King from scratch

This is...the important person is coming?

He Xingwen was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the final result of Moody's discussion with the academy would be so conservative.

This result may be beyond Zhe's expectation.

He Xingwen has no attitude towards the choices of the mages. If they want to stay, as long as they abide by the laws of the kingdom, then he welcomes them. If they want to leave, he has no reason to refuse.

No matter what the king of this kingdom should look like in other people's eyes, that's not He Xingwen.

He grew up in a free and democratic land and received education in a legal society, all of which finally shaped him into what he is today.

Power inflates a person, but does it change a person completely?

He Xingwen didn't know the answer.

Because he never felt that he had rights, and all this came with heavy responsibilities, not unparalleled rights.

It is so easy to let a person die, it only takes a little uncontrolled anger to destroy a life.

But it is very difficult to keep a person alive. He needs food, tools, knowledge, culture and the future.

But fortunately, on this difficult road, He Xingwen is never alone. Countless people share the same idea with him and are willing to work hard for it.

After a little silence, He Xingwen nodded and said, "Indeed, they've stayed here long enough." He watched Duoti and said, "Do you want me to notify them to come here, or to meet them in person?"

The attitude of the other party made Doti a little surprised, and this little surprise was well hidden - although the king's performance was very different from Moody's description, just like the devil and the god were once brothers, It's unbelievable.

After pondering for a few seconds, he made a choice: "If you allow, I hope to meet them in person."

Moody's warning is still echoing in Duoti's mind: don't try to understand the kingdom, and being ignorant is not a bad thing sometimes.

His students are growing up, Doti thought, putting the warning to the back of his mind.

Remaining ignorant is not a bad thing, but a mage should never choose to be ignorant.

They are pioneers in exploring the ether, and knowledge is their eternal pursuit.

From the third era to the present, from being hunted down by the human kingdom and almost destroyed to the Arcane Academy standing in the west of the mainland, countless mages have overcome obstacles on this road, even at the cost of their lives, to have the current Arcane Academy .

Maintaining a thirst for knowledge is the first thing they learn at the Arcane Academy.

"I've heard a lot about the kingdom and you from Moody." Doti followed behind He Xingwen, looking at the desolate surroundings and said, "I have to say, those stories sound very shocking."

He Xingwen led him towards the main city, and said, "I'm also curious how he describes all this."

Clearly, this is a fledgling kingdom, so small that it only has two cities.On the territory of the kingdom, it is difficult to see the bustling scenes of the kingdom's people.

It doesn't look like it can even raise a strong army - because the number of the kingdom's subjects is so small.

But everything that happened at the moment of stepping into the kingdom's territory is enough to make it clear that this is by no means the true face of the kingdom.

"Did he convey everything to you truthfully?"

He Xingwen turned to look at Duoti: "Including why your students will stay in the kingdom?"

"Obviously not." Duo Ti's tone was somewhat regretful: "He is still too young to know that a truthful description is a better choice."

"But he gave me a brief description and some caveats."

Duoti repeated Moody's words: "The kingdom possesses power that does not belong to this world. It revives the dead, changes people's cognition, modifies the characteristics of creatures, and makes everything what the king wants."

He Xingwen was amazed, and said from the bottom of his heart: "This expression distorts the facts."

Doti smiled slyly, which made him seem more approachable: "It's not over yet. The rules of the kingdom are above the rules of the world. There are full of miracles beyond imagination, and they are full of threats. They covet us world, they covet power, spells, and even life itself."

He Xingwen began to reflect on what Moody had seen before he came to such a conclusion that had nothing to do with the facts.

His impression of Moody was that of a keen genius, but he didn't expect the other party's impression of him to be... a dangerous careerist?

He Xingwen: "Obviously, he misunderstood us."

Doti smiled: "I agree with your point of view, there is a huge gap between you and his description of you."

"His Majesty?"

Zhe walked out from the other end of the road, stopped not far away, glanced over Duoti, and landed on He Xingwen: "Is this a guest from the Arcane Academy?"

He Xingwen made an introduction for them: "This is Zhe, he is responsible for connecting with foreign races."

