Somewhere on the edge of the small pond, Norman and Correction confronted each other.

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Xiu was still loudly refusing, and there was a rare angry expression on his face.

As a mage, what he should do is to continue to learn the knowledge of ancient languages, meditate and cultivate, and persistently improve his strength in all aspects in order to reach a higher realm.

It's been a long and difficult road.

On this path, all mages will only feel that there is not enough time, and they wish they could live for a few more decades or hundreds of years, and the same is true for cultivation, and he has invested almost all his time in improving his spell strength. But now, Norman is asking him to make bread and build houses for ordinary people!

"I'm a noble mage, not a baker, not a carpenter! I also think that you are a gray-robed mage, and I would only stay here to help you for the sake of half of my peers, but now you have made me do such a menial work! You are insulting me! It makes me wonder if I need to stay here. ”

In the end, Xiu even faintly revealed his intention to leave.

This guy doesn't seem to be full of sorcery knowledge, and he knows how to blackmail people?

Norman thought of this in his heart, still smiling on his face, and said slowly: "Of course I know that you are a noble mage, not a baker, not a carpenter, and I am not insulting you, on the contrary, I am giving you a chance to become a legend, a legend like the Holy Son and the Holy Spirit that will always be remembered and sung by mankind." ”

Xiu's expression froze, his eyes moved, but he immediately sneered, "Do you want to say that you can become a legend by making bread and building houses for those ordinary people?

"Legends are legendary precisely because of their rarity and uniqueness, if everyone can become what you call a legend, then what's the point of such a legend?"

Xiu felt that Norman was talking nonsense.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't finished learning pinyin, he wouldn't even be willing to continue to entangle with Norman, and he left angrily at the first moment when Norman humiliated him so much.

Norman clapped his hands and sighed: "You're right, it's not easy to become a legend, isn't this evident from your current attitude?"

"Making bread and building houses for those ordinary people is something that many mages can do, but will anyone do it? So this thing seems very simple, and many mages can do it, but it is actually extremely difficult, and the difficulty lies in the following. ”

"One, convince a mage to serve ordinary people, make bread, build a house. ”

"Since the emergence of the mage profession, the status of mages has always been high, and it has always been others who serve them, and there is no one else to serve others, so asking a mage to make bread and build a house, on the surface, is simply a matter of using a few spells, but in fact it is a challenge to the default rules formed over thousands of years, and it is a change in the social status of mages, which is naturally extremely difficult. ”

"Second, it is the reaction of the outside world to this. ”

"Even if a mage volunteers to serve other people, to make bread and build houses for ordinary people, there will be great resistance from society to prevent him from doing it. It's about the dignity of the mage, and in essence, it's an extension of the first point - because it changes the social status of the mages and pulls them down from the altar on high up. As mages, as vested interests in such a privileged position, the other mages would naturally not allow this to happen, and they would do their best to extinguish the flames of this momentum at the first moment. Externally, it is the mages of the Kingdom and the Church who will initiate a campaign against it. ”

"Three, from the perspective of the mage himself. ”

"If a mage goes to serve those ordinary people, make bread for them and build houses, it will undoubtedly consume a lot of his time and magic power, which will have a certain impact on his strength improvement and slow down his strength increase. No one is stupid enough to harm their own interests to benefit others......"

Xiu was still full of anger mixed with a hint of sneer at first, but as he listened all the way, his expression became more and more confused.

As a mage, he knew that what Norman said was not wrong, this matter was not as easy as he thought before, it was indeed difficult, and Norman said everything he thought of and did not expect.

But it was precisely because of this that he was more and more confused: if this Barton knew that this matter was so difficult, why did he still have the confidence to come to him and make such a request?

And Norman talked for a long time, and finally finished talking about all the difficulties, and turned back the conversation.

"Because there are so many difficulties, it's almost impossible, so it's not like everyone is a legend. Mr. Xiu, if you do it, you will be the only one. ”

Cultivating to become a mage, there is still wisdom, but it is not so easy to fool: "There are many things that very few people do, but if you want to become a legend, you don't do something that very few people do." For example, eating is also rarely done, but if you do, it won't be because you become a legend. ”

Norman didn't expect this old-fashioned guy Xiu to give such an interesting example, so he smiled and affirmed: "Of course, if you want to become a legend, you must also make great contributions to the entire human race, such as creating the Father's Cult like the Holy Son, or making human beings become the masters of the continent like the Holy Spirit, and I hope that what you do Mr. Xiu will do is no less than these achievements." ”

At first, Xiu thought that Norman asked him to do these things because of ignorance, but now that he heard Norman's words, he found that Norman was more sober and comprehensive in his understanding of this matter than himself, which made him more and more curious. So I didn't interject or question anything, but listened quietly.

"Let's start by assuming what happens if a mage does that. ”

"Let's assume that it is a mage of your strength like Mr. Xiu, with his ability, I personally make a bold guess that one person should be able to supply the rations of two hundred people, right?"

Xiu thought about it, nodded, and didn't speak.

