Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

"What's wrong, you two..." Kazama asked them with a smile.

Now that he is ready to integrate into this world with human principles, Kazama is naturally not stingy about promoting and using talents among the indigenous people.

Especially Ymir, this young woman about the same age as Kazama is one of the few original slaves of Xian who can read and write.

"Master Kazama..."

Ymir nodded slightly towards Kazama, but there was a bit of worry on his face.

Kazama saw something.

"Are you worried about those nobles?"

Xi'an's old nobles can no longer make any trouble. It should be said that Ymir or many other slaves are worried about the Bloodstone City and the Blackstone City.

As Kazama said openly before, after knowing what happened in Xi'an, there is a high probability that Bloodstone City and Blackstone City will send troops.

The strength of the three city-states is very different, but the combined strength of any two of them will far exceed that of the remaining city-state.

Most of Ymir's previous pessimism came from this.

Chapter 91 The Apostles

"No need to worry..." Kazama said softly.

Ymir is a more conservative person, and Kazama has already realized this.

Perhaps, in her opinion, it is an excellent result to be able to stabilize the current new order in the city-state of Xi'an.

However, Fengjian's vision will never be limited to this city-state.

Slaver's Bay is a very good location. It is close to the ocean and has a natural high-quality port. The west side is long and narrow and can be used as a gateway.If you advance, you can enter the mainland from the west, and if you retreat, you can stably farm and develop in this area.

Of course, the premise is to bring all this area under your own rule.

"I don't like the name Slaver's Bay. Except for the nobles of the Three Stone City, I believe no one will like this name."

"Your worries are not unfounded. With the new order in Xi'an, the other two city-states will become enemies that can never be reconciled."

"It's just that I'm not afraid..."

Regarding Xi'an's strategy, the United Roman legions did not suffer much losses and still retained their legion-level organization.

Kazama also liberated the Unsullied who were captured before and incorporated them into the military system.Excluding the Unsullied who were killed and injured in the previous battle, the Unsullied Corps still maintains a size of 700 people. Together with the combined Roman legions, Kazama now has more armed forces than before the war started.

This kind of power is enough to crush any city-state in the Three-Stone City. Even the two-city alliance has the power to fight.

"In a short period of time, at least within the next three months, there will be no action in Bloodstone City and Blackstone City."

Ancient wars paid attention to the timing. Generally, farming civilizations started wars during the period after agricultural production was completed.

Spring plowing had just begun, and even if the upper echelons of those two city-states knew nothing about military matters, they would not be able to mobilize the army at this time.

Three months is not a long time, but it is enough for Kazama.

As the representative of human principles in this different world, Kazama can feel the brilliance of human principles shining through every moment.This expansion of human nature is something that could never be matched by previous developments in forbidden lands.

The system has not yet recognized Xi'an as a unit and territory under Fengjian, but Fengjian has a very clear understanding that this city has been included in human affairs very quickly.After completing household registration and organizing agricultural production, Xi'an will be completely included in human affairs.

This surging brilliance is enough to greatly increase the strength of the summoned heroic spirits under Kazama's command, and at the same time create several more summonable servant slots.

Similarly, Kazama can also use this part of the growing brilliance to recruit a group of people, or even an army, from the moon world.

All in all, after three months, the strength of Human Reason will double.At that time, it will not be a question of whether the Twin Cities want to restore order in Xi'an, but a question of whether they can protect themselves.

The young lord's words had a convincing feeling to them, and the slight worry on Ymir's face also faded away.

"In a few days, a group of people will come from Rome. You can have a good communication with them."

The situation in Xi'an has stabilized. Fengjian can transfer a group of management talents from Rome and grassroots officials to Xi'an.

The population of Xi'an exceeds [-]. After order is established, there must be a system to maintain order and operate the city-state.The cultural level of slaves is close to none and they are not suitable to be managers.

Managers, especially grassroots managers, are exactly what Kazama lacks.

Establishing schools to cultivate talents is a fundamental solution to the problem, but it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Kazama can still recruit people. When the time comes, some people with management skills and good education can unite with the people of the Roman Empire to solve the urgent need.

