The Spirit World

Chapter 540 End of Coverthesky
"Have you heard? The Principality is sending envoys to negotiate with the Empire in the hope of preventing the outbreak of this war." Erica sat on a chair, with a purple high-level magic circle spinning on the open magic book. She glanced at Chang Yufeng who was reading the magic book next to her, looked at the ring on his ring finger with a rather sad expression and said, "They will hold a large magic conference and select a group of powerful guards to protect the negotiating envoys."

"Do you want to go?" Chang Yufeng closed the magic book, supported his head with the back of his fingers, and glanced at Erica lazily. The shining ring was right on his face. The ring had a diamond as the core and was surrounded by three tiny empty slots.

"This competition will be played very quickly. It is different from all the competitions I have participated in before. I heard that there are no rules. As long as you don't use magic above the seventh level, there are no restrictions. [Psychics] can also participate. Not to mention the knights and swordsmen, who will be injured at the least and die at the worst." Erica hissed and touched her right cheek inadvertently: "I heard that many people are discouraged by the rules. Those who stay are basically great magicians and high-level paladins, great swordsmen! I can't do it, I'm so scared."

"Then what do you want to say?" Chang Yufeng put the book on his thighs, his slender body leaning against the sofa, his black pupils were lazy and evil at the moment.

This was unlike him in the past; his dignified laziness and interested demeanor made him seem even more elusive.

"I mean, the Carolingian family is going to do logistics, so we can watch the gods fight up close." Erica simply closed the book, turned to Chang Yufeng, touched her chin, and looked at the ring, thinking: "Who did brother marry? I'm curious, you never go out, where did you get married?"

Erica leaned back with a hiss and looked at Chang Yufeng in shock: "Hiss, brother, you are not being kept by some rich woman, are you? Hey, Fran's little wives are playing around a lot."

"Hahaha, Ruirui, you have a very rich imagination." Chang Yufeng took off the ring and handed it to Erica for observation.

"This ring is called [Heart of the Mountains] and it was given to me by a friend of mine. You would never imagine that, with the help of this ring, I can use magic now~" Chang Yufeng's snow-white hands opened into claws in the air. Although there was no magical change, he looked very serious and was performing movements similar to those used to activate magic.

"Heart of the Mountains. What a strange name. You wore it on your ring finger. I thought you got married secretly behind my back. That would be a big deal. I haven't even had a chance to drink the wedding wine." Erica handed the ring back to Chang Yufeng. There was actually nothing to look at with such an important thing. The ring didn't seem to attract Erica's attention. She just took a quick look at it.

"Let me show you." Chang Yufeng put on the ring again. The light of the Heart of the Mountains flashed, and the magic fluctuations instantly vibrated, forming a ripple-like halo.

This really shocked Erica.

"If that's the case, what level would your strength be?" Erica looked at Chang Yufeng with surprise and joy as he repeated the action without the ring: "High-level magician, great magician, or? Great mage?"

"It's not that powerful." Chang Yufeng opened his palms and clenched them tightly. The black flames seemed to burn his palms, and instantly a terrifying light wave burst out. The light wave vibrated with the black flames and produced an air flow, which made the hair of the two people rise up and could not fall down for a long time.

"If possible, I hope to be a great magician. I haven't tried whether I can cast magic above the seventh level." Chang Yufeng withdrew his hand, leaned back on the sofa calmly, and resumed his previous evil and charming posture.

"That's great, brother, now that you have magic, you're no longer a No-Maj." Erica congratulated him, but sighed in frustration: "Well, after all, what's the good of magic? I don't feel any fun in the cycle of pursuing higher-level magic every day."

"So, you don't think this is a good thing?" Chang Yufeng smiled. Seeing his sister so depressed, he smiled happily.

