Chapter 583 Ambitious Lucian
When Douglas asked, his eyes were on Lucian, of course he had to give his own ideas about this kind of thing.
"The celebrations of the previous great arcanists are all associated with the congratulations of the promotion to legends, it is too troublesome and time-consuming to hold them twice, and if it is not a legendary magician, I always feel a little lacking in confidence, so when I advance to the legend, I will proceed together." Lucian expressed his opinion.
Although being congratulated on holding a celebration is something that makes most people happy, and the great arcanists of the past are no exception, because of the same reason for repeated celebrations, this euphoria becomes numb and fades, and it feels like additional torture.
Moreover, during the celebration, the Elven Court, the Druid Elders, and the friendly factions of the Dark Council will definitely let the legendary powerhouses come, and it is easy to expose the fact that they have been promoted to legends in close contact. This will allow the enemy to avoid major intelligence mistakes and invest more difficult to prevent and more powerful forces.
Fernando leaned on the back of his chair without sitting at this time, nodded and said: "I agree with Lucian's suggestion, although the Great Arcanist is the most valued title and the most glorious title within the council, but the legendary field is the improvement of the essence of life, and it is the sublimation that no matter which profession it recognizes."
Seeing that Lucian himself and his teacher had said this, there was naturally no need for the other members of the Supreme Council to dwell on this issue.
Douglas nodded slightly: "I have always been worried that Lucian will become arrogant and arrogant due to the two major achievements of the 'Miracle Night', but today I am very happy to see that he is still so humble and cautious, so rational and calm, and truly understands the importance of his own strength."
Lucian tensed his face and resisted the urge to laugh, His Excellency the Speaker's acting skills are not bad!
"However, Lucian's acquisition of the honorary title of Grand Arcanist cannot be so quiet, otherwise it will make other arcanists in the council have bad thoughts, thinking that we cannot see the growth of young people." Douglas continued, "I propose that the 'World Real' channel and the 'Voice of the Mystery' channel under 'Sky Radio' repeatedly insert this news in the program, so that as many arcanists, nobles and ordinary people as possible can know."
"What about the previous method? Do you still need it?" There were thick books in front of Helen, vaguely one of the books Lucian had given her, and she was so serious that she only devoted a small part of her energy to listening to the content of the meeting.
This was her usual habit at meetings, and the members of the Supreme Council had long been not surprised, except for particularly important issues and discussions related to themselves, there were few things that could pull her out of the "world" of arcane and magic research, but in the past five years, she had to take turns in Alinge, and she had to order the committee to do similar things, so she had to ask questions.
——The method of the Magic Council in the past was to inform each branch, and they would transfer it to the magicians and apprentices within their jurisdiction, and at the same time add the text on the cover of each journal that so-and-so was awarded the title of Grand Arcanist by the council for three consecutive issues.
Douglas said affirmatively: "It was a special proposal just now, and it will not hinder the implementation of the past method."
"Some magicians don't have the habit of listening to the radio, and the journal is still going to be published for some time, so I propose to send a letter to every high-ranking mage's magic tower that Evans has won the title of Grand Arcanist." "The Prophet" Begner said, wearing the tower's signature gray pointed hat and a white beard like a goat.
According to Lucian's vague impression, there are only about five or six hundred, and it will not be too troublesome for each person to send a letter, and further down, the number is more amazing, so for the proposal of the "Prophet", no member of the Supreme Council objected.
Douglas announced with a smile: "The first issue has ended successfully, and I will award Lucian the title of Grand Arcanist on behalf of the council."
As he spoke, he took out a badge with a silver star on a black background and gave Lucian a badge, which was quite similar to the arcane badge, but the black color was deeper, like an infinite night sky, with three huge silver stars in the middle arranged according to the structural model of protons, neutrons, and electrons, with stars in the background, like a real and vast starry sky.
This is a unique emblem that represents each Grand Arcanist, and also integrates the authority of the members of the Supreme Council, and although it only has the magical effect of "freedom of movement", it has the ability to harness the power of the City in the Sky and the Magic Tower of Alinge.
As Lucian wore the badge on his chest, applause rang out again, marking his official appointment as a Grand Arcanist and a member of the Supreme Council.
"The second issue is how to effectively control the four countries of the Straits and the Northern Coastal Corridor and how to weaken the foundation of the church's faith." Douglas put away his smile, "I believe everyone has seen the scene where Benedict II performed divine descent twice, even if this divine magic is not the power of the believers to summon the projection of Heaven Mountain, and it is not because they have such powerful power, it is not difficult to see that the prayers of believers and clergy are at least the trigger medium for its use.
"No matter what the effect is, this is at least the direction we should work towards, what are your opinions?"
