Evil will not deceive you

"You should know very well that for those kings and nobles, they only need one or two powerful mages, but for our Majesty, what he wants is for everyone to become mages, no, strictly Basically, he wanted to open the knowledge in this world to everyone and give everyone the opportunity to learn these things.”

Modera shrugged and picked up her tea.

"As for us, in his eyes, he is someone who has knowledge but is unwilling to share it, uses money and other methods to control the outflow of knowledge, and selfishly uses his magic knowledge to make profits... In his eyes, Dara However, it is not so much an academic organization as it is a kingdom of mages... Although we have been one for a long time, I think there are still many people who think that Dalaran is an academic organization, one with its own army and its own taxes. The system, laws, as well as the excessive legality of our own government members and electoral system, in his eyes, we archmages are actually similar to those lords."

Modera told the truth of what she saw, and this truth silenced everyone.

No one who can become a mage is really a fool, because for a mage, mathematics is something that must be learned, and those who can learn mathematics and create their own spells, that is, their own algorithms, have a higher IQ and thinking ability. All have received adequate training.

"...In other words, we have no way out?"

Kalai took a deep breath. He wanted to control his emotions. He didn't understand what happened. Suddenly, they changed from advanced people who had the right to speak the truth and discourse in the world to backward people.

Five or six years ago, they were the vanguard of changing the world and the most advanced spokesperson in the world. But now, suddenly, they have become backward and need to be defeated. The whole world has changed.

Although a mage shouldn't be afraid of change, this change in status and cognition is too shocking, so he doesn't quite understand it.

"That adult is not targeting us as individuals, nor one of our organizations, but all of us, or the 'old mage group'. What he wants is for all of us to bow our heads and obey his rules, not his The world will blend in with our world, and we can just make do together.”

Ansrem Ruinvivor spread his hands, looked at the potion master Kale, who was much younger than him, and then chuckled.

"You're too conservative, Karai."

Aren’t you a fucking conservative? !

Kalai glared at Ansrem Ruinvivor fiercely. This old mage could not be more conservative. As a result, the conservative now accused himself of being a radical who was too conservative! What kind of world is this?

but……

I thought about my own trade routes, the students who worked for me, the various semi-finished materials that I could make without using my hands, and the willingness to get a little bit of advice from me and the opportunity to create new potions. Karai was still reluctant to part with the mage apprentice who volunteered to be a guinea pig or to do other things.

Reluctant to give up privileges and status.

He has carefully studied Li Ke's education system and the way he treats mages, so he is very sure that if he bows to Li Ke, these will disappear.

Thousands of gold coin trade routes will disappear. Those working students will take courses in the academy and learn various advanced spells and potion formulas based on their usual performance and exam results. Human experiments can only recruit those who are real. Volunteers, and there is strict review, and it is not possible for an apprentice who has been transformed by magic to come directly with a hint and a little temptation.

His superior status will disappear, and he can become a person worthy of respect, but if he becomes a teacher and recruits students, he will not be able to obtain the huge benefits and political status he currently has.

And if he wants to gain political status and benefits, then he will not be able to recruit enough students.

But if he becomes a professor first and then an official, he will be laid off after only a few years as an official, and there is no way he can earn enough benefits for himself!

Moreover, officials who want to be Li Ke cannot continue to be officials within three generations, not to mention immediate family members cannot be in business. Although Li Ke’s salary is very high and there is even a good salary increase policy, basically Your own children can only study and engage in academics for the rest of their lives!

You have to wait until you retire before you can start a business.

Moreover, this bastard also demands property disclosure and retirement accounting of officials.

Although there are still a lot of loopholes that can be exploited, it is absolutely impossible to have the current status and enjoyment. Most of the things you have now will disappear!

Although it is a good thing for the middle and lower level mages, it is not like this for the upper level mages!

Therefore, many people gathered around him.

"He treats us innocent intellectuals and progressives so harshly, how can he get the support of the entire Azeroth? I am very dissatisfied with such brutal behavior, and I will never compromise at all. I will absolutely safeguard the legitimacy and independence of our academic behavior. I will never allow the spirit and flag of Dalaran to be destroyed when I am a member of the six-person council! I will never allow such a thing. Appear!"

He slapped the table in front of him angrily, showing his firm side.

"Because Dalaran represents the advancement of mankind! Dalaran is the guarantee of mankind's enterprising spirit and magical ability, and is the core that ensures the preservation of human academics and culture! It is a treasure of the entire human race! Such a treasure cannot be tolerated Any blasphemy and no compromise will be tolerated! We will never bow our heads!"

Ansrem Ruinvivor nodded. He has always felt that Kalai is very motivated, very enterprising and pioneering. There is no doubt that this person is also a member of the six-person parliament. Very qualified.

So, when Karai spoke again, he couldn't help but applaud.

Kale angrily took out a mana crystal from his arms. When he took out the mana crystal, almost all the six-member council members present and the mages who came to attend this big meeting showed strange expressions. expression.

"Our mana crystals have been collected by us for countless hours and are the result of the hard work of our mages! If Li Ke is angry with us just because of the high price of these mana crystals, then he is insulting our spirit of free trade. ! Insulting our responsibilities and pride that our mages should be rewarded for their efforts! What if we compromise?! Sell a mana crystal for the price of bread? Li Ke can't even pass the exam for an intermediate mage. He He simply doesn’t understand how much these mana crystals should cost, and he doesn’t know how to define the price of magic materials! If he is allowed to criticize the price of our materials because he is not satisfied with the price, then what will happen to our low-level mage? Life! We must not let a stingy lecher like Li Ke use violence and force to coerce us into lowering the price of magic materials so that he can support his mistress!"

