"The question finally becomes how to awaken the Unmarked to become the Marked?"

Lucheng is basically certain that when an ordinary person possesses an inscription and becomes a spellcaster, the happiness of the residents he generates will increase a thousand times. After that, the more inscriptions he masters, the more happiness the residents will generate.

The current population of the Xiuenzhelai Kingdom is as high as 670,000, but according to the data provided by the seal, there are only 12,000 seal holders who have truly awakened and possess the inscription.

"It is very difficult for a commoner family to awaken into a spellcaster. Although there are some examples, if they are discovered by the local nobles..." Nancy could no longer find the right words to describe it.

"Will he be adopted?"

Lu Cheng gave a milder answer.

The seal holder is a magician. If the nobles want to firmly grasp their power in the hands of the common people, they will inevitably control all the magicians in the entire territory in their own hands.

If a child from a civilian family truly awakens the inscription and possesses the potential to become a magician, most nobles will choose to adopt him as a servant.

"Well, another part will be adopted by the church, which can actually be said to be controlled." Nancy said these words while glancing at Noyi who was sitting next to her.

Noi has always believed that she was an orphan without parents, so she was adopted by the Soul Sect in Crescent Moon Town. But in Nancy's opinion, it is very likely that Noi's parents sold her to the church.

"So how do ordinary people awaken to become seal bearers?" Lu Cheng asked the question he wanted to know most at the moment.

"Bloodline and talent."

As an apprentice of the Gemansis Secret Order, Nancy knows some inside information about the order.

"The descendants of the seal bearer have a high chance of awakening the inscription, so the purity of blood is very important for a magician family," said Nancy.

"Is the probability of inheritance higher? But since ordinary people can also awaken, it means that mass production is possible."

"Mass production?!" This was not the first time Nancy had heard this word since coming to this camp. In Nancy's eyes, this word was synonymous with powerful.

Because she knew that the chair she was sitting on was mass-produced, and the table was also mass-produced... Unlike the primitive handmade products in Xiu Enzhe's Kingdom, most of the things in this camp were mass-produced by golems!

If it were furniture like these, it would be fine. But if the spellcaster could also achieve "mass production", Nancy couldn't imagine what the world would be like in the future.

But Lucheng is serious.

"This is one of our future research goals."

Lucheng is not sure how many countries it can sign alliance agreements with in the future, but if everyone in the Xiu Enzhe Kingdom is a spellcaster, the energy it supplies per day will increase by a thousand times, or even ten thousand times.

"future."

Nancy murmured the word, and Lu Cheng could hear the anticipation in her voice. If Elena was studying Chinese so hard in order to pass Subject 1,

She is devoted to learning Chinese... probably so that her country can manufacture cars in the future.

When Lu Cheng was about to outline the beautiful blueprint of the future world to the princess who had come from Xiu Enzhe, the seal suddenly appeared on the table again.

"Contractor!"

The seal jumped in front of Lu Cheng using its belly to bounce, as if it was going to jump into Lu Cheng's arms in the next second.

But Skare's crystal spirit appeared on the seal's head first and stopped its rolling ball-like movement.

"Contractor...Just now one of my compatriots was devoured by a blood crystal beast."

For the first time, Lu Cheng heard an emotion called anxiety in the bird's voice.

The atmosphere in the entire room dropped to freezing point at this moment. Elena also stopped writing, and her lips moved but she didn't know what to say.

Noi hugged her notebook tightly, her petite body trembling slightly.

The blood crystal beast left a terrible impression on everyone present, even a painful memory that penetrated deep into their bones.

Lu Cheng stood up and came behind Nuoyi, putting his hands on her shoulders. Nuoyi held Lu Cheng's arm with one hand and felt better.

"Could it be the Far South Empire? This should be... impossible." Nancy's voice sounded a little choked. She knew what it meant for the earth core to be devoured by the blood crystal beast.

That means the people of an entire country may become delicious meals for those monsters. As far as Nancy knows, the Far South Empire has also been plagued by blood crystal beasts recently. But how could an empire that is so powerful that it has annexed countless countries in the Far South Continent... be swallowed up by the blood crystal beasts

At this moment, what came to Nancy's mind was... the end of the world was coming, and this world might not have any future at all.

"Not Farnan, the fellow who was devoured was named Phikkiss," said the bird.

"Contractor! What...what should I do?"

The seal's emotions were much richer than the bird's, and its whole body was trembling slightly.

"The Kingdom of Figgis? It's one of the vassal states in the Far South." Nancy immediately found a map in her backpack and spread it out on the table.

The Kingdom of Figgis can also be called the Gray Feather Kingdom. This country is located above the Crystal Sea and is adjacent to the Far South Kingdom... and is separated from the Kingdom of Nancy by a principality.

Geographically it is very remote.

"Why was this country devoured by the blood crystal beasts? Could it be that the blood crystal beast disaster in the far south spread to their territory?" Nancy really couldn't figure it out. "I have to tell my father!"

Nancy no longer dared to think about it. The Blood Crystal Beast was an enemy more terrifying than the Far South Empire. She hurriedly left the room.

"Let's stop here for today's study." Lu Cheng watched Nancy leave, then took Nuoyi's hand and walked to her bedside.

Elena sat at the table in silence, while Lu Cheng covered Nuoyi with a sheet. She was still so scared that she held Lu Cheng's hand tightly.

"Lucheng, you will kill those blood crystal beasts like before, right?" Elena moved a folding stool to Noyi's bed and asked uneasily.

"If these blood crystal beasts are mindless beasts like before, it will be easy for us to destroy them with our firepower."

Lu Cheng was already considering the deployment of the battle. The enemy was coming faster than Lu Cheng had imagined, but as long as they knew where the enemy was, the rabbits had ten thousand ways to greet the other party's entire family.

"Can I... hold your hand too?" Elena looked at Noyi, who was lying on the bed and gradually felt at ease. She was now unable to calm down her fear of the blood crystal beast.

"Just a little while. I'm going to report this to the combat command center later."

Lu Cheng handed his other hand to Elena somewhat helplessly. Elena gently held Lu Cheng's hand, feeling the warmth from her palm, and the fear in her heart was gradually dispelled.
