Since the plan had been confirmed, everyone would naturally wait to execute it. Although they did not know what Fangzheng had in mind, since he was so confident, there was no need for them to say anything else.
But …
"Miss Fiore, I have something to discuss with you. It's about the Thousand World Tree."
"…"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Fiore's breathing paused for a moment. Then, she turned to Corlez and Golder and nodded.
"I understand. Mr. Fangzheng, please follow me. Let's talk in private."
Fangzheng nodded and left the room with Fiore. Gazing at their departing backs, Golder let out a long sigh and slumped onto the chair. Corlez hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn't choose to follow them. Instead, he silently closed the door.
Although it had been attacked, the courtyard was fortunately unaffected. Fangzheng and Fiore strolled in the courtyard, enjoying the scenery before them. Fangzheng remained silent for a moment and pondered over what he wanted to say before asking.
"After this war, what will happen to the Thousand Worlds Tree?"
"… I don't know."
Although Fiore was mentally prepared, she still lowered her head in the face of Fangzheng's question.
"Uncle Danica has given everything to this rebellion. Whether it's his bloodline, magic, or wealth, he has bet everything on it. But as long as we lose, all our efforts will be in vain. The Magic Association will never let us off. If we expropriate our assets, including the research results and patents we've accumulated over the years, I'm afraid all of them will be transferred out. Moreover, the already weak Thousand Worlds Tree may also be forcibly disbanded …. "
Fiore's voice deepened. No matter what, this was her family. The thought of what would happen next made Fiore feel a little breathless.
At this moment, Fangzheng's voice rang in Fiore's ears.
"Do you know why I chose to support Thousand Worlds Tree?"
"Eh?"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Fiore lifted her head to look at the man beside her in astonishment while Fangzheng stared into the distance.
"Because I admire your ideals. Although it was a little crude and even reckless, at least you showed the spirit of not fearing power. As an oppressed class, you dared to use this method to fight against the oppressive class. Although Danick's actions were a little extreme, I admire his determination and perseverance."
Fangzheng paused for a moment.
"The Thousand Boundary Tree will not be disbanded. It will become the lighthouse of the new century and turn a new page."
"Mr. Fangzheng?"
Fiore widened her eyes when she heard this.
"I have decided, Miss Fiore."
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at Fiore.
"Once I win the Holy Grail War, I hope to be able to lead the Thousand World Tree Clan … Of course, I need your support."
"This … …."
Fiore didn't know if she was surprised or frightened. She clasped her hands tightly together and stared at Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, you really … … but why?"
"I want to change the world. I don't just mean the Thousand World Tree or the magic society, but the entire world. For that, I need power, influence, and manpower. Most importantly, we have a common ideal. The Magic Association has decayed and is no different from an ugly old woman on her deathbed. I want to overthrow the Magic Association, eliminate the so-called traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years, and rebuild a brand new order of the magic world that belongs to the new era. "
"… … This … …"
"Miss Fiore."
With that said, Fangzheng looked at Fiore again.
"Do you really think that bloodline is necessary for the magician clan?"
"That's … .for sure, right?"
Fiore didn't have any doubts about this. The magician race would inherit the Magic Imprint from generation to generation, and the Magic Imprint was something like an "organ". It was almost impossible to match with non-blood-related people. This was also why the magician race always attached great importance to bloodline.
"That's right, that's true for now, but … … it limits magicians, doesn't it? As the heir of the Thousand World Tree Clan, you should have seen many declining magic families. Don't they have the Magic Imprint? No, they have the Imprint passed down by their ancestors, but they can't control themselves to give birth to children with the bloodline of magicians who can withstand the Imprint. This is also the reason why many magic families have declined from generation to generation. Moreover, due to the rule that the magician clan can only pass on the magic to the heir, once anything happens to the heir, it may lead to the loss of the magic seal. And this.... is the biggest problem that the magician clan is currently facing, isn't it? "
"… … You're right, that's true … …"
"In the ancient past, this may have been a last resort, but … … in this era, this practice is no longer appropriate. And because of this, the nobles of the Magic Association firmly control the upper echelons of magicians … … "
Fangzheng was, of course, very clear about the situation in the Moon world. The Magic Imprint was something more important than life to any magician race, but conversely, because the Magic Imprint was an "organ", it was almost impossible to transplant it to non-blood-related people.
But if there was a large branch family, they could divide the Magic Imprint and let those who had magic qualities but didn't have a Magic Imprint obtain a part of the Magic Imprint. Although this would cause a certain amount of damage to the Magic Imprint, as long as it was nurtured, it could be healed. This also meant that as long as they paid a small price, they could obtain the loyalty of the branch family faction, as well as political and financial support.
It was precisely because of this that the power of the old nobles in the Magic Association was unprecedentedly large. So much so that those ordinary magic clans in front of them were like blades of grass facing a towering tree. Other than shivering, there was nothing they could do.
"So, I want to change the status quo."
"How … … are you going to change the status quo?"
"First of all, we have to modify the Magic Imprint and make it more adaptable. Although we don't expect to be able to transplant the Magic Imprint to anyone, at least we need to make it possible to transplant the characteristics of the Magic Imprint onto non-specific people with magic talents."
With regards to this, Fangzheng had clearly thought it through.
"Once we master this technology, we can call on the vast number of lower-class magicians, appeal to those who have the same ideals and ideas as us to join us to fight against the Magic Association. Of course, we won't want those who have a bad record or whose hands are stained with blood. We're not a paradise for criminals and exiles. We're revolutionaries who want to overthrow the decadent rule of the Magic Association and create a new era. "
"This … …!!"
Upon hearing this, Fiore felt her entire body tremble. An indescribable feeling of excitement erupted from her body. Of course, she understood how much those declining families longed for their Magic Imprint to continue to be passed down. But many times, because their families did not have enough descendants with magic talent, they could only watch as the knowledge passed down by their ancestors was erased.
That kind of heartache, that kind of pain, was simply heart-wrenching.
If the Thousand Worlds Tree really had the technology to allow non-blood-related people to transplant Magic Engravings, then Fiore believed that those small magic families that were on the verge of extinction would join them at all costs! Just to continue to pass down the Magic Imprint of their ancestors!
But … … all of this was based on the ability to modify the Magic Imprint. If it couldn't be done, then everything was just empty talk.
So the question was … … Could it be done?
This question emerged in the depths of Fiore's heart, and she immediately gave an answer.
Of course it could! As long as Fangzheng could win the Holy Grail War and obtain the third law, then modifying the Magic Imprint would not be a problem for them!
Not only that, someone as smart as Fiore had already thought of the consequences of this technology to the Magic Association once it was completed.
