When food is no longer scarce, when labor is no longer in demand, when the number of witch doctors is about to be no longer limited, a new era will naturally come.

However, just as each stage of the old era had its own problems that had to be crossed, the new era also has new problems to face.

And now, how to form a new balance within the republic with the overall advantage of the tree elves due to their qualifications will be the most unavoidable and difficult part of the issue of citizenship.

At least in the short term, trolls will still be the main force in the republic's population;

Even if we zoom out a little further and look at the medium-term scale of tens or nearly a hundred years, there are differences between the 'pure warriors,' 'war witches, and other acquired elves transformed from trolls, and the innate tree elves, which can be distinguished and utilized.

In such a situation, the pure mechanical balance will inevitably make the status of the tree elves more and more high, and at the same time, there will be a lot of resentment over time;

However, if the soft balance of flexibility is applied, there is also a complexity in the control of scales, and if you are not careful, the tree elves will suffer from 'policy discrimination' due to too good qualifications.

At this stage, the number of troll mouths as the cornerstone of the former is about 67,000, and it still maintains about 300 new additions every year, if it is calculated according to the cycle of ten years of the birth of the tree elves, it is about 3,000 new additions per cycle;

Looking at the tree elf, the number of existing mouths is 2001, and the number of new mouths per cycle is 1000.

3,000 to 1,000, the former has an advantage in the short term, but in terms of the expectation of changes in the number of new additions, the result is the opposite...

After elvening, it takes twice as long to conceive as a tree in the embryonic stage alone.

Therefore, with the growth of the progress of the national elfism, the female fertility intention, which is not high, may become even more sluggish than it is now.

Therefore, the number of new additions to the former will inevitably decrease year by year, and it is even very likely that it will eventually come down to zero.

On the other hand, because of the birth of two new mother trees, the number of new additions will inevitably be leveled or even surpassed after one or two cycles, and with the capture of more higher organisms in the future, there will be an irreversible trend of increasing the gap.

Under the appearance of such a trade-off in the number of new additions on both sides, the number of tree elves will be leveled with the acquired elves in about 30 cycles or even shorter, and in the following time, it will quickly overtake and truly become the mainstream in the social structure.

If the elves are short-lived, then ruthlessness is not a problem;

After several generations of reproduction, the former will naturally disappear completely, and disputes based on the difference between the two will also end without a problem.

However, this is not the case.....

It is known that the theoretical lifespan of trolls is 290-350 years (760-920 years in the earth calendar);

With the higher salamander as a new force, through warrior training and supplemented by implant technology based on culture medium, it is conservatively estimated that it is possible to achieve national elvenism within 50 years;

Even most of the elderly trolls have achieved this category, and only the near-death phase, which accounts for a very small percentage of the total number of mouths, has completely lost the possibility of evolution.

….

That is to say, the number of troll mouths at this stage can be transformed into acquired elves almost without damage within fifty years.

After the completion of elvenism, the average lifespan of the population is estimated to be 600-650 years (the earth calendar is about 1500-1700 years, which is only a laboratory speculation, and there are no real examples of old and dead eucalyptus for reference);

Elderly trolls will re-energize in the process, judging by the current stage of cell observations, it is possible that they will survive the difference in the number of poles of the race's lifespan before and after evolution;

And the rest of the trolls who have completed their advanced stages in the prime of life are not to mention, if they are roughly calculated in terms of cell activity and the number of times they can divide, they should be able to live at least four or five hundred years old, or even about six hundred years old.

This long life span brings more to the individual

At the same time, it will also make many disputes that should have disappeared automatically with the passage of time become stubborn diseases in the hearts of the group.

As mentioned earlier, the difference between the 'acquired elves' and the 'innate elves', and the resulting equality of the elements of citizenship, is an example of this.

What can be judged now is that even if the number of additions on both sides comes and goes, both will be indispensable parts of society for at least the next five or six hundred years, or even longer.

And the control of the balance between them must also be something that must be faced in the development of society.

But on the other hand, opportunities often coexist with risks, the increase of tree elves means the increase in the number of witch doctors, and the increase in the number of witch doctors means the strengthening of scientific research;

Of course, with the possible further differentiation of the class system in the future, it is likely that these tree elves will not target witch doctors and scientific research, but will be willing to delve into the rest of the projects such as warriors.....