Moreover, there are thousands of former free citizens in Xi'an who are not nobles. Although they are still beneficiaries of the old order, under the new order, their interests are far less influential than those of the nobles.They generally have a certain level of education, so you can consider selecting talents from this group of people.

Ymir nodded seriously. She knew Kazama's intentions and could feel Kazama's favor.This made her feel honored but also a little nervous.

"I will work hard."

In fact, Ymir has already started learning Roman language.

Fengjian nodded slightly.

Selecting talents and promoting talents and making the best use of everything is Fengjian's idea.As long as they are talented people, regardless of their background, Kazama will consider them.

Moreover, in order to truly integrate into this different world, it is also necessary to absorb indigenous talents.

Ymir and Gurnis, the siblings, are the breakers of the old order. While they have talents, they are also very representative. Kazama really values ​​them.

Kazama looked at Genis again.

Ymir will be incorporated into the management system, while Gnis will enter the military system.

Xi'an's original Unsullied Legion is undergoing military reform, and its current commander is Spartacus.Spartacus was born a slave in the history of pan-humanity, so this legion was just right for him.

.......

As Ymir and Genis left, their servants tidied up the main hall, and Kazama came to the apse. This was the place where the former Lord of Xi'an City rested. In addition to the bedroom, there were also living rooms, study rooms, and many more. function.

Hohenheim is waiting for Kazama here.

Now there are three servants stationed in Xi'an, Hohenheim and Spartacus, as well as Bai Mian's true form.Avesbronn and Arash were located in Rome.

Hohenheim is basically soaking in Xi'an's library these days.Some information cannot be collected by Bai Mao.

Hohenheim was stationed in Xi'an not only to stabilize the order here, but also to conduct investigations.

The former city lord Raph gained power and turned into a terrifying monster, as well as the scene Kazama saw through revelation, which proves that there is some kind of secret in this different world.And exploring mysteries is exactly what a magician does.

"Good evening, Kazama-sama."

After some brief greetings, Hohenheim got down to business.

"The first is the aboriginal magician we captured, the magician named Osido."

"Master Avisbronn has extracted from his mind what he understands to be the magic of this world."

"The magic of this world is closer to the magic of our world. It does not require a specific foundation, as long as it can communicate with the great source, it can be used."

"The magic sect of Osido is close to the original shaman and voodoo magic, but it is simpler. This may be related to the relatively small school he inherited."

"As for the mutation of the former Lord of Xian City...if we look at it from the perspective of the mysterious knowledge Osido possesses, they become 'apostles' to this kind of monster."

Chapter 92 Demon

In addition to magic, magic, and warrior baptism, the extraordinary power of this world also has a concrete extraordinary phenomenon - the apostle.

No one knows how the apostles appeared and came into being, but what is certain is that the apostles were originally humans. After experiencing some kind of mutation, they gained powers beyond the ordinary and turned into monsters.

"Osido's knowledge about apostles is very little. Osido has never met an apostle. He has only seen records of apostles in the magic school to which he belongs."

"And the content of the record is actually a warning, warning the apprentices of the dangers of the apostles. Mortals will never be able to defeat them. If they encounter them, they should find a way to escape."

Hohenheim said slowly.

The idea of ​​obtaining accurate information about the abnormality in Laf from the indigenous people fell through.

"Then there is the study of this old city lord by Master Avisbron and I."

Raph was killed directly by Spartacus, leaving his body behind.It's just that the body decomposed extremely quickly.

Within three days, the skin and flesh had completely decayed, and after another two days, the skeleton had also turned into powder.

"We concluded...that Raph was in a demonic state."

demon...

Fengjian paused slightly when he heard Hohenheim mention a word he was familiar with.

The concept of "demons" in the world of Xingyue has always been a big pitfall. It is a real existence that often makes cameos and exists in the background, but the official has never given a specific explanation.

Seeing the look Kazama gave him, Hohenheim also explained what he understood as a 'demon'.

"Honestly, I don't know much about demons. The church that has the most information about demons is the Holy Church."

