I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

"No! That happened so long ago, why do you keep talking about it? It's because of something else..."

Koi, whose rhythm was disrupted by Medea, complained a few words, and a lot of the frustration in his heart was released.

Medea was intrigued by him: "Oh? What could make you, a lawless little bully, behave like this?"

"I want to apply to a military academy, but my mother doesn't agree... Sister, can you help me talk to her?"

"Hiss, this has stumped me. How dare I say this? Do you think you are the only one who is afraid of mother?"

Medea looked at him speechlessly. Is it okay for her to say that? What the hell do you want?

Given Astar's current external environment, soldiers are 100% committed to the battlefield. Who would dare to say that the only male in the Astar family should be allowed to join the army?

You have to know that Astar’s current military recruitment policy does not allow the only son in the family to join the army. This would be fine if nothing happened, but it would be really cruel if something happened.

"I don't care. I'm going to go anyway whether she agrees or not!"

OK, OK, the rebellious period has arrived and the problem child is applying to go to war!

Chapter 33: Revitalize the family? Start with having many children!

In the dining room of the manor, four people sat together eating. Alyssa's eyes were moist, with a few red marks at the corners of her eyes, obviously she had just finished crying.

Betty looked left and right while eating with a curious look, while Koi glanced at Medea who was eating with his head down from time to time with an anxious look on his face.

The young man couldn't hide his thoughts, and everything showed on his face. His gaze was so obvious that the other two people at the table also looked at her.

Medea secretly used magic to send a message to Koi, and said angrily: "No, what are you looking at? I think it's a bit presumptuous of you to let me speak at this time. I'm just your sister~"

Two generations of men in the Astar family who had served in the army never returned alive from the battlefield. The only reason Alyssa was able to hold on was because she had two little ones to take care of.

Koi was the only male of Medea's generation. How could she speak up for him? Not explicitly opposing him was a sign of respect for the kid.

Koi's face fell when he heard that. He poked the rice in the bowl hard with the chopsticks in his hand, looking full of resentment.

The meal ended hastily in this weird atmosphere. No one was in the mood to chat, so they all went back to their rooms after sitting for a while.

It was late at night, and there was a gentle knock on Alyssa’s door: “Mom, it’s me.”

"Come in~"

Alyssa, who was sitting on the balcony drinking tea, responded, the door slowly opened, and Medea, wearing silk pajamas, walked in.

"What's up?"

"It's so late, and I saw that you still had the light on in your window, so I thought I'd come to see you."

Mitia did not sit in the seat opposite her, but leaned sideways with Alyssa and squeezed together with her: “Are you thinking about that brat Koy?”

Alyssa chuckled when she heard this, and touched Medea’s smooth hair: “Heh, I knew he would ask you to speak for him.”

"actually..."

Mitia said carefully: "He is only twelve or thirteen years old now. It is actually a good thing for him to go to a military school and receive military training. After all, the world is different now. If he only has brute force, he will easily suffer losses."

"When he grows up and really joins the army, I can let him do some civilian work, but his promotion will be slow and limited."

All the middle and senior cadres of Astar, no matter what job they are engaged in, have a common starting point, that is, they must have worked in the border defense forces.

Military transfer documents require soldiers to be sent down to the grassroots level to study for two years.

To put it bluntly, no matter what this person will be like in the future, he must clearly understand the hardships and needs of the grassroots, and have the most basic knowledge of the military, so as not to cultivate a useless person who is out of touch with reality.

So Mitia would say that there are certain restrictions on promotion, because if Koy does not go down to the front-line troops, his resume will not pass the assessment. This principle was set by her and she would not break it.

"I understand what you mean, but...some things, once started, you can't take them back, just like your father."

Alyssa recalled her past experiences and said in a daze.

Medea was speechless for a moment. It was indeed true. Once something started, it was no longer up to her to decide what to do next.

Not to mention the various variables brought about by a person’s own independent personality.

It's okay if you don't join the army and enter the system, no one will interfere with what your family does

But once Koy comes in, his biological sister behind him is the current supreme ruler. How can others not wonder if this is training a future successor?

And if a war really breaks out, all the people are watching you, and they won’t care whether your brother is a civilian or not. So should she send her brother to the front line?

If she didn't send them, some would say she was putting on a show and instigating other people's children to go to the front to die.

Send? If he came back alive, someone would say she was very cunning and sent her brother to the front line to gain experience.

If the worst happens and Koy fails to come back and dies, how will she face her mother?

Don’t say that no one dares to say anything with her current reputation. Just because people don’t dare to say it doesn’t mean they can’t think that way in their hearts.

Things seemed to have come to a dead end, and the atmosphere in the room was somewhat stagnant.

At this moment, Mitia suddenly had an idea: "Mom, if he is determined to go to military school and then join the army, why not just let him get married when he is old enough? We can raise a trumpet!"

"what?"

"what?!"

Two screams, one big and one small, were heard, one from Alyssa and the other from outside the door.

