Chapter 1: In the Dark Night
Chapter 1: In the Dark Night
No one can stop the pace of development, and the truth is far away from us in the light. If you want to pass, you must have the consciousness to subvert everything.
——Great Sage Hledel
"This is the worst of times.
The society is extremely dark, and everyone is assigned ranks from birth. If you are born into a noble family, then you will have endless wealth, lofty status, and powerful power.And if you were born in a civilian family, then you will be trapped in a square inch for the rest of your life.No effort is needed, because effort is useless.
The innate gap determines everything. From the moment a person is born, his future is already doomed.Doomed to be brilliant, or doomed to be bleak.
But plainness is not something a commoner can have. A peaceful and ordinary life is a distant dream for most people.Since magic is completely in the hands of nobles, nobles with absolute power can live their luxurious lives with peace of mind.At that time, the statutory tax of the Principality of Colt was three out of ten taxes, but after being exploited by the local lords and nobles, the farmers actually paid [-]% to [-]% of the harvest of the year.
Even in a good harvest year, there will always be people who starve to death; if it is a famine year, it will be even more starving to death.Ordinary commoner girls didn't even dare to go out of the house. Once they were spotted by passing nobles, their fate would be to be taken back by force and become bed-warming slaves.
The nobles of the dark night age believe that magic is passed down from generation to generation through blood, and noble blood can cast more powerful magicians.Therefore, intermarriage between nobles and commoners is not allowed.If those civilian girls who were robbed by the nobles were pregnant, the better ones would be released, and a large part of them were either forced to abort or were executed together with their pregnant mothers.
The nobles don't treat civilians as human beings, they can catch an ordinary passer-by on the road and whip them at will, and the reason is just because the nobleman is in a bad mood, or something more absurd, for example—that The footsteps of people walking are too loud.
It was a time that none of us can imagine now.
But in the depths of the deepest darkness, there is light.
The great sage Hledel, also known as "the pioneer of the dawn" and "the last great sage in the dark night", his appearance has changed the extremely corrupt and unfair society.He founded the magic system we are learning now, and with his genius and amazing talent, he wades out a path that no one has ever traveled before in the dark. Even today, 3000 years later, it is difficult for us There was a breakthrough among his genius creations.
And this is where his greatness lies. After his transformation, magic is no longer firmly in the hands of the nobles, and the so-called lack of qualifications of the nobles in the dark night era has been broken.Maybe commoners are indeed mediocre, or even extremely low in aptitude, but the new practice system allows anyone who is innately able to attract magic elements to learn and achieve something.
When the magic that can destroy a city with a forbidden spell is not only enjoyed by nobles alone, the resistance begins vigorously...
Your Excellency Hleder is the pioneer of the Age of Dawn and one of the most respected powerhouses in later generations.Even now that human beings have stepped out of their mother planet and entered the interstellar era, the spirit and brilliance of Your Excellency Hereder will always be with us..."
On the podium, the history teacher didn't look at the lesson plans and courseware projections, and gave an impassioned speech on the podium alone. Apart from how dark the dark night era was, the content was more about the great sage Heredel.
And the other students around him also stared at their history teacher with bright eyes, wishing not to miss a word.
Offield was sure that the history teacher was his fan.
He also wanted to know very much, could it be that in these 3000 years, a cult organization with his surname as its Christian name was born?
Orfield Hledel, "the last great sage in the dark night" and "the pioneer of the dawn", he did not expect that 3000 years later, his name would keep fading in history, but these titles of secondary schools have been handed down down.
Simply incredible.
Oldfield raised his forehead and thought about the question that he had been thinking about in the past two years since he opened his eyes again - why, after his untimely death, he would travel to the world 3000 years later.
And the world is so magical.
After experiencing the decay of the Dark Night Age and the chaotic 50 years of turmoil, the advent of the Dawn Age brought society once again into a stage of rapid development.
Electricity was discovered 500 years ago and was soon widely used. 200 years later, atomic energy and light energy became the mainstream energy sources. Apart from magic, "technology" also began to develop gradually.In the ensuing 1000 years, in addition to the reform of energy, magic finally began to integrate with technology. The technological products in daily life could no longer meet people's needs, and magic products began to become popular.
Magic vehicles, magic weapons, etc. driven by magic power and energy have begun to be researched and put into use, and people have finally passed the further transformation of magic spaceships and started to move towards cosmic civilization.The mother star named after the goddess of magic, Elune, is no longer the only home of human beings. The entire Silver Wing Galaxy has become the scope of human free activities, and this scope is still expanding.
When Oldfield woke up from the hospital two years ago, he was shocked by the novel world before him for a long time.
The original body he possessed was named Orfield Chris, who was just an orphan who died in a car accident when he was ten years old during a group trip to the orphanage.And Oldfield also used his body to wake up again, and once again started his own life.
For two years, Oldfield has been tutoring all kinds of life in modern society, so that he neglects to communicate with people, and he is so taciturn that the children in the orphanage think he has injured his brain in a car accident.
Facts have proved that Orfield did not, and he was admitted to the best magic academy in T-1 star - Star Academy with No.
Except - history.
Oldfield didn't want to admit that, with his extremely strong mental strength and his experience of countless storms, his hands trembled a little when faced with a topic like "The title of His Excellency the Great Sage Herrader" on the history test paper.
But the fact is, if he doesn't endure the intense discomfort and embarrassment to list his series of titles on the test paper, then he will miss the opportunity to go to the main planet Alune for further studies.
What else can I do?Of course I forgive the history teacher!Offield silently recited MMP in his heart, but still had a calm smile on his face.
