Chapter 50 [What do you mean?](3/3)

In more cases, the empire's finances were limited - they had to be on guard against the orcs who were about to move in the north, and were always ready for possible wars.

With limited finance, it is impossible to undertake more school-run tasks.

Although the literacy rate has increased many times over the past century, it is still too far away from the dreamy standard of everyone's knowledge of literacy.

Even in a bustling big city, if only 20% of the ten families can send their children to school, it is already considered that the consul's political achievements are outstanding!

After hearing this, the Messiah was silent for a long time before sighing: "The people are not wise, and the people do not know what civil rights are, and they do not know what great righteousness is. So how can we talk about democracy? We cannot let a group of people who don’t even recognize a few words control the major affairs of the country... Your words are concise and to the point, which is what I thought too simply before."

The Messiah then wanted to ask something else, but Chen Daolin was reluctant to continue.

For nothing else, he knew that the ancestor of the Tulip family was a time traveler like himself!

You have to figure out what he has played with this world before you can make plans.

This Messiah wanted to talk from Chen Daolin, but why didn’t Chen Daolin want to learn about some things about the Roland Empire through her?

Chen Daolin asked about the customs and customs of the Roland Empire, and the Messiah also said something casually. Anyway, Chen Daolin would naturally see and hear these situations after he went south, so there was no need to hide them.

From the Messiah, Chen Daolin finally got a rough understanding of the long-famous Roland Empire:

This empire is named Roland, and it has been more than a thousand years since its founding.

At this moment, there are naturally imperial emperors in the country, and there are ministers and nobles who rely on them under the emperor. The Tulip family is naturally the pillars of the country, and the royal family has always been the heels of the kingdom.

In addition, there is a church called the Temple of Light in the Roland Empire. This church worships the goddess of light, which is the largest religion in the empire and has considerable power. However, this religion has gradually declined in recent years.

Because a hundred years ago, this church in the Temple of Light was still of great importance in the empire and could even compete with the royal family. The struggle between the divine power and the imperial power has existed since the founding of the empire.

But a hundred years ago, a legendary man appeared in the empire, which was the first Duke of Tulip. The duke was a genius who was born in the empire. After taking power, he commanded the army to fight against the invading army of alien races, suppressed the alien race headed by the elves, let the dwarves go away, and let the orcs surrender.

Internally, it led a series of power changes, first of all, it tried its best to suppress the Temple of Light, and gradually deprived the church of many privileges. In particular, the fact that the church did not allow its own army was to dig out the foundation for the church to fight against imperial power from the root.

The first Duke of Tulip was breathless with his supreme prestige to lead the victory of human wars. After being dismissed, he was deprived of many rights, such as the right to tax and judgment that the church had before.

The descendants of the first Duke of Tulip also followed the strategies of their ancestors and kept suppressing the church.

Now, the Church of the Temple of Light, which once dominated the empire for thousands of years and could compete with the imperial power, has almost completely transformed into a religious organization. The famous Holy Knights in the church have only retained a very small organization with symbolic significance, and all the church armed forces stationed in dioceses in various places have been abolished. The church has no power to collect taxes in the diocese.

In terms of force and financial resources, the foundation of the church was completely cut off.

Today's Temple of Light can only honestly preach doctrines and can no longer compete with the royal family. It can only be timid and obedient to the royal family.

You should know that when the church was in its glory a hundred years ago, even when the imperial emperors changed and the new emperor ascended the throne, it must be recognized by His Majesty the Church's Pope to be considered legal!

Looking back at the scenery of the past, the current church of the Temple of Light is so declining.

However, in addition to the church, the Roland Empire had other important organizations.

The first thing to do is the Magician Union.

Speaking of the magician, Chen Daolin was shocked!

He had already given up his way of practicing martial arts in his heart, but since he was in this world, he had to find a way to learn how to settle down. If he couldn't practice martial arts, he naturally thought... If he could become a magician, he would be very majestic.

"The Magician Union is a guild that specializes in managing the magician group." Messiah smiled and said, "The assessment of magician level and many rights and interests need to be maintained by the Magician Union. In the war a hundred years ago, my ancestor Du Wei was a great magician, leading many magicians to make great contributions in the war. So to this day, magicians are very respected in the empire. Moreover, magicians have always enjoyed many privileges in the empire. Mr. Chairman of the Magician Union has a high prestige on the mainland, and even the Pope of the church is quite inferior."

"Then, if you want to become a magician, what's the solution?" Chen Daolin asked.

Messiah smiled, and she glanced at Chen Daolin and said, "The tradition of magicians is taught by the master and disciple. But a hundred years ago, my ancestor broke this tradition and created the Imperial Magic Academy. The purpose of this academy is to break the traditional magic monopoly, so that more people can become magicians, and then serve the country. However, this magician academy is not allowed to enter. The quota for admission to the Imperial Magic Academy every year is extremely precious, and the wealthy nobles in the imperial capital naturally have to hold a group of people in. The military has always mastered some quotas. As the official organization of mainland magicians, the Magician Union naturally has to retain some quotas, and the royal family will also leave several special quotas... Of course, my ancestor also left rules in the past. The Magician Academy must recruit some civilian students, and this rule has been strictly enforced and has not changed."

Chen Daolin's eyes lit up.

But then the Messiah's words disappointed him.

"But enrollers must check their household registration, and in principle they only accept the people of the empire. However, if they are aliens in the grassland or descendants of the South China Sea, they can also apply, but they must have settled in my Roland Empire for three generations before they are qualified to be selected." Messiah smiled and said, "In addition, it must be found that the students have not committed serious crimes in the previous three generations. If there are serious crimes such as murder, treason, etc., then admission is never allowed."

