From Wild Mage to Wizard King - Chapter 442
The original conception rituals originated with the harpy.
As an intelligent race with only females, the harpies cannot give birth to offspring through internal unions within the same race. Therefore, the extraordinary beings of the harpies developed the original pregnancy ritual to obtain a stable means of population reproduction.
It is precisely because of the pregnancy ceremony that harpies now basically live in the deep mountains and old forests, and rarely appear in the sight of humans again.
Of course, according to the research of archaeologists within the harpy in later generations, before the birth ceremony, the harpy also relied on capturing males of other intelligent races to give birth to children through sexual union, so there was a period of time when the harpy was active in the human world. history.
However, although the origin of the pregnancy ritual comes from the harpies, because the harpies have a relatively low population and civilization level, their pregnancy rituals only play a role in fertility.
Later, when the fertility ritual fell into the hands of humans and elves, it was modified by human and elven spellcasters and combined with various secret techniques. The new fertility ritual also received a qualitative improvement while retaining the basic function of fertility.
The most important point is that the offspring of the birth ceremony can steadily inherit the talent of the stronger parent.
Moreover, in addition, the heir may inherit the talents of both parents at the same time, thus giving birth to a more powerful talent that combines the advantages of both parents. In addition, various mutations may occur, and as long as the ritual materials are qualified, basically only benign ones will appear. Mutations.
The most important point is that the talents of extraordinary people will continue to improve with promotion and sublimation. This means that children born through the gestation ceremony may inherit the talents of their parents after their promotion and sublimation from the beginning of their birth, making it easier to To embark on the path of the extraordinary.
Of course, the pregnancy ceremony is not without its shortcomings. Each pregnancy requires a lot of energy. Basically, once you give birth, you will be weak for one or two years. After the weak period, if you want to have another baby, you can cultivate for at least another seven or eight years.
Moreover, even the lowest level of conception ceremony requires the consumption of certain extraordinary materials. Of course, this is not a big problem in the future when magic power is revived.
In later generations, with the large-scale promotion of pregnancy rituals and the recovery of magic power, people’s average talent, lifespan and overall quality are constantly improving, and the quality and quantity of extraordinary people are getting higher and higher.
Of course, Roland initially regarded this as a version adjustment made by the game official to adapt to the average player strength, and just found an excuse to brush more advanced NPCs.
However, things are different now. Roland must vigorously promote this good thing that can steadily improve the average talent of the whole people.
Moreover, the pregnancy ceremony does not have any requirements for race or gender, as long as it is two living people, which also helps the integration of different races.
The Childbirth Support Act is a reform bill drafted to promote pregnancy ceremonies.
The current era is not an era when magic power is resurrected and low-level extraordinary materials are completely worthless. Therefore, the low-level materials required for the birth ceremony are not easily obtainable by ordinary people and low-level extraordinary people.
This is why the Pregnancy Support Act was born. In order to promote eugenics and eugenics within the committee, the War Committee will provide each couple with free consumption for a pregnancy ceremony. The second time will require half of the food stamps converted from extraordinary materials. The third time will be charged. The full amount of food stamps will be charged for the first and subsequent times.
At the same time, in order to prevent the pregnancy ceremony from being leaked, the pregnancy ceremony was arranged by official personnel.
In fact, even if it is only provided once for free or at half price, the cost is very exaggerated for the war committee. Therefore, the pregnancy ceremony needs to be applied for first and then approved by the committee.
Currently, the War Council has only prepared extraordinary materials that can support ten thousand birthing rituals.
Roland also did not expect that the people in the committee would quickly accept the new birth method of pregnancy ceremony. Therefore,
This bill just paves the way in advance to let them know about it. It is estimated that not many people are really willing to try it in the first few years.
Therefore, this stored extraordinary material is enough.
Moreover, Roland also approved a lot of Tears of the Moon to be given to the Botanical Garden, allowing the Wood Apostles to create a closed high-element environment. The cultivation field for low-level extraordinary plants has been completed to a minimum of two years. Low-level extraordinary materials are continuously produced every year.
