Chapter 3188 Inevitable Inference Leading the Trend

There is also a classic saying in Chateau's hometown, which is called "As long as the profit is high enough, capitalists dare to sell the rope to hang themselves."

In fact, Evereska has been gradually loosening the restrictions on magic learning, including allowing the society to recruit apprentices independently, allowing the introduction of Nese magic that can be faster than elf magic, and so on.

These decisions are all made by the so-called high-level elves. Don’t they know that these decisions will give the lower-level people power and squeeze their interests? Or even replace them one day?

Of course they know, but that's a longer-term matter. Relaxing restrictions will immediately bring more benefits, more benefits that they can't give up.

These include computing power pool subsidies, magic weapon exports, taxes, etc., which can be obtained immediately or within a short period of time, and can greatly improve Evereska's international competitiveness in the current Northland situation.

In this case, they actually have no choice but to make changes. Changes may have a negative impact on their rule in the future, and they can also obtain stable benefits. However, if they do not change, they will inevitably have a negative impact on their rule now and in the future. Influence.

As long as you cross the threshold in your heart, the choice is almost inevitable.

So Shado told Regante, "The rulers may not have such a long-term vision. As long as increasing the income of the bottom class or even directly popularizing magic can bring them huge short-term benefits, they will do it without hesitation.

"Just like Everesca recently relaxed the restrictions on the independent adoption of new ideas, it will be profitable in the short term, even if it will threaten the rule of some superiors in the long term, but they don't care, thinking that everything is under control, Or maybe there was a sense of luck, so we still made that decision. I believe Elder Regante, as a direct participant in the formulation of this policy, should have a deep understanding of this. "

Shado's words once again awakened Regante. He thought that when the Council of Elders decided to relax the restrictions on the society's independent adoption of new ideas, there was actually not much dispute. Almost all the elders unanimously approved it after a brief discussion.

Their thoughts at that time were just as Sha Duo said at the moment - they didn't care, thinking that everything was under control. Regante also held this view before, but now, he has a new understanding of this situation. understand.

Decisions like this, if repeated a few more times, may produce a qualitative change in the domestic situation in Everriska, and by then the situation may no longer be in the hands of the Council of Elders.

Perhaps then will be the spring that the Druids and other lower class people are looking forward to, but——

"At that time, where will we upper-class families go?"

"Who do you want to compare with? How? If we compare the total amount of resources you occupy and control now, no matter how you develop in the future, as long as you don't fall behind too far, there will always be more resources than you do now. But if we compare you If it now occupies and controls the proportion of Everesca’s total resources, then this proportion will undoubtedly decrease.”

In fact, it is a situation where the pie becomes bigger and the proportion of the pie becomes smaller. When the proportion of the upper-class family reaches a certain level, although the total amount of absolute resources at its disposal has increased, it will be difficult to occupy almost an absolute share like it does now. of the dominant ecological niche.

This situation can also be described in terms of the difference between tribal leaders and civilians in a big country. In most cases, rulers actually prefer to be civilians in a big country, except for those with extreme desire for power.

In this case, in a place like Earth where all lives are basically the same and truth has difficulty defeating power, many people are actually more willing to pursue power.

But in the magical world, there is so much to pursue. In addition to power itself, there is also the truth that can defeat power. In fact, the latter is the real power.

In the magical world, few people pursue power itself. It is more of an incidental possession. Even if the nominal power is given up, as long as the power is not lost, the actual power will not be weakened much.

Therefore, it is possible for upper-class families to allow ordinary people to rise, just like Evereska is doing now.

The upper-class family has reached the pinnacle of the main plane and is already the strongest among the strong. In this case, maintaining a stable ruling order is more important than power itself.

The so-called improvement of the status of the lower class actually only provides the lower class with a relatively fair opportunity to compete, but the actual situation is -

The fairer the rules, the more beneficial they are to the strong.

Of course, this is from the perspective of the upper-class families, but for the people at the bottom, they originally didn’t even have a chance to compete with relative citizens. Now that they do, is there anything better than this?

Yes, but we have to digest the benefits released by the upper-class family now.

As long as the underlying upward channel always exists, the variables will always exist, and it will always develop in a good direction. It is a relatively optimistic future for everyone.

From this perspective, we can actually conclude that the kingdom of freedom will inevitably come.

…

So, for almost the whole night, Shaduo chatted with Regante in the courtyard about Everesca's reform and development plan, and occasionally revealed some plans for the Great Xia Territory.

Until Larian, who couldn't bear it anymore, came to remind him of the time, Shado still had some unfinished thoughts. In fact, he wanted to share his thoughts with everyone in the main plane, but not everyone could understand him.

At the same time, we must also take into account the reaction of the mainstream and not go against the trend too much. However, he is actually doing things to lead the trend. In the distant past, he promoted the establishment of the Northland Alliance. More recently, he promoted the changes in Everesca and Evriska. Lan development plan and so on.

When the trickles of water converge into a mighty trend, that is his real stage.

…

Since Chateau and Regante had been talking for too long, the dinner could not go on as originally planned. In the end, under the kind invitation of Urban and Larian, Chateau and Regante stayed for a simple dinner.

Talking about Kalish during the dinner, Regante once again mentioned the opponent's performance of resurrection from the dead, and while he was doing it himself, he once again reminded Shado, Larian, and Urban——

"Be careful with Kalish, this kind of existence is too dangerous!"

"Resurrection from the dead? Immortality?" Upon hearing the news, Larian couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He subconsciously said, "Is it because of this that Erlan changed his attitude? What about Cormanthor?"

The crowned king of Elisir has always been a relatively special existence in the elf world. From ancient times to the present, he should be the longest reigning king in the elf world. So what does immortality mean to him?

No one answered Larian's soliloquy, but everyone had a vague answer in their minds. It would depend on how Cormanzo reacts next.
