To Four Thousand Years Later

Lombardy, Milan. It was just after noon. Now is the time when the sun is at its most poisonous. But the entire newspaper office in Milan seemed to be blown up. They sent out all the reporters who were still in the local area, and the entire leadership was almost fully assembled.

Because this morning, the new news from Duke Sforza moved all of them.

The famous Leonardo is the sculptor of the "Tyre Colossus", the designer of the subway and the new city of Florence, the inventor of the diesel locomotive, the piano and the analytical engine, and the collection of human talents and virtues is praised as A man of light in this world.

He is also the richest businessman in Europe and the owner of one-tenth of the world's wealth. He also possesses the seal of a cardinal specially bestowed by Pope Mector III, possesses the power of a cardinal in the name of a person outside the Holy See, and is also the prime minister of the Principality of Sardinia. Such a big shot is in Milan at the moment.

That gentleman is now a guest at the duke's mansion. Perhaps it was something recommended by the Duke to him, or maybe it was just Leonardo's interest.

In short, His Excellency Leonardo is going to visit and inspect the most famous university in Milan, the Sforza Potential Development Institute, and intends to accept interviews. Such news spread throughout Milan in an instant, and all the reporters became excited. They smell big news.

Just hearing the name "Sforza Potential Development Institute", almost no one can guess what they teach.

In fact, they don't really teach anything that any other university does. What they teach is "about the morality and mission that an awakened person should have" and "how to awaken oneself".

The term "awakened" is a hot new concept in the past two years. The principal and founder of the Sforza Potential Development Institute, the famous Aleister Crowley is a powerful awakener.

His sight can go through walls, his hands are more stable than the best sculptors, his body is strong and responsive, and his learning ability and memory are far beyond normal. Smashing wine bottles or knocking adults into the air, or simply healing other people's injuries. In all areas, Aleister far exceeded the average level of ordinary people. And most importantly, this talent can actually be copied. This was once a frenzy when many people wanted to send their children to the Sforza Institute for Potential Development. But Aleister was not willing to accept all the students, and even retreated many students within half a year, including children of high-ranking merchants and nobles. But if you ask him why, he doesn't say anything. So some smart people realized part of the truth: no matter how the "awakened ones" achieved it, it is a technology that can be 100% extended to everyone. In other words. That is, it has some kind of. can. And the importance of this talent can completely overwhelm other talents.

This makes those who have been declared "your child does not have the talent of an awakened person" sentenced to death. If you want money or things, no matter how much you want, you can still do it after all. But if the technology itself has flaws. That would be unacceptable.

Since my kids can't be "awakened" that's what they think. This will make everyone more fair.

In fact, Aleister was limited by his position, so he couldn't tell the truth. When he awakened to psionic power and left the Order of the Rose, he did exactly that. He even gathered a bunch of people because of this, and his students worshiped him as **** and called themselves disciples. But Aleister realized that these people are just using themselves, and their hearts are not as good as they promised, their so-called ideals are unbearable in the face of greed, and psychic powers do not always benefit people lead. Its existence can only amplify people's will characteristics and desires. So after getting psychic power. The kind are kinder, the brave are braver, the greedy are more evil and the wicked are also more evil. After that, Arespe had the intention of starting a school. He wants to cultivate the three views of psykers by himself, after making sure they are all right. Only then will the spiritual power be granted to them. But what did Aleister say to these parents who questioned him? I'm sorry, your child's three views are very bad under your education and he is unwilling to accept education and reform. I judge that he will do evil after he gets psychic powers, so I don't give him psychic powers. After you bring him back, let him be a good person. It was not too late for Aleister to know how much trouble this would cause. So it's better to default to the fact that psionic abilities are innate and required, after all, it is indeed the case.

Thus, with Aleister's acquiescence, some rumors quickly surfaced.

Some people say that the "Awakened One" is a money-making lie, that there is no such thing as an Awakened One, and that Aleister is at best a charlatan playing tricks; some people say that Aleister is an evil villain. The reason why the "Awakened Ones" became psychedelic is because the summoned demons lived in their bodies.

Some people also dug up the news that Aleister was the founder of the psionic association "Golden Dawn".

To know. Psykers born today of the Golden Dawn - or rather, "awakened ones". Quite a few of them wow wanted. They used their psychic powers to do a lot of evil and take over the mountains as kings, which became evidence for their attack on Aleister. It was only later that the Duke of Sforza offered guarantees and suppressed the media, so that these rumors were barely suppressed.

And recently, a student from Aleister appeared. His name is David Hawkins. Today he calls himself "Prophet David". He showed his psychic powers tearing apart the earth with his will, bending tree trunks, rebounding flying bullets, and twisting sword blades and spears into scrap metal. He just looked at those who were hostile to him, and their limbs were twisted and bent. This "prophet" claimed that the blood of the gods of the old age remained in the human body. The awakened ones are humans who have awakened the blood of the gods and become gods, and they are not the same race as the old humans.

He claimed that kings and great nobles have always possessed relevant technologies, but they did not pass them on to the public, which is why no great nobles sent their children to awakening schools; All people will revive their own blood, and these awakened ones will be the controllers of the future world—they are no different from those princes and nobles!

He declared that in the future all people must eventually become Awakened. The old humans who cannot become awakened ones will be eliminated by the times and become slaves, livestock, and wastes that waste food and water. And he hinted many times that Aleister learned to hold this technology. This made many middle-level bigwigs think of Aleister, especially those who had heard of "psychic powers", but were not high enough to meet the psionic masters from the court and find out more.

There are also some prescient nobles who began to worry about the "awakened" from the attitude of "Prophet David", and began to secretly guard against the awakened, ready to suppress them at all times. Will the Awakened be the nobles of the new generation? What if their own children couldn't awaken psionic powers? If they have awakened their psionic powers, do they want to share authority with the descendants of these mud-legged people? They have no choice.
