Chapter 29 Nostradamus' Wishes

[There is a war in this world.

It has nothing to do with swords and guns, nor with blood and fire. It is a war about civilization and progress, class and resistance. It is silent and no one knows it. One party participating in the war holds the torn shackles, while the other party is society itself.

Even so, this battlefield is also extremely difficult and countless people sacrificed their lives.]

How much legacy has the Age of Light left for the Age of Starfall and how much mess has it been?

Every time Nostradamus counts the information in ancient books, he can't help but think about this thing that never has an answer.

How can we count it all? Everything in the Star Descent Era developed on the bones of the Light Era. They inherited the magic of ancient sages, inherited the fighting spirit of ancient fighters, and passed on the path of holy light from gods. Even culture and customs came from those former races.

The nine categories of magic, the thirteen universal practice methods of Dou Qi, holy light meditation, large-scale war puppet design drawings, floating city core, magic net... There are also many ancient techniques from underground ruins, and even the continent at the soles of the feet, the sacrificial grounds that rotate outside the world are relics of the Guangqi Era.

From these perspectives alone, the legacy of the Guangyao Era is so rich that the ancestors of Xingdian, whose initial population is only a few hundred million, have developed to this point within a thousand years. Nostradamus did not hesitate to believe that if it were not for the black forests that remained in chaos, the major human gathering areas would have been able to unify the technological exchanges of forces a hundred years ago and then develop the magic industry that appeared in it.

But in contrast, the Guangyao Era also left countless messes with black forests, a bad world environment around the abyss, a space-time channel connecting many chaotic places, a dead world, countless evil peeps, and hostility to the world will.

This is how the people of the Starfall Age are. In an extremely difficult environment, they have taken advantage of the legacy of the previous era to get to this point step by step. This speed is considered fast even in the multiverse.

But this is far from enough... Faced with the disaster that is destined to come, the evil god who arrived decades later is still too slow to make such progress.

Nostradamus couldn't help but think of the sacrificial ground of the world, the star world, the void mother beast that could destroy a civilization, and the evil god of plague behind it.

This is a desperate force... It's okay that the Void Mother Beast can kill one by one by joining forces with Joshua. Now both of them have made great progress. Even if one person deals with one, it should not be difficult. But who knows how many such mother beasts are? The reputation of the evil god of the plague is still spreading in the multiverse. The number of clan clusters under its command is likely to exceed the sum of humans in the entire Mycrov world. If this evil god attacks the Mycrov world with all his strength, how should they deal with it?

You know, this time, they have no sages.

Thinking of this, Nostradamus turned to look at the warrior beside him.

At this time, the old mage and Joshua had already walked out of the underground world and came to the surface. It was still late at night, with silver moonlight mixed with aurora, and the night sky was very gorgeous.

Nostradamus knew that the so-called aurora was not a natural phenomenon, it was one of the visions caused by the existence of the legendary warrior beside him. Even if it was suppressed, some of the powerful magnetic field would affect the surrounding world. It interfered with the magnetic field at high altitudes, causing the aurora to appear at any time and in any weather.

Since leaving the quaint earth temple, Joshua has been silent. This earth divine incident was not as serious as Nostradamus and others thought. For example, the world will be able to escape from difficulties, but even so, they still learned a very bad news.

The steel python Mycrov almost sent a signal to the world for help at the cost of his existence. As long as it can get out of trouble, it will be willing to give the power of the world.

Because he did not specialize in summoning and subjugation, Nostradamus did not know how great the so-called world power was and what kind of existence it could attract. But looking at Joshua's serious expression of expectation, the old mage understood that it was definitely a tricky enough enemy. I think it was an existence that would be interested in the world power. Even if it was not a legend, it would definitely be an extraordinary existence that was similar to the giant beast of the void and no different from the legend.

"It is worth noting that the world of Mycrov is already located around the abyss, and there are very few worlds with strong strength nearby."

At this time, Joshua suddenly spoke. He was like talking to himself, saying his inference: "Most of the worlds around him are like the original Mycrov world, with flames gradually fading, and only a few are normal worlds. Such places can not produce strong people, and only those abyss lords and the void beasts that are cruising nearby are worthy of guard against."

"That's nervous enough."