"Well, I don't think this is a good thing." Erica looked at Chang Yufeng very seriously and said in her own tone: "Without magic, we can try to avoid fighting and killing. With magic, there will definitely be fighting and killing. The Forbidden Magic Society is so rampant. I heard that they have been marching to prohibit the abuse of magic since a long time ago. At that time, countless magicians were innocently assassinated, and even famous great magicians were assassinated. The Rain Song Organization is more extreme and terrifying than the Shadow Hunters." Erica looked at her brother sadly: "No one knows why the background of the Forbidden Magic Society is so powerful. Obviously, everyone is pursuing powerful magic. 80% of the people in the Principality want to learn magic, but there is such a group of people who use the abuse of magic as a slogan to prohibit the use of magic. The Principality has not been able to strike the Forbidden Magic Society, so now there is an invisible pressure. It is difficult for those who learn magic to not die under the guns of the Forbidden Magic Society."

"As long as we know the background of the Forbidden Magic Society, we will know their purpose. If it was the infiltration of the Empire, they would have been destroyed long ago. I'm afraid that the knights of the Principality are controlling the Forbidden Magic Society, making all those who know magic terrified. The knights are all powerful magicians. If they make others give up learning magic, their power will become stronger. In that case, it's better to come back to farming." Erica spread her hands: "I heard from Lilia that their family has bought a large piece of land in the new castle. When the war breaks out, they will sell food to the army, and we can also go there to make a living."

"Is Erica disappointed with magic?" Chang Yufeng looked into Erica's blue eyes and became serious.

"As for magic, there isn't any. I am disappointed in Fran. I already have three reports on me. If I am not disappointed, who would be disappointed? It is true that I have never felt that these reports would do me any harm. Anyway, I will never become a knight in my life, and these reports are of no use to me. I just think that they have gone too far. People from this family and that family can easily turn right and wrong upside down. The Eagles are better than anyone else at eating dry food, and they can't afford to offend the knights, so they can only punish themselves with three cups of wine and let the matter go. I am not angry, but I think that our parents taught us too superficially to protect ourselves. If possible, I would beat that Shikash on the spot, smash his mouth, and drop out of school and go to jail."

Erica was not complaining, she said these words nonchalantly, and even though she said a lot, she was very calm.

"Not only will you go to jail, they will also poke your eyes out and sell you to an unknown red-light district, where you will be tortured and miserable." Chang Yufeng seemed to have known that this was not going to happen, and that this was a tragedy caused by Erica's momentary impulse.

They were all calm. It was unusual for them to speak such cruel and ruthless words in a calm manner.

"I think so." Erica was silent for a while: "Anyway, in Fran, having magic is useless, so it's better to treat it with a normal attitude."

"Well, so you just found out that I can do magic now." Chang Yufeng put his hand on Erica's head: "What does it matter? Isn't this kind of helplessness also a part of life? Uncle Kraft also said that he has caught many bad guys and let many bad guys go. At that time, he was more entangled than us. Shikash was indeed very unfriendly to you and made you suffer."

"Is this what it means to be wronged? I really haven't felt wronged. If you weren't living in this world, you would feel bad if I did something stupid, and my parents would feel bad too. I would crush that Shikash's head on the spot, and at worst I would die. Who cares about that? But it doesn't matter how they scold me, the key is that I feel good." Erica leaned back in the chair with boredom, turning the magic pen in her hand: "Why are you so proud? It's just that my dad is more powerful and has some connections in Fran. If we really have to compare bones and who is more ruthless, he is really not good enough." Erica is a person who does what she says, so if she lived alone in Fran and had no contact with her parents, she would definitely do this.

Now, because her brother still lives with him, she needs to take her brother's feelings into consideration.

If his sister was imprisoned and suffered inhuman torture because of a scumbag, then the brother would definitely get up and do something earth-shattering.

That would just not be worth it.

So, just bear with it and it will pass. Fortunately, Shikas did not do anything out of line. This is also a blessing in disguise, which is really ironic.

