Lord of Flames

Chapter 414: The Empire was too different! (2)

4: The Empire was too different! (2)

Tens of thousands of people marched towards the capital of the Flame Empire.

This group walked from the capital to the western border.

This road extended from the western border of the Flame Empire to Yan Province. In the future, it would connect to the Endless Desert and the 13 provinces in the northeast.

In order to cultivate this path, the Flame Empire mobilized a large number of magisters and many powerful Temple Knights.

In addition, many orcs joined in.

With the cooperation of these magisters and the Temple Knights, the Flame Empire would come across mountains and rivers to pave bridges. After the Flame Empire mobilized millions of civilians to build this straight road, it took only a few months to complete.

This speed was unbelievable even before Lin Yan transmigrated.

This was the power of magic.

For example, if it was before Lin Yan transmigrated, he would need to carry out a special explosion. However, here, he only needed sixth-ranked Knights to cut it into half and throw it away.

Some small hills were moved directly by earth magic or burned by Flame magic.

When they encountered some mountains, they needed to open a tunnel. It was Meng Ying who personally made her move. She used the flame to rush out of the tunnel.

That efficiency was simply not too fast.

Of course, the western part of the Flame Empire was relatively flat, so there were not many roads that needed special treatment.

This straight path was also very wide.

It was 60 meters wide.

On the road, there was an endless stream of caravans. This was a caravan set up by the nobles of the Flame Empire, a scene of prosperity.

In the beautiful carriage, Tina was still digesting Meng Ying’s words.

What surprised her was not only the expansion speed of the Flame Empire.

There were also the Lord of Flame’s methods.

Without relying on the Church’s magisters to speed up the growth and eliminate the pests, the Lord of Flame’s own blessing could allow the entire Flame Empire’s crops to grow quickly, and there were no pests!

Even Tina’s sister, the peak of the third level, the Eternal Night Goddess, could not do such a thing!

Along the way, Tina paid special attention.

There was indeed not a single magister casting spells in the endless land.

This meant that the Lord of Flame was more powerful than she had imagined.

What was more; the idea of Lord of Flame had made Tina look different.

For example, Tina had thought that the land belonged to the Royal Family or some noble families but only later did she know that a large number of civilians actually reclaimed these lands.

Every commoner of the Flame Empire had a large area of land, which made the commoners of the Flame Empire richer than the commoners of the Eternal Night Empire.

The civilians who worked in the fields would pray to the Lord of Flame every once in a while, praising the Lord of Flame’s greatness and prudence.

This kind of scene was rare even in the Eternal Night Empire.

The Eternal Night Empire was still the standard empire on the Continent of Gods. Nobles were the cornerstone of the entire Empire. Under the request of the royal family and the Church, the nobles did not treat the civilians too harshly. The civilians were doing pretty well but as compared to the commoners of the Flame Empire, it was too far off.

The gap between civilians was already large enough.

On the noble level, there was also a gap. (f)ree

Although the nobles of the Flame Empire weren’t as wealthy as the nobles of the Eternal Night Empire on the entire plane, the spirits of these nobles were completely different.

On the straight path, Tina Empress had seen a lot of small and medium-sized nobles leading the way. From their conversation, there was no lack of praise for the Lord of Flame.

These nobles also had a devout faith in the Lord of Flame!

As the empress of a great empire, Tina knew the nobles well.

Nobles were not as easy to fool as civilians. Nobles’ beliefs were not as pious as civilians.

However, in the Flame Empire, the nobles were as devout as the commoners.

This was a little shocking.

It was only in the bottom of one’s heart that one could completely identify with a God, rather than believing in it because of external factors such as the majesty and power of the God. Only then would faith be as pious as the nobility and commoners of the Flame Empire.

Even Empress Tina rarely saw such devotion.

At the very least, the commoners and nobles of the Eternal Night Empire couldn’t be so devout!

“This Lord of Flame is indeed not ordinary.”

Tina thought.

In the next half month, the huge delegation continued to go deep into the territory of the Flame Empire.

Tina Empress, accompanied by Meng Ying, visited every city.

