Is the kingdom of mages strong? The answer is yes, although it is rated as a superpower, everyone knows that he is not a country at all, but a gathering place of countless mages, not to mention the countless middle and low-level mages, only those who have obtained endless truth. The archmage of the emblem, if these top mages all act together...
Well, everyone knows that this is basically impossible. After all, each individual mage has his own needs, his own life goals and research topics. It is incredible to want them to act collectively for a certain goal like a country. This is also the reason why the kingdom of mages has been stuck here for so many years, they lack the necessity of expansion.
Expand territory and population? Stop being funny. There are only so many of us mages, and 90% of the population can be put down in one city. Whoever you expand is for, you have to ask people to grow food and maintain law and order.
Use the increased population to improve the country's mage base? No need, we never care about the so-called nationality, nor the so-called population base. As long as we are willing to abandon the boring life of mortals and choose the path of knowledge pursuit, we are our companions.
Permanently neutral country - Ain Rodant, it is not that this country remains neutral, but that most mages in this country, as a single individual, consciously choose neutrality, and this neutrality not only includes country-to-country wars, but also includes Eternal Holy War.
They lack goodwill towards the gods of order, but they are also full of disgust for the evil god of chaos. It can be said that they only believe in themselves and only pursue magic and truth. This is the existence that is most likely to become the third party of jihad.
Of course, since most of the mages were born human, it’s not wrong to belong to the order camp. When let them send troops to fight... Well, they don’t have soldiers. Anyway, those mages who are concerned and willing to go to war can go by themselves, and the collective action is enough. Forget it.
"This is our natural ally."
But as mentioned earlier, when the entire truth seminar is an academic unit that hates politics, alliances are basically meaningless, and a covenant that cannot be carried through to the end is like waste paper.
In history, there are many careerists who wanted to borrow the mighty power of the country of mages, but in the end they all failed. No matter how loud their slogans were, there were still very few people who responded.
But what I want to say is that their concepts are too outdated, and the usual conspiracy methods such as forming alliances, inciting the people, and collaborating with the superiors are meaningless to the abnormally disordered organizational structure of this country.
I personally still have some other opinions. We really cannot form an alliance with this too loose country. After all, even if we get the support of some truth controllers, the loose Mage organization and individuals will not buy it... But if you think about it from another angle , we can buy every individual, as long as we buy enough mages, it is equivalent to the whole country of mages standing on our side.
Sound incredible? How to buy too many individuals individually? But it can actually be done.
How to make a former neutral suddenly become your staunch supporter? The answer is simple, just keep his wallet full of your gold coins, or simply throw a valuable IOU in his hands, so that the different interests of the two of you become one.
So, how can two different forces and even two countries come together? In fact, there is no difference in the answer. As long as their interests are shared, it is enough. For example, if they use one currency and one language, there will be zero tariffs between the two parties. Together.
In the history books of a certain world, many countries turned two countries into one country in this way, and a certain emperor of the ages also used unified "coins" and local dialects as the cornerstone of the real unity.
Well, speaking of this method has come out, as long as two conditions are met, you can buy everyone. First, let everyone share the interests of you, and second, let them become your customers and friends. , and even creditors, if they achieve these two, when they feel that they will lose money if they don’t support you, they will naturally be on the boat of thieves.
Originally, I just planned a little and then reluctantly gave up. After all, the capital and financial resources required were astronomical, but a recent unexpected event made the madness of buying "all the wizards in the whole country of wizards". possibility to be realized.
"Justice Points, our top product, can only be bought and sold by Justice Points. And this is just the beginning. Our ultimate goal is to use Justice Points as the most important currency unit in the country of mages."
I have self-confidence, years of accumulation and many forces behind me, my goods and treasure troves are enough to drive mages crazy, but this is just the beginning.
According to my plan, there will be more and more shops that settle with justice points in the future. The most important goal is still to let the vast majority of the entire country of mages recognize the most valuable hard currency with justice points, and take the initiative to participate in earning justice. Points come in action.
In this way, we will naturally have countless powerful "contract warriors". If there are an astonishing number of mages chasing justice points in World War II, the entire country of mages will gradually become our allies.
Of course, in order to achieve this goal, countless steps and tricks are required, such as how to make justice points recognized as the official currency, how to make many shops and mages use this currency, and how to make major mages sit and watch this change happen. , but I have the patience and confidence to take it slow.
"Neutrality? Soon, you will find that in this war, there is no neutrality at all. This time, I will never repeat the same mistakes."
The country of mages in "history" is not weaker than the country of mages now, but in the face of the changes of the whole world and the land where life has been devastated, they still choose to ignore the unfolding of this holy war and record everything as a bystander. .
