Lord of Plenty
Chapter 21 Spring in the Plenty Territory
Mehrvold and Latifa were shocked at the same time, especially Melvold, who secretly thanked himself for listening to Latifa's advice and not following the two foolish people. The master's expression did not seem to be joking.
As for those promises of no revenge, just listen to them.
There is no need for the superior to take revenge personally, it is too beneath his status. With a look or a hint, there are many people who will help him deal with these minor troubles, and the annoying guy will naturally be unlucky.
After finishing the hammering, Kun looked sincere and said earnestly:
"What I can guarantee is that I will try my best to build the territory and never treat anyone in the territory as a commodity to be sold.
So I would like to ask you to be a little patient with me and the Plenty Territory. Wait and see, I will build this place into a better, truly 'Plenty' Territory.
And in this process, I need your help."
"The reward is that as the first batch of territory builders, you will enjoy the priority right to live in the Jade Heart at any time and anywhere.
I will leave a place for the two of you in the newly built house. As long as the Plenty Territory exists, it will belong to you alone."
Mehrward and Latifah did not realize how sincere Kun's treatment was. They thought that Kun was just giving a real but unbeneficial reward to keep a few people.
In fact, there are only three territory officials in the entire Plenty Territory who have received the same promise from Kun.
No matter how it is expanded in the future, the Jade Heart will be the core of the core, and the Jade Heart is only that big.
It is not clear how precious this promise is now. When the population of the Plenty Territory increases and it is overcrowded, we will know how expensive Kun's reward is.
"In addition to the above rewards, the Plenty Territory implements a labor-based payment system. The more you work, the more you get. If you don't work, you get nothing.
You can ask Vittorio, the tax officer in the territory, about this. I think he must be very willing to explain the specific details to the mages in detail."
Seeing that Kun had not talked about the part he was most concerned about, Melward stood up a little anxiously and opened his mouth to say something.
"Mage Melward, there seems to be something wrong with your mentality."
Looking directly into the other person's eyes, Kun's sharp eyes seemed to penetrate through the layers of appearances and look directly into the depths of his soul.
An ice mage who acts so anxiously and has no patience at all is not a good performance.
This shows that Melward's own problem is actually very serious. The inability to break through the bottleneck of the first level is not only a problem of qualifications, but has already deviated from the way of magic.
Melward's body stiffened, and his voice was stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out at all. Just now, for a moment, the two people's spiritual power slightly touched each other.
It was like a giant dragon passing through, and the entire spiritual sea was turbulent.
Melward couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he didn't advance to the second level, after so many years of careful polishing, he believed that the toughness of his spiritual power was no less than those of the middle-level mages in the Mage Association. The gap was so big? !
The archmage was indeed an archmage, but he was only sixteen years old this year, younger than his grandson.
Waving his hand, signaling the other party to sit down, Kun retracted his gaze and used his left index finger to draw circles along the teacup in front of him, saying slowly:
"I can do what you ask for, and I can easily help you break through the bottleneck.
But to be honest, doing so will harm you. Those who deviate from the magic path will not have a good end. The higher they climb, the heavier they will fall in the future."
"I ask you two a simple question, what is the magic path, and what is magic in your eyes?"
"Magic, magic is, is..."
Latifa said in a deep voice, "Magic is sunlight, magic is temperature, magic is ether, and magic is the source of all things.
Magic is the indispensable life for all life to exist Life force, magic is also the essence of the world, and the magic path is the process of wizards pursuing this essence. "
"You said it in a very formulaic way, Master Latifa, it seems that you have read a lot of ancient magic books. I remember that the original words of this paragraph were recorded in the first chapter of the 20th volume of the Moon Elf Magic Manual, right?"
"I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"Then have you ever thought about it, if there is a place in this world where magic is thin or even without magic, how do people there view magic?
A non-existent illusion, or a special energy, so, what is magic?"
Latifa opened her eyes wide, and her tightened pupils showed that her heart was far less calm than her expression.