Kale violently slapped the mana crystal on the table, appearing very excited, which made the mages who supported him nod with satisfaction.

And after he finished speaking these impassioned words, he commented on Li Ke.

"Instead of expressing opinions on the price of our magic materials, it is better to reflect on whether there is a problem with his own economic system, whether taxes have increased over the years, whether the territory's income has increased, and whether he works hard and goes to work in normal times. Solve the people’s problems! Why are these mana crystals so expensive? Is this the price they always have?!”

He kept talking because he had the pricing power of various magic materials.

Ansrem Ruinvivor sneered. Although he also had the pricing power of some magic materials, he didn't care about it anymore.

Because he could see very clearly that Li Ke would never let Kalai control the pricing of these magic materials. Others may not know it, but he knew very well that the dwarf had just cut Li Ke on the raw materials, and then the dwarf's The main city was invaded by monsters for no apparent reason, and then a rebellion broke out for no apparent reason. Now the population is less than 5% of humans, and it is basically a completely subordinate race.

Then Li Ke will never hesitate to kill enough Dalaran mages.

Moreover, Kale didn't listen at all to what Modera said before, or in other words, he didn't want to hear it at all.

What Li Ke needs is a large number of low-level mages, and he doesn't even really need mages with powerful spellcasting abilities.

No, strictly speaking it’s not that it’s not needed, but he can cultivate it himself!

If ten years doesn't work, then twenty years. If twenty years doesn't work, then ten years. A place where knowledge and magic materials are easier to obtain than Dalaran. A place with a more enlightened attitude towards magic than Dalaran. The management system is better than Dalaran. However, a more strict and rigorous magic learning society is what Li Ke wants.

High level mage?

Needed, but not completely needed. He only needed to win over those middle and low-level mages. What he needed was a lecturer, not a researcher.

Ansrem Ruinvivor saw very clearly that Li Ke's main energy in the next ten years will probably be spent on supporting various industries. There is no need to study magic or anything else, it is just to digest the existing Industry is enough to keep Li Ke's empire stable for a long time.

Ten years later, after Li Ke's empire was completely stable, he was able to carry out more scientific research work.

At this time, those children who have studied magic, mathematics, physics and chemistry since childhood, those middle and lower level mages who have acquired enough knowledge, why can't they show more creative and unconstrained skills than them? Why can't they show more than them? Powerful abilities?

Magic has always been produced by wisdom, rather than relying on money and power.

Money can only buy magic materials, not magic.

These archmages are also human beings, and other humans are also human beings. They have only learned magic since they were young, and their families have enough money to support their learning of magic. They can become archmage naturally because of their outstanding talents, but this In the human world, how many people are there who are talented but cannot receive education?

They just reaped the dividends of the previous era, not that they are really much smarter than other people.

So Ansrem Ruinvivor smiled and looked at Kalai who made an impassioned speech.

"But how do you solve the food problem? Does it all rely on our magic greenhouse? Or are you willing to bet Dalaran's food gap completely? Or are you willing to serve as a lobbyist to persuade Li Ke Where is your Majesty?"

The words of Ansrem Ruinvivor made Karai's voice crack up. The great pharmacist of Dalaran, the person who theoretically knows the most about medicines, after murmuring a few times, he said an unpleasant sentence. If you know how to evaluate.

"Dalaran people are grass-eating people. Our Dalaran people's bodies have been soaked in magical energy for countless years, and we have been able to live by eating grass."

But before Kale finished speaking, Ansrem Ruinvivor couldn't help laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Ansrem Ruinvivor looked at Kale as if he were looking at a clown. He knew that the archmage, who had some physical problems, had been completely dazzled by interests. Completely unconscious.

Dalaran eats grass?

Just kidding, casting spells consumes a lot of physical energy for mages. Most mages must have some food on them to replenish their physical strength.

Even at this age, he was able to eat a whole roasted chicken by himself after casting the spell.

Moreover, eating grass does not provide any nutrition. How can humans develop?

Don't the children of the people of Dalaran need to grow?

This guy is simply just that no one will be hungry no matter how hungry he is.

Mage Lord.

He couldn't help but think of Li Ke's opinion of them, and couldn't help but feel that that opinion was really appropriate enough.

"It seems that a split between us is inevitable."

Ansrem Ruinvivor looked at the group of colleagues standing behind him who couldn't see clearly or didn't want to see clearly, and tightened the staff in his hand.

"If you idiots who still expect Li Ke to give in want to stop me, then do it now, but I will never treat you as my colleagues again."

Ansrem Ruinvivor, who is known for his conservatism, chose to show off at this time, which was also the last custom he abided by in Dalaran.

Things between mages should be discussed openly.

So he just called these idiots idiots.

But unfortunately, this custom used to be a rule and a law.

"Me too. If anyone wants to stop me, just cast a spell on me. Don't worry about the friendship between us. Because that kind of thing no longer exists in idiots."

Modera also stood up.

So far, two people in the six-person council have expressed their stance, except for Jaina, who is absent.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into freezing point.