But even if only some of them are willing to become research-based spellcasters, it will already be a huge gain for the headquarters.

[In view of the general environment,

With less than a hundred witch doctors now, the Republic has grown by leaps and bounds in all respects, let alone more in the future.

However, while embracing opportunities, it is natural to control the corresponding risks....

Referring to the past and present of the tribes of the northern continent, combined with the current situation of the republic itself, the witch doctors also produced many valuable and transcendental reflections.

While facing many hidden dangers and difficulties, they realized that this seemed to be the best opportunity to make changes for the Rune Council, for the Witch Doctor as a whole, and even for the kingdom.

For example, as an important part of the embodiment of equal citizenship, it seems that it is time to make a certain degree of "liberalization" and "restriction."

Among them, in addition to some long-term and fundamental attempts, in the near future, it is mainly the needle of those tree elves.

Some things are very clear in Freya, the little girl has not made any contribution to the Republic and has not had the consciousness herself, and she has inexplicably become a member of the Rune Council while still in school;

And after she entered the second order, the witch doctors such as coarse teeth and fangs showed a certain trend based on habit......

….

For example, channeling her to the most important standing seats in parliament is a clear indication of the need to train her as a new core member.

Regardless of Freya's talent and temperament, whether she can afford such high expectations;

To say that this kind of selection of key training goals, which has no rules at all, is contrary to the concepts of "equality", "justice", and "transparency", which have always been the core elements of the founding of the country, although they have not been explicitly stated before.

And nowadays, even more so when 'citizenship' rights have been formally proposed, this is completely anachronistic.

But for this, the rest of the witch doctors who also came out of the tribal era didn't care for a while.....

Because in the tribal period, the way of inheritance of witch doctors and witch medicine disciples was so extensive, they were also cultivated in this way, and after becoming witch doctors, they themselves did the same.

In that era when thousands of people could accumulate two or three people with witch doctor qualifications, such a way of inheritance was understandable, and all tribal witch doctors would look for excellent apprentices and then carefully train them as their successors.

However, times have quietly changed, and witch doctor qualifications are no longer as scarce as they were back then;

Regardless of the emergence of meditation methods and the emergence of ambiguous 'war witches', although they also had some effect on change, they did not change the scarcity of highly qualified people.

One of the most critical factors is actually the birth of tree elves;

The existence of a batch of tree elves born every 10 years makes the former model no longer appropriate, and

As time goes on, the 'witch doctor's qualifications, this kind of thing tends to proliferate.

Think about it....

Over the next few years, the first 1,000 tree elves would become witch doctors;

The second batch of 1,000 tree elves were also growing up in their respective juvenile stages at this time;

Not to mention, the third and fourth batches will be born one after another;

In the further future, once the mother tree with the higher salamander as the core has passed the elf cultivation verification, the number of tree elves that can be born in each batch will increase exponentially compared to the current one.

In such a reality, if the qualifications of the councillors and the selection of the future core are still selected in this way, the future council will be filled with underage elves who have not even completed their studies and only want to play all their days.

Undoubtedly, this is by no means a healthy division of power.

It is precisely because of this concern that the decision of the Rune Council will no longer be based on witch doctors, as in the past, but will be replaced by merit and knowledge.

Under the new tone, 'Witch Doctor' is no longer a necessary and sufficient condition for becoming a member of Parliament, and an individual is only eligible to become a member of Parliament if he or she satisfies both merit and knowledge.

That is to say....

Even if the individual is a witch doctor, if they have not contributed anything to the race, they no longer naturally enjoy a seat in the Rune Council;

Similarly, even if the individual is not a witch doctor, they are eligible to become a councillor as long as they have made a certain contribution to the community and have passed the appropriate academic assessment.

….

The determination of meritorious service qualifications was temporarily set at a level greater than or equal to the 'Order of the Great River, Fourth Class.

The determination of academic qualifications is temporarily set as the level of knowledge reserve for graduation from the Central School, or equivalent to the level of graduation from the Central School.

Among them, the former is the average level of the new generation when they enter the society, and every troll must pass the assessment and get a certificate before being allowed to leave the school.

