Chapter 368: Leave the Manor

“There are too many magic conductors. Due to the continuous wars in the empire, as well as the promotion of the various warlords and corporations, the number of magic conductors has already reached 80% of the empire’s population.”

“What! 80% of the people in our empire are magic conductors?”

When Lei Luo heard this news, he was also very shocked.

He didn’t dare to believe it.

That was to say, eight out of ten people walking around on the streets were magic conductors.

“So you can understand. Most of the magic conductors are slaves, and slaves are the main labor force of this empire. It can be said that our empire is a slave empire, and all the slaves added up may be more than 90%.”

“This means…”

Lei Luo suddenly thought of something and widened his eyes.

“You’re right! There are too many slaves! There are too many sorcerers! When they all awaken and are twisted into a rope, it can be imagined how much shock it will cause!”

“I’m afraid the entire empire will fall apart.”

Lei Luo sighed.

“That’s right, that’s why the empire is about to collapse.”

“The empire was built because of the war, but the world is still so big. When you have no more places to conquer, you can’t keep adding new slaves, and you keep using magic to create magic conductors. And all the nobles and civilians are gathered in a few huge cities.”

“This means that the ordinary people are being surrounded. They are surrounded by 80% of the magic conductors in those big cities.”

“And if someone can make use of these magic conductors, then how can this less than 20% of the human population resist the attack of 80% of the magic conductors?”

“But it’s not easy to gather all the magic conductors, is it?” Lei Luo said.

“It’s not easy, but it’s not difficult either. After all, they are slaves. As long as there is inequality, there will be resistance.”

“Are you saying that someone has already done that?”

Lei Luo turned around and looked at Mellie in shock.

Mellie answered nonchalantly, “If it were me, if I wanted to reshuffle the Empire and establish my own hegemony, then I would do it… even if it’s someone from within the empire, who wouldn’t want to reorganize the empire after Emperor Victor?”

Lei Luo raised his head.

His left hand was placed on his lap.

His right hand was about to clench into a fist.

But halfway through, he loosened his grip.

“Teacher, in your opinion, how many years do I have?”

“How many years?”

Mellie reached out and patted Lei Luo’s thick shoulder.

“Lei Luo, someone who wants to rise in troubled times shouldn’t be as optimistic as you. From now on, the time you have can only be counted in days.”

“Teacher, what do you want me to do?”

“No, you’re wrong. You shouldn’t be asking us this,” Mellie said. “You should be asking yourself. But I personally think that no matter what you want in the future, when the chaotic world comes, you need to be strong yourself. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk.”

As Mellie spoke, she handed a letter to Lei Luo.

“This is Habacca’s money from Morton Trading Company. Take it. The money isn’t much. I hope it can help you.”

At this time, there was no need to be polite.

Lei Luo reached out and took the envelope.

“As for the cross system, I’ve already opened it for you. You can take a look at that cross.”

Lei Luo took the cross into his hands.

He saw that on the surface of the cross, a progress bar appeared.

“This crusader has already been activated for you. It will choose to test you at the appropriate time. When you pass all of its tests and progress to 100%, you will be able to obtain the deity-made equipment, the wargod.”

Lei Luo nodded and remained seated on the spot.

“The carriage is about to arrive. Go back to your room and see if you have anything to take away. Once you are ready, you can leave.”

“I understand. where is Teacher Habacca?”

“He went fishing. You don’t have to say goodbye to him. He has never liked the scene of saying goodbye.”

“Teacher, then I have to leave. I don’t know when I will be able to see him again. Do you have anything else to say to me?”

At this moment, in the face of the situation in the empire…

Everything was a little urgent.

There was no need to be so wishy-washy.

Lei Luo also asked Mei Li this question after some thought.

“Remember, once you step out of this manor, you must be prepared at all times.”

“Yes.”

“Your every word and action will be watched by others. Therefore, don’t think that any action or sentence can escape surveillance. You must know how to hide yourself.”

“I know. I will know how to protect myself. Anything else, Teacher?”

“Go find a woman to love. It will be good for you.”

He sat cross-legged on the ground as if he had thought it over carefully.

That was what Mellie said.

Lei Luo nodded his head as if he understood something.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves approached from outside.

“Go,” Mellie said.

Lei Luo bowed respectfully to Mellie.

After all, this was the teacher who had taught and raised him for eighteen years.

More words were said.

Lei Luo left the room and sat in the carriage heading to the Utopia Manor.

The first place he was going to was a city called Xida City.

Xida City mainly relied on a magic crystal mine to carry out import and export trade.

Magic crystal mines were a very high-intensity source of magic power.

They could be repeatedly compressed, refined, crystallized, and finally purified to a relatively high level of pure magic power.

Currently, there were only tens of thousands of magic crystal mines in the entire empire, and there were only hundreds of high-purity magic crystal mines.

Although humans had mastered the technology to extract magic power from magic crystal mines.

This technology was extremely complicated.

The principle and the difficulty of the operation made it so that only a few core members of the powerful alliance could extract mana from the Magic Crystal Mine, and the Magic Crystal Mine was also the most important energy source for the magic conducting technology.

All magic conducting equipment, magic conducting weapons, magic conducting cannonballs, and magic conducting spells.

Even the magic conductors could not do without the magic crystal mine.

It could be said that the magic crystal mines had facilitated the development of magical technology.

Therefore, the magic crystal mines were also regarded as the most important strategic resources by the various alliances.

They were all hoarded by each other.

It was also because of the magic crystal mines, which could produce magic power, that they became even more valuable than the empire’s currency itself.

It was also the magic crystal coins that were only circulated among a few nobles.

However, this kind of currency was rarely circulated on the market.

And Xida City had three extremely rare high-purity magic crystal ore veins.

It was also the only city under the jurisdiction of the governor that could automatically refine magic crystals.

Hence, Xida City had unique conditions, which made it the largest trading center in the third administrative region.
