Chapter 744: Build high walls and store up food
Chapter 744: Build high walls, store up food...
At least at this stage, although the system of kingdoms and nobles seems "old", Norwen does not intend to overturn it completely.
Powerful professionals can destroy monsters that ordinary people cannot contend with, and they have to take considerable risks.
Giving them higher status as rewards and rewards is understandable.
Whether kings or nobles, they do have a meaning of existence.
Greater ability, more power, heavier responsibilities, and better treatment.
But this system does have inevitable shortcomings.
For example, the noble lords have too much power and may make decisions that affect the overall situation because of their own selfish desires.
For example, Marquis Nochima and Count Kalezi disliked the new vehicles of Ceylon Territory, and banned them from entering their territory just because they affected their own interests.
But they are not essentially problems of the system, but problems of "people".
The problem lies in the disparity between the treatment enjoyed by the nobles and the responsibilities they should fulfill.
Shirking responsibility, avoiding risks, obsessed with power, and indulging in enjoyment.
Even if Norwen builds a new system based on his cognition, if the problem of "people" is not solved, it may still go the same way as the existing system in the end.
...
The key lies in solving the problem of "people".
Trace the source.
Why do noble lords have so much power?
First, the speed of information transmission and communication between the capital and the rest of the kingdom is slow, and the king can only delegate power to the nobles;
Second, ordinary people do need to rely on the protection of extraordinary people in the face of threats from cultists and monsters.
Noble lords are often the most powerful and influential professionals in the region.
They are difficult to replace.
This is what Norwen intends to solve.
The instant messenger makes the transmission of information no longer a problem;
Now, what happened in Dawn City in the morning can be delivered to the king's desk in the afternoon if necessary.
Just leave a knowledge-seeking believer in the capital to receive information.
As for the problem that ordinary people need protection from professionals, Norwen also has a corresponding plan.
In addition to allowing more and more mortals to become his believers, freely learn various skills and become professionals, there is now a second way:
- Discrete arcane magic device.
When the believers discovered the high-frequency dissipation phenomenon of the charging array, Nowen was actually quite surprised.
Because he used his authority to obtain so much knowledge about magic casting, engraving arrays, and rubbing scrolls, there was no knowledge in it that told him that the charging array could be used in this way!
In other words.
This is something discovered entirely by mortals, and it is not within the scope of knowledge obtained by Nowen's authority.
This belongs to Nowen's "knowledge blind spot".
Of course.
Nowen's role in it is definitely indispensable. Without the knowledge he gave to the believers, simply discovering this phenomenon is useless, because mortals can hardly figure out how to use the dissipated arcane energy to cast spells.
After the theoretical verification of discrete arcane magic is completed, the physical device test is successfully effective, and it officially enters the application stage, it means that ordinary people can also master an extraordinary method.
Use the discrete magic devices made in advance and the magic crystals that the mages have stored the arcane energy to "cast spells".
In the past, there were very few people who could become professionals.
In the future, the era when everyone can be a "caster" is coming!
In theory, as long as there are enough reserves of magic crystals and discrete magic devices, and the magic network environment in the nearby area is sufficient and active when casting spells.
After these two conditions are met, anyone can use these external objects to protect themselves!
As long as the "human" level problems can be solved.
The system problems will naturally no longer exist.
...
The plan is reasonable.
The prospects are promising.
As for the current situation, there is a long way to go.
At this stage, most discrete arcane magic devices are still in the most basic and simplest stage, and can only realize the simplest first-level magic, or very few second-level magic.
This thing is not easy to learn. Even in the Church of Seeking Knowledge where a large number of believers have become mages, there are still very few people who really know how to design a simple discrete arcane magic device.
Discrete arcane, in a sense, is similar to the blessing of the New Gods.
If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it.
You can't take shortcuts, let alone cheat.
When people are pushed to the limit, their potential may burst out, and they can suddenly control the powerful anger smoothly.
But no matter how desperate they are, they can't design a complete set of discrete arcane devices out of thin air.
Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar first releases this novel.
Using the knowledge he learned from believers and the magic-related information he obtained with his authority, Norwen also tried to design a device that can release the 4th-level [Silent Field] magic.
As soon as he saw the final deduced device structure, Norwen was directly numb!
More than 30,000 high-frequency charging arrays, as well as various most primitive physical structures, are densely stacked in a limited space, interconnected, triggered, and protected each other.
The whole system is extremely sophisticated, and there is no place to go wrong!
As the magic level increases, its complexity is exponentially explosive!
How difficult is it to make the device?
Noven is sure.
Even if he handed the complete structural diagram to the believers, it would be difficult for them to reproduce it into a finished product now, the error tolerance rate is too low!
Moreover, nearly 30,000 magic crystals, this is almost the magic crystal output of Stone Castle in a month!
Both the basic technology and materials are difficult to meet the demand.
Moreover, this technology is the result of the actual discovery of the believers, and Norman can only provide them with guidance!
The development of discrete arcane magic is obviously not something that can be accomplished overnight.
…
There is a threat of monsters in the outside world, and the cultists are still secretly planning conspiracies.
There is no need to rush to start a civil war in the kingdom immediately, and tear the face with those short-sighted nobles now.
That will only cause unnecessary internal friction.
Norman is not in a hurry for this moment.
Time has always been on his side.
The longer the development time.
His believers will be stronger.
From the guidance center for foreign personnel, to the resettlement plan, and low-rent residential buildings, these projects are basically completed by Norman himself issuing tasks to guide the believers.
They have a common feature:
The short-term benefits are very low.
After calculating the costs, the benefits may even be negative.
The short-sighted nobles are absolutely unwilling to do such things.
After all, the goal of these projects is not to get as much money as possible from those outsiders, but to make them integrate into the city as soon as possible.
If no one in Dawn City does these things, the city will be like other areas, and it will be difficult for outsiders to quickly find their own place here.
Nowen can't force his believers to be as "selfless" as himself, but he can give believers a reason to do this by issuing tasks and issuing rewards.
Now what Nowen plans to do is to absorb as many believers as possible and accumulate strength.
To describe it with the saying:
"Build high walls, store up food..."
