LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Chapter 294 Zu An’s Magic Book

Silas was a rebel, but not a revolutionary. This is what Levi said about him.

The discrimination and rejection he experienced since childhood made him completely devoted to the single identity of his mage identity, and the years of darkness in prison inevitably made his temperament become extreme and extreme.

The liberation he wanted to achieve was only the liberation of himself and his fellow mages.

As for the civilians of Demacia...

Let's put it this way, if Levi does not interfere, in the "future", the first major thing Silas will do after regaining his freedom is:

Luring the barbarians from the northern Freljord into the country, they burned, killed, looted, and marched all the way to the capital of Demacia.

Yes, barbarians...

To the common people, there are not many people in the world who can stretch their hips better than the noble Lord.

However, Silas was able to invite a group of even more heavyweight primitive slave tribes to let everyone taste the benefits of feudal society.

Obviously, he was a little confused.

"Little girl, you said that the Forbidden Demon Zheng Ce is just a ruling tool of the nobles. But what I have seen is that from bottom to top in Demacia, almost every Demacian is spontaneously against the Forbidden Demon Zheng Ce. fanatical following!”

"No one is forcing those civilians. But they just fear us, hate us, and regard us as damned devils!"

"Because mortals and mages are inherently different! They will not be our friends!"

Silas's more cathartic and resentful filial piety seemed to be more effective than Sona's previous lengthy theoretical propaganda.

Many mages present resonated with it and nodded secretly.

Yeah... Mortals are friends?

They only have to reflect a little on their own experiences to find it difficult to say yes.

"No, you are wrong." Sona tried to wake them up: "The civilians of Demacia do discriminate against mages, but where do their thoughts come from?"

In the beginning, it was a cultural tradition spontaneously formed by the ancestors of Demacia who had suffered greatly from the Rune Wars out of fear and hatred of magic.

But almost 1,000 years have passed since the Rune War.

Demacians in the past millennium have never experienced the pain of their ancestors. Why do they reject mages even more than their ancestors, and ban magic to an even more extreme degree?

"Because the forbidden demon Zheng Ce was formulated as a national policy by the nobles of Demacia a long time ago, and it has continued to develop to this day."

"It was under the subtle promotion of the royal family and nobles that the people formed this cultural tradition of extreme discrimination against mages."

"Think about it, should you blame the civilians of Demacia or the nobles for this matter?"

Sona works hard to help the mages understand who is the enemy and who is the friend.

What she said is not difficult to understand.

but...

"Miss Sona, we all understand what you said. But no matter who instigated it, these civilians are discriminating against us now, aren't they?" the mages questioned.

"..." Sona was speechless for a moment.

Because the attitude of the mages now is:

I understand the logic, but we don't accept your theory.

It's like a pigeon that looks bigger than a car in the distance...

This pigeon looks so big. Tell me why, it still looks so big.

"Alas." Sona sighed deeply.

In fact, Levi had already reminded her of the situation she was encountering now before she and Lux returned to Demacia.

Levi believes that the racial conflicts between mages and mortals are similar to the national conflicts between Zaun and Piltover, and the national conflicts between Demacia and Noxus that he has analyzed before.

These contradictions exist objectively. If you don't talk about theories and shout slogans, these contradictions will disappear immediately.

In fact, mages and mortals are inherently different.

In Demacia, due to the cultural traditions formed over hundreds of years, mortals have indeed formed a systematic oppression of mages.

"We pursue the ideal of international sovereignty, but we must also admit realistically:"

"Contradictions exist objectively."

“When the surrounding environment shows you racial, ethnic and national inequalities all the time, makes you feel the real oppression caused by different identities, and makes you face the fierce conflict between ideals and reality, then you are very vulnerable. It is difficult to hold on to ideals that are difficult to realize in the present.”

"Just like the Zaunites of old..."

"It's impossible for them to believe that Piltovers can be their friends when every Piltover they meet calls them gutter rats with the utmost contempt."

