My summons are weird

The faint blue light on the top of the magic tower that has been silent for a long time in Chenxi collar begins to shine, and the trajectory of the flow of magic power clearly appears in the field of vision of magicians above the fifth level. Transfer to the clock tower located in the center of Dawn Territory.

The clock driven by the magic spar began to operate the moment it felt the magic power, and the wind hammer formed by the wind magic condensed to tap the giant clock, and the rhythmic magic power flowed through, and the sound of the bell became more and more rapid.

The people who witnessed the perfect operation of the clock tower's timekeeping and warning functions cheered and applauded.

This is not a very difficult job to complete, the key is time.

Since the start of the magic power wave, the intermittent magic power disturbance has made the defensive magic circle of the Dawn Territory unable to activate, and they ran naked all the way. With the passage of time, the dusk and dusk sisters and brothers who recorded the magic power disturbance were surprised to find that the records of magic failures were gradually decreasing. .

So under Sierra's signal, the warning circle, which was least disturbed by the magic power, was officially deployed. At the same time, this was also an observation of the craftsmen's ability.

Lu Yu, who returned to the Chenxi Territory, has no external interference, and can finally develop the territory with peace of mind, but unfortunately, he knows very little about the upcoming layout.

But for the relevant history, he found a lot in the vast sea of ​​books.

Magic energy, or simply simply referred to as magic energy, is a special means of using magic or magic power as an energy source.

It is not that such a method has not yet appeared, on the contrary, all the Mela tribes are now using this power to varying degrees, but it is not for civilian use, but for military use.

The magic blunderbuss equipped by the Celer elite troops in the Mostana area is a weapon activated by a portable [energy] that contains magic power. The magic power flows through the preset magic circle, triggers, and then emits powerful magic Light bombs or light beams.

Such weapons are also available in the four major countries of Mela, and they are even more sophisticated. However, even if the workmanship is better than that of the magic gun that can be scrapped after a few rounds of Celer, its higher cost makes the magic gun still a minority. Human toys.

During the war with the dominant blood race, the Earl of Cordzorn once used a thousand magic guns at one time, and attacked the foreign race alliance far more than them in the form of a volley in the pioneering land under the abundant mountains.

This fierce battle that took place four hundred years ago and the glorious era is about to go away is the battle with the largest number of magic guns used in Meera's records, and it is also the last time.

Cordzon, who defeated the alien coalition, paid a huge price. Out of the thousand magic guns, only four hundred were recovered intact after the battle, and the remaining six hundred, nearly five hundred exploded after only being fired twice. The reason for the magic power resonated, forming a small-scale explosion.

This fatal explosion almost caused the defeat of the Earl of the Evil Beast. If the Earl of the Evil Beast hadn't led the guards in a bloody fight to rescue the allies who were lost in the enemy's line, the foreign coalition forces would have broken through the Earl of the Evil Beast that day. Drive straight in, and end the last trace of warmth in the glorious era ahead of schedule.

As Cordzon, who has the best forging method of weapons and equipment among the four major countries, he likes and hates this new toy that he has been exploring and trying to perfect since the time of Melias.

Back in those days when artisans were not declining like warriors, Emperor Cordzon sent his personal guards to ask if it was possible to improve the structure of magic guns so that they could be widely used.

The great craftsmen from all over the world gave the emperor a cautious and conservative answer.

"We need time, materials, gold coins, venues, excellent apprentices, and a relaxed external environment."

Facing the quarrelsome forces in the country, Emperor Cordzon finally overruled all opinions and granted the master craftsman's request. The ancestors of Ravennis had a glimpse of the great potential of this new toy created by Melias, not only The allocation of funds, and even a certain degree of tax exemption for the great craftsmen who participated in the research, once intended to further enhance their social status.

Sera and Lulu both smiled and commented on the kings of the four kingdoms of Mela in the glorious era. Even the most stupid and pleasure-loving kings in that period were far better than many guys who stepped onto the stage of history after that.

