Cthulhu Gonfalon

"In order to improve people's living standards and create new magic?" In the Chamber of the "Shelter" of the Kingdom of God, the goddess of the sea, the highest goddess of magic, sank in a smile, nodded with a smile, "This is a good The idea to improve the living standards of believers is not only conducive to consolidating their beliefs, but also to strengthen their strengths - when their power is strong, they can promote the expansion of faith and embark on a benign cycle."

Yan Xiong stunned, and did not expect that He would think of this direction, but it would be relieved to think about it. If there is a goal, there will be motivation, there will be income, and there will be enthusiasm. If you can benefit from the people, Let friends get the benefits, isn't that the best result?

"Yeah," he said with a smile. "So I think everyone can unite and sum up the troubles in people's lives that can be solved with magic, and then invent the targeted magic."

"I don't think this is a good idea." Joel Gardman, the **** of justice who always wears a shabby, shook his head and splashed cold water. "The spelling itself is a difficult thing, and the caster needs to train." A lot of time and resources. If you spend such a large amount of resources, just to solve some urgent problems, it is a waste."

"The total ratio can't be solved," said the wealth goddess Mannes. "There is no way to be better."

"This idea is too naive." Jorga Deman sighed. "You think that the human resources of the current caster are roughly concentrated in the hands of the three forces. The first share of the natural is the religion, but the gods. Hostile to each other, the priests' ability to cast spells, except for preaching, is mostly spent in meaningless confrontation. In fact, there is not much resources to be able to."

Seeing everyone nodded slightly, he went on to say: "The second is aristocratic, because the caster itself needs to consume money, so often only the aristocrats and merchant families can afford it. And after the businessman has the ability to cast spells, most will seek aristocratic identity. Similarly, many scholars and adventurers who are born of adventurers will also pursue aristocratic identity. For example, there are a large number of settlers who settled in the Federation of the Federation of the French Federation, but as long as they reach the middle class, there is almost no aristocratic identity. ... So in the final analysis, the second force is the nobility."

"The nobles did not care about the lives and deaths of the civilians. Although they also had such outstanding and outstanding people as the late Baron Keane, most of the nobles stood in a hostile position with the people. The magic to improve the standard of living was not in the past. They also have a lot of mastery, but why do they use these spells to benefit the civilians? I never thought about it!"

The gods are a little dazed and sigh.

"The last force is the adventurer, they are strong, but they are a loose sand, lacking even the most basic organization. They may be a powerful force when they are doing damage, but they can build it... they can't. How can we get those who pursue freedom to settle down for a long time and work for ordinary civilians? Do you have a solution?"

The gods thought for a while, look at me, I look at you, shaking their heads.

Jorga Deman spoke a lot in a long speech, and finally took a big sip of the wine glass and summed up his point of view: "Overall, I think that the 'magic of improving living standards' has been studied. Most of them will not produce the effect of improving people's living standards, but will become a tool for aristocrats to enjoy."

He said that the head is the word, and everyone can't help but fall into meditation.

To say something about mortal society, no one among the gods can compare with Jorga Deman. He is not only born in the bottom society of mortals, but also always walks in the land like a mortal. The sorrows and sorrows of mortals, the good and evil in the red dust, He has seen too much. The rest of the gods on the scene add up to the human world, I am afraid there is no more of him.

Since He believes that the magic that improves the standard of living will only become a tool for aristocratic pleasure, things will probably develop in this way.

However, Yan Xiong is not reconciled.

He feels that magic is like the technology on earth. If you only serve a few people, you will never want to have any energy. If you want magic to usher in great development and promote the progress of society as a whole, let the power of magic serve the public and popularize magic to the general public.

However, Jorga Deman is right. Learning magic requires talent and resources. It is like two high thresholds, ruthlessly shutting out most ordinary people, so that they can not enjoy the benefits of magic. Correspondingly, who has crossed these two thresholds, why should they condescend to serve ordinary people?

(How is this problem solved on Earth?)

He pondered hard and tried to find a solution.

