The body of Amoen of the Giant Deer was still floating quietly in the dark and boundless space of the shadow world. Broken giant rocks and metal fragments of ancient starships surrounded this huge corpse like a hill, lonely and silent, and everything was as usual.

Gao Wen's eyes stared at the corpse that emitted a soft light in the darkness through the windows and protective barriers, but the sound in his mind never sounded again.

The sound just now seemed to be an illusion, but Gao Wengan was 100% sure that he had indeed heard it, and his intuition told himself that the sound was indeed coming from outside from the direction of Amoen, the Giant Lu.

Amber was the first to notice the abnormality here. She immediately ran to Gao Wen, and while jumping hard, waving her hand in front of the latter: "Hey! What's wrong with you? Why is the sudden expression so scary?"

Gao Wen grabbed Amber's shaking paws and stared at Amber's eyes with a serious expression: "Did you hear any sound just now?"

Amber was shocked by Gao Wen's terrible expression. She shrank her neck: "No... are you hallucinating again?"

Gao Wen often falls into a distracted state, or hears and sees something that ordinary people cannot detect from things like eternal stone slabs, and Amber seems a little strange about this.

"I'm not sure...it's probably an illusion..."

Gao Wen said without objection, then put aside the cute circle of amber and came to the wide floor-to-ceiling window on his own.

He stared at the corpse of Amoen of the Giant Deer, focused and alert, and tried to communicate in his mind: "You were talking just now?"

The corpse of the God of Nature is silent, just as it has been in the past thousands of years.

Gao Wen received no response. After waiting patiently for several minutes and trying more than once to communicate, he finally gave up. Although he still thought he was not auditory hallucination before, he still felt that his behavior was a bit funny and weird at this moment.

Carmier also noticed Gao Wen's actions, and he immediately ordered the laboratory response agency: "A warning system, report the situation of the corpse."

Two seconds later, the synthesizer of mechanical distortion sounded in the room: "Discovery... Everything is normal, and the energy fluctuations of the god corpse are stable."

Carmire came behind Gowan: "Lord, there is no abnormality."

Gao Wen nodded: "I know... Maybe I've been here for a long time and I'm a little nervous."

As he said, he turned around and left the floor-to-ceiling window. After looking back at the body of Amoen of Julu, he temporarily suppressed his thoughts and focused on the experimental project in front of him.

"We have reached the desired conclusion. It is safe to use the inverter array to charge the Holy Light Runes. Next, we can consider the first phase of practicalization process," Gao Wen looked at Carmier and Rebecca and said, "Combining the design experience of magic armor, find a way to make the Holy Light Runes practical as soon as possible to create a useful 'White Knight Arms'. This will be an important reliance for us to deal with Lu'an City next."

After Rebecca and Carmier nodded, he turned to Wright again: "You are responsible for selecting members of the first White Knights without limits, and there are no limits on their origins. There are only two requirements. First, you must be a person who fully accepts the new teachings, completes the transformation in thought, and has a firm mind. Second, you must go through the assessment of the Government Affairs Department. I suggest that you select members from the Cecil Combat Corps. I will arrange Byron to contact you."

Speaking of this, Gao Wen paused for a moment and looked at Wright's eyes with great seriousness: "In short, the White Knight is not only a firm believer in the New Holy Light, but also a firm Cecil warrior. Do you understand what I mean?"

The research on the controllability of holy light has achieved key results. It is just around the corner that the White Knight becomes a mass-produced profession. In order to prevent this extraordinary profession that can be mass-produced lose control, some words must be explained in advance.

Wright is an excellent priest, a determined white knight, a man who agrees and is willing to follow Cecil's path, but how long his faith in the Holy Light can go on this path depends on his enlightenment.

Wright's expression was equally solemn. He did not answer immediately, but asked a question: "You once said that the old aristocratic groups and the Church of Holy Light were corrupted and degenerated because of their fundamental system, and what you want to establish is a system that is completely different from them, without restricting their origins and social classes, and truly operates for justice. Do you still remember these words?"

"I remember, and I promise that at least in my lifetime, I will work for this goal."

Wright took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, his tone was firm and steady, "If you practice justice, then the power of the gods will be granted!"

The entire laboratory was heard, and Gao Wen smiled after a moment of silence: "The power of the gods is granted...it can make the Northern Church furious...but I accept this statement."

Perhaps one day, there will be no more divine power in this land, and no more kings.

Perhaps one day, human beings will find a higher level of true spiritual belief from the essence of God.

Perhaps one day, the increasingly decaying Cecil dynasty will be overthrown by new progressive forces, and the White Knight will become the dust of history...

But all this is in the future. What Gao Wen cares about is today, now and now, he finally grasped the power of the gods.

...

Tifeng, southwest border.

The black-haired mage apprentice Mary walked through the crowded market in the town.

