Chapter Eighty-Seven: Breaking the Rules
"Neuer. β
"Teacher!" Neuer was caught by Lipsus as he stared at the notebook.
"You've been a little nervous lately, and that's not the attitude you should have. Lipsus criticized with some harshness.
"Yes, teacher, I will correct it. Neuer collected his thoughts as he thought about how to hide it.
Lipsus looked down at the gifted student he had chosen, and said in a good voice: "Young people are easily attracted to certain things that look good, and even indulge in them, but when they grow old, they will regret their inaction. β
Neuer felt that he had been told something in his heart, and rubbed his hands together as if he were a little weak.
Knowing that he couldn't say too much about this kid, or it would backfire, Lipsus asked instead, "What do you think about space magic?"
Liepsus's greatest admiration for Neuer's talent is his creativity, which he trusts the student to come up with.
"I'm wondering if the appearance of this magic is a good thing or a bad thing for humans. β
The idea had never crossed Lipsus's mind, so he was all the more sure of the student's worth, and it was only fitting that he should inherit his mantle.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because...... This magic breaks the original rules," Neuer said bravely when he saw the teacher's encouraging eyes, "The distance that used to take one step at a time can now be done with just one thought, which means that this world has lost its sense of distance for space magic." Students feel that it destroys the laws of space. β
"The law itself is meant to be broken, don't you think that this space is binding human beings, and space magic is the key to breaking the shackles of space. Lipsus didn't mind having a conversation with the student, who was a hundred years younger than himself, for there were no laws governing him at all.
"Should all the laws be broken? Ethics, survival, politics, business, there are laws in these areas, and if they are all broken, the world is likely to be in chaos. There is a clear implication in Neuer's sentence that as a teacher, killing a student's parents is in itself a violation of the law of ethics and morality.
Lipsus did not notice the meaning of Neuer's words, and asked, "How can we establish new laws without breaking the old laws?"
"But space magic doesn't establish new laws of space, it just breaks, not rebuilds. Neuer is equally arguing.
"Child," Lipsus smiled rarely, "breaking a law is itself a new law. Perhaps, the laws of space have not been broken by us, but we have discovered new laws of space. β
Neuert was lost in thought. Space magic is not omnipotent, and there is always a limit to the spatial barriers it can break. Although with the help of space magic, he can reach any place in this world, but what about the bigger world? In addition to this planet, there are also larger worlds, including Lin Qian's world, can his arrival be done by space magic? Space magic has only broken through the space barriers within this world from a low level, and it is still bound by the laws of space.
"This rule must be changed. Lin Qian frowned and looked at the old magician in front of him.
"This is a rule that the empire has not changed for decades......, how can it be easily changed?
"What's the matter with the princess?" Lin Qian said unhappily, "This is our internal matter. I said a long time ago, I can decide all the matters of this guild by myself, and it has nothing to do with any forces!"
"Yes, my subordinates will do it. The old magician sighed and bowed his head.
Until now, many of Lin Qian's subordinates still didn't know what the purpose of this so-called Higher Magic Academy was. In their eyes, the academy was nothing more than Lin Qianxin's tool for collecting money, at the cost of paying a little edge magic secret.
People are selfish, and anyone will want to keep their magical research results for themselves, or only pass them on to their cronies and family. Lin Qian's academy obviously broke this rule, not only some family magic, but now even some things in royal magic were used by Lin Qian as teaching materials.
Although he knows the vague relationship between Lin Qian and the princess, the people below are still a little unable to let go of things, who can believe that this Lin Qian who suddenly appeared will always be "favored", in case the princess looks at him unpleasantly one day, these things will be irreparable. Therefore, Lin Qian has always been committed to cultivating people who belong to his cronies and can completely obey his command without being restricted by the rules of the empire.
Madeli, this is a candidate that Lin Qian has been looking for recently, he is the ninth-level magician who held up an enchantment on a sea ship to attract fierce beasts when he went to the South Seas last time. In terms of strength, he is enough, after all, the ninth-level magicians in this world are already scarce resources; in terms of loyalty, he has also experienced a good test; as for his ability to do things, he can be said to be very reckless and reckless, and sometimes he will do things extraneously, which is also a place that makes Lin Qian difficult.