On the earth, those backward areas are not mentioned for the time being, but in all the more advanced and developed areas, basically everyone must learn scientific knowledge. In fact, the vast majority of people, what they are learning from the real "science frontier" is actually far away - taking Xiong Xiong himself as an example, he is a good college student, from primary school to university I have been studying for 16 years. But the scientific knowledge he has learned can only be said to belong to the level of the mainstream of society. If you want to engage in scientific research... See if he tries to make a blast furnace and explodes so many times and finally fails, you know that it is far away.

So, on earth, how do people solve the problem of "can't keep up with the pace of science?"

The vast majority of people on the planet do not have the ability to turn science into productivity, but they can still enjoy the convenience of science without any obstacles. What is the key?

Yan Xiong frowned and thought hard.

(On Earth, when technology first appeared, it seemed to be used as a tool for enjoyment by a few rich people and nobles? I remember that we also have an idiom called "what is so clever" in China, which describes this...)

(I don't know about things in Europe, but everyone has two eyes and one mouth, one pair of arms and two legs. There should be no big difference in practice.)

(So, when was the technology started to be heavily transferred to civilian use?)

At this time, he regretted that he did not study history in the past.

If you are a history major, this kind of thing is not a handy one? If you want to manage the country, you can't help yourself!

Ugh! Why is it that you are engaged in art? What is the use of art at this time! Even on Earth, the Renaissance relies on the support of the merchant class!

(Wait! Renaissance?! Merchant?!)

There was a flash of light in the mind of Yan Xiong, and the sudden inspiration made him unable to bear to be grateful that he did not skip classes to play games when he first studied art history.

(I remembered! The key to the popularization of technology is also the merchants, or the promotion of capital! I said at the beginning of the class that the Renaissance and the industrial revolution are all manifestations of the development of capitalist society to a certain extent, destroying and destroying the old feudal system. !)

(God! I really want to thank Professor Cheng, who looks a little like Leslie Cheung. He always likes to talk about other things when he talks about art history. At that time, I only thought that he was very interesting. Now it’s all recalled by scholars of all ages. The crystal of the heart!)

(Unfortunately, the professor did not talk about how to make a blast furnace...)

He couldn't help but smile secretly, and he already had a plan in his heart.

"This thing, really want Mannis to help you." He said, "Your believers have the most businessmen, and businessmen are pursuing profits, just let them discover new profit points, plus the promotion of your church. I think there is hope for this."

Manis looked at him with a puzzled look: "Businessmen are pursuing profits, which I know, but why do you think that businessmen can take on such a big responsibility? They can only exist in the aristocracy, even if they are developed. And will only choose to become a new aristocrat."

He said with a sigh: "In the gold coin federation, wealth symbolizes status. But the rich people still spend a lot of money and time to seek for aristocratic identity for themselves. Just wealth is not enough."

"That is because the nobility can bring privilege, and the merchants can have more money, and wealth can not bring enough power." Yan Xiong said with a smile, "This problem can be solved slowly. What we are going to do now is to create Some magic that not only improves people's lives, but also gives merchants full profits."

He turned to look at everyone: "The threshold for learning this kind of magic can't be too high, otherwise it will lose its meaning. The cost should not be too high, otherwise it will be difficult to get profits from the civilians. As for the rest, it is necessary Let us take the helm."

"Yes, there is no limit to the pursuit of profits by businessmen, so we need to use laws to limit them." The **** of law, Brans nodded first. "It is also necessary to strengthen supervision and avoid the law."

"I think it's best to keep this set of spells in the direction of good deity." Jorga Deman said, "Good priesthood is the most reliable force. Controlling spells in this direction can directly eliminate many dangers. Molecules, avoiding a lot of potential troubles."

"Finally, and most importantly." Yan Xiong smiled and said with great confidence, "We must strictly control the scope of use of these spells, and we must not blindly promote it on a large scale, and we must popularize it little by little."

“It’s better to start with the Northwestern Republic. There is no aristocratic power here to avoid interference.”

At this time, he remembered many sages on the earth, and remembered some famous arguments: "In the future, if we have any new ideas, we may wish to draw a small area to practice, which is called ... SAR. ”

The gods looked at each other and nodded.

So things are settled.