The latter is a modification for the old generation of trolls, who can also take the certificate by registering for the exam on their own, as for how to learn....

You must know that equal access to knowledge is an extremely important thing for witch doctors from beginning to end;

Therefore, in this context, each middle-aged interest school has gradually possessed the ability to cultivate specialist talents, and there is also a stable cooperative relationship with the central school in the cultivation of comprehensive talents and talents;

However, unlike the prime-age interest school, which is under the compulsory national selection of subjects under the order of the Shangfeng policy, the latter is more just a chance, but even if it is an old generation troll, as long as he has the heart to improve, the central school as a comprehensive university will completely open its doors, so that it has the same learning opportunities as the new generation, and get exactly the same graduation certificate.

Therefore, in addition to the traditional witch doctors, warrior groups, civilian people, soldiers, and retired retirees from the military and ruling governments will all have the opportunity to win seats in parliament in the future.

After this change, the current structure of the Rune Council will not change significantly in the short or even medium term, because the dozens of existing councillors have basically been qualified for matching in the long-term research.

Of course, small variations exist;

First, Freya, who did not have enough merit levels, plummeted.

Of course, she didn't care much about the 'parliamentary seats, such things, even the meeting was able to run away and not want to participate;

However, after being suddenly deprived of what belonged to her, Freya still felt a little aggrieved;

Fortunately, there were many ancestors who were willing to explain her, so she learned from the pain and devoted herself more attentively to the development of engineering engines.

Second, a small number of fighters, such as Juya, have the qualifications for seat evaluation because of their own merits.

Among them, a handful of curious, on-the-job warriors who were themselves studious became interested in council seats and passed the academic examination, thus becoming the first non-witch doctors

。

In a sense, this change can be regarded as a small gap in the era of witch doctor training, and there will be more compatriots in different capacities entering the helm and participating in the decision-making of the direction of the republic;

As for the good and the bad in it ....

Since society is built by multiple units, the subsequent direction of progress should naturally be reached by multiple units in compromise with each other.

As for the scruples of efficiency and so on, the witch doctors feel that this is not a matter that should be considered in the first place in the development of the kingdom now, when they already have a certain amount of self-preservation.

This decision was not the result of Nesta's efforts, but a conclusion that was perfected and endorsed by the vast majority of the witch doctors, who did not feel the benefits or losses of the change.

….

It is true that the witch doctors have overcome obstacles and made a contribution to the path of civilization in the reckless times, but this does not mean that they should always be at the helm.

The country of the Black Forest is and will be pluralistic in the future, with warriors, traders, scholars, and so on, who have faded away from their recklessness and gradually possess enough knowledge to support their own judgment, and do not need and should no longer need a group of people to take care of them like babies.

Moreover, the witch doctors have seen and speculated on the possibilities of the future in the city-states of the northern plateau and the ethnic groups in the northern part of the continent.....

One day, consciously or forcedly, the rudder of the big ship will be completely released, handed over to every component of society, and then in the compromise of all sides, in the ups and downs.

This trend cannot be countered without the use of force;

And the result of the use of force is quite likely to make all the existing efforts in vain ....

When the time comes, the country where equality does not exist, fairness is no more, and the country that has finally come out of the wilderness will become a primitive society in another sense of the word, clothed in the skin of civilization, and the first to look forward to the use of force.....

For example, in the mainland tribes, the superior usurped most of the rights by force and then monopolized most of the knowledge, while the inferior ate the resources that leaked from the fingers of the superior, and they had to be grateful to Dade all day long.

The strong clans among them are okay, anyway, there are enslaved races below to support them;

Even the de facto inferior citizens within it can enjoy a life of worry-free food and clothing, as well as a seemingly high status.

The disadvantaged groups are really in layers of hell, oppressed by various races, oppressed by the higher people of their own race, and the people at the bottom have no status and no upward channels at all;

When the knowledge is sifted through layers and finally reaches them, only the lowest production-related content remains, and it is lackluster in terms of individual strength and philosophy.

In terms of individual strength, the knowledge that can be obtained is almost empty, and at most it is just cannon fodder to fight with natural strength;

The latter, on the other hand, are full of servile thoughts, teaching them obedience and contentment.

