I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Chapter 249: The Kingdom Doesn't Need Nobles, Let Alone a King!

The world was undoubtedly cruel, and the ways to gain power were very limited. Even if the methods were complex, they all revolved around magic and divine arts, or could be directly classified as magic without any issue.

For those without magical talent, acquiring power became an extremely difficult task.

Generally, individuals would diligently hone their skills, undergo church assessments to have the chance to drink the elixir of divine grace and become a cleric. Alternatively, they could rely on the lineage of their family, becoming a bloodline knight to gain strength beyond normal people.

Lynn even speculated that these families supposedly inheriting powerful magic were likely descendants of incredibly powerful shaping wizards.

The church did not exterminate them, or perhaps Ella thought that these people posed no real threat.

Due to the limited ways to gain power, even individuals with vast wealth and noble status like William needed to resort to means such as the idol of the evil god.

According to the information gathered by Laude and others, worshiping evil gods was not uncommon among some nobles, even prevalent in the Sekas Empire.

It was indeed a shortcut to rapidly become stronger, but unfortunately, it was also a trap...

Lynn turned the blood idol in his hand, pondering how divine arts worked. It intrigued him how someone could exhibit various supernatural powers without understanding the principles of spellcasting.

Clearly, it was not exclusive to the church. When dealing with the cultists, he noticed something was amiss. Shadow magic was challenging to master, and most of it was documented. Yet, during the raid on the cultist headquarters, a large number of wizards capable of using shadow magic emerged.

They likely gained it through a method similar to divine arts!

Lynn contemplated for a while. In fact, his actions of connecting to wizards through the magic network and utilizing computational power, along with the faith-to-godhood technique, were somewhat similar. Both involved using external forces to enhance one's power limit.

The difference was that his method was more gentle, and with the aid of the smart brain, perhaps that was why Lynn did not perceive the mental contamination mentioned by Harof and others.

Since transferring knowledge directly through the smart brain was possible, he wondered if fully deciphering the opponent's mental frequency could grant magic to someone else, similar to divine arts.

Perhaps it was worth a try.

Lost in thought, a faint light appeared on the index finger of his right hand. Lynn immediately realized that Anthony had once again entered the realm of magic.

Inside the magic-mimicking microcosm, Anthony stepped into the void, gazing at the constantly rotating starry scenery beneath his feet.

Unlike before, after studying mathematical knowledge in the system, he could deduce the relative positions and movement patterns of each star.

These days of interaction made Anthony understand that Lynn's breadth of knowledge far exceeded his expectations, covering everything from the formation of thunder and lightning to the laws governing the universe and stars.

However, in Lynn's words, this knowledge was just the surface layer, representing the world's superficial rules. The real cause lay in a more profound field, possibly only perceivable in the legendary realm!

"Seems like you have something on your mind, Anthony?" Lynn's figure appeared in the magic realm, questioning with confusion. It wasn't teaching time.

"Yes," Anthony nodded. Then he spoke again, "In recent times, King Bazeel's health has been declining, and the dispute between the two princes is escalating. Prince Hatar is preparing to either win over or eliminate some of the other's supporters."

"I heard that William was sent by you to Harrod. Is that true?" Anthony cautiously inquired.

"You could say that," Lynn responded casually.

"In that case, things become much easier." Anthony sighed in relief and began explaining his magical kingdom plan to Lynn.

In short, the plan involved secretly supporting Prince Hatar, instigating conflict between the royal family and a faction of nobles loyal to the church. This would give wizards a sanctuary in the kingdom, creating a magical world controlled from the shadows.

However, after learning about the Wizards' Domain and the Secret Magic Society, Anthony's ambitions grew. Perhaps they could go further and cooperate with the royal family and some nobles, completely eradicating the influence of the local church, creating a kingdom truly belonging to wizards!

But this would lead to retaliation from the church and the Sekas Empire. It wasn't something a single school of wizards could withstand, so Anthony needed to ensure the stance of the Wizards' Domain and the Secret Magic Society.

"In your magical kingdom, after it's established, who will truly control the kingdom—wizards or nobles?" Lynn asked abruptly after listening to Anthony's narration.

"Of course, it should be..." Anthony wanted to say wizards, but he was acutely aware of the deep-rooted influence of the nobility in the kingdom, not easily shaken.

"It can be managed jointly by wizards and the royal family, with the nobility supervised by both. Then, let the nobility oversee the common people!" Anthony pondered, suggesting the most reasonable approach.

"This will lead to problems sooner or later. If the majority of the kingdom's population works in factories, obeying wizard commands, where does the power and authority of the nobility lie?" Lynn asserted confidently.

So, conflicts were inevitable...

"Do you plan to maintain the status quo?" Anthony furrowed his brow.

In fact, he had never considered gaining control over various territories. As long as the Hadrata Kingdom allowed the existence of wizards, allowing them to openly study magic without hiding, it was already a great victory in his eyes!

In this way, there would be no conflicts between nobles and wizards.

"No," Lynn shook his head. "Your magical kingdom plan is good, but the scope is too narrow!"

Anthony paused, not quite understanding what Lynn meant.

"In my view, the Hadrata Kingdom doesn't need nobles, let alone a king!" Lynn solemnly declared.

Reform abhors incompleteness, leaving behind large groups of old power interest groups that become internal parasites, especially considering the sharp and unavoidable contradictions between them and the nobility.

To put it simply, if most of the kingdom's subjects work in factories, obeying his orders, where does the power and dignity of the nobility lie?

Therefore, a conflict outbreak was just a matter of time...
