Moriarty smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
To be honest, at this time of "opening up my mind", only the master of the salon at the peak of Level 12 dared to continue communicating with me on such a taboo topic.
"Mr. Davidson, we are aware of your ideas. They are indeed enlightening and even...somewhat shocking. Haha, please forgive me for using such possibly inappropriate words." Mrs. Dorothy said slowly, carefully considering her words.
"Don't worry about anything. You can speak frankly. I think this is also the original intention and purpose of your enthusiastic academic salon." Moriarty shook his head indifferently.
"Well, of course." The owner of the salon looked at the other party, organized his words, and then said:
"Suppose we don't consider whether the point of view just now is correct or not, but return to the practical level. Don't you think it is still impossible for necromancy to be recognized and recognized in the mortal world?"
"Yes, we 'Necromancers' and 'Elementalists' should be on equal footing, but after all, this world is still composed of thousands of lives and social groups. And these mortals are naturally indolent and short-sighted. They are obsessed with the dazzling elemental arcana.
There will be a natural awe, and this will generate some kind of admiration and worship; but for necromancy, because of disgust and fear of death itself, it will also abandon and hate everything that is similar, similar, and related to it.
"
"So, even if we really take negative energy as the fundamental guideline and build an unworldly foundation to stand on the big world, when we return to the secular world, we still can't compete with the 'Elemental Sect' or even those fanatical religious elements. Isn't this right?
A great irony and sadness?"
As the statement continued, Mrs. Dorothy's ideas became clearer and her words became sharper, directly bypassing the purely theoretical category. Instead, she started from the specific perspectives of "acceptance by the world" and "whether it is tolerated by the world."
, asking Moriarty how the "Necromancer" can successfully compete with the "Elemental".
Otherwise, no matter how solid the foundation of necromancy is, it cannot get the support and response of the world's mainstream, which means that it cannot get the support of the world's resources. Then the "necromancy sect" will still be isolated. It will not be the same as the current one in Dejia.
There is no essential difference.
When they heard the salon owner ask such a sharp rhetorical question, other participants were also shocked for a while, and then they all expressed admiration.
This is the real research everyone!
From theory to practice, everything is kept in mind. What’s more, the thinking is thorough and rigorous, and the response is quick, which is admirable.
At this thought, everyone turned their attention back to Moriarty. They wanted to see if the other party would have some shocking new point of view on such a sharp question.
After just lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Moriarty raised his head again and looked at the owner of the salon: "Dear Mrs. Dorothy, the question you raised is very practical, and it is what restricts the real development of the 'Necromancer Sect'.
A thousand-year problem. However, from what I think, there is actually a solution to this problem. In other words, I, the Necromancer Sect, have never deeply explored its own unique advantages and demonstrated them. This is why
The Elementalists specialize in beauty, but it seems that necromancy is not tolerated by the world."
"What!? You mean we did something wrong ourselves!?"
I really didn't expect that the other party would give such an answer and conclusion. Both Mrs. Dorothy and the other necromancers were all shocked.
"No, it's not a mistake, but it's really not enough." However, Moriarty's reaction was still calm and nonchalant, not saying right or wrong. He only said "not enough."
"Then according to your opinion, what should we do to regain the 'thousand-year disadvantage'?" At this time, another undead warlock stood up from his position and asked seriously.
"How to do it? In fact, I have already talked about exploring the unique advantages of my 'Necromancer Sect'."
“Our unique advantage?”
"what is that?"
"The power of the 'Elemental Sect' lies in creation, control and energy destruction. Our necromancy is fundamentally different. People in the world will only be afraid of us when they see us, and few will get close to us."
Hearing Moriarty once again emphatically mention the word "advantage", everyone couldn't help but frown again, and then put forward their own views and opinions one after another.
"No, these are not yet." In response to everyone's speech, Moriarty just smiled and shook his head slightly.
"Mr. Davidson, please tell me your point of view. We are all very curious." She waved her hand gently to stop the comments of others, and Mrs. Dorothy said directly.
"Okay." Moriarty nodded and began to give his own answer:
"We always say that the world is afraid of us because of stupidity and ignorance. This is actually correct and true. It is precisely because of the disgust and timidity of inherent death that they are afraid of everything related to death, including
Images, sounds, tastes, and even associations. Therefore, necromancy, which is often associated with death and the undead, has also become the target of their fear and rejection. Mrs. Dorothy has also mentioned this just now."
"However, everything has two sides to the same coin. When fear is caused by ignorance or stupidity, greed and greed will also appear together!"