"Good boy! You are eavesdropping, little brother!"

"..."

Koi opened the door and walked in with a red face. He glared at his cheap sister Mitia, then he mustered up the courage to look his mother in the face and said:

"Mom, I understand that you are worried about my safety, but I feel that I must join the army! In the future, I will stand where they can all see me! Because I am a child of the Astaire family!"

"I am also the younger brother of Commander Medea! If I don't go, who will? I want to make my family glorious again with my own abilities!"

Facing the words of the passionate young man Koi, Alyssa replied lightly: "So you agree with what your sister said?"

"Well....."

"You can go to military school. If you don't join the army, I have no problem with who you like in the future. You can get married anytime you want."

Koi: “….”

"If you want to join the army to prove your worth and revitalize the family, then good, you should start by revitalizing the family members! I will choose a suitable wife for you. By the way, Medea, you didn't stipulate that I can only marry one, right?"

Mitia was stunned for a moment when asked: "Uh, no, but legally we only recognize that the status of the registered wife is protected by law, and the others... we don't care!"

How many women a man marries depends on his own ability, and Medea has no control over it. Even if she does, women will find ways to take advantage of it. Moreover, this place has been poisoned by the nobles for a long time, and it is difficult to change its mindset in a short period of time.

She simply changed her thinking and strengthened the status of wives recognized by the law and the public to achieve resource equality, which is already a huge progress.

Koi: “…”

"Okay, that's settled. It all depends on your choice. Koi, get out now and don't disturb my conversation with your sister."

"Also, eavesdropping on conversations between ladies is extremely ungentlemanly."

Alyssa ordered Koy, who was humming and unable to speak for a long time, to leave. He could only walk out of his mother's room in a daze.

"Looking at him like this, he probably hasn't given up the idea of ​​joining the army yet, ah~"

Alyssa sighed, with a trace of worry on her face again.

Mitia comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much. Even if he really goes to the battlefield, with our current strength, the living environment of the soldiers is actually very good. I don't think his risk factor is very high."

"Medya, do you know why I wanted to send you to the other side of the sea to study? Because the mainland is the paradise for magicians! The magic elements there are a hundred times more abundant than here."

"They are not like us, where even the lowest-level magicians can get a title. In their place, these low-level magicians are just ordinary people."

Medea's hair stood on end when she heard that, and she subconsciously retorted, "That's not right! The Principality of Puelentera that we trade with doesn't have many magicians either!"

"That's because you only see the side close to the sea. The ocean suppresses the activity range and density of magic elements. We are surrounded by the ocean on all sides, so naturally we are the area with the lowest element density."

"!"

Chapter 34 Medea also wants a cat girl!

"What about me? Why am I improving so fast? What about my grandfather? Why is he so strong?"

Medea felt as if she didn't know as much about the world as she thought.

"Your grandfather was also suppressed, but he was of a higher rank so it was less severe. And you... do you know why witches are called the darlings of magic? Because other magicians drive the elements."

"Witches are naturally friendly to elements. They will subconsciously gather around you. That's why you are not restricted. It's because the world loves you and because the goddess of magic dotes on you."

Alyssa touched her smooth face, her face full of pride.

Medea was unaware of her mother's actions. She was thinking about what her mother said. The world loved her, but was what she was doing right or wrong?

No, no! You shouldn't think like this.

What she did was right, magic was right, it was this society that was wrong!

If there really is a God in this world

She hopes to see a sick society where the vast majority of people live in a lifeless state and only a small number of people live in extravagance and debauchery.

Or is it a completely new era, where magic is used to benefit society as a whole rather than serving a particular group?

Must be the latter!

Because if it is love, it should be passed on. A single flower does not make spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together make spring!

The capital of Ovinia, the headquarters of the Holy See, and the Cathedral of Saint Val

The church's magnificent spire soars into the sky, as if connected to the sky, solemn and majestic. The patterns and carvings on the unique central arch are exquisite.

Saint Speer entered the cathedral surrounded by a group of believers. The grand corridors and altar inside were breathtaking.

The gorgeous painted glass, stone carvings and arch details everywhere demonstrate the exquisite artistic attainments.

On the marble altar in the center, Pope Olgovich was leading a group of nuns with their eyes closed in prayer to the statue of the goddess. The moonlight shone through the glazed windows, casting colorful rays of light around the statue of the goddess, making her look hazy.

The uniform and rhythmic prayers echoing inside the church make everything seem even more magnificent and mysterious.

The marble altar is the core of the church. The gorgeous carvings and exquisite patterns depict various myths and legends about the goddess as well as sacred stories. Every piece of stone contains the beauty of art.

This cathedral is the pinnacle of the art of the seven great nations, and is a perfect work that the craftsmen who built it were proud of throughout their lives.

The saint and her entourage walked to the high altar, bowed reverently, and knelt down, closing their eyes and praying along with the Pope.

After a long time, the noise gradually died down, and Pope Olgovich finally opened his eyes, looked at the saint who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "How is it?"
