Chapter 54: The Implementation of the Anti-Magic Order, The Kingdom Was In Chaos
Two years later.
Although the kingdom had changed, there wasn’t much of a commotion.
The Faroe Kingdom was still extremely prosperous.
The new king strengthened and his control over the various parts of the kingdom as well as the several lords became extremely powerful.
But at this moment, the new king suddenly proposed the implementation of the anti-magic order.
As soon as he said this, the entire kingdom was in an uproar.
This was because the ban on magic was too important.
Once it was enforced, the entire kingdom would fall into chaos.
After all, using magic in the middle-earth was also a powerful means of fighting against the surrounding foreign tribes. Once magic was banned, wouldn’t it mean that he would break his own hands?
“The ban on magic mentioned by His Majesty is not an absolute ban on the cultivation of magic, but a ban on the private cultivation of mages by the major forces. It must be regulated within the control of the kingdom. No matter the size of the magic academy or the aristocratic family of magic, if they want to cultivate mages and impart magic, they must first meet the permission of the kingdom and register it in the kingdom’s book of names. For those who have been imprisoned for three generations, there are criminals, descendants of traitors, and people with an unclear background, they will be strictly prohibited from learning magic. All the major mages, families of mages, and magic academies will be a.s.sessed on their potential, and they will be allocated quotas to cultivate mages according to their apt.i.tude.”
After a purple-robed leader shouted, his voice rang out in the hall.
All the ministers present were worried.
What was the difference between this and a total ban on magic?
Once it was implemented, it would be equivalent to restricting the rights of the various magic academies and aristocratic families of magic to recruit. This was simply pinching their lifeline.
It could be imagined that the future mages of the Faroe Kingdom would become extremely gloomy.
Perhaps there wouldn’t be any problems in the short term, but if this continued for a long time, it would definitely be a devastating blow to the magic of the Faroe Kingdom.
How many terrible phenomena of corruption would arise during the implementation of the anti-magic order?
Once there was an invasion by a foreign clan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Unfortunately, the new king had great power and decided everything on his own. Once the matter was decided, no one could oppose it.
Moreover, the new king had already employed a group of people who only knew how to suck up to him. They all loudly praised His Majesty’s wisdom. Praising the anti-magic order was a great act that could protect the kingdom for countless years. It could make the Faroe Kingdom as strong as steel… This made many upright ministers feel helpless.
But they had no choice.
If they continued to advise him as they saw fit, the new king would take the opportunity to strip them of their positions.
…
The news that the kingdom was going to implement the anti-magic order quickly spread. For a while, the entire middle-earth was not calm.
Countless mage guilds opposed it one after another and expressed their demands through various channels.
Once the anti-magic order was implemented, their lifeline would be completely in the hands of the king.
At that time, if the king wanted to make this guild rise, he would be able to do so. If he wanted to make a certain academy fall, it would be weakened.
If someone privately nurtured mages, then there would be a rebellion, and he would send out an army to wipe them out.
The king could even go one step further and take all the resources for practicing magic back to the state, distributing them according to demand.
Unfortunately, their request did not receive any response. The kingdom’s att.i.tude was very tough, and they began to evaluate the various mage guilds, register them, and so on.
…
Holy Orchid City, Hiro Magic Academy branch.
This was the branch of the Hiro Magic Academy in Holy Orchid City.
Since Dean Yuan Sen resigned from his official position, he had returned here and started to teach magic profoundness, teaching many disciples.
“Teacher, His Majesty wants to enforce the anti-magic order. What should we do?” a middle-aged man said worriedly.
He was the city lord of Holy Orchid City, Yuan Mo. he was Yuan Sen’s distant relative and also his emperor. Yuan Mo’s background was not simple. The enforcement of the ban on magic this time would also have a great impact on the magic within his family.
“I have no choice. His Majesty is no longer the prince of the past. Furthermore, there is an extremely terrifying power hidden around him. Even if that invincible pseudo-ultimate mage were to appear, it would not be able to stop His Majesty’s determination.”
Yuan Sen’s expression was gloomy. It had only been a few years since the late king had died, but the new king had completely changed everything.
“The Faroe Kingdom is going to be in chaos.”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the inner room. His body became more and more hunched and aged.
…
In the library.
When Lei Luo received the news that the new king was going to enforce the anti-magic order, he was also somewhat stunned.
Just what kind of brain was this spirit? He won’t stop until the Faroe Kingdom collapses.
So be it. I want to see what he wants to do.
Lei Luo shook his head. He still did not have the intention to take action.
Although the implementation of the anti-magic order looked bad, there were still benefits. It could strengthen the supervision of the king’s mages.
Since ancient times, mages had always violated the laws of the kingdom because they knew magic. This was no joke in the imperial capital.
If it was handled properly, all the mages in the world would be brought under the scope of supervision. They would be restrained and guided in a benign manner. Not only would it not affect the development of magic, but it would also affect the development of the kingdom. It would be easier to unite the mages of the Faroe Kingdom.
Moreover, it would also be beneficial to the stability of the Faroe Kingdom.
Unfortunately, the rules were set by people.
Where there were people, there would be disputes.
Human nature was the most vulnerable to tests.
A set of good laws was required to achieve a qualitative change.
If good laws were strictly implemented, then a kingdom could thrive.
But also, a kingdom could be destroyed because of the violent consequences.
…
The Great Wild Fortress.
This was a royal fortress 300 kilometers away from the imperial city.
Unlike the previous king, the new king would go out to play every year.
It was said that the new king had met Yali when he was playing outside. In the end, he had brought her back to the palace and made her a princess consort.
“Your Majesty, there are many mages in the world who are not convinced. Many magic academies are showing signs of gathering people to rebel. In my opinion, we must not be lenient. We must first choose a few to destroy and use them to intimidate the other magic guilds.”
The queen looked at the new king lying beside her and spoke in a soft voice.
The new king was full of pride and confidence.
“My beloved concubine is right. From history, those powerful magic families are the biggest hidden danger. If we want to build a strong and solid kingdom, we must control all the magic forces in our hands.”
Moreover, he had mastered a power that could destroy the world. It was enough to suppress all the mages in the world.
So what if he didn’t have the support of that pseudo-ultimate mage?
“Give the order to the shadow guards to choose the most ferocious magic forces and destroy them completely!”
The new king’s voice became extremely gloomy and full of killing intent.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The voice in the darkness disappeared after responding.
