Chapter 18 Is it a rational decision?

 There are many mysteries that are difficult to explain in the history of human civilization. If you look for the answers from the perspective of occultism, the answers will be clear. This may mean that the external and internal truth of the world is the internal and external appearance of the mirror. The same or opposite can be used accurately.

Summarize the specious nature.

How did the Second Kingdom of Britannia rise up in a desperate situation, defeat its powerful enemy, and win the Hundred Years War? How did the Archmage Merlin make his magic system widely known and gradually replace the potion system? Great Britannia

Why did the kingdom send troops to the two powerful countries for no reason and launch a war of justice in the name of "putting down the rebellion"?

These questions were unknown mysteries in the past, but when they were shrouded in a veil called mystery, they became clear and coherent. As a college student in the history department, Ringer felt that he understood the world for the first time.

So shallow, this feeling was stronger, especially when he saw both the magician and the vampire appear in front of him.

"You don't need me to tell you the result of the Battle of Suzheng. What's worth mentioning is the combat effectiveness displayed by the magic army in this battle." Rochelle said: "The actual effectiveness of magic weapons in large-scale wars

The effect of the application exceeded everyone's imagination. General Buckne, who was supported by the magic community of the Republic, faced the fierce offensive of the Magic Legion and was defeated after not being able to survive for more than a month. The government of the Republic had to urgently send troops to fight.

In the name of 'mediation', the two sides engaged in another month of fighting. During the process, General Buckner was beheaded by the secret mobile force of the Dragoon Regiment under the strict protection of several great magicians. This battle was enough to shock the world."
"The Archduke of Mainz of the Mindrias Empire has a hope of victory, because Solomon has pointed out to him the fatal flaw of the magic army: the supply problem. The use of magic weapons relies on the core metal that stores magic power inside, and also

It is called magic crystal. Making magic crystal requires a large amount of Olihagan metal and mithril metal. Limited by the productivity at the time, the excavation of these two magic metals within the kingdom progressed very slowly, and the production capacity was limited.

Once there is a problem with the transportation line, it will lead to a complete collapse of the war situation. However, the self-willed Archduke Mainz categorically rejected Solomon's suggestion and tried to break through the enemy on the frontal battlefield. In the end, the entire army was annihilated, even the several great magicians who accompanied the army.

The entire army was captured, and only Solomon escaped."

These are the details of the Battle of Suzheng. Linge listened attentively.

"How could the Republic and the Empire, which had suffered such heavy losses, swallow their anger and prepare to mobilize their armies. Originally, according to this trend, this conflict would evolve into affecting the three major powers, three systems and the entire Western Continent.

A world-class war. But at this moment, something unexpected happened."

Ringer thought of the history of the world and immediately understood: "The Kingdom of Great Brita took the initiative to request negotiations?"

"That's right."

Rochelle slowly moved her gaze downwards, landing on the marble floor where her feet were. Her gaze was actually deeper, and she saw the wider land under the floor: "As you know, at that time, Dorothy

City, now the city of Nimschel, held a meeting of the Eversummer Palace. The three parties signed the "Eternal Summer Palace Treaty" and formally reconciled. The Kingdom of Great Brita proposed in the treaty that it was willing to share some magic technology with the two countries, provided that

It is they who must terminate their cooperation with the magicians."

"I have said before that what those in power need is not a double-edged sword that can hurt others and themselves, but a weapon that is easier to control. Compared with the free and loose and extremely unstable magicians, the magic army in the hands of the state has

It was not an equal choice, so they accepted the treaty without hesitation. This approach completely failed the magicians who died in the Battle of Suzheng, and was considered to have 'betrayed the interests of the magicians'.

Infamous in the occult history of later generations."

"According to the 26th "Management Regulations" of the "Treaty of Yongxia Palace", wild magicians who are unwilling to obey the control will be eliminated. Only magicians who accept the control can coexist. The former is like the blood-red feast.

Cult organizations that are fundamentally mutually exclusive from the outside world and the vast majority of secret societies that do not want to lose their freedom. The latter include the royal family, magicians of noble origin, and... us."

Rochelle stretched out her rough palm and pressed it gently on her heart, as if pressing a hard and cold rock: "From that time on, all religious organizations must register with the national religious belief management department and accept control.

Believers in animism are no exception. But everyone knows that this is just a stop-gap measure, a compromise made because they cannot completely eliminate all magicians in a short time. However, it is not giving up, their pace has always been

Under pressure and coercion."

"So, in 1205 AD, the Steam Development Conference was also held in the city of Nimsher. On the surface, it was to discuss the innovation and sharing of steam technology. In fact, it was to bind steam technology and magic technology together, and stipulate that magicians

Countries, nobles, churches, business associations and even individuals that have cooperative relationships are not allowed to use these two technologies to conduct any research or production operations. Violators will be arrested by governments and the Steam Order."

