"Listening to the guest, your accent and skin color are not local, I am afraid I don't know how much has changed in Noyère. ”

With this sentence as the opening remark, the boss told the changes in the port city in recent years.

Noyer is a very developed port city, and the biggest feature of the port city is communication. People from all over the world who travel by water can pass through or stop here, so technology, culture, intelligence, products and diseases spread very quickly.

Beginning about four years ago, a series of books on forbidden knowledge were circulated to Noyère by unknown people and for what purpose, causing a series of chaos and disasters.

At first, it was okay, but it was just something that made people's daily lives more convenient, and anyone would be happy to see it.

But after passing through the physics section, the trouble of the book gradually became apparent.

More and more people are learning all kinds of standard physics and using this knowledge to create new things. Machines that are more efficient but don't require magic, weapons that are more powerful, armor that is better defended are all being designed one after another.

The city grew, and the lords and sheriffs were of course delighted, and promoted the book vigorously.

But the next day they regretted it.

A group of men with new equipment attacked and succeeded in stealing valuables from Noyer's warehouse.

At this time, they realized that the knowledge in this series of books was not for ordinary people to hold, so they listed it as a banned book and confiscated it for those loyal to the castle lord to study for themselves.

The port city was rich in cultural exchange, so the people's ideology was decades ahead of the commoners of other regions, so it never thought of giving up this knowledge.

The human heart cannot be stopped, as long as there is a heart, there is still a way to obtain these books after all.

Two years later, the commoners of Noyer had formed an organization large enough to clearly oppose the nobility, and this group also possessed a weapon called the "gun".

"In the end, the aristocracy is just a small group of people who have rights, and these rights are also exchanged for the power of their ancestors. What did the people of Noyer, who had power, do?"

"You guessed it, guest, the leader of the civilian forces launched an uprising, forcing the previous lord to step down under the banner of making the common people have the power of knowledge. ”

The boss said this and took a sip of ale to moisten his throat.

"But a slogan is just a slogan, and now Noyer hasn't been able to show the technology in the books, and the new city lords and new nobles still hold those books in their hands. No, he should have been more clever and made some of it public. 」

"Guest, are you a prophet? ”

The new lord of the castle still controls books, but he says this is so that the public can better learn about them.

He set up several schools for the teaching of books, and recruited the children of all the powerful and wealthy people in the city.

Although the magnates were unwilling, after all, it was the new city lord who held the absolute power, and they had to compromise.

But it wasn't until a few months that the guerrillas came to the city, and under the pretext of serving the civilian population, they selflessly and freely taught the civilian population new knowledge.

The Guerrilla Guild is a large guild from the Northlands, and the people who come to this city are their elite, with several levels of force higher than the city lord - mechas.

This time, the lord of the castle had to compromise, and he issued a new policy prohibiting people who did not have permission to cast spells to cast spells, and also forbade people who did not have permission to use magic items to use any items with magic.

He claimed that it was for the order of the city, but anyone knew that he was doing it for his own right to rule.

But most people are still able to accept this, so they also go to the formal way to take the certificate.

"There must be a condition in the exam agreement that it can't threaten his rule, and then people sign it only to find out that it is actually a magical contract or something?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. So the people began to fight again, and now a powerful organization was formed with the help of the guerrillas. The guerrillas are a good group of people who fight for the common people. It's the same people from the Northland, why didn't the guy who let it cause chaos after passing on the knowledge didn't learn from others, he really didn't know how to take responsibility for his actions. The Northlands are a paradise for exiles, otherwise why would the guerrillas leave the Northlands for Noyer?"

The innkeeper was overwhelmed by the chaos of Noyer, but he inadvertently hacked him in front of the owner.

This is really a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky. Although I was a little angry when I met each other, there was no need to blow up my identity like this.

"I think that the people who spread the knowledge are not doing anything wrong, and the knowledge itself is not wrong, and those who use it in the wrong place should be held accountable for their actions. 」

"Then why didn't he stand up and teach everyone how to use this knowledge?"

"It's true that technology has brought chaos and turmoil, but that's because you're using the wrong methods. Technology itself is something that provides convenience to people's lives, and electric lights, telephones, and the Internet can greatly improve people's quality of life. But there is no need to teach you how to do it, it doesn't make sense. 」

If you come out and call on everyone not to use technology to fight, will anyone listen?

What's more, the multiple uses of technology include fighting itself.

"It's like knowing that you get a lesson when it hurts, it's just a necessary process, and the sooner you get it, the sooner you learn what to do. 」

"But because of this knowledge, a lot of people died. Originally, although our life was a little more difficult and troublesome, we have never been so frightened. He doesn't know how we ordinary people live, and he doesn't know what life we want to be like, and the scholar who has invested in the study doesn't care about anything, only thinks about himself!"

The boss may have drunk a little too much, and his emotions gradually became a little excited.

"Sorry guest, I'm not talking about you, I've drunk a little too much. ”

After saying that, the boss returned to the counter, and he planned to go upstairs to rest.

Before going upstairs, he left a message for the innkeeper.

"Whether you like it or not, you should learn to adapt. 」

After returning to the room, he looked at his watch and found that it was only past three o'clock, so he took out the portable signal tower and made a long-distance call to Antinomi, who was thousands of miles away.

It took about a minute or two for Antinomi to answer the phone.

"If you have something to do, you can tell me through the contract, it's very troublesome for me to use the phone." 』

"Hurry up and let me make a special one for you, I can't change it when I'm used to using my phone. 」

After that, he told Antinomi what happened to Noyer and asked him to help him come up with a feasible plan and rest, after all, he still had to live in Noyer for a while, and he should have taken two permits earlier anyway, otherwise many things would be tied down.
