Chapter 820

Although Joshua has no soul, his plug-in thinking organ is heavier than a mountain. When he began to think, there were basically no details to hide from him.

"Crown, you are now in the far south kingdom?"

Joshua, who saw the court style behind him, nodded and said, "I'll see you in a minute."

With that, he hung up the communication device and dispersed into countless stars.

At the same time, the Royal Court of the far south kingdom in the mainland of mirov.

A man with black hair appeared in the side court of the palace.

As one of the old forces in the mainland, Yuannan kingdom is much weaker than its heyday, but it still has a powerful mage group, which arranges all kinds of defensive magic for the court. Among them, anchoring space transmission, forbidding the opening of the portal and other functions are only the foundation of the foundation. Theoretically speaking, without permission, Yuannan Kingdom has the following functions, Even a cockroach can't get into the royal court.

However, for Joshua, this level of magic is just a nonexistence - the effect of any magic has its upper limit. The virtual spirit claims to be immune to all physical attacks, and the flame avatar can completely ignore the high-temperature flame. However, when the attacker's fist can induce nuclear fusion, and the temperature of the high-temperature flame reaches hundreds of millions of degrees to destroy everything, Even the soul will be shattered, and the flame will no longer be a flame.

Similarly, when a grid is equivalent to the existence of a celestial body and wants to transmit itself, a mere mortal spell can't have any effect.

Just as Joshua showed his incarnation behind the old Pope, Iger had turned his head and asked strangely, "Why are you so worried? Radcliffe, I don't think you're a political guy. "

For Iger, the soldier's behavior is a bit strange indeed.

Although he did complain that the situation in the mainland is not right now, and Joshua did blow the whistle a few days ago, saying that the whole mainland has been unified, at least to the point of peace and harmony - even if he was slapped by the facts, he shouldn't rush to come here in such a hurry?

Even if it comes here, what can it do? These are the internal affairs of other countries. Strictly speaking, they should have happened. Many contradictions existed hundreds of years ago, but they were ignited on the same day.

"... you think I just came here because I couldn't keep face?"

After criticizing this kind of subjective personal discrimination, Joshua told the old Pope the strange phenomenon of infighting and extinction he had observed in the abyss.

Frost demons pollute their breeding pools with venom, acid demons destroy their nests, fire demons extinguish volcanoes, fire lizard demons bury lava lakes, Horned Demons seal their mother nests in the mountains in the ruins of rocks, and the blood of abyssal dragon demons and all kinds of marine demons in the deep sea completely dye the turbid abyssal world into dark blue.

There are twelve demon worlds, twelve civil wars and twelve kinds of destruction traces. Wherever Joshua went, no demon was spared. This is the first time that he did nothing and achieved the achievement of "everything he went is ruins".

On one side, listening carefully to Joshua's story, the old Pope nodded slightly as he listened.

Although the two life forms can completely transmit information in the form of light waves, and one eye contact can explain most of the things clearly, because of the habit, and because "the words spoken are more powerful", Joshua chose the original acoustic communication system.

After hearing Joshua's conjecture, Iger, who was just a little upset about how to sort out the situation, couldn't help getting serious.

"If everything is as you say it will be much more serious this time."

When he said that, the old Pope raised his head and looked at the palace where the royal family lived. He rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice, "in fact, I was very surprised why conflicts broke out. Your guess is very convincing. Is it a sign of evil god..."

Because the holy mountain of the distant sea itself is in the far south, In the palace area, there is such a temple shaped palace for the church. Recently, the conflict between the nobles in the far south and the royal family broke out. In order to reconcile the conflict between the two, Iger's Avatar has always stayed here, but no one dares to disturb it.

Thinking, the old Pope raised his head and looked at Joshua. He said in a low voice, "in that case, Radcliffe, can you guess what kind of evil god is capable of provoking internal strife?"

"There's no way to guess."

In response, Joshua shook his head: "but it can be speculated."The powers of evil gods are various, and most of their names are their own.

[imbalance] the evil god breaks the inherent balance of all things, and causes energy imbalance and uneven heat and cold. Its calling is that the sun is big and small, sometimes cold and hot, some low-level and extraordinary people lose control of their power, and all kinds of extreme weather disasters appear.

Needless to say, the evil gods of natural disasters and pestilence are simple and easy to understand. When Hei was in irgana, he experienced a complete appearance of evil gods. Although Joshua and others joined in midway, they also experienced most of them.

For example, the "weak" evil god has a subtle influence. Its symptoms are that people become lazy and vulnerable, civilization loses self-improvement, and even anti intellectualism.