To be honest, there is a more suitable candidate by Lin Qian's side, to be exact, it is Long Xuan. Raymond can also take on this role, but his status as a dragon powerhouse makes Lin Qian feel that it is not appropriate to hold a position in a human race, and it is more appropriate to find a human to do so.
"Lord, do you have something to do with me?" Madeley strode in, he never deliberately liked his superiors, which was also one of the aspects that Lin Qian liked him.
"Well, the position of the president of the Crystal City chapter, I decided to let you give it a try. Lin Qian directly handed over this important position to him.
"This ...... Are you serious, President?" said Madley, dumbfounded. He is self-aware, although he is in his forties, but he is not weaker than many young people in doing things recklessly.
"Of course it's true, Crystal City is relatively close to the location of the Seven Great Families in the North, and it is rich in scarce resources, magic crystals, and it is a strategic place second only to Azure City. I hope you will be mentally prepared before you take office, and you will be careful in doing things in the future. Lin Qian briefly explained.
"It's over?" Madeley was a little puzzled, these three or two sentences were finished? That's the most important Crystal City!
"Well, it's over. Lin Qian is a little funny, Madeley's personality is indeed not suitable for being an errand subordinate, and his understanding of the meaning of leadership is too simple, maybe it's okay to be a leader.
"Well, good. Then I'll get ready to take office. Madeley said yes and was leaving.
"βand so on. "This time it's Lin Qian's turn to be puzzled, such an important position has been handed over to him, won't he even say a word of promise?
"Is there anything else you have to say, or is there anything else you want to ask?" Lin Qian reminded.
"Hmm...... That's right. I almost forgot to go to the teleportation array in a while and I needed your approval to enter!"
Lin Qian was speechless for a while at this guy's sluggishness, and couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, so he had to let him try it first and observe the situation for a while.
"I've already informed them, you can go straight to it. β
The Ice Plains Sanren on the side looked at Madeley's distant back, and couldn't help but say, "Childe, what else do you have to worry about? Isn't such a person exactly what you want? β
"Wrong," Lin Qian shook his head, "What I want more is that he will be able to read words and looks, he understands the meaning of everyone's words, but he still maintains his own way of acting, does not follow the crowd, and does not deliberately please." β
"That's a bit too high. Bingyuan Sanren was stunned for a moment and said.
"Although this requirement is high, there are still many people who can meet this standard. As long as we establish new rules and determine status only according to ability, I believe that there will be more and more such people. Lin Qian said confidently.
"Childe's idea is really unique. Although this sentence had the meaning of praise, there was no meaning of praise in the tone of Bingyuan Sanren, obviously he felt that Lin Qian was too arrogant.
"Because I'm not from this world. Lin Qianhui smiled faintly.
"Your world...... Is this the rule?" Bingyuan Sanren was a little envious, it turned out that there was a world where status was really determined by ability, which reminded him of the fact that he was left out by his family because of his health.
"No," Lin Qian remembered that world with some sadness, "that world is full of deceit, even more so than this world. For the sake of a little profit, the people of that world can throw away a lot of things. Family, love, and friendship are not as real as money and power. And money and power often determine the person's social status, and he can rely on this status to grasp greater resources and earn more money and power. Those who have the ability suffer from having no way out, and they are frustrated everywhere in reality, and many of them begin to be assimilated by society in order to survive, and even identify with their own reality and the essence of that society. Many people in that world say that people who can't adapt to society are destined to be eliminated by society, and I think I'm just a residue that has been eliminated by that society. β
"So Childe, you ......"
Lin Qian nodded: "In that world, I don't have any ability to change all this. But in this world, I think I already have a certain ability, I don't want to live two worlds, and I am still trying to adapt to society. I should create my ideal world, I want to break the old rules, I want to establish new rules, I want to make the world try to develop on the right path. β
"I'm afraid it's going to be a lot of hard work for you. β
"When I came into this world and went through some difficulties, I thought, is there anything more difficult than trying to live in this magical world? β
