Not a Witch

"That is to say, after about 100 years, the disaster of chaos will inevitably come again, and the way is to come across the galaxy, and Dorothy's hypothesis is true?"

"That's right. Although Dorothy's actions were a bit extreme back then, the goal may be right." The aged sage sighed.

"If the mages in Oz hadn't gone astray and used the secret art of Ajax, the sages would have remained neutral and not interfered."

"It's just that what happened later, slowly became unbearable. If the secret art of Ai Jieka is allowed to spread, it will be no different from the coming of chaos."

"And this also caused the tragedy later. The witches also complained about the sages. Even if it wasn't our fault, they lost a lot of goodwill."

"Now only the Star Witch who saved Luerna and brought the Sun Crown down, dares to boldly bring up this plan again."

Several people discussed in low voices, then picked up the memory gem and watched the scene inside.

After a while, several people discussed again.

"Can those wandering dragons on the outskirts of the galaxy resist these chaotic phantoms?" One of them asked luckily.

"It's unlikely. If it is a small-scale existence, having the Dragon of Destruction sitting in charge can guarantee that Ivar's world will be safe, but such a large-scale existence cannot be resisted by the dragon army."

"Besides, after a long time, their number is not much, and the Yuze of these ancient people is now slowly coming to an end."

"What about the 'Legion of Angels', those angels with wings on their backs are the most loyal followers of the Sun Crown."

"I have to ask the pope of the 'sanctuary', that is, they still have a little connection with the heaven."

"I've already asked about the heavens." Yard spoke again.

"Unfortunately, since that year, the heavens have entered a state of sleep, and all angels no longer respond, as if they have entered a sleep repair."

"So, we can't pin our hopes on the legacy of these predecessors." Yard knocked on the table.

"Integrating the power of the entire world is imminent."

"But, Yard, you have to be clear that this didn't happen overnight, nor can it be achieved with a simple sentence."

"Countless conflicts will arise from this, and behind the glorious righteousness of unifying everything is an extremely violent process. Because people are so inherently unwilling to bow their heads and surrender."

"Even if you put the facts in front of you, as long as the pain and suffering have not been added, they will doubt and disbelieve." The scholar pressed his glasses and analyzed with calm words.

"Yes, but what's the point? Are you willing to stand by and wait for the worst to happen?" Yard's eyes slowly swept across the crowd.

These sages are all existences he is familiar with, and they are also people who can be trusted and trusted, so he summoned them.

There was silence in the classroom, and everyone was silent.

They are not impulsive and simple-minded people. As the most knowledgeable and intelligent people among human beings, these sages know better than ordinary people. If they promise now, what will they offer in the future.

It's not just reputation, energy, and time, it's potentially your own life and the future of billions of people.

Change means fighting, fighting means war, and war sweeping the world means extremely terrifying trials.And no one can guarantee that the truly unified world is what you want.

Looking back on the past, the Mercury Dynasty briefly unified the entire world, and even the far east obeyed the will of this powerful dynasty.

But is such a dynasty really good? It is just a product of a high-pressure environment, and the internal contradictions that continue to accumulate are finally unstoppable one day, ushering in disintegration.

The necromancers of the dynasty were liquidated, countless high-level officials were executed, and the descendants of those heroes had to go far away, and finally lived on a desolate island.

After a long silence, the old sage stood up, looked up at the old wooden boards on the ceiling, and then touched the worn and broken wooden chair beside him.

"You know what, Yard. I used to take classes here, almost a hundred years ago." His voice was full of memory.

"I was still a student at that time, very young. The teacher at that time was the one who guided me into the Sages, Mr. Grant."

"Mr. Grant is a forest elf. He was over 600 years old at that time, which is an extremely old age even among elves."

"However, he is still very energetic. When the get out of class is over, he sits by the window sill, looking at the blooming yellow wind suzuki outside, and telling stories about his youth."

"He is a veteran of the Green Empire. He participated in the battle between the Green Empire and the country of Oz in the past, and witnessed the fall of that powerful magical country. Countless knowledgeable mages were put to the execution ground, and these wise minds were cut by cheap side knives down, and tumbled into the mud."

"Having knowledge is a wonderful thing and gives us a lot of advantages."

"And this kind of advantage, after a long time, will give people a certain feeling."

"I am different from others. I should be nobler than the farmers in those fields. I can't do rough work. I want to live a decent life. I should be here to be a superior person."

"It's a scary thought, because you put your own knowledge above everything else, thinking that as long as you have the truth, others must respect and obey you."

"A good person, a powerful person must be in a high position? Whether to use a machete to force others to admit it, or to use practical actions to convince others to trust, are actually two completely different paths."

"The logic of the former is rough and simple, making it easy for people to understand, while the chaos of the latter makes it difficult to find a practical way."

"So, most people end up going to the former, because I am stronger than you, I can kill you, so you must obey my will."

"It's really an easy job. But the price is that when the country and the whole get bigger and bigger, this high-handed system will become more and more vulnerable until the day it collapses."

"Truth is good, but if it doesn't benefit me, it's nothing more than paper. Power is exciting, but if it makes me suffer, I'll curse it like hell."

"What can really conquer people is what makes people kneel willingly and obey them. It is never the truth, nor is it power, but the tangible benefits, which can make you sigh, so peaceful, true, and beautiful."

"If you want everyone to integrate, then you have to show a real and beautiful world."

"If you just want to use the so-called righteousness to force it, it will be nothing more than a tragedy repeating itself in the end."

Text Volume Chapter [-] The Promise of the Sages

In the classroom in the shade of the trees, several sages fell into a brief silence.

