Section 52 Neutrality
"Don't you object to the use of slaves?" it was not Ceren who spoke, but at the top of the staircase on the sixth floor stood two archmages in white robes, each with an apprentice behind them, and the one on the left was speaking.
Qi Yuan showed respect to the two archmages with the mage etiquette he had learned from Ospen, and then looked at Selen, who was staring, and said to everyone: "First of all, I can only represent myself, not the motherland to which I belong; secondly, I think the relationship between slaves and cults is not simple and clear, and if you want to figure out the essence of this, you need to sit down for a long time and slowly sort it out." β
The three archmages looked at each other, and then the one who had not spoken reached out and invited, "Then sit down and talk, we have been waiting for a long time for those who have destroyed the Corrupt Array." β
So the group walked into the room one after another, Qi Yuan and the three archmages sat around the round table, surrounded by many small cases of single people, perhaps this was the "classroom" of the archmage.
Qi Yuan sat on the table and chair suitable for dwarves and looked cramped: "I'm sorry, can I use a spell?"
"Of course. Selen agreed on behalf of the dwarves, and at this time eleven more apprentices walked in, each sitting behind the small table, a dwarf and an elf.
Qi Yuan, who had obtained consent, performed the human diminution technique on himself, and immediately became similar in height to the dwarves.
The apprentices who had just sat down immediately whispered when they saw this, before they only had the art of changing giants, and no one had studied how to become smaller.
This spell was derived by Qi Yuan from the first-level human transformation technique before, and it also belonged to the first-level spell, which was only completed by him in order to verify whether his derivation of the model structure was correct.
"I'm Adina. β
"I'm Broto. Is this smallening the work of your teacher?"
Adina was the last archmage who invited Qi Yuan to sit down and chat, and the name sounded like a woman, but Qi Yuan looked and looked at it again and still didn't find any relevant features, maybe the white robe was too wide......
"Not really. Anyway, if you really learn the giant technique, the small technique shouldn't be a problem. Qi Yuan said that he wanted to be as modest as possible.
Blotto heaved, "I'm starting to like you a little bit, human. β
"Thank you!"
"Alright, let's talk about slaves and cultists!" said Selen, waving his hand.
Qi Yuan nodded, and still asked first: "Are the cultists hidden in Quenching Sword Castle all slaves?"
"Not all. The nobles who came to trade at Quenching Sword Castle had brought with them slaves, and they had brought with them the haters! Adina's description is more objective and straightforward to the conclusions of these investigations.
"Well, in my opinion, these are two big topics. Qi Yuan nodded while trying to expound his views: "These two topics belong to social sciences in our classification, and I am not a professional scholar in this area, so I can only expound some of my personal immature views, which on the one hand do not represent my motherland and nation, and on the other hand, they are immature, and they must be incomplete and wrong." β
This opening question made the three archmages all sit upright.
"Let's talk about slaves first. According to the mainstream concept of our country, the existence of slaves belongs to the inevitable phenomenon of a specific historical period and social and material conditions, and perhaps there is a method of social organization in this period that does not require the use of slaves, but human beings finally choose slavery in the process of reproduction, which is determined by the level of productive forces in that period and the social production relations that adapt to that kind of productive forces. β
The three archmages looked at each other, and at this time the language seemed to have failed.
"My knowledge in this area is not enough to explain these things in simple terms, in fact, when it comes to the problem of cults, I don't think it is simpler than this question......" Qi Yuan looked at the reactions of the dwarves and knew that discussing these things was basically the same thing as a duck and a chicken, and different cultural backgrounds caused dissent on the same issues, and this kind of thing must be solved by understanding each other deeply enough.
"I would like to invite you to visit my home country and visit my alma mater for academic exchanges. Qi Yuan continued: "On the issue of uniting to force the whole world to abolish slavery. β
When Ceren heard the topic he was most interested in, his eyes immediately lit up.
"There is one of the principles of our country's handling of foreign affairs, which is called 'mutual non-interference in internal affairs', and we will not forcibly interfere with any social system adopted by other countries. Qi Yuan saw that Sailun was still puzzled, so he continued to explain: "Countries or cities with slaves call them 'slave social systems'. β
"That's your support for slaves...... This system?"
"Of course not, we ourselves prohibit this system in our country, and we certainly oppose the adoption of it by other countries, but if the people of other countries support doing it in their country, we will not use force to force them not to do it. β
Ceren stood up with a "whew" and said incredulously, "Why do you think that?"
"We believe that everyone is equal, and so is the country, that this equality does not change because it is strong or weak, and that we do not interfere with others, just as we do not want others to interfere with us. Qi Yuan shook his head and explained.
"It sounds like absolute neutrality. Adina waved her hand and motioned for Ceren to sit down: "Sit down, Celen, it's better to be neutral than to be opposed." What's more, we are mages, not paladins. β
"But neutrality is not far from chaos......" Ceren expressed his displeasure.
"I want to know, how did you destroy the Corrupt Array, it is a magic circle infused with the divine power of the Dream Chrysalis, and all the arcane below level 7 are immune, and as far as I can see, you may only be able to use level 5 arcane. Adina stared at Qi Yuan, with the intention of doing something if she didn't agree with her, obviously she was suspecting that Qi Yuan had something to do with hatred, if that was the case, it meant that Qi Yuan was an existence worthy of sacrificing a divine derivative to disguise, perhaps this was the key to a big conspiracy.
"Immune, no wonder ......" Qi Yuan thought thoughtfully, he remembered the dissociation technique that he had placed high hopes on.
"In fact, I want to perform a seventh-level arcane under that kind of magical shock...... I was devoured when I was trying to cast a level 5 arcane art. Qi Yuan shook his head and recalled.
"That's not a problem that can be solved by relying on arcane thinking, the model of mid-level and low-level arcane can't even get close to it, the difficulty of casting high-level arcane spells is comparable to ascending to the sky, oh, now it's easier to ascend to the sky, that is comparable to landing on the moon!" Qi Yuan's words made the angry Sai Lun curious.
"Don't rely on arcane thinking? What kind of thinking is that?" said Selen's question, "Landing on the moon, how dare you think about it! β
"That's why I want to invite you to my alma mater. Qi Yuan once again sincerely invited: "Our world originally had no arcane art, and there was no divine art. But now, and with what we once knew about the world, the effect of thinking and using arcane with that kind of thinking was significantβit was the shattering sound waves that destroyed the Corrupted Array. β
