Lesson 35 Continuity, The Importance of Connection
Lynn told Ilywia about her life in her tower.
Illyweer should also be familiar with the college, so we talked in detail about the nest of dove rats, which is mainly suitable for living in factories and in the city of Renlil and a residence.
She nodded and listened intriguingly to Lynn's story, pinching questions at the essentials.
Even Lynn had a fever for the way she spoke and she rapped naturally because she listened enthusiastically.
"... and here's the thing"
"Well, then you, aren't you just studying or working every day"
"Yeah, well, you will."
"You shouldn't. We need to play more."
Lynn smiled bitterly. I didn't think Illyweer would say the same thing about Yuven.
"But the factory is pretty fun, too. Of course I have a norm because it's my job, but that's also like a game, depending on how you think. Some friends work with you, too. It's part of the class to be walking in the woods with Mr. Illyweer right now, but I'm having fun."
"I said I did it... Lynn, don't you have anything you want to try?
"What do you want to try...?
Lynn thought about it for a second. I don't know what I want to try.
"That's a difficult question. I never thought about it."
Illyweer looked a little sad.
"However, it is fun to participate in Magrilheim's activities in this way. It seems to be on an unknown adventure, and I feel like I've brought it just a little closer to the Mage. Most importantly, I enjoy talking to Mr. Ilyweer."
Lynn said hastily to cheer her up. Illyweer smiled at me once.
"On the contrary, is there anything Mr. Illyweer would like to try? After all, it's enough to be in Magrillheim, so don't you have high aspirations as some kind of magician?"
She laughs like trouble.
"Actually, I'm already wondering if I should get out of Magrilheim."
"What? Why not?
"The people here are kind of a bummer about the norm, aren't they? I like to make it my pace."
"Really? It's going pretty fast in the woods."
"No, there's nothing wrong with it enough to get in the back of the woods. Rather, it's enough to let me in sooner and deeper by myself. I just can't be very free with a lot of rules. I was enthusiastically invited, and I was advised by my surroundings to stay in once, but if you graduate, you've decided to belong to an guild that contains a lot of Wizard Instructors from the Kingdom of Wingard. Even if I belong here any longer, it doesn't do me any good."
"Really..."
Now it was Lynn's turn to darken her face.
Lynn wanted to talk more with her and learn a lot.
If she quits Magrillheim, she'll lose one contact with herself.
The opportunity to meet her will be lost forever.
"But it's fun to walk with Lynn like this,"
Illyweer chuckled when she said so. When Lynn was done talking, the next thing I know, Illyweer taught me about the aristocratic direction of life against Lynn.
Illyweer told me. Life with a servant in court, royal work, life in a luxury residential neighborhood in Alfrid, assignments by a master, and parties, including a tea party.
"The tea party is good. I'd like to go, too."
"Would you like to go?
Illyweer makes his face shine.
"Yeah, my classmate's aristocratic girl always brags about the tea party, so she wanted to go see what it was like once and for all."
"That's right. You still want to play when you're about your age."
"No, you don't. I never want to go to a tea party on the road."
"Really? So what are you attending a tea party for?
"It's for the connection."
Illyweer makes his face a kyoton because a word came out of his mouth that was not appropriate for that age.
"Connection......?
"Yeah, that's right. I want connections to succeed as a magician."
Lynn has been thinking about it ever since she heard about the connection from Yuven before. And I was putting my thoughts together myself.
Lynn wanted to take this opportunity to show Illyweer her thoughts.
(Let's talk to Mr. Illyweer. You'd be surprised if you found it hard for me to talk about, too)
He had this place. I mean, there's something about stretching out and trying to look good in front of a beautiful older woman. Especially since Illyweer listens to Lynn about everything enthusiastically, and positively, he was never more distracted.
"Why? If you want to be a magician, isn't mastering magic a prerequisite?
"Connection is important in order to become a magician. Let me tell you what I think."
Lynn was in a rough mood.
"Hmm. Please"
Illyweer tells me to get in tune.
"Human society has an upward and downward relationship. Slaves and nobles, subordinates and superiors, government and the people. And in general, those who are located more in the upper echelons can exert more influence, while those who are located in the lower echelons rely on influential people to resolve what they cannot do on their own. And in return, the upper echelons demand servants and taxes from the lower echelons."
"Hmm."
"That is how those located in the upper echelons move forward with greater accumulation of wealth, and the disparity with those in the lower echelons widens even further. People at higher levels can also use their wealth to connect with more people, making it easier to get a lot of stuff, information, and even new jobs and opportunities. In this way, there is a difference between people in the upper and lower levels in the number of opportunities and opportunities to visit, and it becomes more and more widespread. The bigger society, organization, and state, and the more people come together, the more pronounced this trend becomes. It doesn't change in the tower of this giant magic facility, this tower of magicians, where so many magicians gather."
"I see."
"Hierarchy and class disparities are inevitable in operating a huge organization efficiently. This is the fate of a human being who cannot exert great power without working with others. But I don't find that sad."
He vented.
I was no longer obsessed with talking about my thoughts without your concern, such as Ilyweer's reaction.
"Certainly there is an unbridgeable disparity between the upper and lower classes in the number of chances they will come around. But no one in the upper echelons can take advantage of all their chances. They only have one body, too. It's not enough to have as many bodies as it takes to jump on every chance."
"You're right."
"That's where the connection is important. If even those located in the lower level have connections with the upper level, they will have the opportunity to have their irresistible work divided. There may be unexpected opportunities and yummy money making stories in that job that even upscale aristocrats haven't noticed. And by doing so, we can connect even more closely with the upper classes, and we can do it the next time. By doing this, even people as small as me can do great work."
"I see. So you want connections."
"Exactly. It is never for a title or a grace that I want to connect with a nobleman. Of course I've never been beyond that, but what I really want is a job to be a good magician. That's why I'd like to attend a noble tea party once to see their world. You may find something useful in making your career as a future magician. So..."
"Hehe."
Illyweer puts her hand on her mouth and laughs elegantly couscous.
"What's wrong?
"No. Lynn. You're funny."
Lynn blushed and leaned down.
Although I developed a grand argument in this way to distract Illyweer, when it comes to being praised, I get embarrassed because I feel like I'm spreading a big bath that doesn't fit my length.
Would she have thought of herself as a child without public knowledge?
"It's for sale. Until my friends told me exactly what they told me."
"Oh, really? But I think it's a great theory. I learned a lot."
Illyweer claps with a patsy hand. She was like a teacher praising well-done students. Lynn blushed more and more. Hi. I feel like I'm being treated like a child when I'm with her.
(That's crazy. This isn't supposed to happen)
I don't know if she's actually a child, but Lynn wanted her to see her as a man in public.
(You didn't say much. I can't believe I want to attend a noble tea party...... even though I never get invited anyway)
Lynn gets nagging and silent out of embarrassment. Illyweer looked at such a phosphorus trick in wonder.
By noon, Lynn and Ilyweer had lunch. It was a simple meal for camping, but it was designed to store magic efficiently.
"And yet, you don't encounter warcraft at all"
"Well, that's right. In the Blue Area, if you go down the road, there will be no warcraft."
"Really?
"Yeah. If you want to encounter a warcraft, you have to go into the bush. Hmm, right."
Illyweer put his hand on his mouth and did a little thinking trick.
"It must be about time you got used to walking, too. Is it time to go into the bush?
