I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 75 Fusion of Fire Curse and Urban Nobility

The black wolf, the old witch, the Griffin knight, and Ivita headed for the city [Parvega] in two carriages.

A wagon sat with Ivita and the people around him, a wagon loaded with cast iron ingots, and four blacksmith apprentices.

There was nothing to do in a carriage, and everyone started chatting.

During the chat, everyone talked about the conflict between Ambrose's urban faction and the aristocratic faction, and they couldn't help but say that cities seem to be more free than manors.

Evita couldn't deny it.

Because the current level of urban capital is probably 3-4 versions behind the real capital on earth.

The current urban capital is actually more like an urban aristocracy.

According to Ivita's point of view, the feudal lords had personal attachments to the serfs, but now Ambrose's guild system also binds apprentices and craftsmen.

Both sides are mandatory bondage to the person.

The only difference is that the apprentices and craftsmen of the guild are a little more independent than the serfs.

However, the guild will let the apprentices work for the master for free for two years, and then they will have to work for the master for about five years with low wages, and even if they leave the master, the apprentice will still be exploited by the guild.

However, in this process, the master and the guild may not even teach you the real technology.

Many guild apprentices waste 7 or 8 years of time, and then they get nothing, they can only change to another industry, or even go back to farming.

There are not many such apprentices, and they are all victims of the guild system.

But Ivita knew that he would need many excellent blacksmiths in the future.

Therefore, he put pressure on the old blacksmiths overtly and secretly several times in the territory, telling them not to hide anything, but to teach the apprentices.

Moreover, he also told the old blacksmiths that the demand for production will only increase in the future. If you don't want to drag down the development of the territory, you should let the apprentices learn something.

Don't wait until the time comes. If you teach temporarily, it will be too late.

He adopted a quota system for the iron foundry, that is, a blacksmith must smelt a certain amount of cast iron every month.

The advantage of this is that sometimes the master blacksmith has no time to work due to special reasons, so he must let the apprentices play for him. In this way, the master blacksmith has to teach the apprentices some real skills.

In the carriage, Ivita twirled the ring of desire on her little finger and said with a chuckle, "Everyone, this is why I choose the quota system. Because I believe in the evil of people more than their moral conscience."

"If I can use the system to achieve my goals, I will never rely on the kindness of people."

Hei Lang and Griffin Knight nodded again and again.

Yes, instead of expecting the old blacksmiths to hand over their technology obediently, it is better to formulate a system that makes them have to hand over their technology.

The old witch was even more amazed at how well this demon mastered human nature.

This made the old witch even more afraid. Fortunately, she thought that she was very close to Ambrose, as long as she found her lover...

Let her be his scapegoat, and believe that she will be able to leave the Demon God's side soon.

The old witch said: "Your Majesty, do you know? Your point of view is actually the dispute between the two largest republics on the southern peninsula. The aristocratic commercial republic shares your point of view. It believes that the only way to protect the republic is to believe in the evil of human nature." , we must use institutions and civic education to protect the spirit of the republic."

"But another republic [Florcana] organized by the handicraft guild believes that human virtues must be used to maintain the spirit of the republic."

"The conflict of ideas between the two republics even surpassed the doctrinal dispute. Even the church dare not get involved in order to prevent it from becoming the mortal enemy of the two republics at the same time."

Evita smiled.

Indeed, when two people quarrel, if you go in to persuade the quarrel, you will probably be beaten up by both parties at the same time.

Ivita is curious about these two republics. "Can citizens of both republics participate in politics?"

The old witch looked at Ivita in surprise. "How is it possible, Your Majesty, there is really a country in this world where all people can participate in politics? Who would make such absurd laws?"

Iveta's words seemed to mess up the old witch's head, and the old witch screamed a little. "It's absolutely impossible."

"The Noble Merchant Republic and Florcana are both Millennium Republics, but the former can only participate in politics with big merchant nobles and lifelong councillors, and in the latter, only guild leaders and big merchants can participate in politics."

Evita nodded.

So that's the case, then he understood.

There is no modern republic in this world where everyone is equal, everyone is a citizen, and there is no legally privileged class on Earth.

The republics on the southern peninsula, as well as the city council of Ambrose, are traditional republics.

There are nobility, even oligarchic republics with monarchs, privileged classes and legal privileges.

On Earth, the French Revolution initiated by Napoleon was the fate of revolutionizing the monarchy countries and these traditional oligarchic republics.

"It may take about two days before we reach our destination. Let me take a look at the magic book you prepared for me first." Ivita flipped open the handwritten magic book that the old witch gave her.

Turning the pages of the book, there are complicated contents, but it mainly records four kinds of magic——

fire channeling spell,

spark curse,

Flying Stone Curse,

Throwing spells.

The Hearthstone Witch said: "There are four spells in total, but you only need to choose one of the same type of spells."

"These are spells that I know are more suitable for you, but I don't know which ones are more suitable for you."

When Ivita turned to the spark spell and the flame guide spell, he stopped suddenly. These two spells have their own flame array and specific magic medium materials.

Ivita stared at the flame pattern on the magic book, his eyes narrowed for a moment.

Because in the magic book, the patterns of the two different flame arrays turned into jumping flames in different states in his eyes, floating in mid-air, and gradually fused together.

Not only that, the incantations of the two spells turned into separate letters in his eyes, and then these letters were quickly combined to become a new incantation.

The spell is in his eyes, merging!

Ivita gradually realized that the power brought to him by Zeus allowed him to add the name of the Greek god to the magic of the lightning line and transform it.

And the power that the pull brought to him seemed to allow him to fuse two similar flame magics.

Moreover, it seems that it is not the limit, and it seems that it can continue to integrate other flame magic.

In the carriage, the temperature suddenly rose, and Hei Lang kept wiping his sweat.

At this time, the carriage of the Evita team was about to cross a stream, and the hub touched the water in the stream, causing part of the water to boil.

The witcher Black Wolf stared into Ivita's eyes and found that his pupils had turned crimson.

"Don't you all feel hot?" Hei Lang became depressed, he was almost roasted.

"Oh yes, I forgot, you are a witch and a knight respectively."

Griffin Knight laughed. "Yes, I have a spiritual skin cell structure that can withstand high temperatures."

The old witch seemed to have misunderstood the situation. She didn't notice that the two magics were merging in Ivita's eyes. She said, "Your Majesty, you really have a unique feeling for fire magic."

"As soon as you touched it, the magic began to change abnormally. It's no wonder that one of the origins of the black magic of flames has a deep relationship with the eldest princess of Alsace."

"You're repeating the path your body's ancestors walked."

"That's the fun thing about magic."

　Seeking to follow up, these two days are the most critical moment, everyone must follow up.
