orders of those old masters, then..."
Sigrid suddenly realized something.
Lulu watched as the potion in the bottle gradually stabilized and stopped bubbling. She took off her gloves and said, "If your strength becomes stronger, why should you take orders from people who are not as good as you? In the era of advanced magic,
Every ambitious magician will not be willing to submit to others. If people's thoughts change, it will naturally be full of instability."
Mist Demon and Xu Yu gradually understood some of the reasons why the advancement of magic power will inevitably usher in great turbulence. Changes in power structure and productivity are too complicated. Lu Yu is not going to go into details. These two guys are not yet able to understand.
Sera placed two stacks of scrolls and classics in front of Lu Yu: "These are some descriptions of the turmoil during the first two magic advancements. I suggest you read it and be mentally prepared. Lulu's manor must be safe enough, otherwise
At the moment when order falls apart, many people will be interested in the secrets hidden in Lulu."
Lu Yu flipped through two pages and sighed softly when he looked at the obscure words, knowing that he had another headache.
After washing herself briefly, Lulu ran back to the basement. Seeing that her hair had not been wiped clean, Sierra quickly stepped forward to help.
Lu Yu saw the corners of Sera's mouth rising, but he didn't expose it.
Lulu saw Lu Yu chewing on the scroll and immediately came over.
"It's all related to the great turmoil. In fact, there is no need to know more details. The seventh level should be enough for this advancement. Our manor can completely design piles of magic circles, layer upon layer..."
"Then it was blocked and exploded like the magic circle you gave me?"
Lulu was stunned for a while, and hurriedly wanted to turn around to explain, but found that her long hair was held in Sierra's hand, and she was patiently combing it for herself.
This made Lulu's words soften a bit: "I warned you that the magic circle is still flawed, but you insist that it's fine. Can this also be my problem?"
"It's not the designer's problem, it's the user's problem. If you sell an explosive magic circle, I'm going to sue you."
"Sierra!"
Seeing Lulu jumping around, Sera really felt that nothing was more interesting than teasing Lulu. If she continued like this, she would definitely become addicted.
No, she's addicted!
Lu Yu interjected: "It seems that among the four major countries, only the Theocratic Kingdom has been relatively stable amid the great turmoil."
Lulu snorted: "How come the Theocracy is stable? Pope Laurent is about to die of illness. Once he dies, hum..."
Lu Yu sighed: "Indeed, if the Theocratic State is in chaos, everything will be in vain, but if the Theocratic State's power is transferred normally, then The Theocratic State may look down upon this area."
Lu Yu looked at the admiration in Sera's eyes and continued: "Is this also the reason why you don't plan to be with us?"
"A little bit, not entirely."
The Theocracy is special. Compared with the three kingdoms of Solon, Sligo, and Codzon, the Theocracy rules the spirit of the people.
Along the way, Lu Yu only saw racial cohesion and a sense of belonging that was difficult to break up in Mostana. The fundamental reason why the Blue Water Mushroom people maintained this cohesion and sense of belonging was their belief in Vanessa.
Even if they who regard Vanessa as a god decline and fall apart, their spirits will have a starting point.
At this point, Serel also did very well. Their fanatical sense of national identity allowed them to move towards a common goal even after crossing the sea to a different continent, and eventually annexed a country and made a comeback.
The religions within the three countries of Mera, Solon, Sligo, and Codzon are too confusing, and they lack a strong will to unite them.
The concept of nationality is even more scarce. The nobles have no objection at all to who rules this land. They have only one requirement - to ensure their own interests.
As for the people at the bottom, slaves, it is difficult to expect these people to be loyal to a country. They would rather listen to the sound of gold coins falling on the ground and smell the aroma of food in front of their noses.
There are actually only a small number of people who are truly willing to protect the interests of the ruling class and maintain the rule of the country. Once this small number of people get into chaos, the concept of the country can easily be eliminated. In this chaotic world, countless dynasties have risen and fallen, buried in the pages of time.
Under the yellow sand, most of them have this process.
The Theocracy has an inherent advantage in this regard, and their fanatical beliefs give them a strong sense of identity.
If you believe in the God of Glory, then we are friends.
If you don’t believe in the God of Glory, then I can try to preach to you and tell you how good the God of Glory is.
But if you don’t believe in the God of Glory and still slander us, then we will unleash endless fighting power, and fanatical believers are even willing to break their bodies to defend their beliefs.
Therefore, among the four major countries, the logic of maintaining rule by the Theocracy is significantly different from that of the other three countries.
As long as the people at the bottom are not overly tortured and have the illusion of a glorious god, countless believers will be enslaved obediently without making a sound. No matter what happens to the other three major countries, the Theocracy will be able to survive as long as it remains stable.
As time accumulates, it becomes larger and larger and cannot be destroyed.
Once a spirit is born and spreads widely, it is difficult to be completely destroyed.
Sera was applauding, her smile as bright as a flower.
"Excellent, very well said. This is the true inner thoughts of the leaders of the Theocracy, and it is also the core reason why those who know that the God of Glory does not exist still choose me as the God of Choice."
"The three major countries, plus many races in the Mela Continent, are resisting the mission of the Theocracy. For this reason, the relationship between the Theocracy and them was not very good before. Until Pope Laurent took over, he no longer took the initiative to preach to the three major countries. He abides by
The treaty on missionary work among the three major countries has resulted in the peaceful external environment of the religious countries today."
"But Laurent is seriously ill and is about to die. If the next pope is no longer as far-sighted as Laurent..."
Sera walked to Lu Yu.
"Although I refused for you before, the Pope can't eat now. He said he wants to see how you eat... you just have to go over once."
Lu Yu was dumbfounded: "You really think I'm a glutton. I eat twenty prawns, dozens of fish, and even eat children alive in one meal!"
"There's no need to be so exaggerated. You can just eat normally. To be honest, your heroic eating appearance... is really quite appetizing."
