On weekends in Nelson, with a lot of traffic, bustling streets, and crowds, Sigma took Nina's hand and walked slowly through the noise and astonishment of sight, and what they were discussing was something that the occasional half-clawed pedestrians couldn't understand, and this was not the world they knew.

Because this is a vision of the future based on the history of civilization in another world.

Imagine what kind of development this sword and magic civilization can be achieved by the magic technology of the Norren Continent.

"When the magic technology has developed to a certain extent, when the state still has the strength to arm it with a new army, it is almost a sure thing to implement it as a field of people's livelihood." Sigma explained to Nina, "Because war is actually about national strength, logistics, food, weapons, and baggage...... When the two sides are evenly matched, when the war is in a stalemate, the side with sufficient logistics will have the last laugh, the defender with stronger fortifications will have the last laugh, and the attacker with higher mobility will have a greater chance of winning...... Productivity has determined so many things, from ancient times to the present, and even more so in the future, it will determine many more ......"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the neat houses on both sides: "Based on a variety of building needs, more accessible and stronger building materials will be discovered and invented, cities will attract more people because of more and more opportunities and more abundant materials, and explosive population growth will require more and higher houses, as well as more services, catering, medical and other industries, stimulating and prospering each other, so the cities of the future will be more magnificent and grandiose." It's like the realm of the gods in our dreams, the land of heaven. Fantasy country, this is the trajectory of the development of civilization. It's like the original human settlement, which was nothing more than a small village, but slowly built into a great city that never falls......"

He pointed to the horse-drawn carriages running leisurely in the middle of the main road: "The means of transport will be more mechanically powered, the animal-powered carts will become the traditional history, the road surface will be better, the transportation will be more convenient, the short-distance passenger transport, the long-distance passenger transport, and the transport of goods...... When more efficient transportation networks and means of transportation emerge, I don't need to explain what it means. ”

Nina listened quietly. From time to time, he looked sideways at Sigma's face, and there was both surprise and a faint nostalgia in his eyes.

This guy ...... He wasn't lying, maybe he was entrusted by his father on his deathbed. Maybe the two were in a state of hostility, maybe he did take his father's life, but his father didn't hate him......

The two people have the same point of view, and so do the world they look at and the future they imagine.

Even his thoughts...... Bolder than his father, and more authentic.

This substitute teacher who suddenly appeared and seemed to have a hole in his head. The moment is showing her a world that has never been seen before.

In his description, the skies will eventually be conquered, and civilian magic vehicles will take on the task of faster, more stable, and safer transportation, requiring months or even a year or two of long travel. Eventually, it will be compressed into short-term trips of less than a day, and the world, civilizations, will be more connected, which means more exchange and integration.

In his description. The leap in productivity will liberate too many things, the popularization of education. The traditional shackles of exploitation will be removed, and the flower of the free mind will bloom in more and more souls. Art, Creation, Awakening...... Perhaps in the distant future, human wisdom and the power of magic technology will completely outweigh individual force and magic cultivation, and become the decisive indicator of racial strength and military strength, and collective wisdom and strength will prevail over a qiē......

He said that after endless expansion and exploitation of resources, more and more powerful civilizations will eventually exhaust the energy and potential of this planet, for the continuation and continued strength of the race, set their sights on the distant sky, they will create magic airships that can travel in the universe, and carry out a new round of expansion towards the starry sky, he said that sooner or later human beings will have to have full contact with extraterrestrial life, whether it is the race in the remaining eight planets of the solar system, or the civilization that may exist outside the solar system, he said that communication and contact mean evolution and progress, Human beings may have three evolutionary paths - to maintain the purity of bloodline and genetic information, to maintain a pure human form, or to fully converge with the alien race and give birth to a new life that combines the best of both, or to confirm the supreme status of human beings among the races, but not limited to the so-called purity of blood, but to actively absorb the essence of foreign races......

He said, no matter how you look at it, the supreme route is more powerful, and pure-blooded and harmony are going to die.

"......," Nina sighed, "I always feel that what you just said is mixed with a lot of strange things, like nonsense, and has strong personal likes and dislikes......"

"Hmm...... The last paragraph is purely personal, don't worry too much about it, and in fact, I don't know what our future holds when Nolan's gravity can't bind the souls of the Terrans. Sigma looked at the sky, "After all, this world is more lively and exciting...... And it's a world guarded by the Father......"

But one thing is for sure - if humanity wants to break out of the atmosphere and enter the cosmic age, then the first thing to do, if not to mention anything else, is to beat the demons of Mars and Hell into shit......

Too much of a hindrance, they.

