She said coldly: "Devils, it was you who destroyed the forbidden magic eucalyptus and allowed those evil monsters to completely occupy this kingdom."

"Just because of this, you deserve to be cut into pieces!"

"You..." Lux realized how extreme this woman was.

But considering that the other party was not a class enemy of the nobles, she was still willing to calm down and have a good talk with Vayne.

"Evil monsters? You mean... us mages?"

"Heh." Vayne answered in the affirmative with a sneer.

"You think we are all monsters? Why?" Lux reasoned patiently: "Just because we can do magic?"

"Madam, I know you have experienced very bad things. But you should not elevate individual behaviors to the whole, and then rely on an identity label to hate everyone who wears this label."

"There are indeed some bad people among mages, but..."

"Some?" Vayne interrupted her with a sneer.

She said rudely: "If you read my memories completely, you should know how many villains I killed among the mages."

"I have killed at least hundreds of evil mages. Can this be considered an example?"

"Of course." Lux replied without changing her expression.

No matter how "massive" an individual case is, it is still an exception. It cannot prove that all people in a group are so bad.

Using this kind of "collection of individual cases" deliberately collected to form an intensive bombardment of information, create prejudice, incite hatred, and divide the masses was originally the trick that the Piltover plutocrats used to unite the people of Piltover and deal with the people of Zaun.

They gave the Piltover people a better life and certain privileges, and deliberately allowed the Piltover people to discriminate and oppress the Zaun people. They were able to create a de facto division and transform class conflicts into conflicts between the Piltover people and the Zaun people.

inter-ethnic conflicts.

Does this kind of contradiction between different identities exist objectively? Of course it does. The Zaun people have indeed been bullied by the Piltover people. This cannot be just a matter of saying a few theories and pretending it doesn't exist.

But is it a fundamental contradiction? No. If you only think about defeating people with another identity and do not solve the fundamental contradiction, then there will always be bullied "Zuan people" in the world.

Levi has already written these in the article. Lux understands them very well.

"Deliberately collecting? Haha..." Vayne dismissed it: "Do you think I can still 'deliberately' find so many evil mages and kill them one by one?"

She usually kills mages whenever she sees them, so she doesn't care whether they are evil or not.

But her indiscriminate killing often never kills the wrong person.

Among the mages she met, nine out of ten were bad guys who deserved to die.

If you kill them all, there will definitely be injustice, but if you kill every other person, there will definitely be someone who slips through the net.

This made Vayne even more determined: "Mages are born demons. They all deserve to die!"

"This is the result that I have seen with my own eyes and verified personally. It is absolutely correct!"

"No!" Lux shook her head tit for tat: "Madam, maybe your experience is correct, and the data you calculated that 'nine out of ten mages are bad people' is true, but..."

"Your conclusion is still wrong!"

Huh? Vayne was slightly startled.

The experience is real and the data is correct, so how can there be mistakes?

"Because your data was compiled from the past Kingdom of Demacia."

What was the situation in the Kingdom of Demacia in the past? Magic was strictly prohibited by law, and mages were strongly discriminated against culturally.

There is no place for mages in society as a whole.

Just like Silas. He only awakened to magic when he was a teenager, and he didn't do any bad things. He was reported by his biological parents and sent to the Demon Searcher Corps.

And once the identities of the mages are exposed, if they are lucky enough not to be captured by the demon hunters, they will immediately fall into the desperate situation of being wanted across the country.

They are unable to work and live normally, so they can only hide and live in Tibet all day long, relying on some shady jobs to survive.

"Do you think a mage who grew up in such an environment can grow into a good person?" Lux asked in a serious tone.

Sona on the side also nodded secretly.

She and Lux ​​were both noble ladies, starting with the Celestial Dragons, and they had experienced so much grievance and pain due to being infected with demons.

What about those folk magicians?

They have been living in discrimination and oppression from the whole society, and they are even born with serious crimes of being possessed by demons. How can they become good people who abide by the law?

