Chapter 154 Determination
Huge strips of stone were stacked together under the command of the wizards of the engineering team. Margery whispered to the leader what needed to be changed slightly.
These people who have just been liberated from a life of misery are more serious about their work than ordinary wizards. Although the progress is a bit slow due to the systematic learning of magic at the beginning, as long as they are normal people, no one will charge a low price for a group of serious people. The man who works loses his temper.
When Ma En and the two girls came back, the foundation of the place was almost done, and the people on the construction site were busy packing up tools and preparing to end the day's work.
"Marne," Margery smiled and walked over, pulled him aside, and whispered, "There is something wrong with the man in the gray clothes and the red plaid shirt behind."
"Old school?"
"No, it's an American."
Pretending to help Margery tidy up her hair, Ma En turned his head and glanced at the two people who had gathered together: "Don't worry about them for now. If we are in the upper hand, we may have a big boost in the future."
"What if we're at a disadvantage?"
"We will not be at a disadvantage," Ma En said softly in a voice that only his sister could hear. "The first truly organized army in the history of wizards, free and unorganized wizards, gathered for a common goal. How can we be at a disadvantage when we are together, and besides, there is me."
With soft eyes, Margery looked at the only person in the world whose heart she couldn't see: "Marn, are you ready to join the war?"
"Yes, I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to attend this grand banquet in person." Ma En stretched out a hand to the sky, and the red light of the setting sun fell on his face through his fingers, making him The whole person seemed a little psychedelic.
"Why, this doesn't look like your character." Margery hesitated, and finally asked a simple question.
"I am actually a person without any dreams, Margaery."
Ma En paused slightly and did not directly answer Margery's question: "Esther and I have very different personalities. Judging from the series of things we have encountered since the last school year, she seems to be a very different person." I am a gentle, but actually very decisive person, very different from me, but the reason why we have been together for so long and plan to stay together forever is because our two biggest dreams are to live our own lives in peace and contentment. That’s all.”
Margery did not ask further questions, but listened to him quietly. She knew that he would always reveal the reasons.
"But this won't work, my sister..."
After Ma En took a long breath, he continued: "I'm not afraid of anything, and I don't care about anything. But what about our children in the future? According to the development of human science and technology, we may be killed even before they grow up. I realized that if I wait until that day and decide what to do, it will be too late..."
"But when you step onto the frontal battlefield, the nature of this war changes. Ma En, have you ever thought about this issue?"
Hermione and Esther did not come to disturb this rare brother-sister conversation. Instead, they sat on the steps next to the large bathhouse by the black lake and talked about nothing. From time to time, laughter came from them.
Watching the engineering team that had packed up their things leave, Ma En answered Margery's question: "Of course I know that once I enter the frontal battlefield, this war will become a bloodless game on our side, which will bring great consequences to the aftermath of the war. The mental impact of the wizards will be weakened accordingly, but this is not the reason for me to watch. I believe that everything can be solved with education, and education requires someone. Also, old Walder is too old. Maybe one day in the future, he will suddenly lose energy, and even suffer something because of it..."
Marn didn't say the next words, but there was no need to say them. Margaery could understand them.
"Anyway... think about it. It's not only you who are grateful to Walder, but also me. But we can't protect him only to destroy his dream in the end."
After Margery finished speaking, she thought for a moment and added the last sentence: "What Mr. Walder pursues is never a simple system change, but more of a perfect product after the collision of ideas."
She gently hugged Marn, who had rapidly grown in height in front of her and was no longer much shorter than herself, and greeted Hermione and Esther to go back to the tea house for dinner.
Until after dinner and bathing and lying on the bed, Marn was still thinking about Margery's words. Esther lay quietly on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. After a long silence, Finally asked:
"My dear, you don't seem happy. Did you have something wrong with your sister?"
Ma En gently stroked her smooth hair and said slowly: "No, we just have some differences about an issue."
"If this matter is not confidential and you are willing, you can tell me. Even if I can't come up with any ideas, I can at least be a listener."
"It's nothing."
Ma En slowly told Esther everything that happened before dinner. She listened to Ma En's words quietly, and finally remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:
"I know you respect Professor Walder very much, and so do I, and so does Hermione, but... we cannot let the wizarding world fall into a protracted war for one person's dream. I believe that Professor Walder himself is not willing to see such a result. .”
"Then what do you think, Esther." Ma En looked down at the girl. Although she said that she might not be able to help with anything, it was just a polite word. Among all the people Ma En knew, Esther's IQ belongs to the highest class of people, but she always habitually hides her intelligence and only reveals her soft appearance to the world.
"Marn, go ahead, do whatever you have to do, and resolve this matter as quickly as possible. Then we will take our friends and find a place with beautiful scenery to hide in seclusion. Mr. Walder can activate A war of unprecedented scale, then he will definitely be able to solve the problems in the minds of the wizards."
"What if he can't solve it?"
"Then get rid of the people who can't change, and let people get used to the future world by passing it on from generation to generation."
"But this will also kill people."
"It will be a lot less."
Ma En finally laughed. No matter what, it had to be done before talking.
but…
"Esther, please don't move your knees, you may rub them... We are still young, if you can't help it..."
"That's mine! I can rub it as much as I want!"