"So, we don't have any good way to deal with such people." Chang Yufeng put his hand down, looked at his sister who looked calm, and smiled lightly: "Right, this is reality, but it's not the same everywhere. This is a society of personal relationships after all. So, I think Uncle Kraft is right. A society built up with money, power, and connections is the norm of society. If it were him, he would have no way to resist. He also lives in such an environment. It would be terrible if the words of fairness and justice were controlled by these people. But for people who have no money, no power, and no connections, it's all bitter, because these things can't be reversed in a day or two, nor are they formed out of thin air. It's just that this is too dark for the poor masses."

"As long as they have enough food, what do they need fairness, justice, morality? They don't even have the resources for education. I guess they can't even understand the meaning of the word darkness." Erica smiled: "Fortunately, we are not like that. This is something to be thankful for."

"Teacher Pylos's analysis of this part is very profound. I have been reading his "Who Dominates the War", which mentions the reincarnation of history. Including wars to reshape order, wars to seize resources, wars to instill culture, wars to assimilate people, etc., all believe that no one can escape the circle of history. Because human life is limited, all things cannot remain in an eternal and unchanging state, so the reincarnation of history will be endless, and historical wars have never been cut off. The big bully the small, the old bully the young, the strong bully the weak, and when it comes to people, such things happen all the time." Chang Yufeng looked at his hand, and the black flame bloomed in the palm of his hand: "It's too easy for yourself, but it's always difficult for others."

"It's hard to say. I heard that when the new treaty was signed, after the war broke out, there were endless traitors, and some people made a lot of money by selling intelligence. It was really terrible. I don't know why they were so diligent and shameless in being dogs." Erica snorted: "Humph, they are not even worthy of being human beings."

"So, unrestrainedly following one's own desires will only lead to selfishness. When selfish people gain power and money, it is more terrible than a disaster." Chang Yufeng seemed to be talking to himself. He said softly: "No matter what, we cannot escape the secular world. We will always be people in the secular world. Right and wrong, good and bad, must be judged according to the rules of the secular world. It is not enough to just judge, but also requires judgment."

"I'm scared. I think Fran's purge will come back to life. Our identities are too special. The Qulong faction has become a hated faction for us. It's hard for us to distance ourselves from them." Erica looked at Chang Yufeng. They talked about everything, but they never left themselves.

In fact, they may not necessarily know clearly where they stand, because when it comes to "taking sides", there is only one way out if you stand in the right side.

They received favors from the former Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is, the Qulong Faction headed by Longxu Gong. When the Qulong Faction overthrew the power and the Zhuhu Faction carried out a purge, although they were not affected, it was like someone holding a trump card of theirs, which could be turned out at any time and they would be doomed.

This is not a game. The Purge is definitely not a game.

Those were human heads and prison vans piled up like the Great Purge. Death is one word, but there are thousands of reasons for people to die.

Who doesn’t want to live a stable, wealthy and powerful life?
Don't you want to?

Everyone wants to.

Anyone who can cover the sky with one hand or block out the sun will feel comfortable.

But there are only a few people who can cover the sky with one hand, and block out the sun and the sky. Most people are under the hand, under the sky, and are covered.

Then the only way to turn the page is with blood and human heads. And in the cycle of history, turning the page with blood and human heads has always been a tried and tested method.

How many people can understand this level?
How could they still have the energy to learn such thoughts when they were exhausted from struggling to earn a few gold coins to survive each day? How could they still participate in the battle of heads and blood?

The answer is, impossible.

Furthermore, there are too many people who want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. You go and get your head and blood, and I will sit on your throne of head and blood with my buttocks. There have been many such stories before.
It's just that people don't want to listen to these bloody things. Everyone wants to listen to a short story happily, telling the legendary story of a loser who counterattacks and changes his fate. Growing up step by step with the loser in the story is also their own growth. Once they return to real life and face the things that they still need to deal with, they become anxious. Or maybe they just want to have fun, it doesn't matter.

How easy is it to do something for others?
