Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1013 Two major problems are aimed at dealing with
The second round was still in the magnificent hall before, but the surrounding light became brighter, and the number of advisors under the throne also changed, two more than before.

"Wang, after the promulgation of the relevant bill on exempting druids from compulsory military service, the public responded enthusiastically, and some plantations have resumed operation, but the mage community has quite a few complaints about this."

"Wang, the Advanced Magic Academy you initiated and established has won the support of many high-ranking mages, but there are also many who have clearly expressed their opposition."

"My lord, High Mage Taras is satisfied with your establishment of the High School of Magic. Now he has found out the whole story behind the sacrifice of the drow in the city of Iss, and relieved the panic of the people. You have also gained a great reputation because of this."

"My lord, the Mystery City on the border rejected the inland attachment of the surrounding towns and expelled them all. Some towns were attacked by orcs during the migration process and suffered heavy losses. Due to this incident, the development order you issued has been questioned by the people. .”

"Wang, after comprehensive rectification, the law and order in the capital has been greatly improved, but in the process, there have also been conflicts with many high-ranking families. Two of the investigators you appointed have disappeared."

……

Through the simple statements of these consultants and the specific information perceived from the surrounding environment, Xia Duo also has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the current situation of this virtual kingdom.

Especially after a round, issuing orders and getting feedback.

Generally speaking, in this virtual kingdom, there are only class contradictions between upper and lower levels, and there are no contradictions between different ethnic groups within the main plane like Comanthor.

I don't know if there was a problem with the history of the main plane thousands of years ago, or if it was the environment deliberately created during the reign of King Elithel.

Xia Duo thought about it carefully. In fact, the virtual kingdom in this trial may still be simplified. Although there are many problems, there are only two core problems——

One is the contradiction between the upper and lower classes, not only the low status of Druids, but also the contradiction that it is difficult for ordinary civilians to rise up, and it is difficult for ordinary mages to rise.

This can be seen from the fact that although the mage group is dissatisfied with the newly promulgated druid decree, they only complain rather than expressly oppose it. The magic academy has indeed played a big role.

Most of the high-level mages agree, which is not what Xia Duo expected. After all, he has reached the peak of power and strength, so thinking about problems naturally has to be considered in a long-term direction.

New high-level mages will not appear suddenly, they are also involved in the training, or this is giving them the opportunity to cultivate their wings.

Of course, things in the world cannot be completely satisfactory. Many high-ranking mages oppose it either out of "advanced magic is very harmful", or out of "protecting tradition", or simply "do not want others to be equal to themselves". .

But obviously, Xia Duo made the right bet. Although this is just a trial, it must also reflect the reality (of the projected plane). The attitude of those high-ranking mages.

Most of the high-level mages outside have experienced the drow war, so they naturally know the importance of training mages, especially high-level mages.

And this also corresponds to the second core issue in this virtual plane - the issue of development.

In addition to the development of magic, there is also the development of the territory and even the people's life. This is also one of the goals of the merger of the Ristar Forest countries to establish a unified Comanthor.

After understanding these, Xia Duo can issue targeted orders.

……

In the next few rounds, while reconciling domestic conflicts, Xia Duo actively explored the outside world.

Each round of the trial corresponds to the feedback of the mechanism behind the trial to the tester's order. The specific time depends on what order is issued.

If it is about daily government affairs handling disputes or something, the time flow will be very slow, but obviously, it may be okay to do this once or twice, and if there are too many, you will definitely be out of the game.

And if it is a major decision involving all aspects, then the time will be quickly moved backwards to show the consequences of such a decision.

As for Xia Duo, because many of his orders involved a wide range, the time in the virtual kingdom also passed quickly. In just a few rounds, 200 years passed.

During this period, the Academy of Magic achieved the most outstanding results. In addition to six more senior mages, a large number of talented elite mages also emerged.

In terms of reconciling conflicts, the druid skill competition held every ten years has brought the druid profession a lot of attention in the kingdom, and many small families no longer mind letting the second son or branch child of the family become a druid. Iraq.

As for the career paths for ordinary civilians, for the time being, the only options are opening up, joining the army, and becoming a mage.

Yes, even though druids possess extraordinary power and to a certain extent the food and lifeline of the country, they are still considered civilians.

This is already a promoted status. Putting it before, it is a plantation worker to put it nicely, or a slave to put it badly.

As for resistance, there is almost no other way except to strike them. As long as a priest comes forward, they can easily deprive them of their power.

Because of this, Xia Duo pays more attention to Atwood on the main plane territory. Once he can become a real natural druid, not to mention clearing up the heresy in Netheril, he can even be sold back to the elves go.

In fact, if it were on the main plane, Xia Duo would choose to popularize education and adjust the industrial structure so that the common people can gain access to advancement, but here——

He had no doubt that if he dared to issue such an order, the trial would definitely fail.

Even the former high magic academy only recruited noble children. Of course, there are no nominal nobles among the elves, and the same is true for Netheril on the main plane.

But this does not mean that there are no de facto nobles, such as the Nether Lord and the Grand Arcanist, and in the elven society, the nobility is also reflected in the possession of the means of production.

Specific to this virtual kingdom in the trial, nobles must at least have their own plantations and be able to be self-sufficient in food.

The state does feed the commoners, but this is considered unseemly, and the first step in breaking away from the commoners is to acquire their own land.

Basically, there are only three ways to open up to the outside world, join the army, and become a mage.

Becoming a druid can improve life, but it doesn't help much with class advancement.

……

Xia Duo did not make any fundamental changes to the elf society, but only fine-tuned it from the perspective of modern people, so that it can develop better and faster.

This does not conflict with his purpose of verifying the assumptions related to magic civilization. For magic civilization, he almost relies on imagination, so how can he forcefully add some existing cognition?
On the contrary, this gradual development process and the various problems in the process are more worthy of his attention, so that he can return to the main plane for reference.

If he wants to force a set of standards or theories, Xia Duo can guarantee that he will fail the trial within a few rounds.

Failure is not terrible. If it's a big deal, you can return to the main plane, but in doing so, you will lose a rare opportunity to have many high-ranking mages help you deduce the progress of civilization.
