She said that Attas's society was an unstable society, and that the power of the witch kings, ostensibly derived from magic, could not be separated from the people. On the way, there was an elven warrior who was familiar with the wild to investigate the traces left by Medici, but Muhadi didn't have to keep an eye on it, so he talked to Fahd.

"The reason is simple. Although the magic on Athas is infinitely powerful, it cannot be used indefinitely. Magic must be drawn from the environment in order to be used. Although the witch kings are well versed in the mysteries of magic, because of this, they are not invulnerable. ”

"The witch kings cannot create life, and without life, their spells are worthless, and the Salt Sea is the best illustration of this. "The salt sea is a real wasteland that occupies more than 70 percent of the ground area of Attas. In ancient times, it was covered by a vast ocean, but now, the ocean has long since dried up, leaving only an endless seabed, with a layer of salt tens of meters thick covering the dry seabed.

At the edge of the Salt Sea, there is still some tenacious life, but it is also a small insect and arthropod. After going into the depths of the Salt Sea for a few dozen Palesans, you will encounter bottomless cliffs. This is the edge of the Great Attas 6, and under the cliffs is the core of the Salt Sea, where tens of thousands of miles of plains and uplifts are covered in sea rocks, and this is a mortal enemy that really has no living life. Even if it's magic, you'll die in a wasteland where you can't extract your life force. Therefore, even the witch kings did not dare to venture into the depths of the salt pans.

"Without magic, what is the Witch King? So, although the Atas are not aware of it, they have the power to die with the Witch King. As soon as they died, the estates and pastures would disappear, the few unmaintained forests would be swallowed up by sandstorms, and the ecology of Atas would collapse completely, and the Witch King would die. ”

It makes no sense, Muhadi thought to himself, and everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death. Is there really anyone who can unite the scattered people and threaten the witch kings with death? Even if there were, this person must be a psychic who is good at manipulating people's minds, and it is impossible for a mage to do it.

In addition, she has said that many powerful mages or psychic magicians ignore the power of the poorest, the most ignorant, the most destitute, the most destitute. Mages can extract life force from plants, and that's because plants are not conscious. In fact, conscious beings can also draw life force from them, as long as they do not resist. For example, Guardian Mages can drain their own life force, which is the reason. ”

Muhadi thought of the ant tribes he encountered in the desert, who had no self-consciousness, only a hive consciousness. Therefore, the queen ant can unscrupulously extract the life force of the worker ants and cast spells. "Does she mean that the Guardian Mage is actually more powerful than the Blasphemer Mage, because if she helps those who have nothing, she actually inadvertently wins a new source of life force for herself?"

"There are many ways to sacrifice, to be killed on the battlefield, is one. Dedicating oneself to a greater goal is another. There is no superiority between the two. Fahd looked into Muhadi's eyes," that was her statement. Not long ago, I heard something similar from another man, convincing me to sacrifice a few elves for life. ”

"There are some similarities between the two of you, I'm a little jealous, why are there all kinds of amazing and brilliant characters among human beings, is the elf clan really going to decline?"

Hearing Shatiri's theory, Muhathir did feel something in common with himself, but that's about it. As for the fact that there are many heroes among the human race, this is true. The history of Attas since the age of magic has been almost a one-man show of humanity, with the other races just supporting characters huddled on the edge of the stage. Some of the non-human races that have survived to modern times, such as elves, dwarves, halflings, etc., have completely lost their ancient culture. Don't talk about the country, that is, you don't even have your own city-state.

"Having been freed from the oppression of the witch kings and the nobles who depended on them, the former slaves may be grateful for their liberators for a moment. But this kind of affection, I'm afraid, can't last. "I have seen in the city of Tyre that many great merchants and nobles have indeed emancipated their slaves. But they were supposed to provide the slaves with shelter and food for free, but now they don't. The little money given to the former slaves was almost enough to pay for food and lodging. Those people are still destitute and have nothing. ”

"This is a temporary phenomenon, and Shatiri's goal is to achieve public ownership, so that everyone can own a portion of the estates and iron mines. In this way, they are firmly tied to the interests of the Guardian Mages, and will no longer allow the Witch King or the Slaver to ride on their heads. People who have nothing may be resigned, but if they have something to defend, they can also become insane. ”

By this time it was getting late, and the wind had become stronger, and neither of them had spoken for a moment, lest they have eaten the sand in their mouths. Shatiri's theory, Fahd sounds quite new, and not so new to Muhadi.

From the senses of the Spirit Crystal Servant and the faint traces left on the sand, it can be judged that the direction of Mediki's escape is to Ulric City. However, she did not act in a straight line along the way, but went around in several circles. I think it's hiding from scouts and the lair of some dangerous monsters in the desert.

"Listen," Muhati said, taking advantage of the wind. "People may be able to make a lot of money together, but they can't manage the estates or the mines together. Shatiri is going to solve this problem? Doesn't she have to arrange for a manager?"

"Yes, but those people can only earn as much as ordinary labor. Fahd covered his mouth and explained, "Managers can't exploit other people. ”

"Doesn't it sound unfair, but isn't management a higher skill?" asked the boy, "just as there is a craftsman for making a bow, and a blacksmith for striking iron." Doesn't it take a manager to manage a caravan or a mine, or a manor, and they have a higher level of ability, and they give more, so why is the return the same? Has Shatiri explained this?"

Fahd said in a reasonable tone, "Of course there is, otherwise how would she have convinced me?"

She admits it's not fair, but she thinks it's necessary. Fahd gave a strange answer, "Imagine any shop pù where the owner doesn't give all the proceeds to the laborers. So can't the workers even buy all the products in their own stores?"

"Indeed," Muhadi nodded, his turban rising and falling with his movements. "But this is not a problem, the products of the shop pù are not sold to themselves, there are always outsiders who come to buy these products. ”

"My friend, you're losing to Shatiri here. "Isn't the economy itself made up of innumerable small shops like this? How is it possible that all the laborers of the whole shop can afford to buy all the products produced? There is a limit to the needs of one person, and the nobles or the big businessmen cannot be expected to fill this gap in demand. No matter how noble a person is, it is impossible to sleep in two beds at night, or eat a hundred naan at a meal, right? ”

"I understand her logic, she is willing to sacrifice justice for the sake of long-term stability?" Muhadi found it ironic, "this is what a revolutionary, the liberator of Tyre, the man who broke the shackles of the slaves, really thinks?" The boy understood why she was different from the other Guardian Mages, why they had failed in the past, and why she had succeeded in the end. She is neither an idealist nor a moral cleanliness. The thoughts hidden under the eggs of that beautiful face are crazy and bold.

"Some people in the world are crazy, some people are capable," Fahd said, pulling the reins of his horse, avoiding a gravel on the ground. "And there are people who are blessed by fate, they have both the wildest dreams and the ability to dream. You and Shatiri are both such people. “

Muhadi smiled politely, but his throat was a little dry, and he poured a mouthful of mare's milk before he said to Fahd: "What are you going to do after the Crazy Horse tribe is destroyed?"

"Be a chief," he said simply, "but you're not going to support me, are you?"

Muhati carefully chose what he was going to say next, "I don't support it, but that's because there are better positions waiting for you." ”

"You've piqued my interest, friend Muhadi. What's that?"

"Is that an attractive seat for you in Tyre?"
