Chapter 133 Civilization Inheritance
Chapter 133
Due to the incident in which Marco murdered Lynn, Lynn decided to move to the fifth floor and live there for a while until she obtained citizenship.
Anyway, both Martha and Daven are already citizens of the Mechanical City and own their own properties.
Comparing the two, Lin En naturally chose Daven, who was simple-minded and looked silly.
Daven's residence is large and spacious, with many floors and rooms one after another.
But surprisingly, there was almost nothing in the house except empty corridors and endless rooms.
There were no servants, no followers, not even a robot or a puppet.
Because Daven spent almost all his time studying mechanics in the basement, he even saved time for cooking. When he was hungry, he would go to Martha's next door for meals.
Now that Lin En has moved in with him, Daven even gave the master bedroom to Lin En. After all, Daven doesn't sleep here either, he lives directly in the basement...
Lin En did not hesitate to move into the master bedroom. After all, he only planned to live here for half a month. After half a month, he was sure that he could become a citizen of the Mechanical City.
The master bedroom is very large, with simple and warm furnishings, and almost no unnecessary decorations.
Bephny was busy, making the bed skillfully, her movements smooth and careful.
After all, she had been with Lin En for two months and already knew some of his living habits, so she was more considerate and thoughtful in doing things.
Lin En quietly watched her busy figure. Bethenny had a slender figure and graceful movements, giving people a gentle feeling.
His eyes fell on her slender wrist, where she wore a brass bracelet that seemed to be an ancient object, emitting a faint luster.
He suddenly asked, "Bephny, after wearing this bracelet, does the dizziness disappear when you stay by my side?"
"In reply to Master, I have not felt any discomfort since I put on this bracelet. On the contrary, staying by Master's side makes me feel more energetic and much more awake than before."
Bephny answered respectfully, and gently stroked the bracelet on her wrist with her slender fingers.
"Well, that's good. Fortunately, I found a way to remove the radiation I caused to the outside world. Otherwise... it would be better to send you away."
Lin En nodded. He didn't want the radiation he passively emitted to kill the loyal female elf in front of him.
Bephny continued to make the bed, her movements gentle and soft. Her white and tender hands gently stroked the quilt with great care.
However, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly and a trace of fear flashed through her heart.
Bephny knew that her best fate was to find a master who was relatively kind to his servants and serve him. In her eyes, Lynn was a suitable candidate.
After all, with her appearance, even if she was sent away by Master Lin En, the final result would probably not be freedom. Instead, there was a high probability that she would be captured by others and made into a slave, becoming someone else's plaything.
So, when she heard Lin En say that she would let her go free, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Her nervousness was also revealed at this moment. Although she tried to remain calm, the shock in her eyes could not hide her inner panic.
Fortunately, Master Lin En did not actually make such a decision, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Lynn bought Bephny and several other maids just to preserve witnesses and material evidence.
Then, with the help of Daven and Martha, the case was reported, attracting the attention of the Mechanical City.
But now the mastermind behind the scenes has been found out and he cannot be touched for the time being. These maids are of no use and are simply burned to death by Lin En.
As for Bephny, she was still loyal to him, so he originally wanted to give her freedom to prevent her from being killed by his passivity.
After all, as an official wizard, Lin En has almost endless radiation in his body, and Bephny's strength is too weak, almost like a "mortal". Being exposed to such radiation will obviously cause serious health problems and even shorten her life.
But fortunately, Daven is also a mortal.
Therefore, in order to protect him from being killed by radiation in places where wizards gather, his teacher prepared various protective measures for him.
Even this kind of protective bracelet comes in many different styles.
Lynn got one from Daven that was just right for Bephny.
In this way, Bephantine can continue to stay by his side and serve him.
And he had no intention of leaving the Mechanical City in the short term. It was a good thing to have a servant who was familiar with his life and had been tested, which could save him from some trivial matters and troubles in life.
It is said that in the territory of the White Wizards, they would set up various wonderful devices to cleverly eliminate the strong radiation fluctuations emitted by the wizards.
These devices not only protect the secrecy of wizards, but also enable countless mortals to live peacefully in this magical world, as if the boundary between magic and ordinary people is gradually blurring.
The great wizards, although they control the entire wizarding world, expedition to endless dimensions and explore unknown mysteries.
But they were not completely isolated from mortals, and were not completely divided into two races: "human" and "wizard".
Although the existence of wizards is enough to shake the world, they still retain a trace of connection with the mortal world.
The life form of every official wizard has undergone earth-shaking changes. They are no longer ordinary "humans", but they are still unable to be completely separated from the human race.
The root of this contradiction can actually be traced back to ancient times.
Those supreme wizards who can touch the original power of the wizarding world.
In order to prevent the wizard's path from being bound by "the limitations of blood, emotion and human nature", the ancient supreme wizard once made profound changes to the origin of the world.
They changed the laws of this continent to ensure that the qualifications of wizards did not depend on blood inheritance, but on innate talent.
This means that people who are not born with wizarding qualifications will never be able to practice witchcraft, no matter how noble their bloodline is.
In this world, the probability of the offspring of a third-level great wizard having wizard qualifications is almost as low as that of a pauper's son.
The inheritance of blood and lineage, although vital in other supernatural races, has become meaningless in the wizarding world.
Powerful wizards can still raise large families, but this does not mean that their descendants will necessarily inherit wizarding qualifications.
In order to find a qualified successor, they need to go through countless attempts, continue to reproduce, screen out those offspring with wizarding qualifications, and guide them onto the path of witchcraft.
This system minimizes the class stratification in the wizarding world.
No matter how powerful a wizard is, the children he gives birth to are not 100% qualified to be wizards, so as to avoid the entire continent being ruled by those wizards who "become powerful first".
