"Create new magic to improve people's living standards?" In the council chamber of the "Sanctuary" of the Kingdom of God, Ariel, the goddess of the sea with the highest magical attainment among the gods, groaned for a moment, smiled and nodded, "This is a good idea, improving the living standards of believers is conducive to strengthening their faith, and it is also conducive to strengthening their power - when their power is strong, they can promote the expansion of faith and embark on a virtuous circle."

Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to think of this direction, but after thinking about it, he was relieved - only with goals can there be motivation, and only with benefits can there be enthusiasm, if his own ideas can benefit the people and his friends at the same time, wouldn't that be the best result?

"yes. "So I think we can join forces to summarize the problems in people's lives that can be easily solved by magic, and then invent specific magic." ”

"I don't think that's a good idea. Yol Gardeman, the god of justice, who was always dressed shabby, shook his head and poured cold water on it, "Casting spells is a difficult thing in itself, and it takes a lot of time and resources to train spellcasters. It would be a waste to spend such a large amount of resources just to solve some problems that are not urgent. ”

"It's better than not being able to solve it. Manis, the goddess of wealth, said, "There's a way better than no way." ”

"That's naïve. Yol Gardeman sighed, "You think, the current human resources of the spellcasters are roughly concentrated in the hands of three forces. The first group is naturally dominated by religion, but the various gods are hostile to each other, and most of the clergy's spell-casting abilities are consumed in meaningless confrontations except for preaching, and there are not many resources to spare. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded slightly, he continued: "The second group is the nobility, because the caster itself needs to consume money, so often only the nobles and merchant families can afford it. Merchants who have the ability to cast spells are likely to seek nobility. Similarly, many scholars, adventurers, and spellcasters will also pursue nobility. For example, in the Mystic Tower Federation, there are a large number of settled spellcasters, but as long as they reach the middle level, there are almost no people who do not have noble status...... So in the final analysis, the second force is the aristocracy. ”

"The aristocracy did not care whether the commoners lived or died, and although there were some of them who were as upright and prominent as the late Baron Keane, most of the nobles were on the side of hostility to the common people. It was not without magic to improve the standard of living in the past, and they had mastered a lot of it, but how could they use these spells to benefit the common people?

The gods were a little gloomy and sighed.

"The last force is the adventurers, they are strong, but they are scattered and lack even the most basic organization. They may be a powerful force when they engage in sabotage, but they ...... engage in construction They can't. If nothing else, how can we get the freedom-seeking adventurers to settle down for a long time and work for ordinary people?

The gods thought for a while, you look at me, I look at you, and shook their heads one after another.

Jolgardeman spoke at length in one gulp, and finally took a long sip of his glass and summed up his point: "In general, I think that when the 'magic of improving the standard of living' is studied, it will probably not have the effect of improving people's living standards, but will become a tool for the pleasure of the aristocracy." ”

He spoke so eloquently that everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

When it comes to understanding mortal society, there is no god who can compare with Joel Gardeman. He was not only born in the lower class of mortals, but also walked all over the earth in the form of mortals. He has seen too many joys and sorrows of mortals, and the various states of good and evil in the red dust. The rest of the gods present probably didn't know as much about the human world as they did.

Since he thought that the magic that improved the standard of living would only become a tool for the pleasures of the nobility, then this would probably be how things would turn out.

However, Sui Xiong was not reconciled.

He felt that such a thing as magic, like technology on earth, would never have any vitality if it only served a few people. If we want magic to usher in a great development, and then promote the progress of the whole society, we should let the power of magic serve the public and popularize magic to ordinary people.

But Joel Gardeman was right when he said that learning magic requires talent and resources, like two high thresholds, ruthlessly keeping out the vast majority of ordinary people, making it impossible for them to enjoy the benefits of magic. Correspondingly, why should those who have crossed these two thresholds deign to serve ordinary people?

(How is this kind of problem solved on Earth?)

He pondered and tried to find a solution.

