Before Leo could react, Ryan had already grabbed his arm and walked outside.

"What is this Ryan doing, and you want to whisper to him?" Alice misunderstood the other party's kindness, but she didn't stop her. For Ryan, she can trust unconditionally.

In the corridor, Leo was powerless to resist at all, not to mention the huge level gap between the two, even the simplest comparison, it was impossible for him to get rid of Ryan's clamps.

"What is he going to do? Is it really just to clean me up? This ...... Is there any other meaning to clean it up?" Leo thought crankily.

Seeing that he was about to reach the bathroom, Ryan stopped and asked, "You killed someone?"

"Uh......" Leo really didn't expect that the other party would ask so directly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Ryan grinned, "How many killed?"

Knowing that it was impossible to hide from the other party, Leo simply gritted his teeth and said half-truthfully: "Five...... On the way back yesterday, several robbers saw that I was drunk and wanted to rob, and I ......"

"It's good to be drunk and still be able to fight five against one and be unharmed. As soon as Ryan finished speaking, he suddenly put away his smile and said sternly: "Her Royal Highness the princess was stimulated by some stimulation when she was a child, and she was most disgusted with blood, you don't know this time, and I won't pursue it, but next time you must pay special attention." ”

"I ...... Remembered. Leo hurriedly replied, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh, looking at the other party's appearance, it seemed that he really had no intention of pursuing it.

Ryan expressed his satisfaction, took out a small bottle from his bosom, and handed it to Leo: "This is a powerful deodorizing potion, dripped on the back of the neck. ”

............

Back in the study, Alice looked at Leo, who hadn't changed much. Strangely, "Ryan, have you cleaned him up?"

"It was really cleaned. Ryan replied sincerely, and seeing that Alice was still going to ask a question, he preemptively said: "Your Highness, you have made an appointment with Count Leander today, and it is already nine o'clock." ”

Alice, of course, could see that Ryan didn't want to ask more, and although she was puzzled, she still looked at Leo: "Mr. Minethiel, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess. Leo saluted. Then he honestly sat down on the chair that the other party was referring to.

Alice pondered for a moment and said, "Your speech on the popularization of magic yesterday was very interesting, can you elaborate with me?"

This proposition is too broad, and I only have such an idea, if I have to elaborate, I have to summarize it well. Leo said euphemistically. In fact, he had indeed thought about the popularization of magic before, but it was simply impossible for his current self to interfere with the development of the entire wizarding world.

Alice, of course, couldn't let him go, so she said, "Then tell me about it first." How did you come up with the idea. ”

Leo had to rearrange his language and said, "This starts a long time ago, I am a civilian......"

Alice raised her hand directly and interrupted, "Your situation." I have a general understanding, so let's get straight to the point. ”

"Okay. Leo sorted out his words and spoke again: "As someone who once lived at the bottom, I crave the most things. It is to gain strength and change one's destiny. Then I came into contact with magic and began to grasp a little bit of power. Then it occurred to me that there are so many people like me, why can't they borrow magical power to change their fate?"

As if immersed in his own world, and as if he had returned to the blue planet that haunted him, Leo continued: "Seeing people writing letters, and then relying on messengers to travel long distances to deliver them, and it takes a long time to communicate, I wonder, why can't I invent a magic tool that allows two people to talk instantly? When I see the women weaving cloth and grinding their fingers to blood, or the craftsmen forging iron and breaking their arms, I wonder why I can't invent a magical machine to replace human labor?"

Such an opening statement made Alice a little disappointed: "What you said has already been saved." ”

Leo smiled: "It is true that there is zài, but it is not cheap enough, and my definition of the popularization of magic is the large-scale popularization of these magic products under the premise that the majority of civilians can accept them." You must know that technology is the primary productive force, it determines the level and speed of development of the productive forces, if the common people can use these magic products, the productivity will be greatly improved, the living conditions will be improved, and the comprehensive national strength of the entire empire will also grow simultaneously. ”

"Technology is the primary productive force and the ...... of comprehensive national strength" Alice silently muttered these two novel definitions, and then puzzled: "How is this possible if it can be popularized on a large scale?"

"Of course it's possible, take the development of the teleportation circle as an example......" Leo said too much, feeling a little dry in his throat, and swallowed.