The cities of the four provinces in the west of the Flame Empire had been renovated, and it did well the sewer system and sanitation system. Every city was clean and tidy!

Even civilians would not litter the streets of the city and that’s true for more than one city.

This was the case in most cities.

Such self-consciousness was rare in the Eternal Night Empire.

In addition, there was also something called a newspaper in the city. The sales of these newspapers were very large, and many nobles and literate civilians liked to read it. On it were many things that happened recently in the Flame Empire.

In every newspaper, at least a quarter of the pages were devoted to the strange stories of devout believers.

These were actually all disguised soft articles.

Empress Tina had people gather a lot of newspapers and read them with relish.

Aside from that, Tina also noticed something.

There were schools in every city of the Flame Empire.

These schools did not teach profound knowledge.

It was the simplest thing.

Literacy!

Most importantly, these schools were completely free!

No matter if it was a commoner or a noble, they could enter these schools for free.

At the same time, the rapidly expanding Flame Empire required a large number of officials, and unlike other empires, the Flame Empire did not directly select officials from among the talents recommended by the nobles, instead, it used a special evaluation system.

The content of the exam involved many aspects. It was not limited to whether or not the person was literate. Instead, the person’s ability was more important.

Under the encouragement of such a system, the people of insight from the Flame Empire came out one after another. A large number of talented officials emerged from all walks of life.

“Interesting!”

Tina became more and more interested in the Flame Empire.

In many ways, the Flame Empire was different from the Empires on the Continent of God.

The other empires on the Continent of God did not value basic education as much as the Flame Empire did. Basic education was simple, but it would require a lot of investment.

Even the Eternal Night Empire didn’t invest too much in this.

In the Eternal Night Empire, a large number of civilians were also illiterate.

In addition, the Flame Empire also selected officials from the civilian population on a large scale and formed a special system. This set a precedent for the Continent of God.

Ordinary empires would not dare to do this because they would lose the support of the nobles and shake the foundations of the empire but the Flame Empire dared, and no noble dared to say anything.

That was true. The nobles were all busy earning gold coins, and after the Flame Empire withdrew their conscription rights, the nobles could no longer jump up.

If they really wanted to jump up and down, they could be able to solve all the problems with just a token of gratitude.

During this period, Empress Tina would travel with Meng Ying during the day, chatting all the way, and resting in the palace at night.

Empress Tina knew that the Flame Empire started from a small orc tribe.

Why did a fourth ranked god start from a small orc tribe?

Tina wasn’t surprised, because she thought the Lord of Flame had other Kingdoms and Empires and the Lord of Flame must have become even stronger, so he needed to expand his Empire.

It was only then that Meng Ying was sent to develop the Flame Empire.

“In less than two years, such a huge and prosperous empire has been built. I’m afraid only the gods of the fourth rank can do so, right?”

Tina thought.

She no longer doubted the power of the Lord of Flame but in her heart, she was even more curious about the Lord of Flame.

As one of the top ten emperors in the Continent of God, Tina’s vision was very high.

However, even with her high standards, it was still a miracle that the Flame Empire could achieve this in less than two years.

Everything in the Flame Empire made her feel very curious.

This was unbelievable.

One must know that she had lived for two thousand years. She was knowledgeable, but in the Flame Empire, she had seen a lot of different things. The most important thing was her philosophy!

The idea of the Lord of Flame gave her a sense of identity.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Eternal Night Empress was about to break through to the fourth rank, the empire would probably be facing an unprecedented war. Tina was even prepared to follow Flame Empire’s example when she would return.

“I wonder where the other Empires of the Lord of Flames are? The Elven Empire? Will there be other kingdoms outside of the Elven Empire?”

Tina thought. contemporary romance

“The Lord of Flame isn’t an elf, is he?”

Occasionally, Tina Empress wouldn’t think about it.

The huge team continued forward.

Finally, after another five days, it took a total of 20 days for this mission to reach the new capital of the Flame Empire!

In the past 20 days, Tina felt like she had gained a lot.

She could not help but think.
