Chapter 155: Value orientation towards human beings?
"I appreciate you more and more, Mr. Ringer." Tiandis looked at Ringer with eyes full of praise. She never seemed to hide her favor for the young man in front of her, even if he was just a weakling.
He is a mortal, but it doesn't matter. The Witch Association was originally an organization established to bridge the gap between mortals and extraordinary beings. Therefore, his ordinaryness is not a weakness, but has become an advantage.
She looked around, then raised her head, taking in the silent soldiers on both sides of the bridge and the airships cruising in the night sky, and said with emotion: "When the association was first established, I didn't have many trustworthy partners.
, because essentially, it is difficult for me to trust other people. Apart from Carabosse and the others, the only people around me are Fei, Bolong, Matalia and Campella. Oh, Matali
Ya is Galileo in later historical records, and Campella is Plato... But when they voluntarily became the phantoms of philosophers in another world, their original names were no longer used, and I haven't mentioned them for a long time."
"At that time, the association was still weak, and its headquarters was not set up on the current floating stronghold Ladiste, but in a ruins called Iron Eden Reglagios - where I woke up
In this place, after the natural disaster, the world was turned upside down, which woke me up, making me have a premonition that I came to this world for a noble mission."
She slowly narrated, her calm voice gradually spreading in the night: "We huddled in that desolate and desolate ruins, using the few resources at hand, constantly looking for information, constantly deducing calculations, and constantly overturning
Start over again... Finally, we formulated this plan to replace the rules of magic with physical rules, which is what you know as the Eden Project. And you, Mr. Ringer, you surmised this plan just from the few words you just said.
This is a very rare talent. Have you never thought of using it in a better place?"
After going round and round, the topic returned to her original invitation to Ringer. Obviously Tiandis never gave up the idea. But Ringer's attitude was still as cold as at the beginning: "It's just because the hint you gave has already been
That’s enough, guessing riddles is not a rare talent. And——”
He frowned slightly: "I'm afraid what I said is not complete enough?"
Judging from the various actions of the Witch Association, the Eden Project is obviously a very large project, including extraordinary people, magicians, aliens, monsters, demons, false gods, evil gods and other factors related to the magical environment.
And what Ringer mentioned just now is just a very small part of it.
Tiandis smiled, neither admitting nor denying, and continued: "Improving the application system of magic power and reducing the number and frequency of magic users will indeed weaken the magic barrier in the mirror star world. If
Based on the time period when I just established the Witch Association, if the magic concentration content of the entire mirror star world is defined as 100%, by the stage of the birth and promotion of the magic system, this ratio has been reduced to 90%, and by the time the magic system is born and promoted
stage, it has dropped to about 75%.”
"The weakening of the magic barrier caused the physical rules from the earth to begin to apply to this world. So at that time, our witch association began to introduce a large number of scientific concepts and technological creations from other worlds, from simple glasses, clocks, and window glass
, oil lampshades, to complex papermaking, printing, steam engines, etc. Whether you agree with the practice of association or not, at least one thing you should be sure of, Mr. Ringer, is that civilization began to develop from this time, and various innovations
His creations have truly changed the shape of society and people's lives. Before that, the knowledge of intelligent beings could only be used for the study of magic, and ordinary people could not benefit from it."
Ringer could only remain silent. As a college student in the history department, he naturally knew this very well. With Galileo's formulation of the celestial calendar as a landmark event, in the ancient times BC, there was almost no substantial development of civilization, except for the holy pictures.
Mi created a religious system, established the first city-state in human history, and brought about reforms in law, commerce, and handicrafts. At other times, it seemed that there were endless wars and fighting. In the past, historians believed that they were the four great empires.
Civil wars between the world, and now, perhaps we also need to include the civil wars between extraordinary beings, and the external wars between the four great empires and alien regimes.
His silence showed an attitude. Although the young man did not admit it directly, Tiandis felt that this attitude was already very sincere. After all, when faced with conclusive facts, the first reaction of many people was not acquiescence, but
To refute, even if they know their mistakes in their hearts, it is simply more difficult to make them admit their mistakes than to slaughter those false gods and evil gods.
