Act 147. innovation

On the evening of the meeting, in the hotel restaurant where the mercury scales gathered, the invited Reiner became the center of attention.

The law of the elements, the discovery that this alchemy mage has been haunted by for hundreds of years, was actually proposed by a one-ring mage, which is surprising and thought-provoking.

"Maybe as we move forward, we should also go back and look at the things that we have overlooked."

President Dmitry said, holding a small half glass of red wine in his hand, mellow in color and full of aroma.

"Without the exploration of your predecessors, Your Excellency Dmitry, how can future generations summarize from it."

Reiner praised, causing President Dmitry to bow slightly.

"Reiner, in fact, not only the mercury scales, but also other organizations have a high opinion of you, and your proposal to establish a relief fund and reward research on radioactive elements is very much in line with His Excellency Braggs's proposal, and it is no wonder that it will be supported."

"Lord Braggs' claim?"

Reiner asked rhetorically, he hadn't studied the Lord's experience, and the reason why he proposed these mechanisms was to promote this research, and he didn't want Fina and her father to have their affair happen again somewhere.

"Oh, this is the history of many years ago, and it's normal for you, as a person who has just become a mage, not to know."

President Dmitry took a sip of red wine and continued.

"In fact, Lord Braggs has not only created a modern magical system, but also changed the relationship between mages and civilians."

"The relationship between mages and civilians?"

Reiner had heard of these things for the first time, and he didn't know much about the events of three hundred years ago, but from what President Dmitry meant, Lord Braggs was more than just a learned mage.

"That's right, during the period of the ancient magic empire, the relationship between ordinary humans and mages was not so kind, most of the mages became lords with their own strength, mages dominated the whole world, and ordinary humans were just simple slaves to them."

President Dmitry said lightly, much to Reiner's shock.

"In that era, mages were the rule, almost all mages lived in the cities near the star gate, while ordinary humans lived in the countryside, it was rare to see a mage, every year, there will be some children among ordinary humans who awaken the magic power of a ring of mage level, and these children will be sent to the town to learn magic from their mentors, which is the inheritance model of ancient mages."

With a sigh, he continued.

"Bloodline mages are similar to ancient mages, except that they are more radical, raising ordinary people to constantly give birth, transforming children into bloodlines, and those who can withstand it are qualified to survive, otherwise they can only become deformed monsters, or become food for livestock, in short, in the era of the ancient magic empire, mages are in control of everything, condescending to look down on all living beings."

It's a bit like some of the societies he sees on Earth, Reiner thought, and he asked.

"Lord Braggs changed all that?"

"That's right, to be honest, what mage doesn't want to be able to dominate all things, most of the mages of the ancient magic empire that has lasted for thousands of years in the past think so, they have power, ordinary people can't resist at all, and who is also a mage, who is willing to hand over their power?"

President Dmitry drank the wine from his glass and said.

"But that kind of society, in the words of His Excellency Pragues, is too inefficient."

"Too inefficient?"

Reiner expected to hear adjectives such as inhuman or cruel, but he didn't expect it to be inefficient.

But if you think about it, this is indeed a reason that a mage would make.

"The inheritance of mages requires a lot of time to learn, and the accumulation of various magic materials, if you use the original model, you have to experience at least hundreds of failures if you want to complete a inheritance, in the past, there are many mages who have not appeared in their territory for many years with talented children, and their life spans have reached the end of their lives, resulting in the severance of the inheritance, even if it is a bloodline mage, there will be a problem of the decline of bloodline power from generation to generation."

Asked the waiter to pour another glass of wine, President Dmitry said with a slight sigh.

"Braggs realized that the conservative approach of the past was too inefficient to really make the wizarding world bigger, and the first thing he did was to simplify magic and make it much more popular."

The popularization of magic has given ordinary people a certain amount of power, they no longer have to be bothered by beasts and natural disasters, and their production efficiency has been greatly improved, and at the same time, after the number of ways to contact magic has increased, the number of people who can awaken their magical talents has gradually increased, although in a sense, the status of mages has declined, but for the entire magical world, it is an improvement.

"His Excellency Pragues's establishment of a magic school, the training of magic apprentices, the establishment of a thesis review mechanism, and the encouragement of people to explore and study the world have caused more feedback in the world over the past three hundred years than the three thousand years of the ancient magic empire combined."

President Dmitry said that in the past, ancient mages and bloodline mages had never seriously explored the laws behind the world, and they relied purely on meditation and bloodline transformation to accumulate magic power, which required too much talent and physical fitness, and very few could become high-level mages.

"So, after the establishment of the Magic Association, the mages also restrained themselves and formulated many provisions to protect ordinary people, which seems a bit incredible, but it is such rules that can make the whole world develop in a good cycle."

Hearing this, Reiner also understood why President Dmitry would say that his ideas were inherited from His Excellency Braggs, because whether it was the establishment of a fund for the treatment of Fitzruyne syndrome or the monetary reward for researchers, it was a concept of sustainable development that coincided with His Excellency Braggs.

"The mage is a rational creature, Reiner, the more you study in the future, the more you will realize this, the reason why the current social structure has been formed is not because of benevolence, but because of the peaceful development of mutual respect can get the greatest benefits."

President Dmitry's words got Reiner in thought, but he quickly added.

"But like Kelavin. Nor will we mock the 'irrational' behavior of a mage like Nabisteen, who dedicates himself for the benefit of the greater world, because, as His Excellency Braggs said, magic makes us stronger, and morality makes us more noble. ”

Reiner nodded silently, as if he had realized.
