I created scientific magic

Chapter 467 This is not just the life of a poor man, but also the majesty of the law!

Looking at the ring in Arad's hand, the wizards present felt a little strange, but they still took it as promised.

Ivana fastened the ring on her ring finger according to Allard's instructions. After inputting a small amount of magic power to activate it, her consciousness seemed to sink into the endless deep sea.

In a daze, Ivana felt as if she had forgotten something, and then bursts of shouts sounded in her ears.

"My lord... my lord!"

Ivana opened her eyes suddenly, and she was surrounded by seven or eight plainly dressed poor people, looking at her in surprise.

"Master Clerk, are you awake?" It was an old farmer who spoke.

"Officer?" Ivana hesitated for a moment, her mind was still a little confused, but she quickly remembered that she had passed the selection of the parliament and became an officer in the eastern territory of the kingdom.

Today was my first day in office, and I was patrolling the territory with the townspeople, and then volunteered to help everyone cultivate, but the result was probably too exhausted, and I passed out directly.

Strange, with my own physical fitness, it shouldn't be like this...

Ivana frowned, but before she could think about it, some doubts were dispelled by the enthusiasm of the townspeople, and she quickly calmed down and started her life as an office officer!

In the first week, Ivana didn't do anything rashly, but spent all her time in contact with the townspeople to understand the current situation of the village.

Just like the rest of the recovered kingdom territory, everything here exudes a conservative and dilapidated atmosphere. The local lord who often oppressed the poor was hanged on the crooked neck tree at the top of the city just a week ago. There is a group of farmers who can't read a single character and only know how to farm and hunt all their lives. This is in stark contrast to the vibrant and ever-changing Huoyou City.

Moreover, there are not a few local people who believe in [Ayla] devoutly. After hundreds of years of propaganda by the church, the people have a strong defense against wizards-this is based on the fact that the Musketeers have solved the local nobles who oppressed the people. Complaints about dividing land, beating up local tyrants and other methods have all been used again and again.

Her task is to disintegrate the beliefs of these people and free them from the old life of starvation and nakedness.

Ivana felt deeply about her responsibility, and the first thing she did was to make all the citizens stop growing wheat!
After all, the price of grain has reached the lowest point in history. With magic bread, it can be expected that the price of wheat in the Kingdom will hardly rise back to its original level for a long time to come.

In fact, if the council hadn't been buying grain at the price of one copper, the current wheat would have been worthless!

So something has to change!

After visiting, Ivana soon learned that the local viscount who was hanged owned a wine-making manor, which specialized in brewing a unique blueberry ale, which had been selling well among the nobles before.

In view of this, Ivana immediately called several winemakers in the winery, and asked carefully whether this kind of blue fruit could be planted on a large scale, and how much the output would be. After getting a satisfactory answer, she started She took the first step of her village transformation plan - when planting this autumn, the original planting of wheat will be changed to blue fruit, and more wineries will be established.

Ivana believes that those kingdom citizens who have entered the workshop and obtained higher salaries will never be as simple as sticking to a few pieces of bread. This blueberry ale has a unique taste that is not available in other places. Where are their advantages!
And now the price of wheat is very low, they can take advantage of this in turn, and they can get enough raw materials for brewing for not much money!

Ivana's idea is undoubtedly very good, but it has been spontaneously resisted by a large number of townspeople. No one knows whether planting so many blue fruits to make wine can be sold and whether the expected income can be obtained.

If it fails, wouldn't everyone starve to death?

The townspeople who have been cultivating for generations are not very willing to make tentative changes. The townspeople are very satisfied to get the land back from the nobles. No matter how low the food price is, at least growing wheat can make them have a meal eat!
In this regard, Ivana didn't waste much time, persuading each family, but directly spent a lot of money to rent all the fields, and promised generously.

"Everyone does what I say. If you make money, I want [-]% of the profit. If you don't make money, all the losses will be mine!"

With the guarantee of real money and Ivana's promise, the strategy of changing crops was barely implemented.

In order to be safe, Ivana even specially invited elemental wizards who are proficient in farming to use magic to fertilize the land, eliminate insects and increase production.

Ivana's bold and radical strategy has undoubtedly achieved very good results. She transformed a poor village into a production base of blue fruit ale. Everyone in the village participated in the process from planting to brewing to sales. In all aspects, Ivana also successfully passed the assessment and became the local mayor!

However, the girl soon discovered that after becoming the mayor, not only did the troubles not decrease, but they increased. Ivana was almost too busy to stop. decision.

Today, a farmer's camel was stolen, and tomorrow, two villages fought over water...

These are only small problems, but the most troublesome thing for Ivana is that a certain official wizard had an argument with someone in the tavern and killed a townsman with magic!
According to the law of the parliament, the murderer will be sentenced to death or imprisonment for more than 20 years, depending on the severity of his behavior!
What is special this time is that the murderer is a wizard and belongs to the school of a great wizard. Both the newly recruited affairs officer and the village chief are advising her that she just died a poor man. Just judge a wizard for trivial matters, annoy a school with a great wizard, ask the other party to accompany some money, and the matter is over.

The wizard is the master of this kingdom, just like the noble lords in the past, he also masters powerful magic, and his value and status are far beyond that of a poor man.

"No, no, a wrong trial will gradually wipe out the trust that the parliament has built up among the common people, and make more wizards bold and reckless... thus disrupting the order of the entire kingdom!" Ivana said firmly. .

This is not only a question of who is more valuable and whose life is more important, the poor or the wizard, it also represents whether the majesty of the kingdom's laws has been lost!
In view of this, Ivana personally arrested the man... Trouble ensued, and many wizard schools accused her of going to war against a wizard for the life and death of a poor man. Some members even proposed to expel her The identity of the mayor.

