Chapter 483: Human Identity
The passage inside the door leads to another room. Every time Xia He comes in, the room he sees is different. His guess is definitely correct. This metal barracks are just something similar to Leeds Magic Box.
His Royal Highness sat on a low-rise building with dozens of tables on both sides, and behind each table, a magician sat amidst the table. These magicians vaguely had an epic atmosphere.
They have not really reached the epic realm, but they are powerful and have touched the edge of epic.
As for the level, they are all around 25.
"The Count is here, come and sit down." Princess Angelina smiled and patted the seat beside her.
Xia Hexin said, what are you doing?
When His Royal Highness photographed her position, some of the magicians below showed a look of jealousy.
Xia He was not a person who liked to be roasted by fire, but there was no other chair in the whole room except the princess. Either you just stood or went over to sit.
Xia He walked forward, his mind was spinning rapidly, but he still obediently walked to the princess and sat directly.
The number of magicians in the room is thirty-five, including the princesses. These should be all the people who inspire the magic circle. Protecting a castle area, such a large magic circle will definitely not be able to rely on the princess alone.
The princess's team is really amazing, and it is impossible for everyone to be there.
This is normal. The princess is not just a reputation or the daughter of an emperor, but an official position. The princess can open a palace, own a territory, and have an army.
"Earl Asra, these are all wizards from the Princess's Mansion. Come and get to know each other."
Xia He nodded and said, "I am Asra? Xia."
The mages on both sides can only sign up one by one and have seen them with Xia He.
"Earl, thank you for this time. I have bought time for us to complete the magic circle." Angelina and Xia He were kind, but Xia He had no intention of being polite.
"Your Highness, you didn't tell me that you had captured a prisoner."
Angelina smiled and said, "Prisoners may be very important, and I don't know this will happen. But if it were you, would you let the prisoners go?"
"No, I won't talk to others."
"My father said, you are a reliable person."
Xia Hexin said, are you mocking me? I have asked for a lot of divine crystals, and this thing is sold for more than five million gold coins.
"The twelve towers are all the Imperial Mages I invited back. They have the same identity as you, and they are the lords of strength. You are the only one who has made the most effort this time and is very active."
Xia He was ashamed. It turns out that there was no comparison, so there was no harm?
"They don't move and watch you work hard, of course there will be no rewards, so I'm not at a loss." Angelina smiled at Xia Hedao.
Xia He immediately understood the cause and effect. The princess knew that she would do her best, so the rest of the people were just used to guard the tower. If she performed so hard, the rest of the people would not get any rewards. She gave her divine crystallization, which was actually supposed to be distributed to twelve people.
The eleven powerful lords had nothing to say, and they could still be satisfied with the crystal of divinity.
The princess is not at a disadvantage. The eleven powerful lords always have to guard the tower.
So this is how people can still be used?
"Earl, I have solved the problem of the channel and got the coordinates of that world. If you promise you, you don't have to worry about going to the imperial capital to get the information. It will take about a month. The longer you guard this place, the clearer the coordinates will be, and you can even counterattack and go to another world."
"Congratulations to Your Highness."
"If you are interested, you can take someone with me in the future and go to that world with me."
"Is this your invitation?" Xia He saw the magicians sitting below, and each looked bad.
"Yes, Earl, are you willing to accept my invitation?" Angelina looked serious.
"Of course I do, but there are too many things..."
"Then I welcome you at any time."
Xia He felt very different. This princess made him feel unreal. The distance was far away and he couldn't see clearly. This shouldn't be the feeling that Taoist priests should have.
"There is no war for the time being. Everyone should follow the old rules and talk for a while." The princess looked at the subordinate below.
"Your Highness, I have a question. I want to ask Count Asra." The young mage sitting in the first position on the left immediately spoke, and it seemed that he was going to embarrass Xia He a little bit.
Without waiting for the princess to allow it, the magician continued: "Earl, what kind of model do you think the future war of the empire will be? What is the significance of the magic gun you made for war?"
"War... will involve everyone. In the future, even civilians cannot avoid it. The magic gun I made is the greatest significance of arming civilians."
"Civilian?" The magician's face felt a deep irony.
Xia Hedao: "For example, in many locations, the trained civilians can be competent with a magic gun. After occupying the enemy's territory, various armed patrols are required to arm the civilians. To take on this task, the real soldiers can be freed."