Looking at the pregnancy support bill, Roland also glanced at Hela at the side.
“Um?””
Hela also noticed Roland’s gaze. She tilted her head slightly and smiled.
Roland pursed his lips slightly.
Looking at this bill, Roland also thought about the issue of his and Hela’s offspring.
As chairman of the committee, even if Roland does not intend to have a hereditary inheritance, if he has descendants, he is very likely to inherit Roland’s position unless Roland suppresses him and does not allow him to participate in politics.
Therefore, Roland himself does not intend to have offspring, but he does not know Hela’s thoughts yet.
“What’s wrong?”
Hela put her hand on his shoulder and said curiously.
Roland came back to his senses, looked at the reform bill in his hand, and asked.
“What does Hela think about future generations?”
Since you don’t know what Hela is thinking, just ask.
Hela was stunned for a moment after hearing Roland’s words. She blinked, glanced at the reform bill in Roland’s hand, and said with some hesitation.
“Descendants…”
Hela tapped her face with her right finger, thought for a while, and said.
“It doesn’t matter, I can have a baby or not.”
“I don’t plan to have a baby, can you accept it?”
Roland directly said what he thought.
Hela smiled and said.
“Of course.”
Roland nodded slightly, signed and passed the pregnancy support bill.
After passing this reform bill that had been put aside for a while, Roland continued to handle government affairs and continued to understand what happened in the committee during this period.
When Roland was casting the badge in the silver forge, except for the bloody incident in the Dawn Church, there was no major turmoil in the War Council.
The economic plan was still steadily implemented, and the big debate on the external network also maintained its normal heat.
Sinar and the Northland were like black holes, swallowing up all the sugar syrup exported by the War Council.
Moreover, due to the rapid development of the agriculture of the Council, the brewing industry of the War Council also gradually developed, and fine wine became the punchy product exported by the Council.
The annual foreign trade volume of the committee is constantly setting new records, and the import volume is also rising. All the gold and silver obtained through trade have been exchanged for various resources and transported back to Donnar.
While the War Committee is making steady progress, the political situation in the Silver Empire and the Northern Kingdom is becoming more and more bizarre.
In the Silver Empire, after the bloodshed in Ginza, the Silver Emperor failed to successfully win over the imperial army, especially after the bodies of countless soldiers who were pierced were pulled out of the temporary barracks in Ginza.
The furious Silver Emperor was completely helpless under the mutual protection and resistance of the citizens of Ginza and the joint obstruction of the Silver Family.
He could only find a scapegoat to execute.
A monarch who can’t even protect the soldiers who work for him will naturally not be welcomed by the army.
At the same time, his move to mobilize the army to enter Ginza also angered some neutral military generals. Although they did not directly turn to the Silver Family, they also clearly rejected the Silver Emperor’s enticement.
The Silver Emperor’s influence in the army has dropped significantly, and as the culprit who was considered to have caused hundreds of thousands of Sinar people to flee, he has also lost the support of the people.
In addition, facing the weak Silver Emperor, the nobles and princes from all over the country also chose to stay away.
Facing accountability from all sides, the Silver Emperor naturally chose to be stubborn. His original intention was good, but his subordinates did not execute it well.
Although not many people believe this.
If he was not the Silver Emperor who was elected properly, and unlike the previous Silver Queen who really killed someone by accident, the Silver Family could not force him to abdicate, and he might have rolled down long ago.
The Silver Family did not want to destroy the inheritance tradition, so they just forced the Silver Emperor to let him retain the last bit of dignity and abdicate himself.
But the Silver Emperor was unwilling to do so. He grasped the weaknesses of the Silver Family and stayed on the throne shamelessly.
In this regard, the Silver Family was also somewhat helpless.
As a high-level spellcaster, even if the Silver Family wanted to assassinate him, it would not be that easy, and problems could easily arise.