"What is greed? What kind? Yes, it is greed for life and longevity!"
"Mortals are afraid of death. On the other hand, they want to prolong their lives at all costs. Even if they know that there is an end to this kind of life and there is no way to escape it. Even if it is just to extend their lives for a day, an hour, or even a moment, the world will
I will do my best to do it without any hesitation.”
"But in this world, ordinary life is always fragile and delicate. Taking the Antagrich continent as an example, even the nobles of the human kingdom, even Junkers in Behemoth, in the course of their lives
We are often troubled by illness or injury. Sometimes, just a small and inadvertent problem can cause life to pass by silently."
"And this is actually the biggest opportunity for the 'Necromancer Sect' to gain secular power and be tolerated by all ethnic groups in the world."
"Yes, necromancy is indeed a bit shocking from the outside, and there are many necromancy techniques that can directly bring about horrific deaths. But please don't forget that in addition to these, there are many necromancy techniques in the field of life exploration, flesh and body.
The fields of anatomy, virus research, and trunk and organ grafting have theoretical advancements and practical capabilities that are unmatched by any other magic or divine arts."
"That is to say, if we temporarily put aside our pride, remove some special necromancy techniques from the dead souls themselves, slightly improve them and put them into secular life, then we will be able to create countless so-called medical miracles."
"Can you imagine, when something that can prolong life appears in front of an old and dying noble? When the possibility of recovering a severed limb appears in front of a seriously injured general? When many diseases that doctors or witch doctors are helpless can pass through the undead.
When the magic is completely restored, will the world still object? Can it still reject us? Will it still dare to stay away from us?"
"So, the 'Necromancer Sect' has no chance in the mortal world. It all depends on how we do it!"
When Moriarty ended with a loud and generous statement, there was only silence in the salon.
Everyone, including Mrs. Dorothy, stared at the "newcomer" in front of them with dumbfounded eyes, and their ears were filled with the echoes of the seemingly simple and truly penetrating narrative just now.
Yes, necromancy can kill people, and it has unlimited potential to save people.
In this world, no one can understand the many essences and principles of life, aging, illness and death better than the necromancers. There is no one who knows better than the necromancers how a piece of tissue, a nerve, or a group of organs work and maintain.
Therefore, as long as the necromancers are willing, they do have sufficient theoretical basis and practical ability to improve some necromancy techniques that originally seemed to only kill people into life-saving techniques that can save people. This is not very difficult, but no one has ever really done so.
I have thought about it, but no one has suggested doing it.
But now, in this seemingly ordinary and casual salon, a point of view that may change the entire Dejia Alliance has been put forward, and it is so simple, easy to implement, and self-consistent. This is really unacceptable.
It's almost unbelievable if you don't marvel to the end.
"Sir Davidson...have you ever mentioned this point of view to others before?"
Finally, after a long silence, Madam Dorothy suddenly moved towards a point in the mage tower, completely blocking the passage in and out, and asked Moriarty at the same time.
"No, not yet."
When the other necromancers saw the owner of the salon suddenly making such an unexpected move, they couldn't help but be shocked. They couldn't help but feel secretly on guard, wondering what Mrs. Dorothy was going to do.
Moriarty, however, still looked calm and answered with a smile.
"Very good." Mrs. Dorothy nodded, then looked at the other participants, and smiled apologetically: "Because the series of points raised by Lord Davidson are really... important, I have closed the Mage Tower and please stay here for the time being.
.At the same time, I also sent an urgent report to Minister Hejal of the "Bottomless Fountain" about the discussions just now, and also sent a copy to Mr. Davison's teacher, Mr. Negusta. Now, let us wait for a while.
Feedback and opinions from senior management. Of course, during this period, we can also carry out the scheduled trade fairs first. What do you think?"
"Um...of course."
"I completely understand your approach, Mrs. Dorothy."
"Okay, I'm also looking forward to the trade fair after the salon."
After listening to Mrs. Dorothy's explanation, the participants looked at each other again and breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they more or less know that the owner of the salon in front of them also has other important responsibilities in the alliance and the "Bottomless Fountain". For an academic theory that is almost epoch-making like today, it also involves the relationship with the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
Regarding various relationships with the secular world, it is indeed necessary to report to the alliance officials first and determine whether such theories can be opened up. Otherwise, if the alliance deems it necessary to keep it secret, everyone present today will be issued a gag order.
Some memories may even be forcibly erased.
Looking at Mrs. Dorothy, who seemed to be the official representative of the alliance, Moriarty couldn't help but smile again. (To be continued...)
