Magic Underachiever

Da Liang sat on a chair, playing with Brown's pistol and magic wand in his hands.

The silver revolver was very well made and had six bullets in it. The bullets and the gun body were engraved with complex magic patterns. At first glance, it was an industrialized alchemical weapon, which also gave Daliang a general understanding of the level of military power in this world.

Train, pistol... Looking at the clothes of the human in front of him, it can be judged that this world has entered the era of steam-heated weapons. Steam engine technology is mature and widely used, metallurgical technology has reached a certain level, manufacturing industry is standardized and industrialized, and production capacity is very high.

In addition... there is magic in this world, and magic and alchemy are used at a high level.

Technology and magic coexist and have reached a certain height. It is a very interesting world.

And this human captured by Sophia also knows angels... It means that there are angels in this world. Daliang is more curious about the outside world.

Daliang handed the magic wand and pistol to Princess Zi Ling. With her eyes, she can easily see what level of alchemical technology is contained in it.

Then Daliang looked at Brown, waiting for his answer.

Brown was sweating profusely at this time.

He dared not regard Daliang as a harmless human child anymore. Even the extinct supernatural creature angel appeared. God knows what kind of ancient creature this person sitting in front of him was transformed from. Although there was no trace of magic fluctuation in his body, it further showed that the other party's control over magic had reached the level of returning to nature.

This must be some ancient demon god!

Brown looked at the angel Julian for help. The ancient legend made him instinctively rely on the kind angel.

After seeing Brown's gaze, Da Liang said, "You don't need to look at my guardian angel. If I ask her to kill you, she will never hesitate.

Well... since it didn't happen, I won't hold you responsible for your attempt to assassinate me.

Now I have some questions for you to answer for me.

It may take a while, you can stand up and answer."

Brown stood up woodenly, his spirit was depressed, and the whole person was still immersed in the panic of ancient civilization. He asked with a trembling voice: "Respected... Your Excellency, may I ask... what do you want to know from me?"

"Everything... everything about the outside world. Let's start with yourself... During this period, I will interrupt you from time to time and ask some things I want to know."

Brown didn't know why the other party asked these questions, but he could only introduce himself truthfully. From the Jennings family to the Vlomink Empire, from the Marcellus Province to the Hundred Years' War.

The situation on the continent, the foreign races overseas... industry, magic, alchemy, education, political system... and that lost history.

Time passed little by little, and Daliang interrupted Brown's story at any time to ask his own questions, and then brought up another big topic.

Daliang spent the whole day talking with Brown. He didn't waste any time or rest. He asked the maid to bring the meals here, and talked with Brown while eating.

The food and red wine that he had never tasted made Brown temporarily forget the dangerous situation he was in. As a magic professor at the Saroyang Magic Academy, he had some knowledge of the world. For some tricky questions of Daliang, even if he couldn't answer them accurately, he could tell some general ideas.

It was about the same as Daliang's estimate.

The application of steam technology in this world has reached a height that was not reached during the first industrial revolution on Earth, mainly because magic and alchemy technology made steam engines miniaturized, and at the same time, the utilization of thermal efficiency was higher.

Steam technology has brought about a rapid development of the entire social industry, and metallurgical technology has made the world's war mode transition from cold weapons to hot weapons. Magicians are transitioning from front-line combatants to logistics researchers and strategic forces. Ordinary magicians who can be killed by civilians with high-powered alchemical pistols no longer have the transcendent status they used to have. They are still respected, but their privileges are no longer so obvious.

The political systems of various countries are also diverse, including centralized imperial systems, federal systems, parliamentary systems... autocracy, democracy, abdication, recommendation... too many to list.

Races exist in a concentrated form... The human race occupies the most suitable land for survival in the largest order continent, while elves, orcs and other weak races are squeezed into the mountains and snowfields in the north.

There are other continents overseas, but the conditions are far inferior to those in the order continent. The human race is also widely distributed in the overseas continents, but they are not as strong as the human race on the order continent. Basically, they are attached to some powerful races and countries.

The situation of the whole world cannot be explained in a few words. Brown's knowledge and insights are also limited. It is impossible to present the world in full to Daliang, and he can only tell a general impression.

Most of the topics of Daliang and Brown are in the history of the world.

Due to historical reasons, there is a serious fault in the civilization of this world.

According to the summary of existing data...history is divided into four stages:

Ancient Magic Age; Theocracy Age; Dark Age and Age of Discovery.

The Ancient Magic Age was a period of prosperity of magic civilization. According to the archaeological excavation of some ancient relics, the ancient magic world is composed of many planes. The human race, beast race, elf race, elemental race, and even the undead race all have their own huge planes for the continuation and survival of the race.

Each race is guarded by several 16th-order law-level heroes, and each race also has unique extraordinary creatures. At that time, you can see angels, demons, behemoths, Titans and other creatures that are born as 14th-order extraordinary beings on the streets at any time, and there are even creatures that are born as 15th-order saints.

In the ancient magic era, there were really many extraordinary beings and saints everywhere. Magic and alchemy civilization reached the extreme, people could teleport over long distances and travel across planes... It was unprecedented.

Behind the ancient magic era was the theocracy era.

When the magic civilization reached a bottleneck that could not be upgraded, an unknown law-level strongman opened the god plane and let the gods descend... The world entered the theocracy era.

Soon, the gods launched a war of gods to compete for the world's faith.

In that era, there were mortals who became gods, and there were also gods who fell. The war affected all planes of the world, and no race could be immune. They either fought for their gods or fought for themselves.

The once glorious magic civilization was destroyed over and over again, and countless lives disappeared in the 500-year-long war between gods. The earth was torn apart, rivers and seas flowed backwards, and planes collided and merged into a new world. A large number of races disappeared in that doomsday war...

Until one day the war suddenly ended.

The gods seemed to have all left the ruins, probably thinking that this lifeless world had lost its meaning to be fought for.

And those lives that survived the war between gods began to rebuild the world.
