When inspecting the magic crystal mine on his own territory, Qiao An was still thinking in his heart that there would be no need to squeeze the miners too much in the future.
Under the current technical conditions, no matter how you squeeze slaves, it is difficult to improve the efficiency of mining and smelting coarse crystals. It is better to use "mythological advanced magic skills" to directly purify the ore into industrial magic crystals.
It is a pity that this pragmatic and humanitarian way of thinking does not conform to the mainstream concept of the beholder. In order to avoid suspicion, Qiao An cannot implement overly radical reforms in his own territory.
It is impossible to directly shorten the daily working hours of slaves from 12 hours to 10 hours, which will inevitably arouse criticism, but Qiao Ann can use a curve method to increase the welfare of slaves, such as changing two meals a day to three meals a day , Add a lunch, and convert two hours of lunch and lunch break into working hours.
Why do you do this?
In fact, there is no special reason, it's nothing more than being oversight and unbearable.
If Qiao Ann still lives in the human world, as a noble lord, owns manors, mines, pastures and docks, and has more than 300 slaves to let her live and kill, she will liberate the slaves under her own name and allocate land to them Or provide hired positions, as the progressive people in the New World did for the
abolitionist movement
.
In Udinese, in a more conservative place than Leiden and Midgard, Joanne had to go to the countryside in moderation, but she would never be as crazy and cruel as a real beholder, taking pleasure in squeezing slaves. .
No matter what species the body becomes, she does not want to completely betray the education she has received in human society and the three views she has established.
Professor Moriarty once said to her that the value of "humanity" can be questioned and must be questioned, otherwise human beings will not be able to deeply understand what humanity is.
Qiao An admits that human nature is imperfect, and is also practicing the advice given by his instructor, experiencing the difference between human and non-human.
However, she insists that imperfect humanity is at least humanity, and she will not and will not abandon the beautiful shining points of humanity, such as empathy that compares the heart to the heart, and compassion for the weak.
After Ira settled down, Qiao Ann took Varak directly back to the living room, and then sent a letter to call Tisitea. In Mitra’s usual reserved tone, he gave proper praise to their performance today. Each of them was given a "magic lens" as a reward.
What Tisitaia got was a magic lens attached to the "spell extension". Wearing it on the main eye, it can extend the radiation range of the "cone of shock" from the original 60 feet to 120 feet.
What Varak obtained was a magic lens attached to the "spell chain". Qiao An suggested that she wear it on the eye stalk corresponding to the "slow ray". Later, she can release the "slow group spell" at will to strengthen field control. ability.
Tisitaia and Varak used to occasionally receive compliments and rewards from their masters for their outstanding performance, but their masters have never been so generous as they are today.
It seems that the discovery of a new magic crystal vein has greatly increased the wealth of the territory, and brought a rare good mood to the owner, and they also followed them.
Tisitea and Varak were full of excitement, thanking their masters for the rewards, and then carefully storing their magic lenses.
They are all subspecies of beholders, and they can’t openly wear a magic lens to swagger in the city, but on the battlefield, let alone wearing a magic lens, the eye stems are covered with lenses and no one cares about this stall. A lens will give you more combat power and survival guarantee.
Tisitaia and Varak retired and left the reception room, Qiao An also returned to his home at the bottom of the well, closed his eyes and meditated, linked to "cloud network", checked hundreds of news newspapers he subscribed to, and found topics of interest. Just go to the forums to search for relevant revelations, see what the insiders in the local area have said about it, and even use the "myth alert" on-site wiretapping and monitoring to personally collect first-hand information.
It is now in early August of 1626. From the day Johan left Midgard to the present, it has been less than three months after the full play. There have been many big and small news on the surface world, especially in the New World where the war cloud is dense. Two major battles destined to be recorded in history have broken out between the Continental Army and the Feizhen Army, which suppressed the independence movement.
Although Qiao An left human society and even temporarily gave up her identity as a human being, she did not abandon the land where she was born and grew up, as she always followed the intensifying "War of Independence" in the New World.
In the past living among the crowd, Qiao Ann reads the news reports about violent conflicts, and always unconsciously brings them to one of them, empathizing with his fate.
For example, when he saw a report about the suppression of protesting students by the military police in Jotunheim, Qiao An could not help sympathizing with the young students who were beaten by the military police, and disgusted the bureaucrats who ordered the suppression.
This is certainly a factor that the news writer intends to guide public opinion, and more importantly, it is because she herself was a college student herself, and the status of a disadvantaged group of "young students" is more likely to arouse her empathy.
But on some occasions, this "sense of substitution" can also make her feel embarrassed and dilemma.
For example, a communication article about the mutual vendetta between the western colonists and the indigenous Asa people, although the author's political stance is leaning towards the colonists, many details describing the brutality and cruelty of the natives have been added to the article, such as the "headhunting" According to the custom, Joan still cannot fully substitute for the colonists, and cannot hate the aborigines like the invaders.
The aboriginals may be really brutal and cruel, and they really slaughtered a lot of white colonists, even women and children, but what did the colonists do? Why do they appear on this piece of land that belongs to the indigenous people? Did someone invite them to colonize?
Yu Qing, Qiao Ann is a descendant of colonists and he is also white. He was born and raised on the east coast of the New World where white colonists dominate. He cannot sympathize with colonists who have the same skin color, language and cultural background as him, and he knows them well. Leaving one's hometown to find a living in this unfamiliar continent is nothing more than to find a place to settle down and support his family.
However, this land already has a master. Isn't the so-called colonial movement essentially a robbery act?
Yu Li, Qiao An can’t sympathize with the experience of the aborigines. The entire history of the colonization of the New World in the old world for hundreds of years is a history of blood and tears of the aborigines. Shouldn’t they resist?
On one side are the compatriots of the same language and the same species, and on the other side are the insulted and harmed foreign races. According to your conscience, do you choose to "help reason" or "help relatives"?