Few people think about these big truths and essential issues, because they are far away from their lives.But they are different. As the sages of Emenas, they have great influence on the world. The popular skills, knowledge, ideas, etc., will go to the world through those outstanding and talented students, and become the foundation of many people. The presence of adoration and following.

Among them, the most famous are the two countries of West Wind and Green. The founders of these two countries were once students of Emenas, and it was they who practiced and verified many ideas and concepts of the sages step by step.

Although sages cannot directly interfere with the country, it is not difficult to influence the world's structure. Besides being sages, they are often leaders in various fields or organizations, and countless people follow them.

"I'm not disapproving of Yard's idea, I just want people to be cautious about this matter."

When the old sage had finished speaking, he sat down, and only then began to describe his proposal.

"In the past, we supported Cang Cui in order to fight against the country of Oz. As a result, the Cang Cui Empire was too strong, so that it became unbalanced later, leaving it without competitors and gradually degenerating."

"So, if you tell me now that you want to integrate everyone, I certainly agree, because it can indeed concentrate a lot of manpower and material resources to complete many incredible progress."

"It's just that for such an integration, it's best to leave room for it, that is, to keep a few diverse big countries so as to promote each other." After he finished speaking, he stopped, and applause immediately came from the side.

Yard took a few simple shots to express his approval.

"Actually, that's exactly why I'm here." Only then did he reveal the true purpose of the gathering.

"Have you ever heard of the group of witches?" He asked simply.

"Actually, I recently got a very interesting but also significant news about the Star Witch Lorraine Hill I mentioned just now."

"Perhaps Teacher Magesar also knows that witches are roughly divided into three factions at present, and our former head of the academy, Si Ye, is the leader of one of the factions."

Several sages made it clear that although Si Ye seldom participated in the decision-making of the Sages Association, because of her existence, there was a lot of room for relaxation and discussion between the sages and witches.

"A few months ago, the witches had a rare gathering. But compared to our humble environment, they have a gorgeous way beyond imagination."

"And in this gathering, this young witch also put forward her own ideas."

"That is to reform the Green Empire."

"Of course, this kind of idea or plan is different from the current situation in Lunui, so it has also been opposed by many witches, thinking that this is infringing on their domain."

"In order to avoid the escalation of the conflict, the witches of the two parties negotiated and agreed."

"This Star Witch can enter Green Green to try to change something, but she cannot use her past identity and image, because in this case, it is tantamount to giving the changed Green Green Empire to Clancia."

Several sages listened to Yard continue to talk about the detailed agreement and conditions, and after thinking for a while, they also talked about their own ideas.

"It's unexpected, but it seems to understand the persistence of the two parties, or it's beyond my imagination."

"If two countries did this, they would have fought a long time ago, but I am afraid that in the heart of the witch, the value of companions will be higher."

"However, what does this have to do with us? Do you want to support that star witch, Yard? In my opinion, she will definitely lose."

"The witches behind the Green Empire have lived for hundreds of years, and they are still in a relatively aggressive period. They are not like those witches in ancient times, who don't care much about everything."

"Although the Star Witch herself is not weak, she doesn't have an advantage in the face of multiple witches who also have special powers. Even because it is the Green Empire, the opponent can mobilize too much power." After finishing speaking, the others also nodded. head, in agreement.

"Although the idea is good, it is always too naive."

"Really?" Yard looked at the people in the room, and then spoke slowly.

"Are you used to being teachers, always evaluating young people in a condescending tone?"

"It's not good here, it's not perfect there, the possibility is not high, it may fail, etc."

"Then I'm going to ask you, do you have any better, more constructive plans?"

"It is a kind of foolish arrogance to take oneself out of the matter and express one's own intelligence in a critical way."

"Yes, there are always problems, they are always imperfect, and they are always naive, but it is these people who are changing the world, from Roland and Yalin in the past to the new generation, and this new big witch .”

"If you really put yourself in the bottom of the empire, you may understand how attractive the vision described in this plan is to those people."

"Perhaps you have heard of another statistic. Those veterans who fought against Crancia for several years were more or less dissatisfied with the current empire after returning."

"Otherwise, why do you always see one or two soldiers and officers who have experienced war among the uprising crowd?"

"Don't they understand the power of the empire?"

"Of course I understand, they couldn't be more clear. But at the same time, they also know the fragility hidden behind this strength, and the beauty of that prospect."

"Looking at the soldiers and civilians in Crancia, and looking at the life here, it's hard to say that I don't feel a little uncomfortable."

"The ones who are promoted and ennobled are always the sons of the nobles, and even if they risk their lives to kill them, they will not get the positions and honors that the nobles can easily obtain."

"When this divide of injustice widens, the disintegration of the empire is on the horizon."

"It's an opportunity, so I hope it goes in a good direction."

"In other words, do you want to persuade us to support this witch?" The witch put her hands on the table, turned her eyes to the side of her face, and looked at the slender hair entangled in her hands.

"It's better to say no earlier, I always find so many reasons to prove it. Yard, you don't understand a girl's heart."

"Just like the old man Magesar said just now, reason cannot conquer people's hearts, but trust can."

"You have always been the calmest existence among the few of us, and you are also a wise and firm executor, so if you want to ask me for help, I will definitely agree."

"Uh......"

Yard, who has always been known for his handsomeness and majesty, rarely gets stuck in his speech.It was always difficult for him to understand the subtle thoughts of some girls, but this time he was also surprised.

"Hahaha." There was a burst of cheerful laughter, after which several other sages also stood up.

"Supporting the great idea of ​​a witch? It's quite rebellious when you think about it, and it's against the consistent purpose of the Sages. Although she guided the establishment of Clancia, she didn't understand most of the things in the most difficult early days. Participation, it is hard to say that this witch can repeat the success of the past again."
