This world is undoubtedly cruel, and the ways to gain power are very limited. No matter how complicated the method is, it cannot avoid magic and divine arts, or it can be directly classified as magic.
For those who do not have magical talent, it becomes extremely difficult to gain power.
Generally speaking, one has to diligently hone one's skills, pass the church's assessment to get the opportunity to drink the divine potion and become a clergyman, or rely on the inheritance of family blood to become a blood knight, in order to gain power beyond normal people.
Lin En even speculated that these so-called families that inherited powerful strength should be descendants of some extremely powerful shaping wizards.
The church did not kill them all, or perhaps Ella thought that these people did not pose any threat at all.
It is precisely because there are not many ways to obtain power, so even William, who possesses a lot of wealth and noble status, needs to rely on means such as the evil god statue.
According to the information that Lord and others have learned these days, worshiping evil gods is not a rare thing among some nobles, and it is even very popular in the Sekas Empire.
This is indeed a shortcut to becoming stronger quickly, but unfortunately it is also a trap...
Lin En looked at the statue of the Blood God in his hand over and over again. He had always been very curious about what divine magic was that could allow a person to display all kinds of wonderful supernatural powers without understanding the principles of magic.
Obviously, this was not the exclusive domain of the church. He had sensed something was wrong when dealing with the Doomsday Church believers before. Shadow magic was very difficult to practice, and most of it was recorded. However, when raiding the Doomsday Church headquarters, a large number of wizards who could use shadow magic emerged.
It is very likely that it was granted through some kind of divine magic! Lin En pondered for a long time. In fact, his behavior of connecting with wizards through the magic network and accessing computing power is somewhat similar to the faith-based god method created by psychic wizards. Both use external forces to increase their own power limit.
The difference is that his methods are relatively mild, and he used the intelligent brain as a carrier. Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that Lin En did not sense the mental pollution that Harov and others mentioned...
Since some knowledge can be directly transmitted to other people's minds through intelligent brains, if the other party's mental frequency is completely cracked, will it be possible to bestow magic on others like divine power?
Maybe I can find an opportunity to try it.
As he was thinking, a faint light appeared on the index finger of his right hand, and Lynn immediately realized that Anthony had entered the magic realm again.
In the small universe of magical simulation, Anthony stepped into the void, gazing at the starry sky that was constantly moving under his feet.
Different from the simple shock in the past, after systematically studying the knowledge of Olympiad mathematics, he was able to calculate the relative position and movement rules of each star.
The contact during these days made Anthony realize that the breadth of Lynn's knowledge far exceeded his expectations. He knew everything from the formation of thunder and lightning to the laws governing the operation of the universe and the stars.
However, in Lynn's words, this knowledge is just the basics of the basics, the most superficial laws of the world, while the internal causes are another more profound subject.
That is most likely a world that can only be felt in the legendary realm!
"It seems you have something to talk to me about? Anthony?" Lynn's figure appeared in the magic field and asked in confusion. Now is not the time for teaching.
"That's right." Anthony nodded, and then spoke again. "Recently, the old king's health has been deteriorating, and the dispute between the two princes has intensified. Now the second prince Hattar is trying to win over or clip some of the other prince's wings."
"You can say that." Lin En responded easily.
"That makes things much easier." Anthony breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Lynn about his plan for the magic kingdom.
To put it simply, it is to secretly support the second prince Hattar to take the throne, instigate the royal family and some nobles to confront the Church, allow wizards to have a home in this country, and create a magical world that controls this kingdom in secret.
But after knowing the existence of the wizard land and the [Society of Mysticism], Anthony's appetite has undoubtedly grown a lot. Perhaps they can go a step further and cooperate with the royal family and some nobles to completely eradicate the influence of the local church and build a country that truly belongs to wizards!
However, if this happens, they will then have to face the attacks from the Holy See and the Secas Empire, which is not something that wizards from a single school can contend with, so Anthony must confirm the attitude of the Wizarding Land and the [Society of Mysticism].
"Then after your magic kingdom is built, who will be the real rulers of this kingdom, the wizards or the nobles..." Lynn asked suddenly after listening to Anthony's story.
"Of course..." Anthony wanted to say it was a wizard, but he knew very well that the power of the nobles was deeply rooted in the kingdom and could not be easily shaken.
"Wizards and the royal family can work together to manage the nobles, and then let the nobles manage the civilians!" Anthony said thoughtfully, this is the most reasonable move.
"If this goes on, there will be problems sooner or later. Since those nobles are tired of being trampled over by the Church, they will never tolerate wizards doing the same thing." Lin En said with certainty.
"Are you planning to maintain the status quo?" Anthony frowned.
In fact, he had never thought about gaining control of each territory before. As long as the Kingdom of Hadratha allowed the existence of wizards and allowed them to study magic openly without having to hide, it would be a great victory in his opinion!
In this way, there would be no conflicts between the nobles and wizards.
"No." Lynn shook her head. "Your plan for the Magic Kingdom is good, but it's too low-level!"
Anthony paused for a moment, not quite understanding what the other party meant.
"In my opinion, the Kingdom of Hadrata does not need nobles, let alone a king!" Lin En said solemnly.
The most taboo thing about reform is that it is not thorough, leaving behind a large number of old interest groups, which become maggots that disintegrate the system from within, not to mention that the contradictions between them and the nobles are sharp and unavoidable.
To use the simplest analogy, if most of the kingdom's subjects entered the factory and obeyed his orders, then where was the rights and dignity of the nobles?
So it is only a matter of time before conflicts break out...
