The witch thought I am a Demon God

Black Wolf, Old Witch, Griffin Knight and Ivita rode in two carriages and headed to the city [Palvega].

A carriage held Ivita and the people beside him, and a carriage contained a cargo of cast iron ingots, as well as 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. They all couldn't help but say that the city seemed to be more free than the manor.

Ivita couldn't deny it.

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

Today's urban capital is actually more like urban aristocracy.

From Ivita's point of view, feudal lords bound serfs to their personal attachments, but now Ambrose's guild system also bound apprentices and craftsmen.

Both parties are physically bound.

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

However, the guild requires the apprentices to work for the master for free for two years, and then work for the master for about five years at low wages, and even after leaving the apprenticeship, the apprentice will still be exploited by the guild.

However, in this process, the masters and guilds may not even teach you the real techniques.

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

There are many such apprentices, and they are all victims of the guild system.

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

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

Moreover, he also told the old blacksmiths that the demand for production will only increase in the future. If he does not want to hinder the development of the territory, he should let the apprentices learn something.

Don't wait until then. If you try to teach temporarily, it will be too late.

He adopted a quota system for the iron foundry, which meant that a blacksmith had to smelt a certain amount of cast iron every month.

The advantage of this is that sometimes the master blacksmith is unable to work due to special reasons, so he must let the apprentices take over for him. In this way, the master blacksmith has to teach the apprentices some real skills.

In the carriage, Iveta twirled the ring of desire on her little finger and chuckled: "Everyone, this is why I choose the quota system. Because I believe in people's evil more than people's moral conscience."

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

Black Wolf and Griffin Knight nodded repeatedly.

Yes, instead of expecting the old blacksmiths to actually hand over their skills obediently, it would be better to formulate a system that forces them to hand over their skills.

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

This made the old witch even more scared. Fortunately, she thought she was very close to Ambrose, as long as she found her beloved disciple...

Let her be his scapegoat, and I believe she will be able to leave the devil 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 has the same point of view as you. You believe that you must believe in the evil of human nature. Only in this way can you protect the republic. , we must use institutions and civic education to protect the spirit of the republic.”

"But another republic [Frocana] organized by handicraft guilds believed that human virtue should be used to maintain the spirit of the republic."

"The conflict of ideas between the two republics even exceeds the dispute of doctrine. 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."

Ivita smiled.

Indeed, when two people are quarreling, if you go in to break up the fight, you are likely to be beaten violently by both parties at the same time.

Ivita wondered about the two republics. “Can citizens of both republics participate in politics?”

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

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

"The Noble Merchant Republic and Flocana are both millennium republics. However, in the former, only great business aristocrats and life-long parliamentary aristocrats can participate in politics, while in the latter, only guild leaders and big businessmen can participate in politics."

Ivita nodded.

So that's it, then he understands.

This world does not yet have the kind of modern republic on earth where everyone is equal, everyone is a citizen, and there is no privileged class under the law.

The republics in the southern peninsula, as well as the city council of Ambrose, were traditional republics.

It is an oligarchic republic with an aristocracy, or even a monarch, with privileged classes and legal privileges.

On earth, the French Revolution launched by Napoleon was the fate of not only the monarchy but also the traditional oligarchic republics.

"It may take about two days to reach the destination. Let me first take a look at the magic book you prepared for me." Ivita opened her hand and saw that the old witch had given her the magic book written by herself.

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

Fire Guiding Spell,

spark spell,

flying stone curse,

Throwing spell.

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

"These are all 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 Guidance Spell, she suddenly stopped. These two magics have their own flame arrays and specific magic medium materials.

Ivita stared at the flame array diagram in the magic book, and his eyes narrowed for a moment.

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

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

The magic spell is merging in his eyes!

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

The power that La La brings to him seems to allow him to fuse two similar fire magics.

Moreover, it seems that this is not the limit, and it seems that it can continue to be integrated with other fire magic.

Inside the carriage, the temperature suddenly rose, and Black Wolf kept wiping his sweat.

At this time, the carriage of Ivita's team was about to cross a stream. The hub of the wheel came into contact with the water in the stream, causing part of the water to begin to boil.

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

"Don't you guys feel the heat?" Hei Lang became depressed, he was almost cooked.

"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 mistaken the situation. She did not notice that the two magics were merging in Ivita's eyes. She said: "Your Majesty, you really have a unique feeling for fire magic."

"Almost as soon as you came into contact, the magic began to undergo abnormal changes. It's no wonder that one of the origins of the flame black magic has a deep relationship with the eldest princess of Alsace."

“You are repeating the path trodden by your body’s ancestors.”

"That's the fun thing about magic."

Please follow up, these two days are the most critical moments, everyone must follow up.
