"Your Majesty, the results of the accident treatment have been counted," Barov and Scroll walked into Roland's office together.
"Oh?" Roland asked with concern, "How is the situation?"
"Fortunately, no one died of serious injuries because of this," the chief of the city hall gave him a sigh of relief. "Three broken bones, all of which fell accidentally while escaping; two people lost their hearing, which should have been caused by the explosion; One other person suffered burns, but all have recovered after being treated by Miss Nana."
"The teachers who were taking a lunch break in the lounge at that time immediately organized an evacuation after hearing the loud noise. Filin Hilt claimed that the First Army was exercising, simulating the enemy's raid on the academy, and asked the students to cooperate and not panic. This statement kept order on the scene. Except for the sixth class, who witnessed the awakening of the witches." Scroll added, "So the fractured and deaf patients are all students in the same class."
"As expected of the dawn," Roland couldn't help but praised, taking advantage of the great prestige of the First Army in Neverwinter City, which not only facilitated the control of order, but also reduced panic. In this way, the impact is minimized, and as long as the aftermath is properly remedied, most people will not realize that the witch awakening is actually a very dangerous process.
Of course, it is also crucial that the Awakeners control their abilities within a very small range. The huge explosion sound comes from the electric current penetrating the air, which is caused by the arc path formed by the metal latch on the window. It is the same as the principle of thunder. It sounds earth-shattering, but the danger is not very strong.
As for putting out the fire, it was Agatha's forte. When she arrived at the scene, it took only a few minutes to freeze the fire source, saving the main teaching building. Although Roland was already considering whether to replace these buildings with brick-concrete structures, to avoid similar incidents from happening again.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to handle this matter?" Barov asked.
"Do you have any ideas?" Roland knocked on the table without answering directly.
"I think it should be divided into two things." The manager pondered for a moment, "The fight between children is not the key, it is mainly about the conflict behind it. According to the current understanding, one side of the conflict is from the south, and the other is from The East Territory, the reason is also caused by the dispute over whether the East Territory is the hometown of the betrayal king. You know, the territory of Tifeko happens to be the Golden Spike City in the East Territory, and it has not surrendered to you so far. So..." He paused. , withholding the second half of the words, probably because he didn't want to talk too much about the royal struggle. "In short, if it wasn't for the adults to declare behind their backs, the children were unlikely to know about these things. Strictly punish the parents of the parties who initiated the conflict, and explicitly announced that discussions were prohibited. By betraying the king, this kind of conflict can be put to an end.”
"Well... you go on."
"The second point is that the awakening of witches may cause harm to the public. My suggestion is that no matter what sentence you make, write it into the law, which can effectively avoid disputes."
Roland glanced at the boss with great interest, noncommittal.
In fact, being able to notice the root cause behind the fight has proved that Barov has a broader vision, which is obviously not something that the former assistant to the finance minister could have noticed. There has been considerable progress.
However, the limitations of the times still remain in Barov's thinking, and he believes that as long as the will is written into the law, everything will be fine. But the law still had to be enforced by humans, especially in a centralized regime that eliminated local aristocratic power. After all, the greater the power, the greater the burden to bear. If the law conflicts with the demands of the majority, the hidden dangers will erupt 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. Nowadays, the residents in Neverwinter City come from all over Greycastle, and there will always be various contradictions. If one of them is forbidden, the law may become quite bloated. I would suggest that it might be more appropriate to direct their conversations and tell them clearly what is right and what is wrong, rather than banning them altogether."
The scroll paused for a while, "As for the second point, I think you can ask Miss Agatha's opinion first. Taquila has many awakened people, and they should be very familiar with this situation. ."
Roland picked up the teacup and took a slow sip of tea.
Indeed, rather than a one-size-fits-all policy, he prefers to use public opinion to control people's hearts. This matter does not involve ethnic or kingdom conflicts, and it is much cleaner than the complicated situation caused by the awakening of nationalism in later generations. The propaganda argument that the entire Graycastle and even the four major kingdoms belong to the same type of people is not difficult to achieve. This conflict is just the simplest regional conflict, and there is absolutely no need to treat it as a typical example.
It is far better to write into teaching materials that everyone is the same type of people, that the mutineers are just a handful of people with ulterior motives, and that the general public should not be held responsible for this.
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. There is a certain irreconcilability between the two. It is undoubtedly a very long-term task to alleviate this contradiction as much as possible, and it may even 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 Taquila's practice, and then adjust it slowly.
Fortunately, the impact of this matter is minimal, and a more relaxed approach can be used to start the development of the integration policy.
Thinking of this, Roland ordered, "Let's handle this matter as a normal fight. The student who smashed the witch with a chair will pay for the medical expenses of the two and verbally criticize them; the medical expenses for the sixth class of the injured will be covered by the Witch Union. , the repair of the school will be handed over to the city hall, and the normal teaching of the college will be resumed as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two responded in unison.
"In addition, the follow-up preventive measures, according to the book, use public opinion as much as possible to guide the people, and I will make a draft for you to improve the implementation of the specific content." Roland sighed, "Yes, then a witch..."
"Her name is Sharon, Your Majesty, do you want to see her?" Scroll asked.
"No, let her rest for a few days to calm down. If possible, ask Wendy to accompany her and tell her some basic information about the Witch League."
"I understand."
After the two left, Roland immediately recruited Agatha and Phyllis into the office.
"Your Majesty, I happen to have something I want to talk to you about," Agatha said with a serious expression before she sat down. "The awakening of the witches in Neverwinter seems to be a little off."