Although the Holy Church and the Magic Association have a mutually hostile relationship, for the church, the real enemy is only the 'devil', and magicians can only be regarded as heretics who blaspheme the glory of the Lord.

"Devil is a conceptual word, and its scope is very broad."

"The fantasy demon that is said to be the sixth imaginary element is a demon generated by human thoughts and a lot of negative energy."

"In fact, most of the demons targeted by the Holy Church's exorcisms are such demons with imaginary attributes."

"In the magic world, there is a school of black magic that specializes in studying demons, and its magic system is also related to such demons."

"The other theory is the element of the Sixth True Theory - the devil."

"The core logic of the world is duality. Positive and negative, cold and hot, light and dark."

"The Lord worshiped by the Holy Church is regarded as an omnipotent and omniscient God. If such a God really exists, then there must be a corresponding devil who is omnipotent and ignorant. .”

"Such demons are called 'true devils', and true devils are the real enemies of the Templar Church."

In the world view of Xingyue, the 'true devil' has two parallels. One is the magic sword mastered by the Black Knight, the ancestor of the Dead Apostles.The other is Kiara of Sesshōin in the ccc world.

After devouring MC, the demonic Bodhisattva once completed the transformation of a true demon and reached a realm beyond all true demons. Conceptually, he was on the same level as Yage, but he eventually fell from this realm for some reason. .

"Devils with the elements of the Sixth True Theory are taboo even in the magic world where there are no taboos. The Magic Association's attitude and stance towards true demons is consistent with the Holy Church. Once someone is found to have come into contact with this field, agents will be sent to clean it up."

"Contacting the true devil with a human body will only have two results. One is that you will be unable to withstand the power of the true devil during the process of taking the flesh, and die in great distortion and pain."

"The other is when the karma one carries is in harmony with the true devil, completing a certain step of transformation into the true devil, thus becoming a demon."

"And then there's the third concept of the devil...."

At this point, Hohenheim closed his mouth.

"I'm sorry, Master Kazama. This third concept of demons is very dangerous. If true demons are taboo, then this type of demon is a taboo of taboos."

"Only a very small amount of information is preserved in the Clock Tower Heritage Section. Those information are things that King Solomon would not dare to touch. Even just knowing about it is accompanied by huge risks."

Unlike the calm and relaxed manner when mentioning the first two demons, Hohenheim's expression became extremely serious when mentioning the third demon.

Kazama roughly guessed what the third kind of demon was.

That is indeed a very dangerous existence.

That was the thing that almost destroyed Chaldea in a real sense.

At the same time, it is also the plan with the highest success rate in the strict sense among the Demon God Pillar's plan to destroy human nature.

"I think the mutation in the Lord of Laf City shouldn't be of the third type," Kazama said.

If it was really the third type, Kazama would no longer consider farming and would have to immediately find a way to escape and leave this world.

"Of course not..." Hohenheim shook his head.

The changes in the former city lord of Xi'an have characteristics similar to those of a true demon's body. "

“The most obvious thing is the pathologicalization of the body at the biological level.”

Raph's weight and size increased to more than ten times his original size, and even the structure of his body underwent dramatic changes at the genetic level.

"Then, his spirit body disappeared. As his physical body disappeared, his soul also ceased to exist."

Hohenheim has a deep research on the sixth element such as spirit and soul, and he can also use the methods of the Clock Tower Spiritual Science.

For magicians, there are two types of death, physical death and spiritual death.Even if the physical body dies, the spiritual body will remain and can be descended.

"The soul of a person who has been possessed by a true demon will be swallowed up by 'karma' at the moment of receiving the body. Therefore, when dealing with people who have been possessed by a demon of flesh, the baptismal chant of the Holy Church often directly purifies them from the inside out. .”

"The seance magic didn't work, so I used some small prophecy magic."

For example, the scene of what happened in a certain range in the past can be visualized in a short period of time.

After Rafe escaped back to Xi'an, his movement trajectory was fixed, almost shrinking into the city lord's palace.

Kazama had received a revelation outside the city before and was able to determine the approximate time.