Neutral as always, no, it is no longer acceptable to describe it as neutral. Pride, sluggishness, and indifference. In the past, they were able to ignore the cataclysmic wars that swept the entire earth several times, including the Eternal Night Disaster. This time, they naturally also You can watch everything happen.
Even if they were beaten to death outside, they still chose to live as usual in the Tower of Clouds, discussing the latest technological inventions and the increasingly cold bad weather, but when this war really swept the whole world, when they It was already too late to take action when he realized that he had been caught in the situation long ago.
In fact, in that period of "history", it was not that there was no warning from the keen mages, and that there was no surveillance war of the other planes that raised the strange cluster trends of the creatures of the other planes, but the organizers of the various mages have long since learned from the past history. And the literature concluded that it was nothing more than another race war that lasted two or three hundred years, and it was enough to leave it alone.
The arrogant mage finally tasted the bitter fruit. When Ai Luosi Dante finally had a wrong situation and issued a mobilization order for all the mage, the entire continent has experienced countless wars, and countless different plane powerhouses have come. The river Styx is already full of the souls of the dead, the demigods raised a wine glass full of blood in the doomsday, and demons and devils formed an army under the leadership of the evil gods. What can the "powerful" mages do? .
"...Sometimes, neutrality seems to be the right choice, but it is also the most passive choice, the farthest choice from the right."
Although I don't want to admit it, but in a sense, the conflict between the Bayer Empire and the country of mages is indeed a good thing. At least he told these mages living in high ivory towers that there is no place for complete peace in this world. Even if you stay at home, a robber might suddenly break in and slap you.
I sincerely look forward to the seminar for more than a month, what decisions will the archmages who return from the front make, and the sudden attack of the forbidden spell, this is not the usual tradition of the country of mages, how do I feel very Some are sudden and incomprehensible, and there must be some interesting things in it that haven't been revealed.
And what I want to do now is similar forced awakening. The mystery of "justice points" and magic is the bait, involving them, and as long as they enter the game, there are enough bases to feed back enough information, when that means The signs of destruction and chaos were placed on the conference table at the truth seminar. With the wisdom of this profession, how could I not find the problem, and then I would naturally have more allies.
Is it hard to get them in? Does the mage have no desire? How is it possible, I have always thought that the seemingly calm mage is actually the best seduction profession.
"Greed" Heloise is the most typical mage. Her endless greed for magical mysteries is the silhouette of this profession. Soon, in the new issue of "Cloud Weekly", in addition to the introduction of our Garden of Thorns and new products , added a list of exchange of justice points, which originated from the mysteries of ancient times and the gods, but were treasures that could not be obtained by any means.
There is nothing that attracts the curiosity and greed of mages more than "unknown", and it will definitely make many people act immediately.
To lead the way, let the entire country of mages be alert and act in advance, this is the ultimate goal.
But you have to eat one bite at a time. There is no need to worry about this kind of conspiracy that is completely placed in the sun. To pull the kingdom of mages into this trouble, let’s start with how to make this “garden of thorns” bigger. .
The consumer market for plant magic and its products is limited. If you want to attract the attention of the entire Tower of Clouds, it is not enough to just rely on Amyra's foundation. The new products are ready, and I can also make a fortune.
"Mechanized mage troops? This style of painting is a bit wrong."
…
Archmage Andri was very upset. As the vice-chairman of Sword of Order, it was his duty to tame the strongest magic pet. He had been away from his lovely laboratory for too long, those clumsy apprentices dared not approach the cages of the babies, and maybe two of his pets starved to death.
"I always feel that my baby is being threatened more than starvation. Strange, is there any danger in the Tower of Clouds?"
But looking at the wind, sand and smoke in front of him, and the constant howling of dragons in the distance, he knew that this was not the time to think about it.
The forbidden spell turned this area into a living hell in the lava zone. The Bayer dragon knights who were determined to take revenge had already come to two teams, and the raid of the twelve dragon knights was very difficult to guard against.
But in fact, this is not a big problem. After all, there are four truth controllers here. If they join forces and force the dragon knights of the Bayer Empire to fight head-on, I am afraid the problem will be solved soon.
But the two sides are at an impasse, apparently for another reason.
The archmage of Ainro didn't want to continue to escalate the war, let alone offend the dragon family behind the dragon knights by killing the dragon, and the recent actions of the dragon knights of Baier are also very strange.
Their patrols and raids are still the same, but they lack aggression. The largest scale of breathing is a dragon's breath, lighting up a few houses. As a party committed to revenge, this is obviously too gentle.
"It feels like there is some constraint, and there is no plan to escalate the war in an all-round way. I don't understand."
But soon, he didn't have to worry anymore, a letter from the Tower of the Clouds came.
