Me and my magician sister

Chapter 51 59. Memory: Will you become...?

The book was well wrapped in cowhide, and nothing was written on the cover.

Chen Yisheng got the book, put it in the drawer immediately, and in front of Ning Hong, cast a magic on it that forbids opening.

"That's the end of the business, there is still some time, let's catch up." Chen Yisheng glanced at his watch, and then took out a bottle of wine from the refrigerator.

"It's such a cold day, thanks to you still put the wine in the refrigerator." Ning Hong said with a smile.

"Hehe..." Chen Yisheng took out two wine glasses, poured a little into both glasses, and handed one of them to Ning Hong.

Ning Hong gulped it down.

"Drinking wine the way you drink beer is really yours." Chen Yisheng poured some more into Ning Hong's glass.

"It's okay, it's better than putting the wine in the refrigerator in winter." Ning Hong retorted unceremoniously.

"Wait, if you want to catch up on the past, it should be like this." Chen Yisheng put away the wine and glasses, and took out two cans of Sprite from the refrigerator.

"Don't worry, I won't think you are stingy." Ning Hong glanced aside.

"I still remember when I was in high school, the school rule was that no alcohol was allowed." Chen Yisheng gave Ning Hong a can of Coke.

"Why is this also made of ice?" Ning Hong felt a chill when he took it.

"Because it was taken out of the refrigerator." Chen Yisheng drank half a can of Coke in one breath, his stomach was frozen.

"Isn't it a rule of the Great Magic Empire not to drink alcohol? When did it become a school rule?" Ning Hong also drank a lot in one go, feeling the "refreshing feeling" brought to his body by the frozen carbonated drink.

"The 'Great Magic Empire' empire has disappeared. In fact, I am planning to completely delete the words 'Great Magic Empire' from the history books." Chen Yisheng said
"Isn't this tampering with history?" Ning Hong was a little shocked.

"Isn't history just a little girl who can be dressed up?" Chen Yisheng said naturally.

"I didn't expect you to do this." The shock in Ning Hong's heart has dissipated.

"This is also for better development in the future." Chen Yisheng explained.

"However, it is true that I have nothing to refute what you said." Ning Hong shook his head: "In history, there have indeed been many incidents of tampering with history."

"It shouldn't be many times. It should be commonplace to tamper with history."

"That's right, there are many things in the past that have been unclear."

"Why do you want to find out about the past?"

"It's a kind of... curiosity."

"Curiosity about the 'past'?"

"You can also say that, isn't there an idiom called 'taking history as a mirror'?"

"However, I don't think there is anything to learn from history."

"Eh? Why?"

"Isn't history all recorded by people?"

"Yes."

"People have feelings, and when recording history, some personal opinions will be more or less mixed in."

"That's right. After all, there is no emotionless machine dedicated to recording history."

“So, isn’t drawing from history the same as borrowing someone else’s personal perspective?”

"That's a little aggressive."

"Actually, in my ideal, it would be best to have no history."

"Without history, isn't it just denying the past? Is it really okay?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as a part of the history that is useful to the future society is preserved."

"I study law. In fact, I started to think about a problem when I was studying law."

"What's the problem? But as a magician, you chose to major in law. It's really a bit surprising."

"A lot of people were surprised."

"Is the law interesting?"

"It's boring. I have to memorize whole books of laws and regulations every day."

"Well, it's really boring, but it shouldn't be a problem for you who are more introverted."

"Very difficult."

"By the way, the topic you talked about just now seems to have been interrupted."

"Oh, yes, when I was studying law, one of the questions I thought about was: Law is a tool for the ruling class, so is history too?"

"I have been in politics for so many years, and I actually hold a negative attitude towards the phrase 'the law is a tool of the ruling class'."

"Really? Everything in the book will be out of date sooner or later."

"I think the law has now become a tool to restrain all kinds of people."

"That's right, your magic council is also firmly controlled by the law."

"Although the law is promulgated by us, the Magic Parliament itself contains different classes, so what is the ruling class now is also a headache."

"Simply put, the current ruling class no longer exists?"

"No, it would be more appropriate to say that all people have become the ruling class, which means the same anyway."

"Is this the power of democracy?"

"um, yes."

"Democracy now seems to only exist in the 'magic metropolitan area'."

"Well, according to my reform plan, everything is under control at this stage."

"Your reform plan? This is the first time I've heard of it."

"You are also the first to hear about it. In fact, I have already started this plan a long time ago."

"It seems that you are becoming more and more charismatic."

"Still a long way to go."

"By the way, what do you think about 'Is history a tool of the ruling class'?"

"In your words, the 'ruling class' no longer exists. Does that still hold?"

"I want to say, in the previous era, the era of the Great Magic Empire and so on."

"The sense of democracy at that time was never as strong as it is today."

"Yes, then, if you look at this sentence in that historical period, what would you think?"

"This should be viewed in different historical periods. In some historical periods, it is not a big problem to say so."

"Those historical periods were..."

"The time of the dictator. In the time of the dictator, history really becomes the tool of the dictator."

"So, are you going to be a dictator?"

……

Chen Yisheng fell silent.

Correspondingly, Ning Hong did not intend to break the deadlock, but quietly waited for Chen Yisheng's answer.

"Tick...tick..."

Quietly, even the sound of the watch can be heard clearly.

"If there is a last resort, even if the Magic Council is abolished, I will implement the reform plan." Chen Yisheng replied.

"That would be cast aside by the people." Ning Hong joked.

"A democracy fighter must have such awareness." Chen Yisheng could not hear any joke in his tone.

Ning Hong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"Understood, Mr. Democracy Warrior." Ning Hong had a satisfied smile on his face.
