crush the rich

Yin Lian was stunned, and it took a while to realize that the black sage pointed directly at the most important core.

The person standing opposite her is the ruler of a continent, a strong man who rose from the humble beginnings and suffered persecution of an era, but finally rewrote history with his wisdom and strength.

He has a flexible mind and clear thinking, and has a unique and clear understanding of the whole world and the essence of things. He is not the students or subordinates that Yin Lian usually deals with. She should not have tried to use her eloquence to easily Convince him.

But Yin Lian didn't want to just admit defeat.

She rearranged her thoughts.Essentially, she thought she was right and just needed to rediscover her arguments.There is almost no doubt that the earth's social system is more advanced than Martil's. Leaving aside complicated theories and tedious details, we can only look at the most essential results. There is a large population on the earth, but people's average quality of life and happiness index It must be much higher than Martil's - this is definitely not just a matter of technological level, in fact, magic civilization does have very outstanding technology, but the scope and ways of use are too limited.

However, it cannot be argued from this aspect, because there is nothing in it that can impress the black sage.It is useless to just describe how beautiful modern society is. First, the black sage has never seen it before, so all descriptions will eventually appear too illusory and unconvincing.On the other hand, magicians are a kind of existence that pursues the spiritual realm. When they are not very concerned about the happiness of the general public, they obviously lack the motivation to pursue a higher quality of life.After all, in terms of living standards, they are higher than ordinary people, and since they have never seen people with higher standards, they lack concepts and desires.

It is estimated that the food can tempt the black sage a little bit, but if food and political ideas are weighed together, the ghost knows which one the black sage will choose in the end.

The black sage looked at Yin Lian silently for a while, then suddenly laughed.He stretched out his hand to press Yin Lian's dumb hair, and said: "Lian, sometimes I think...you are really a terrible child. Generally speaking, children of your age are still very naive, even a bit stupid. Even when I was back then... Even if I was a little smarter than ordinary people, there were times when I was naive and stupid. You are completely different."

Yin Lian thought, after all, I read the file and reworked it.

"I know you're still trying to convince me, and even if your reason doesn't convince me, it will definitely surprise people. Pity... I'll wait for your persuasion. You can come to convince me anytime."

Yin Lian didn't expect him to say that.

But no matter what, at this time she has almost sorted out her thoughts and found the entry point.She said: "Teacher, you are right, the church is indeed depriving people of their thoughts... But have you ever thought that you don't want to deprive people of their thoughts, but first of all, they must first produce and have their own thoughts .”

The black sage was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Ideas arise naturally. Only when someone is born, new ideas will naturally be born."

"But not everyone will have a mind of their own."

Black Sage: "...But we must ensure that those who have thoughts will not be deprived of their thoughts."

"No." Yin Lian said, "Teacher, I think that is more important than this, isn't it how to let people without thinking learn to think and produce their own thoughts?"

The black sage said: "Yes, there is, and if there is no, there is no. This kind of thing... can it be changed?"

It's over, he doesn't have the concept.

Yin Lian struggled for a while, and said: "Things like thoughts certainly cannot appear out of thin air. They should be cultivated and inherited. Well-educated people must be more likely to produce thoughts than uneducated people, right? "

Speaking of which... it seems to make a little sense.

The black sage was silent for a moment, then said, "Continue."

Seeing that he accepted it, Yin Lian immediately relaxed a lot, and said: "The teacher said that the church deprives thoughts... yes, I agree with this, because in a sense, instilling specific thoughts in people does not allow him to produce other ideas. Different thoughts, this is a kind of deprivation of thought. In such an environment for a long time, people will gradually give up thinking. But, teacher, have you ever thought that if we instill different thoughts in them, they may also become Another look."

The black sage frowned slightly, and then said: "You mean...order them...to think?"

Yin Lian said: "The word order is too cold and direct, and it is easy to be misunderstood. How about we 'encourage' them to think and instill in them a belief that 'thinking' and 'seeking truth' will be rewarded."

The black sage didn't speak for a long while.

Seeing that he had no intention of objecting, Yin Lian continued tentatively: "If they don't have thoughts from the beginning, then what's the point of controlling them? And only after controlling them can we put our own beliefs and thoughts into practice." Instill in them, and then they may have ideas. Even if this process will appear tortuous, but as long as this method is feasible and the result is good, we can use it.”

