Chapter 1013 Two Major Problems, Targeted Treatment

The second round was still in the previous Great Hall, but the surrounding light became brighter, and the number of advisors under the throne also changed, two more than before.

"Wang, after the promulgation of the relevant bill to exempt the druids from compulsory military service, the public has responded enthusiastically, and some plantations have resumed operation, but the mage community has quite a few complaints about it."

"Wang, the Higher School of Magic that you initiated has the support of many high mages, but there are also many who have expressed clear opposition."

"King, High Mage Taras has gained great prestige because he is satisfied that you have established the High School of Magic, and has now found out the story behind the sacrifice of Drow in Isth City, and has relieved the panic of the people."

"Wang, the border city of Lost Border rejected the internal relocation of the surrounding towns and expelled them all, and some towns were attacked by orcs in the process of relocation, and suffered heavy losses.

"Wang, after comprehensive rectification, the security of the capital has been greatly improved, but in the process again, there have also been conflicts with many high-ranking families, and two of the investigators you appointed have disappeared."

……

Through the brief statements of these advisors, as well as the specific information perceived from the surrounding environment, Xia Duo also has a more comprehensive understanding of the current situation of this virtual kingdom.

Especially after a round of issuing an order and getting feedback.

In general, in this virtual kingdom, there are only class contradictions between the upper and lower levels, and there are no contradictions between different ethnic groups within the main plane like the main plane Comanso.

I don't know if the history of the main plane was wrong thousands of years ago, or if it was the kind of environment deliberately created during the reign of King Eliser.

Xia Duo thought about it carefully, in fact, the virtual kingdom in this trial may still be simplified, although there are many problems, but the core problem is only two points-

One is the contradiction between the upper and lower classes, not only the low status of the druids, but also the contradiction that it is difficult for ordinary civilians to rise and ordinary mages to rise.

This can also be seen from the fact that the mage community, although dissatisfied with the new druid decree, ended up only complaining rather than explicitly opposing it, and it can be seen that the Academy of Magic has indeed played a big role.

And the high mage is not in favor of the majority is not Xia Duo's expectations, after all, he has reached the peak of power and strength, and thinking about the problem is naturally to consider in a long-term direction.

New High Mages don't pop up out of nowhere, they are trained with their participation, or rather, they are giving them the opportunity to grow their wings.

Of course, things in the world can't be completely as they should be, and many high-level mages either oppose it because "high magic is very harmful", or because they "protect traditions", or simply "don't want others to become the same existence as themselves".

But obviously, Xia Duo was right, although this is only a trial, it must also reflect the reality (of the projection plane), and the attitude of the senior mages of the virtual kingdom in the trial is to a certain extent the attitude of those senior mages who dominate the trial of the Excalibur outside.

Most of the high-level mages outside had experienced the Drow War, so they naturally knew the importance of cultivating mages, especially high-level mages.

And this also corresponds to the second core problem in this virtual plane - the problem of development.

In addition to the development of magic, there is also the development of territory and even the life of the people, which is one of the purposes of the merger of the countries of the Ristal Forest to form a unified Comanso.

Thinking about this, Xia Duo can issue orders in a targeted manner.

……

In the next few rounds, Xia Duo reconciled domestic contradictions while actively developing abroad.

Each round of the trial corresponds to the feedback of the mechanism behind the trial to the trialist's commands, and the specific amount of time depends on what command is issued.

If it is a daily government affairs to deal with disputes or something, then the flow of time is very slow, but obviously, it may be okay to do it once or twice, and if it is more, it will definitely be out.

And if it's a big decision that involves everything, time is quickly pushed back to show the consequences of that decision.

As for Xia Duo's side, due to the wide range of his orders, time in the virtual kingdom also passed quickly, and in just a few rounds, two hundred years had passed.

During this period, the achievements of the Academy of Magic were the most prominent, in addition to the six more high-level mages, a large number of elite mages with outstanding talents also emerged.

In terms of reconciling the contradictions, the druid skill competition held every ten years has brought the druid profession a lot of attention in the kingdom, and many small families no longer mind letting the second son or branch of the family become a druid.

As for the upward path of ordinary civilians, for the time being, the only way to do this is to open up to the outside world, join the army, and become a mage.

Yes, despite their supernatural powers, and to a certain extent, the food lifeblood of the country, the druids are still civilians.

This is already a promoted status, put it before, it was called a plantation worker at best, and a slave if it was not good.

As for resistance, they had little recourse but to strike, and a priest could easily deprive them of their power if he stepped forward.

Therefore, Shado attaches more importance to Atwood in the territory of the main plane, once he can become a true natural druid, not to mention the heresy within Netheril, he can even return to the elves.

In fact, if it were on the main plane, Xia Duo would choose to popularize education and adjust the industrial structure to enable the common people to gain a way forward, but here-

He had no doubt that if he dared to issue such an order, the trial would fail.

Even the previous High School of Magic only recruited the children of nobles, of course, there were no nominal nobles among the elves, and the same was true of Nessriel in the main plane.

But this does not mean that there are no de facto nobles, the lords of Nais, the grand arcanists, and in elven society, nobility is also reflected in the possession of the means of production.

Specific to this virtual kingdom in Trials, nobles need to at least have their own plantations and be able to be self-sufficient in food.

It is true that the state will provide food to the civilians, but this is considered undignified, and the first step to secede from the civilians is to acquire their own land.

Basically, there are only three ways to open up to the outside world, join the army, and become a mage.

Becoming a druid can improve your life, but it doesn't help you much with your ranks.

……

Xia Duo did not make any fundamental changes to the elven society, but only fine-tuned it from the perspective of modern people to make it better and faster.

This did not conflict with his purpose of trying to verify the idea of a magical civilization, for which he was almost entirely imaginary, how could he forcibly add some of his existing knowledge?

On the contrary, this process of gradual development, as well as the problems in the process, deserve his attention even more, so that he can return to the main plane and use them.

If a set of standards or theories were to be forced, then Xia Duo dared to guarantee that he would fail the trial in less than a few rounds.

Failure is not terrible, it is a big deal to return to the main plane, but in doing so, you lose a rare opportunity to be helped by many high-level mages to deduce the progress of civilization.