From the lava hell of Mars, he thought of the equally prosperous but more bizarre worlds on the eight planets of the solar system held up by the tree of life, except for Noren, so he thought of that starry night, when the angel unveiled a corner of this beautiful world to him, he thought of the angel of war far away in the heavenly heaven of Uranus, and thought of the awe-inspiring roar of the angelic sword blue fury.

I haven't seen Athena in a while...... Strange missing.

"......" Nina sighed suddenly, "Teacher, although I don't seem qualified to say such things, ...... Please respect me a little, when you're dating a girl, you're thinking about another girl, isn't that a bad beating? ”

Sigma's old face flushed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just thought about ......"

After he apologized, he raised his eyebrows: "How can Nina see that I'm thinking about other girls?" I thought this kind of scene would only appear in novels...... Is a girl's sixth sense sharp enough to be so sensitive? You can actually sense what the man next to you is thinking...... Where did you see that? Could it be that she found the shadow of another girl in the teacher's eyes? Or do you understand from my indifferent smile and deep eyes that I am a man with a story? ”

Nina snorted, "A lewd smile on her face." Swallowing saliva, his fingers subconsciously bent slightly. There was an obscene aura all over the body...... The teacher must be thinking about a girl with big boobs, right? ”

…… It's really a realistic and well-founded reasoning.

So Sigma raised his hand in surrender: "My bad. My fault, to apologize, please eat? ”

He pointed in the direction of Nelson's busiest business district: "Listen to Gilly, there is a snack street that she likes so much......"

"Can I go outside the city?" Nina interrupted him, "I want to go and see the farmland outside the city. ”

Just like other large cities of this era, each city would be surrounded by extremely vast farmland, and Sigma was a little surprised, but he nodded yes and chose the right direction. With Nina, head out of the city.

"My father came from a peasant family." Nina looked at the vast arable land in the distance and said softly, "He said that farmers and agriculture are the cornerstone of this country, feeding all people, and he said that they should be helped and respected the most." It was this group of people who worked hard in the land, and he said that the reason why he would strive to become a demon scholar was because he wanted to one day. To help them live a better life with his own efforts and sweat, he said that he would most like to be able to invent a magic machine that can regulate the weather. Control rainfall and disperse bad weather. Let them have a good harvest every year......"

So he invented that weather control instrument?

Sigma glanced at Nina, who was smiling and faintly proud, and the necromancer really didn't want to tell Sù about the girl. Although her father had gotten what he wanted, he had turned the magic machine into a terrifying murder weapon.

Nina didn't know what Sigma was thinking, so she turned her head and looked at the necromancer seriously: "Do you think that in the future, the life of the peasants will also be better like the people in the city?" You don't have to be saddened by disasters like droughts and floods, and you don't starve to death because of reduced yields and bad harvests......"

Sigma shook her head, "What's more...... I am afraid that in the future, Magic Technology will completely replace manpower and animal power, sowing and planting, harvesting and threshing in a more efficient way, a large amount of arable land will be concentrated together, and a very small number of people will operate the magic guide machine to complete agricultural operations, maybe in the future, more and more people will no longer want to be farmers, and will come to the city to live the better life they want......"

This is very different from the beautiful future that her father envisioned, Nina looked at an old farmer sitting under a tree at the edge of the field, and couldn't imagine what it would look like he would look like dropping his farming tools and walking towards the city with anticipation and a smile, but this qiē was so real, and she felt that it was so taken for granted by Guò Sigma's description along the way......

She said softly, "Is this the change that Magic Technology has made to this world?" Liberate them from the boredom and repetitive heavy work of farming, and embrace a more beautiful life......"

Sigma smiled and shook her head, "The most important thing is not this...... The liberation of manpower is only secondary. Magic technology has greatly increased productivity, fed more people, created more opportunities, and broken the inherent class shackles, allowing people to be liberated from the only need to fill their stomachs and obtain more and more spiritual wealth. Education is popularized, more opportunities are provided, and in the end, the people who were originally ruled will gain greater spiritual power and cognition, their wisdom will be opened, their spirituality will be enlightened, and they will realize ......"

The necromancer looked at Nina and said with a light smile: "Realize that the only function of the knee is to facilitate walking, not to kneel, to realize that everyone's soul is the same, and no one is nobler than the other, to recognize many rights that they were born with, and to be willing to unite and fight for those rights...... Enlightening the hearts of the ruled people and enabling them to look at the world is the biggest change that Magic Technology is about to bring to this world......"

Nina looked at Sigma in surprise.

These things are something that my father didn't think of......

What an unexpected person.

