I weave fate in parallel time and space

Inside the castle, Shaar retracted his gaze, and everything that happened just now was under his gaze.

Although he can use the spells he collected during his years in Beichen, it doesn't mean that other people can use them, but now it has eased Shaar's worries a little.

Many incantations in the Taoist classics are performed by communicating with the gods, such as the Anshen Land Curse, and the Hell Hell Curse he just used, which communicates with Suzaku, and the thunder method that Shaar used back then.

Among the three magic treasures bestowed to Zhang Daoling by the Taishang Laojun at the beginning, one of them is called: Zheng Yi Meng Wei Talisman:

"Lu" is a roster that records the gods. It can "unify all ghosts and gods in the world, punish evil spirits, kill goblins, recruit spirits and summon energy, control mountains and rivers, cleanse filth, pass on the post, and pass on the gods. It's all over."

Therefore, in Zhengdao, there has always been a conferring ceremony, which is equivalent to a professional qualification certificate. A Zhengdao priest can only be qualified to summon heavenly soldiers and generals after conferring a talisman, and can practice the law. He is called a mage.

"Lu" is the combined name of talisman and lu.Taoism believes that talismans are formed naturally from the clouds in the sky, copied by gods, and passed on to the world, so they have magical functions such as summoning and impeaching ghosts and gods, calming the five directions, subduing demons and suppressing demons, and curing diseases and eliminating disasters.

Lulu, also known as Falu, usually lists the names of gods and officials and corresponding talismans, and some are also painted with statues of gods.Only when Taoist priests have the corresponding dharma can they summon gods, officials, soldiers and generals to guard their bodies, or serve them to practice Taoism.

The talismans are divided into different grades, and the higher the grade, the higher the magic soldiers and generals that can be summoned.

But Dharma talisman is not granted casually, it needs to be proficient in specific scripture spells.

This is the rule set when the gods existed in the past.

According to common sense, after the fairy god disappeared, these spells should not be used anymore.

But these spells can still be used.

In a sense, it also shows that these gods did not really disappear, but part of them remained in a certain way, which may have been integrated into the rules, or there may only be a little aura left.

However, it is undeniable that the power of spells is also a little less than in the past.

As in the past, with this kind of magic spell that summons the fire of Suzaku, without the birth of Suzaku, the ghost king is enough to lose his soul.

Zhang Daoling had established a sect in the past, and Xia Ya gave him the position of Si Ye, which is equivalent to the position of vice-principal. There are two Si Ye, one of which is naturally Xuanzang.

Both of them are powerful talents with reliable personalities, and the affairs of the academy should be handled very well, so there is no need to worry about Beichen for the time being.

However, Britannia's side is different.

"Hmm~"

Alicia in his arms let out a cry. They were lying on the bed now, and Alicia was lazily lying in his arms, with a little tiredness in the corners of her eyes.

On the floor next to the bed, various styles of clothes and underwear were scattered, which looked very messy. There were wet sheets in the laundry bucket in one corner, which would be washed in the magic laundry bucket later.

Alicia slowly raised her slightly heavy eyelids, looked in the direction of the balcony, Shenzhou was twelve hours faster than Britannia, so it was night there, but Britannia's side was early morning.

She yawned a little, got up from Xia Ya's body, and as the quilt slipped off, her beautiful curves gradually revealed to Xia Ya's eyes as the bed sheet slipped off.

The warm sunlight swayed in through the window, shining on her fair skin, even reflecting it.

There are certain things that you never get tired of, no matter how many times you watch them.

"What time is it?" Alicia asked a little confused.

"It's about seven o'clock in the morning." Xia Ya said.

"That's still early." Alicia yawned softly, lay down on Char's side, pulled up the quilt again, and closed her eyes against Char's arm, "I'll sleep a little longer, I was very tired last night."

Xia smiled, turned sideways and quietly looked at Alicia's sleeping face. Although she basically didn't sleep much last night, her complexion was still ruddy. Alicia has her own personality whether she wears makeup or not. beauty.