"This is Doti, the instructor of the Arcane Academy, he is here to pick Maca and the others back."

Zhe stepped forward and walked up to He Xingwen. Hearing this, he nodded slightly to Duoti and said, "You shouldn't have broken into the kingdom directly." way to contact us."

Duoti sensed some kind of familiar existence from the other party, strong, accustomed to dominate everything, aggressive...

If he hadn't met the king of this kingdom first, he would even doubt who is the real master of this kingdom.

Compared with Zhe Lai, the king is more like a young student than a ruler of a kingdom.

He treats everything with gentleness, softness, and equality. As a student, he has excellent personal characteristics, but as a king... he is obviously not qualified.

This is almost visible to the naked eye and will become a contradiction between them. After all, when the strong are in the lower position and the weak are in the upper position, it is difficult to avoid the situation that the upper position is suppressed by the lower position.

Of course, that is in the normal human kingdom, and it is obviously not suitable to use conventional thinking to measure here.

Countless thoughts flashed through Duoti's mind, and he inevitably became more cautious when answering Zhe's question.

"Obviously, I have realized that recklessly breaking into the kingdom's territory is not a good idea."

Zhe sighed, human beings who have lived too long have this bad point. The long years have allowed them to understand human beings enough, and the wisdom accumulated over time has made them extremely transparent.

"It's not that you realize this, it's the kingdom that taught you this."

Zhe corrected his words and reminded the other party: "I hope this kind of thing won't happen again next time."

He rarely uses honorifics, not for other reasons, but because of the age of the other party.

Country setting 3: The elders and the younger will receive extra protection within the kingdom.

Respect is part of it.

But this did not affect Zhe Wen and told the other party: "This kind of behavior is very rude, enough for us to consider it as provocation."

Duoti stared at the other party with blue eyes, and was very sure that part of the source of Moody's exaggerated remarks was the pressure given by the other party.

"I'm sorry for my inappropriate narrow thinking before." Doti said: "No matter who the owner of this land is, he should obtain the other party's permission before entering the other party's territory."

"I'm glad we've come to an agreement on that."

Zhe nodded slightly at him, as if he wasn't the one who was aggressive just now, and turned to He Xingwen and said, "I noticed that the house where the mages temporarily lived was damaged by external forces..."

"I'm thinking about how to relocate them, but since you're here," Zhe said with a genuine smile, "That's great."

Duoti subconsciously glanced at the king and realized another point, he never intervened in their conversation from beginning to end, no matter how aggressive Zhe seemed, he made his own decisions.

That wasn't a concession out of weakness of character, after all, this king was truly "I am the kingdom".

That's more like, not interfering with each other's work.

More to say they continue to move toward the destination.

After Zhe arrived, he replaced He Xingwen as the initiator of the conversation.

"Not only the way of arrival was unexpected, but also the time of your arrival." Zhe said as he walked, "Moody has been away from the kingdom for a while."

He glanced at Duoti, and didn't try to hide his oppressive feeling too much - in front of a wise elder, it was obviously superfluous to conceal this.

"Among the three mages, I admire him the most." Zhexiang said casually: "He is sharper and more talented than them."

Dottie agrees with him: "Moody is truly the best of his generation."

He followed Zhe into the main city, and the straight main road, the neat buildings on both sides, and the magnificent church from a distance came into his sight. He noticed that there were gradually more people in the city.

Most of them walked on the road in a hurry, busy and indifferent to foreign objects, but along the way, he could hardly see any human beings who were resting or entertaining.

It's like the entire kingdom is in taut order, everything works like a machine - including humans.

But this is against human nature.

Moody's description may seem exaggerated because of a certain fear, but it is not far from the truth.

"But it seems that talent is also a burden."

Zhe noticed his gaze, and he continued what he said just now: "The talent he possessed allowed him to easily perceive things that others did not perceive, and then it also brought him a deeper level of fear, and the fear defeated him."

Speaking of this, Zhe said with a regretful expression: "It's very regrettable. If you don't do something, I'm afraid this most outstanding genius among young people will stop forever because of this."

