Before ascending to God, be a good lord

For a few days since Tanya returned to the ruins on the 9th, Rand, Ben Kaur, and Tania were all in the underground ruins, but everyone had different priorities. Tanya flew around the magic furnace. , Ben Kaur is studying the magic circles on the walls of the 5th floor underground, while Rand is soaking in the 6th floor, sometimes going to the [-]th floor to see all the big guys there, sometimes just in the magic furnace room in a daze outside.

"What are you thinking?" Ben Kaur suddenly saw Rand who was in a daze, and asked curiously.

"I have a question recently, and I haven't figured it out." This question has been stuck in Rand's mind since he came back from the Industrial New Zone. "I feel that in our empire, the citizens are redundant under certain circumstances?"

"Well, why do you have such doubts?" Ben looked at Rand who was thinking seriously, neither affirming his words nor denying his words.

"Look, if you want to build, you can go directly to the big goblin of the earth system; if you want to farm, the food yield from the land with big goblins and magic facilities in the south is much higher than Kobe's farming on the Benma Plain ;If we talk about producing industry and developing iron and steel smelting, it is similar to the huge magic facilities in the new industrial zone, and the smelting capacity is not many times higher than my small furnace." Rand counted agriculture, industry and construction by himself, Once possessed of magic, the efficiency of human labor will be completely compared.

"If I only need magic, what do I need from the people?" The impact of magic on Rand's values ​​is much higher than the impact of material. In Rand's view now, nobles are actually using magic to support their leaders. civil.

"Of course you need the people, even if there is magic to solve everything, you still need blood inheritance. The people are not only your people, but also relatives who are related to you by blood." The people said by Ben Kaur, It refers to the people directly under the majority of the nobles, and for Rand it is the part of the people of the Benma family.

"So the citizens are only part of the blood-related property of the nobles? Then what are we small nobles? The blood and territorial property of the big nobles?" Hearing Ben Calder's explanation, Rand found it even more difficult to accept.

"Rand!" Benkaur heard what Rand meant, and felt that the young Ben Ma family was showing some signs of collapse, so he immediately yelled to stabilize Rand's mind.

"I know that such a thing may be difficult for you to accept. But I want to tell you that when you continue to break through and advance, and you can see more truths about this world and explore a more real world, you will It is discovered that the relationship between the people and the lord is not a relationship of support or support, but a relationship of symbiosis. This may not sound as good as it sounds in noble books, but even in the most real and cruel situations, the two are inseparable .” The mage rested his hands on Rand’s shoulders, stabilizing his emotions.

Symbiosis?Isn't that still a collaboration between two creatures?So even for the most cutting-edge Pure Tower, they also believe that once the bloodline is activated, there are two kinds of creatures between the demon possessor and the non-magic. not going.

Rand calmed down, he no longer discussed this profound issue with Ben, but went to contact the magic himself.Rant doesn't like this kind of world, but he is just an intermediate knight, and now he is lucky enough to have picked up a former king's capital, but even so, he is no better than a human magister and orc's favored beastman. It's just an insect.

If you want to reject the rules of the world, you can only become stronger yourself.

Although there is no guidance from Tanya these days, the magic environment in the underground space is relatively good. Rand's daily training of grudge and magic is faster than before. After a few days of practice, his lighting technique can already illuminate With a space of tens of meters around, and lasting for 10 minutes, the size and launch range of the fireball technique more than doubled before.

Among all the girls studying with Ben Kaur, Wendy and Little Cardinal are the highest-level mages, both junior mages, but Little Cardinal is actually the girl with the lowest foundation and the lowest potential. The "experience package" of the Queen of Yeqicheng broke through instantly.

After learning for two days, Little Cardinal knew that it was impossible for her to understand, so she followed Kay to deliver meals to Rand every day, and practiced spells with Rand.

. . .

Mace Frostwolf and Oberth finally sailed to the docks in the south and east of Yeqi City on the 11th, and delivered all the goods.

On the night of the 12th, Rand organized a grand bonfire dinner outside the cellar to celebrate the territory's move into Yeqi City.

The barbarians, the knights and the girls in the song and dance group sang several songs newly compiled by Rand.

At dinner, Tanya just showed her face. Magic goblins don’t need to eat or sleep. They just showed up to let more demon possessors of the territory get to know each other. Then they hurried back to the underground ruins to continue their research. Not good, see Tania leaving and send her away.

"Wendy, Sophia, would you like to go to the imperial capital with me?" After Rant left, Ben Kaur asked the two girls beside him very formally, "I know the magister of the Tower of Purity, I believe they are very I am willing to take students like you. With your potential, it will take only a few years to break through to a high level in the Tower of Purity!"

"Mr. Ben, thank you for your kindness, I don't want to leave here." Wendy's expression was very firm.

Sophia just glanced at Wendy, and quickly said, "I, like Sister Wendy, don't want to leave here."

"Well, you have to think about it, it looks very lively here, but you may never be able to break through to a high level." His understanding is still incomparable to that of the magicians of the Tower of Purity. Today's magic has entered the arcane stage, and it is no longer the simple theory of magic elements hundreds of years ago. The entire magic theory system is based on mathematics. It is an arcane temple built over hundreds of years, not only that, but today’s magic theory is undergoing new changes every day, and the changes in a few years are even subversive."

"In the imperial capital, the study of magic theory has split into multiple schools, and each school explores the profound meaning of magic from different angles." Speaking of this, Ben changed the subject, "But what can you have in this ruins? What? You can’t even find this textbook here, let alone the magic tower and magic resources that support multiple magisters.”

Ben Kaur's words were very sincere, and what he said was completely true. Unfortunately, the girls were completely unmoved. Only Pete Maned Wolf, who was not far away from him, heard the problem, and it didn't take long. I went to learn from Rand.