The shouts of market vendors and the tempting fragrance from various food stalls lingered throughout the street, catching Mary's mood and taste buds at all times. She held the package in her arms, lowered her head and walked slowly forward, and stopped in front of a stall without realizing it.

The stall owner enthusiastically recruited the business: "Girl, let's have a muffin, it's fragrant and sweet!"

Mary tightened the package in her arms, her eyes stayed at the muffin stall for a moment, but in the end she stopped her irrational urge, turned around and quickly left the stall, and continued to walk forward.

The tutor did not give her extra money to do this.

She continued to walk along the street, heading towards another shop that the instructor ordered to go to purchase. She occasionally raised her head and looked at the streets that were much busier than before, and the emotions in her eyes were inevitably a little complicated.

If only I could stay here for a while...

There are not many opportunities for her to leave the Mage Tower or the small village at the foot of the mountain, because the town is half a day away from that mountain village. If it weren't for purchasing necessary things, the old mage would not allow the apprentice to leave her surveillance all day.

So the opportunity to leave the Mage Tower for a whole day like today and wander around town is really precious.

Mary touched the cold rune ring on her neck, shook her head vigorously, and threw all the unrealistic ideas out of her mind.

The instructor's temper has improved a little recently, and his hysteria and inexplicable anger have been much less than before. Although occasionally there are apprentices who will be whipped or pulled to conduct strange experiments, at least no one has been thrown into a cave full of monsters by the old mage. Mary is already very grateful for such "good days". She is neither willing nor the courage to do things that anger the old mage when everything is developing in a good direction.

A sound of blowing and beating came from a distance, causing Mary, who was rushing to stop.

She looked up and looked in the direction where the sound came, and found that it was the square of the town.

The Harvest Festival is approaching... The town will prepare for the festival. The mayor and the rich should have invited circuses of bards and "Monten Mountains" as usual. Before the Harvest Festival begins, these bards and circuses will start performing sporadically in the square. These ten days will be the most lively moment of the year here.

Mary hesitated and slowly moved towards the square.

You can go and listen to the story of the bard... or watch the free street performances of the circus clown.

These things are not expensive. She will not leave any muffin residue or breath on her body when she watches the performance. The instructor will not discover them, nor will the tower spirit of the mage tower...

She only needs to look at it for a while, it’s still early anyway... and the store is also near the square, so she goes by the way from this direction.

If she missed this time, she would probably have no chance. She could only come to town a few times a year...

Mary's footsteps finally moved completely towards the square.

The young female apprentice quickly passed through the streets, through narrow alleys, and into the town square from the small path. As she thought, the bard and the circus had already set up a platform here, and the sound of blowing and beating came from those platforms.

Many townsmen have gathered in the square, but because it is just a small-scale performance, there are not many people who can't walk. Mary hugged the package in her arms tightly, staring her eyes wide and walking through the crowd, trying to imprint everything in her sight deeply in her mind.

There are some passages in the minstrel's poem that I have never heard of. Although they are still old-fashioned knight stories, they are still novel and interesting; the clown's performance is just a clumsy magic technique, and occasionally a few magic-level magic is already a circus' skill, but it still surprised Mary...

Mary already has a formal casting level. Although she is still an apprentice of the old mage, her casting level is formal. This kind of trick performed on the street is completely different from the murder skills she learned in the mage tower.

She has only seen it a few times in her life.

The young female apprentice seemed to have forgotten her task for a moment. She walked around the square, watching everything that could attract her attention until she came to the bulletin board of the square, and was interested by the newly posted sheets of paper on the bulletin board.

The literacy rate of the Tifeng people has only increased in recent years. Since His Majesty the Emperor implemented various new policies and signed relatively strict and fair contract rules, everyone can rent arable land from the state in the form of a contract, rent oxen, and withdraw grain. The people have the need to read and read. Driven by this demand, the literacy rate of the Tifeng people has increased little by little, and the bulletin boards in towns have replaced the soldiers who read the government orders.

Mary knew that the bulletin board often wrote new decrees signed by the emperor, or big news happening nearby, and these things seemed to be far from her life in the Mage Tower, but she was still interested in them.

Her curiosity was very strong. Although this curiosity allowed her to sneak into the mage tower more than ten years ago and became a prisoner wearing a collar, this curiosity still exists.

She saw that the bulletin board was indeed written with a new decree, some were signed by His Majesty the Emperor, and some were issued by local officials:

“…Under the orders of Emperor Rosetta, we will continue to promote basic education, and the city will expand the scale of the university…

“… Recruiting volunteer soldiers, if one person in each family joins the army, they will be exempted from taxes for three years. For specific matters, please ask the local sheriff…

"Under the new decree of Emperor Rosetta, the position of 'Agricultural Supervisor' will be established, and the best local farmers will be the ones. The organization and promotion of planting experience, remuneration and screening methods can be asked to the local security officials...

“The order to build a tartar-burning acid chemical workshop…recruiting apprentices…