Duoti looked away because of his words.

Zhelan's eyes once again paused on Zhe.

If he understood correctly, this young man lightly threatened him with the fall of a genius—if he didn't do anything, the most outstanding genius among this young man would stop forever because of this.

So, what should they do, such as further cooperation with the Kingdom, to eliminate Moody's fear by increasing their understanding of the Kingdom.

"But I think he'll come out."

Doti rolled his eyes, calmly and firmly: "Time will heal all fears, and he will eventually know how vulnerable those fears caused by ignorance are."

"Ignorance..." Zhe repeated the word, admiring the other party's ignorance.

He stopped in front of the messy floor, took the initiative to stop the conversation, stretched out his hand and gestured forward: "Your students."

Doti looked in the direction he pointed, and the house without walls and ceiling came into his sight, as well as two people in a mess.

Maca sat on the floor, writing and drawing on the animal skin with his bare hands, completely unaware of Doti's arrival; while Duo Lun sat on the floor with a dull expression, caught in some kind of thoughts, unable to extricate himself.

Duoti is very familiar with this kind of state that mages often have. He silently looked at them and confirmed that everything was normal before turning his eyes to the messy scene.

His eyes swept across the chaotic ruins, and Duoti blinked.

"I'm sorry that we can't give them the courtesy they deserve due to our current situation," Zhe said aside: "But please rest assured, during this time, the mages have been staying indoors and conducting their research."

Duoti's gaze fell on Zhe and asked, "How long did it last?"

"From Moody's departure to your appearance." Zhe once again showed a regretful expression: "Obviously, their knowledge level is not enough to complete the research."

The unfinished meaning in the other party's words is clear enough.

If the Arcane Academy is interested in the research conducted by Maca and the others, and even wants to get an answer, it is best to let a mage with a higher level of knowledge conduct the research.

As for how to study?Of course, it is to come to the kingdom for the next step of research.

Just like Moody's warning, they are coveting the Arcane Academy.

Of course, there are many existences coveting the Arcane Academy.

As the most in-depth study of ether, the Arcane Academy has cultivated many mages for its independent existence, which itself means a complete and systematic way for spellcasters to rise, as well as mages who are constantly being cultivated.

Of course, this also means that if they are put into action, these pretenders will face hundreds of mages, including dozens of great magicians and several eighth-level mystics, as well as the most powerful existence in the world. One of the most powerful weapons - the arcane academy floating in the air, this is enough to dissuade some pretenders.

And Arcane Academy's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack location is its best barrier.

The land of God's Fall, the endless forest and the top of the mountains are the three routes to the Arcane Academy.

The first two are bordered by the Neiva Plain, allowing the army to arrive along the Neiva Plain, but they are dangerous enough to wipe out the entire army on the way.

The problem with the mountain tops, which are not considered dangerous, is that the Neiva Plain does not border it. What borders it is the South China Sea controlled by the Undersea Kingdom, and the wormhole where the worm mother is temporarily dormant.

This special geographical location prevented the possibility of a large-scale army arriving at the Arcane Academy.

This premise has allowed the Arcane Academy to maintain its independence for thousands of years, until now.

But now, this pretender, its geographical advantage is better than the Arcane Academy, the army cannot enter the land of God's Fall, but the opponent can use this advantage to directly reach the Arcane Academy.

Doti sighed inwardly, which is why he said Moody was too young.

This world is not a world that you pretend not to know and then gently uncover.

From the moment the kingdom appeared in the Land of God's Fall, it was destined that the kingdom would come into contact with the Arcane Academy - sooner or later the timing doesn't make any sense, the geographical location determines all of this.

As for whether such contact will bring war or peace?

No one will have an answer until the contact is over.

But all the instructors at the Arcane Academy knew one thing, refusing contact because of the fear of the other party's existence was the most stupid choice.

Knowing the strength of the enemy is better than knowing nothing about the enemy.

Of course, if you can turn potential enemies into friends, that's the best ending.

But the Arcane Academy has no precedent for friendly exchanges with other forces—except for the Salfa Federation, which is based on technical exchanges.

