Chapter 490: The Way Home (3)
Ryan's words made Luke and the others fall into deep thought, and after he gave everyone enough time, he spoke again: "So I don't plan to interfere with the fate of others with my own will, but that doesn't mean I don't do anything. ”
"This ......" Orlando immediately spoke after hearing what Ryan said, "Humans, dwarves and elves have always lived in harmony, and it seems that there is no problem for everyone to mix together, but the races of blood and undead were evil enemies to us humans in the past, and if we acquiesce to their existence, wouldn't it cause great trouble to the common people?"
Orlando meant something more subtle, but Ryan could certainly hear his concern, so he smiled and explained, "That's for sure. But even if we had ordered the slaughter of these races, would they not exist with us? Thinking of the bloods that were hiding in the shadows, and thinking of Catherine before, the answer was clearly no. ”
Ryan continued: "I said that it must be subject to the law before it can be recognized, and if someone kills indiscriminately, then the law enforcement team will naturally punish them with the most severe punishment. And don't forget that I am also a human being, naturally I will not do anything unfavorable to our human race, the main population of this continent is also dominated by humans, even if we can let go of some restrictions, the other races that live around us can only be a minority, which is also the realization of what I said before, let us humans learn from other excellent races. ”
"I still don't want you to give the Bloods and the Undead residency. Orlando shook his head and said: "Your words are very reasonable, but as the mortal enemies of our human race for many years, we can't give them a chance to infiltrate, a Catherine has almost made the imperial capital ruined, if the existence of the undead is openly allowed in Cassano, wouldn't it tell everyone that the confrontation between us and the undead legion has become a big joke before?"
Seeing that Orlando's opposition was very resolute, Ryan lowered his head and thought for a minute, then raised his head and said, "So, okay, the undead are not among them, but can the Blood Clan consider letting go of some restrictions? After all, their biggest threat to the human race is the Blood Slave, and if they can be restrained on this, it will not have much impact on the ordinary people." ”
Orlando weighed it in his heart, his bottom line was that there could be no undead on the continent, and for the biggest enemy of this holy knight, Orlando could not relax his vigilance against them anyway. As for the Bloodlines, Orlando didn't want to give them any chance to stand out if he could, but now that Ryan had made concessions to himself, Orlando also knew that Ryan had a small number of Bloods, so he had to take a step back from Ryan's request.
Orlando made up his mind and nodded to Ryan and said, "Okay, but the size of the blood clan must be limited to a small range, especially in the development of blood slaves, there must be a strict rule, and they must not be given the opportunity to expand arbitrarily. Also, in order to ensure that the undead do not infiltrate Cassano, I would like to send a team of Holy Knights there. Of course, they will not interfere in Cassano's government affairs, but only to help the Church of Light there better prevent the emergence of evil creatures. ”
Ryan knew that Orlando's request was actually intended to expand the influence of the imperial capital to Cassano, but he didn't care about such a request, since Ryan could allow the blood, Naga and other races to have the legal right of residence in Cassano, how could he refuse the Holy Knight and the Church of Light as a human being? In addition, we will not stop the spread of faith, if the Church of Light wants to develop believers, and the Holy Knights want to absorb new blood, as long as both parties are voluntary, of course, all these activities must be reported in advance. ”
Orlando didn't expect Ryan to let go of this, he was a little surprised, at this time, Victor, who was sitting next to him, suddenly asked, "Then is the enrollment of the Royal Academy of Magic in the Imperial Capital allowed?"
"No problem. Ryan replied in the affirmative: "My only condition is that you can only set up a branch in Cassano and train locally selected talents here, and all this must be done on a voluntary basis." As for the talents you have cultivated, it is up to them whether they want to stay in Cassano or go to the imperial capital in the future, and Cassano will not interfere. ”
After listening to Ryan's words, Victor didn't show a happy expression on his face, but asked solemnly, "So the Moon City Magic Guild can also enroll students at will in Cassano?"
"It's not just them, even the Naga Military Academy in the underwater world. Ryan said generously: "In my vision, Cassano will be an open metropolis in the future, and such behavior is naturally allowed." If the Cassano Magic Guild can't compete with you, then let it close its doors, although I have the title of the head of this guild, I will not use laws to interfere with the specific operation, everything will be natural. ”
"This trip to the bottom of the sea, Ryan, your changes are really not small, at least when you have just stepped into the legendary powerhouse, I am afraid you don't have such great courage. Victor said, "Aren't you worried that we're poaching all the best people in Cassano?"
