Chapter 32: A Thought-provoking Speech

Sost nudged Leo and whispered, "Go ahead, don't keep everyone waiting too long." ”

Leo came back to his senses, although he didn't understand why Puser did this, but now on this occasion, he couldn't think much about it, so he had to walk to the presiding stage.

Many of the nobles present did not attend the pre-examination results announcement ceremony in person due to their status, and it was the first time they had seen Leo at this moment.

There was a burst of whispering from the crowd, with the voices of the two girls being the loudest.

"He's Leo, and he's good-looking!" said a short girl, her eyes glinting.

Another girl who was a little taller nodded and said, "Yes, and you look at his appearance, he is still very stable and temperamental." ”

Thinking of Leo's identity, the short girl became a little low again: "It's a pity that it's just a civilian ......"

The tall girl waved her hand: "He is now a mage apprentice, and he will definitely be able to become an official mage in the future, and he is also the first place in the preliminary examination, so it shouldn't be difficult to get the title." ”

Hearing what the other party said, the short girl immediately regained her interest: "That makes sense, hee-hee, I'm going to invite him to a dance in a while." ”

The tall girl immediately pressed her hand on the top of the other party's head and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm your sister, I should come first!"

Not only these two girls, but when they saw Leo in a dress and a handsome appearance walking towards the stage, many ladies and ladies also had plans to dance with him, and some nobles with complicated minds even had deeper plans.

The first place in the preliminary examination, and a civilian, is definitely worth a lot of effort. And I heard that he came out of the Joseph family, the current situation of that family is not very good, and he doesn't look at what strength he is, and he actually wants to be promoted to marquis, you must know that there is no duke family in the entire Ruhr region, only two very close marquis families. Of course, they didn't want to let the division of forces that they already had in place be taken away by the Joseph family.

"Well, if you use the method of marriage, you should be able to subdue him, how can a young man resist the power of love?" a viscount thought to himself, looking at his beautiful daughter beside him.

Of course, Leo noticed this qiē, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seems that it is difficult to keep a low profile for a while, and his dancing skills are very bad. It's a real headache. For a moment, he suddenly remembered Isa, who didn't know where she was. The relationship between the two is sweet and short-lived, but he has almost never done anything romantic for her, even if it is a dance together......

"It would be nice if Isha could be here. Leo thought with great regret.

Psy smiled and watched Leo approach, of course he didn't want to make Leo make a fool of himself, as for not telling the other party in advance to make a toast, he just wanted to see Leo's adaptability, and through the previous math competition. He believed that Leo could handle it, after all, if he wanted to become a qualified mage, it was not enough to devote himself to research, and he had contact with nobles. It is also essential.

"Don't be nervous, kid. Psycer handed over a wine glass and whispered.

Leo nodded and took the glass. Looking at the gaze projected below, there is anticipation and yearning. And the more is curious. They obviously wanted to know what kind of toast a child from a civilian background could give on such an occasion.

Pusher stepped aside, gave up the podium, and said, "You can start, just say a few words, such as your experience along the way." ”

"Are you trying to make a fuss about my civilian status again?" Leo bowed slightly, already having a plan. Although Robert admonished himself to keep a low profile, Puser's goal was deeply imprinted in his heart, so he wanted to help the other party, even if it was only a few small words.

Thinking of this, Leo spoke: "Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, it is an honor to stand here. Thank you, Your Excellency, for giving me the opportunity to talk about some of my feelings about learning magic. ”

After a deliberate pause, Leo continued: "As you must know, I am a commoner, and it is not easy to get in touch with magic, but in my opinion, magic is not so high. ”

Such an opening statement immediately drew everyone's attention completely, and many people's impression of Leo changed from calm to arrogant, and even Pusher was surprised, secretly regretting the decision he made.

"This guy hasn't been in awe of magic since he became an official mage?"

Of course, Leo wouldn't really be so arrogant, he wanted this effect, otherwise who would listen seriously to the feelings of a civilian boy. Without giving everyone too much time to react, he continued: "Since its inception, magic has represented profound knowledge, great power, and has been mastered by only a few. But I want to ask, what is the meaning of magic?"

