Chapter 1937 Class solidification, racial oppression
Xia Duo felt that he was getting closer to the truth, so he took the time to continue asking: "Who originally initiated Resolution 10453? What was the reason? Why did it take four hundred years to be officially passed?"
For ordinary elves, this problem may be a bit out of the ordinary, but for a senior mage, it may not be that secretive.
This is indeed the case. After hearing such a question, the elf mage still looked very surprised, but he still gave his answer:
"The original initiator of Resolution 10453, I remember, was a certain high mage from Jelenstad. I can't remember who it was, but later on, this issue would be raised again almost every few years. The person who raised it was
The background involves Jelenstad, Sharven, Yeerland, Sluvend and many other countries.
"As for the reason, it's actually very simple. A prophet made a prediction about arcanists. He predicted that the spread of the arcanist system would become the starting point of the decline of the elves.
"In addition, there is also the prejudice of traditional mages against arcanists, who believe that this system of magic is too rough and has tarnished the magic palace."
After listening to the elf mage's answer, Xia Duo felt that the truth was somewhat different from what he had guessed. He originally thought that the upper elf did not want the lower elf to gain (magic) power easily.
Unexpectedly, it also involves prophecies, and they are prophecies related to the rise and fall of races.
It is the prejudice of traditional mages. Although Xia Duo did not reflect it in his speculation, it actually exists by default. However, this is not the key. As long as the arcanist system shows sufficient superiority compared to traditional magic, there will naturally be
A large number of fans came to support it.
The current prejudices of traditional mages may in the future be nothing more than the inaudible wails of a minority hiding in a corner.
However, the existence of the prophecy interrupted the normal spread and development of the arcanist system, which made Sha Duo feel very regretful. It was a pity that he could not see the elf mages switching to the arcanist system one by one.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked again: "Is it necessary to completely ban a new magic system with full potential just because of an unproven prophecy?"
"I don't think it's necessary, and it's not just me. Many mages think it's unnecessary, but the decision above will not be made just because of our objections."
The elf mage seemed to have forgotten his identity as a prisoner at this moment, and began to confide his dissatisfaction with the higher-level rulers to Sha Duo.
However, Xia Duo would not trust the other party so easily. A senior mage would become a senior mage, and even a senior mage would respect him.
Furthermore, the top level is not a unified individual, but is composed of multiple elves with different opinions. The fact that Resolution 10453 can be delayed for 400 years is enough to prove this.
What Xia Duo really wanted was not some mindless words of approval, but a more comprehensive perspective on the matter, so he asked the other party again:
"It is true that just one prophecy cannot allow all countries to reach a consensus and carry out concerted actions, otherwise it will not drag on for four hundred years. So, what is the key that ultimately allows one party to convince the other party and allow the resolution to be passed?"
"this--"
The elf mage hesitated for a moment, and his eyes flickered again. He had already figured out that the mysterious high mage who had caught him here for questioning was probably related to the arcanist system.
And they are more inclined to support one side, but I don't know why, the other side knows nothing about this information that they should know, and they still want to ask such an innocent elf.
"Say it safely and boldly. It means nothing will happen. Of course, you can also try to make up another lie and see if I can see through it."
Xia Duo's words made the elf mage's face tighten, and he subconsciously refused: "You can easily ask for this information when you go to the elf court, why do you need to embarrass me?"
"I just want to hear what you say, don't waste time, do you still want to go home?"
As if he heard that Xia Duo's tone was unkind, the elf mage lowered his head as if resigned to his fate and said in a low voice:
"This matter is actually very disgraceful to say. During the Drow War four hundred years ago, arcanists participated in the war in large numbers and achieved many achievements on the battlefield, but -"
"but what?"
"But many of the arcanists who participated in the war were civilians, and their exposure to magic was very short. Of course, this is not the most important thing.
"What really allowed all the forces to quickly compromise and unify their opinions was the emergence of human arcanists not long ago! Humans, who were once considered insulated from magic, have actually mastered magic! Haha——"
Speaking of this, the elf mage couldn't help but reveal a hint of ridicule in his eyes, "Traditional mages looked down on the arcanist system and believed that the latter had tarnished the magic palace. But when human arcanists appeared, they had to admit that the other party had mastered magic.
And I feel deeply afraid of it.”
"So, it was the emergence of human arcanists that led to the rapid passage of Resolution 10453?"
"Yes, but the emergence of a large number of elven civilian arcane masters is also one of the causes. The drow war four hundred years ago taught almost all the upper elves a lesson - they are not much smarter than the civilians, and humans are not better than the elves.
Stupid. All the achievements they have achieved today are not more due to their own intelligence, but to their class of origin!"
"It sounds like you don't think of yourself as an upper elf?"
"I was born as a commoner. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet my teacher, I wouldn't have achieved what I have achieved now. Why should I identify with those upper-class elves who have had no worries about resources since I was born?"
As if he had said it and no longer cared about anything, the elf mage complained again, "In the traditional magic system, I will never be able to become a high mage, but in the arcanist system, it is possible for me to climb to the highest level."
, It’s a pity that the former hometown of arcanists has now given up on arcanists, and it can’t even keep the qualifications to preserve relevant data!”
"Are you talking about Everesca?"
"Where else could it be? I have gone to Yunding Tower to ask more than once, but the answer I got is always that the Elf Court's decision cannot be resisted. Haha, if you hadn't brought me out this time, I would have been forced to accept the memory tomorrow.
Cleansed and bloodline purified!”
Here comes the dramatic scene, this elf mage is also an arcanist!
Sha Duo didn't notice this just now, but now that he knows it, he can't help but feel a little curious, "Why didn't you leave Everesca when you knew your memory was going to be purged?"
"It's easy to say leaving. The North is full of minions of the Elf Court. Even if we go south, haha, I'm afraid I won't be able to live in peace. Even if I can escape to a place outside the Elf world, where are my family? Where are my friends? They also can't.
Are you willing to follow me and live a life of isolation from the world?"