Because Joshua once said, Nostradamus also knew that the Seven Gods and other races of gods at this time could not take action now in order to seal the will of the world, and some people might even need to ensure the safety of the seal. The old mage shook his head gently and said, "As long as there is an existence passing through the blockade, it may allow the will of the world to break through the seal. You and I know the power of the legend. As long as you and I try your best to destroy the seal underground, it only takes a few minutes."

In fact, this rift is a clear proof that Joshua made all his strength and tore a rift that was thousands of meters deep in just a dozen seconds. If he concentrated his strength and simply wanted to destroy the seal, the speed and depth would be faster.

"It would be great if there was an outpost."

Thinking of this, Nostradamus gently stroked the spine of his magic book, his tone was a little depressed: "Although the Stargazing Institute can observe the world around it, its observation target is too large and it cannot see a legendary strong man like you and me... If there is an outpost located in the void that can clearly capture powerful energy fluctuations, then it will be much easier to prepare for defense."

"This is exactly the significance of the establishment of the Foreign Exploration Department. In my vision, the first task of the Foreign Exploration Department is not to find the world of life, but to establish a large number of early warning outposts around the world of Mycrov."

Joshua pointed casually, and the silver light formed a light curtain in the air. He said calmly: "If you want to explore the distance, at least the backyard cannot catch a fire. After the Steel Python incident is resolved, it will be the time for the external exploration department to officially launch it."

Speaking of this, the soldier turned around and nodded slightly to Nostradamus. He said with emotion: "I basically have nothing to do with Winter Castle Academy, you are all coordinating... It is very successful. Without the large number of technical personnel trained by Winter Castle Academy, the foundation of the External Exploration Department would not have been built so quickly."

"That's natural. Not to mention anything else, just when it comes to cultivating students, no one else in the whole world except Barbarossa can compare with me."

It is rare to hear Joshua praising him so directly. Nostradam was also at all modest. He stroked his beard with satisfaction, but then sighed: "It's a pity that there is only one Winter Castle at present."

At this time, the two had slowly walked to the edge of the Northern Ural Plain. They could see countless grassland beasts, monsters, in front of them, being guided by students from Winter Castle Academy to a special experimental zone opened on another grassland. These students were not strong enough to carry out difficult tasks like the First Team or the Dragon Man Girl Lisa. Therefore, the large-scale activities arranged by the academy are among the few ways they can easily get points.

The two legendary powerful men observed these students from afar, who were still young but were very skilled in using magic fighting spirit, but they did not get close. Standing in the distance, Joshua was silent for a while before speaking: "Why is there only one Winter Castle?"

The warrior's tone was very puzzled. He looked at these young people who could be said to be the hope of the future, with confusion in his tone: "I wanted to ask some time ago that the Winter Castle mode is so successful, you should open more similar professional academys in other parts of the empire... Even if there are no legendary powerhouses in those places, their development will be slower, but it is better than none."

This is indeed a strange place that Joshua finds strange. Although Winter Castle Academy has swallowed Moldavia a lot of liquidity in the past five or six years, it has also brought a lot of benefits to Moldavia. As the lord, Joshua does not regard money as money at all. The confidence to expand the city without knowing how much money he has is that Winter Castle is because Even if the professional academy in other places cannot develop as perfectly as Moldavia, no one should try it.

Regarding this question, Nostradamus nodded first, then shook his head.

"It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."

"Joshya, this empire is not an empire for the people, but an empire for the emperor, nobles and extraordinary people."

Nostradamus pointed out the most essential problem directly: "Except for you, a legendary strong man who has no interest in power, does not care about anything, and does not have any threats, any professional academy established in the local area simply provides local nobles with the power to be local overlords, and cannot spread this power to all classes."

"No, I'm not, I..."

Hearing this, Joshua frowned, and he tsked to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he could only admit that what Nostradamus said was indeed correct.

He also understood that this was also the reason why Isrell wanted to carry out reforms, just as if he wanted to industrialize in his previous life, he had to liberate the land and farmers from the hands of landlords. If he wanted to achieve the popularization of extraordinary power in the extraordinary world, he had to liberate ordinary people with extraordinary talents from the hands of nobles and extraordinary people.

"But we have three legendary powerhouses, Isrel is the emperor of the empire. I had wanted to ask before that if we wanted to reform, we could kill all the nobles who were unwilling to cooperate at any time and clean up the entire empire from beginning to end, without even three days."

"Revolution is not about treating guests to dinner. If necessary, it is helpless to kill people. We don't have much time left for us, and we don't have time to slowly change our minds."

