413. Secrets and ideals
The Covenant races are some good creatures.
Now there is a serious shortage of service personnel in the entire academy continent, ordinary people are not qualified to receive mages and mage apprentices at all, and the Holy Tower or Adam does not have enough manpower, and most of the enforced slaves are a group of strangely shaped warmongers, relying on them to receive them is likely to break out into bloody conflicts.
So the Covenant race took the initiative to take on the task of reception.
Although they are nominally equal allies, they themselves know that in the case of unequal power and no hope of equality, they are actually servants who shelter under the mage's wing and serve the mage for generations, and they are familiar with these tasks and do a good job, and the price Adam paid is only to give the children of their clan the qualification to enter the middle court.
"You're doing a great job. In the tower of the headquarters academy, Neuham sat in front of the light curtain without any image, looking at the busy scene on the thousands of split screens, and said to Adam.
There was no one with them.
"I was born in ancient times, when the mage world was still very small, with only one continent, one empire, and a group of ancient mages who were stupid and self-reliant. Well, it's about the same size as the Academy Continent, and I'm the Grand Prince of the Empire. But I didn't like the world at that time, I didn't like my country, and I hated the mages at that time, so I joined Anne and the others to start a revolution together. ”
Adam listened quietly to Neam's words, which is probably a common problem of the elderly?
"At that time, our initial idea was to build a world where everyone had hope and access to power, but the plan was just a plan, and the power of change was so great that even we couldn't resist it. In the end, the revolution succeeded, and we succeeded in making the mage world a little better than before, but it was not what we originally intended. ”
It's been a week since the last time I saw Neham.
The liberal faction finally chose to accept Adam's order and sent his mage apprentice to the academy continent, as for whether they left behind what they thought was the real elite, Adam didn't know and didn't care, when the base reached a certain level, if the individual power could not form an overwhelming advantage over the entire system, it would become unimportant.
Moreover, Adam believes that among the many apprentices in front of him, there must be many geniuses buried by the backward education system, and they will gradually shine in the future life of the academy.
Neam did not embarrass Adam in this matter, but because of his words, many Freedom Towers would cooperate so much.
That's why Adam has the mood and time to listen to an old man here and himself to miss the past.
But then Neham changed his words: "You're doing well, but you can be better, you're too influenced by Anne's attitude." ”
Adam's curiosity arose.
"You have been misled.
The Santa faction, Anne, as the founders of the world, have great love for the world and do not want anyone or anything to cause harm to the world, which has contributed to the growth of the liberal faction. They have the power to overwhelm the liberal factions, but they can't bear to do that, so they compromise again and again, and find a balance before the two.
You may not know that for hundreds of thousands of years, this time was the boldest and toughest decision made by the Santa Sect, but it only dared to do it on ordinary people and apprentices.
Reluctance and dare not are two completely different attitudes. If they had been more decisive, the liberal faction would not have had a chance to grow at all, and the mage world would not have been strong and prosperous on the surface, but the roots would have grown rot and moths. ”
Adam said, "But the liberal factions also have true spirits?"
Neam replied, "True spirits and true spirits are also different. The tower masters and deputy tower masters of the Seven Holy Towers are really in a ragged posture, and they have stepped out of a true spirit path, while the true spirits of the free faction are just relying on the support and protection of Annie and them to follow their path to promotion.
The original idea of the magic net was a large-scale mandatory contract for all mages, and if you want to become a mage, you must fulfill the prescribed obligations, be jointly supervised by the Seven Holy Towers, and establish a free and autonomous mage society on the surface, and a magical empire in essence. ”
Adam thought for a moment that if this kind of reform took place now, it would inevitably lead to strong resistance and even the collapse of order, but it was completely possible to bring it into the situation at that time. Moreover, although the empire is backward in terms of system, it is much higher in terms of execution, which is not necessarily a bad thing for a group of transcendent creatures than a parliamentary system.
"Then why is it the way it is?"
Neam sneered, "Because of Prometheus' idealism, because of his great prestige at the time, because I didn't become a true spirit in time."
Except for me, the first revolutionaries were all from civilian backgrounds, they were oppressed by the imperial system at that time, they had no right to speak, no channels for ascension, they only had talent, enthusiasm and ideals. So after the revolution succeeded in overthrowing the old system, they instinctively resisted the restoration of the imperial system and chose to form this stupid council of mages.
Idealists can change the world, but when ideas are too idealistic and don't take reality into account, their ideals are a chronic poison that sows a huge hidden danger for the future.
They focus on their ideals, but they forget that the Aether Void is ultimately a world where power reigns supreme, and that controlling absolute power is the only basis for realizing ideals, rather than pinning their hopes on the approval of others. ”
"Just like these who work, only absolute power can give birth to absolute obedience, otherwise you think they will be so well-behaved?"
Adam seemed to understand something, although Neham was one of the revolutionaries from the royal family, he was not very popular in the ranks because of his status, according to his current statement, he must have put forward the idea of establishing a magical empire at that time, as the highest nobleman, he saw the advantages and disadvantages of the imperial system very clearly, but it was clear that he was collectively vetoed, and even possibly excluded because of this.
Maybe that's why he left the Santa sect and joined the liberal faction?
Neham didn't look at Adam, but knew what Adam was thinking: "It's part of the reason, but it's not the main thing." As you can tell, although I don't agree with their overly idealistic ideas, I hate the liberal faction more than the group of vampires who are attached to the system, and the reason why they join the liberal faction instead of forming their own faction is just that I don't want to completely break the friendship that has been breeding rifts. ”
Adam asked curiously, "Then why don't you promote to the True Spirit, with Your Excellency's qualifications, once you become a True Spirit, things will change, right?"