But in that case, father, such a fellow. It should be enough to inherit what you left behind......

Savoring Sigma's words, Nina admitted. Her impression of this person has changed a lot, and now look at him. It's getting more and more pleasing to the eye, and under this guy's unruly body and filthy heart, he unexpectedly has a see-through gaze and compassion......

Obviously, in Nina's heart, Sigma has been elevated to a democracy fighter and opinion leader, and even her tone has softened a lot: "If my father hears your words, he will be very happy, and he will regard you as the best friend in this world...... If you have the key in your hand that will make Nolan's magic technology move forward. Will you use it well, as you just said, to lead these ruled people in the fight for their birthright and legal rights? ”

Hearing this, Sigma glared and said, "...... I'm not stupid, why would I do such a stupid thing? ”

"Huh?" Nina thought she had misheard, "Why don't you do it?" ”

"Why should I do it?" Sigma spread his hands and said, "I am a nobleman, a mage, a big merchant, a feudal landlord, a reactionary intellectual, and a capitalist. As a top person in the vested interest class, it is not flattering for Mao to work hard for the rights of a group of mud-legged people, it's my business......"

Nina's girl's heart was ruined, and she said angrily: "Then you just said it so nicely! Didn't you say that sooner or later the ruled people will rise up and fight for the rights that rightfully belong to them? Now that you know this kind of thing. Why not help them? ”

"That's how it is." Sigma spread her hands and said, "Anyway, Yiqiē's critical views on the established system can be summed up in one sentence - I want money, women, and social status. When the mud legs are full, they will definitely come out to wave. This is an objective law of democratic development, even if I know about it. Why help them? Mother's old son doesn't have a sister yet. ”

Nina was so angry that she stretched out her hand to fight Sigma, the necromancer pulled her legs and ran, the two chased and fled, chasing and fighting on the country road, I don't know when, this has become a pure game, the provocative scolding and naughty complaining have gradually turned into laughter and begging for mercy, and the difficult topic has completely ended, the future of mankind or something, the progress brought by magic technology or something, is not something that a little girl needs to know.

I don't know how long it took, but Nina, tired of playing, sat on the ground, drowsy in the fragrance of the countryside.

Sigma picked her up on her back and walked in Nelson's direction.

Nina was half-asleep and half-awake, lying quietly on Sigma's back, listening to the whining of the wind, the chirping of birds and insects, this broad back was so warm, the fragrance of the earth was so familiar, it reminded her of when she was young, carried by her father, strolling along the country road, looking at the endless wheat fields on both sides, the golden waves rising and falling with the wind......

The good memories of the past are vivid, but the passage of time, the ups and downs of life, too many things have happened, there has been too much sadness, and what is lost can never be returned......

As if in a dream, as if in a low sob, her chin rested on Sigma's shoulder, and she murmured, "Father......"

Sigma was silent.

It wasn't until she returned to Manholin College that Nina woke up, and the girl quietly got off Sigma's body and silently handed him a silver necklace.

"What is this?" Sigma picked up the charm on the necklace and looked at it carefully in the sun, it had a very textured silver surface, and it was impossible to see what kind of substance it was made of for a while, and the appearance of the charm was like a small semicircle, and there was something like a clock dial in the middle, stretching out his finger and gently pushing, it could continue to rotate.

"When the time comes, you'll know." After a short period of excitement and happiness, reason and coldness returned, and Nina said coldly, "Of course, now it's yours, you can dispose of it as you like, and throw it away." ”

Sigma narrowed her eyes, "And what do you want me to do?" ”

Nina pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Always wear it close to your body, no matter what happens, don't take it down, don't give it to anyone......"

Sigma looked at the girl with a solemn expression, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Nina stared at the necklace with a mixture of remembrance and resentment in her eyes, and after a long time, she withdrew her gaze: "In this case, we don't owe each other...... Whether it is the hatred of killing my father, or your guilt and compensation for me, there is no longer zài, as long as you can keep this agreement with me and carry this necklace well. ”

I'll leave all the possibilities and future contained in this necklace to you.

Sigma hung the necklace around her neck and smiled, "Could it be that this is a blasting trap that will suddenly blow my neck away one day?" ”

Nina smiled softly, "Maybe it's even more dangerous than this......"

But there are also greater opportunities and glory hidden...... That's it, I can't let go of hatred, and I don't want too innocent people to die, in this case, let's put this possibility on you, leave a glimmer of life, whether they are dead or alive, just see if you can put life and death aside and save them like a hero......

I wonder what the future holds......

Because I didn't have a chance to see ...... (To be continued......)
