Salvatore frowned, held the newly lit cigar in his mouth, and carefully turned over the paper Longjing Tea handed over.
He had never had the habit of smoking before.
Because of the curse [Sleepless Reflection], Salvatore was forced to stay up late every day and could not go to bed until three in the morning. He could only sleep for a maximum of six hours a day, and lived on the edge of sudden death at any time.
He doesn't dare to touch either cigarettes or alcohol. He only dares to take those stimulant-type transformation products that have lower side effects and have a stronger ability to nourish and repair the body.
After all, he couldn't catch up on sleep.
Salvatore's biggest problem.
The difference now is that he has successfully advanced to become an alchemist.
His cigar was a curse he made specially for himself. The content inside was not tobacco leaves, but an unknown medicine he refined that could be used to repair the body.
"Alchemist", an ancient silver-level profession, has not been completely eliminated even in modern times. Obviously, it still makes sense.
A large part of the reason for the rise of transformation wizards is that extraordinary beings in the "blood war" era would be easily hunted if they did not have sufficient self-protection capabilities.
Especially at that time, except for the Duchy of Winter, which was successfully established by the people of the Winter family in an instant because the old grandmother was still sleeping, and the Theocracy, which gathered a large number of righteous gods and could easily hold up a small barrier, the old rule in other places
Has completely fallen apart.
At that time, the Theocracy had not yet established the Sky City, and many churches were huddled together on the ground. Just the mutual conquests and conquests between the Orthodox Churches were enough to make the Theocracy become a mess.
And no one will go to the Principality of Winter... even more.
Even vegetable resources are very scarce in the Principality of Winter, especially during the winter. People in Winter even have to eat a lot of raw meat from frost beasts to supplement their vitamins, not to mention the blizzard that covers the entire territory.
At that time, many Winter people were forced to flee the Principality of Winter and became mercenaries in other countries. A large part of the Bloodline of Winter remaining in other countries today comes from this historical background.
Extraordinary beings can only go to the territory of Silver Siren and Yaweng.
At that time, Sir Silver lived in what is now the Kingdom of Noah, and Sir Silver lived in what is now the capital of Denisoa Kingdom. Therefore, the remaining extraordinary beings immediately began to strangle each other around these two places.
But at that time, the Kingdom of Noah had not been established at all, and Denisoah was still a principality. Rather than a conquest by various countries for territory, it was more like a cruel "expulsion war."
In addition, there was no underground federation at that time, and the wise men realized very clearly that after a large amount of land was submerged and the big barrier collapsed, it would instantly lead to a shortage of resource types. And the restrictions of the gray fog and the barrier would limit
The people in each barrier can communicate with each other.
Later resources may not be enough to keep everyone alive at that time.
So they need a war.
Use war to relieve population pressure...redraw the tenure of habitable land.
This is a war that requires almost no prisoners. It is also the first war in the world that does not target resource plunder and population plunder.
Even if the warlords on all sides know that in the end everyone may gradually merge, the fewer people the enemy has left, the better the lives of the people on the friendly side will be, and the higher the power of the friendly side will be.
"Winter" has an irreplaceable meaning, because only they can tame the frost beast, and the frost beast is the only food ration in winter.
The first generation of "Noah" used extraordinary political wisdom, persuasion, deception, betrayal, alliance, and finally established rule with absolute military superiority under perfect operation.
The Theocracy finally established the "Pure Hall", which did not establish a separate king, but the Popes of the Seven Gods took turns to serve as the Pope.
At that time, the Grand Duke "Denisoya" immediately established himself as queen. He voluntarily gave up most of the powers that originally belonged to the king and established the Privy Council.
In the "Denisoya Privy Council" system, the Privy Council is divided into three levels: "Advisory Council", "Committee" and "Member Council".
Among them, the "Chief of Advisors" is appointed by the contemporary pope of Javon, and has the right to select several people from the committee to serve as advisors every year; "Committees" and "members" can roughly correspond to members of the upper and lower houses, who have the ability to propose and amend a certain item.
Power of bills. Bills proposed by the members need to be passed by the committee and then enter the advisory committee; bills proposed by the committee can directly enter the advisory committee.
The power of advisors has been greatly enhanced. Core ministers including foreign affairs, finance, national defense, culture and education, and justices are all selected only from advisors. As long as the majority of advisors agree, the advisors can pass or veto a law without the king. The king
The only reserved power is to "remove advisors". In other cases, the king is only equal to other advisors.
——The first-generation consultants were selected directly from local nobles. They could also be purchased with sky-high funds.
There is no doubt that Grand Duke Denisoya directly betrayed his existing political power.
His purpose is that instead of trying to preserve during the war and stabilize the unstable power he already has as the new king after the war, it is better to simply use part of the power that may be taken away later as bait to make the war the best possible outcome.
Ended quickly.
This change, which seemed like poison to quench thirst, allowed Grand Duke Denisoya to instantly win the support of many nobles in the original principality who were originally opposed or neutral, and raised a huge amount of funds in a short period of time.
He then used this huge amount of money, or the quota of the "Advisory Council", to bribe the great nobles of other countries to purchase intelligence, or ask them to betray at critical moments; he also used the quota of the "Committee" to go to the domestic
Collect a large number of extraordinary people and outstanding technical and military talents, and then use the "membership association" to collect outstanding veterans, workers and businessmen.
The betrayal of a large number of nobles and extraordinary beings, as well as the betrayal that they may face at any time in the future, made Denisoya panic and there was no single enemy. And those nobles who defected to Denisoya also entered the committee.
Finally, the Kingdom of Denisoa was initially formed.
Because of the decisiveness of Archduke Denisoya, they were the fastest country to end the bloody war and establish a stable rule. Because of this, they suffered the least losses in the end, and even gathered more talents than the Theocracy.
As for the submission of the Field Islands, that happened after the bloody battle.
The extraordinary beings who were unwilling to join, or even simply hostile to the Noah and Denisoya families, had only one last place to go after the Noah Kingdom and Denisoya were established.
That's underground.
The underground world at that time was a forbidden place with no moral laws.
The current inheritance of the Transformation Wizard was formed in the early days of the Blood War - in order to play a role in the legion war and to form combat effectiveness when alone. The inheritance of the "Alchemist" was already complete at that time.
outdated.
But for Salvatore... the "Transformation Wizard" is out of date, and has even deviated from the original path.
The core concept of the Transformation School is to use what already exists to create something that does not yet exist.
And today's transformation wizard...
How long has it been since there was no new invention?
Over the past few decades, almost all of them have been improvements to old inventions.
The days when many new inventions were invented every year are no longer the case.
Although Salvatore doesn’t know how far he can go...
——He just doesn’t want to admit defeat before trying.
