Chapter 621 Attitude towards Magic
The meeting of the new king is over. Some of the lords from various places have returned to their own territories, while others will stay in Jingyao for a while.
In the palace, Rodney XVIII summoned the ministers who had great influence on the kingdom's policies.
"Everyone, the first country to recognize the legal status of wizards has appeared. What impact may this have on the world? How should we Aldo respond?"
Palace Prime Minister Rupert Squinting his eyes, he looked at Paul Grayman sitting opposite him.
This young northwest aristocrat sat next to Her Royal Highness Catherine with some restraint, perhaps because he was a little uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment.
Graiman's appearance here surprised Rupert.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable. He was Princess Catherine's fiancé, and it was appropriate for the king to allow him to attend such high-level meetings out of respect.
He glanced at Princess Catherine next to Paul, and felt a pang of regret in his heart.
He had watched Catherine grow up. She was such an outstanding woman, but because of the exclusivity of power, she had to marry to the Northwest Bay.
If only she were a boy.
Rupert complained a little about the new king Rodney XVIII. He didn't discuss such a big matter with his veterans first before marrying a princess.
Strictly speaking, Rodney XVIII had actually discussed it with them, and he and Catherine found them together.
But this is more like going through a process out of respect for the minister.
The sophisticated Rupert could tell at a glance that the two siblings had already made a private agreement, and judging from Catherine's unenthusiastic attitude, it was definitely the king who convinced his sister through both soft and hard tactics.
Later, Catherine separately summoned the veterans of their class who had been left behind by the previous king, and stated her position in a sincere manner, and asked them to serve her cousin wholeheartedly and not to have other ideas.
Although many people are not convinced, at this stage, this is the only way to go.
"Your Majesty!" The first person to speak was Lord Walsh Mackey.
“I think the kingdom should immediately sever official ties with the Principality of Eton. Not to mention that wizards and magic have always been evil images in the minds of the world. If we continue to be friendly with Eton, we will receive strong pressure from the Holy See. Pressure."
He glanced at the crowd and said, "I think you all saw how angry the Holy See envoy was at the meeting?"
Many people present nodded in agreement with Earl McGee's point of view.
“I disagree!”
Rupert looked at Walsh McGee and retorted: “If we sever official ties with Eaton based on this alone, how could Aldo We are not becoming a vassal of the Holy See. We are an independent country.”
“And the Holy See hasn’t started to accuse us yet. If we try to please them in a panic, other countries will laugh. "
Rupert has a very bad impression of Walsh McGee. It is said that this Walsh McGee is one of the important promoters behind the princess's engagement.
A villain who played a conspiracy also appeared here.
But there is no way, who told him to be the person brought by the new king.
"As far as I know..." Count Adela, another person brought by the new king, said, "during Giles' rebellion, there seemed to be traces of witchcraft among the rebels. "
He looked at the Minister of Intelligence, "Count Morin, am I right?"
Count Morin nodded, "There have indeed been many things that we cannot explain with common sense. "Phenomenon." Count Adela said: "From this aspect, it seems that wizards should be our enemies."
When everyone thought he was going to express the same point of view as Earl McGee, he said: "But if this force is completely pushed against us, it seems to be very detrimental to us."< br>
"What do you mean? Do you want our great kingdom to associate with magic?"
"No! I mean, at least until the current crisis is resolved, try to establish as few enemies as possible, Especially some mysterious enemies."
"According to what I just said, the wizards are already on Giles' side."
"How do you know that all the wizards have gone to him? Isn't there another group in Eton?"
"It's probably the same group..."
Everyone was talking. Tongue, noisy into a ball.
Rodney XVIII had a headache. He glanced next to him and saw that his sister and brother-in-law were sitting upright and silent.
“What do you think?” he asked Catherine and Paul.
Catherine frowned her beautiful eyebrows slightly, "The Prime Minister is right, the independence of the kingdom should come first. Before our substantial interests are damaged, we must not rush to flatter the Holy See."
The king turned his attention to Paul.
“Ahem!” Paul originally wanted to sit back and watch the whole process, but since the king asked, he had to talk.
"Your Majesty, your attitude towards wizards and magic should be determined based on the impact this mysterious power can have on ordinary people in reality."
"Eton The new policy provides us with a good observation sample, maybe you should send more people to find out.”
"Observe, make statistics, and summarize. Whether this power will become our enemy or helper in the future, we should have a full understanding of it beforehand."
"Knowing the nature of magic may help It is difficult, but the appearance of magic can be seen with the eyes, and the impact it can have on ordinary people's lives without the suppression of the ruler."
"Like now, no. It is extremely undesirable to blindly fear or pursue magic not only in reality but in imagination.” After reading the various levels of data, you will draw a more correct conclusion, and the correct conclusion will help you make the right choice.”
Paul’s words made Rodney XVIII’s heart suddenly clear. .
Princess Catherine next to her also looked at Paul in surprise, with a softer look in her eyes.
"Listen to what you mean." The king said, "It seems that you want me to treat magic as a normal new thing."
"Yes, existence is reasonable, it Now that it has appeared, it is no longer a strange story, but it is a manifestation of the laws of our world."
"Okay! Thank you, Paul."< br>
Pa bang bang, Rodney XVIII patted the table in front of him.
Everyone who was arguing immediately stopped and turned their attention to the king.