"In 1412 AD, in the city of Nimschel, the International Law Discussion Conference signed the "Criminal Law and International Extradition Convention". On the surface, it was to pursue the crimes of international criminals. In fact, it limited the scope of activities of magicians and appeared in non-passable areas.

Magicians without legal certificates will be regarded as wild magicians. No matter which country they are in or what their identity is, they will be extradited to the two violent organizations united by the order: the Night Watch or the Scale of Order for judgment.

After the convention comes into effect, magicians from the royal family and nobles will no longer be able to use their identities to escape their crimes."

"In 1456 AD, in the city of Nimsher, the "Initiative Convention on Truth and Civilization" was ostensibly an initiative treaty against superstition and advocating science. In fact, it was a large-scale academic purge jointly led by religious groups and actively participated by governments of various countries.

Incident. Under the banner of 'anti-superstition', all books related to occultism were confiscated, and people were prohibited from discussing information about extraordinary people, magicians and even magic tools. Once they come into contact with similar suspicious characters, they will be arrested and detained immediately.

, prohibiting folk scholars from studying 'absurd' magic technology, and at the same time, massively revising textbooks to erase all traces of mystery in history."

"This era is considered the fourth dark age of the mysterious world, which lasted until around 1750 AD. For three hundred years, it almost completely erased the traces of the mysterious existence and isolated it from ordinary people.

From then on, magic and supernatural beings were regarded as legends or stories. Ordinary people lived in the real world jointly constructed by the Night Watch and the Balance of Order, and could not easily access knowledge that went against common sense. The birth of extraordinary people and magicians

The soil was completely erased."

……

No wonder the boundary between the outer world and the inner world is so clear. It turned out to have been secretly manipulated and modified. Are the cruel and brutal purge operations of the Night Watch and the Balance of Order also to cut off the possibility of ordinary people coming into contact with occult knowledge?

Ringer was thoughtful.

"Due to its proximity to the three major powers, many international conferences have chosen to be held in this city. Under the glorious history of Nimshel City, which is known as the 'International City', the tragedies and pain of countless magicians are buried."
Rochelle said, slowly raising her head and looking outside the museum gate. The city's high-rise buildings stretched endlessly. Tourists from all over the world gathered here to enjoy the rare things at the World Expo. Only his eyes were...

So deep and obscure: "The most recent conference was the Religious Development Conference held here in 1775. At that conference, various countries reached an agreement. I think you should also know it very well, Mr. Ringer."
The young man nodded heavily and read its name in a low voice: "Initiative Convention on the Promotion of Restrictive Laws on Pseudo Religions, Cults and Other Illegal Religious Organizations." It is precisely because of the provisions of this convention that governments of various countries began to cooperate with religious organizations.

The Youth League united and issued... the "Religious Decree."

"That's right." Rochelle's tone did not waver much, only her usual stability and firmness: "At first, it only targeted believers in animism, and then expanded to all religions except the United Order. Their purpose has already been

If it is revealed, if you do not resist, it will only lead to destruction."

"But how to resist?" Ringer couldn't help but ask: "I think when the enemy is too strong, giving up is the wise choice."

Not to mention the convention jointly signed by all the countries in the Western Continent, the alliance of religious groups alone is so powerful that it is terrifying and terrifying.

Rochelle turned back and glanced at Ringer: "Yes, giving up is naturally rational and the right choice, but it is not the most appropriate choice. For believers, being devoted to gods and dedicating themselves to gods will

This is the true meaning of walking on the earth and seeing spirituality."

Lin Ge opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. Should he continue to persuade, or should he agree? No matter which attitude, it seemed that it was not the young man's original intention.

But what is his original intention?

"I'm sorry that you came all the way to Nimschel City and listened to what I said for such a long time." Rochelle had turned around, her back to Ringer, as if she was about to leave, but the rock

The thick voice still came: "Mr. Ringer, I have always thought that you are a true believer, and I still think so until now. Maybe you are just confused, or maybe you are just hesitant... I can't give you any help,

Because every believer has his own god to serve and his own path to walk. The only advice I can give you is to leave this city as soon as possible if there is nothing important."

"The whirlpool is brewing, and the landslide is collapsing. Since you know nothing, you are not the one who must be involved. It may be better to go your own way, but don't forget-"

He glanced at Ringer one last time, his brown eyes flashing with meaningful light: "Only when we are united can we achieve our goals."

"If one day you figure it out and want to stand up and fight against an extremely powerful enemy for your beliefs or other things, then I'm afraid you will need this sentence."

"Good luck to you and goodbye."

After saying this, he left without looking back and quickly disappeared into the crowd without leaving a trace.

Only the young man was left on the spot, staring blankly in the direction he was leaving.

A thought suddenly emerged in my mind: That doesn't seem to be the direction to leave the museum.
