Arcane Lord

"And the initial starting point for all of this may be the expansion of apprenticeships in the Tower of Time!"

At the end of the sentence, Xia Duo felt that he was almost moved by himself. Unexpectedly, when he lowered his head, he met Niya's weird expression when she turned to look at him.

"Um?"

Xia Duo was stunned, why did Niya look like this, but before he could ask, Niya spoke first, "Have you had such an idea for a long time?"

"Well--"

Sha Duo didn't expect that Niya's focus would be here instead of the future world he just described, but he quickly replied, "That's right! What's wrong?"

"Is what you said really possible?" Although the future world described by Sha Duo is very exciting, Niya doubts whether it can be realized.

"Why not? My hometown is such a world!"

"your hometown?"

Hearing Sha Duo mention her hometown again, Niya finally couldn't help but ask, "What kind of world is your hometown?"

Regarding this issue, Xia Duo has been prepared for it for a long time. The pure material universe must not be discussed. From Muyan's mouth, he knew that Karatu also has magic, so it is just a matter of changing the technology.

"My hometown is a country where magic is prevalent. Everyone must undergo magic enlightenment when they are 5 or 6 years old, and then enter the junior, intermediate, and advanced magic academies in sequence. If their grades are up to standard and they wish, they can also enter Higher education, you can continue your studies after graduating from higher education, but generally at this time we will choose employment, that is, find a job to support ourselves. "

"us?"

"right."

Having reached this point, Shado had no choice but to continue speaking, "I am a graduate of the College of Higher Education in my hometown, which is equivalent to a senior arcanist in Netheril!"

"No wonder you became an Arcanist so quickly!"

Niya thought quickly, but the question came again, "Since you are a senior arcanist, why do you still want to study in the Tower of Time?"

"Well, there is no magic net in my hometown, and the method of casting spells is completely different from Netheril, so I have to learn it again." Shado quickly found the reason.

Mu Yan mentioned that his hometown, which is what Nese calls Karatu, does not have a magic net. Xia Duo considers himself a native of Mu Yan's hometown, so it fits the situation when he uses it.

"All right!"

Niya reluctantly accepted this excuse and was about to ask what the world would be like without the Magic Network, but she suddenly thought of a question and stared at Xia Duo with burning eyes, "I know why some people don't want others to learn from it. It’s time for magic!”

This turn of events must be too big. Such a thought flashed through Xia Duo's mind, but he asked in agreement, "Why?"

"Look, a senior arcanist like you has to find a job on his own to support himself. How is this different from ordinary craftsmen in Savilland? There are only so many senior arcanists in Netheril. Who is willing to accept such a gap? ?”

Niya didn't know what process Shado's hometown went through to popularize magic to all the people, but she knew that it would never be easy to do this in Netheril!

After listening to Xia Duo's description just now, she wanted to keep the secret of magic tightly, but the prosperous world really attracted her. Perhaps Xia Duo's hometown was created by the unremitting efforts of countless people who longed for magic and a prosperous age. Such a world!

"Don't ever think about others talking about your hometown again!" Niya reminded Xia Duo seriously.

"I know."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Anyone with a little vision can see that the more frequent the exchanges, the more magical knowledge will spread and the more spellcasters will be. At the same time, the frequent emergence of geniuses will also make some existing high-ranking people feel uneasy. .

There is also a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Although boiling a frog in warm water may not really be feasible, it reflects true human nature. As long as it is passable and profitable at the moment, not many people will pay attention to it. long.

This may be called the general trend. If you want to go against the general trend, you don't know how much effort you have to put in. Moreover, not everyone chooses to be conservative, which is another big boost.

A single spark can start a prairie fire, and the most difficult thing is the initial moment of gaining momentum. But even if the general trend has not yet formed, Xia Duo is full of confidence. He believes that progress is the desire engraved in the bones of any living thing.

No matter how conservative a person is, if he encounters various new theories, new spells, and new business opportunities that are thrown at him, he will probably greet them cheerfully and then see if there are any more.

If you want to completely keep the secret of magic, unless there is a powerful person who can conquer everyone, magic will eventually spread. This is also an important reason why Sha Duo firmly believes that magic civilization can be formed in the future.

To put it bluntly, unless God stands up to stop it, development and progress will eventually become the mainstream, and magical civilization will inevitably emerge.

Netheril's conservatism in recent years is actually not the mainstream, but the sequelae of the theft of the [Scroll of Netheril]. Now the turning point of the times has been reached.

Xia Duo was extremely convinced.

As for worrying about the frequent emergence of geniuses after the popularity of magic, there is no need to worry about it. Netheril is not a society completely dominated by power. Instead, various rules are dominant, and even the great arcanists must obey. under the rules.

The rules here are not objective and immutable theorems and laws, but social rules that are intertwined with human feelings, legal principles, and so on. As long as you still have human nature, love, hate, and hatred, you will be under the rules.

As the current ruler and rule maker of Netheril, there is really no reason to worry about latecomers. It is just that the rules will be stricter in the future.

Even if the latecomers make it to the end, they are just one more member of the ruling class.

Are there too few rulers in Netheril now?

As long as there is no strong person who can overwhelm everyone, compromise and discussion are basically indispensable, just like the current Austrian Law Federation.

Of course, although the Arcanist is considered a member of the ruling class, only by becoming a Grand Arcanist can one become a true ruler, which is different from Earth.

The rulers on the earth do not have power requirements, but the magical world does, at least at this stage, and the proportion is very large.

…

Standing in front of the window of Niya's study, Xia Duo's field of vision flew far away. Not only was the development scene of the Daxia citizens in front of him, but also countless future scenes were intertwined in his mind, forming a predictable near future.

"Maybe we need to upgrade as soon as possible!"

At the moment, he can still influence the environment of Netheril through some small actions, but as the environment changes more and more, his identity as a pioneer lord and a new arcanist is no longer appropriate.

Chateau needs a stronger identity, and more—

Comrade!
