For several days since Tenia returned to the ruins on the 9th, Lant, Ben Call and Tenia were all in the underground ruins, but everyone had a different focus. Tenia flew around the magic furnace, Ben Call is studying the magic circles on the walls of the 5th underground floor, while Lant is soaking in the 6th underground floor. Sometimes he goes to the 6th underground floor to see the various big guys there, and sometimes he just stays in the magic furnace room. In a daze outside.
"What are you thinking about?" Ben Call suddenly saw Lant in a daze and asked curiously.
"I have a question recently that I haven't figured out yet." This question has been stuck in Lant's mind since he came back from the New Industrial Zone.
"I feel like in our empire, the subjects are redundant under certain circumstances?"
"Well, why do you have such a question?" Ben looked at Lant who was thinking seriously, neither confirming nor denying his words.
"Look, if you want to build, you can go directly to the big earth-type goblins; if you want to farm, the food yield from the land in the south with the big goblins and magic facilities is much higher than what I farmed on the Galloping Horse Plains. ; If we talk about the production industry and the development of steel smelting, it is similar to the huge magic facility in the new industrial zone. The smelting capacity is many times higher than my small furnace." Lant himself counted the agriculture, industry and construction industries in detail, Once you have magic, human labor efficiency will be completely outcompeted.
"If I only need magic, what else do I need for my subjects?" The impact of magic on Rand's values is far greater than the material impact. In Rant's current view, the nobles are actually using magic to support their subjects. civil.
"Of course you need subjects. Even if there is magic to solve everything, you still need blood inheritance. The subjects are not only your subjects, but also your relatives who are connected by blood." The subjects that Ben Call said, It refers to the people directly under the majority of the nobles. For Lant, it is the people under the Galloping Horse family.
"So the subjects are just part of the nobility's property related to their bloodline? Then what are we, the small nobles,? The bloodline and territorial property of the big nobles?" After hearing Ben Calder's explanation, Lant found it even more difficult to accept.
"Lant!" Ben Kaur heard what Lant meant, and felt that the young man from the Galloping Horse family in front of him had some signs of collapse, so he immediately shouted loudly to stabilize Lant's mind.
"I know that this may be difficult for you to accept. But I want to tell you that when you continue to make breakthroughs and promotions, and are able to see more truths about this world and explore a more real world, you will It is discovered that the relationship between the subjects and the lord is not a relationship of support or support, but a symbiotic relationship. This may not sound as nice as in the aristocratic books, but even in the most real and cruel situations, the two are inseparable ." The mage put his hands on Lant's shoulders to steady his emotions.
Symbiosis? Isn’t that still a collaboration between two creatures? Therefore, even for the most cutting-edge Tower of Purity, they believe that once the bloodline is activated, there are two kinds of creatures between those who have demons and those who do not have demons. Those who go to their hometown to join the masses will never return. not going.
Rant calmed down. He no longer discussed this profound issue with Ben, but went to contact Magic himself.
Rant doesn't like this kind of world, but he is just an intermediate knight. Now he is lucky enough to have found a former royal capital, but even so, he is no more than a human magister and a beast scroller of orcs. It's just an insect.
If you want to reject the rules of the world, you can only become stronger yourself first. Although there is no guidance from Tenia these days, the magic environment in the underground space is relatively good. Lant's daily training of fighting spirit and magic is faster than before. After a few days of practice, his lighting technique can already illuminate. In a space of tens of meters around and lasting for 10 minutes, the size and launch range of the fireball more than doubled.
Among all the girls who studied with Ben Kaul, the highest-level ones were Wendy and Little Red Bird, both junior mages. But Little Red Bird actually had the worst foundation and lowest potential among all the girls. She only obtained Queen of Ye Qicheng
The "experience package" broke through instantly. Little Cardinal learned it for two days and realized that there was no way he could understand it, so he followed Kaiyin to deliver meals to Lant every day and practiced spells with Lant.
. . On the 11th, Mace Frostwolf and Obert finally sailed the ship to the docks in the south and east of Yeqi City and delivered all the goods.
On the night of the 12th, Lant organized a grand bonfire dinner outside the cellar to celebrate the territory's move into Yeqi City.
The barbarians, knights and girls from the song and dance group sang several songs newly composed by Lant. At dinner, Tenia just showed his face. The magic goblin didn't need to eat or sleep. His appearance was just to let more demons in the territory get to know him, and then he hurried back to the underground ruins to continue studying. Lant's recent mood Not good, send Tania away if she wants to leave.
"Wendy, Sophia, are you willing to go to the Imperial Capital with me?" After Rant left, Ben Call formally asked the two girls around him,
"I know the magisters of the Tower of Purity, and I believe they are willing to take students like you. With your potential, you can break through to the high level in the Tower of Purity in just a few years!"
"Teacher, thank you for your kindness. I don't want to leave here." Wendy's expression was very firm. Sophia just glanced at Wendy and said quickly
"Like Sister Wendy, I don't want to leave here."
"Well, you have to think clearly. Staying here may seem lively, but you may never be able to break through to a high level." Ben sighed,
"Even if you can use the training circle and reach a high level, your understanding of magic is still incomparable to that of the magicians of the Tower of Purity. Today's magic has entered the arcane stage and is no longer as simple as it was hundreds of years ago. The theory of magic elements. The entire magic theory system is based on mathematics. It is an arcane palace built over hundreds of years. Not only that, today's magic theory has new changes every day, and changes in a few years. Even subversive.”
"In the Imperial City, the study of magic theory has been divided into multiple schools. Each school explores the mysteries of magic from different angles." At this point, the topic changed.
"But what can you have in this ruins? You can't even find this textbook here, let alone the magic towers and magic resources that support many magisters." Ben Call's words were very sincere, What he said was completely true, but it was a pity that several girls were completely unmoved. Only Peter Maned Wolf, who was not far away from him, heard the problem and went to teach Lant after a while.
