Release that Witch Chapter 913: Idealists (below)
Roland expressed his thoughts and looked at each other. "Do you really think that letting Quinn Earl manage Dawn is worse than a rotten neighbor?"
In the face of questioning, Edith did not show the slightest surprise, "In fact, I think the two are comparable in the short term. A stable ally can provide you with natural resource, population, and assistance in War of Divine Will Your action may be full of variables for other nobles, but Quinn Earl has the Andrea loop as a guarantee, and I still have a certain degree of certainty on this point. "
She ... admitted it? This makes Roland somewhat unintelligible. He thought that the opponent's counterpoint would be the untrustworthiness of noble. In addition, the short term in her mouth was What does it mean?
"Conversely, after Dawn is in chaos, the new order needs to be recast. This period will definitely lead to the weakening of the kingdom. If Devil is added to the invasion, neighboring countries will become like Greycastle east and south, Refugees are everywhere, and weeds are overgrown. With a little arrangement, Greycastle will get a large population. Unlike the previous situation, these people will always belong to you.
"But didn't you just say that allies can provide natural resource and war assistance in addition to population?" Nightingale said displeasedly, "How can it be comparable to three benefits without first mentioning one benefit? Considered, how many of those refugees will die helplessly due to lack of clothing and food? "
Edith tit-for-tat: "Three benefits seem to be greater than one, but there are prerequisites. In order to make full use of the natural resource of the allies, Your Majesty needs to invest certain chips such as steam engine, Golden No. 2, and even gunpowder firearms. If these are not available impossible and Devil are confronted solely by Dawn's own strength, not to mention support for Greycastle on the battlefield. This is a very expensive expenditure. Although it can be exchanged for more benefits, situation has not yet met its own needs in Neverwinter City Down, the weight of the chip cannot be ignored. Therefore, one increase and one decrease, I think the two are basically equal. "
Roland ca n’t help raising her eyebrows, and those who can see the benefits from the assistance provided are rare in the entire Greycastle. If he changed to Barov, he would definitely not agree to send his goods and technology as "supporting goods" to neighboring countries.
"Since the returns are basically equal, why do you still insist on the chaotic Dawn to be better?"
"Because witch, Your Majesty." Edith's answer was unexpected.
"Female ... witch?" Roland wondered.
Pearl of the Northern Lands held out a finger, "Yes, please imagine that the new Dawn no longer takes the persecution of witch as a matter of course, even affected by Andrea. It is very likely that Quinn Earl will support witch and emulate you Policy to allow them to participate in production and construction. Without the pressure of survival, the newly awakened witch will no longer migrate to Greycastle, which has already caused you losses. This is one of them.
"Second, the position of Kingdom of Dawn is more advantageous than Greycastle. Whether it is Devil invading Wolf Heart and Eternal Winter, or the embers of Church fugitives, they will push the two countries' witch to the south. Once Dawn is stable, they will Continue to migrate to Greycastle? The answer is obviously not. Maybe decades later, the witch owned by neighboring countries will exceed Greycastle. Compared with the former, this trend is more disturbing to me. "
"Everyone can live well ... isn't this bad? What are you upset about?" Nightingale's tone unknowingly disappeared.
Edith does not look at Nightingale, but looks up at Roland. "Have you ever thought of a possibility that one or more witchs with incredible abilities can instantly change the gap between the kingdom and the kingdom?"
"Like Anna?"
"Yes, like Anna, like Agatha, like Soraya ... their abilities are incredible. When you own them, Neverwinter City opens a gap with other noble territories. This is also yours. The reason why I can come to this step today. "Edith slowly said," Besides, your knowledge and vision are unmatched. As long as you are still in place, there are a lot of Witch Union members, and it is difficult for Greycastle. Encountered a challenger other than Devil. "
Speaking of her here, she said, "But after that? Over a hundred years have passed, and the neighboring countries have made peace with Greycastle Indistinguishable, witch Working in various fields, your writing knowledge also impossible limited in Neverwinter City within. They can learn how to make machines, master everything you teach ... and then, just one person Dawn witch Awakened the irreplaceable ability, Greycastle I'm afraid it will be the one behind! "
"This is not possible" Nightingale subconsciously wants to refute, but when it comes to half, it ends up being neutral.
"What's more, it's only based on the magical powers like Anna, and can you guarantee that Anna is in all witch?" Edith asked word by word, "If the other party's ability is better than Anna Amazing, would the successors of Dawn be willing to treat Greycastle as an ally again! "
Roland almost wants to applaud this remark.
Edith didn't think too far, but thought too far. The average person can only see the changes in recent years, but she has set her sights a hundred years later!
If only that was the case, but in her words, Roland actually heard a hint of technological explosion. As a “come man”, he naturally knew that the speed of advancement of science and technology of human beings was increasing. From the ape man to the igniting of a bonfire, and then from steam power to the information age, a person in modern society has been in his short life. We can witness changes that have not been reflected in the past tens of thousands of years.
After the process of witch joining, this process may be further shortened. The emergence of one or two key witch is likely to lead to a technological change. In fact, as the other party said, if Anna awakens at Shining Light City instead of Border Town's, which step he can take is still a question mark.
When the members of Witch Union grow old, the new key witch appears again in Dawn, then the result is almost self-evident. This is why Edith insists that if they cannot control Dawn, it is better to let them fall into chaos.
Roland believes that if he is an indigenous feudal lord, he is undoubtedly convinced by Edith at this moment. Any junior Kingdom Capital hopes that his country will be endless and immortal, and that future generations will continue their glory. Actions such as cultivating an opponent that might threaten the kingdom are absolutely necessary.
Now it's too late to change his mind, and the price he has to pay is just a small breach of contract and deception, and then let the Otto leave it to his discretion.
But he didn't.
Roland does not care about the country here.
Besides that, he doesn't care what his kingdom looks like after he passed away. He is more inclined to see the progress of the entire human race than to establish a ruler who will live forever. No matter who is the successor of Greycastle's, he has no responsibility or obligation to **** him. As long as he can develop as high as possible in this life and solve the mystery of War of Divine Will, he already feels worthwhile .
As for Four Great Kingdoms's strength and weakness, it's all their own choice.
Finally, there is another obsessed in his mind that looks small but hard to ignore. Easily obliterate the agreement for the benefit, turning lie into a bargaining chip. When he realized this conditioned reflexive resistance, he clearly understood that he could not be a real politician in this life.
"Wonderful inference," Roland looked at Edith with relief, "but I will not take back the order that has been issued."
"Your Majesty" the latter was surprised.
"I know what you want to say, such as that a real king should take interests as the priority, or that deception is nothing but a routine thing," he interrupted, "but what I want to say is that in addition to the king, There are other rulers in this world ... "
"Other ... ruler?" Edith repeated puzzledly.
"Yes, such as an idealistic person."
