The witch thought I am a Demon God

In the study, Ivita said to Tartax: "Because the oligarchs in the urban industry can allow more people to share the benefits of ruling this land. But the land aristocrats rely on violence to maintain their rule."

"The resources that both sides can mobilize are different."

"The landed aristocrats must not have any weakening of their military power. Once it does, their control over their territory will weaken."

Ivita said: “Especially since the Ambrose City Council also owns the capital of the country.”

"In the eyes of the minor nobles, Parliament has more legitimate rights and interests."

Tartax frowned slightly.

"So that's what you had in mind."

"But this time... the school city supports Viscount Winchester."

"The Citadel believes that the Ambrose people are all members of the same nation, and this nation must have nobles ruling it."

"Just like people cannot live without their heads, without their heads, people will die. A country cannot live without its nobles and kings."

Ivita glanced at Tartax in confusion. The city supported the noble faction?

Wait a moment.

Iveta realized that she had overlooked one thing. The school city was also made up of people. The common people had no money to support their children whose families had no inheritance rights to study in the school city. Therefore, the school city must be biased towards the aristocratic faction.

After all, the base camp of the academic city, the most powerful region, should be the Kingdom of Silemia.

According to Tartax, it should be the first kingdom in the world, the birthplace of the kingdom's laws, and the most important part of the order of this world.

And that should also be the area where the nobles are the most powerful.

In other words, the academy is a completely aristocratic faction.

Ivita thought about Tartax, who said that the mainstream view of the city is that the country is composed of citizens, and the rights of the ruler come from the voluntary surrender of rights by the citizens.

The nation comes from the recognition of its citizens.

Ivita guessed that a country deeply affected by the power of the Academy might be more authoritarian than the Kingdom of Alsace.

Because the school city seems to have touched upon an artifact-level idea - the idea of ​​nationalism.

It was an idea that appeared on the earth and established the pattern of the earth and created post-modern international rules.

Its emergence has disintegrated the universalist state.

Throughout history, all great empires were either universalist countries or nationalist countries.

Iveta felt vaguely that something was wrong.

The universalist state…

Ancient civilizations, the ancient world, and even the Abbasid Empire seemed to be united under one or several universal laws.

They appear to be universal states.

But the appearance of the school city is like an iron nail in the beach, so out of place and so dangerous.

On Earth, the emergence of nationalism has almost disintegrated all universal empires.

Ivita ignored this point. After all, the school city still has a very serious aristocratic tendency. Before the aristocracy is disintegrated, nationalism will be difficult to completely complete.

Besides, these are closer to my own random thoughts.

Who knows whether there is any connection between an empire based on universal laws and universal values?

The four-dislike trend of thought in the city might not be nationalism at all, but just an occasional brush with it.

You know, once it enters the stage of nationalism, the country will be strengthened to a terrible point, and it can launch all-out wars at will, turning what was originally a small-scale war belonging to an elite group into one where everyone feels they are obliged to fight to the death. The last moments of life.

This will turn into a war that can destroy mankind and the race!

This kind of thing is just like a nuclear bomb. Once it appears, no one can control it!

Ivita said to Tartax: "Really? It turns out that the academy supports the nobles."

"It surprises me."

Tartax took the opportunity to promote the Citadel to Ivita. "My lord, every bachelor in the city has rich experience in managing the territory. From handling bills to farming, to military thinking and military technology, they know everything."

"If you can get help from the school city, it will be of endless benefit to your territory."

Ivita raised a brow. "So how am I going to get a maester from the Citadel?"

Tartax was in high spirits. The emergence of the soap industry and the cast iron industry allowed him to see the rise of this territory. He wanted to plant a stake here in advance on behalf of the school city. He said: "Generally, lords above earl can write to the city to request the allocation of bachelors."

"You need to queue up."

"Every year, thousands of nobles are full of ambition and pass dozens of exams to enter the city to study."

"But in the end, only a few hundred people can graduate."

“Focus, dedication, seriousness, and erudition are the city’s standards for graduates.”

Tartax said: "But don't worry, I can write you a letter of recommendation."

"This way, you can..."

Iveta left the desk and walked to the candy mirror. Amelia Mirror Spirit was dressing up in the mirror. Her beautiful long hair was scattered on her shoulders like a waterfall, and her hair reached her waist.

Tartax followed up with Iveta as he spoke. It was obvious that Iveta didn't want to listen, otherwise she wouldn't have left the desk.

He stood with some fear, five or six meters away from the mirror.

Tartax asked tentatively: "So...my lord, what are your thoughts?"

"Do you need me to apply for a bachelor's degree from the city? They are all outstanding undergraduate students who graduated from the city."

Iveta looked at the mirror. Amelia in the mirror suddenly disappeared, and the mirror of the Candy House Mirror seemed to become an ordinary mirror.

Tartax's face appeared in the mirror, but Tartax in the mirror showed a sinister smile.

This is the special function of the spiritual mirror.

What is reflected in the mirror is not the thing itself, but the heart of the thing.

Tartax in the mirror is smiling sinisterly, which means that he is plotting against Ivita.

However, as long as there is no special sight such as blood in the mirror, it means that the other party is not his enemy.

It's just an irrelevant calculation.

Ivita sighed and said, "Come on, Tartax, you also know my attitude towards Ambrose's war."

"I don't want to take sides at all, so I'll leave the matter of the school city aside for the time being."

"During this sensitive time, it is better not to have contact with them."

Tartax sighed sadly.

After Tartax left, the scene of Tartax in the spiritual mirror suddenly disappeared, and then the spiritual mirror suddenly turned very red and was filled with blood.

Ivita was startled.

After looking in the mirror for a while, he quickly asked the maid outside the door to call the old witch who was wandering in the courtyard.

The old witch reached the second floor and was shocked when she entered the study.

Because the mirror placed on the wall turned so bright red.

Ivita said to the old witch: "I'm not very familiar with mirror divination."

"Explain to me, what does this mean?"

The old witch thought for a moment and said, "This means that someone is carrying out activities that are very detrimental to you and full of hostility."

"Spirit mirror divination is indeed a magic that requires huge wealth to learn and complete. Its functions are so diverse."

Mirror Spirit Amelia appeared in the mirror. She had already dressed up and said to Ivita: "Master, am I the most beautiful woman in the world?"

"If you say yes, I will tell you the clues I know."

"..." Ivita.

Ivita gritted her teeth and sold her soul: "Yes."

Mirror Spirit Amelia suddenly smiled with a mature charm. "The threat should not come from mortals."

"But witches and wizards."

"It's just my ability to predict, I can only know so much."