You don't have to do anything, just look at it and feel very happy.

Shaar approached Alicia, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and whispered with his forehead against hers.

"Miss Sissy?"

Hearing the sound, Alicia suddenly opened her eyes.

"Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve in the East." Xia Ya said, "It's a day for family reunion, we can ask Lisa to bring her back for a meal, in another capacity."

Lisa was the name of the child-rearing artificial human that Char commissioned Tony to create.

Britannia also has a Spring Festival, which was brought over by people from Beizhou in the past, and it is a very important festival in Britannia, but the days will be different due to the time difference.

Alicia watched Xia quietly, with waves in those bright eyes.

"Do you miss her?"

Shaar was silent for a moment and whispered, "You are right, that is indeed the greatest miracle in the world."

Alicia's eyelids closed slightly.

"Then I have to prepare well."

Alicia got up from the bed.

"You also change your clothes, let's go out together, buy some ingredients, and let's cook some complicated dishes."

She was already thinking about what to cook, muttering in a low voice.

"Make a dish of squirrel mandarin fish and Longjing shrimp. She likes to eat sweet ones, and then make Dongpo pork, oh yes."

She turned her head to look at Shaar, "How about being a Taoist Buddha jumping over the wall?"

During the time when Xia Ya came out of Jixia Academy, Xia Ya and Alicia took a good tour of this gourmet city and ate a lot of food. Alicia said that she had eaten in Beichen recently and was impressed.

"That will take a lot of time." Shaar said.

"Isn't there another day?"

Shaar nodded, "It's up to you, make another plate of grilled fish, and call Arthur over, as well as your two older sisters."

"In this case, the weight of doing it will be huge," Alicia said.

They have a very normal attitude towards Sissy leaving the castle temporarily.

Although Alicia was a little sad before, she is actually fine now.

Extending the timeline, the time her daughter left was just an episode for them, just like going out to school.

Moreover, they didn't leave her completely, they would accompany her through various important nodes in life, but they could not act as parents.

The brief departure is for a better encounter in the future.

Alicia and Xia are both parents who died early, and this is nothing compared to never being able to see each other again.

Although Xiaya hid it very well, Sissy discovered it during the few years she lived in the castle. She would agree to whatever Sissy said. A meteorite fell, and it is still in the basement of the castle.

It was the same just now, obviously he wanted to see her, but he still asked her if she wanted to see her, making it seem like she was the reason why Sissi came here, it was very awkward.

To be honest, Alicia felt that it would not be a good thing for her education for Sissy to stay by Shaar's side all the time, and she would have to be the villain at that time.

It is also a good thing to have Lisa, a professional parenting artificial human, take you with you when you go out.

Shaar and Alicia quickly changed their clothes, and they walked together on the streets of the imperial capital. Although they had just experienced a revolution not long ago, the whole of Britannia seemed to be quiet during this time. At least the emperor is like this.

With the imperial capital as the center, the government established by Mordred and other revolutionary participants is gradually radiating power outward.

Most of the army has been collected by Mordred, so it is only a matter of time.

And at the same time, Mordred also carried out public ownership reforms in Britannia,

Of course, all public ownership is still impractical, and the market vitality brought about by private ownership cannot be denied.

Domestic capital is now watching. They need a relatively free market, which is why they acquiesced in the rebellion and even helped the government.

If it is all public ownership, then these capitals will undoubtedly flee, which will be a big blow to Britannia.

Before productivity reaches a certain level, market vitality is an important basis for competition with other countries.

He collected the power, land, and important national resource factories in the hands of the nobles, and took them into national ownership, opening up a system for the country with public ownership as the main body and multiple ownership economies developing together.

The biggest reform in Mordred is the land reform. The legislation distinguishes between construction land and agricultural land, and the agricultural land is nationalized and distributed equally to farmers without land. Unauthorized construction is not allowed, and part of the construction land is also collected. It is state-owned, allowing most farmers to own land to build houses.

