Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2174 Magic is not sacred
Although Badigal respects Ms. Mystery enough, he can't say that he is a believer at all. He has only studied magic so far and has achieved extraordinary achievements in his field of expertise.

That's why they cherish this field—that is, magic, so much that they often look at non-mage groups with colored glasses.

But Xia Duo didn't engage in this kind of thing. He was a monk halfway through magic, and he didn't have the narrow concept of Badigal. He didn't start to refute until the other party calmed down a little:
"Magic is never sacred. Magic is just one of the ways for intelligent creatures to know the truth, or it is just a tool. Otherwise, there is no need to distinguish between Nether magic system and elf magic system.

"Because tools are suitable for different users, we will choose tools according to our actual situation.

"Just now I mentioned that my territory has accepted a Langas tribe. The teenagers in that tribe are no different from ordinary Nether teenagers. They can also be enlightened in magic and become mages."

"You actually trained the Langas to become mages? How did you do it?" Badigal could hardly believe his ears.

Because Nether mages tried to accept Langas apprentices in the past, but the results were often unsatisfactory. Those Langas who received the apprenticeship training of mages either could not learn magic, or they finally chose to become shamans. .

Regarding Badigal's surprise and doubts, Xia Duo felt that there was no one in Netheril who was more qualified to answer him. This question is actually very simple——

The Netherites of the past have never viewed the Rangas as equals.

There was a similar legend in the Gray Eagle tribe. It was said that a certain Langas entered Netheril, and in the end he was either ostracized in various ways, or controlled into slaves. In short, there would be no good results.

What Xia Duo knew was that the Langas people worshiped their ancestors and nature, and on this basis formed a primitive shaman culture.

Nether people respect and remember their ancestors, but they don't worship them. Instead of worshiping nature, they show more desire to conquer.

The group of mages who are known as polymaths naturally understand the common sense of shaman culture. They scoff at this primitive culture, but they don't want it to be this attitude that touches the most sensitive part of the Langas people.

Even if they have learned Nether magic, no one will feel honored, they will only feel that it is a sense of humiliation similar to (faith) being raped.

However, the strength of the Nethers is an irrefutable fact. In this case, the Langas can only insist on their primitive beliefs to resist the spiritual bullying of the Nethers.

And how did Xia Duo do it?
From the earliest remnants of the Kadun tribe who came to Daxia Territory, Xia Duo treated them and other people equally, and later respected each other's traditions and allowed them to retain shaman culture and even primitive witchcraft.

Then came the new concept of nature, although most of the ideas came from Xia Duo himself, but in a sense, it can actually be regarded as the localization and modernization of Langas's nature worship.

Until the arrival of the Gray Eagle Tribe, the new natural concept also played a considerable role in appeasement.

As the saying goes, "Time sees people's hearts", a person may be able to pretend for a while, but if he keeps pretending, he can actually be regarded as what he pretends to be.

It has been four or five years since the remnants of the Kadun tribe arrived in the Daxia Territory, and they should know everything they need to know. The current Kadun people can be said to have completely integrated into the Daxia Territory.

If it weren't for them, if the Great Xia Territory wanted to consume a complete tribe as large as the Gray Eagle tribe, it wouldn't be possible to take it down for a few years or even decades.

It can be said that Xia Duo’s greatest trump card for ordinary people is not super magic, but a heart that treats people equally. Correspondingly, when he has won the trust and respect of the Langas people, everything he has can also be It is accepted and respected by the Langas people, which of course also includes Nai color magic that may not be acceptable to another person.

……

Xia Duo told Badigal what he had done, especially his state of mind. The other party's expression changed after listening to it, and finally heaved a long sigh:
"I can't do what you do, but if the Langas people can really integrate into the Nai color system, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Definitely!"

Xia Duo said with incomparable certainty, and at the same time added in his mind - it might not be necessary to integrate into my Great Xia order, but to integrate into the Nai color system.

In fact, he expects the Langas people to awaken their national consciousness. If a unique culture can develop stably for a long time, it will be a good incentive for the Great Xia Order and an object of learning and communication.

But it is a pity that the external environment at this time does not allow the Langas to continue to drift outside the order of the Northern Alliance. The demarcation of the territory will involve all forces in the North, even those completely separated Langas Sri Lanka is no exception.

Even if Netheril treats them badly, the elves may not let them go.

……

"In this case—" Badigal said sadly, not knowing what to think of, "then give the Rangas people a chance!"

"You won't regret your choice today, I promise!" Xia Duo made his promise with confidence.

He has confidence in the Great Xia leadership and the future magical civilization. He believes that under his guidance, the future will definitely improve, and he will fully affirm today's decision.

"hope so!"

Badigal is not as optimistic as Xia Duo. He is actually taking a lot of risks now, because he hasn't had time to discuss this matter with the other controllers of the Seven Towers, but he is sure to convince others.

"Congratulations! Lord Xia Duo, the goal you want to achieve is almost achieved!"

"Ha ha."

Xia Duo laughed dryly and didn't say anything else, "Those who know me say I'm worried, and those who don't know me say what I want." This is probably the truest portrayal of his heart at this moment.

……

On the afternoon of the day when the talks with Badigal ended, Xia Duo received a notification from the Northland Alliance that the alliance meeting would be held in the covenant hall two days later.

Without the membership of the delegation obtained from Badigal's side, he could only watch and not be able to attend and have the opportunity to speak.

If Badigal hadn't given him the identity papers, then he would most likely not even go to the auditorium. The people on the stage are giving a speech, but the real protagonist is sitting in the audience. The scene is as embarrassing as it is .

Of course, the Seven Towers would also lose face.
