Chapter 1022: Roundtable (II)

“...... Having said that, Lord Gregory and Lord Calvin, we are still a little uneasy to accept the 'limits of open magical knowledge'. ”

After a long silence, another nobleman spoke, his words quite tactful, but by listening to the tone of voice, you could tell how resolute their opposition was.

A regimental commander pursed his lips impatiently, "Don't talk about these things that you don't have, just say what you have to say! You oppose it, right? What is the reason?"

Although the other legion commanders didn't speak, they all set their eyes on the big nobles, which also surprised the big nobles, this group of dead hill eight will be pitiful when they go toe-to-toe with them like this, I really don't know why this situation suddenly happened.

"Reason...... the great nobleman who spoke just now pondered for a moment, "the restriction of opening up magical knowledge will not only allow many mages with strong creativity to appear in the people, but will also lead to more unrest in society, after all, it is not only 'good people' who have smart minds, in fact, it is more 'bad people' who have brains. If someone uses magic to do evil, it will cause far more damage than a warlord - don't forget, two Excellencies, it's a luxury to keep humans sane forever!"

"I remember that the head maid of Serena published a 'dictionary of idioms......,'" said Gregory, propped up the table with his hands, leaning forward slightly, with a dangerous gleam in his right eye, "and there is an idiom in it called 'choking to waste food,' do you know what this means?

Hearing his words, the big nobleman's eyes froze, but at this moment, Elisa's father, Duke Ken, spoke.

"Your Excellency, what you said does make sense, I have read the 'Dictionary of Idioms' and felt the 'condensed' wisdom, but you can't deny that the things that Duke Rotal said are indeed possible, after all, we all know that even you and I can be swayed by emotions, let alone others. ”

Duke Ken's arrogance is vividly expressed in every word, although he seems to be neither humble nor arrogant, and even friendly, but there is a kind of arrogance in his bones that rejects people from thousands of miles away.

"What if the empire is slowed down because of this?" Calvin said coldly, he was not afraid to speak out because of Duke Ken's relationship with him.

On the contrary, he learned from his wife what kind of person Duke Ken was, which is why he chose to speak at this time.

Sure enough, Duke Ken raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Calvin's statement, but not so surprised, there was no disgust on his face, and even a little joy in his eyes.

"Alright, Lords, stop for now......" Just as the nobles and legionnaires were about to speak, Caesar XIII interrupted them in time.

The emperor knew very well that if he continued like this, it would turn into a war of scolding sooner or later, but what he wanted was a meeting!

Caesar XIII cleared his throat, glanced around the audience, and said aloud: "Then, let me express my opinion first! In the meantime, the ministers can rest and think for a while, and then speak after listening to my opinions, okay?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, for they were well aware of the situation, and Grigory and Calvin sat down at this point.

"First of all, let's take a look at Rotalqing's view - it is true that human beings are quite easily swayed by emotions, not only us, in fact most intelligent lives are like this, it is a luxury to keep us sane forever, but at the same time, it is precisely because of this emotional thinking that we can have such creativity!"

The nobles didn't think that Caesar XIII would be on their side from the beginning, but they never expected that Caesar XIII would be so biased.

Seeing their surprised eyes, Caesar XIII smiled, "Maybe you don't know that when Gregory and Calvinqing invented something, it was often because of the idea of 'a flash of inspiration' that led to the appearance of those things. They don't come by the way, because if they do it by the way, they don't get anything, and many inventions come from them with a pat on the head. If 'magic' has been in our hands, it is very likely that there will be a situation like what Gregory said before - the loss of creativity of the empire means that it will lag behind others in the new era, and the new era will also be the era of creativity, just like the Arcane Empire can use the floating city to fight the gods, and there may not be a powerful weapon that can be used against the 'legend' in the future, so it may be a bit wishful thinking to rely on the number of 'legends' alone to gain a foothold in the future world! ”

Duke Ken frowned slightly, glanced at the other nobles, and asked tentatively: "Then Your Majesty, what ......is your opinion?"

"Registration!" Caesar XIII smiled lightly, "It's like the 'population registration' we're doing now, but it's easier than population registration, because only a few mages are self-taught, and even if we open up our knowledge, we won't be able to make a large number of mages emerge in a short period of time." So at this point, we need to build an educational institution to teach magic, but do nothing else, neither to spread ideas nor beliefs, so that we can ensure the stability of society and accelerate the development of the Empire's magical mechanical technology. Ladies and gentlemen, what are your intentions?"

The faces of the great nobles sank, and the legion commanders gloated.

Judging by Caesar XIII's attitude, he was in favor of 'opening up the limits of magical knowledge'.

Regardless of what the great nobles thought, the emperor and the military had already expressed their support for this matter, and with the addition of the two departments that had become an indispensable part of the empire, even if the great nobles continued to oppose it, nothing else would happen.

"Since Your Majesty has said so......," said the Duke of Rotal, frowning and furrowed, "then we have no reason to object. ”

Duke Ken also bowed slightly, and the great nobles did not choose to oppose at such a time.

Only fools do things that are bound not to succeed, and they don't happen to be a bunch of fools.

"Then this is the end of this agenda!" Caesar XIII smiled brightly, and then quickly, the smile disappeared.

When the people present once again turned their eyes to the Prime Minister of the Empire, Sir Kegel also said with a straight face: "Please listen carefully and think carefully about this agenda that we are going to carry out next, because it is very likely to be related to the life and death of our Empire!"

"Lord Lille, please release the information!"

Hearing this, Lille who was sitting on the side, barely having any sense of presence, instantly received everyone's attention, and he bent down and took out a stack of materials and documents that looked quite a lot from the suitcase at his feet.

Then, he stood up, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, I may have to tell you that the next thing is not so good - maybe everyone here already knows that there are sapient monsters in the Black Forest, but they don't know their actual number and situation, and now I can tell you that the situation is not optimistic!"

"Our men have infiltrated the Black Forest, and only three of the eighteen have come back alive, and I don't know what happened to the other fifteen, but it's likely that they will never return home. ”

"The three people who came back told me that it is not a small probability that monsters will produce intelligence, they are scattered in the outer areas of the Black Forest, and in the deeper places, they have not entered, but according to speculation, in the deeper part of the Black Forest, I am afraid that more monsters and monsters have generated intelligence. ”

"We're in big trouble!"
