Chapter 770: Exchange Meeting (2)

"I'm Christopher, low-level manager," the man said, "I know you're higher than me, but this is Santas, and everything is done according to the rules. ”

I said, "First of all, there is no rule that does not allow magical pets or golems to enter the library to read, and secondly, Ricardo is an spirit that I summoned from the Atlas and is essentially the same as the Tower Spirit, so he didn't break any of the rules anyway." ”

"Just because there are no rules doesn't mean you can act recklessly," Christopher said, "rules and laws are made by people, and people can't predict all possibilities, so in the absence of rules, take into account the emotional and moral needs of other people, just as you can't eat at the same table with your servants, although it's not a crime, it's a desecration of your status!" ”

"Since you know that this is Santas, and you, as a low-level administrator, are qualified to talk to me like this, don't say such things, the so-called status is the vulgar of the secular society outside," I said, "and, don't forget, our identity is magician, not the aristocrats outside, and our emotional and moral needs should not be the same as those laymen, to be precise, only by putting aside the world and looking at the world with a rational gaze, can we understand the nature of magic more deeply, You think that demon pets and puppets are not qualified to sit inside and read books like us, is a stubborn secular prejudice! ”

Christopher was a little dazed by what I said, but he still insisted on his own argument: "This is just your personal understanding!" I can't, can't represent everyone's emotions and needs, and neither can you! Perhaps, the solution to this matter is not for us to debate here, but for everyone, including the owner of the tower, to make an open and fair statement, and then add such a clause to the rules. ”

I suddenly admired this guy and smiled and said, "Very good, agreed to do this." ”

Karlistov didn't expect me to react like this, and was a little stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said a little embarrassed, "Well, I, I agree with this approach." ”

I immediately said to Taling, "Alphacom, is it possible to call a general vote?" ”

Taling immediately said, "There is no problem, it has been submitted to the three sages, but they can't receive it for the time being, please wait, it is estimated that there will be a reply within today." ”

I said, "Okay, I'm going on an adventure tomorrow, and it's best if I can solve it today." ”

Then he said to Christopher, "So, Lord Christopher, take your leave." ”

Christopher hurriedly said, "No, no, in front of you, I can't afford to be called Your Excellency." ”

I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you know, the owner of the tower doesn't like this." ”

With that, I took Ricardo with me and walked to the meeting venue.

In fact, there is a street on both sides, and there are five streets in total, like a round cake that is evenly divided into five parts, and the only trouble is that there is no shortcut, and you must go back to the fountain at the corner of Pentagon.

"Isn't it disappointing that you didn't make a fuss?" I asked Leo.

"That's normal," Leo said, "If you're like Yaya, you're brain-dead everywhere, taking revenge, slapping your face and killing your mouth, then it proves that the entire Mage Tower is not saved......"

Ricardo suddenly asked me, "Father, why didn't they treat me as a whole person?" ”

I said, "It's their stupid bias." ”

Ricardo said, "Doesn't it say that a wise and complete soul, even a complete person, is worthy of respect, and that all souls are equal?" Also, there are many differences between the books in there and the books at home, but I don't have time to verify them. ”

I said, "The verification of things, I will do it step by step later, as for the complete personality and equal soul, there are still many people who can't understand, don't worry, one day, people will realize this." ”

With that, we have arrived at the so-called seminar and exchange venue.

In fact, it was deep in the street where the vocational skill level was tested.

No one greeted us at the door, so we walked in, and Taling led us into a small passageway, and then into a small box.

"Slightly criticized." Leo said.

The small box was located on the edge of the seat hall, a little higher than the ordinary seats, a little lower than the rostrum, surrounded by walls on three sides, and there was a low balcony railing on the side facing the venue, which was considered to take care of the diminutive goblins and gnomes, but for me and Ricardo it was the height of a foot.

Sitting on the chair in the box, the seats below can be seen at a glance, but the seating road is not very high, and it can accommodate 500 people, and only more than 200 people are seated.

"Five hundred......," I counted in my heart, "plus the boxes and the rostrum on both sides, there are less than six hundred, is this the total number of mages in Santas?" ”

"Yes," replied the Taling, "as of yesterday our total number was five hundred and seventy, of whom thirty-five were in the swamp and had not returned for more than five days, and could not be determined. ”

"What is the number of people settled within Santas, plus the number of people who are moving?" I then asked.