Nowadays, the phenomenon of "suspected signs of evil spirits" appearing in the surrounding time and space domain is not easy to describe.

"Evil spirits [internal fighting]? Evil God [dispute]

Joshua said to himself: "it's a bit like that, but I feel that we can't completely explain the essence of this evil god... After all, we haven't seen the essence of this evil god, and naturally we can't know the real power of this evil god."

But then again.

The year of 840... Isn't this the year when people from all over the world joined forces in the game of the past life, and after the Dragon disaster, the whole world blossomed everywhere, beating each other's brains into dog's brains?

The civil strife at that time was much more terrifying than today's skirmishes. In the world line without Joshua, the Dragon disaster was still left behind, and the various ethnic groups didn't like each other. The human forces in the eastern plain and the fishman tribe had fought several small-scale battles, and the far south royal family had lost their real rights for a long time, It means that the royal family itself has the right to peep, and at that time, the royal family did not even have the value of overthrowing.

As for the Empire, it was a mess. The despondent Israel had basically arranged himself and was waiting to die on a good day. Now it seems that the courteous princes and daughters had already divided into God knows how many forces and alliances there were at that time. I'm afraid there were more than four completely different manuscripts about the secret attack and defense agreements among three people, Its complexity is comparable to the University Women's dormitory of Joshua's previous life.

Abyssal demons, I remember that they began to infiltrate at that time - I have to say, compared with the original world line, the era that Joshua lived in now is really a household.

At least now, except for the Roman emperor in Xishan, all the protests are just protests, and there is no real fight.

Both the Pope and Joshua acquiesced in pushing this strange situation onto evil gods who did not know whether they existed or not.

No matter whether it is an evil god or not, whether there is such an existence or not, to create such a strange phenomenon of civil strife in the plural space-time domain, both of them will publicize it to the outside world in this way, transferring all contradictions to the evil god temporarily.

Today's McCullough world is in a period of rapid recovery and development. Any civil strife and stagnation is a waste of this hard won opportunity. It can even be said that it is a world event related to whether the McCullough civilization has the power of World War I when the evil god arrives decades later.

Even if it turns out in the end that all this is just a coincidence, now the chaos in the mirov civilization is really just an outbreak of ordinary contradictions. Then Joshua and Igel, like each other, want to create an "evil god" to create a reason for this contradiction that everyone can believe.

"In recent days, my incarnation has been in the far south, trying to adjust the contradiction between the aristocracy and the royal family."

After reaching a consensus with Joshua, Iger sat down in his chair and took a sip of cold tea: "there are very convincing reasons for the institutional reforms that the nobles and citizens call, and for those who want to become independent dominions."

Yuannan Kingdom, originally a very loose traditional feudal lord country, is not so much a modern kingdom as a loose alliance of many great nobles.

Of course, this is also because in a small far south, there are two big forces in ancient times, the seven gods holy mountain and the fairy King court. Although the far south Kingdom has an advantage in both number and territory, in essence, its strength is far weaker than the former two. Due to this influence, nationalism and nationalism have not yet risen, It is easy to understand that the cohesion of the far south kingdom is not strong.

During the period of dragon disaster, although the kingdom of far south made preparations ahead of time because of Joshua's suggestion, because of the lack of hard power, the whole territory of the country was occupied by half, a large number of aristocrats died out, and countless civilians were displaced. Although the royal family led the army to organize the defense line reluctantly and kept the remaining half of the territory, the contradiction also lurked.

Half of the territory that had been occupied by the enemy was destroyed by all the nobles who had ruled the land. The royal family used it as a bait to attract talents from outside. It was also to throw out this burden and award it to the thirteen heroes who had performed outstanding performance in fighting against the Dragon disaster. This is the origin of the thirteen self-governing dominions. However, this move undoubtedly angered the remaining nobles, They believed that the royal family deliberately sold the half of the territory and the aristocracy as a buffer zone to the wuselong people. In addition, because of the warning from the soldiers, the loss of the Yuannan royal family was the smallest among the aristocrats. This also set off a wave of conspiracy theory, turning into a cry for the royal family to abdicate.As the thirteen self-governing lords in the enemy occupied areas, almost all the residents hated the Yuannan royal family who gave them up easily. Those who became new nobles, on the one hand, wanted to comply with the wishes of the Lords, on the other hand, they really felt that independence was better for them, so they joined the camp of denouncing the royal family.

If we analyze it carefully, we can find that the so-called "sudden conflict and internal strife" is inherently untenable. A few years ago, countless pains began to precipitate. Now most of the people who urge those nobles and lords to cry out are not the wishes of these high-level officials themselves, but the loss of their relatives due to the Dragon disaster, The pain and tears of civilians who lost their hometown and everything.

