Now that the plan has been finalized, everyone is naturally waiting for its execution. Although they don't know what Fang Zheng can do, since the other party is full of confidence, there is naturally no need to say anything more.
but……
"Ms. Fiore, I want to talk to you about something. It's about the Thousand Worlds Tree."
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Fiore's breathing paused slightly, then she glanced at Colles and Gold beside her and nodded.
"I understand, Mr. Fang Zheng, please follow me and let's talk in private."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded, and then he and Fiore left the room. Looking at their departing backs, Gold sighed and slumped in his chair. Coles hesitated for a moment, and in the end, he did not choose to follow them, but silently closed the door.
Although it had been attacked before, the courtyard was fortunately not affected. Fang Zheng and Fiore strolled in the courtyard, admiring the scenery. Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, thinking about what he wanted to say, and then he asked.
"What will happen to the Thousand Worlds Tree after this war is over?"
"……I have no idea."
Although she was mentally prepared, Fiore still lowered her head when faced with Fang Zheng's question.
"Uncle Danic has devoted everything to this rebellion, whether it's blood, magic or property, he has put everything on the line. But if we lose, all this effort will be in vain... I'm afraid the Magic Association will not let us go. They will confiscate our property, including the research results and patents accumulated over many years of hard work. I'm afraid they will all be transferred away, and the already weak Thousand Worlds Tree may be forced to disband..."
Fiore's voice got deeper as she spoke. After all, this was her family, and she felt a little breathless when she thought about what was going to happen next.
At this moment, Fang Zheng's voice suddenly sounded in Fiore's ears.
"Do you know why I chose to support the Thousand Worlds Tree?"
"Why?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Fiore looked up at the man beside her in surprise, while Fang Zheng stared into the distance.
"Because I admire your philosophy. Although it is a bit rough and even reckless, you at least show a spirit of not fearing power. As an oppressed class, you dare to use this method to fight against the oppressive class. Although Danik's subsequent actions were a bit paranoid, I admire his determination and perseverance."
Having said this, Fang Zheng paused.
"The Thousand Worlds Tree will not disband. It will become a beacon of the new century and open a brand new chapter."
"Mr. Fang Zheng...?"
Fiore's eyes widened when she heard this.
"I have made up my mind, Miss Fiore."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked towards Fiore.
"Once I win the Holy Grail War, I hope to be able to lead the Thousand World Tree Clan... Of course, I need your support."
"this……"
A feeling that was not sure whether it was surprise or shock echoed in Fiore's chest. She clasped her hands tightly together and stared at Fang Zheng.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, are you really...but why?"
"I want to change this world, not just the Thousand Worlds Tree, nor the magic society, but the entire world. To do this, I need power, influence, and manpower. Most importantly, we share the same ideals. The Magic Association has become corrupt and ugly, no different from a dying old woman. I want to overthrow the Magic Association, eliminate the so-called traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years, and re-create a brand new order for the magic world that belongs to the new era."
"……this……"
"Ms. Fiore."
Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at Fiore again.
"Do you really think that bloodline is necessary for the magician family?"
"This is... of course?"
Fiore had no doubts about this. The magician family would inherit the magic seal from generation to generation, and the magic seal was something like an "organ" and could hardly be matched with non-blood relatives. This was why the magician family always attached great importance to bloodline.
"Yes, that's the case for now, but... it restricts magicians, doesn't it? As the heir of the Thousand World Tree Clan, you must have seen many declining magic families. Don't they have magic marks? No, they have the marks passed down by their ancestors, but they can't control themselves to give birth to children with magician blood who can bear the marks. This is also the reason why many magic families decline from generation to generation. Moreover, due to the rule that the magician clan only passes on the rules to the heir, once this heir has any problems, it is possible that the magic mark will be lost. And this... is the biggest problem encountered by the magician clan at present, isn't it?"
"…You are right, that is indeed the case…"
"In the ancient past, this might have been a last resort, but... in this day and age, this practice is no longer appropriate. Moreover, it is precisely because of this that the nobles of the Magic Association firmly control the upper echelons of magicians..."
Fang Zheng was of course very clear about the situation in the Type-Moon world. For any magus, a magic mark was more important than life. However, due to its "organ" nature, it was almost impossible to transplant it to non-blood relatives.
However, if you have a large branch family, you can divide the magic seal and let those who have magic qualities but no magic seal in the family get some of the seal. Although this will cause some damage to the magic seal as the mother body, it can be healed with care. This means that as long as you pay a little bit of branches, you can get the loyalty of the branch faction and political and financial support.
It was precisely because of this reason that the old nobles in the Magic Association had become unprecedentedly powerful, so that those ordinary magic families were like small grasses facing towering trees, and they could do nothing but tremble in fear in front of them.
“So, I want to change the status quo.”
"How are you going to...change this situation?"
"First, we need to modify the Magic Mark to make it more adaptable. Although we don't expect to be able to transplant the Magic Mark to anyone at the beginning, we at least need to allow it to be transplanted to people with non-specific blood and magical talent."
Fang Zheng has obviously thought deeply about this.
"Once we master this technology, we can call on the vast majority of lower-level magicians, calling on those who share the same ideas and thoughts as us to join us in fighting against the Magic Association. Of course, we don't want those with bad records or blood on their hands. We are not a paradise for criminals and exiles. We are revolutionaries who want to overthrow the current corrupt rule of the Magic Association and create a new century."
"this……!!"
Hearing this, Fiore felt her whole body begin to tremble, and an indescribable excitement burst out from her body. She certainly understood how much those declining families wanted their magic imprints to continue to be passed down. But many times, because their families did not give birth to enough heirs with magical talents, they could only watch the knowledge passed down by their ancestors being erased.
That kind of heartache and pain is simply heart-wrenching.
And if the Thousand World Tree really mastered the technology that could allow non-blood relatives to transplant magic imprints, then Fiore believed that those small, nearly extinct magic families would join them at all costs! Just to continue to pass on the magic imprints of their ancestors!
But... all of this is based on being able to transform the characteristics of magic imprints. If this cannot be done, then everything is just empty talk.
So the question is, can this... be done?
This question emerged deep in Fiore's mind, and then she immediately gave an answer.
Of course! As long as Fang Zheng can win the Holy Grail War and obtain the third method, then transforming the magic seal will not be a problem for them at all!
Not only that, as smart as Fiore is, she has already thought about the consequences for the Magic Association once this technology is completed.
It will completely collapse the Magic Association's rule that has lasted for thousands of years!!!
