I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 418
Chapter 418 – Giving Earth Some Fun
At the top of the mage tower, Louie gazed at the many apprentices who looked cheerful and excited as they wandered the tower.
Some of them were whispering in a corner with each other, some were studying in the library, some were observing the otherworldly plants and animals, and some were reviewing their homework in their dormitories. These young people brought a burst of cheer and life to this quiet magic tower where all the staff from teacher to principal were in reality just Louie.
Louie clearly knew that the governments of the world would want to know about the secrets of magic. They wanted to know how magic worked and so he tried using a demonstration to introduce the world to how to become a mage.
The knowledge he taught was absolutely correct and nothing was false. His understanding of magic as the God of Magic was extremely deep. Other than true gods, legendary mages and demigod mages would not beat him in terms of comprehension.
It could be said that Louie himself was an excellent teacher.
If someone heard Louie’s lecture in San Soliel, it was possible that an ordinary person could become an apprentice or even a mage.
But on Earth, except for the chosen people in this mage tower, humans outside could never use spells, because even if magic existed on Earth, the essence of magic did not exist.
“First, let’s teach these apprentices for a while. Then I’ll send them back home for ‘vacation’. The existence of these mage apprentices is already enough to prove the authenticity of supernatural powers, so the people of Earth would never suspect anything ever again.”
“These people from different countries had people who knew them and were recorded to exist through their birth certificates and past records on Earth. They who were once ordinary people had now learned spells. This should be enough to penetrate the hearts of ordinary people.”
These mage apprentices were hand-picked by Louie. Their ability to learn magic would feel natural to everyone. People outside the mage tower would then use the excuse that they were not talented enough to use magic when they couldn’t use it.
In fact, there were more than seven billion people on Earth, but how could there be less than two hundred people capable of learning magic? This was just Louie’s intent to exaggerate the difficulty of doing so.
To become a mage, the most important point was the ability to perceive magic power and talent. Only those who had talents could become mages, followed by their ability to learn.
This was also why there weren’t many mages in San Soliel. Additionally, training mages required a lot of money, enough talent, and the motivation to learn. These three were enough to block other people on the path of magic.
“But this situation will soon change. Once the Goddess of magic builds her magic network, the barrier to becoming a mage would be lowered. Learning ability would become the sole barrier in developing mages. From this point of view, the existence of the magic network is the best thing for true geniuses and talented people.”
Louie left the railing in front of him as he recalled the gods of San Soliel.
The entire Earth was now solely worshiping him, so there was not much pressure at all. If not, Louie would just destroy Earth’s civilization. He would not do bothersome things like playing other characters. He would just use forceful means to beat the entire world back to the age of ignorance to easily gain faith.
Still, he rejected the later plan as that would decrease Earth’s level of technology. Without enough means to feed seven billion people, why would the population have faith in him when they had nothing to eat? This simply did not meet Louie’s goal.
“I use deception to make humans on Earth think that learning magic requires faith. This decision is enough to increase the amount of faith that I can gather. This should allow me to obtain more power of order.”
Louie chuckled. He had completely exploited human greed.
When humans know that they could only learn magic by having faith, they would force themselves to have faith in the gods. Louie can then be cleverly named to incarnate billions of ways to steal parts of the faith.
Even if humans find out that believing in a god would not allow them to learn magic, faith would still become a habit and integral part of their lives.
Moreover, the meditation technique that Louie taught humans was the real deal. It was knowledge learned by the mages of San Soliel. Even if humans on Earth could not learn magic, as long as they meditate often, their body’s spirit would be energized. Once they understand these benefits, they would certainly adhere to them.
The entire human race of Earth had been played by Louie and turned into his food. Although there are some people who might be able to see through his tricks, in the presence of great power, their presence was like rootless weeds that would not be able to cause a wave.
“Hmm? The United States of America had already discovered that something was wrong with the galaxy. As expected of them to be the first to discover what I had done.”
Louie’s gaze crossed his divine kingdom and towards the North American continent. Nothing could escape the watchful eyes of a god.
In the past, Louie needed to probe before finding the energy source, but now, he had long been aware of the location of all the energy sources on Earth. If he was willing to, he could instantly retrieve them all in just a single breath of time.
However, he would not do so. He was still very wary of the Intelligent Brain. If he gave all the energy sources to it now, Louie felt that he might become its puppet. Before he was ready, Louie would not give it a chance.
Therefore, Louie decided to beat down the Intelligent Brain a little bit and give it some good things. At the same time, he could make the faith on Earth firmer.
“I used the school of magic as an answer to solve the problem of those who are still skeptical of everything. This way, the people on Earth would believe that supernatural powers can be inherited, manipulated, and learned. Next, I should give the countries something fun to play with so that they will be convinced of the existence of gods, deepen their faith, and urge the major countries to build the magic formation so that the souls of believers in this world can enter my divine kingdom.
Louie’s gaze flashed, and a series of plans took shape in his mind.

At this moment, Louie looked back and saw a little blonde girl that was less than ten years old standing timidly behind him, peeping at him with a gaze of fear and curiosity. When she saw Louie look toward her, she hastily lowered her head and her childish voice rang out, “Master Marches! Teacher Barry said you were looking for me.”
The doll-like little girl was very nervous, like a pupil who had been called to the teacher’s office. Her face was full of anxiety.
This little girl was the British royal family’s Princess Charlotte, the lucky child who ate the ‘golden apple’.
