Chapter 385 Core Contradiction(1/2)

“Boom, boom, boom——!!!”

Under the cloudy sky, thunder roared loudly.

The howling wind mixed with the heavy rain blew and hit the windows, making a "crackling" sound.

Hearing the noise, the blond girl lying on the bed suddenly trembled, sat up, looked around, and then let out a long breath.

This blond aristocratic girl is none other than Amy, the daughter of Seth's senior official Laton.

However, at this moment, she no longer had her usual arrogant and domineering look, but her face was pale, haggard, and frightened.

Saham's body was placed in a park in the Level 1 Civic District, and his head was stuck on a wooden stake. The murderer also left a letter specifically explaining the reason why Saham was killed. It was because

He transformed into a sword-wielding knight and massacred level 2 citizens, deservedly dying!

Most of the senior officials did not take this matter seriously. After all, many high-ranking aristocratic officials in Seth had similar behaviors, but they were so stupid as Saham that he went to the second-level citizen area to die.

, they were just the first to see it. So in the opinion of Senior Officer Seth, Saham was just like everyone else, because he wanted to have fun, so he often walked by the river and fell in and drowned.

But Amy knew that this game of knights with swords was actually her own idea, and Saham, as her fiancé, just wanted to help!

Because of this, when the news of Saham's murder came out, Amy has been terrified. Although others don't know, she knows that she is the culprit. You know, Saham is still her fiancé.

That's why he pleased himself so much. Fortunately, his father didn't know that Saham died just to play with him. Otherwise, their family's life would not be easy.

If level 1 citizens are not working hard and serving as soldiers, there is no telling whether they will survive.

Who can bear this?

To be honest, Duanmuhuai didn't understand what the original builder of the Seth Kingdom was thinking.

"ah…………!"

None of the donkeys in the production team were exploited like this.

"But why is it that only Seth has this kind of system?"

"grown ups???"

"That's the problem."

Of course, this is also related to Seth's system. Level 2 citizens have no rights, but they also have no obligations. As a result, they have no work and no need to work, so what is the use of their lives... Only God knows

.

"question?"

"So what you mean is..."

"Why?"

This is a ratio of 1:10.

You said that if you let these poor people be slaves and do hard labor, they would understand. After all, they would be productive, right?

As a result, they had no obligations, but they also had no right to work, and rations were issued to them.

However, Duanmu Huai's next answer shocked them again.

Wuluze felt that his ears were no longer working. Was he helping them? Or was he harming them?

"Actually, what he said is right."

To be honest, when he first heard about it, Duanmu Huai thought he had something wrong with his ears and heard it wrong. Generally speaking, this kind of class differentiation is not absent, but generally the lower classes are used to work as coolies or slaves. Even in

In ancient times, the worst slaves could be used to build pyramids, right?

However, these level 2 citizens of the Seth Kingdom do not need to work and can receive rationed food. Although it is not much, they will not starve to death. Moreover, there is no forced labor that they must do, and they are even given a special place to live.

"I don't know about this. As long as we know the crux of the problem, then it may be that... Seth, as a magic kingdom, wants to ensure that magicians are naturally superior to others, so they use this stupid strategy. You see, I

As I said before, once civilians without magic penetrate into every corner of the country's operation, in order to ensure its stable operation, the country must give some benefits to the civilians to appease them. But Seth does not need to do this, so

The advantage of this is also obvious, that is, they don't have to worry about the thoughts of level 2 citizens at all, and level 2 citizens have no influence on the country. Of course, this is not a big problem when the number of level 2 citizens is not large. However,

Once the number of people increases, problems will naturally arise..."

And Amy didn't dare to explain this matter to her father. After all, if her father knew that Saham died because of her, he would be in big trouble!

Duanmuhuai spread his hands as he spoke.

Who do you think is willing?

After Duanmuhuai explained this truth, everyone fell silent.

"………………"

This kind of situation also happens in modern times. For example, in some countries, young people even go to nursing homes to kill the elderly and call it "the harm of old age" because they truly believe that these elderly people are useless and wasteful.

It's money earned through hard work, and more importantly, these people are not their parents, and they don't support their families themselves? Why should these taxes be used to support outsiders?

If you don't pay taxes to do this, then maybe our lives will be better!

Of course, in addition to this, there are also people who kill homeless people for fun, or push them off the railroad tracks, generally for similar reasons. They feel that these people are either wasting their tax dollars and would be better off dead.