And if they restricted the power of the Silver Emperor and prevented his orders from being passed, it would be useless. Even if he lost power, the Silver Emperor would still refuse to abdicate.
Even because the seal of the Silver Emperor was personally controlled by each Silver Emperor, all matters of the Silver Empire, such as the enthronement of nobles and the transfer of officials, required the seal to pass.
He relied on this point to refuse to sign any orders, in order to threaten the Silver Family in turn and ask them to return the power, but how could the Silver Family, who had finally taken away the power, return the power again?
So, the two sides were deadlocked.
Under this stalemate, the operation of the Silver Empire also had problems. The enthronement orders for the succession of the title by the descendants of the nobles after their death could not be passed, and the vacant officials for various reasons could not be replenished. The imperial army could not be mobilized normally, and even the taxes paid by various places could not be formally collected, transported, stored and transferred because of the lack of permission.
Even because of the ongoing political struggle between the Silver Emperor and the Silver Family, the vassal states under the Silver Empire were not very honest.
The entire Silver Empire was gradually becoming chaotic.
After the Silver Empire became chaotic, the Inter Alliance, which was established on the ruins of the Inter Kingdom in the west of the Silver Empire, seized the opportunity of this chaos and went north to attack and annex the scattered human kingdoms in the north.
In the past, once the Inter Kingdom wanted to go north, the Silver Empire would threaten it with troops on the border, but now, without the order of the Silver Emperor, the imperial army on the border could only watch the Inter Alliance invade and annex the human kingdoms in the north.
In addition to the chaos in Sinar, in the Northland region, the political chaos in the Northland Kingdom gradually surfaced.
At the end of November 1459, as the news that the Northland Orc King fell into a coma spread throughout the Northland, the core members of the human, half-orc and orc factions in the Northland Kingdom had all returned to their respective bases.
After the orc king fell into a coma, many things that could not be done before can now be done openly.
The three parties eliminated dissidents in various places, recruited militiamen, created various accidents, and firmly held their territory in the hands of their factions. They also secretly continued to recruit and train troops, collect and store food and supplies, Get ready for civil war.
At the same time, the three factions are constantly wooing the great nobles and the royal army who are still neutral in the country. In addition, they have also turned their attention to the outside world, begun to seek support from foreign forces, and launched various Plant chips.
In today’s world situation, the Moon Elves are indifferent to world affairs, and the Silver Empire is caught in political infighting. The one who can really influence or even influence the civil war in the North is undoubtedly the War Council, which is in a state of peace and has a stable political situation.
In response, the three factions were wooing the vassal states within the Silver Empire, and at the same time they also sent their envoys to seek the support of the committee.
The three factions are distinguished by the prince race they support. The internal components of the factions basically include humans, half-orcs and orcs.
The wife of the Northland Orc King is a Northland human, so his descendants include humans, half-orcs,
There are also orcs, and the three most outstanding descendants among all the descendants happen to be humans, half-orcs and orcs respectively.
Therefore, the envoys sent by the three factions are all human envoys.
However, since Roland was not in Tianqi when they came over, the committee did not give them a clear answer.
After entering 1460, in areas bordering the three factions, minor frictions and military conflicts that precipitated the civil war had already begun.
However, although the orc king has fallen into a coma, the three factions still restrained their impulses and did not start a civil war. Instead, they waited for who would break the deadlock first.
Of course, the most important point is: the royal troops who are directly loyal to the orc king have not yet made their choice.
According to each prince’s understanding of the king, he must have left a will of inheritance. Once he dies, the will will appear. At that time, the royal army will most likely make their choice.
As a military force capable of affecting the situation in the civil war, their choice is crucial.
Before the civil war begins, if the army makes a choice and joins a faction, the other two parties can join forces to attack that faction, thus erasing the advantage brought by the royal army.
And if the army makes its choice after the civil war begins, then it will be easy for the army to be caught off guard when it suddenly enters the scene.
Therefore, before the royal army made its choice, the three factions endured and silently accumulated strength, waiting for the final outbreak of the civil war.
