Mage Adam Chapter 413: Secrets and ideals

Covenant races are some good creatures.

Now there is a serious shortage of service personnel in the entire academy continent. Ordinary people are not qualified to receive mages and apprentices. Santa or Adam does not have enough manpower. Most of the contracted slaves are a group of grotesque warmongers, relying on them to receive them. Bloodshed is likely to break out.

So the Covenant Race took the initiative to undertake the reception task.

Although they are nominally equal allies, including themselves, they all know that under the condition of unequal power and no hope of equality, they are actually servants sheltering under the wings of the mages and serving the mages for generations. They are familiar with their work, and they have done it well, and the price Adam paid is to give the young children in their family the qualifications to be promoted to the middle school.

"You're doing a good job." Nahum sat in front of the light screen without any image in the high tower of the Headquarters Academy, looking at the busy scene on the thousands of split screens, and said to Adam.

There is no one around them.

"I was born in ancient times. At that time, the world of mages was still very small. There was only one continent, one empire, and a group of ancient mages who were stupid and self-reliant to do whatever they wanted. Well, it was about the size of the Academy Continent, and I was the eldest prince of the empire. But I didn't like the world at that time, I didn't like my country, and I hated the mages at that time, so I joined Annie and the others and started a revolution together."

Adam quietly listened to Nahum's words, this is probably a common problem of the elderly? Like to talk about those days?

"At that time, our initial idea was to build a world where everyone has hope and channels to gain power, but plans are just plans, and the power of change is so great that even we ourselves can't resist .In the end, the revolution succeeded, and we succeeded in making the mage world a little better than before, but it was actually different from our original intention."

It's been a week since I last saw Nahum.

The liberal faction finally chose to accept Adam's order and sent the apprentice mage to the academy continent. As for whether they have left behind what they think are the real elites, Adam does not know and does not care. When the base reaches a certain level , the power of the individual becomes irrelevant if it cannot form an overwhelming dominance over the system as a whole.

And Adam believes that among the many apprentices in front of him, there must be many geniuses buried in the backward education system, and they will gradually shine in the future college life.

Nahum didn't embarrass Adam in this matter. Instead, it was because of his words that many towers of freedom would cooperate like this.

That's why Adam had the mood and time to listen to an old man and miss the past.

But then Nahum changed his words: "You did a good job, but it could be better. You are too deeply influenced by Annie's attitude."

Adam's curiosity arose.

"You are being misled.

The Santa faction, Annie and the others, as the founders of the world, have great love for this world and do not want anyone or anything to cause harm to this world, which has contributed to the expansion of the liberal faction. They have the power to overwhelm the liberal faction, but they can't bear to do that, so they will compromise again and again and find a balance between the two.

You may not know that in hundreds of thousands of years, this time is the boldest and toughest decision made by the Santa faction, but it only dares to do it on ordinary people and apprentices.

Unwillingness and daring are two completely different attitudes. If they were more decisive, the free faction would not have a chance to grow at all, and the mage world would not appear to be strong and prosperous, but the roots would breed decay and worms. "

Adam said: "But the liberal faction also has true spirits?"

Nahum replied: "True spirits and true spirits are also different. The tower masters and sub-tower masters of the Seven Holy Pagodas really took a ragged attitude, and forcibly stepped out on a path of true spirits. , and the true spirits of the liberal faction just rely on the support and protection of Annie and the others to advance along their path.

The original idea of ​​the magic net was a large-scale mandatory contract facing all mages. If you want to become a magist, you must fulfill the prescribed obligations and be jointly supervised by the Seven Holy Pagodas to establish a free and autonomous magist society. , essentially a magical empire. "

Adam thought about it, if this kind of reform happened now, it would inevitably lead to strong resistance and even the collapse of the order, but it was completely possible to bring it into the situation at that time. Moreover, although the empire is backward in system, it is much higher in execution. Compared with the parliamentary system, it is not necessarily a bad thing for a group of extraordinary creatures.

"Then why is it like this?"

Nahum sneered: "Because of Prometheus' idealism, because of his great prestige at the time, because I didn't become a true spirit in time.

Except for me, the original revolutionaries were all of civilian origin. They were oppressed by the imperial system at that time. They had no right to speak, and no way to ascend. What they had was talent, blood and ideals~IndoMTL.com ~So after the revolution successfully overthrew the old system, they instinctively resisted restoring the imperial system and chose to set up this stupid council of mages.

Idealists can change the world, but when their ideas are too idealized without considering reality, their ideals are equivalent to chronic poison, laying huge hidden dangers for the future.

They focus on ideals, but forget that the etheric void is ultimately a world where power is supreme, and mastering absolute power is the only basis for realizing ideals, rather than pinning their hopes on the approval of others. "

"Like these workers, only absolute power can give birth to absolute obedience, otherwise you think they will be so well-behaved?"

Adam seems to understand something. Although Nahum, who was born in the royal family, is one of the revolutionaries, he is not very popular in the team because of his status. According to what he says now, he must have proposed to establish magic at that time. The idea of ​​the empire, as the highest noble, he clearly sees the advantages and disadvantages of the imperial system, but it is obvious that he was collectively rejected, and may even be excluded because of this.

Maybe that's why he left the Santa to join the Liberals? Concept mismatch?

Nahum didn't look at Adam, but knew what Adam was thinking: "That's part of the reason, but it's not the main one. You should have seen it too. Although I don't agree with their overly idealistic ideas, I hate them even more. The reason why the liberal faction, a group of vampires attached to the system, joined the liberal faction instead of becoming a faction of its own, just didn't want to completely break the friendship that was already breeding cracks."

Adam asked curiously: "Then why don't you promote to a true spirit, with your qualifications, once you become a true spirit, things will change?"