At that time, they still had the courage to carry out a certain degree of reform. The ancestors of Ravennis were undoubtedly one of them. However, this reform did not bring Ravennis enough precious wealth to accumulate for future generations. Instead, it brought a series of disasters to the artisans of the Mera continent.

Mu Mu, who was in the audience, shook her little wings in wonder: "Tax exemption, social status improvement, participation in this research and even praise from outsiders, a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction... Isn't it very good, why did it lead to disaster? "

In the room, Lulu, Lu Yu, and Sera were sitting on chairs, discussing in a stable triangle shape. Hearing Mu Mu's question, the three of them aimed at her together, even standing on top of this stable triangle, like a priest The same is true for the sacrificed fog demon.

Serra rested his chin and said helplessly: "In the middle and late period of Melias' rule, magic guns began to be equipped and used, and the failure rate and loss rate have always been high. The emperor at that time also intentionally made improvements to strengthen the army. Fighting power, but in the end he gave up."

Lu Yu answered: "It's not because he didn't want to improve, but because he received unanimous opposition from the entire power group. In the middle and late stages, Melias started to implement the monarchy, but because of the senate system that was implemented before, This monarchy is a bit hypocritical, so he can't ignore the voices of this group of people, unless he also wants to try a simple assassination with a few more blood holes on his body."

"The reform of military strength is beneficial to the nobles, and the rule will be more stable. Why do they oppose it?" Mu Mu was surprised.

"You need to separate the army. In Melias' army, are there more magicians or more ordinary people?"

"That must be an ordinary... person..." Mu Mu's eyes gradually widened.

Like Lu Yu, Lulu liked this little housekeeper chosen by Sigrid very much. She called Mu Mu to her side and pinched her face.

"The production of magic guns requires the participation of magicians, but in the end they are used by ordinary people. These mortals who cannot awaken their magic power can use magic guns to kill them who have mastered magic power... You are them, how do you choose?"

"Seal...block?"

Sera shook his head: "At that time, Melias still had to face. They didn't ban it, but they didn't continue to conduct research and maintenance. Although the people of insight at that time were unable to fight against the tide, they pointed it out sharply."

"'We don't need to research, but we can't completely block this possibility. Maybe in the era of our children and grandchildren, this will be a technology that can be properly used.'" Serra finished repeating, with a look of emotion on his face, "Maybe It was the words of these people that had the effect. Maybe it was because the factions of Melias were not a whole and they were stumbling each other. Not from Melias anymore."

"And... times have changed and circumstances have changed, but not by much."

Although the ancestors of Ravennis resisted all opinions, there were a lot of people who were dissatisfied with this order. The magicians who stood with the ruling class to enjoy the fruits of victory were only dissatisfied with the promotion of the craftsman's status at first, and felt that they were underestimated. .

As time went by, the modification plan of the magic gun came out, and two samples arrived at the Imperial Capital of Cordzorn along with it.

The ancestors of Ravennis tried a new type of magic gun in front of the nobles, with powerful destructive power, adjustable size according to workmanship, wide application of portable firepower, and applicability to activate the functions of ordinary people...

"This is just a sample. If it can continue to be improved, the probability of failure will be reduced, and the consumption will be reduced. Cordzon will have an invincible army!"

Ravennis, Yingrui's ancestor, was thinking about the future with a rosy face at the banquet. The conversation left in the history books did not record the reactions of the audience, but every time Lu Yu read this, he would feel There was a chill on the back.

He seemed to be able to see the cold, displeased, and vicious eyes of the magicians among the echoing crowd.

What happened not long after pushed this dissatisfaction and displeasure to another extreme—fear.

Less than a year after the dinner, the craftsmen who studied the magic gun claimed to have found a special method that allowed the magic circle of the magic gun to launch an attack that could corrode magic power after being driven by magic power.

The views of Lu Yu, Sera, and Lulu are the same as that of most later scholars who study this period of history—the artisans are lying.