In order to cope with these harsh criticisms, Ivana was exhausted, but she still withstood the pressure, and finally got the approval of the parliament. She was tried in the royal capital, sentenced to 15 years of forced labor, and compensated a large amount of consolation money. .

Although Ivana felt that such a punishment was a bit too light, she also understood that it was impossible for the other party to die. At least enough consolation money could save a family.

With these achievements, Ivana was quickly promoted to be the mayor of Steel City.

Immediately afterwards, her incompetent and long-lost younger brother came to the door, begging herself to open the door of convenience, and make a move in this year's office officer exam, so that she can be successfully elected.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face, Ivana couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Where did my brother come from?
……

At this moment, outside the examination room, all the answer sheets have been sent to the meeting room, where they will be judged and corrected by eight great wizards.

The basic questions in the front are good, with standard answers, you only need to consider right or wrong, but the latter application questions are different, there is no fixed answer, they have to evaluate whether the other party's decision is effective, and they are highly subjective. Discussions about various strategies are endless.

For example, a great wizard admired Monroe's answer sheet very much. This kind of vigorous and merciless means to the enemy is not suitable for being an officer, but it is still very good as a searcher.

Naturally, the most controversial issue was about the punishment of wizards for killing poor people. The eight great wizards almost showed a split.

It takes a lot of resources to cultivate an official wizard. It is necessary to select those with magical talents from the leaders, and after several years of learning and drinking the source of magic power, the promotion probability is less than [-]%.

Not to mention relying on magic, a wizard alone is equivalent to dozens of labor and combat power, no matter from any aspect, it is much more important than a poor person, and it is even more impossible to die for it!

"The kingdom is the kingdom of wizards, so how can we judge a wizard because of a poor man? In my opinion, according to the standard of the land of wizards in the past, a fine of [-] is almost the same!" the great wizard Sanchez said with a sneer.

He believes that as the affairs officer of the kingdom, he must understand this point. Those who make punishments or even severely punish wizards for answering the test paper must carefully consider their abilities.

"You might as well take a look at this answer sheet!" Raphael didn't mean to make any excuses, and directly handed over an exam paper.

Sanchez pouted and took it. Anyway, the value of a wizard is far beyond that of a poor man, but after a few random glances, his brows frowned involuntarily.

This answer sheet did not judge whose life is more valuable, but from the perspective of upholding the majesty of the laws of the parliament, he believed that if this matter cannot be handled fairly and the wizard is easily let go, then The extremely bad negative impact it will cause will damage the trust that the parliament has finally established among the civilians, and even cause similar things to happen frequently...

"Whose answer sheet is this?" Sanchez pondered for a long time before asking.

"It's a witch named Ivana." Raphael replied briefly. "I think her answer paper is very good, it should be the first paper this time!"

After reading the answer sheet, several great wizards nodded again and again. Ivana gave relatively reasonable answers to most of the application questions, and the style was very consistent with the previous decisions of the council.

Or it could be said that the other party gave a similar answer after knowing the various strategies they implemented in the kingdom.

The last question can be considered from the perspective of upholding the law, which is already a bit higher than others.

Even Sanchez, who advocated a lighter punishment, could not say anything against it.

While Rafael and the others were discussing each test paper intensely, Lynn was watching how the official wizards who were drawn into the magic field would deal with the various questions they had just answered. question.

How many people have duplicity, and how many people can stick to their principles.

Some things are much more difficult to do than to open your mouth!

Vittorio, who was also the invigilator, said with emotion. "It's also fortunate that you were able to persuade the [Secret Society] to use the small universe in such a place!"

Lynn smiled and didn't reply. After all, it was the first selection test for the council, so naturally it had to be taken seriously.

Not to mention that there are a large number of spies from the church in the kingdom, and there are not a few internal opposition parties. The selection of senior managers must be cautious.

The principle of this magic is somewhat similar to dreaming. The magician will be in a state of blurred memory in the magic field, and it will have no effect on great wizards for the time being. Official wizards also need to use the ring of arcane magic as a medium.

And the rest of the poor don't need to spend so much effort, handed over to those psionic wizards, a dream guidance spell can solve it.

Compared with taking the test in a conscious state, the answers obtained by this method are obviously more credible. Everyone will truly face their own choices in the dream, and the possibility of lying can basically be eliminated.

Of course, this is not a one-and-done move.

After all, people will always change. Maybe the other party can maintain their original intentions within three to five years, but in the longer term, there will always be people who cannot resist the temptation brought by power. At that time, a relatively complete relationship needs to be established. Supervise the reporting system.

In any case, he has tried his best to do his best in this election exam, and even secretly added some materials in it to expand the computing power network of the brain, and then he made an unexpected discovery.

Among the seventeen wizards who participated in the exam, there was one who was particularly special, and that was Monroe!
The intelligent brain can't decipher his mental fluctuations at all, which makes Lynn very surprised. You must know that even Harov, Vittorio and others cannot resist the mental power deciphering of the intelligent brain, and Monroe is only an official That's all wizards!
Is he possessing some kind of strange treasure, or is it that someone is providing him with some kind of shelter...

Information about Monroe couldn't help popping up in Lynn's mind.

The other party belonged to the White Dove School that was destroyed by the church. Together with Ivana, she followed the Wizards' Mutual Aid Association to the City of Fire Oil. Her performance in the Wizarding Academy was mediocre, and it can even be said to be a bit bad. On the contrary, Ivana's grades have always been very good. good.

There is no problem with the intellectual brain's deciphering of the girl's spiritual power, but because the time is too short, there is no way to spy on her memory.

Lin En pondered for a while, it seems that people need to pay more attention...
