BXBX NOVEL Chapter 457: Prejudice
Chapter 457: Prejudice
At this time, Lei Luo smiled faintly and said, “Do you know that all of you share a common prejudice? This is the common prejudice of the entire empire. It is this prejudice that caused mankind’s fear of the magic conductor, and it is also this prejudice that caused the hatred of the magic conductor towards mankind. This prejudice is that all of you view the magic conductor as an industrial product that can be produced by flowing water, and not a living person.”
As he said this, Lei Luo sighed softly and asked in return, “But are they really not human? Don’t they have a head, two ears, a pair of hands, and a pair of feet like us? Don’t they have to eat, wear clothes, be afraid of the cold, and be afraid of the heat like us? Don’t they yearn for friends and fear loneliness like us? Why should we doubt that they have rich emotions like us? And why should we doubt that they have souls like us? Is it just because we are conceived in the womb and they are magic incubators?”
Morton and the others had never thought that Lei Luo would suddenly change the topic and say these words.
“Is a magic conductor human?”
They didn’t think much about it, but once they mentioned it, Morton and the others realized that they had never thought about such a simple question ever since they were born.
Now that they thought about it, the discrimination against magic conductors had long been deeply rooted in their hearts.
Perhaps what Lei Luo had said was true. Even they had been subtly assimilated by the senate’s ideological education.
Seeing that Morton and the others’ expressions had turned from serious to doubtful, Lei Luo nodded his head in relief.
“I can tell you what I will do when it comes to the issue of magic conductors. First, I will destroy all the magic conductor replication centers that I have encountered. Within my sphere of influence, any act of creating magic conductors through unnatural conditions will be illegal. Second, I will declare that all magic guides have the same full citizenship rights as ordinary humans. This includes the right to marry, make friends, reproduce, and learn and progress. Naturally, magic guides can also join the army. And we will also give magic guides the same rights and obligations as ordinary humans. In short, I will let there be only humans in this world, not magic guides or native humans. This will not only help us grow stronger in a short time, but it will also be beneficial to the long-term peace and stability of the entire human race. I believe that this is the only way to comprehensively solve the problem of the magicians.”
At this point, Lei Luo stopped and looked at the four people sitting next to him.
Morton let out a long sigh of relief. Katz and Zacken were biting their lips, while Allie was scratching the back of her head in distress.
After a while, Morton said, “I have to admit that you’ve convinced me. I agree with what you said. However, I still want to say that this problem is too serious. We’re still so weak now. Can we wait a little longer? Wait until we’re stronger before we tackle this problem? This way, if anything happens, we’ll be able to withstand the blow.”
After listening to Morton’s words, Lei Luo looked at the other three.
They all more or less expressed their agreement with Morton.
At this time, Lei Luo smiled and said, “No, Morton, you have just reversed the cause and effect. We must first start with the magic conductor, so that we can quickly become stronger.”
As Lei Luo spoke, he stood up from the bed. Allie wanted to reach out to help him, but he avoided it.
Lei Luo walked to the center of the room, turned around, and said to the four people, “During this period of time, I’ve actually been thinking about a problem. How can I prevent the mutiny in the Holy City of Beauty from happening again? First, I thought about the creation of a disciplinary system, so I made the first and second arrangements. But, as long as a group has discipline and is organized, will it be strong and cohesive? I don’t think so. I always feel that there’s something else that needs to be done. After thinking for a long time, I thought of one thing, and that is loyalty.”
When Lei Luo said this, he walked to a chair in front of the four of them and sat down.
“I have no doubt that the four of you are loyal to me. However, the problem is that in the future, our group will have a hundred million or even several trillion people. No matter how good the system was, even if it was a god, it would be impossible for so many people to be loyal to him at the same time, not to mention that I am only one person... What should I do? What should I do? What method can we use to unite such a large number of people?”
Lei Luo pursed his lips lightly and paused. He looked at Morton and the others until he became impatient. “Aiya, don’t keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me, what kind of miracle medicine did you find?”
“I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I only came up with one answer, which is the idea. The politicians call the idea the line and the program, the religious people the belief, and the empty talkers the ideal. And I call it the idea.”
Lei Luo blinked his eyes and spoke slowly and confidently.
“If a person only struggles for himself, he can only derive strength from himself. If a person struggles for a family, he can obtain the strength of his family. If a person only struggles for a group, he can only obtain the strength of that group. And if a person wants to obtain the strength of the entire empire, he must struggle for the people of the entire empire. No one is a fool. No matter how wonderful a lie is, there will eventually come a day when it will be destroyed. No matter how perfect a scheme is, it will be seen through one day. The only unbreakable lie in this world is the truth. And the greatest scheme in this world is to make oneself sincerely believe in an idea. No matter how powerful, intelligent, and charming a person is, it is impossible to convince the people of the entire empire. But an idea can. Out of the thirteen disciples, one of them is a traitor, but religion still spreads throughout the entire human race. What does he rely on? Isn’t it just a concept?”
When Lei Luo said this, he paused and let Morton and the others digest it.
“Create a concept that he truly believes in, then gather the people who believe in this concept, then use this person to conquer and assimilate, making everyone believe in this concept, thus achieving the goal of unifying the entire empire?”
Morton tried to annotate Lei Luo’s words.
Lei Luo nodded in satisfaction.