Under the combined efforts of the two, the people at the bottom were suppressed to the ground and could not turn over.

The witch doctors, led by Nesta and Rough Fang, did not like that kind of future, whether it was the internal stability maintained by the strong through enslavement, or the oppression that the weak were suffering, they were not willing to let their own race go through it.

The witch doctors have no intention of enslaving the people, nor do they have the intention of kidnapping the people's minds, and they are even more unwilling to make the country that has finally come into the current situation into a hierarchical society as common as the ethnic groups on the mainland.

Therefore, they made concessions to the future, deciding to make the Rune Council progressively pluralistic, and to de-sanctify the 'witch doctor profession,';

And prepare for the process to be controlled by this change that can be carried out autonomously before the possible backlash that cannot be suppressed without the use of force arrives.

Of course, this kind of change cannot be carried out quickly, and it is only a tip of the 'end of discipline' that has just begun;

….

The restriction of the Order of the Great River, 4th class, alone was enough to maintain the witch doctors' control over the parliament and the general direction of the republic for a long time.

As it stands, only a very small number of non-witch doctors, such as Giant Fang, can use this rule to enter the council, and with the dilution of the larger number of witch doctors, their opinions will not have much real impact.

This model is actually somewhat similar to the 'imperial cabinet' of the late Qing Dynasty in Nesta's previous life, but the backlash faced by the upper echelons in the late Qing Dynasty has formed an unstoppable momentum like a wave under the influence of various factors;

Naturally, the people at that time would not be satisfied with this kind of concession that amounted to charity.

However, the situation on this side is different, not to mention the backlash, the kingdom has not even shown any signs of discontent, and the people are still at a very high level of trust in the witch doctor and the rune council controlled by the witch doctor.

This kind of 'royal cabinet', an attempt at a degree of pluralism, is not only perfectly feasible for the present kingdom, but also flatters the populace.

Therefore, the decision made by the witch doctors is only a plan for the future, and an exploration of 'citizenship, 'equality' for people;

The most important thing now is to clarify and implement the spiritual and intellectual equality of all citizens within the country, and to strive for equality of opportunity in the social division of labor.

In the future, as a transcendent professional witch doctor, he may only be one of many labels on a citizen, and his holder will not be fundamentally different from a warrior, a scholar, a war witch, a trader, and so on.

A soldier can become a councillor, a sergeant, a member of the ruling government, and the same can be true for a witch doctor.

In addition, the problem of the placement of witch doctors, which Nesta had struggled with before, has also been solved in disguise through this change......

After all, equality should be a two-way street, and it is not an injustice that he tried to restrict witch doctors on the grounds of 'protecting the stability and fairness of the kingdom'?

And the balance that is usurped at the expense of injustice is in essence a kind of oppression that can only be maintained on the basis of might, which is against his own will;

And if Nesta himself dies, or for some other reason ceases to be in power, this balance, which has not been forced by society to compromise itself, is likely to bounce back from the accumulation of discontent, or even worse.

Therefore, just as the warriors' parliamentary qualifications were opened, the path of the younger witch doctors will no longer be limited to scientific research and parliament, but will be free to join the army or do something else according to their interests.

Of course, there are still limitations....

In principle, public service positions such as government officials, active military officers, members of the House of Law, members of the House of Protectors, members of the Rune Council, and other social service positions are not allowed to be part-time, and any individual can and can only have one of them.

~~~~~~

Discussions on social issues such as citizenship and the change of parliamentary seats have actually been going on in parliament for quite some time;

But these problems are not likely to take up 100% of the witch doctors' energy, and most of the day is still spent in laboratories, practice rooms, and many other areas.

The High Salamander Capture Campaign began in July and ended on the day it began, but the subsequent return journey, mother tree planting, demobilization of conscripts, repatriation of mercenaries, and so on cost a great deal of time and energy from all parties in the headquarters;

So, when all this was done, the time had come to December of the 55th year of the Rune Calendar, and the witch doctors were participating in the various discussions of the council and carrying out their own projects.

Among them, the study of the brains and magic crystals of the higher salamanders and the salamanders below 80 meters is a relatively important one.