The black sage was silent for a long time before he suddenly laughed lowly and said, "What you said is very interesting, I will consider it. But for now, let's take a look at the stone first."

When they came to the laboratory in the tower, the black sage quickly took out all kinds of stones and started the experiment.He first selected a few crystal stones of various textures that were pleasing to the eye, put them in his hands and observed them mentally for a while, and found that the magical elements would disappear in these stones.

The black sage was taken aback, and when he took the initiative to use magic power to wrap it, he discovered something even more surprising.

Spiritual power is extremely sluggish in this stone, but magic power cannot stay in it at all. Basically, as long as the magic power gets close to it, it will be directly transformed soon—for example, if the fire element gets close to it, it will be absorbed by it. Slowly absorb directly, and then become hot - in a sense, this is a kind of "magic discomfort characteristic", but on the other hand, it represents another possibility - it can be used as a magic trigger device to use.

But when the black sage increased the input of magic power, he discovered the weakness of this function—it actually shattered directly.

The black sage thought for a while, then extended his magic hand to another stone.

Yin Lian couldn't bear to look at all kinds of stones that she had carefully purchased at a high price being destroyed like that.If she had known that this would happen, she would not have purchased so many and complete types of stones. Anyway, no matter how precious the stones are, they are nothing more than "stones from another world" to the black sage.

In order to keep out of sight and out of mind, Yin Lian left the tower with the excuse of preparing a sumptuous lunch for the black sage.But after she left, she realized that the misery of the war slaves was far greater than her imagination.This is not difficult to understand. The slaves who can operate in the central area of ​​the Mage Association, even if they are miserable, are the slaves of high-level mages. It won't be too down and out. 33 Novel Network

But some civilian slaves are different. Their fate seems to be doomed from birth, and even when they become slaves, they are inevitably inferior.It's not the first time that Yin Lian feels the horror of this world, and every time, she will show a deeper love for her own world.

Their world may still be far from perfect, but at least they can ensure that people can change their social status to a certain extent through their own efforts, and it is not accidental, as long as they work hard enough, they will definitely be able to do it.

It must be said that reality is quite different from the story.

The glamor in the TV series does not exist at all in reality.Others look forward to seeing ancient costume dramas with fresh clothes and angry horses, gourmet food and fancy clothes, but they don’t know that TV dramas are always about the time, not history.

History is filled with blood, but the truth of history is filled with dim candles and lanterns, barrenness, poverty, and uneasiness.Technology has changed too many things, and the evolution of the social system has also changed the fate of too many people. It is difficult for many people living at this time to truly feel the changes based on imagination alone.

But Yin Lian felt it.

Many people have seen beggars with severed arms and legs begging on the street, but has anyone seen someone driving a monster to gnaw another person to pieces?The moment she saw that scene, Yin Lian felt that it was impossible for any of her compatriots to yearn for it.And sometimes, you can't even resist, because resistance comes at a price.

If I had to say it, Yin Lian was able to stop this cruel scene, but the people would not feel grateful or appreciative, because for them, this was just a natural way to deal with the enemy.

This scene is not in one place, but everywhere.How the church and the ordinary people under the church’s governance treated the mages, and now the mages and their followers are repaying the same. The methods may not be more cruel, but it is a kind of cruelty full of imagination.

It is definitely not a good thing for people to use their imagination on cruelty.

Yin Lian forced herself to see every cruel scene on the street.Even though she was usually as cold and tough as her, she still felt that this was a scene that could make people have nightmares late at night.But even so, she didn't look away, nor stepped forward to stop her.

She didn't look away because she needed to know how many cruel ways these scenes had, and what kind of cruel means, so that she could make appropriate remarks on this matter later.The reason why I didn't step forward to stop it is because when this kind of behavior is a social norm, then it is useless to stop any individual case... Only by fundamentally changing it can we really prevent things from happening again.

And to do this, she must first not expose her purpose, but tactfully let people feel the harm of this matter, and fundamentally change her mind.

If one day the earth and this world will meet, Yin Lian must not leave such a wild, cruel and aggressive world to his compatriots.

She is a selfish person, so she always hopes that her compatriots are as fierce as tigers and wolves, but she hopes that other countries are as docile as sheep.
