Chapter 705 Reform

"If you propose a world without magicians, aren't you directly negating all the efforts of this young lady in the past? Equivalent to a direct denial of the value of her existence? ”

With a few words, Arrow's [read zero zero www.00dushu.biz] had no way to respond at all.

This is a miracle for Coco next to him! After all, in her impression, it was the first person who could completely suppress his own president without relying on force, but only by reasoning.

Seeing that Arrow was now bowing his head and not speaking, Connor exhaled slowly and said, "So, now can you tell me why you have such a thought?" ”

In response to the teacher's question, Eero did not show any answer. The visible state on the side also raised his hand boldly.

Seeing Coco raise his hand, Connor couldn't help but laugh and said, "It looks like my students taught you very politely." You name it, cute little necromancer. ”

Coco nodded, and said in a slightly timid voice, "That...... Aren't you afraid of me? I'm a necromancer......"

Connor thought for a moment and said, "Say you're not afraid...... I admit I'm lying. But I think that since you brought it with Garcia, it must not be terrible. You say. ”

Although this answer did not directly express her trust in Coco, after looking at that face and melancholy eyes, Coco didn't care. In the next ten minutes, she began to tell everything that happened in Blood Swallow Town.

Connor was listening intently, too, and he nodded as he listened. Except for a few details that needed to be investigated, he interrupted the questioning, and the whole process he behaved as if he were a student listening to a teacher's lecture, quiet and calm.

"So...... So conservative teacher! ”

"Just call me Mr. Connor, there's no need to be so reserved."

"Huh? That...... Why does Mr. Conna only call the president's brother's last name? ”

"This one! What's this...... I can only say that I am used to it. ”

After a slight vagueness, Connor nodded lightly and said, "So, is that the main reason you two came to me today?" ”

Coco nodded hurriedly, looked very serious, and said loudly: "Yes! The elder brother has been thinking about this question on the way to Hanhai City. Mr. Connor, do you think we're doing the right thing? According to the elder brother, the townspeople of Blood Swallow Town are completely like a bunch of parasites, and they don't have any ability to resist at all! So...... So...... Coffee and milk are a fact that two people will die, which is almost impossible to change! ”

"But...... But! I was a little unconvinced! ”

"It's the one who is wrong! Why did it end up being the fault of the older siblings? Is their death really inevitable?! At that time...... At that time, can't we really just rush out, beat that fresh digger away, and then usher in a happy ending? ”

At this moment, Arrow also raised his head slowly, revealing a touch of earnest color in his eyes, and even looked at his teacher with a little expectation......

A slight regret appeared on Connor's face, and after thinking about it, he finally shook his head gently and said, "Poor boy...... Their deaths are truly tragic. ”

Exhaling, Connor continued, "Miss Coco, you should be glad you didn't make a move that day. Add...... Arrow, you're doing the right thing. No matter how excessive the affairs of Blood Swallow Town were, it was what happened between the ruler and the ruled in one of their towns. But if you, an outsider, command your guild to participate in this matter, then the nature of the matter will completely change. ”

"Your merfolk song will turn into an armed force against the Empire. After all, the Empire could never allow the existence of an organization where the mayor of the subordinate villages and towns could be slaughtered at will by his own preference. This is a very dangerous move for you. ”

Connor thought for a moment, then said, "But I can understand too, Miss Coco." I understand the feeling in your heart right now. It's really a bad feeling, to see the weaker side being bullied, tortured, and even reaching the worst end in the end...... I also felt uncomfortable seeing such results. ”

Coco immediately raised her head and said expectantly, "So...... So is there really no solution to this matter? If we encounter something like this in the future, can we still only watch the worst happen? ”

Coco's question is precisely Eero's question.

Now, along with his own members, he looked up at the economics teacher. Look at him...... Hopefully, a little hope can come out of his mouth.

"Of course not. And, of course, there are solutions. ”

In the midst of the long anticipation, the teacher's words were like a light tearing through the darkness, and instantly shone into Arrow's eyes! A happy smile immediately spread across his face, and he couldn't help but lean forward, hoping to hear the change more clearly!

"Reform. Our country needs to go through some reforms...... Some of the reforms that can be a little tough. ”

As he spoke, Connor took out a notebook from the small table, and after opening it, he looked at the various contents that were densely detailed on it, and said slowly—

"If you want to change this situation where a single magician can control the life and death of the whole town, and even make the townspeople unable to resist, the only way to do this is to carry out a deep reform."

"The first thing to do is to be able to better restrain the personal power of the magicians, so that the use of their magic must be more strictly supervised. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen the scrutiny of town mayors, and our country needs to be able to carry out deeper reforms in the taxation of various towns, and the first point is that the town mayors cannot be allowed to have the sole power to review the tax system. If necessary, all tax revenues in each town should be collected and managed by the state. Well, it's like two years ago, His Majesty the Emperor issued a decree requiring all guilds to return their tax authority to state management. ”

Speaking of this, Connor's face showed a slight smile, and he said slowly: "If this reform can be carried out smoothly, then presumably ordinary people should be able to live a better life in the future." And you don't have to be subject to such heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes. ”

Listening to Connor's current remarks about reform, this little girl didn't understand...... But not understanding it doesn't prevent her from feeling the sincerity in the eyes of this mature melancholy beautiful man! At the moment, she said excitedly, "So...... So Mr. Connor! With strict supervision, can such tragedies not happen again? That's great! How are we going to supervise the magicians? Well...... I may think it may be strange for me to say this, but who can supervise me? Is the president's brother responsible? ”

For Coco's innocent cuteness, Connor's face appeared with a slight smile of joy. He nodded lightly and said to Arrow next to him with a smile, "You really raised a good child. Generally speaking, a magician with an affinity for death magic would not have such a bright smile. ”

Arrow only nodded slightly, but did not speak directly.

After a moment's thought, Connor continued, "Overseeing this...... As I envisioned it, the Royal Society of Magicians was a ready-made organization, and it really might as well be able to make it work more effectively. ”

"Royal Society ???"

Coco, who seemed very happy just now, immediately lost most of the enthusiasm on her face after hearing the name.

A look of disdain appeared on her face and she said, "Let this association work? Don't forget, Mr. Connor, that the Mayor of the Fresh Digger I was talking about is actually affiliated with the Royal Wizards' Guild. ”

Connor nodded, smiling, "That's right. And, I know what you're thinking, little necromancer. You're wondering how you can let them monitor themselves, right? ”

Seeing that Coco stopped talking, Connor continued: "Actually, although the Royal Wizards Guild has always had a large number of people, it was only compared to other Wizards' Guilds. ”

"You should also know that the number of magicians has always been relatively rare, so even if a Royal Magicians Guild registers more than half of the magicians in the entire Blue Bay Empire, it is only four or five hundred. Most of the others are housekeeping workers, and although they can be considered members, their overall influence is completely negligible. ”

"What is the concept of an association of four or five hundred people? Well...... Let me put it this way, in the capital of our Blue Bay Empire, the number of guilds registered in Hanhai City is probably not less than three digits. Among them, the number of members of the top guilds did not exceed 500. And if you want to count the most powerful guild Heavenly Light, this powerful guild that has branches all over the country, just a remote town has one or two hundred registered guild members. ”

"So, the number of members of the Wizards' Guild is really nothing. It is precisely because the number of people is really not large, and the number of magicians recruited has not been stable, so even if it has the backing of the royal family, it is basically a semi-official and semi-private organization. ”

Coco was slightly stunned and said, "What is the number of recruited magicians unstable?" Don't all the magicians in the country think it's good to join this association? ”