"Haha, two edelweiss rabbits fought over a green grass next to them, but they didn't know that hundreds of hungry wind wolves had quietly appeared around them. Ryan didn't answer Victor's question directly, but casually uttered a less mature fable: "Rather than this, it is better to feed the strongest of the edelweissers, and perhaps it will have a chance to escape." ”
Victor fully understood what Ryan meant, he didn't continue to ask, but Luke said: "Okay, today's business has been almost handled, Ryan, you have worked hard all the way, it is better to go back and rest early." ”
After Ryan and Faras left, Luke sighed and said with resentment: "My daughter, now she completely ignores the interests of the imperial capital, and focuses on Ryan!"
"Okay, you don't know what Lecheng looks like. Victor deliberately mocked Luke: "You took the two of them away, you must have something to say to us, right?"
Luke nodded, he took a sip of the best Bordeaux, cleared his throat, and said, "How much advantage does a domain powerhouse have over a legendary powerhouse?"
"Far bigger than the gap between you and me. Victor explained: "Ryan is in the underwater world, and Faras teamed up to kill dozens of legendary powerhouses in a battle, I believe that there are many stronger existences than me, and now Ryan is far beyond my strength, fortunately he has no ambition for power, otherwise the entire continent, well, it should be said that the entire plane will fall into a catastrophe more dangerous than the army of the undead." ”
"I just lost my words, but it's okay, at least I have one thing on my mind. Luke nodded, took another sip of the best Bordeaux, and then said slowly: "I believe that Ryan just said that sincerely, he will never deceive others with lies, well, it will not be that the word is not accurate enough, to be exact, it should be disdainful." Since he is willing to build an open Cassano, it means that he has no interest in unifying the entire plane. ”
"I've always been committed to making life better for the people under my rule, but after I died once, I realized that what I did wasn't necessarily meaningful. Luke said meaningfully: "The Holy Alliance Empire is a very big ship, but two hundred years of sailing has overwhelmed it, I may be able to tinker with it, but I can't stop the final fate of this ship, the more I do it, the better it is, in fact, it is a kind of shackle for the passengers on the ship." ”
"Luke, do you want to ......" Orlando was startled, and he asked in a deep voice, "This is a major matter related to the life and death of tens of millions of people, and you must not be confused." Besides, we are where we are today because of the cultivation of His Majesty Fernando XII, how can we be ungrateful?"
"No, you're mistaken, I'm not going to do that kind of thing. Luke shook the crystal glass in his hand and continued slowly, "I mean, if we are thinking about another future. The empire has always wanted to unify the north and the south, but as you have seen over the years, the cities of the south do not think that they should be under our rule at all, and even with the rise of Lane, the lords of the south will fall to the elves and form a six-party alliance with us. Ten thousand steps back, Ryan has helped us unify this kingdom with all our might, Orlando, you tell me, can this empire be passed on for 10,000 years like Naga?"
Orlando shook his head, although he was a holy knight, he was not an extreme defender, let alone a desperate fanatical believer, so he would not lose himself in his devotion to the god of light and loyalty to the royal family of Fernando. Orlando himself knows very well in his heart that even if the empire goes south and forcibly unifies the entire continent by force, I am afraid that the country will be crumbling in less than a hundred years, and the first to go wrong must be those lords in the south. To put it simply, there are many divisions in the minds of humanity across the continent, and there is a lack of the foundation for building a unified and powerful empire.
"So, since Ryan wants to take the first step of merging the entire continent through Cassano, and then allowing all the races on the continent to live in harmony, why don't we take advantage of the situation?" Luke said leisurely: " As Ryan said just now, the main population of this continent is human beings, if we can eliminate the differences between the north and the south through long-term exchanges and migrations, a new and united new race will appear, and at that time, even if we don't want to build a real unified empire, it will be impossible, and in the process of this integration, our imperial capital has the largest population and the strongest strength, if we can't take advantage of the situation to occupy the dominant position of the new race......"
