Ajin's Infinite World Raiders

They live longer and are stronger than ordinary people, but their reproduction is also more difficult.

And wars must be accompanied by sacrifices. The continuous wars have caused the Dúnedain people to die continuously, but there is little new blood, and their population is naturally getting smaller and smaller.

Later, some Dúnedain people could not even find a suitable marriage partner of the same race, and had to find ordinary people to intermarry, or simply died out.

As a result, on the one hand, the Dúnedain became less and less, and on the other hand, their bloodlines were adulterated, and the natural sanctity of the so-called higher humans became more and more weakened. Coupled with the continuous war and the heavy taxation that followed, the The common people were miserable and complaining, and the rule of the three kingdoms gradually became crumbling.

In fact, with the popularization of the way of the magic knight, by this time, the concept of superiority and inferiority based on the achievement of magic (cultivation) rather than bloodline has begun to rise in the north, and the practice of magic (cultivation) has been successful and the life expectancy has been extremely long. The large-scale magic knights gradually became the new "higher humans".

Especially those high-level knights who have completed the golden core and have an [-]-year lifespan, they are regarded as people of the highest order, and they are more noble than the former kings of the Dunedin people.

This also forced many far-sighted Dunedain people to give up their pride and stubbornness, and began to learn the way of magic knights, and took the initiative to join themselves in this emerging high class.

Among them, the Arcedan royal family is the most radical. Not only did the king himself become a magic knight, but he also required his descendants to learn the way of magic knights from an early age, making it a new tradition for the royal family.

This practice did consolidate the rule of the Dúnedain to a certain extent, but it also meant that their legal system of ruling the kingdom gradually changed from a noble Numenorean blood to a cultivator of the magic knighthood. for.

The three northern kingdoms are subtly becoming a veritable "country of magic knights"!

As the founder of the magic knight's way, the immortal and immortal Ms. Denise's status is also getting higher and higher in this change, and her influence is getting bigger and bigger, and it is only a few minutes away from the real "Knight King". Step away.

……

After talking about the North, let's talk about Gondor in the South.

Compared with the three northern kingdoms, which have not been unified since they were divided into three, and have become increasingly divided and weakened, Gondor has remained unified and strong.

Especially with the help of the High Tower School, no foreign enemy can threaten Gondor.

No, it's not just foreign enemies, but also internal changes.

In the original plot, in the first half of the fifteenth century of the Third Age, when Eldaka, the twenty-first king of Gondor, came to the throne, because of his impure blood (his mother was a princess of the Rovanian kingdom). , without Númenor blood), many princes and nobles refused to obey his rule, set off a rebellion, and ousted him from the throne for ten years, until the "usurper" who later ascended the throne did the opposite, arousing public anger , was retaken the throne.

This series of incidents and wars is known as the "War of Kinship", which is regarded as the first of the three major disasters that weakened Gondor (the latter two are the Great Plague and the Invasion of the Chariot People), and the losses caused by it Even by the end of the Third Era, it had not recovered.

However, in this world, although Eldaka's bloodline is also mixed with the blood of ordinary people, it has indeed aroused the dissatisfaction of many Númenor nobles, but the Tower School, another major force in the kingdom besides the nobles, has Unequivocally support the king.

In particular, as the head of the school, James, who maintained a good relationship with the previous kings of Gondor, was quite disgusted with the attitude of those princes and nobles who valued pure blood above everything else, so he bluntly stated his attitude and supported El. Dhaka's succession.

With this big brother's signal, the disciples and grandchildren in the school naturally know what to do.

So, the rebellion has just happened, and it was suppressed by the magicians who had the most powerful force in less than a week.

The "usurper" who was supposed to usurp the throne and had been king for ten years was even killed by the magician who participated in the war head-on on the battlefield. Many children were also captured, imprisoned in Osgilias, and could not be released for the rest of their lives. .

The brutal war that originally caused Gondor to permanently lose the southern port of Umbar, the loss of a large number of people, the fall of the royal city, and the loss of the Osgilias spar, was forced to end just after the beginning.

Eldaka, on the other hand, with the support of the magicians, sat firmly on the throne and gradually brought the kingdom into full control.

But after this rebellion, King Eldaka truly realized the power of magicians and the importance of keeping magic in his own hands.

——If the magician is not supporting himself this time, but a rebellious noble, can he still sit on the throne?

Obviously not!

The royal family needs its own magic power - not the fringe royal family members without inheritance rights, but the main body of the royal family with the king as the core!

As a result, Eldaka completely released the Gondor royal family's restrictions on magic practice, and all members of the royal family could decide whether to practice magic at their own will, without affecting their right to inherit the throne.

Even he himself began to practice magic - after all, as an impure bloodline, his lifespan is theoretically shorter than that of ordinary Numenoreans, and magic practice is one that can make up for his shortcoming. The best way!

As an emperor, who would think that he lived too long?

Obviously, with this series of changes, the influence and discourse power of the magicians in Gondor has once again expanded.

Later, almost every member of the royal family of Gondor and nobles practiced magic more or less - the physique and wisdom of high human beings, so that as long as they are willing to practice, they can basically complete the foundation and become a person who can release rune spells. the official sorcerer.

Since then, the group of magicians has truly merged with the ruling class of Gondor, and it is no longer difficult to separate!

There are only two updates today...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When the entire ruling class of Gondor became wizards, the impact of magic on Gondor society became more pronounced.

The presence of magicians in the army has become the norm, and even many barracks and fortresses are built around the magician tower of a powerful magician.

There are also more spellcasters in the folk, and many talents from the High Tower School, with the tacit approval of James, have created new branches of the school.

Some of these commoner-born magicians believe that magic should not only be mastered by a few people, so they are committed to popularizing magic to the common people, and various basic knowledge about rune cultivation has gradually spread in Gondor society. .

They have even improved many magical items so that ordinary people without mana can use them. Many magical creations that should only be used by magicians have begun to be controlled by ordinary people, and the prototype of magic technology has begun to emerge. .

With the increase in demand for various magic items, the related magic industry has gradually prospered, and the bud of the Industrial Revolution began to rise in Gondor.

Military, communication, transportation, production, medical treatment... The power of magic has penetrated into all fields of social development, and Gondor has gradually taken on the appearance of a "magical civilization".

It is precisely because of the increasingly prosperous magical civilization that the great plague that occurred in the seventeenth century of the Third Era did not have much impact on the Kingdom of Gondor.

The so-called "Great Plague" refers to the original plot, which originated from Dongyi, spread to Rovanian Kingdom with the black wind, and then Rovanian spread to Gondor, and then spread west to north. A terrible plague in the three northern kingdoms.

In the original trajectory of fate, this plague caused the Western countries to lose nearly half of their population, greatly weakening the power of human beings, especially the small number of Dunedain people, which withered again after this plague , Many families completely cut off their blood, and even the reigning King of Gondor and his descendants all died of the disease.

This also caused the power of the good and evil sides in Middle-earth to become unbalanced again, and the evil power began to rise, paving the way for the re-rise of Sauron.

But in this world, when the plague first spread from the Dongyi to the Rovanian kingdom, it did indeed deal a considerable blow to this relatively backward country.

However, because of the good relationship between Rovanian and Gondor, the former quickly asked the latter for help, and Gondor also sent a magician specializing in medical diseases to help in a timely manner.