Would a fugitive who has been sentenced to death still be afraid of murder and arson?

So in Demacia in the past, nine out of ten of the folk mages who survived were bad guys.

"But is this because they are born bad? Or is it because the suffocating racial oppression forces them to take this path?" Lux asked seriously.

"This..." Vayne was speechless for a moment.

"So you are wrong." Lux took advantage of the victory and said: "You did not consider the strong correlation between the environment and variables at all, and subjectively came to a wrong conclusion because of personal hatred."

This is actually a statistical trap.

Doing statistics in old Demacia, which was extremely discriminatory and oppressed against mages, would of course only yield the result that "magicians are all bad people."

Similarly, the Piltover plutocrats in the past always kept telling the people that the Zaun people were the ethnic group with the highest crime rate. Is this true?

Of course.

The people of Zaun are so poor that they almost sell their kidneys, so the crime rate is certainly high.

The Zaun community is a veritable cesspit, and even Zaun people like Levi themselves despise it.

But does this lead to the conclusion that the Zaans are born bad and born criminals?

Are they really inherently evil, or has the social environment molded the Zaunians into this way?

"Using the same logic, you can come to more outrageous conclusions."

"For example, the mortality rate of patients in large hospitals is higher than that in small clinics, so doctors in small clinics have higher standards."

"There has never been an accident involving a female miner in the Miylin City Coal Mine, so women are more suitable for coal mining than men."

"Demacia has won more than lost in past border defense battles, so Demacia is the world's most powerful country, and Noxus is not worth mentioning at all."

"..." Lux cited several examples in succession, making Vayne choked to the point where she could not speak at all.

"Now, can you realize your mistake?"

"You are not doing scientific statistics at all, but interpreting the data subjectively with hatred."

This move was actually used by the Demon Searcher Corps in the past.

Their purpose is to prove the "racial inferiority" of those infected with demons and incite mortals to reject and hate mages, thereby ensuring the legitimacy of their own existence and protecting their own interests.

And Vayne is...

"You are blinded by hatred, madam." Lux sighed softly: "You are just believing in the result that you want to believe."

"If you don't believe it, you can make another statistics... Ask the current Demacians, are there so many bad guys among the mages they have seen?"

With the abolition of the forbidden magic eucalyptus, many good mages and citizens who did not dare to reveal their identities and lived a low-key life have gradually come to the light of day.

If we do statistics at this time, there must be more good people among mages.

"No...I don't believe it!" Vayne gritted her teeth and refused to bow her head: "This is just your disguise! Just like you, the devil..."

"On the surface you act like a well-loved and good lord, but secretly you are colluding with those Freljord mages and are organizing a secret underground mage association here!"

"Who knows what conspiracy is hidden behind your beautiful appearance!"

"Huh?" Lux was slightly startled: "Collude with the Freljord mage...underground society?"

She thought for a while, then looked back at the factory not far away: "You mean...that factory?"

"That's right!" Vayne looked over coldly: "Tell me, what do you want to do by gathering so many ice mages under the guise of opening a factory?"

"Uh..." Lux and Sona looked at each other.

Then, they smiled helplessly and said: "Of course it's to open a factory!"

Lacus pointed to the sign hanging at the door of the factory and said, "Didn't you see it? It says everything on it -"

"Mithril City Ice Factory." That's what the factory's signboard says.

This is an ice-making factory. And the reason why those Freljord mages were organized here is to...

"Ice making?" Vayne was stunned for a moment.

Then she immediately sneered: "Ha! Do you think I'm a fool?"

"If you use the manpower of mages to make ice, will your ice be sold for more than gold?"

Although she hates mages extremely, she also recognizes that magic is a scarce resource.

If you let a high-level talent like a mage make ice by hand, then you have to go to your grandma's house?

"No." Lux shook her head and explained seriously: "What we produce is not ordinary ice."

"What these shamans produce is magic ice."

Zhenbing, legend has it, comes from the wings of the frost bird Avonia. It was she who used elemental magic to create Zhenbing.
