Chapter 414

The alliance's races were all very good creatures.

Now, the entire Academy Continent was severely lacking in service personnel. Ordinary people were not qualified to receive mages and apprentices. The Holy Tower, or rather, Adam, did not have enough manpower. Most of the contracted slaves were a group of warmongers of all shapes and sizes. Relying on them to receive mages and apprentices was likely to lead to bloody conflicts.

So, the alliance's races took the initiative to receive mages and apprentices.

Although they were allies of equal status in name, even they themselves knew that in a situation where power was not equal and there was no hope of equality, they were actually under the protection of the mages, servants who served the mages for generations. They were familiar with these tasks and completed them well. The price Adam paid was only to grant the qualifications for the children of their race to be promoted to the central court.

"You did very well." In the Headquarter Academy's tower, Naeem sat paralyzed in front of a screen without a care for his image. He looked at the busy scenes on thousands of screens and said to Adam.

There was no one beside them.

"I was born in ancient times. At that time, the world of mages was still very small. There was only one continent, one empire, and a group of foolish and conceited ancient mages who did whatever they wanted. Yes, it was about the same size as the Academy Continent, and I was the crown prince of the empire. But I did not like the world at that time, did not like my country, and hated the mages of that time. So, I joined Annie and the others, and together we started a revolution. "

Adam quietly listened to Naeem's words. This was probably a common problem of old people. Like to talk about the past?

"At that time, our initial plan was to build a world like this, so that everyone would have the hope and channels to obtain power. But a plan was just a plan. The power of change was too great, so great that even we could not resist it. In the end, the revolution succeeded. We succeeded in making the world of mages better than before, but in fact, it was already different from our original intention. "

It had been a week since the last time he saw Naeem.

In the end, the Freedom Faction chose to accept Adam's orders and sent all their mage apprentices to the Academy Continent. As for whether or not they left behind any of their true elites, Adam didn't know, nor did he care. When the number of mage apprentices reached a certain level, if an individual's strength couldn't become an overwhelming advantage over the entire system, then it would become unimportant.

Moreover, Adam believed that among the numerous acolytes in front of him, there were definitely many geniuses who had been buried by the backward education system. They would gradually blossom in the academy's life in the future.

Naeem didn't make things difficult for Adam in this matter. Instead, it was because of his words that the Freedom Towers cooperated with him.

That was why Adam had the mood and time to listen to an old man reminiscing about the past.

But then, Naeem changed the topic. "You did well, but you could have done better. You were too influenced by Annie's attitude."

Adam's curiosity was aroused.

"You've been misled.

The Holy Tower Faction, Annie, and the others, as the founders of this world, had great love for this world. They didn't want anyone or anything to cause harm to this world, which was why they encouraged the Freedom Faction to grow. They had the power to suppress the Freedom Faction, but they couldn't bear to do so, which was why they compromised time and time again, trying to find a balance between the two factions.

You may not know this, but in the past hundreds of thousands of years, this is the boldest and toughest decision the Holy Tower has ever made. However, they only dared to do this to ordinary people and apprentices.

Not willing and not daring are two completely different attitudes. If they were more decisive, the Freedom Faction wouldn't have had the chance to grow, and the world of mages wouldn't have appeared strong and prosperous on the surface, but rot and maggots would not have grown at the roots. "

Adam asked, "But the Freedom Faction also has truesouls?"

Naeem replied, "Truesouls are different from one another. The Seven Holy Tower's Tower Master and Deputy Tower Masters truly had to endure hardships to forcibly step onto the path of truesouls. The truesouls of the Freedom Faction only relied on the support and protection of Annie and the others to advance on their path.

The original idea of the Weave was a large-scale compulsory contract for all mages. If one wanted to become a mage, they had to fulfill the stipulated obligations and be jointly supervised by the Seven Holy Tower. They had to establish a society of mages that was free and autonomous on the surface, but in reality, it was a magic empire. "

Adam thought about it. If such a reform were to take place in the present, it would inevitably lead to strong resistance and even the collapse of order. However, it was completely possible in the circumstances of the past. Although the empire's system was backward, its execution was much higher. Compared to a parliamentary system, it was not necessarily a bad thing for a group of extraordinary creatures.

"Then why did it become like this?"

Naeem sneered, "Because of Prometheus's idealism, because of his great prestige at the time, because I didn't become a truesoul in time.

Apart from me, the first revolutionaries were all commoners. They were oppressed by the empire's system at the time, and had no right to speak. They had no way of rising. All they had was talent, passion, and ideals. So after the revolution succeeded in overthrowing the old system, they instinctively resisted the restoration of the empire's system and chose to establish this stupid Mage Parliament.

Idealists can change the world, but when their ideas are too idealistic without considering reality, their ideals are equivalent to slow-acting poison, burying a huge hidden danger for the future.

They focused on their ideals, but forgot that the Ether Void is ultimately a world where power is paramount. Controlling absolute power is the only basis for achieving one's ideals, and not pinning one's hopes on the approval of others. "

"Just like these workers, only absolute power can give birth to absolute obedience. Otherwise, do you think they would be so well-behaved?"

Adam seemed to understand something. Although Naeem, who was born in the royal family, was one of the revolutionaries, he was not very popular in the group because of his identity. According to what he said now, he must have proposed the idea of establishing a magic empire. As the highest noble, he clearly saw the advantages and disadvantages of the empire's system, but he was obviously rejected by the group, and might even be excluded because of this.

Perhaps this was the reason why he left the Holy Tower faction and joined the liberal faction? Incompatible ideals?

Naeem did not look at Adam, but he knew what Adam was thinking, "This is part of the reason, but not the main one. You should have also seen that although I don't agree with their overly idealistic ideas, I hate the liberal faction more, this group of vampires attached to the system. The reason why I joined the liberal faction instead of forming my own faction is that I don't want to completely break the friendship that has been breeding cracks. "

Adam asked curiously, "Then why don't you become a truesoul? With your qualifications, once you become a truesoul, things will change, right?"
