Chapter 1309: Delusional
Most of Sein’s speech had already been predetermined, and he had even submitted a copy of it to the Magus Alliance in advance.
Mayne had told him he was free to speak within a “limited” scope.
Exactly how limited was something Sein would have to find out for himself.
He chose to address the demihuman issue mainly because, for tens of thousands of years, the status of demihumans in Magus World had never been secure.
Even the sea races had their own mermaid overlord to speak for them, yet the demihumans remained third-class citizens.
But Sein went further, speaking on the divisions within the demihuman race itself.
“Nowadays, there are more and more demihumans in our Magus Alliance, and some clearly carry the bloodlines of our Magus World. Yet, simply because they were born in other worlds, they are not recognized by our Magus Civilization. It is my hope that this assembly will recalibrate the definitions regarding demihumans and ensure proper rights for all creatures of Magus World blood.”
His words sent two separate waves of uproar rippling through the venue.
The first issue, concerning demihumans’ rights within Magus World, was fairly acceptable. It drew attention mainly from native Magus World creatures, while the foreign delegates watched on with mild curiosity.
But his second point touched upon the interests of many allied planes, especially those led by humanoid races.
Take Beastmen World, for example. Many half-beastmen carried Magus World human bloodlines. If Sein’s proposal passed, would that not trigger a sudden influx of half-beastmen becoming citizens of the Magus World?
That would be so crazy!
