"The newly emerging science is too weak in front of the relatively easy-to-cultivate fighting spirit." Xiao Chen said.
"That's right. If you can kill a wild boar by throwing a stone, why bother researching better crossbows? If you can easily lift boulders, why bother inventing pulleys and cranes?" Picture-like scenes began to appear behind Louisa, showing people using their fighting spirit to deal with various problems in life.
"But, with you here, you can force some people to study those things, right?" Xiao Chen said.
"Yes, I did. But since they had no need, I forced them to study science, and their progress was always limited and slow. Their development speed was probably only a fraction of what He Jin recorded." Louisa sighed, "In addition to the slow development of science, those wild mages who sense their magic power are also a big problem."
"Is that the wizard those people captured?"
"Yes. After all, this is a continent with abundant magic power. Every few years, there will always be people who feel the call of magic and consciously or unconsciously become magicians. Once these people feel the power of magic, it is difficult for them to give it up. I have always followed Asilos's request and let the judicial authorities deal with these people. But they are like weeds in spring, and they can never be completely removed."
Louisa used the words "deal with" and "eliminate", but Xiao Chen knew that there was a lot of blood and gore involved. In the past two days, he had heard more stories from the past. In these stories, the judicial authorities would rather kill the wrongdoers than let them go. Similarly, whenever a few wizards with extraordinary talents appeared and established an organization, the wizard riots and rebellions that followed were also full of blood.
Louisa continued, "Although all wizard riots in history were suppressed by the judicial organs, there were a few that still caused great damage. Once, the leader of the rebellious wizards was the head of a large family. He joined forces with some large families and almost broke through the Saint City. Wars like these often cause the continent to regress.
Many times I have felt that this continent is like a lame man climbing a mountain. He slipped down when he was not careful, and has been going up and down like this for thousands of years.
Finally, in the last life, this place developed to the level you see today. However, the speed recorded by Li Hejin is far behind. Perhaps Asilos will be disappointed to see all this. "
Xiao Chen said, "No, I don't think he has the right to be disappointed. From the footage I've seen, Asilos is a somewhat crazy visionary. Although the things he did laid the foundation for your work, they are essentially very extreme. This is probably why many people oppose him. Even if someone like him can live for thousands of years, he may not be able to lead this continent in the right direction. And you are the one who is actually building it. Because you have been doing it for thousands of years based on his orders. I think compared to Asilos's random ideas, you are the one who is truly guiding the progress of civilization on this continent."
"This is the first time someone has commented on me like this. Others have not understood the ins and outs of this, and they are not qualified to comment on me."
Xiao Chen asked: "So what is your attitude towards my coming this time? Are you willing to cooperate with me?"
"It's not cooperation, but inheritance," said Louisa.
"Inherit? Inherit what?" Xiao Chen asked in surprise.
"Inherit what the Origin Tower left behind, and the right to rule this continent. You should have seen Asilos' instructions in the video just now. When the right person appears at the right time and can lead this continent in the direction he set, I will hand over the legacy of the Origin Tower and the authority of the Western Continent to him.
I have just made various possible calculations. You meet the conditions that Asilos set for me as my successor: you are the inheritor of the Seven Towers, and you have mastered the skills of the Origin of Spellcasting. You have already established the country that Asilos wants to see in the East Continent. So I am ready to choose you, hand over everything, and I can stop from this reincarnation and become the tower spirit that I should be again. "
"How are you going to let me inherit all this?"
"After I leave the body of the Saint, I will confirm your position as the last Saint. You will become the Archon of the Republic of the Western Continent, and the current Saint will assist you. Of course, Olivia does not have the ability and qualifications, so you can ignore her existence. The Sage Council and the Judiciary will be responsible for you. You will be able to use any resources of this continent to fight against the God of Nature.
In addition, I will tell you the password left in my previous life. You can use it to open the secret vault of the White Tower and obtain the scepter and crown representing the Archon. The main body of the Source Tower is also there. Then you can put me back to the Source Tower. As for now, I feel He Jin's power. I can stay in the Spirit Tower for a while."
Xiao Chen asked: "Do other people in this country know that there is such a position of governor?"
Luisa said, "Of course, in the White Tower, the Archon's seat has always been in the center of the Sages' Hall, and the Saint's seat is at the lower left. However, since Asilos left, no one has ever sat in this position for thousands of years. Therefore, no one realizes that the Saint is not the real supreme leader, but the Archon is."
Xiao Chen secretly thought that Louisa had taken it for granted. She still didn't know that the country she ruled had begun to undergo various changes. The judicial institution was no longer so loyal and even wanted to secretly deal with the saint. The Sage Society had transformed from a feudal aristocracy to a capitalist and hoped that the saint would become a nominal leader. Neither of them wanted to see a consul with real power come over them again.
Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Since you think I can do it, I won't refuse. Now that the God of Nature is about to awaken, we must race against time. However, there are some things I must make clear in advance. After you announce this succession order, I have my own way of managing this country."
Luisa said, "Of course. After giving you the title of Archon, I will no longer interfere in the politics of this country. I will just quietly be a tower spirit and wait for the moment to fight the God of Nature. Everything else will be left to you to decide."