Alice empathetically poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Leo spoke loudly, and was about to drink it, but he heard Ryan suddenly let out a loud cough. Only then did he realize that he was not in the university classroom of his previous life, but facing the ruling class of feudal society, and hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "I'm so sorry, how dare I let Her Royal Highness the princess pour water for me." ”

"It's all right, Mr. Minethiel, drink it, and then please continue. Alice smiled softly, her eyes sparkling, and she was clearly very interested in the theory that Leo had proposed.

"Thank you. Although Leo was very thirsty, he only took a small sip, "Take the development of the teleportation circle as an example, at the beginning of its birth, the price of this teleportation method was so high that no mage could afford it. However, with the continuous improvement of the magic array and the continuous optimization of the magic structure, although it still costs a lot of money to teleport once, it is not unbearable for people who can rush and have some net worth. Of course, this is just one example, but there are many more of the same, and I won't list them all. What I'm trying to say is that this cost reduction, an inevitable trend, is that magic is actually moving in the direction of popularity. That's why I would say that demand determines supply, and demand determines the direction of research. ”

Alice blinked, digested what Leo said, and wondered: "But it has been at least thousands of years since the invention of the teleportation magic array, and this kind of popularization is too slow." ”

Therefore, Chairman Pusher's plan can show greater value. Leo looked at Alice's moving pale blue eyes and asked, "Do you know what the ultimate goal of the mages is?"

Alice replied without hesitation, "Of course, it is to seek the truth of the world." ”

"So well understood...... She can't be a mage, right?" Leo guessed and nodded, "That's right, but don't you think this goal is a little too unrealistic?"

Alice thought about it seriously, and suddenly felt a door open in her head, and nodded in agreement: "It seems that this is really the case." Let's take me as an example, I'm a level 3 mage now, but I still haven't understood a lot of magic principles clearly, let alone pursue the truth of the world. ”

"She's really a mage, it seems that she's only in her early twenties at most, and the talent of the royal family is really amazing, no wonder she can sit on the throne for thousands of years. Leo didn't know that Alice was also a level 3 warlock, otherwise he would have been even more surprised.

Clapping his hands slightly, he raised his voice and said, "That's right! The pursuit of truth can be completely done by those top mages, and those low-level mages who will never be able to come into contact with these in their lifetime should focus on reality. ”

After a slight pause to make the other party fully understand what he meant, Leo continued, "Now back to the civilianization of magic, I would like to ask you a question, if all Calents, young and old, regardless of gender, have access to the opportunity to learn magic, how many mages will appear in this country?"

"In the last imperial census, there were about 40 million people, and even if there was one mage in a thousand, then there would be 40,000 mages...... Forty thousand! Oh my God!" Alice closed her mouth in surprise. The Calente Empire is one of the most powerful countries in the entire plane, but the total number of registered mages is still far less than 10,000, and this number also includes a large number of magical apprentices.

Leo shook his head and said, "Actually, there are far more than forty thousand. Many people seem to have no magic and are ordinary, but it is not impossible to become a mage through continuous learning, so I think it is a reasonable number for one mage to appear in a hundred people. ”

Alice never thought about this question, and subconsciously calculated: "There is one mage in a hundred...... That's 400,000 mages......"

This was definitely an unimaginable number, and she couldn't help but think that it would be easy for a terrifying legion of 400,000 mages to sweep the entire world away. 400,000 rounds of magic missiles fired in a volley, not to mention the legendary powerhouse, even the true god, will also be bombarded into slag.

However, of course, Leo will not think of war first, like Alice, he cares more about the changes that magic will make in this world: "Yes, 400,000! Excluding some other influences, such as disease, premature death, self-abandonment, etc., there are at least 200,000 mages! Let one-tenth, or even one percent, of them conduct cutting-edge magic research, then let one-tenth of them conduct basic magic research, and the rest of those who have no research talent will carry out daily maintenance of magic products, etc." Do you think that 40,000 basic researchers will be able to greatly accelerate the popularization of magical products?"

"Forty thousand people for basic research...... Alice felt like she was going to faint, and even Ryan, who was not interested in magic, stared blankly, unable to believe the scene in her mind.

At this moment, they completely ignored that what Leo said was just the most ideal state, although it had a certain reference value, it was basically impossible to achieve. Moreover, this state is still based on the fact that basic magic education is the first to be completely popularized in the empire. (To be continued......)
