Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 14 Scientific and Technological Progress and Cultural Progress

'Due to a powerful magical ritual infusion, your body has changed!'

'Under the flood of magic, your body has grown and transformed, and you have gained some special abilities!'

'You have gained personal characteristics: Arcane Body, Eye of Ritual, Will of Intimidation'

'Arcane Body: An unimaginable torrent of magic rushes through your body. Even if it is just a rush, it will still make your body a strong body that is adapted to all magical winds.

Constitution +3, can master all winds of magic at the same time.'

'Eye of Ritual: You once presided over a great spell that affected the entire world. The power and consequences of this spell were so terrifying that they left a deep mark in your eyes. Anyone who looked at you would see a corner of that horrific ritual.

Shock +20'

'Intimidating Will: You use your will to make the world bow down, whether it is human or magical. So in communication, even without such thoughts, your will is full of majesty.

+10 Charm in communication

'World Record: Because of Stonehenge, you performed a rare magic ritual that transformed the chaotic magic wasteland within a radius of 100 miles into a land full of elements that can be lived in and survived. This is a world-class change.'

'World feedback: Because of the unfamiliarity and weirdness of your operation, all intelligent races in the world believe that this is a natural phenomenon, not secretly induced by someone. You have not received any legendary blessing.'

"Bullshit, I'm just going back to basics! What's strange and weird?"

Looking at the message on his system, Li Ang cursed angrily, then looked at the man in front of him who was somewhat confused and shouted:
"Hey! Oliver! What do you think of my magic? I have done such a great cause. I have given the world hope and dreams. No one can do this kind of operation. How come some people still think this is a natural phenomenon?!"

"That must mean everyone believes that no intelligent creature can guide such a terrible celestial phenomenon."

"That's bullshit. I'm not a human? Apart from my special qualities, I'm just an ordinary person."

"..."

Oliver, a former monastery knight who is now a kingdom knight who is overwhelmed by the Holy Grail's call, opened his mouth when he saw the man in front of him whose eyes were literally glowing.

He wanted to ask him to look in the mirror and see how he looked like a human. But as a qualified knight of the kingdom, he wisely kept his mouth shut. He let his master, whose greatness was not only shining in his eyes but also in his body, speak freely.

The power of the wonder is terrifying. After guiding the huge ritual, Leon also ushered in his own changes.

The changes brought about by the Arcane Body and the Eye of Ritual were that his skin began to turn a little pale, and his eyes began to emit some brilliant white light. It was impossible for any intelligent life to not have changes when guiding such a huge ritual.

So when it comes to Leon's existence, Oliver really feels the immense and infinite power.

But he was also puzzled.

The main confusion is not that Li Ang was magnanimous and spared him, but that after Li Ang spared him, the orders and identity he gave him were really confusing.

"My Lord, may I ask why I am the Director of Culture, and Mr. Ulfric is the Director of Research?"

“…Because there is no one.”

Looking at the scene outside the window where the Stonehenge absorbed a huge amount of magic from the Chaos Wasteland and continuously poured it back into the Ancient Saint's Testing Grounds, Leon looked calmly at the knight in front of him and gave the answer.

"Because there is really no one who can be used, my knight. Among the more than 200 people who have landed now, you have the highest cultural attainments. Because you once worked in a monastery, responsible for rituals and missionary work. The best of the rest is just a female leader of the choir, and because of your church, she can't do anything." "I am ashamed, my lord... But in this case, Mr. Wulfric should not be made the director of scientific research. I believe I can do a better job in this regard."

"You are not qualified. I took a look and found that you are not as intelligent as Ulfric. It is more reliable to let him do scientific research."

Leon sighed with a sad face, waved at Oliver, and threw the holy grail in his hand, which exuded an emerald green aura, to him.

"Take the Holy Grail, and use it to conceive of a specialized cultural component for this city. I believe you can do it with your ability. But I really don't know if Ulfric can come up with a wheel..."

"...?"

Letting a Norse barbarian do scientific research? Am I really just dreaming?

Oliver left with a confused look on his face, full of questions in his head. Leon also sat in a chair, staring at the slowly growing scientific research and cultural progress in a daze.

Li Ang had some nice ideas about the two aspects of science and culture at the beginning.

Isn't it just scientific research points and cultural points? Just add them.

With the invincible wonders of the universe, what can’t be added?
In a few days, the first step of the wonder will be unlocked, and everything will be fine just by stacking the numbers.

Then he found out he was wrong.

Or rather, a small part of it is wrong.

Scientific and cultural progress can certainly be rapid, but humans are not systems. Humans themselves need time to learn and transform.

For existing knowledge and related props, it is easy to reinvent the required research points and cultural points. However, for those things that are unknown, it is extremely difficult to invent them.

For example, if we want to compile Norse entertainment programs from scratch without involving the southerners, it is a very difficult thing to say that there is a punishment mechanism.

If there were normal literary masters and scientific research supervisors, there would be no problem with the help of the wonders of the planet.

But here comes the second problem.

Among all of Leon's teams, the one with the highest scientific research index is Ulfric.

Yes, that barbarian, the barbarian who only knows how to chop with a knife, Ulfric, is now his head of scientific research.

God knows how desperate Ulfric's expression was when he looked at the paper full of words and the heavy responsibility of being the head of scientific research, but Leon was more desperate than him.

Fortunately, if the stats are not enough, points can be used to make up for it. With the bonus of wonders, although they are standard illiterates, Ulfric and Oliver should theoretically be able to obtain knowledge within half a week and become standard scientific research directors and cultural directors.

In theory, tomorrow we will even be able to take the first step in writing in the direction of scientific research and culture and gradually move onto the fast track.

However...things like civilization are never something that can be achieved simply by being happy in theory.

Sitting in the central room, Leon squinted his eyes in disgust as he looked at the group of strange creatures that came out from the depths of the chaotic wasteland.