Until now, there are still far south residents living in poor temporary villages and towns, farming with rough farming tools. They are numbly living in the mud, unable to see the light of the future. Even the nobles can not bear the burden, and the territory is close to collapse.

But even so, the royal family did not care about them. They even lived as ostriches in their own "peaceful dreamland" and enjoyed flowers and wine.

——This is not a civil strife between nobles, nor is it a dispute provoked by conspirators for their own interests, but simply because living is too painful, people can't bear the revolt and roar that broke out at the last moment.

The protest in the eastern plain, under the careful analysis of Joshua and Iger, also exposed the real contradiction between the two sides.

Guantianbai tower, as the most powerful mage organization in the whole of mirov, is naturally the overlord of the eastern plain, occupying nearly half or more of the fertile area. Its existence itself oppresses the living space of many small mage organizations, and ordinary people naturally have no legal understanding of what these mage masters want to do, just passively drift with the current, Because of the competition among the mages, they bear heavy taxes and voluntary labor.

This is the origin of the contradiction - on the surface.

In fact, the trend of unifying most of the eastern plain of guantian white pagoda has appeared 200 years ago. Many small organizations are not willing to join guantian White Pagoda, but rather kneel down to join. Although the tax revenue of the common people is heavy, it is also relative to that of the eastern plain. In fact, compared with the Xishan kingdoms, The tax revenue in the eastern plain is even conscientious, far from death.

But the problems still come from the seemingly unrelated civilians.

In recent years, under the leadership of guantian white tower, large-scale magic technology reform has been carried out in the whole eastern plain. A large number of factories and workshops have appeared in various places. With the effective action ability of the mages, in just half a year, the major cities in the eastern plain have successfully carried out preliminary magic modification, Every household uses cheap magic heating, and there is no need to buy firewood in the city. Instead, magic stoves can be used.

However, although the quality of life of the low-level civilians has been greatly facilitated, the mages obviously did not consider the problem of "magic pollution".

In fact, it's not right to say that, because in the early days of the magic factory, many high-level mages found that the energy furnace core of the magic factory would emit a lot of colorful magic dust, which carried special magic crystals that were extremely difficult to be absorbed by human beings and would cause damage to the body of ordinary people. So they closed some factories and tried to find a solution.

This solution is not difficult to find. After learning from the experience of the northern Empire and setting up an anti pollution array for the magic power factory, guantian Baita began to set up a large-scale magic power factory in its own sphere of influence, trying to modernize all the towns in its own sphere of influence. However, many of the solutions come up with very good ideas, But it's a different story.

Because the anti pollution Dharma array needs silver level or even gold level mages to set it up, the funds required for its establishment and maintenance are very high. Many magic factory owners who have obtained the right to operate have withdrawn this step in private and directly discharged the pollution into the atmosphere or even rivers. On the contrary, they do not live near the factory, and the pollution has nothing to do with them, But the villages and towns around the factory could not avoid suffering from it, and even a large number of deaths caused by magic poisoning.

Mages have strong resistance to the pollution of this special magic crystal, and can even digest part of it. The so-called magic power pollution is not only a small threat to them, but also a small welfare. In addition, in order to ensure the success of modern magic power reform, the high-level mages of guantian white tower also turn a blind eye to this kind of shoddy work, Close your eyes... Just like those magic factory owners think.

Anyway, it's not that they live in the polluted area. Who cares what ordinary people think?

The ordinary people in the eastern plain living in those polluted areas, as well as the small mage forces living around the influence area of guantian white tower, were forced to bear the poison of this kind of pollution.What can they say and do?

They can do nothing.

In the eastern plain, mages and non mages are two classes. Unless they reach the golden level, they are naturally inferior to mages. Needless to say, ordinary people are just for the purpose of producing new mages. As long as they have the talent of common people and casters, Then he will be immediately drawn into this circle and assimilated by this circle.

Ordinary people, in the eyes of the mage, are not even four people.

They are just tools in the eyes of mages, human shaped equipment used to produce basic resources. They are not respected at all, and they are not allowed to have any doubts and opinions - even because they are not casters, their lives are not in the eyes of those mages.

——Can the master master not think of the problem? How can you civilians have the wisdom and courage to question the order of the mage? Just do it obediently.

——Ridiculous. Will the above orders change because of your complaints? You are the one who should adapt!

——Pollution or something will be solved in the future. As for now, just bear it. The present sacrifice is a necessary sacrifice for progress and truth.

——But we won't remember your names, ha ha ha ha!