Sona thought about Levi's words.

"At this time, the effect of theoretical lectures is much worse."

"Even if many people can understand the theory, they will choose to embrace a narrow identity rather than the ideal of a leader under the education of objective reality."

So what to do?

In a world without demons, this wouldn't be a good idea.

After all, people’s consciousness is also different.

Some people are still able to "naively" adhere to their ideals even after being beaten by reality.

Most people, like Silas, can no longer accept ideals after recognizing reality. Even if they can understand Janna's thoughts.

For them, there is no better way than to do a good job in publicity and education and hope that everyone will wake up on their own.

but...

This is Runeterra, a place where gods and magic exist.

Here, the leader can transcend all identity boundaries in a practical sense and bring everyone together.

This thing that can unite everyone is:

"Faith." Finally, Sona said to the mages: "Under the faith of the goddess Janna, all people are equal..."

"You're kidding!" Silas interrupted angrily: "Equality? How is it possible?"

"Could it be that as long as we believe in your gods, mages and mortals will be the same?"

"Yes." Sona nodded seriously.

"Why?" Silas laughed: "Mages are naturally stronger than mortals, and mortals are naturally more powerful than mages. Why should we be equal? Why should we be the same?"

"By Janna." Sona said directly: "If anyone wants to create inequality, the goddess will destroy him."

Silas: "......"

This too candid statement made him, a stubborn person, unable to stand up.

"Huh!" But he still said stubbornly: "In the final analysis, it's just superficial equality!"

"Isn't this enough?" Sona replied confidently: "For ordinary people, superficial equality is enough."

"The leaders are people of faith. They will not only uphold equality in practical actions, but also abandon prejudices from the bottom of their hearts and treat people equally regardless of their identity."

"So in the land blessed by Janna, there will never be the kind of collective rejection of mages by mortals that you are worried about."

"..." Silas was speechless.

But he was still too stubborn to let go.

He still has the same attitude. He understood the truth, but he just couldn't let go of his hatred for Demacia.

Only mages are his compatriots he can trust. Civilians may not be enemies, but... if they are not of my race, their hearts must be different.

"Okay..." Sona sighed.

Chatting with this crazy person who has an extreme sense of identity, her reasoning doesn't make sense anyway.

Just have to be a little more practical.

"Mr. Silas, you think that only mages are your compatriots, right?"

"Of course!" Silas nodded heavily.

Sona didn't answer, but took out a book from her arms.

This book is not a "Brief Introduction to Janna's Thoughts", but:

"Actually, I only started learning magic recently. And this book is the magic textbook I brought from Zaun."

"If you are interested, take it and take a look."

"Oh?" Silas and the mages all looked confused.

They didn't understand why Sona was debating scriptures and suddenly started talking about magic without any clue.

But magic books are an absolutely rare contraband in Demacia, where magic is forbidden.

Many mages present have never received systematic magic education since their awakening, and have never had the opportunity to come into contact with the legendary magic books. They have relied on their own wild paths to find their way along the way.

So everyone was very interested in the magic book that Sona suddenly took out.

So Silas took the book on behalf of the mages.

Strangely, this book was noticeably different from any magical book he had seen before.

Generally, the covers of magic books are made of exquisite animal leather. The covers are either imprinted with gorgeous and complicated magic patterns, or they have a dark and simple style, giving people a mysterious and heavy feeling.

But this magic book is made entirely of the most ordinary printing paper, and the cover also has a childish cartoon bluebird printed on it.

I saw it read:

""Magic Control (Elective) Grade 6·Part 1""

"Zu'an Education Press."

Opening the title page, it clearly says:

"Price: 1 Silver Wheel."

Silas: "..."

Mages: "..."

They were stunned for a while, and then they asked quietly: "What does sixth grade... mean?"

"It's a textbook for 12-year-old primary school students," Sona said.

"?!" The mages were shocked and confused: "Is this something taught to children in Zaun?"

"Those mortal children, what's the use of learning this?"
