Erasing the magic mark was not an idea that Fang Zheng came up with on the spur of the moment, but a decision made after careful consideration.

Because the magic mark itself is the magician's shackles.

This is actually very clear if you look at Fiore and Heine. They actually don't want to inherit the Magic Mark, but they have to. This is also normal. There were not so many choices in ancient times, but modern society is different. People have more and more choices and will not dwell on the past. For example, Fiore prefers to explore different worlds, and if Heine hadn't been because of his sister's physical condition, he would have left long ago.

There are actually quite a few magicians like this, not just those of the new era. Many heirs of large families with traditional heritage also have similar ideas.

This is essentially the same as a century-old store. I don't want to inherit my family's century-old store. I would rather learn painting or play music. But the world of magicians is much darker and more cruel than this.

In fact, according to the general routine - or the routine in Fang Zheng's hometown, it should be to use the routine of surrounding the city from the countryside. However, in this world, Fang Zheng chose to confront the Clock Tower first, rather than trying to win over other magician families who were dissatisfied with it. Naturally, it was also because of the special environment of the magician family.

Because in Fang Zheng's hometown, the individual differences between people are not that obvious, and a farmer with a pitchfork can block the landlord from leaving the house. But in the magic world, the power of magic engravings is very strong, especially those inherited engravings from ancient families.

Therefore, the difference between the ancient magic family and the new magic family is like that between the big spenders and the newbies. Even if they are both newly created characters, one spends a lot of money frantically to gain various experience points, increase buffs, and has a set of heirlooms all over his body right after birth, while the other can only fight monsters with blank equipment pitifully.

Of course, Fang Zheng is not saying that everyone is equal. Humans are social class animals. It has been like this since primitive times. Even primitive people without magic marks would wear skull jewelry from trophies or tattoo themselves to show their superiority. Even in the ivory tower of school, students with good grades are also superior to those with poor grades. In the Olympic Games, those who run faster are better than those who run slower.

Not to mention, the reason why human beings have been able to develop to this day is because of the mutual competition brought about by class nature.

So it is normal that some people create a small account with a full set of heirlooms, while others start with a blank slate.

But it is another matter if all the people wearing heirlooms unite to exclude blank players and prevent them from entering dungeons to upgrade.

This is why Fang Zheng wants to erase all the magic marks.

Indeed, the magic seal itself is not a symbol of evil, but it has become the power of those noble families who tried to hold power in the old times. They have powerful magic seals, so they can suppress the newcomers at will. This is like fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the land. It is not because the land is bad, nor because the landlords are bad. In fact, there are good landlords, but the existence of the landlord class itself monopolizes the farmland, forcing others to cultivate it, pay rent and collect grain. It is impossible to guarantee enough food and clothing, which threatens the survival rights of most farmers.

That is why it is necessary to uniformly reclaim farmland and then redistribute it. After paying it to the state, the rest is yours.

Furthermore, the noble magicians claimed that seeking the root was the only goal of a magician, and that all magicians who did not aim for the root were inferior. This was also extremely bad.

It is precisely because of this that other magician families have to follow suit. In fact, perhaps many of them have no interest in the origin, perhaps they were just doing research at the beginning, or they were simply curious. However, under the shadow of the Magic Association, all dissent was erased, and all magicians were like worker ants, having to fight for the same goal.

In this situation, it would not be very effective for Fang Zheng to unite other new generation magician families first, because they cannot win anyway.

Therefore, he must first destroy the Clock Tower, completely erase the magic seals of the Twelve Lords, completely defeat their families, and completely destroy their forces. Only then can the new generation of magicians have the confidence to support and follow the Thousand Worlds Tree.

Oh, and after that there is the Cathedral Church.

But it won’t be too late to attack it after Fang Zheng has attacked the Magic Association. He has even burned all the gods and Buddhas in the Fairy Sword World, so why would he care about such a stupid church?

After talking with Lanis, Fang Zheng took the girls back to Japan, and then found Fiore and gave her a few words, and then handed the Ten Thousand Demon Eyeballs to Fiore for safekeeping. Fiore was also very surprised that Fang Zheng had obtained so many magic eyes. However, good things like magic eyes are naturally more the better, so she accepted them.

Fang Zheng was not worried that someone would come to snatch the Ten Thousand Demon Eye Bank after the news of the Thousand Worlds Tree getting out would spread. The reason was very simple - he had already summoned hundreds of heroes to stand guard at the Thousand Worlds Tree base and the Ritual Garden.

Although there is no Holy Grail War, the Heroic Spirits will not necessarily leave the Seat of Heroes, especially since Fang Zheng has made a request, and there are many Heroic Spirits willing to respond to these requests. Most of them want to experience modern life, and many of them agree with Fang Zheng's idea.

After all, there are many heroes among the Heroic Spirits who resist tyrants and overthrow tyranny. After Fang Zheng gave a detailed account of the current situation of the Thousand Worlds Tree and the Magic Association, they were willing to lend a helping hand to Fang Zheng.