There were also many local mages present, and some people immediately questioned: "This kind of thing, when you reach the legend, it's not too late to discuss it." ”

Another chimed in: "You're a magic apprentice, it's too ambitious to think about this kind of thing. ”

Faced with doubts, Leo smiled and shook his head: "Or can I put it another way, what exactly does magic serve?"

This time he didn't give the people below a chance to question, and asked himself: "Magic is at the service of our lives, and although in many cases, magic is used in combat, but at the same time, it is constantly changing the way we live. For example, the long-distance teleportation magic circle allows us to travel faster, such as the thermostatic magic circle, which allows us to enjoy the comfortable temperature and sleep peacefully in both summer and winter, and magic healing potions, which can save us from the torment of injuries and diseases......"

After giving five or six examples in a row, Leo changed his words: "So I boldly predict that maybe one day in the future, ordinary people will be able to use magic to generate construction, such as seeders and automatic irrigation machines powered by magic, which will greatly improve the efficiency of generation, and maybe one day in the future, people can also use magic to carry out large-scale transportation, such as magic-driven large vehicles, which can transport the grain handed over by a nobleman to the collection warehouse with only a few trips." ”

In fact, the development of magic in the Gaia world has been quite mature, but it has remained in the superstructure, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, they have maintained the most primitive reverence for magic, in their opinion, magic is in the sky, inscrutable existence. This is somewhat similar to the history between the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution.

And Leo is a time-traveler after all, with a broad vision far ahead of the times: "So I think that the popularization of magic is an inevitable trend, and our lives will also undergo unprecedented changes, of course, the premise is that the door bar of magic can be greatly reduced, and it can be completely open to civilians, and only civilians with a large population base can completely contact magic, this change can happen." ”

"The popularization of the law is an inevitable trend...... Pusher looked at Leo dumbfounded, not expecting the boy in front of him to make such a point. However, he also vaguely felt that Leo was right, although he couldn't imagine what the world of magic would become.

But one thing is very clear to Pusser, basically Leo's views are the same as his goal, to increase investment in basic education, so that more civilians can learn magic, so as to promote the development of magic.

"But how can this kid think so far-reachingly, does it have something to do with his difficult upbringing?" Psyr could only explain to Leo in his heart.

The auditorium fell silent, and everyone was once again lost in thought, and with Pusser's speech earlier, Leo's words did not seem too abrupt.

And the person who misunderstood Leo before, and then looked at his gaze, it became more complicated, this is by no means an arrogant teenager, but a person with his own thoughts and goals. There is no reason for such a person to be buried, if he can be drawn into his own family......

As for most of the girls present, although they didn't understand what Leo wanted to say, his elegant posture, handsome appearance, calm temperament, and magnetic voice made them yearn for it more and more, and if it weren't for the fact that the ball hadn't started yet, they would almost rush up and invite Leo to dance.

"I'm done with my thoughts, and I wish you all a great evening. Leo raised his glass and drank it down. In fact, he knew very well that if he wanted to trigger a magic revolution, it was by no means something he could do at present, and it might take more than ten years, hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years of continuous brewing and fermentation before it finally broke out.

But one qiē does not prevent him from wanting to sow the fire in advance, who knows if one day in the future, this fire will ignite the raging flame of change in the Gaia world.

"Bang Bang!"

In the silence, loud applause came, and Leo followed the sound to find that there were five more people at the door of the auditorium.

This is a very strange combination, first of all a woman with rare light blue hair, also light blue eyes, looking about twenty years old, tall and slender, fair and delicate skin, set off by a long black inlaid with gold trim, looking unusually beautiful and moving, and seems to have an innate noble temperament.

Behind the woman, there was Anna whom Leo didn't want to see very much, and as for the remaining three, they were two heavily armed soldiers, and a tall middle-aged man in ordinary clothes.

Leo's gaze couldn't help but lock on the middle-aged man, even if he was far away, he could still feel the faint coercion emanating from the man, so he immediately judged that this man's strength was probably very terrifying!

At this time, the young woman in front of her spoke to Leo: "Very wonderful speech, thought-provoking, this time it is really not in vain, my father may be very interested in your thoughts." (To be continued......)
