"However, it turned out that this was not possible, and 'equality' was just an illusion. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I've traveled all over the mountains and rivers, and I've traveled all over the four continents, and finally I found out—"

"This is a world of demons and immortals, unless in this world, there is no superhuman power, no more spells, no more immortals, no more Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, no more monsters, no more supernatural powers that decide the life and death of others with a snap of your fingers."

"Otherwise, this inequality will never be eliminated."

"Monsters, they can only be the pets of gods and Buddhas."

"It's a very sad thing."

After a flurry of words, Mel finally stopped, and finally let out a long sigh.

In fact, he originally just wanted to answer Jiang Liuer's question and answer the question about "eyes".

But I don't know why, I said so much at once, and said everything.

Mel...... You're right, it's hard to have equality in this world. Jiang Liu'er looked at the little gray and reddish eyes of the Rat King, "I used to fantasize that this world should be equal, but after a period of travel, I found that it is a very huge project to achieve equality. ”

He couldn't help but think of the scene where the black bear spirit woman died at the feet of Guanyin.

If the black bear spirit is stronger than Guanyin, then it is impossible to die, this is an interracial contradiction.

Yes, from what Mel said just now, he can finally understand why Mel wants to set up the law in the Yellow Wind Law regarding all preferential treatment of rats - it turns out that he doesn't want to engage in any privileged class, he wants to achieve interracial equality, and wants everyone to gradually accept the identity of rats.

However, this is also impossible to achieve - yesterday's actions of the youkai have already represented everything.

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, this is also Jiang Liuer's thoughts along the way, the most obvious point is-

As long as a youkai dares to expose the idea of cannibalism, he will be the first to punch it and beat that youkai to ashes.

Now that I think about it, this is also a manifestation of the perpetuation of "inequality".

Jiang Liu'er was the first time, and it was also a rare time, he suddenly felt a little like laughing-

You see, even he had an idea of inequality in his own heart, and he didn't even realize it before.

So, how can this concept of "equality" be realized?

"Mel, actually, I came here to apologize to you."

The two were silent for a moment, and after a while, Jiang Liu'er remembered the purpose of coming to see Mel this time, and opened her mouth to break the silence: "In the middle of the night last night, I couldn't control my curiosity and ran to visit your palace secretly without asking for your permission...... I'm sorry. ”

"Oh, you're talking about it."

However, after listening to his friend's apology, Mel waved his hand, and didn't seem to care: "Actually, I know, as soon as you opened those rooms yesterday, I sensed that because there had been a theft of the treasury before, I set up a spell barrier in the palace, and no one could hide it from my eyes." ”

"I see, spells are such a handy thing."

Jiang Liu'er nodded, he didn't know how many times he said this.

"yes, spells are a handy thing." Mel very much agreed with his friend's opinion, "Because it is so convenient, everyone and all the monsters go to practice spells, and the rest is only to respect the gods and Buddhas, and no one will think about anything other than spells, and then there will be no equality in this world anymore." ”

“……”

"Mel, I suddenly understand why you invented the steam engine." Jiang Liu'er sighed.

"Steam engine?" The Rat King gave him a strange look, then suddenly realized, "You mean the machine that's still under construction, right?" That's just a prototype of what I envisioned, and it's still in the development stage. But I didn't call it a 'steam engine', I was going to call it 'Mel Perpetual Motion Machine', of course, it's just a nice name...... Could it be that this thing also exists in the human world? ”

"Not yet, with the current level of human development, there will be no ...... for at least one or two thousand years" Jiang Liu'er shook his head, thought about it and changed his words, "But according to the situation in this world, tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of millions of years, this kind of thing is impossible." ”

Unless a little more people like you, Mel.

This is what Jiang Liuer did not say.

Then he remembered what Lingxiu had said, and couldn't help but ask again: "Mel, what is the use of researching this kind of thing?" What is the significance of your research? You should know how ridiculous such a thing is in the eyes of gods and demons. ”

"In order to achieve equality that is 'impossible to achieve.'"

Listening to Jiang Liu'er's question, Mel almost blurted out: "Only by finding something that can replace spells, finding something that ordinary people and ordinary monsters can use, and gradually amplifying the influence of this kind of thing, can it be possible to extinguish the slightest trace of ordinary people's longing or fantasy for demons and immortals." ”

"Only by breaking this thinking can we take the next step of 'equality'."

"So, I continued to research and explore, five hundred years of travel, five hundred years of exploration, until the last few years, I finally found a hint of tricks."

"That's 'machinery and power'!"

"What is a spell? It's something that replaces 'manpower'. ”

"The reason why people look forward to magic is, in the final analysis, that magic is separated from 'manpower'."

"You don't need to do it yourself, just wave your fingers, and spells can help you do anything."

"With spells, you don't need to use a scythe yourself, and with a wave of your fingers, the crops are automatically harvested; With spells, there is no need to weave cloth by hand, and the cloth can be woven automatically with a wave of your finger; Even clever spells can turn stones into gold, as long as you sit at home, you don't have to do anything, you can stretch your hands and open your mouth. ”

"There are often similar myths and legends among the people, and most of them are—"

"As long as you marry a fairy wife, then the husband will no longer have to work."

"That's why spells are so convenient, so fantasized and worshipped."

"So, how do you break that mindset?"

"Unless it's to find something that can replace a spell, something that's as convenient as a spell."

"Jiang Liu'er, you left in a hurry last night, and you only saw the coal, only the prototype of Mel's perpetual motion machine, but you didn't see the whole picture of all the rooms."

"Not only is Mel perpetual motion machine, but I'm also working on creating machines that can weave cloth automatically, plough and harvest automatically."

"I believe that as long as these are all done, I believe that as long as they are extended to the human world, I believe that in time, maybe a year, ten years, a hundred years, even a thousand or ten thousand years, as long as people continue to use the 'machinery and power' that I have created—"

"All people, all newborn monsters, will no longer look forward to those powerful demon immortals."

"All species will no longer have any desire for sorcery."