On the earth, those backward regions are not mentioned for the time being, but in all the more advanced and developed regions, basically everyone has to learn scientific knowledge. But in fact, the vast majority of people are still far from the real "frontier of science" - Sui Xiong himself, for example, is a serious college student, from primary school to university, before and after 16 years of study. But the scientific knowledge he has learned can only be said to belong to the mainstream level of society, and if he wants to engage in scientific research...... Looking at how many times he tried to make a blast furnace and exploded and finally failed, you know that it is far from it.

So, how do people on Earth solve the problem of "not keeping up with the pace of science"?

The vast majority of people on the planet do not have the ability to turn science into productivity, but they can still enjoy the convenience of science without any obstacles.

Sui Xiong frowned, thinking hard.

(On Earth, when technology first appeared, it seems that it was also used as a tool of pleasure by a few rich and aristocratic people, right?) I remember that we also have an idiom called "Qi What Qiao" in China to describe this...... ）

(I don't know about Europe, but everyone has two eyes and a mouth, a pair of arms and two legs, so there should be no big difference.) ）

(So, when exactly did technology start to move heavily into civilian use?)

At this time, he regretted that he had not studied history well.

If you are a history major, this kind of thing is not easy to do? Maybe technology is good at governing the country, and nothing will be difficult for you!

Alas, how can I be an artist myself? What is the use of art at this time! Even on earth, the Renaissance relied on the support of the merchant class!

(Wait!Renaissance?!Merchants?!)

A flash of inspiration flashed through Sui Xiong's mind, and he couldn't help but be grateful that he didn't skip class to play games when he was studying art history.

(I remember! The key to the popularization of science and technology is also the promotion of businessmen, or capital! I said in class that the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution are all manifestations of the development of capitalist society to a certain extent, destroying and destroying the old feudal system!)

(Oh my God, I really want to thank Professor Cheng, who looks a bit like Leslie Cheung, who always likes to talk about something else when he talks about art history.) At that time, I only thought he was funny, but now that I think about it, it is the result of the hard work of generations of scholars!)

(It's a pity that the professor didn't talk about how to build a blast furnace...... ）

He couldn't help but smile secretly, he already had a plan in his heart.

"I really need your help with Mannes in this matter. He said, "You have the most businessmen among your believers, and businessmen are profit-seeking, so as long as they are allowed to discover new profit points, and with the impetus of your church, I think there is hope for this." ”

Manis was stunned for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously: "I know that businessmen pursue profits, but why do you think businessmen can take on such a heavy responsibility? They can only depend on the aristocracy to exist, even if they are developed, they will only choose to become new nobles." ”

He sighed as he spoke: "In the Federation of Gold Coins, wealth is a symbol of status. But the Tycoons still spend a lot of money and time to seek nobility for themselves. Wealth alone is not enough. ”

"That's because nobility brings privilege, and no matter how rich a merchant is, wealth does not bring enough power. Sui Xiong smiled and said, "This problem can be solved slowly, and what we need to do now is to create some magic that will not only improve people's lives, but also bring full profits to businessmen." ”

He turned his head to look at everyone: "The learning threshold of this kind of magic can't be too high, otherwise it will be meaningless." The cost should not be too high, otherwise it will be difficult to profit from the civilian population. As for the rest, it's up to us to take the helm. ”

"Yes, there is no limit to the pursuit of profit by businessmen, so it needs to be limited by law. The god of law, Law, first nodded, "It is also necessary to strengthen supervision to avoid the law becoming a virtual reality." ”

"I think it's best to keep this set of spells in the direction of the Good Divine Technique. "Good clerics are the most reliable force, and controlling spells in this direction can directly eliminate many dangerous elements and avoid a lot of potential trouble." ”

"Last, but not least. Sui Xiong smiled and said confidently, "We must strictly control the scope of use of these spells, and we must not blindly promote them on a large scale, but popularize them little by little." ”

"It's better to start with the Northwest Republic first, there is no aristocratic power here, so you can avoid interference to the greatest extent. ”

At this time, he remembered many of the sages of the earth, and remembered some famous sayings: "In the future, if we have any new ideas, we may as well set aside a small area to put them into practice, and call them ...... Special Zone. ”

The gods looked at each other for a moment, and nodded their heads.

So, the matter was settled. (To be continued.) )
