Early September 1916, near Surabaya, Java Island.

In other words, Surabaya, which you may be familiar with, has a typical tropical island climate. The climate is warm and humid, the vegetation is lush, and the products are rich. Even because the products are so rich, the local indigenous people have developed a lazy character.

Legend has it that when a local indigenous family has a child, they will plant two tropical fruit trees for the child so that the child will not go hungry for the rest of his life.

Of course, Lu Yi didn't know whether this legend was correct. The lazy character of the local indigenous people was actually largely related to the sultry climate conditions.

However, there is a characteristic here that makes Lu Yi aim his first target here.

That is, since the Song Dynasty, a large number of Chinese have been living here in Surabaya. Among these Chinese, there are big families with good conditions. Their families own ships and industries. The contiguous plantations are full of cash crops. Even the colonial authorities want

Only by cooperating with them can the benefits of the colony be guaranteed.

"But this is only a small part. The life of most Chinese immigrants is not so good. They get up early every day, do the most tiring work, and receive the most vicious scoldings. They can only earn enough to feed the whole family. In this way, every day

The first time they were purged by the indigenous people, they were the first to suffer."

Richard, who was hiding in a grove near a plantation with Lu Yi, frowned and asked with some confusion: "Then why did these people leave their hometowns and immigrate to this place with such harsh climate conditions?"

Lu Yi was silent for a moment and said: "Because in my hometown, they get up early and work hard at night, but they can't even hope to have enough to eat."

Richard showed an expression of sudden realization: "I understand, Mr. Lu Yi, this is just like the free people who fled from the nobles. They fled to the factories in big cities to suffer and suffer for a short time, but in the

If you live in your hometown, you may not even be able to survive the next winter."

Listening to what Richard said, Lu Yi immediately understood what stage the current society in the world of arcane magic, at least under the Arcane Council, has developed to. This is the embryonic stage of capitalism, but there are magic and

With extraordinary power like Dou Qi, social changes may be different from those on Earth.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi was a little curious: "What do you think about these?"

Richard glanced at Lu Yi strangely: "Me? What can I think? Mr. Lu Yi, there is nothing you can do about it. People without qualifications can only have this fate. If you want to change all this, the only way is the great arcane magic."

Masters, please take a step further and defeat the church will be possible."

Saying this, Richard showed a smile: "Of course, now we have seen the dawn - with your blessing, the Speaker is expected to go one step further and become an unprecedented demigod in the history of mages. By then, all problems will be solved

It’s easy to solve.”

Seeing Richard looking so confident, Lu Yi chuckled and said, "Well, yes, everything will be fine, but not only because of Mr. Cavendish's promotion, the same will happen to me.

In these five years, I will give you another hope."

Richard didn't understand what Lu Yi meant, but Lu Yi didn't mean to explain it in detail. He just told him to read more in the future and think about the future development of Chengtian Island, and then he would understand.

After chatting, Lu Yi looked at the night sky. If it was a place with developed industrial industry in Europe, he might not be able to see the Milky Way all over the sky at this time.

But on the island of Java, which has few industries and even only some light industries, you can still see the Milky Way across the entire sky at night, and the twinkling stars fill the entire sky. Coupled with the round moon, it can be said that, At this time, even if you have night blindness, you can still see the road under your feet clearly in this night.

Lu Yi glanced behind him. In addition to the 18 battle mages led by Richard, Saeko, Rika, Yuriko and Lian Nanxi also rarely appeared here. However, at this time, these twenty or so people came through. The clothes are very strange.

The 18 mages did not wear the kind of battle robes with many pockets, but wore black and white Taoist uniforms, and each of them added a layer of yellow disguise to make others look like someone. It seems that the Taoist priests from the Taoist Palace went on a group trip.

Saeko is dressed in a Japanese samurai uniform and carries a sword at her waist. She looks like a majestic and beautiful samurai girl. Especially the corners of her eyes, which are new to human life, add a touch of charm to Saeko.

Uraraka and Yuriko are wearing the hunting clothes of the Onmyoji from the anime, while Nancy Lian is wearing a red and white miko uniform.

Coupled with the fact that Lu Yi is wearing a domestic game warrior cosplay suit customized by a modern small factory, the whole person is shining with golden light and majestic. Standing together makes people think that he has broken into the lair of some monsters and monsters.

Li Xiang tugged on the hunting clothes that she was not used to wearing, and said to Lu Yi: "Hurry up, although there is a magic effect to drive away mosquitoes, but I am really not used to wearing these clothes, so finish your errands and go home to sleep."

Lian Nanxi looked at her flat red and white miko uniform, stretched out her scarlet hakama, and looked at Lu Yi expressionlessly: "Haha, you asked me to wear such clothes, don't think I don't understand otaku culture. "

"Don't worry, I'll add a buff." Lu Yi ignored the complaints of several girls and gave an order to Richard: "Mr. Richard, please use [Levitation Technique] collectively on this ship."

Richard looked at the alloy boat that suddenly appeared in the jungle and knocked down several small trees. He nodded, and he and his seventeen other partners jointly cast a spell on this small boat with a displacement of almost a hundred tons. [Levitation Technique].

"Your Excellency Lu Yi, in our [Thunder Eagle] team, I am the only senior mage. I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the guidance of joint spellcasting at the 18-person level."

Lu Yi patted Richard on the shoulder: "Don't worry, leave the guidance task to me. Anyway, we just need it as a more impactful debut."

Richard looked at Lu Yi with some surprise. There were 18 people working together to guide spells. Even if there were only 17 intermediate mages and 1 senior mage, it meant that Lu Yi at least had to have the spirit of a quasi-great magician. Only with strength can we guide.

However, Richard then thought about it. Although the man in front of him was young, he was after all regarded as an equal by multiple levels of great arcanists. It was not too strange to have such a talent.

I don’t know if Richard would faint in surprise if he knew that Lu Yi had achieved the dual achievements of Sky Knight and Semi-substantialization of the Spiritual World within three months - even if it was assisted by related rituals, then It's shocking enough.

The former means that Lu Yi's talent is astonishing, and he is expected to be legendary in at least the knight's path and the mage's path. The latter means that Lu Yi's face is valuable enough to invite five great arcanists to waste precious months to serve him exclusively.

This person.