"Isn't the meaning of aristocrats protecting civilians? Your approach is not very unparalleled."
Xia He smiled and said, "Everyone, nobility has much meaning to exist. Sooner or later, it will disappear into the long river of history. The empire should not have so many nobles, nor should it give him privileges just because of his bloodline."
Xia He's words shocked everyone, and for a moment, the room was silent.
"If there was one day, Earl, would you give up your status as a noble?" another young magician asked tit-for-tat.
"I am a man who will break the rule of the nobles. Of course, that day will be very far away, maybe one hundred thousand years later."
"That means, there is no practical meaning?" the magicians asked one after another.
"How can there be no practical meaning? When civilians can assume their obligations, corresponding power will naturally be born. I designed weapons suitable for civilians to use to give them strength. This is the greatest significance. The reason why professionals can have a higher status than civilians is not their bloodline, but their own strength."
The magicians stopped talking, and Xia He's words made them realize a problem, that is, if there really is such a day, the magician's status will not be reduced, but will be higher.
How could Count Asra care about the aristocratic issue? He is a magician.
Magicians can provide power to others and are the basis for the source of civilian power. Magic will become the cornerstone of the entire world. The aristocratic system will become increasingly useless.
In fact, the aristocratic system of the Arcane Empire is different from that of Green Forest. The magician has a higher status and the Magic Academy has a transcendent status.
"In the future, knowledge determines everything. A magician will never lose his status, because no matter how smart an ordinary person is, his thinking speed, survival ability and lifespan are far inferior to that of a mage."
"But your magic gun is more expensive than the one developed by the Empire, has a shorter service life and a higher cost."
"My magic gun does not require special materials. There are many basic materials and alternative materials that can be made in any place. As long as there are enough magicians, thousands of people can be armed immediately. If the magicians are not allowed to do this, the cost will naturally decrease if they use the alchemy factory."
Xia He paused for a moment and said, "Of course, it's meaningless to say this. It depends on the moment. Your Highness directly built more than 2,000 magic guns with more than 600 magicians, causing a heavy blow to the tree demons. Without these magic guns, even if all the soldiers were damaged, they would not be able to block the tree demons from the wall."
Xia He ignored the expressions that others wanted to speak and continued: "How did the goblins fight? A team of 500 people, holding goblin muskets, attacking in a ladder. How many aliens were killed by goblins like this. My magic gun may be of inferior attributes, but is the cost really higher than the goblin muskets?"
Xia He asked more than 30 magicians speechlessly. The empire's magic guns did have good attributes and had a range of more than two miles. However, in the manufacturing process, a lot of special substances are required, and the manufacturing requirements are relatively high, so the cost is impossible to get.
"I can understand your doubts, but what we pursue is not the same thing at all."
"Okay, this topic is so boring. Earl, why not talk about my brother's affairs."
"Your Highness, Prince?"
"Yes, there are no outsiders here. My brother will go to the North first and take over Woods Fortress."
"The legendary strong man in Woods Fortress must have surrendered to the Northern Nobles. I don't understand very well, what good does this do to him." Xia Hedao.
"Everyone is curious about what happened to fall to the north, which gave these people ambition to betray the empire."
"I haven't been in the North for a long time, and most of them are still in the academy. There should be nothing wrong with the three provinces of the North. The problem is on the ice field. Extinct elves here can appear. Why can't the Frost Giant? And it's okay for the Frost Giant. Before the Frost Giant, there were orcs in the North."
Orcs!
Xia He's words made Princess Angelina a little worried.
Orcs were once like elves, spread throughout the world. Before the beast god fell, orcs were very powerful existences and had brilliant civilizations, not ignorant barbarians.
"You have no basis, right?" asked a magician.
"Does it need to be based? If you want to say that the Elf Temple appeared in the Voodoo Forest, I discovered it, so what?"
The magician originally disliked Xia He. If Xia He said this, he could not answer.
"Before the alien races were destroyed, some people forgot how humans survived back then. The half-elves empire was able to fight against the Arcane Empire, but the support of the Green Forest Continent was still behind it. It is not surprising that the northern nobles colluded with the alien races. At least I know that many snowmen were taken over by them."