As for the problem of domestic slums, it began to be solved during Arthur's time. In the past, slums were formed for many reasons.

Part of the reason is that the wages are too low, making people linger on the food and clothing line and unable to leave savings, so Arthur promulgated the labor law to protect the rights and interests of workers.

At the same time, part of the reason is also due to the loss of physical strength after old age and the inability to work, and some people who lost their jobs due to illness.

So Arthur promulgated the pension system and medical insurance system, and at the same time regulated production safety.

Secondly, it is the reason of group quality, and this part is handed over to Mordred to solve.

The first thing to do is to dismantle the slums, so that these groups of people can no longer pile up on each other and affect each other.

He built or used some aristocratic real estate to build public rental housing in various places in the imperial capital. The state provides policy support, limits construction standards and rent levels, and is aimed at families with housing difficulties and newcomers who meet the specified conditions. Indemnificatory housing for rented workers without housing and migrant workers who are stably employed in cities and towns.

Let them get rid of the bad environment there. At the same time, because of the splitting of the fields, some people in the imperial capital chose to return to the countryside to work in agriculture, so that the imperial capital obtained a relatively less introverted working environment.

However, with the progress of the industrial revolution, the air in the imperial capital is getting worse day by day, especially after it has just rained.

Xia Ya felt that there might be some kerosene in the rainwater, and there was a strong smell of kerosene in the air, Xia Ya felt sticky when walking on the stone brick path.

The dense fog enveloped the city, leaving aside the smoky soot contained in the air, this is indeed a poetic scene.

Even some of the carriages are surrounded by a halo of light, reminiscent of what is happening, as if in the frame of an ink painting that is about to disappear.

The whole city is looming in the mist, and because of the increasingly serious environment, although the citizens of the imperial capital have gradually gotten used to the city, many rich people still choose to go to the countryside to breathe fresh air.

For the poor people trapped in the city, this endless gloomy environment is obviously very depressing, especially in winter.

But all this is bearable, for rich and poor alike.

Because despite the bleakness here, it's also a symbol of wealth.

In the imperial capital, there is even a saying.

"As long as there's smoke, there's money."

But it is undeniable that urban pollution has also threatened the health of many people living in the imperial capital.

Mordred knows the reason why the imperial capital has become like this, but it is impossible to transfer the factory to the countryside. Considerations such as transportation and employment population cannot be given by the countryside, so this is his next challenge.

Alicia frowned slightly and covered her nose, "How did the capital become like this?"

"The development of the times is inevitable." Xia Ya said, "Beichen is also like this, but the urban construction of Beichen is more reasonable, unlike the imperial capital, which is full of tall and narrow houses, forming a canyon structure that absorbs all the clouds and mist. It's all locked."

"Otherwise, let's go to Saxili." Xia Ya said, "The food there is also cleaner."

Alicia nodded and said, they turned around and prepared to go back to Sacily.

But then, they seemed to have discovered something, Qiqi turned their heads.

The misty imperial capital was shrouded in a huge black curtain, which seemed to be made of silk, very smooth.

These curtains fell slowly, covering the buildings, and swaying with the wind, the whole city fell into a strange black silence, bringing a sense of oppression even more depressing than the thick fog.

However, the people who came and went around seemed to have not noticed it at all.

Shaar slowly approached the curtain. On the curtain, there was a sign with a dragon crouching on a letter x.

The dragon is the hallmark of Grindelwald's spellcasting implement.

"What's this?" Alicia said.

"Gayward, he is calling his disciples." Shaar murmured softly.

"So high-profile?" Alicia was a little surprised, "Isn't he afraid of the Magic Association?"

"This shows that he has found confidence."

Xia looked at Alicia, "Maybe we can find a few more people to help prepare the dinner."

Alicia nodded, "Go and have a look." (End of this chapter)
