MTL - The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain-Chapter 46 Magic society
Four days later, Liu Feng and Jin Guang appeared in a small town on the border of the Amara Basin. In addition to Liu Feng and Jin Guang, there were three abilities in their team: Ryan who mastered the flame wolf, Tony who was possessed by Li Anping, and Ivan from the ice castle.
They were accompanied by three sociologists, economists and military experts.
In the town, although their clothes are as worn and rough as ordinary civilians, their relatively delicate skin, tall and strong body, and confident eyes distinguish them from the town's residents.
An economist, Frant, rubbed his eyes, because he was a near-sighted person. This inspection activity brought invisible eyes, and I felt a bit uncomfortable.
He and Liu Feng aside said: "According to our observations during this time, they still stay in the era of using animal power, but because of the existence of magic, their agriculture is extremely developed and they do not need to worry about the existence of any natural disasters. This makes them The food problem was completely solved, but their commodity economy did not develop ... "
Lauren, a sociologist on the side, added: "Because their society naturally has a class, that is the magician. Compared to our capable people, the society here has developed earlier and stronger because of magic. Dependence is also much stronger. Agriculture, construction, military, etc. all need to rely on the power of magicians.
And because magic can solve everything, no one develops science. "
Feng Feng nodded: "So civilians without magic ability have become parasites attached to magicians, and can be discarded at any time. Even if there are no civilians, magicians here can survive on their own."
The people beside him nodded. Through the observations of these days, they already know that the world in front of them, which is somewhat similar to the Middle Ages, is a seriously deformed society.
The food plants were magically transformed and all were planted uniformly on previously planned and transformed land. The only thing farmers need to do is plant and harvest.
All the buildings in the town were built by the next mage, and almost all of them were boxy in the same style, just like the brown linen clothes worn by civilians. For the mage. Civilians are just a consumable, used to reduce the consumption of some magic.
All the daily necessities and food are basically evenly distributed by the mage, and the civilians are raised like pigs.
Those without magical talents are civilians, and those with magical talents are inherently superior.
The wizards that civilians can do naturally can do it, and the wizards that civilians cannot do can do it.
On the mainland of Mondo, the mage is a first-class person, and other civilians can only become warriors if they want to get ahead. Or have some special talents, such as soldiers, officials, chefs, etc., this is considered second-class.
Those who do not have useful skills for mages are civilians. It's the third class. They must obey the Master's arrangements unconditionally and engage in more than ten months of labor in a year before they can be allocated materials sufficient to ensure their survival.
As for the fourth lowest class, they are the captives, criminals, aliens, etc. of the defeated nations. They are considered slaves, almost equivalent to beast-like beings. Can be traded and killed arbitrarily.
And facing such a life. Civilians who possess only medieval force have no power to resist. As long as the most ordinary superior mage opens the protective force field, he will not be harmed in any way even if he stands there for civilians to attack.
The so-called change of dynasties is nothing more than a group of mages and officials to rule.
Feng Feng and others looked at the civilians on the street, and they could only see numbness and hollowness from their eyes. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, they live their lives day after day.
No internet, no toilets. No lights, no TV.
Most of them will never leave their village or town for the rest of their lives.
They are almost illiterate and never have any innovative ideas, because almost all the innovations they can think of today, magic can be done, and they can do better.
And thousands of years of rule have long tamed all civilians like sheep.
Liu Feng tried to change his face. Talk to some civilians and discuss scientific, political, and financial issues with them. For example, the earth may be round. On what basis does the mage naturally rule civilians, or borrow a little money for trading or the like.
But the civilians who talked to him might be surprised by Liu Feng's remarks at first, but after being curious, after a few words, they would run out of interest and leave, returning to their daily life again. It's as if they have a huge inertia behind them.
Some even report to local officials to report the reactionary comments of 'Liu Feng'.
Because the mage is not only ruling them, but also their omnipotent.
Sick, just pray for the mage.
After the earthquake, just pray for the mage.
The crop is not long, just pray to the mage.
Perhaps a few people in history have awakened and wanted to break the situation before them, but they will soon be overwhelmed by the kind of people around them, and finally everyone will return to their numb life.
"Hoo ~" Jin Guang exhaled and looked at the buildings made of mud around. These are all houses made of soil, which should not last long according to mechanical principles, but because of magic, they exist here.
Jin Guang's brow frowned: "It's a hell-like world." He thought he would rather die if he was born in this world.
Compared with poverty, hardship, numbness, and ignorance, the state of being ignorant and numb to one's own consciousness and feeling satisfied is even more terrifying.
Liu Feng looked at a store in front and said, "There is a restaurant in front. Let's take a rest and collect some information by the way."
Aside, Frant said: "It seems that other information is not needed. It is mainly the information of the army and the mage. I am afraid that this information cannot be easily obtained."
Watson, a military expert who has rarely spoken on the other side, said: "And from the information we have now, the army here is either a mage or no combat force. With zero vacuum energy, they are early. After thousands of years, it has endless energy, but it lacks the corresponding ideological and spiritual levels to create this deformed social structure. "
"Anyway try it again." Liu Feng finished and went into the shop.
In the currency system of the Continent, civilians still use ancient metal currencies. In terms of the technological level of the earth, this humble metal currency is naturally very easy to counterfeit.
Before coming here, the alliance counterfeited a bunch of them for Liu Feng's use based on Jonah's memory.
But even with a lot of money, in this backward ancient society, they don't use much money.
Looking at the wheat cakes and black bread placed on the table, Jin Guang, Liu Feng and others all showed helpless looks.
The lack of support from modern industries, coupled with the standard of living of civilians.
The food here is simply shabby. Of course, this may also be due to the fact that the town where Liu Feng is located is not prosperous.
Anyway, the lack of support for various additives and seasonings ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ The bread and oatmeal in front of me is really too hard to swallow for Jinguang and others.
Feeling something as rough as a trunk rubbing his throat and slowly swallowing it, Tony's brow also wrinkled.
Sociologist Flander stood up: "I'm going to the toilet." Seeing Liu Feng nodded, he walked towards the door.
Of course, he didn't really want to go to the toilet, but he wanted to find a place where no one would use his own dry food for lunch. Compared to the food in front of them, the compressed dry food provided by the military has also become a gourmet.
However, it was to blend into the social system of the Mongolian continent, and Liu Feng did not bring too much dry food. Fran now eats a little bit less.
Finding a corner casually, Flander controlled the nano-armor and took out the dry food placed in the storage belt.
But just as he wanted to eat dry food, a dark shadow appeared behind Flander. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read.)