She continued: "Although technology is booming, and the threats of extraordinary beings and magicians, false gods and evil gods have been completely suppressed by us, the situation of Project Eden is still not optimistic, because in the process of promoting the two systems, we gradually discovered that
The impact of human activities on the magic environment is very limited. Even if these two systems can completely replace the former system, the degree of weakening of the magic barrier is not as great as we imagined, reducing the magic concentration in the mirror star world to the standard line.
The following 75% may be its limit. If it continues to decrease, a new system must be developed. But for us, the magic system is already the most concise and efficient system for using magic, and there is no need to continue simplifying it.
Possibility; either…”
Her pause here seemed meaningful, as if she was sure that if she didn't say anything, the audience would guess it. Sure enough, an idea flashed in Alice's mind, and she shouted: "Or do something about other extraordinary beings, such as aliens and monsters!
?”
Then she stared at Tiandis blankly: "That's why the Witch Association..."
"The phenomenon of the surge of magic power and the phenomenon of magic resonance." Tiandis's mouth slightly sketched: "These two phenomena are the theoretical basis for our next plan, proposed by the two philosophers of the association, Copernicus and Bruno. The former believes that
The magic power concentration in the mirror star world is affected by the month of March. Every time the rising moon comes, the magic power concentration will increase and become more active; every time the descending moon comes, the magic power concentration will decrease and become silent. This is the only known method at present.
A phenomenon that will lead to changes in the concentration of magic power. The latter believes that the changes in magic power between the ascending rose and the descending rose are essentially caused by the activity of "magic creations", which include monsters, demons and even magic plants.
All races who are born with magic power, including extraordinary beings and magicians who stimulate their spirituality to control magic power. It is the constant activity of these magic creations that strongly resonates with the ubiquitous magic power, which leads to changes in the concentration of magic power.
.”
"Both phenomena reveal the same fact: there is a certain unique connection between the magic power of the world and their creations. The creations absorb magic power from nature and feed it back through their own activities, so that the magic power of nature is always maintained.
A constant value. This means that even if the association reduces the concentration of magic power by improving the magic use system, the spontaneous activity of various magic creations will gradually repair this barrier, making all our previous efforts useless; but at the same time
It also means that as long as you interfere with creation, you can also interfere with changes in the concentration of magic power."
So, how to interfere with creation to reduce the concentration of magic power?
The simplest and most intuitive method, the method adopted by the Witch Association at the moment, has only one word: kill.
From killing false gods and evil gods in the past, to killing extraordinary beings and magicians, to later killing aliens and monsters, killing demon spirits and magic plants, all for the same purpose, the purpose that runs throughout.
"I see."
Ringer understood it completely: "No wonder you say that choosing human beings is not an emotional orientation, but a value orientation."
The human race headed by Saint Toumi betrayed the Queen's sovereignty, so why does the Witch Association still stand unswervingly behind them? The answer is simple, because humans are the only intelligent race that is born unable to use magic. In other words,
If we must create a world where magic does not exist, then humans are the most suitable race to live in such a world and develop civilization, while other aliens and monsters do not have this advantage.
When the hatred of the past and the ideal of the future are placed in front of you, what choice will you make? The queens of chaos gave their answers.
"They all believe that this is also a revelation from their mother. Otherwise, why would the mother only ignore humans when she gives all spirits the qualification to use magic? If there is a race that is destined to be chosen, they would rather believe in their mother's choice.
"
Tiantis's words echoed slowly on the bridge, and the young man suddenly remembered Feier's melancholy mood and relieved eyes when he told the history of the ancient times in Xugen Swamp, and for a while, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
This is true even for him, let alone Saint Shalia and others who are also the Queens.
As the same betrayers, the King of Order forgave mankind because he recognized his own immaturity and felt that the ideas of the King of Chaos were too extreme and would never succeed; and the King of Chaos also forgave mankind because of his own ideals.
, for the beautiful and equal world envisioned by Tiandis.
Same forgiveness, different original intentions, but the same complicated emotions.