Chen Daolin was speechless.

This first one does not meet the requirements. I am a completely black man in this Roland Empire.

"If Mr. Darling wants to go to the Magic Academy, it's probably not possible." Messiah smiled and said, "But if you are interested in magic, the way to become a magician is not just the path to the Magic Academy."

"oh?"

"The tradition of magicians has always been to choose disciples and then give them privately." The Messiah smiled faintly: "Although there is a magic academy, this tradition is still deeply rooted. Many traditional magicians are unwilling to impart their magic knowledge to outsiders, but like to choose their favorite disciples to teach them separately. If you can be taken by a magician as a disciple, you will also have the opportunity to become a magician - of course, the premise is that you have magical talent."

"What is talent?" Chen Daolin asked hurriedly.

"Talent is naturally talent." Messiah shook her head: "The talent of a magician lies in whether the sensing of magic power is keen. There are many magic elements in this world, between heaven and earth, in air, and in nature... The magician uses his own magic power to mobilize various magic elements between heaven and earth. The so-called talent tests whether a person's sensing of magic elements in nature is strong and sensitive enough."

Chen Daolin thought for a while: "How can you see this talent?"

Actually, he really wanted to ask: See if I have talent.

But after all, he and this Messiah have always been a little inconsistent with each other, and he has no nerve to say such words.

How smart the Messiah was, naturally saw what Chen Daolin meant. She smiled softly, looked at the sky and said, "It's not too late! I've been bothering you for so long, I'm afraid it's delayed your rest! Thank you Mr. Daling for helping me with a lot of questions tonight. If you have time tomorrow, come and ask for advice."

She stood up and said goodbye, just took two steps, but suddenly stopped. She turned around and turned her head. A small crystal ball appeared in the palm of her hand. The crystal ball was about the size of an apple. She held it in her palm and handed it to Chen Daolin, and smiled and said, "This thing is a crystal ball that tests sensitivity. The thing I played when I was a child is not worth much. You seem to be interested in magic, so I will give it to you."

After a pause, she continued: "This thing is convenient to use. You only need to press your palm on it and sit calmly for a while. If you have any illusions in front of you, such as seeing flames, hearing the whistling of the wind, or seeing the gurgling stream... These are all proofs of talent! They represent the magic of each system."

The flame is wind-type... The sound of the wind is wind-type, stream water, etc., probably water-type?

Chen Daolin thought to himself.

"Every magician's talent has different emphasis. Generally speaking, the talent of a magician is only specialized in one category." Messiah smiled and said, "When testing, the more wonderful the illusion you see, the stronger the talent is. If Mr. Darling tests that he has talent, I will recognize several magicians with outstanding prestige in the empire, and can recommend it to you."

Recommended? I don’t believe you have such kindness.

Chen Daolin was alert in his heart.

The Messiah stopped talking and immediately went back to her campsite.

Chen Daolin sat there silently, holding the crystal ball in his hand.

Then, he took a deep breath, held the crystal ball in his palm, focused his energy, and silently closed his eyes.

Only the cold touch of the crystal ball was felt in the palm of my palm. This cool and cold touch seemed to have a kind of meditation effect.

Chen Daolin's breathing gradually calmed down, and then his spirit became more and more relaxed.

If he opened his eyes at this moment, he would see the crystal ball in his palm suddenly spinning slowly.

Chen Daolin's consciousness began to become a little blurred, and then...

Bang!

The crystal ball suddenly landed on the ground, and Chen Daolin suddenly jumped up.

He widened his eyes and looked around. His expression on his face was both surprised and shocked, his breathing was rapid and short, and his chest was undulating.

After a while, Chen Daolin gradually calmed down, but his eyes were full of shock!!

I... saw something just now!!

...

The next day, Chen Daolin was speechless all the way and seemed extremely silent. Barossa saw that Chen Daolin was restless and almost fell off the deer's back several times. Fortunately, with Barossa's timely help, Chen Daolin did not break his neck.

At night, Chen Daolin scratched his ears and faces, and looked at the Tulip House camp in the distance from time to time.

Finally, after dinner, when the Messiah in black came over again, Chen Daolin suddenly changed his expression, and his expressions of anxiety, absent-mindedness and other expressions were all put away. Instead, he looked cold.

"His Excellency Darling, did you gain something last night?" The Messiah walked up to him and looked at Chen Daolin with a smile.

Chen Daolin pretended to be cold and cold: "What you get? That talented test crystal ball is not broken, right?"

"Of course not." Messiah smiled, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "If you have no response after the test... I'm afraid it's not that the crystal ball is broken, but that you really have no chance with magic."

Chen Daolin pulled the corner of his mouth, smiled a little stiffly, raised his eyelids and looked at the Messiah: "Tell me again, what visions are the symbols of talent when you see?"

"Well, someone has seen flames, which is his talent for being good at fire. Some people also hear the howling wind in the sky, which is a special sense of wind. Some people have seen rocks or hills, which is a sense of earth magic. As for water magic, I once had a friend who is now a level 6 mage, specializing in water systems. When I was testing in the past, I saw the gurgling streams endlessly."

"I see."

Chen Daolin suddenly felt an impulse in his heart and coughed.

His expression also became serious: "Then, the illusion I saw was a bit strange."

"oh?"

Chen Daolin nodded

"I saw the vast sea, with a towering mountain on the sea surface, and the peaks penetrated into the sky! The flames on the top of the mountain are always on the ground, the magma of the volcano swells into the sky, and the sky is red with the fire... The wind is howling around, the hurricanes are swept up and the waves are surging, and the tsunami is 100,000 miles..."

Chen Daolin finished speaking in one breath and looked at the Messiah's eyes: "What does this mean?"
