However, Xie Yuan really has nothing to hide.
"My world...or the world where Ciri met me, it was a world without the magic here, but with many years of technological research."
Seeing Geralt and Vesemir looking at him attentively, Xie Yuan opened up and said: "After years of development and the continuous flow of wealth, my era no longer has the land aristocracy and kingdom on the surface. —Replaced by another level of ruler: democratically elected leaders.”
"No... no king?!" Vesemir was still a little surprised.
"There are still monarchs and nobles in some places...but they are few, and they cannot have too much influence." Xie Yuan explained, "This is inevitable as human society continues to evolve in terms of distribution methods, and there is no need for this. All the fuss.
"Oh...Okay, please continue." Although Vesemir's face was still in shock, he still remained calm. Geralt did a little better than the old witcher...but not much.
"But this does not prevent our world from being still dark - there are no kings and nobles, but there are still more ruthless and smart squeezers. They control most of the wealth in the world, and thus control most of the technology. To become a master, more ordinary people can only be coerced and squeezed by the great development of science and technology, year after year, day after day."
"This power... is called capital, and their agents are abnormally developed, very large consortiums, companies, and enterprises - but they not only control a large amount of production means, but also have enough They use military force to protect themselves, you can even call them warlords."
“When Xili met me, I happened to be the chairman of one of the companies in this world—you can understand it as the president of a business guild, but with a military power as large as Temeria. Xie Yuan tried his best to explain in a language they could understand.
"So..." Geralt looked sideways at Xie Yuan, "Are you still a de facto king?"
"No, I can't reach this level. One of my opponents, the guy who will soon become an enemy, is a businessman in the true sense and the emperor of a super conglomerate business empire."
Xie Yuan shook his head and denied Geralt's speculation: "At that time, I was more like Natalis, who had considerable influence on a territory, but was powerless with Nilfgaard. "
"Then how did you meet Ciri?" Vesemir returned to the topic.
"Well, you also know now that I was not strong enough at the time, so for the expansion of my power, I had to overtake in corners and accumulate enough power as quickly as possible. So I focused on technology - to be precise, I was We are prepared to use technology to analyze space travel and strive to achieve practicality as soon as possible."
"Technology can also affect space like magic?!" This shocked Geralt and he asked.
In his mind, technology was now confused with magic... Although in a sense, this was indeed true.
"Of course. I have even seen successful cases and even have research foundations. The only thing I need to do is to restore the entire process as much as possible."
But at this time, Xie Yuancai sighed helplessly: "I spent a lot of money to build the entire experimental device, but when I actually turned it on... the next moment, a little girl in white suddenly came from the other side of the door. Rush in from one side!"
"It didn't scare me to death!"
