Gold coin is justice

"Actually, if you think about it, you can understand that this is a very simple truth. Hmm... Simply put, now our element machine in Pelican Town, according to your design, can provide us with such a large magic crystal. The town has been illuminated at night for a year. The only thing we need until next year is to buy another magic crystal."

"Think about it from another angle. If our town is like it is now, we need a Bright Master to light up every elemental lamp every night, and it will last for a year, rain or shine, without any rest. How much money will it cost? What?"

Tesla was dumbfounded, and even Napa next to him was silent now.

Ai Luo smiled and said: "If someone entrusts our guild to let Margaux go to light the lamp for a year, then I am afraid that it won't come without one or two thousand gold coins. And the price may need to rise in the next year, so it won't It may be a problem that can be solved by buying a piece of magic crystal."

"So here, the contradiction between the elemental machine and the magician has appeared."

"Before the appearance of the elemental machine, magic power was something that was only allowed to be used by a few people who were selected by the heavens. For most ordinary people like me, the magician was a very noble and mysterious existence. Because of the noble And mysterious, because these magicians can use some power that we ordinary people can't use at all, so we respect them and even worship them. In terms of economics, we will also work hard to fulfill the expectations of these magicians."

"Just like the elemental lamp I just said, if the night in our town is too dark and we want light, then apart from making more fires, we can only ask those magicians to give us light. The magicians just Will get our reward, and at the same time will have an outstanding social status."

"But in other words, if we have elemental machines, then we don’t need to invite these magicians, and there is no need to give them money. These magicians will be cut off part of their income. And they can do it. The things we ordinary people can do by using the element machine, then the status of the magician in our minds will gradually decrease. Finally, we will treat the magician like an ordinary person, neither respect nor disdain."

"So, if the elemental machines are really successfully expanded, so that every ordinary person of us can gain power comparable to magicians and even surpass those magicians by operating these machines... This also means those magicians The end of it-here it is."

At this point, Airo paused for a while.He gave Napa and Tesla a little time to think carefully. After the two thoughts finally turned, he smiled faintly and said: "Now, the two understand why the Royal Society is so desperate to prevent the development of the element machine. Yet?"

After listening to the whole process, Napa's ears fell involuntarily.The cat shook his head helplessly and said, "Money, interests, power, social status...you humans really can't deviate from these things no matter what you do. Even magicians can't avoid them."

Aloha laughed and said, "What is exemption? In my opinion, this is really normal. If you have powerful power but cannot bring you a lot of benefits, then these powers are equivalent to waste. In the war years, The income of magicians has doubled. In peace times, the income of magicians will never be as low as that. This is a normal phenomenon."

Napa snorted, turned her head to look at Ai Luo, and continued: "Well, even if you are right, but they are too impatient? Elemental machine looks unstable, saying that this kind of thing can be Contend with the now mature magic system? It's a bit too exaggerated."

Airo squeezed his chin for a while and said, "No, I think there are not many smart people in the Royal Society. Once something develops that may threaten your status, then immediately kill it in the bud. in."

Napa shook his head: "I still can't believe it. If it's really as you said, the development of elemental machines is likely to replace the status of magician, then this will be an epoch-making reform! It will also make this country The country’s national power has rapidly increased! After all, this represents a mature element machine that can turn every ordinary person into a magician. Why do you think the leader will reject something that is beneficial to the country?"

Ai Luo laughed at this, he kept waving his hands as if he had heard something very funny.After a long time, the president finally stopped his laughter, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Napa, you really underestimate our human beings. How can people with vested interests take advantage of the overall situation? Sacrificing that small part of your own interests?"

"In this world, those who have mastered power, status, and wealth are most afraid of not the stagnation of social progress, but the huge changes in society. Because this change is very likely to give them the advantage they currently occupy. Nothing exists in an instant!"

"So once you encounter this phenomenon that may produce change, even if it is really beneficial to the country, the people, and the society, the vested interests will do their best to use all the resources in their hands to suppress it. ."

"As long as you can ensure that these interests in your hands will not be divided, even if the interests are small and small, they are only so small that you can eat one more bite of meat and drink more than others every month. , Then it doesn’t matter if everyone can only use stones and wooden sticks and wear animal skins to hunt beasts in the jungle. So, if I’m not mistaken... the last time the element machine exploded. Human incidents are the result of suppression."

Hearing the current Tesla suddenly became anxious: "President Airo! Do you mean that the elemental machine explosion in our guild was deliberately made by the people of the Wizards Association? They even killed someone for it. ?!"

Ai Luo quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you understand a little bit beyond what I said. I don’t know exactly what happened to the elemental machine explosion, but one thing I’m sure about is this explosion. After a few months, there was still no intention of cooling down. Instead, the spread of public opinion became wider and wider, and the description of the element machine became more and more terrifying. There is no doubt that this is the result that the Royal Society hopes to see most. So, these unfavorable publicity for your guild undoubtedly come from the Royal Society, and there should be no problem with this."

Tesla, who just seemed to want to fight back, heard this, and immediately sat back down in his chair like a frustrated ball again.

After the installer sat back, Napa suddenly asked, "So? Why are you so bold?"

Ai Luo was taken aback for a moment: "Bold? What is bold?"

Napa ignored this guy's pretense, and continued to hum and said: "Since I know this matter is strongly opposed by the upper class, and it is very likely to lead to the invention of the Blue Bay Empire's society to change. More importantly, , This thing has been clearly listed as a thorn in the flesh, and it has also been banned by the Royal Wizards’ Association through the enactment of laws. In this case, you still support this guy to continue research and development on the element machine? This is really not Like your style."

Ai Luo always said these things with a smile on his face.Although the topics discussed just now are very realistic, his performance seems to have nothing to do with him at all, just talking about some interesting gossip news.

But now, Ai Luo, who was directly exposed by Napa, gradually solidified the smile on his face.

He no longer faced this monster, but with a slightly stubborn smile, he silently looked at the account book in his hand, thinking as if he was trying to figure out his own thoughts.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to Tesla next to him: "So, do you have the confidence to make a better elemental lamp?"

Tesla was taken aback for a moment. It seemed that he couldn't understand what the president meant. He hesitated and said, "I will work hard to make...this. But? President Airo, is this really okay? Me. I thought it was our guild’s elemental plane that killed a nobleman, so I encountered it now, but now it sounds like this problem is much more serious than the death of a nobleman! You really... continue. Support us?"

Ai Luo took a long breath, as if he had made a very stubborn decision, and said slowly: "As long as you can persist, then I will support your guild within my ability. The only one is now. The question is, can you do it? If you can, then do it to me, and I will help you settle the next thing. If it can’t, then all the support I just said is invalidated."

Facing Airo's serious eyes now, he also looked at the meaningful smile on the corner of the president's mouth now.After a long time, Tesla couldn't help but squeezed his fist slightly and nodded: "I...understand. I can do it."

"well."

Ai Luo reached out and patted this guy on the shoulder--

"Now, go to bed and put me in research work immediately after I wake up tomorrow. I need to see your research results in the last three days. In addition, you'd better also help me take the instability factors of the element machine Get it done! Go!"