Mehrward said in a lost voice:
"Impossible, magic is life force, how can those people survive without magic?"
Kun smiled playfully, people who were born blind will never understand what the world looks like in the eyes of normal people, everything is so natural.
If he hadn't accidentally gone to the magic desert on Blue Star, he wouldn't have thought about this question deeply.
Without saying anything more, Kun just lightly tapped the teacup beside him, and the already somewhat cold black tea in the cup suddenly boiled violently.
A large amount of water vapor flew into the air, slowly condensing into a small white cloud, which gathered slightly to form a dark cloud, and then turned into raindrops and fell down.
Then the puddle of rain on the table gathered into a ball as if it had its own consciousness, and the cold air filled the air. A trace of ice crystals gradually froze, and the water that was completely frozen into an ice ball sublimated into steam in the next second and turned into white clouds again.
Water, clouds, ice, just in this three-foot space, circulates over and over again, and is presented in front of the two in the most intuitive way.
"Is this... magic?"
Latifah was shocked. She didn't need to chant the spell, and ignored the taboos of casting spells that were not her own. She just did it so easily and naturally.
This was the second time. Melward felt that he was standing in front of the door of truth.
"So this is magic, this is magic, I understand, haha, I understand!"
Melward's eyes were fanatical, and he danced happily like a madman, his long white beard trembling, which was very funny.
Kun looked at Melward, who was like a fanatic, with a strange look on his face. He only dared to say that he understood half of it, and you understood it? What do you understand? Tell me about it?
Finally, Kun took out a handwritten magic notebook and handed it to the two. It contained some of Kun's thoughts on the principles of magic, and mixed with some of his verification process. The thick book was very important.
"This is my little experience of magic. You can take it back and read it first. If you have any questions, you are welcome to discuss it with me at any time."
Looking at the two people who left excitedly, Kun nodded with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up to his wit in his heart.
Very good, the goal was achieved, and they were all fooled.
For the time being, there is no need to worry about someone clamoring to leave again. It is quite simple to appease people's hearts. First knock them out with a big stick, and then throw out a few formulas and theorems. Are you afraid that these young wizards who have never seen the world will not be confused?
And devote yourself to me in the Rich Territory, hehe.
I happily poured myself another cup of black tea, looking at the blurred face reflected in the steaming, clear tea soup, and the sound of Kun's self-questioning and answering rang in the quiet study again.
"What is magic?"
"Magic is actually a medium!"
Flame, brilliance, temperature, strong wind, thunder, indeed, these can all be magic.
The wizard world believes that magic is the cornerstone of the world at a small level, and the law and truth at a large level.
The so-called way of magic is that the mage uses the truth and knowledge learned to pry the laws of the world, and the final appearance is magic.
These statements are actually correct, and Kun also agrees.
But in his opinion, these statements are still too vague and general.
The same statement, placed on the Blue Star where there is no magic, science is the truth, science is the law, and science is the cornerstone of the world. Is there a problem?
No problem.
But are magic and science the same thing?
If they are really the same thing, there would not be two worlds as different as Blue Star and Yongxu Continent, but they should be similar.
The answer to the question was also understood by Kun after he accepted a lot of knowledge from Blue Star and compared the differences between the two worlds.
The essence of magic is actually a medium!
If you want to get a piece of ice, Yongxu Continent can let an ice mage take action to directly extract water vapor from the air and condense it into ice.
On the Blue Star side, you can put water in the refrigerator and get a piece of ice.
It is a very common thing on Blue Star, but in the eyes of Kun, a foreigner, using the power of technology to pry the laws of the world, what else is this if not magic?
The compressor in the refrigerator is the embodiment of the knowledge of people in another world to pry the laws of the world.
And the refrigerant in the compressor is the medium that finally realizes this magic.
In other words, ice cubes are magic, compressors are the spiritual power of the mage, and refrigerants are the medium that realizes magic.
The mages of Yongxu Continent only focus on improving their spiritual power, that is, they only see the existence of the compressor, but do not understand what it is that finally completes this magic.