When he said this, Joshua spoke indifferently, as if he had not taken human life seriously at all. He was indeed willing to protect the world and resist chaos, but this did not mean that he was a Virgin. What he was willing to protect were those weak people who were powerless to resist unstoppable disasters, not those who had the power but influenced the progress of the world.

Of course, he would not really kill all those innocent people, but he was detained and used physical means to transform his mind. Joshua thought he could do it.

"What's the use of that?"

Regarding Joshua's simple and crude method, Nostradamus just shook his head speechlessly: "You can overturn the mountains that are pressing on the people, liberate them from the hands of the nobles, and give them the power to change their destiny... But so what, you can't overturn the mountains in people's hearts."

"Jothia, look at these students."

Following the old mage's words, Joshua looked at the Winter Castle students who were doing various tasks under the instructions of their mentors.

These young people obey commands and work meticulously. Both nobles and civilians treat each other equally. No one thinks they are worse than the other, nor do they think they are superior. This is the principle that has been followed in Winter Fort Academy for many years: identity is meaningless, ability is the first.

"You can ask these students who seem to be no less than aristocratic and civilians, and ask them what their future ideals are."

Nostradamus's tone was calm, but Joshua could hear a hint of chill and anger. For this question, the warrior did not really pick someone to ask, because he had known the answer long ago.

"They want to be big shots."

Shaking his head, Joshua said: "Learning magic is like a nobleman. If you become a knight, you can expand your territory for the empire, become a priest, and then lead a church, then manage the diocese, and finally become a bishop, an archbishop, and that is also a great figure on par with the earl and even the duke."

After hearing this answer, Nostradamus closed his eyes: "Yes, you are right, it's that simple."

"Their current equality is because they feel that the other party will be big men in the future. When they return to their hometowns, they are all 'ruling class' that governs civilians, solidifies the class, and gives civilians almost no room for growth... Therefore, the nobles laugh and the common people, and the son of the earl will be hooked with the son of the hunter."

For the first time, Joshua heard Nostradamus's voice suppressing his emotions. He felt that the other party was like a volcano about to erupt, but soon the old mage calmed down again. He watched all this coldly, and then sneered: "That's it. Everyone knows that the legendary strong men have the power to change the world. You and I join forces. Even if you smooth the entire Great Eas Mountains off the map, it is not difficult to kill some nobles and overturn the palms... But if they don't open their wisdom, they won't let the people awaken and overturn the mountains in their hearts, even if they have extraordinary power, they will only become new oppressors."

"Is it enlightening people?"

In this regard, Joshua couldn't help but think of the world he was in. He recalled the wars in thought and beliefs that had been written in history books. He suddenly realized that the Mecrov World, a society that was quite primitive in his eyes, had also reached this stage, and the first step of this stage seemed to happen before his eyes.

"Popular knowledge, national literacy, compulsory education, collective political education that junior high schools began..." All the teaching methods that had just been developed in their previous life flashed in their minds, and Joshua couldn't help but feel silent. He didn't know how the revolution happened and how it was successful, but he knew that it was imperative to open up people's wisdom, but he didn't know whether it was appropriate to transform the world on such a large scale.

In the final analysis, there was no extraordinary power in the previous life. If everything was copied, would there be any accident? This world is a world of magic and fighting spirit, and the relationship between farmers and landlords in the previous life is completely different...

Because I know more, I will hesitate at this time.

“Are we qualified to choose the direction of our future society for humanity?”

Joshua asked.

"You are wrong, Joshua, we have never chosen their future path for humanity."

Speaking of this, Nostradamus's lips raised, he raised his head and looked at the bright starry sky and aurora: "I always remember what you said to me not long ago... You are right, we just led them forward and to this point."

“Then, humans chose this path.”

“…hahahaha, I actually responded to me in my words.”

After hearing this, Joshua narrowed his eyes first. He seemed to be trapped in memories, but soon, he laughed happily: "I am still worried about you, but now it seems that you and Isrell have already thought of a solution to it, right?"

"yes."

He replied briefly, and Nostradamus also laughed, and after a brief laugh, the old mage's words sounded again, making Joshua slightly stunned: "Just a few days later."

"I had planned to tell you this news, but because you went to Yuannan to attend a friend's wedding, I didn't bother you."

Nostradamus looked at Joshua and said sincerely: "Earl Radcliff, please be sure to be present at that time."

"Let us watch the coming of a new era."