On the other hand, Level 1 citizens may have privileges, but they must work hard, perform military service, and pay taxes. In other words, when they work as 007 or 996, part of their remuneration must be paid in taxes to support Level 2 citizens!

In other words, apart from being discriminated against, tortured and killed by level 1 citizens, level 2 citizens basically have no problems as long as they lie down at home and don't move.

The reason is also very simple. People in other countries can support themselves even if they don't know magic. For example, those people Duanmu Huai met don't have to worry about magic. They can open a hotel, a prop shop, or go to a restaurant.

Being a maid or something and supporting yourself is no big deal, right? Or maybe becoming an adventurer?

So other countries don’t have this kind of mess. Everyone supports themselves and no one owes anyone anything.

Although the Seth Kingdom has high productivity due to its developed magic, it is not so easy.

"From the perspective of level 1 citizens, they work hard and pay taxes, but they have to support idle people. Of course they are unhappy. For level 2 citizens, they have no other goals in life except to live, so they can only vent their resentment of being abused to level 1

The latter is of course unwilling to accept such ridiculous accusations from Level 2 citizens, so there is almost no room for reconciliation between the two parties."

"Bang!!"

Are Level 2 citizens pitiful? They are pitiful. They don’t eat well, wear shabby clothes, live in poor housing, and are divided by class.

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai looked at the old man in a white coat standing next to Uluze.

"So, what Saham said is not unreasonable. In the eyes of many level 1 citizens, level 2 citizens are similar to the pets they raise, and they may not necessarily keep them willingly..."

"So...in this case, whose fault is it?"

Take the city where the stabbing incident of a knight with a sword occurred. According to the old doctor, there were 100,000 level 1 citizens in that city and 1.1 million level 2 citizens.

"Level 1 citizens have privileges, and they also have the obligation to pay taxes, recruit soldiers, and supply magic power. Level 2 citizens have no privileges, but they also have no obligations. They can only live under the protection of level 1 citizens."

In fact, Amy has been having nightmares these days. She dreamed that Saham, who had his head twisted off, came to the door and asked her why she didn't come to save him. He also pointed at her and shouted, "It's all your fault. You want to

Pay it to me!"

However, the first words Duanmu Huai said surprised everyone.

People work hard to study, study hard, graduate, work hard to make money, and as a result, some of them have to "respect" level 2 citizens... Unless the level 1 citizens are holy mothers, it is wrong to look down on these parasites.

Should it?

Why don’t other countries have this problem?

"OK."

After hearing this, everyone seemed to react.

"In other countries, where would such nonsense exist? Whether it is Free City or Lisas, even if they are not magicians, people can still find their own jobs and ways of living. This is not only their way of living, but also forms a way for them to live.

A check and balance of power. Because these people have penetrated into every corner of the country, the country's operation must also rely on them. In this case, even if these people are not magicians and do not have strong force, the country must find ways to appease and provide them with

Part of the interests are to prevent the country itself from losing control. If you don’t believe it, ask Kanami and Shitsuka, if Lisas and the Free City Alliance suddenly said that they would kill all non-magicians, if nothing else, would their country still be able to function?

?”

Good guy, why don't you just let this group of level 2 citizens do nothing but just have children?

Do you think these level 1 citizens can tolerate it?

So she stayed at home and didn't dare to go out, but even so, Amy's life was not easy. After all, Saham was her fiancé, and he died because of her "game", although for Amy

She said that killing people was nothing new. She had watched her fiancé kill those level 2 citizens several times, but to Amy, those level 2 citizens were not people. But Saham was different, he was himself

My fiancé is an acquaintance. Even if the relationship between the two parties is not that deep, it still feels different to witness someone you know being killed than a stranger being killed.

I have to say, this surprised everyone.

Hearing this, both of them shook their heads. This is definitely impossible! Even if it doesn't trigger a civil uprising, if all non-magicians are killed, the country will definitely come to a standstill.

They also didn't expect that what Duanmu Huai said... actually made sense!

At the same time, in the camp of the resistance organization, Duanmuhuai was giving a lecture to Uluze - or in other words, the leader of the resistance organization wanted to ask Duanmuhuai whether there was anything good about the current situation in the Seth Kingdom.

solution.

"I'm sorry, I thought of something very important. Please forgive me for being rude!"

This is equivalent to one level 1 citizen working hard to support 10 level 2 citizens.

Duanmuhuai nodded, while the others still looked confused.
