"Your Majesty, the results of the accident have been counted," Barov and Shujuan walked into Roland's office together. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Oh?" Roland asked with concern, "How's it going?"

"Fortunately, no one died of serious injuries as a result," relieved the governor of the town hall, "three people were broken, all of them fell while fleeing, two lost their hearing, presumably caused by the sound of an explosion, and one person suffered burns, but after Miss Nanawa's treatment, all of them recovered." ”

The teacher, who was on lunch break in the break room, heard a loud noise and immediately organized an evacuation, and Philin Hilter claimed that the First Army was conducting a drill, simulating an enemy raid on the academy, and asked the students to cooperate and not panic. This statement keeps order stable on the scene - except for the sixth class, who witnessed the witch's awakening. "So the fractures and deafness are all in the same class." ”

"It's the dawn of dawn," Roland couldn't help but praise, taking advantage of the First Army's great prestige in Neverwinter, it was convenient to control order and reduce panic. In this way, the impact is minimized, and as long as the remedial measures are taken properly, most people will not realize that witch awakening is actually a very dangerous process.

Of course, it is also crucial for the Awakened to keep their abilities within a very small range - the loud explosion is caused by the electric current breaking through the air and forming an arcing path with the metal latches on the windows, and the principle of thunder is the same, it sounds earth-shattering, but it is not very harmful.

Fighting fires was Elgertha's specialty, and when she arrived at the scene, she froze the fire in just a few minutes, sparing the main school building - though Roland was already considering whether to replace the houses with brick and concrete structures to prevent something like this from happening again.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with this matter?" asked Barov.

"Do you have any ideas?" Roland tapped on the table, not answering directly.

"I think it should be seen in two separate ways. The manager pondered for a moment, "The fight between the children is not the key, the main thing is the long-distance conflict behind it. According to what we know so far, the two sides of the conflict are from the south and the east on the other, and the reason for the dispute is whether the east is the land of the traitor - you know, Tifeco's territory happens to be the Golden Spike City in the east, and it has not surrendered to you yet. So......" he paused, withdrawing the rest of his sentence, probably not wanting to dwell too much on the royal struggle, "in short, if it weren't for the adults behind their backs, the children would not have known about these things." Such conflicts can be put an end to by severely punishing the parents of the initiators of the conflict and explicitly prohibiting the discussion of treason. ”

"Hmm...... You go on to say. ”

"The second point is the danger that witch awakening can cause to the people, and my suggestion is that whatever sentence you make, write it into the law, so that you can avoid strife. ”

Roland glanced at the old manager with interest, noncommittal.

In fact, the fact that he was able to notice the root causes behind the brawl already proves that Barov has a broader vision, which is clearly not something that the former assistant to the chancellor of the exchequer could have detected - he has also made great strides in his more than two years in power.

However, the limitations of the times remained in Barov's thinking, which believed that everything would be all right as long as the will was written into the law. But the law still had to be enforced by men, especially in a government system that eliminated the power of the local aristocracy and imposed centralized power. After all, the greater the power, the greater the pot to bear, and if the law conflicts with the demands of the majority, the hidden dangers will explode sooner or later, and it will not be easy to deal with it at that time.

"What about you?" Roland looked at the scroll.

"Your Majesty, I have some different opinions, the people in Neverwinter come from all over the Grey Keep, there will always be all kinds of contradictions, if one happens, forbid one, I'm afraid the law will become quite bloated. I would suggest that it would be better to direct them in the direction of what they are talking about, and to tell them clearly what is right and what is wrong, perhaps more appropriately than to ban them altogether. ”

There was a brief pause at this point, "As for the second point, I think you could ask Miss Agatha first. Tachira is home to many Awakened Ones, and they should be familiar with this situation. ”

Roland picked up the teacup and took a slow sip of tea.

Indeed, he prefers to use public opinion to control people's minds rather than a one-size-fits-all policy – a matter that does not involve ethnic or kingdom conflicts, and is much more refreshing than the intricacies of the nationalist awakening that later followed. It is not difficult to realize the propaganda that the entire Grey Keep and even the Four Kingdoms belong to the same kind of people, and this conflict is just the simplest regional contradiction, and there is no need to treat it as a typical serious one.

It is far better to write into the teaching materials the argument that everyone is the same kind of people, that the mutineers are only a small group with ulterior motives, and that the broad masses should not be held accountable for this, than to prohibit everyone from discussing this matter and increase the estrangement between various regions.

The difficulty lies in the relationship between ordinary people and witches.

He didn't want to make witches special, but the existence of witches is very special in itself, and there is a certain irreconcilability between the two, and it is undoubtedly a very long-term task to alleviate this contradiction as much as possible, and it is even possible to run through the future of all mankind. Since there is no way to solve it immediately, just follow what the book says, first refer to Tachira's practice, and then slowly adjust it.

Fortunately, the impact of this matter is very small, and the integration policy can be started in a more relaxed way.

Thinking of this, Roland ordered, "This matter should be dealt with as an ordinary brawl, the student who smashed the witch with a chair, compensated the medical expenses of the two, and verbally criticized, and the medical expenses of the injured in the sixth class will be taken care of by the Witch League, and the repair of the school will be handed over to the city hall, and the normal teaching of the academy will be resumed as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The two responded in unison.

"In addition, the follow-up preventive measures will be taken according to what the book says, and use public opinion to guide the people as much as possible, and I will list a draft of the specific content and hand it over to you to improve the implementation. Roland sighed, "By the way, the witch ......"

"Her name is Sharon, Your Majesty, do you want to see her?" the scroll asked.

"No, let her rest for a few days to calm down. If you can, ask Wendy to stay with her and tell her the basics of the Witch Alliance. ”

"I see. ”

After the two left, Roland immediately summoned Agatha and Phyllis into the office.

"Your Majesty, I happen to have something to talk to you about," Agatha said with a serious expression before she could sit down, "Something doesn't seem quite right with the witch awakening in Neverwinter. ”
