Chapter 1495: A Different Path
Don couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Whether it is from the dress, or from the coherent movements of her getting into the car, this woman should be a good person without winter. If the clothes can still be imitated, this kind of almost whimsical bus system can only be done by the Royal Capital Administration Department.
He's been on this trip for almost two years, and he's received countless guests from the big fjord merchants to the wealthy families of Dawn, but in Neverwinter they don't respond much better than the hillbillies, which is the main source of conversation and jokes among his peers. Therefore, the moment the other party opened the car door, he had already regarded the woman as a no-winter person who was on a trip, but the other party didn't seem to be very familiar with the city......
"You're laughing...... Who would dare to demolish the King's Castle? Don snorted and drove from the passenger area to the main road, "However, the Executive Council has proposed several times to expand the castle to match the size of the king, but His Majesty has rejected it. It was also published in the newspapers, and the land that was planned for expansion was turned into a war memorial park. You...... Not a local?"
"I've been here for a while. The woman leaned against the window and looked at the surrounding scenery, "It seems that Your Majesty is quite sympathetic to the feelings of the people." ”
Although many people questioned her abilities when Her Majesty Wimbledon succeeded to the throne, it turned out that even at a young age and as a woman, Wimbledon was Wimbledon after all. Don En was full of praise. If it weren't for the post-war recovery policy promulgated by the other side, he would not have had a chance to move from the remote Northland to this dream city.
"Heh......" the woman raised the corners of her mouth, "then tell me more about her." ”
Wait...... How could this man's attitude towards His Majesty be so strange? A trace of suspicion swelled up in Tang En's heart, neither full of respect like ordinary people, nor full of sourness like the old nobles, as if he were talking about an old acquaintance, could it be a spy who came to spy on intelligence?
This is not his blind suspicion, Tang En has also heard some gossip, although the battle of the divine will is over, the Lord of Dawn has announced his abdication, and the influence of the Grey Keep has spread across the continent for a while, but this does not mean that all territories are monolithic. At least in the case of Dawn, there are many nobles who have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Quinn family. The son of the Duke of Changge, who had been granted amnesty, had left the fjords, and if anyone wanted to overthrow the Wimbledon family the most, he would certainly be one of them.
and the widow of the eldest prince, who will obviously become the focus of all forces. Although he is only a child at the moment, who knows what he will think when he grows up?
Maybe those guys with bad intentions are already paving the way for future conspiracies!
The more Tang En thought about it, the more strange he felt, and while he picked out a few inconsequential anecdotes and chatted around, he secretly looked at the passengers in the back seat, and if the other party was really a spy, he should make a note of her appearance, and then report it to the Public Security Bureau.
But...... Her appearance is really special, would a rebel really look for such a person to be an eyeliner?
Not to mention the long black and smooth hair and proud figure, just the ease and atmosphere between the conversation is destined to be difficult to ignore. What's more, through the silhouette on the glass, Don saw the woman's golden eyes hidden under the sunglasses.
Looking at those eyes as sharp as a sword, he was a little distracted for a moment.
In the midst of his thoughts, the car arrived in the castle area.
"Uh...... Here," Don coughed twice, "a hundred dollars for the fare." ”
The woman neatly handed over the banknotes, then picked up her luggage and walked towards the castle on the top of the slope.
Are spies so direct these days? He stared at the other person's back for a long time, until she disappeared from the end of view...... Forget it, don't think about it, Don En shook his head. Since the other party went straight to the castle, there must be no need for him to notify the Public Security Department. After all, the witches who lived in the King's Castle were far more powerful than the police, and if she really had malicious intentions, she would definitely not be able to get out of that gate in the future.
For some reason, if something like that really happened, Don felt that it would be a pity.
He slammed his mouth and started the car.
......
"Aren't we really going to get it all at once on how to make magic more widely available?"
Amid the flow of people coming and going at the castle gates, Isabella caught up with Agatha and asked.
The Executive Hall has just concluded a hotly debated meeting on the theme of strengthening the bond between the awakened and ordinary people, so that all can benefit from magic.