Because almost all the craftsmen who participated in the transformation project of the magic gun afterwards said that they never knew that the master craftsmen had discovered this craft, and even the magicians had never found the magic gun with this ability. , The craftsmanship enough to kill a magician is completely non-existent.

There are many indications that this is a small means by several master craftsmen trying to take advantage of His Majesty's attention to magic guns to further enhance their own status and importance.

They are very clear that process improvement requires a lot of time trial and error, and behind a result is often a large amount of waste products. Before starting the project, they stated this to His Majesty the Emperor, but they were worried that the Emperor would lose patience after a long period of lack of attention. They He planned to use this as a gimmick to get more funds and care.

This lie and greed finally detonated the group of magicians.

Not only the magicians in Cordzon, but the entire group of magicians in Mera have put pressure on the country of Cordzon under the instruction of the school, and will not provide any help for the magic gun transformation craftsmen.

Gradually, non-cooperation spread to the common people. Magicians began not to provide services to craftsmen, ranging from a scroll to a bottle of potion. Even the taverns and shops controlled by magicians said no to craftsmen.

This massive action finally produced a chain reaction, which soon made Cordzon's originally peaceful and peaceful country full of complaints.

Ordinary people cannot participate in this level of struggle. Their most intuitive feeling about this is "increasing prices". The rising prices of food, basic craft materials, and daily necessities have caused widespread dissatisfaction.

They didn't know who to blame, so they could only point all their spearheads at the emperor himself. Unexpectedly, at this stage, insulting the emperor seemed to be guided by someone. Life is one-way transparent.

No one punished the criticism of the emperor, the scolding became more and more intense, and the contradictions continued to spiral.

The magician who has mastered the core power has a symbiotic relationship with the ruler. Facing the huge momentum and the pressure from all sides, the ancestors of Ravennis panicked. At the most nervous time, one-third of the wizard tower belonging to Cordzone Some people openly supported the opponents, but the ancestors of Ravennis were unable to punish this group of people, because the other two-thirds of the Mage Tower were also watching.

According to information, except for the Theocracy, which has just completed domination of the original country among the four major powers and has yet to gain a stable foothold, the other two countries have sent members to Cordzon to participate in the grand event to varying degrees.

All they did was to weaken Cordzon's already overabundant martial virtue.

The craftsmen were struggling, and with the changing situation, they became the sinners of Cordzon, and the voices of pointing and pointing could be heard endlessly in the streets and alleys.

Organized chaos gradually turned into spontaneous criticism as ordinary people who resented how bad their lives had become publicly abused them and even their children.

When the home of the first craftsman was broken into by angry crowds and burned to the ground, everyone seemed to have found an outlet for the fire in their hearts. On the dark street, the constant sound of crazy sounds resounded through the night sky.

Overnight, the homes of thirty-nine artisans in the imperial capital were destroyed, and dozens of people were injured or died. Some artisans' children were even tied to wooden frames and paraded through the streets.

The group that was supposed to maintain order was silent.

The Shadow Guard, which symbolizes the will of the Kordzon Empire, has never been dispatched because they don't know who to deal with.

What they are facing is the surging will, not tangible things. Even if the knife in their hands is enough to break steel and rocks, it cannot destroy the monsters that can swallow the mind of every normal person.

[Molten Night Riot], this turmoil recorded in the annals of Cordzon lasted for two full days, and there were as many as a hundred violent incidents recorded near the imperial capital. What happened in the major city-states in Cordzon, There are no more detailed historical records, but I believe... there will be no less than a thousand.

After the [Molten Night Riot], the ancestor of Ravennis compromised with the magician group. He publicly abolished the preferential treatment he had announced to craftsmen, and described it as "too reckless and immature ideas, lacking in thinking", and once criticized himself "In the future, we must think twice before making a decision and stop doing stupid things."

Cordzon's reforms failed, and the [Molten Night riot] is recorded in the history books, but not as a success story.

Among all the books that mention the decline in the status of craftsmen, this page can never be turned over. The history of Mela craftsmen is forever frozen here.
