Vol 2 Chapter 476: White crow

In a flash, several days passed.
　　Richard left the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom and went straight north on a horse.
　　 "Boom! Boom! Boom!"
　　 The horses were running fast on the road. Richard was riding on the horses, thinking about some things in his mind, most of which were about what he saw in the private library of King Black Mountain.
　　 From the content of the book, he learned a lot of information about the Black Spirit Empire, and had not noticed anything while reading. But in the past few days, slowly digested, but it was born with a lot of doubts.
　　According to what we learned, the once existing Black Spirit Empire can be roughly divided into two periods.
　　 In the previous period, the overall atmosphere of the Black Spirit Empire was extremely relaxed, and various industries were in full bloom.
　　Wizards and ordinary people live in harmony in the territory, under strong official rule, without any external threats. And internally, there is no bullying, it is completely like a harmonious society.
　　 In this environment, wars, rebellions and the like do not exist at all. The only thing that is regarded as conflict is that it may be a variety of competitive games.
For example, the Fireball Contest: Invite many wizards, limit the use of the simplest fireball to continuously attack small targets that are quickly thrown from all directions. According to the number of hits, the highest score will have a rich reward and a very high Of honor.
　　Another example is a kind of Dicks ball game where wizards and ordinary people work together: by scoring a Dicks ball and putting the ball into a specific area to score. In the event, wizards and ordinary people have their own exclusive positions. They must not be confused and strictly abide by certain rules, otherwise they will be sent off by the referee. This event is sought after by many ordinary people and wizards. Many cities even form special teams to compete with the other cities in turn. Each event will be a grand occasion for everyone.
　　In Richard's view, it's a shooting game and football league in the wizarding world.
　　It can also be seen from the side that the Black Spirit Empire allows most people to gather regularly. It is definitely not made by a totalitarian empire under high pressure-the current rumors on the East Coast are wrong.
　　 In fact, according to the content of the book, during this period, the Black Spirit Empire is definitely a wonderful country for everyone, even ordinary people can find their own value.
　　Because in the empire, the wizard is only regarded as a special talent, maybe the status will be higher than the ordinary people, but it is definitely not too exaggerated. The rulers of the Black Spirit Empire, except for the highest level of the Black Spirit King, most of them are not hereditary. Instead, they are selected to admit their fate, and even require certain public opinion.
　　 Therefore, if an ordinary person is talented and willing to work hard, even if he cannot become a wizard, he can have a higher status than the wizard.
　　 This kind of rule, although not described in more detail, made Li Cha still smell a combination of feudalism and modern democracy.
　　If there is no wrong guess, the political system of the Black Spirit Empire should be a hybrid of monarchy and constitutional monarchy. This has completely surpassed the medieval era in which the world is currently located. After all, according to the situation of the Middle Ages, most countries still implement the most primitive feudal separatist monarchy.
　　 That is, the king divided the territory to many large lords through the seal, and the big lord was divided into the small lord, and the first-level seal. It seems that the king has the right to rule the entire country, but he can't manage the big lord's fiefdom except the direct territory. The ambitious big lord will even unite many small lords to fight against the king.
　　The system of the Black Spirit Empire is obviously very advanced, and the advanced ones are a bit unreasonable.
　　 But this situation has changed again in the latter stage.
　　According to records, after spending the first few decades in the Black Spirit Empire, the relaxed atmosphere gradually tightened from top to bottom, entertainment activities were continuously restricted, various competitive games were all cancelled, and a large number of recruitment and training were replaced.
　　Many wizards have also been gathered to collectively develop joint spells with great lethality. In addition to this, numerous "secret police" institutions were set up, either lightly or secretly, to monitor all aspects of the entire empire, such as to capture some deeply hidden enemies to ensure the overall safety of the empire.
　　 It feels like the Black Spirit Empire is preparing for a nationwide war. Because of lack of confidence, it has to run at full speed or even squeeze the state machine.
　　 But the question is, who is the war target of the Black Spirit Empire?
　　According to records, the Black Spirit Empire has unified the entire east coast, and even islands in the sea, such as Lisburn Island, are also under the jurisdiction of the Black Spirit Empire.
　　 Only the enemy of the Black Spirit Empire can be the "Smans Island" in the far distance, or the main body of the Mann mainland that is obstructed by many mountains on the east coast.
　　 Attacking "Smans Island" must have a powerful fleet to cross the entire sea. Attacking the "main continent of Mann", it is almost impossible to cross the thousands of mountains in natural disasters, and can only detour from the sea, as well as having a strong fleet.
　　 In the record, the Black Spirit Empire did not develop a fleet. It was more of a crazy development of land forces, and a crazy increase in the number of "secret police" agencies.
　　 gives the impression that the enemy does not come from the outside~EbookFREE.me~ but from the inside.
　　 As to whether the war broke out in the end, who the enemy was, and there were no records in the books, but the result is already known-the Black Spirit Empire has destroyed the country.
　　 Overall, we can draw such a conclusion: the great changes of the Black Spirit Empire, even the demise, are caused by a factor.
　　 It is precisely because of this factor that the Black Spirit Empire entered the next stage from the previous stage, and finally died, leaving a rumor of "ruthless rule".
　　 But what is this factor?
　　 Richard was puzzled by this. He knew clearly that as long as he understood this, he should also be able to understand the ultimate secret of the Black Spirit King, the missing history, and then a deep buried truth in the current world. In this way, it can also bring him one step closer to his ultimate goal.
　　 Hope that there are related clues to the North Moore.
　　 Richard thought so in his mind and moved forward. Suddenly I noticed something was wrong next moment. I pulled the horse's reins and stopped the horses. I turned my head to look at a tree on the side of the road and frowned slightly.
　　Because of entering the cold moon, the leaves on the trees next to them had almost withered and looked bare.
　　On the bare tree, a crow stood.
　　Somewhat interesting is that the crow is not black, but is snow-white, like a white dove-maybe there is a saying "the world is black as a crow", but in fact there are white varieties of crows, but only a few are rare.
　　 But what stopped Richard from frowning was not the color of the crow's feathers, but the crow's gaze. I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Li Cha felt that the white crow standing on the tree was looking at him like a person. ...
