Lord of Arcane

Chapter 638 Hometown Spark
"And all of this, the initial starting point, may start with the expansion of the apprenticeship of the Tower of Time!"

In the end, Xia Duo felt that he was about to be moved by him. Unexpectedly, when he lowered his head, he met Niya's strange expression when she turned her head to look at him.

"Ok?"

Xia Duo was taken aback, why did Niya have such an expression, but before he could ask, Niya spoke first, "Did you have such an idea a long time ago?"

"Uh--"

Xia Duo didn't expect that Niya's focus would be here, not the future world he just described, but he quickly replied, "That's right! What's wrong?"

"Is what you said really possible?" Although the future world described by Xia Duo is wonderful, Niya doubts whether it can be realized.

"Why not? My hometown is such a world!"

"your hometown?"

Hearing Xia Duo mention her hometown again, Niya finally couldn't help asking, "What kind of world is your hometown like?"

For this problem, Xia Duo has been prepared for a long time since he traveled so far. The purely material universe must not be said. From Mu Yan's mouth, he knows that Karatu also has magic, so just change the technology.

"My hometown is a country where magic is prevalent. When everyone is 5 or 6 years old, they have to undergo magic enlightenment, and then enter the elementary, intermediate, and advanced magic schools in turn. Further studies in colleges and universities, and after graduation from colleges of higher education, we can continue to study, but generally at this time we will choose employment, that is, find a job to support ourselves.”

"us?"

"Correct."

Having reached this level, Xia Duo had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, "I graduated from a high school in my hometown, which is equivalent to a senior arcanist in Netheril!"

"No wonder you became an Arcanist so quickly!"

Niya made up her mind quickly, but the question came up again, "Since you are a senior arcanist, why do you still want to study in the Tower of Time?"

"Well, there is no magic net in my hometown, and the way of casting spells is completely different from that of Netheril, so I have to learn it again." Xia Duo quickly found the reason.

Muyan mentioned that his hometown, which is Karatu in Nether's population, does not have a magic net. Xia Duo regards himself as a native of Muyan's hometown, and it just fits in with it.

"All right!"

Niya reluctantly accepted such an excuse, and was about to ask what the world without the magic net would be like, but suddenly thought of a question, staring at Xia Duo with burning eyes, "I know why some people don't want others to learn It's magic!"

This turning point must be too big, such a thought flashed in Xia Duo's mind, but he asked in agreement, "Why?"

"Look, a senior arcanist like you has to find a job to support himself. What is the difference between this and an ordinary craftsman in Savile? How many senior arcanists are there in Netheril? Who is willing to accept such a gap? ?”

Niya doesn't know what kind of process Xiaduo's hometown has gone through to spread magic to all the people, but she knows that it will definitely not be easy to do this in Netheril!
After listening to Xia Duo's description just now, she herself wants to keep the secret of magic strictly, but the prosperous world really attracts her. Perhaps Xia Duo's hometown is the unremitting efforts of countless people who yearn for magic and prosperity to create Such a world!

"Don't think about others talking about your hometown in the future!" Niya reminded Xia Duo seriously.

"I know."

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you say it or not, anyone with a little insight can see that the more frequent the communication, the more the knowledge of magic will spread, and the more spellcasters will be. At the same time, the frequent emergence of geniuses will also make some of the existing high-ranking people feel uneasy .

There is also a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Although boiling frogs in warm water is not necessarily feasible, it reflects real human nature. As long as the current situation is passable and profitable, not many people will pay attention to it. long.

This may be called the general trend. If you want to go against the general trend, you don’t know how much effort you have to put in, and not everyone chooses to be conservative, which is another big help.

A single spark can start a prairie fire. The most difficult thing is the initial moment of momentum, but even if the general trend has not yet formed, Xia Duo is full of confidence. He believes that progress is the appeal of any living being.

No matter how conservative a person is, when encountering all kinds of new theories, new spells, and new business opportunities thrown at him, he will probably greet him happily, and then see if there are any more.

If you want to keep the secrets of magic completely, unless there is a powerful person who can overwhelm everyone, magic will eventually spread gradually. This is also an important reason why Xia Duo firmly believes that magic civilization can be formed in the future.

To put it bluntly, unless a god stands up to stop it, otherwise, development and progress will eventually become the mainstream, and magical civilization will inevitably emerge.

And Netheril's conservatism in recent years is actually not the mainstream, but the aftermath of the theft of the [Nether Scroll], and now the turning point of the times has arrived.

Xia Duo was extremely convinced.

As for worrying about the frequent emergence of geniuses after the popularization of magic, this is actually unnecessary. The current Netheril is not a society completely dominated by power, but various rules are the dominant ones, and even great arcanists have to obey. under the rules.

The rules here are not some objective and unchanging theorems and laws, but social rules intertwined with human feelings and legal principles. As long as there is still humanity, love and hatred, and love and hatred, it is under the rules.

As the current ruler and rule maker of Netheril, there is really no reason to worry about the latecomers. It is nothing more than stricter rules in the future.

And even if the latecomers make it to the end, they are just another member of the ruling class.

Does Netheril still have few rulers now?

As long as there is no one who can overwhelm everyone, compromise and negotiation are basically inseparable, just like the current Austrian Law Federation.

Of course, although the Arcanist is considered a member of the ruling class, only by becoming a Grand Arcanist can he become a real ruler, which is different from the Earth.

The rulers on the earth do not have power requirements, but the magical world does, at least at this stage, and the proportion is very large.

……

Standing in front of the window of Niya's study, Xia Duo's vision flew far away, not only the scene of the development of the Great Xia leaders in front of him, but also countless future images intertwined into threads in his mind, converging into a predictable near future.

"Maybe we need to upgrade as soon as possible!"

Right now, he can still affect the environment of Netheril through some small actions, but as the environment changes more and more, it is a bit outdated to be just a pioneering lord and a new arcanist.

Xia Duo needs a stronger identity, and more—

Comrades!

　Here is an explanation of why Xia Duo wanted to develop a magic civilization. In fact, it was mentioned earlier, so I will summarize it here.

One is that self-safety is no longer the main need, and other needs will inevitably arise, such as needs for belonging, emotion, and self-actualization.

Just like the richest man is willing to spend money to buy fame, similarly, there is also the demand of elders, which is probably a good historical positioning~~
The other is that Xia Duo came from the earth and is a traveler, so he naturally has the idea of ​​transforming the current world.

He has become an arcanist now, between being able to transform the world, and becoming an aboriginal lord who eats and waits to die; If you choose the former more, you should at least give it a try.
If I have crossed, if conditions permit, why not try it~~