After synthesizing the technologies of each clan, the Quest Society has given two preliminary routes, one is a magic device similar to the Rubik's Cube power unit, and the other is a reference to the magic stone fusion technology of the Devil that has now become the Kagadian clan. The former has few side effects, but it is still inseparable from the witch to recharge it, and since there are objective limits to the speed and talent of the Awakened, there is a clear upper limit to this route.
Once the number of devices exceeds the total amount of power supplied by the witch, it can easily become the exclusive use of the upper echelons, which is not in keeping with the purpose of the New Quest. However, this plan has been approved by most people, and in the foreseeable future, those who can enter the castle area and the administrative hall are already considered high-level members of the kingdom, and they can enjoy any breakthrough in the magic device as soon as possible, but those ordinary people may not be able to.
The second one is risky, and its breakthrough lies in Eleanor's research. The original Sanxi, who became the mother soul body, is setting out to cultivate a Kagardian prosthetic body that can be combined with the human body, which can be hands, feet, nose, ears...... Even the double horns on the forehead, and these prostheses can be embedded with magic stones.
So far, there have been two successful cases in the experiment, where volunteers have become demon owners by replacing their limbs, and although their abilities are not worth mentioning, and even the power of low-level magic stones cannot be fully driven, they can use magic devices on their own, which can be said to break the boundaries of route 1.
It's just that according to the basic principle of the interaction between magic and demon supporters, no one knows where ordinary humans will go after fusing magic stones, so most of the officials at the meeting expressed their opposition to this, and even the old faction led by Barov strongly demanded that this technology be banned.
However, Agatha knew that Isabella's so-called one-step approach was not the above two, but a third plan that only the core of the Exploration Society knew, that is, human transformation. According to the information obtained from the battle of divine will, life can obtain more magic power through continuous evolution, and there are certain rules for magic power itself, so the highest goal of research is obviously that everyone can obtain magic power. There is no need to rely on awakening, let alone gender, everyone is born a demon supporter, and if it can succeed, it will definitely bring a new round of leaps to mankind!
But this research is currently only in the stage of theoretical exploration, not to mention the need for a large number of clinical trials, and throwing it out now will only cause a big wave, even if it is stuffy research, it is easy to leak the news, so Agatha has not even formed a relevant research group, which can be regarded as putting it into the cold palace.
"I understand your reluctance, but as you can see, people's acceptance of magic is far from the desired level. "The New Quest has only just been established, and we have to come up with more results to make the public aware of the convenience and progress that magic brings." The mistake made by Lord Akaris, we cannot repeat it. ”
"But those old diehards are against Route 2. Isabella sulked, "Without the support of a large number of demon supporters, it will always be difficult to spread the popularity of magic devices beyond Neverwinter. ”
"Definitely. But we're not without opportunities. Agatha opened the fist she had been clenching, revealing a note in her palm that Edith had slipped into her hand after the meeting.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, a banquet was held in the White Horse Hall of Jinbisi, hoping that the two of them could enjoy the light.
At any time, change means the reorganization and redistribution of benefits, and the far-reaching magic popularization plan for humanity is not a simple technical problem, but a new battle.
She was a little nostalgic for the days when His Majesty Roland was still there, when no one would object to a decision made by His Majesty, and no matter how incredible it was, everyone would move forward in unison.
But after only a brief moment of depression, Agatha regained her strength.
That's right, she can't always rely on that person to go on, he has led humanity out of a desperate situation, and it is up to them to inherit and shoulder this unyielding will.
Just then, a woman walked past her.
Agatha couldn't help but be stunned.
She jerked her head back
"What's wrong?" Isabella asked, "Did you leave anything behind?"
Agatha noticed that the two had distanced themselves by several meters, and the latter was looking at her in wonder, as if he didn't understand why she had suddenly stopped.
"No...... I just thought I saw someone I knew very well. ”
She blinked, scanning the crowd one last time, but still couldn't find the familiar figure.
"Someone you know?"
"Well, I guess I'm looking away. Agatha took two quick steps, "Let's go back to the Mage's Tower, there's still a lot of research to be done." ”
This "battle" of magical change will be started by her.
She's ready.