It ensures the development of the entire world, avoids the situation of "rule by the strong", and prevents those powerful wizard families from monopolizing the fate of the entire continent.
Although the wizards' path of practice often takes them away from family and offspring, their focus is always on knowledge, truth and immortality.
However, there are still some extremely powerful wizards who, despite controlling endless knowledge and power, still cannot get rid of their concern for future generations.
They long to pass on their bloodline and want to see their descendants take a place in the wizarding world.
These wizards are not satisfied with relying solely on natural blood inheritance. They look for various ways to try to give their descendants wizard qualifications.
Whether it's through secret methods, ancient rituals, mating with other extraordinary races, or even more extreme means, they will do whatever it takes to change their fate.
However, the fundamental laws of the wizarding world cannot be easily changed.
Unless someone can break through the constraints of the supreme wizards, no one can shake this iron rule.
Gradually, those wizards who had tried to change their bloodline inheritance realized that their efforts were doomed to failure.
In any case, their descendants will not be able to acquire wizard qualifications and will not be able to embark on the path of witchcraft.
As a result, some powerful wizards chose to settle for the second best path. They no longer forced their offspring to become wizards, but instead let them choose other extraordinary paths.
In this way, even if one cannot become a wizard, one can still develop a family heritage.
However, this seemingly feasible path was soon blocked.
The supreme wizards standing at the top of the wizarding world obviously will not allow anyone to disrupt the order of the wizarding world.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Their vision is not limited to a certain ethnic group or individual, but to the entire wizarding world.
A strong civilization must ensure a constant flow of liquidity to prevent class stratification.
Once a loophole appears that destroys the wizard's qualifications and the inheritance of the extraordinary path, it will inevitably lead to class solidification, and ultimately allow a certain family or force to control the entire world again.
Therefore, the Supreme Wizards once again modified the origin of the world, forcibly preventing the development of other extraordinary paths.
Since then, the rules of the wizarding world have become even stricter.
Only the existence of wizard qualifications can grant a long life and endless years.
Although other extraordinary paths can give powerful strength, they cannot stop the pace of death.
Immortality has become the only privilege in the wizarding world. Only by embarking on the wizard's path can one reach the eternal other side.
Under layer upon layer of patches, the path of wizard training has become the only choice for those true geniuses!
And with the joint development of countless creatures in the Wizard Continent and those invaded subordinate planes.
The status of wizards became higher and higher, and the wizard civilization became more and more brilliant, eventually occupying a place in the endless plane.
…………………………
In Lynn's bedroom, under the dim light, he sat quietly on the bed, holding a dark blue token in his hand.
This token is not big, only the size of a palm, but it feels extremely heavy in the hand, as if it contains some invisible power, weighing more than ten pounds.
It is made of extremely hard deep-sea stone iron, with a solid texture and a faint glow on the surface.
Energy factors gathered around the token like a tide.
Those energy factors are varied, some are jumping like flames, some are light like wind, and some are fierce like lightning. They circle around the token like a group of fireflies, flashing strange light.
Each strand of energy factor is constantly interweaving, as if producing some kind of mysterious resonance with the token.
On the token, complex patterns are intertwined and upon closer inspection, these patterns are actually composed of lines of wizard characters.
Lin En looked carefully and gradually found that the words formed a sentence in front of him -
"What you hold in your hands is the future of the wizarding world."
This sentence is majestic and full of endless power.
Lin En couldn't help but think of the "creator" of the Nightmare Rift, the extremely terrifying and powerful wizard.
According to his understanding, those "neutral" cities in the entire Nightmare Rift were actually vassals of the wizard, including the Mechanical Capital.
As far as Lin En knows, whether it is the Mechanical City or other neutral cities, as long as you become a citizen, you can get a similar citizen token.
"Did that line of words come from that terrifying wizard himself?"
Lynn murmured softly, his heart moving.
I remember when Daven delivered the token, he had a mysterious smile on his face, and he specifically said, "Brother Lin, this citizen token will definitely surprise you."
Thinking back to what Martha had mentioned a few days ago, that this token was the most important symbol of the welfare of the citizens of the entire Mechanical City, Lynn's expectations for it had reached the extreme, and he couldn't help but clench the token in his hand.
If a person is a true citizen, then the citizen token in their hand will be firmly tied to their identity and cannot be used by outsiders.
For example, the citizen token in Martha's hand can only be used by her.
Even if Lynn and Daven held it in their hands, they couldn't make use of it.
However, Daven is a special exception.
Although he is a citizen of the Mechanical City, he is not an official wizard.
Therefore, according to common sense, he does not meet the binding conditions of the citizen token, and theoretically, he cannot use this token.
However, Davin's situation was different.
His teacher, the Warhammer Master, was a high-ranking figure in the Mechanical City, and it was said that he played a crucial role in the early development of the Citizen Token.
Therefore, Davin's citizen token was specially made to exempt him from the binding restrictions, allowing him to use it directly without binding.
Lin En couldn't help but sigh:
"Every time Daven uses this citizen token, he has to use some special means to attach his spiritual power to it. It must be quite troublesome."
He shook his head and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Then, his mental power was released from the spiritual realm in an instant and quickly wrapped around the citizen token.
The light on the token flickered gently, and as Lin En injected his spiritual power, a subtle fluctuation came from the air, as if some kind of power began to change quietly.
Then, Lin En was stunned - at this moment, he felt a unique wave sweeping through his whole body, as if an indescribable power was surging in his body.
However, before Lin En could react, his vision became blurry, as if the world began to become distorted. The objects in the bedroom began to flicker in front of his eyes, as if everything was jumping, giving him a sense of confusion.