Norman's estimate is still very conservative, if he really wants to do this to the maximum of his cultivation ability, it is not impossible to supply the survival of five hundred people, but then this mage will be abolished, and he can't expect to improve again in this life.

"In this way, at least more than 100 people will be freed from the land and can do something else. ”

"Fifty of them could join the army of the local nobility, and the other fifty or so could go to the handicrafts. Some of these new craftsmen will be blacksmiths, who will increase the local production of weapons and equip these new armies, while others will be engaged in various fields such as leather making and construction, and the production of all aspects of the land will be increased. And the more people who work in these industries, the more technical exchanges between them, the faster the technological development of the industry, the increase in local products, the sharper the weapons, the better the armor, and so on. ”

"Not only that, but even the number of mages in this area is likely to increase. ”

"I disagree with that. ”

Xiu had been listening silently, his eyes flickering all the time.

He admits that Norman has a point, and that it is quite possible that the door to a new world was gradually opened before him, and that he was amazed by the novelty behind it, but at this point he finally spoke up and disagreed.

He can agree with what Norman said before, but he can't agree with it here.

"People with mage qualifications are very rare in this world, and it is not too much to describe them as one in a million. You have now sacrificed one mage and only liberated more than two hundred people, which is far from the proportion of one mage selected according to the standard of one in a thousand. You also don't use particularities as examples, because what you've been talking about is a universal image. ”

Norman nodded, "Of course I won't use particularities as an example, I just want to say that you, Mr. Xiu, or the entire mage world, have been confused by a long-standing illusion. ”

"We all know that mages are very scarce because it is very difficult to become a mage, and most people do not have the conditions to become a mage. But I think the reason why mages in this world are so rare, in addition to the extremely harsh conditions for becoming mages, is that I think the more important reason is that the scope of screening is not large enough. ”

"I once lived in a capital city in the middle of the city, where the population was very large, and with the surrounding dependencies, there should be 600,000, but more than half of the 600,000 population was the population of the surrounding territories, that is, the estates under the rule of the nobility. As farmers, their life's task is to farm and provide for this huge population, they have not had the opportunity to check whether they have the talent to learn spells, they have not had the opportunity to verify whether they have the possibility of becoming mages, and the church does not go to these estates to select students. Whether it is the church or the kingdom, they will only select future mages from those who live in the capital, and what is even more terrifying is that even those who live in the capital, most of them are constantly working for life, and have no time or money to learn about magic, so they have no opportunity to verify whether they have the possibility of becoming mages. ”

In that capital of 600,000 people, the Kingdom and the Church were able to select less than 10,000 at most. In this population base of less than 10,000 people, two or three hundred people can pass the screening every year and eventually become mages. ”

"This is not one in a million, this is only one in a hundred, it's just because we count those who have no chance to be screened when we calculate, and there will be the illusion of one in a million!"

Xiu's pupils slowly dilated.

He thought about his past.

He is the one who Norman described as "having no chance of being screened at all", and the reason why he was able to become a mage today was entirely because he was lucky enough to meet a seriously injured old man.

He was kind-hearted, and although his own living conditions were not good at the time, he still tried his best to take care of the poor man until the last moment of his life, and his kindness was rewarded - the seriously injured old man was a red-robed mage, and during the days when Xiu took care of him, he spent the last part of his life imparting to Xiu as much as he could, and left a copy of his magic notes.

After that, with the knowledge of magic he learned from the old man, Xiu barely passed the exam of the local church school, and studied hard in the school, and finally became a real mage.

Barton was right, the selection of mages was too narrow. If he hadn't received the help of his enlightenment teacher, even if he had the talent of a mage, he would not have been able to become a mage in this life, because he would not have been able to enter the screening range at all.

"So according to this real probability, it is not impossible for another mage to appear among these liberated people in the local area. On the contrary, it is a very possible thing, because the local people have been liberated from the land, they no longer need to worry about living, they just have time. They have a lot of time to be screened to see if they are qualified to become mages. Those who have this qualification should follow the path of a mage, and those who do not have this qualification should continue to develop according to the routes I said before. ”

"It's just one place, but what if you look at it on the human level as a whole?"

"Under this change, the human population will not increase, but the overall strength will be doubled! And this is just the beginning. Next, in many ways, we can also replace the work of ordinary people with efficient mages, construction, metallurgy, manufacturing, etc., don't worry about the number of mages, because we have added a lot of mages. And the further liberation of labor in these aspects can allow more people to try to become mages, and further increase the number of mages, and the result of this will be that there are more and more human armies, stronger and stronger, more and more human technologies, more and more human mages, and human strength is getting stronger and stronger......"

"To turn the whole world upside down is no less great than the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is also a starting point, a starting point to change the world, and Mr. Xiu, you are standing at this starting point now, and only you have the strength to take this most difficult first step. ”

"Then, you will change the world. ”

"You're going to be a legend. ”

After Norman finished speaking, he didn't say anything, just looked at Xiu in front of him.

Xiu, who was standing in front of him, his pupils had dilated to the extreme, and he was breathing heavily, as if he was about to lose his breath, his face was flushed, and his forehead was bruised.
