Chapter 1050: The End of the Demon Tide (6)
The impact of the Demon Tide on this world is multifaceted, not only in terms of disadvantages, but also in many ways.
Ordinary matter infected with magic has a very small chance of turning into magical matter, which can contain magical power, or has strong demonic conductivity, or is very resistant to magical power, no matter which one, it can bring enough impact to this world.
Even if this probability is 'extremely small', there are thousands of materials in this world, as small as a small stone, or even a speck of dust can cause anomalies.
Most of the time, these anomalies appear on 'independent individuals', but on top of that very small probability, there is a very small chance that a new magical substance will appear.
Again, no matter how small a probability is, as long as it is placed in a large enough number, the number of occurrences will be quite large.
The most intuitive manifestation of the magic tide is that the types of natural magic materials in the world of Assatom have increased, and 'three' have been discovered at one time!
"Magic Tide...... I don't know if it's good or bad!" Looking at the magic furnace in front of him, Charlemagne shook his head with a wry smile and said.
Elba, who was standing beside him, replied with a flat face: "It's a good thing for us, it's a bad thing for the civilians, but if you transform it a little, it can become a 'good thing'!"
Then, he glanced at Charlemagne and asked, "It's only been a few years since he became the chief, and he has already begun to feel the mundane?"
"Yes, it's only been a few years since he became the chief......," Charlemagne didn't deny it, and said frankly, "I finally understand why Rourno rarely studied magic after becoming the chief, and we thought he was slacking off at first, but now I know after experiencing it myself, there is no time." ”
"Don't look at me being able to stand here now, but in fact, I'm busy, and I don't have as much to do as Rurno, if after his death, no one can take over this position, I think the development of the empire will be slowed down by me......"
Hearing Charlemagne's emotion, Elba frowned slightly.
He didn't want to bother with these things, for him, he would only be interested in the study of magic, in the 'truth' - the opposition to the Wizard Machine in the first place was due to the feeling that taking this path would inevitably lead them to the path of the Arcane Empire.
But now it seems that these things are not as terrible as they imagined.
The two of them, who had once feared the Magic Machine, no longer continued to oppose this, on the contrary, they now preferred the continued development of the Magic Machine.
It's just that Elba hopes to use the power of magical machines to find the truth, while Charlemagne hopes to make the people of the empire live a 'good life'......
The search for magic and truth was slack, not because he didn't want to do that, but because he really did this position, he realized that the person sitting in this position had so many things to do.
It turned out that they were able to ignore other affairs and concentrate on studying magic because Ruerno shouldered these responsibilities, otherwise, I am afraid that not only him, but even Elba would not be able to study magic so easily.
And after sitting in this position for a long time, he gradually understood why Ruerno chose to give up the opportunity to study magic and do these things.
"Someone has to do some things...... Charlemagne raised his head, looked obsessively at the magic furnace they had developed independently, and whispered, "What I am doing now, what Ruerno has done is paving the way for future generations." If we can do some of the heavy lifting, we will be able to give the younger generations more time to do their own research – and I believe that Ruerno is the same as I am thinking now, and we are all thinking now that if we can do these things ourselves, then the younger generations will have more time and energy to study and learn other things. ”
“...... This statement is novel. After a moment of silence, Elba laughed self-deprecatingly, "I've never heard this say that!"
If nothing happened to Ruerno and they didn't ask, maybe until the end of their lives, they wouldn't have been able to understand why Ruerno was doing those things instead of doing magical research.
"I can't be as noble as Rulno, that's why I'm here now. Charlemagne sighed again, "We used to think that Ruerno was not 'pure' enough, but only now do we know that he is more 'pure' and 'greater' than both of us!"
He raised his hand and swayed it lightly in the air, as if he was caressing the huge furnace in the air, "Now it seems that what Ruerno is doing is right, like the 'literacy education' that he has tried and failed, and like the 'magic machine' that he has been supporting...... Maybe he didn't quite understand that the improvement of productivity could promote social change, but he must have had a similar idea in his head, so he did not continue to experiment with 'literacy education' very persistently, but promoted the development of magic machines. ”
"But we laughed at him for it......" Elba shook his head and sighed as he recalled the memory.
Now he really didn't want to face this memory, but those things were done after all, and since they had already been done, whether he wanted to admit it or not, the facts were there.
"It's actually us who are stupid. ”
At this moment, Charlemagne and Elba suddenly stopped talking and looked back.
A mage walked quickly, and when he saw the 'chief' and 'secondary' looking over at the same time, his body stiffened slightly, and he said nervously: "Chief Charlemagne, Second Elba, the magic furnace has been loaded, and the team can set off at any time!"
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the joy in each other's eyes.
"Let them prepare, and then let's go!" Charlemagne waved his hand, "I think you can't hold it anymore!"
The mage smiled sheepishly, tugged at his sleeve, and after a hurried salute to the two superiors, he turned and trotted away.
"New era...... Charlemagne touched the stubble on his chin and whispered, "Although the era of magic machinery was started by the chief maid, our empire cannot lag behind others, otherwise Rurno's efforts will be in vain." ”
"Now you better think about how to deal with the nobles who are about to get into chaos!" Elba sneered, "Now they are all going crazy, no matter how big or small, they are almost crazy." At times like these, you, the 'chief,' have to take care of them!"
Hearing this, Charlemagne's fingers froze, and he pursed his lips, "How can it be so easy to control them, even His Majesty the Emperor can't control them, let alone me? Do I have any say in the aristocratic circle? It's not so much about this, but about how the future of the association should go!"
"How else can I go?" Elba scoffed, "Aren't you going to continue to develop the magic machine so that you can have more time and energy to study magic after that?"
Looking at Elba, who had a calm face, Charlemagne was silent for a long time, and then sighed, "Okay, if you don't want to talk about this, then don't talk about it!" I'll deal with these things, but if something goes wrong with the magic energy machinery in various places, you can only be responsible." ”
"Rest assured, I know these issues. Elba replied flatly, "Even I know what the era to come will be—"
"An era that will allow the brilliance of magic to bloom, an era that will allow us to go to the astral plane, to other worlds!"
"To be backward in this era is to slow down the pace of searching for the truth, and I will not be so stupid!"
