Chapter 249: The Kingdom Doesn''t Need Nobles, Let Alone a King!
The world was undoubtedly cruel, and the ways to gain power were very limited. Even if the methods wereplex, they all revolved around magic and divine arts, or could be directly ssified as magic without any issue.
For those without magical talent, acquiring power became an extremely difficult task.
Generally, individuals would diligently hone their skills, undergo church assessments to have the chance to drink the elixir of divine grace and be a cleric. Alternatively, they could rely on the lineage of their family, bing a bloodline knight to gain strength beyond normal people.
Lynn even spected that these families supposedly inheriting powerful magic were likely descendants of incredibly powerful shaping wizards.
The church did not exterminate them, or perhaps E thought that these people posed no real threat.
Due to the limited ways to gain power, even individuals with vast wealth and noble status like William needed to resort to means such as the idol of the evil god.
ording to the information gathered by Laude and others, worshiping evil gods was not umon among some nobles, even prevalent in the Sekas Empire.
It was indeed a shortcut to rapidly be stronger, but unfortunately, it was also a trap...
Lynn turned the blood idol in his hand, pondering how divine arts worked. It intrigued him how someone could exhibit various supernatural powers without understanding the principles of spellcasting.Clearly, it was not exclusive to the church. When dealing with the cultists, he noticed something was amiss. Shadow magic was challenging to master, and most of it was documented. Yet, during the raid on the cultist headquarters, arge number of wizards capable of using shadow magic emerged.
They likely gained it through a method simr to divine arts!
Lynn contemted for a while. In fact, his actions of connecting to wizards through the magicwork and utilizingputational power, along with the faith-to-godhood technique, were somewhat simr. Both involved using external forces to enhance one''s power limit.
The difference was that his method was more gentle, and with the aid of the smart brain, perhaps that was why Lynn did not perceive the mental contamination mentioned by Harof and others.
Since transferring knowledge directly through the smart brain was possible, he wondered if fully deciphering the opponent''s mental frequency could grant magic to someone else, simr to divine arts.
Perhaps it was worth a try.
Lost in thought, a faint light appeared on the index finger of his right hand. Lynn immediately realized that Anthony had once again entered the realm of magic.
Inside the magic-mimicking microcosm, Anthony stepped into the void, gazing at the constantly rotating starry scenery beneath his feet.
Unlike before, after studying mathematical knowledge in the system, he could deduce the rtive positions and movement patterns of each star.
These days of interaction made Anthony understand that Lynn''s breadth of knowledge far exceeded his expectations, covering everything from the formation of thunder and lightning to thews governing the universe and stars.
However, in Lynn''s words, this knowledge was just the surfaceyer, representing the world''s superficial rules. The real causey in a more profound field, possibly only perceivable in the legendary realm!
"Seems like you have something on your mind, Anthony?" Lynn''s figure appeared in the magic realm, questioning with confusion. It wasn''t teaching time.
"Yes," Anthony nodded. Then he spoke again, "In recent times, King Bazeel''s health has been declining, and the dispute between the two princes is escting. Prince Hatar is preparing to either win over or eliminate some of the other''s supporters."
"I heard that William was sent by you to Harrod. Is that true?" Anthony cautiously inquired.
"You could say that," Lynn responded casually.
"In that case, things be much easier." Anthony sighed in relief and began exining his magical kingdom n to Lynn.
In short, the n involved secretly supporting Prince Hatar, instigating conflict between the royal family and a faction of nobles loyal to the church. This would give wizards a sanctuary in the kingdom, creating a magical world controlled from the shadows.
However, after learning about the Wizards'' Domain and the Secret Magic Society, Anthony''s ambitions grew. Perhaps they could go further and cooperate with the royal family and some nobles,pletely eradicating the influence of the local church, creating a kingdom truly belonging to wizards!
But this would lead to retaliation from the church and the Sekas Empire. It wasn''t something a single school of wizards could withstand, so Anthony needed to ensure the stance of the Wizards'' Domain and the Secret Magic Society.
"In your magical kingdom, after it''s established, who will truly control the kingdom—wizards or nobles?" Lynn asked abruptly after listening to Anthony''s narration.
"Of course, it should be..." Anthony wanted to say wizards, but he was acutely aware of the deep-rooted influence of the nobility in the kingdom, not easily shaken.
"It can be managed jointly by wizards and the royal family, with the nobility supervised by both. Then, let the nobility oversee themon people!" Anthony pondered, suggesting the most reasonable approach.
"This will lead to problems sooner orter. If the majority of the kingdom''s poption works in factories, obeying wizardmands, where does the power and authority of the nobility lie?" Lynn asserted confidently.
So, conflicts were inevitable...
"Do you n to maintain the status quo?" Anthony furrowed his brow.
In fact, he had never considered gaining control over various territories. As long as the Hadrata Kingdom allowed the existence of wizards, allowing them to openly study magic without hiding, it was already a great victory in his eyes!
In this way, there would be no conflicts between nobles and wizards.
"No," Lynn shook his head. "Your magical kingdom n is good, but the scope is too narrow!"
Anthony paused, not quite understanding what Lynn meant.
"In my view, the Hadrata Kingdom doesn''t need nobles, let alone a king!" Lynn solemnly dered.
Reform abhors ipleteness, leaving behindrge groups of old power interest groups that be internal parasites, especially considering the sharp and unavoidable contradictions between them and the nobility.
To put it simply, if most of the kingdom''s subjects work in factories, obeying his orders, where does the power and dignity of the nobility lie?
Therefore, a conflict outbreak was just a matter of time...