"Starlight Light" Grant said bluntly: "We can follow the church's action of killing magicians and attack the belief in the God of Truth in this area of the strait."
He was a tall and thin middle-aged man, with no beard, light golden hair, neatly combed back, and his eyes were like the brightest and brightest stars, exuding a strange charm.
"No." The "Master of Transfiguration" Erica with flaxen hair and eyes objected, "The clergy of the Four Countries of the Straits and the Northern Coastal Corridor are developing in the direction of moderate sects, and are closely integrated with the nobles.
She has been operating in the Duchy of Calais for many years, and the "Cursed Eye" has become inextricably linked with the local nobles, and is a pro-aristocratic faction within the council.
The "Cursed Eye" also spoke: "If we attack the moderate sects within us, we will no longer be able to rebel and persuade other clergy and nobles in the future, and we must use a more moderate and closer way to achieve our goals."
"I agree with Erica and Atlanta." Brooke, who crossed his fingers against his chin, said in a deep voice, "I think everyone should have noticed that in the past few years, due to the launch of 'The Voice of the Mystery', the devotion of ordinary people in Rentat to faith has dropped a lot, which can be confirmed by the number and frequency of their worship, their dedication to the church, and their usual speech and behavior.
With its many magicians and apprentices, Rentat is the city with the strongest control over the council, able to quickly detect changes in the common people.
Hearing Brooke's opinion, Silver Moon Scholar Holt and other members of the Supreme Council all looked at Lucian - he invented a completely new thing like broadcasting, and the specific program content was also formed under his guidance, and he had the most say in broadcasting.
In his own field, Lucian was not modest, turned the quill in his hand and said: "The current setting of the two channels is relatively reasonable, plus the two channels that the Hoffenberg royal family and the Kingdom of Holm will open, there is no need for more programs, because for ordinary people, the daytime is busy with life, except at night, there is no extra free time to listen to the program, and at the same time, too many channels do not use them to focus on the 'Voice of the Mystery'."
"The most important thing we need now is to reduce the cost of magic radio and promote it to most households."
"Then we should ban private radio." Yinyue Scholar added.
And the alchemist Klaus also expressed his professional opinion: "Although there is a group of dwarf craftsmen to supplement, their number is still not enough, and the training of subsequent talents will take more time, so for a long time, even if the cost of magic radio is reduced, it will not be able to meet the needs of large-scale promotion."
"If there are more mechanical achievements that allow them to assume some of the functions of magic circles, there may be breakthroughs."
"For large-scale promotion, I have a plan with Natasha and James." Lucian officially brought up last year's discussion, and finally said, "In addition, I have some ideas."
"Even though you always have something new to surprise everyone." Douglas smiled and motioned for Lucian to continue, while the other members of the Supreme Council did not object.
Lucian coughed: "The reason why magic radio cannot be promoted is because of the cost, and secondly, the income of ordinary people is too small to afford.
"We should unite with the Kingdom of Holm, the Kingdom of Briana, etc., to formulate a five-year alchemy industry revitalization plan, through our early investment and inventions, to increase the relatively well-paid jobs, increase the income of ordinary people, and increase the overall wealth of the entire society."
"Lucian, you have the potential to be the prime minister of the kingdom, and the concept of the overall wealth of society is very good." Klaus said half-jokingly, "The problem is that most ordinary people do not have the ability to enter the alchemy workshop to work."
The alchemy workshops of the magical society are much more demanding than those of the industrial age - because the common people of the industrial age already have a good level of education.
Lucian smiled: "Why are they not capable? Because they lack the necessary knowledge and skills, which can be compensated for by education. I think the private teaching method of teachers in the kingdom is too backward, and the form of magic schools should be promoted, so that more people can improve themselves through learning, and once they know more things and open their eyes, the piety of their faith will naturally decrease."
This is what Lucian has wanted to do from the beginning, to change society and change the fate of ordinary people!
"Yes, the more knowledge a person has, the lower the probability of having devout faith." Fernando nodded slightly, "We didn't control this area before, we couldn't promote the school, now it's time."
Lucian then added: "I suggest that schools be divided into two types, one is a five-year system, teaching common script, arcane basics, magic knowledge, biological knowledge, religious knowledge, historical knowledge, legal knowledge and basic labor skills, etc., which I call general education, with the magic council and the kingdom each bearing part of the cost, and the ordinary people themselves bear a part. While improving their basic abilities, we can also directly select people with good arcane talents from these schools, which is easier than before."
"One is to provide professional education for follow-up talents for major alchemy workshops, which are invested by each alchemy workshop and bear all the expenses, the council is responsible for providing teachers, and the kingdom is responsible for exempting taxes and fees.