The history of the formation of the Arcane Academy and the lonely character of the mages finally created its style of living in a corner and going alone.

After Zai Zhe's voice fell, the scene fell into a sudden silence.

The fire is almost ready, and the next step of the dialogue can be carried out.

Zhe watched Duo Ti's expression change, made this judgment, turned to He Xingwen and said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be some excitement over there among the wandering merchants..."

"Excited?" He Xingwen reacted: "The player met him?"

"They have a kind of enthusiasm for trade, which comes from nowhere," Zhe said carefully, "You should be quite distressed."

The system commented on the side: "It seems that he doesn't want you to participate in the next conversation."

He Xingwen didn't answer the system, he glanced at Duoti, and said to Zhe: "I'll check the situation over there, and leave this to you?"

Zhe: "It's my pleasure."

He Xingwen nodded at him, paused for a moment before turning to leave, and glanced at Zhe.

The smile on Zhe's face faded, and he nodded slightly towards He Xingwen.

He Xingwen walked out of the city, waited until the distance was far enough, and then answered the system's words: "After all, sometimes, when the leader is present, some words are not so easy to say."

"It seems that you are very clear about your identity and his identity."

He Xingwen is always exceeding the judgment of the system, so that the system even takes it for granted: "I thought normal humans would care about this, but you don't seem to care about his behavior that he doesn't want you to be present? Based on what I know about humans, this seems Like a contempt for your authority."

"If I cared, it would, but I don't, so it doesn't."

"As a normal person, I don't think you have any reason not to care?"

"I always feel like you're saying I'm abnormal."

He Xingwen said: "But if something is so fragile that it needs to be emphasized by increasing the sense of existence and declaring dominance, then there is no need for it to exist at all."

There is one point that people may forget inadvertently, for example, He Xingwen is from the Department of Philosophy...

The Department of Philosophy is a very magical subject. It has no specific purpose, and the employment prospects are very bleak. Graduate and Ph.D. students seem to be the brightest future of this major.

People's only understanding of this is probably that it is easy to become a lunatic when learning and learning.

Of course, He Xingwen, who is a third-year undergraduate student, has no such worries for the time being, but philosophy has still changed him incomparably profoundly.

What it brings is a change in the mode of thinking, and the echoes of the thinking of countless sages are shining brightly in history.

In these echoes, people think about human beings themselves, the operation of society, the future and the past. They explore the illusory things, turn them into nutrients, and lead human beings forward.

"I mean, if you hand something over to someone, you'd better not get involved."

"Compared to me, Zhe is better at dealing with these things. If it is just for the so-called authority and requires everything to be decided by a noble king, then this king is not considered noble."

"All praise for force, strength, menace, and authority will eventually be lost with the loss of these external forces."

The system was really surprised by this: "A very sensible idea."

But the difference between humans and intelligent creatures is that they can never be absolutely rational, and emotions and hormones can easily dominate their actions.

Knowing this does not mean being able to do it.

The anger caused by the challenge of authority is enough to defeat all rational thoughts.

But He Xingwen has always shown an unimaginable restraint on this point.

He Xingwen looked up at the sky, the colorful stars in the strange sky showed its difference from the earth.

"When I knew that this was not a game, but another world, I thought about it for a long time, how should I deal with all this, in order to balance the responsibilities and pressure it brings."

This is a period of thousands of hours of thinking-in view of the comparison between the game and the real time, He Xingwen has more time than others.

"So, your final answer is to give the professionals 100% trust?"

"No, my answer is, do what the king should do, as a player."

System: "As a player?"

"The players do not belong to another world. The power and interests in the game are of no use to them. The fun brought by the game itself is the reason why they are addicted to it."

"I hope, I can enjoy this game."

He Xingwen withdrew his gaze from the sky, and walked out of the city: "On this basis, for the interests of the majority of people, for the interests of Hua, and for..."

He saw You, and the other party walked towards him quickly. Obviously what Zhe said that You was distressed by this was not just to distract him, but also a fact.

"For the value of life itself, do what a king should do."