"The number of settlers is eighteen hundred, including all sorts of warrior professions, as well as assistants, servants, and craftsmen," said Taling, "and the itinerant helpers come in about five hundred a day from outside the field, and about three hundred from the heterotope planes who come often. ”

"What about the settlers out there?" I pressed on.

"There are about 50,000 people living in the station, and the floating population is not fixed, but recently there are two or three thousand per month, and less than one thousand when it is rare." Taling said.

"It's a small town in China, not even a city," Mr. Leo said, "but in some Western countries it's a small city." ”

"On the grassland, this is a thunder city." I say.

"In the human realm, this can be considered a small city," said Taling, "of course, it is not accurate to measure it in terms of population, after all, if you count the Mage Tower, even if you count the Mage Tower, even if you have a population of 300,000, you can't compete with us, whether it's war, agriculture, or economy. Taling said.

"Fifty thousand people, five hundred mages, each one is one in a million." I said, "What about humans or elves?" ”

"That's even more disparity, the overall human population is about 1.1 billion, which is the number of twenty years ago, but the total number of magicians is less than 60,000, which is a 1 in 20,000 probability, however, it is said that there are many unregistered or wanted magicians, plus evil and depraved warlocks and necromancers, this number can barely reach 100,000 ......"

I said, "Well, there's really no way to do the exact statistics." ”

We were chatting here, and there were already people sitting on the podium, including the Ann Trustee, and it seemed that there were a few other stewards, as well as some magicians who were a little famous.

The audience, of course, are all low-level and pre-intermediate magicians.

The pre-mages didn't even have seats, so they had to stand at the back and listen.

Of course, I'm also an observer, but it's a VIP seat.

I said to Ricardo, "Listen to their views and use them as your own reference." ”

Ricardo nodded, "I will." ”

At this time, the exchange meeting can be regarded as the beginning.

The host of the meeting was an elf, and I asked Taling, only to know that this was the son of an elf member of the Tatu Society, but the life span of the elf was determined, as long as it was not too old, it was not much old, so there was not much difference in appearance between the magician who presided over it and his father.

Next to the elven host are a few "young" elves, plus a few middle-aged and young humans, as well as orcs and representatives of other races, including the Ann Trustee, who are generally not very old. Including the trusteeship, it seems to be an old man, but he is actually older than my father and much younger than my grandfather.

The moderator got straight to the point and said, "This year's symposium has officially begun, and first of all, let's welcome new faces. ”

With a wave of his hand, a group of visible points of light flew out of his hand, flying like sand scattered across the audience, landing on the heads of some people.

These included some low- and middle-level magicians, as well as preparatory magicians who stood in the back and listened. Others are probably "old faces".

The old faces applauded, but they didn't see any welcome or joy, and even a little perfunctory.

Of course, the old face means that there hasn't been any breakthrough for the whole year, which is indeed a bit humiliating.

Looking at the face, you can see that there are not many intermediate magicians, and they are not particularly uncomfortable, after all, it is not a matter of one or two years to break through from intermediate to advanced, and there is no shame in delaying it for a few years. Low-level magicians are a little more embarrassing, after all, it is relatively easy to become a low-level magician, and it is only a matter of time before a low-level mage is promoted to an intermediate level, not as difficult as an intermediate to an advanced level.

The most depressed thing is probably the old face among the prep magicians, and it is shameful enough to stand in the back for two years in a row.

From preparatory to low, intermediate to advanced, each time is a difficult step to climb.

Of course, from the top to the top, each level is a barrier, blocking countless people, and they can't go up for the rest of their lives.

So, like this kind of research exchange seminars, exchange seminars seem to be secondary, and the focus is to put some pressure on those who are making progress too slowly.

"It's about the same as our college entrance examination in China." Leo from the commentary.

I said, "How so?" Even if you don't mix well here, going out is superior, and if you change to a demon warrior class like a guardian warrior, it's very promising. ”

Demon Warrior is the general name of the magic swordsman, magic archer and other professions, just like the guardian warrior, between the warrior and the legal system, more than the upper and more than the bottom.