As a result, sorrow spreads, countless families cry, men lose their wives and daughters, women lose their husbands and sons, some of the heavily polluted villages even lose half of their population, and the rest of them are deformed. No one can tolerate this kind of life unless he does not regard himself as human and loses his resistance gene, Forget the last roar.

The processions in the eastern plains, like the revolutions in the far south Kingdom, were not civil strife and strife in essence.

But because of sorrow and fall into despair, before dying roar.

As for the northern empire... To tell you the truth, if it wasn't for Joshua's lack of sweat now, he would be glad to wipe off a cold sweat.

Because he knows very well that compared with the far south and the eastern plains, if it were not for Israel's Skynet plan a few days ago, the "Sadness" accumulated at the bottom of the northern Empire would be ten times and a hundred times as much as those in these two places.

The war with the orcs for many years brought heavy tax pressure, the open and secret struggles between the new and old nobles, and the shadow disputes in private. As a traditional aristocratic Empire, the nobles had the right to ask and obtain from the common people. Even from the original imperial law, the ordinary people who were not citizens themselves were the property of the Lords.

The protection fees of gangs, the human traffickers who sell human beings in private, the oppression and annexation of land by large families to small families, and the arrogant exploitation and abuse of nobles... Under the surface of the northern empire's victory over orcs, there were already many holes and scars.

As long as a fire is ignited, the foundation of the Empire will collapse. This is why in the previous life, after the death of Israel, the great emperor who suppressed the situation, the seemingly powerful northern Empire split on the spot and fell into a full-scale civil war without any delay.

Because compared with living in darkness, ordinary people would rather die in the fire of war.

"So it's really a good thing that Israel's total absolute dictatorship..."

Thinking of this, Joshua could not help sighing: "justice does not preach itself, only power can... Ha ha, [justice without light needs power to preach.], I didn't expect that the empire is still in a relaxed situation, which is really caused by the justice of power. "

Today's northern empire is much better than before. At least, Israel has publicly executed a large number of despicable nobles with extremely bad reputation. It has also comprehensively swept up many gangs and cleaned up the bottom atmosphere of the whole empire.

In addition, many recent policies have made ordinary people's lives better, so the sadness hidden in the dark did not break out and turned into a wave of resistance like that in the far south and eastern plains.

People who have lost their hate targets and have a good life are forgetful. What they want is to live with dignity. As long as they have enough food and the right to speak, no matter how critical the situation is, they will become the power of civilization, not the opposite.

After analyzing the truth of the contradictions in the three regions, Joshua and Iger turn their attention to the last Xishan region.

Then, they just didn't analyze anything.

No matter how you look at it, the Roman emperor in Xishan just started to expand and annex because of his rising power. Relatively speaking, this is actually the most normal side.

After all, for the mainland of mirov, especially Xishan, it is normal to fight, but it is strange not to fight. Many kingdoms have been fighting piecemeal for hundreds of years. Now it is a good thing that there is a powerful force to unify the surrounding areas. Ordinary people are also happy to see this. After all, if they have the merits of war, they will be promoted to nobility and a war will come down, The war dividend alone can make the local residents eat for a long time, not to mention the chance to become aristocrats?As for the residents of other countries... Alas, it's a great honor to be a resident of a powerful country in a place like Xishan. According to Iger's information, many residents of other countries even take the initiative to join Roman emperor, and now there is even a momentum of a hundred countries coming to Korea - if this new strong man can be recognized by the local psionic royalty in Xishan, With the approval of Shengjian emissary, he may be able to unify the whole Xishan area.

"So... It's very likely that it's not an evil god?"

Thinking about the results of his analysis, after whispering a word to himself, Iger could not help thinking of the fate of many demons in Joshua's mouth. He was a little confused: "but this can't explain the change on the other side of the abyss."

"I think it's evil."

Joshua insisted on his own view. He frowned: "at least, our world is still stable, and most people can live. But on the other side of the abyss, the" sadness and despair "of those races whose civilization is dying and the world is on the verge of destruction must be thousands of times more than ours."

"In our world, there may only be some civil strife and disputes, which can be foreseen and solved, but the civil strife and disputes in the demons can completely destroy them, and break their hope of struggling for survival."

"Despair because of sorrow, and destruction because of despair. It's better to die when there's no hope... If it's really caused by the evil god's sign affecting people's heart, then the name of the evil god."

At this point, Joshua's words faltered. He let out a breath and said in a deep voice, "it should be [sorrow] or [despair]."

"Under the Pope's throne, there is no need to care about such weak things as" internal affairs of other countries ". This is a matter of the survival of civilization. I suggest that the legendary strongmen should immediately intervene in the source of these" sadness and despair. "