Of course, in order to conceal their identities, Fang Zheng also gave them various jobs. For example, Mr. Shan was responsible for guarding the gate of Liyuan, Charlotte was responsible for being a cook, and Medea pretended to be a student in Liyuan - well, everyone was quite happy with it.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Fang Zheng did not summon the Berserker.

There may also be psychological reasons.

He always felt that if he summoned a Berserker, a smiling muscular man would definitely appear...

By the way, he didn't summon any spearmen either, and the reason was even simpler.

After all, lucky E.

After that, Fang Zheng changed back into a red ponytail and went to visit the families of the twelve monarchs.

Unfortunately, the effect is not great.

Strictly speaking, Fang Zheng's goal was achieved.

That was a declaration of war.

And now, she has come to the last of the twelve families of the Magic Association.

The territory of Animusphia.

"Phew...it's really cold."

Fang Zheng exhaled and rubbed her hands, while the blonde girl standing next to her looked at her with interest.

"I never thought that Miss Red Ponytail would also be afraid of the cold."

"It's not strange to be afraid of the cold. Besides, it's just a little cold."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at the blonde girl beside him.

"But to be honest, I didn't expect you to come along, Lanis."

"Because recently in the Clock Tower, the matter about the Thousand Worlds Tree has caused quite a stir. After all, Miss Red Ponytail, you broke into someone's house and announced it to them..."

Having said this, Lanis smiled gently.

"I guess you know the consequences."

"This is not a political negotiation, so why should we care about what they think?"

"Then can you satisfy my curiosity? Who is willing to accept the solicitation of your Thousand World Tree?"

"So far? Tranberio and Baruyeleta have taken some actions, but it seems that they still cannot accept the need to erase the magic seal."

"This is normal. After all, for the magician family, seals are everything to them. Can't you be flexible?"

“No compromise.”

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"It is necessary to erase all magic seals. They can choose to keep the records in the seals in other ways, but the magic seals themselves must be erased. This is the root of the problem that causes the current differentiation in the world of magicians."

"Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Lanis sighed, and at this moment, she squinted her eyes and looked into the distance.

"Oh, it looks like it's here already."

As Lanis spoke, two figures slowly appeared from the other side of the mountain trail in the cold wind. One of them was a girl of about eleven or twelve years old. She had long silver hair and a determined look in her eyes. She was the next generation heir of Animusphia whom Fang had seen on the Magic Eye Collection Train before - Olga Marie Yasmiret Animusphia.

Next to her was a tall, middle-aged man with a silver-white slicked-back hair, wearing a suit coat. He was holding a cane in his hand and walking slowly towards her.

"Hey, Olga Marie, long time no see."

Fang Zheng waved at her, and when Olga Marie saw Fang Zheng, her expression changed slightly. She hesitated, lowered her head and lifted her skirt to return the greeting.

"Long time no see, Miss Red Ponytail."

"Seeing that you are doing well, I feel relieved."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Olga Marie, Fang Zheng looked at the man next to him.

"So, this is the leader of Animusphia."

"Marisbili Animusphia."

The man introduced himself calmly.

"I have heard about your Thousand World Tree. Frankly speaking, Animusphia is not interested in it."

"But I am very interested in the Animusphia clan."

Fang Zheng looked at Marisbury in front of him with a smile.

"Since ancient times, celestial bodies have been the symbol of mankind's yearning for and exploration of the unknown. The stars in the sky, the movement paths of the sun and the moon, all of these changes, mysteries, meanings, the existence and development of the universe. Isn't that the goal of your astronomy department? In fact, your astronomy department and the other families in the Clock Tower are completely incompatible."

“…What do you mean?”

"It's very simple. The exploration and observation of stars is a history of progress. People gradually master, discover, and explore new constellations, galaxies, and planets... This runs counter to the concept that the Magic Association has always held. That's why the Animusphia family has lived in seclusion in the mountains for generations and refused to participate in the battle of the Clock Tower, right? For you, the more you explore the starry sky, the more infinite mysteries you will find. The Magic Association's old and conservative research model is simply not in line with you."

“…”

Upon hearing this, Marisbilly remained silent, while Olga Marie and Lenise both showed surprised expressions. They also knew that the Animusphia clan rarely left the mountains, but they originally thought that they were hermits. They didn't expect that there was such a possibility?

Is it that astronomy is inherently incompatible with the Clock Tower?

"You should know my intention very well, but I won't say those political slogans to you. I'll say something more practical."

Fang Zheng stared at Marisbury.

"Give up the Magic Seal, leave the Clock Tower, and join the Thousand Worlds Tree. We will give you sufficient compensation."

Fang Zheng's attitude towards Animusphia is different from that of other families. The reason is very simple. He recruited the Animusphia family as scientists.

That's right, Animusphia studies celestial bodies and the universe, and although their history and magic are based on the earth, this kind of magical research is also useful for the exploration of outer space.

"interesting."

Maris Billy chuckled.

"So, what can you, the Thousand World Tree, give us?"

“That’s a good question.”

Hearing Marisbury's question, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers proudly.

The next moment, suddenly, the earth began to tremble, and a huge shadow suddenly emerged, covering the sky.
