Chapter 829: Star Sea Monthly (Medium)
"Chief ......"
"Rest easy. ”
The court mages gathered in a hall arguing over the copies of the Star Sea Monthly on a table, and Ruerno walked in just then, and the mages standing at the end of the crowd noticed his presence and hurriedly called, only to see their chief raise a palm and stop him from speaking.
The hall was unusually noisy, and the mages, who were supposed to be synonymous with calm and sanity, were flushed with noise from a magazine, and the noise was more like a roof toppling.
When the shouting and scolding poured into his ears, Ruerno involuntarily frowned, sighed silently, and tapped the head of the staff twice with his index finger, and the sound in the hall suddenly disappeared.
Before the court mages could react, their mouths opened and closed hard, and after slapping their palms on the table several times, they suddenly realized that they had lost their voices.
"Ahem!" Roul cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention, "Everyone, be quiet!"
He walked slowly, and the court mages danced and tried to tell the chief what they thought, but they couldn't make a sound anyway.
The court mages made a way for their chief to walk to the middle of the hall, to the table.
The court mages, who were still noisy, slowly calmed down as they watched Ruerno walk to the table.
They embarrassedly lowered their raised hands, their eyes cleared again, and when they looked at each other, they could still notice the residual flush on each other's faces, and at this moment they felt that everything that had happened before was so ridiculous that they would quarrel over a 'magazine'.
"I've read this 'magazine' too. ”
Lu Erno pointed to a few copies of the Xinghai Monthly on the table, and turned his head to look at the court mages around him, "I also know what you were arguing about just now, but if you continue to quarrel like this, not only will it be impossible to convince the other party, but it may also lead to a brawl." So, I just want you to calm down, sit down, and have a good discussion. ”
As he spoke, he beckoned to the court mages, "Sit down, sit down." ”
Ruerno seems to be old and dizzy, but in fact, his eyes still shine with the light of 'wisdom', and he is not just here to do peace.
The court mages hesitated slightly, but soon, they were seated one after another.
With a flick of his index finger, the restriction magic was lifted, and the feeling of being stuck in his throat suddenly disappeared, and the court mages couldn't help but shout: "Chief!"
Hearing this call, Ruerno's brows sank, and he hurriedly whispered: "Don't you even listen to me?"
This weak voice echoed in the hall, and the court mage, who had originally wanted to say something, immediately closed his mouth and stopped speaking.
Seeing their performance, Ruerno's eyebrows stretched, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After a moment of silence, Urno said: "First of all, I can be sure that the articles in this magazine, no matter which one they are, have a certain degree of accuracy!"
Hearing this, the court mage couldn't help but whisper, some of them had an excited look on their faces, and some of them frowned slightly, and the corners of their mouths pursed, obviously a little unconvinced.
Taking in the looks of these people, Rourno stroked his beard and said leisurely: "If you don't believe it, for the second part, you can try to do some experiments, and the experimental methods are also explained in the second part." The rest of the chapters are not easy to experiment, but before long, the 'Potions Furnace' will arrive, and after that, the Mage Academy will also start teaching, if you really don't believe it, you can try it, but the experiment will take a long time. ”
Hearing this, the court mage, who was still a little skeptical, quickly wavered.
They looked at each other, trying to see the resoluteness in the eyes of their companions, but unfortunately, the eyes of the others were also blank.
"Secondly, we don't have to worry about anything at all, and we even have to be happy about it!"
The court mages had not yet woken up from their confusion and excitement, and when this sentence fell into their ears, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and there was an uproar.
Some people couldn't help but exclaim: "Why did the chief say this?!"
There was another commotion in the hall, and all that could be seen was panic as far as the eye could see.
Almost every court mage had panic written on his face, which made him shake his head and sigh lightly, it seemed that not much, even no one thought of this layer......
Ruerno paused his crutches and said indifferently: "Quiet!"
But the hall didn't fall silent immediately, and the court mages were still noisy, and only after those who heard the chief voice quieted down, did they gradually fall silent.
Ruerno looked at these people with expressionless faces, the panic on their faces had not completely faded, and many of them still had a look of hesitation on their faces.
"What are we to the Empire?" Rourno asked softly, looking at them.
The court mages looked at each other, and after a long time, one of them answered tentatively, "Yes...... Mage?"
Ruerno didn't nod or shake his head, he turned to look at the man and asked again, "What about the specifics? Can anyone answer?"
The people were lost in thought again, and feeling the Chief's gaze, the mage was sweating profusely and hurriedly replied, "Yes...... R&D?"
"And then?" asked Ruerno again.
"It's a soldier......," replied another court mage.
"It's the Potions Master......" another voice sounded.
"It's a craftsman......" is a different answer.
These answers from themselves made all the court mages stunned, and from these various answers, it can be known that their identities are not as pure as they imagined.
"Even if machines are already capable of doing what we can, does the Empire still need mages?"
His eyes roamed over everyone's faces, and when he saw their thoughtful expressions, a smile slowly climbed onto Rouno's face.
The answer, of course, is ...... Need!
All of them received answers from their brief thoughts, and were surprised to find that even with such a future, their existence was still indispensable.
Because machines can't design themselves, even if ordinary people can make other magic machines by so-called 'magic machines', even if everyone can use magic, they don't have the ability to design 'new things'.
Whether it's the combination of magic circles or the creation of new potion recipes, it will require the participation of mages, who can even try to design new magic machines......
Contrary to what they had imagined, if such a future emerges, their existence is truly indispensable!
They weren't confused by this, after all, they were all mages, and no one who could become a mage was a fool.
"What does Serena want to do is make the mage indispensable?"
Soon, this idea was raised.
This made the court mages a little excited, and the eyes that looked at the "Xinghai Monthly" became a little different.
However, at this moment, Ruerno shook his head, "You are all wrong, that head maid wants to do more than that. ”
The Chief's words made all the court mages stunned.
If it weren't for this...... What else could it be for?
"That's just a side effect of 'this future', that's not what the head maid was for......"
Ruerno whetted their appetite for a moment before he sighed: "What she really wants to do is to empower the 'ordinary people' and overthrow the existing mage class - only this is the real purpose of the head maid!"
If the mage class continues to exist, it means that ordinary people will not be able to gain 'power', and only by overthrowing the existing mage class can ordinary people have magical powers.
Otherwise, the mage class has always controlled the 'magic', how could they possibly allow the magic energy machine to spread smoothly?
