Chapter 1012 Academy City (VI)
Time passes day by day, but for these mages who came to Academy City, their lives have become more and more tense. Whether they are those who have passed the fourth round of assessment, or those who have not passed the fourth round of assessment,
It's all like this. The students below have to cram in all kinds of knowledge and go through a series of training. Lisa and others are not easy either. In fact, sometimes, they would rather not pass the fourth round of assessment.
.
The reason is very simple, that is Zhan's attitude towards magic.
In his words, magic is a tool, and mages are the users of the tools. In essence, they are no different from farmers, soldiers and even blacksmiths. This makes Lisa and others difficult to accept, although they are indeed considered the most popular in the Magic Empire.
The oppressive party, but this does not mean that they have enough consciousness to overthrow the entire system. In fact, what Lisa and others hope for is just to overturn the oppression of low-level mages by high-level mages, but overall
, this is still a problem in the mage circle, but when it comes to Zhan En's mouth, it has become an original institutional problem. If Zhan En's method is really followed, then not only the high-level mage will be finished, but even the
These low-level mages and apprentices will also fall into the same position as ordinary people.
Someone once tried to argue, but Zhan obviously dismissed it.
"There are elites in all walks of life. Do you think that blacksmiths who can create legendary weapons are not worthy of respect? No one values painters who can draw beautiful paintings? Do you think the popularity of bards with beautiful singing voices is still there?
There are fewer mages than you? Why is this? This is because their efforts have brought benefits to others. Do you think you are excellent as mages? But for a farmer, you are not as cordial as the owner of the tavern.
, Why? Because he can provide ale to the farmers who have worked hard all day, but what about you? What can you bring to him?"
Facing Zhan's rhetorical question, Lisa and others were dumbfounded and could not say a word at all. In fact, the mage circle and ordinary people are really two different worlds. Once you step into the mage world, you will face all day long.
There are all kinds of ancient books, magic patterns, and alchemical potions. As for everything that ordinary people have, they are almost completely isolated from mages. The two sides are completely two worlds. Of course, occasionally mages will produce them at the request of ordinary people.
There are some things, but this is purely due to financial considerations. Other than that, the mages do not feel that they will have any dealings with those low-level civilians.
But Zhan obviously would not allow them to do this. On the contrary, after refuting their remarks, Zhan kicked Lisa and others out of Academy City and went to the nearby pioneer land to help the people there.
Carry out production and planting, and euphemistically call it "going to the mountains and going to the countryside". This is also the first homework Zhan left for Lisa and others. He asked Lisa and others to use what they have learned during this time.
knowledge to solve the problems they encounter in production and life, and improve production efficiency. It also requires that these things must be produced in a process-industrial manner. They cannot be made by a few mages working together, and only mages can use them.
something.
This is simply arduous work for these mages. Although in the Sorcerer Empire, they work until late at night without any rest or benefits. If they fail to complete the task, they will be scolded and ridiculed by their mentors and colleagues.
, but after all, these are clerical jobs, which are completely different from picking up a hoe and facing the loess with your back to the sky.
Perhaps because it was far from the ideal, within a few days some people began to express their dissatisfaction and even clearly expressed their opposition. Zhan was also very determined in this regard. He said nothing to those who led the resistance to his orders.
Directly expelled from Academy City, go wherever you came from. Zhan En has no hope that he can persuade them to change their minds. Those who can pass the "Ladder to Heaven" test are all resolute masters. Since they have decided not to obey
If you don't want to accept such reforms even under your own orders, then you have no choice but to get out.
After killing a few of the happiest chickens and showing them to the public, the others finally began to calm down obediently. While experiencing this painful life, they began to think about how to solve their first homework problem.
At this time, Zhan will also face his most important test.
"I knew it was only a matter of time before you would come here."
Zhan kicked the door open with a "dong" kick, then strode into the room, then he pulled a chair and sat down, and then leaned there leaning there, staring at the desk in front of him.
, a man who looked to be over fifty years old and clad in black robes was sitting there quietly, watching him. Looking at Zhan En's appearance, the man smiled slightly.
"Haha, you are really energetic...it's good to be energetic, isn't it?"
"Come on, my father."
Hearing the man's words, Zhan En curled his lips.
"I guess you didn't expect that this unlucky guy like me would actually become a demon king in the end. You have high hopes for Klein... Okay, I also know that this is nonsense, but for now, if you want
If you want to have any kind of friendship with me, then there is no need."
"Of course I'm not here to make friends with you, Jenn."
Facing Zhan En's words, the man's smile did not change at all. His fingers moved slightly, and darkness swam between his fingers, like a living fish.
"We're all worried about where you're going to take this world."
Hearing what his cheap dad said, Zhan En raised his eyebrows, but did not answer immediately. In fact, he had already guessed that such a day would come.
Although he has the support of the ancient gods, Zhan En's identity is the Demon King, the Demon King of the lower world, and this will never change. He is not a god in the heavens, but what Zhan En is doing now is what those gods do.
What he did. This will naturally make the demon kings suspicious. If he did not have the support of the ancient gods, Zhan En believes that the demon kings would have sent him back down to drink tea and chat.
But even so, this does not mean that the demon kings will ignore it.
But luckily, Zhan naturally had a countermeasure already.
Therefore, facing his cheap dad, all that appeared on his face was a smile full of confidence.
"If I tell you clearly now that everything I do will not cause any damage to the lower world, but will also greatly increase the power of the lower world, will you think that I am lying?"
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
Hearing Zhan En's words, the man's eyes lit up, but his smile did not change at all. Zhan En seemed to have expected this, so he just shrugged his shoulders and continued.
"I think you can also see that under such conditions, the overall moral value of society will improve, but instead, the personal moral value will decline. I think you have not thought about such a problem...
But this is natural. The Klein Continent has been in this desperate state for thousands of years. There has been no change, so how can there be any experience?"
"So what you mean is...?"
"Only when life is better, evil and darkness will spread faster."
As he spoke, Zhan stood up, came to the man, looked at his cheap dad, and then he stretched out his hand.
"If you are interested, you can experience it directly to see if what I said is correct."
After hearing Zhan En's words, the man was silent for a moment, then he stretched out his right hand and slowly took Zhan En's outstretched hand.