Kun only understood half of it. Although he saw the refrigerant, he still did not understand what this refrigerant was.
His research is still at the step of "magic is the medium".
Is it useful to understand what magic is? It seems to be a waste of effort.
For mages, especially high-level masters like Kun, this question is the same as figuring out what 1+1 equals. Is it equal to, 2.3, 2.2, or 2.1?
It seems to be only a millimeter difference, insignificant.
All addition and subtraction calculations based on this are wrong. The more you add, the more you deviate from the true answer.
In Kun's opinion, a true magician is not the kind who can cast a forbidden spell to destroy a kingdom, but the kind who can still completely destroy the entire kingdom by dropping a stone from the top of the mountain.
Achieve the same goal, but the meaning is completely different.
This exploration of the cornerstone of magic is vacant in Yongxu Continent.
Most mages only focus on training their own mental power and advancing as soon as possible, or pursue those ancient and powerful magics, which has also led to the stagnation of the development of magic in the entire Yongxu Continent.
So that even though it is a thousand years later, whether in terms of civilization or exploration of magic, humans are far behind the period when the ancient elves ruled the continent.
Kun likes the other side of the world, not only because it is more prosperous and civilized, but also because there are many new things that Yongxu Continent does not have.
But the people in that world are more energetic, courageous to explore, kind and gentle.
Although there are some flaws, such as "rolls", it is still good overall.
And here, what Kun knows and sees is the endless greed of the rich and powerful nobles, the numb despair in the eyes of the common people and slaves, the resistance of the lower classes after the class is completely solidified, and even the creativity of the whole society is suppressed and lost.
It is too difficult to change the current situation of Yongxu Continent.
Kun feels that he is not a great man with the world in his heart, so he just lies down and does whatever he wants.
Being a small lord, studying magic, planting land, and unlocking the mark of abundance in his hand, isn't it good?
Anyway, Kun is very satisfied with his current life.
Taking a sip of the black tea in the cup, Kun looked out the window and murmured:
"Spring is coming soon."
——
Winter in the north comes quickly but goes slowly.
In the south, it is already warm and pleasant, with grass growing and warblers flying, but in the north, especially in the northernmost part of the kingdom of the Rich Territory, it is still freezing cold, bare, and the land is frozen as hard as stone.
Fortunately, because it is close to the Storm Sea, the ice and snow on the ground have been melted by the warm sea breeze from time to time, and with the sporadic weeds that have broken through the ground with tenacious vitality, there is at least a hint of spring.
"Hum~ha!"
The thin black-haired boy held a half-man-high standard sword, gathered strength, used the power of his waist to drive the power of his arms, and chopped fiercely at the fir tree beside him.
The breeze lifted his bangs, revealing the boy's smooth forehead covered with sweat.
The collision between the sword and the tree trunk actually produced a continuous crackling sound like firecrackers.
The fir tree that the two people hugged was cut by the sword with more than a dozen gaps of varying depths, and the deepest one was more than an inch deep into the trunk.
In fact, the boy only used one sword, and except for the deepest mark, the others were "wind marks" produced by fighting spirit.
Dwayne Simmons, a well-known third-level peak warrior in the kingdom, became famous for his fighting skills, "Chaos Wind Break"!
"Hey, I'm practicing."
Kun, who was following Old Tate and holding a newborn kitten in his arms, greeted Li Tianyun, who was concentrating on practicing.
"It's the Lord."
"The Lord is here."
The workers and guards around the lumberyard all stopped their work and saluted when they saw the Lord Kun coming.
Only Li Tianyun stood beside the fir tree and ignored him, feeling for the marks on the trunk and thinking about the angle of the next force.
The people around were no longer surprised by this and soon picked up their work again.
This guy who couldn't even speak the kingdom language fluently and looked different from ordinary people was said to have a great background. He was not only a friend of the Lord, but also one of the two disciples of Sheriff Dawn. He was also the new architectural planner of Fengzao Territory. He came from another continent in the Storm Sea and was extremely mysterious.
