Start a core cabin

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Under the cloudy sky, there was a loud thunder.

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

Hearing the sound, the blond girl lying on the bed trembled suddenly, sat up and 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 Raton.

It's just that at this moment, she no longer has the usual arrogance and arrogance, but her face is pale, haggard, and terrified.

Saham's body was placed in a park in a level 1 urban area, his head was inserted on a stake, and the murderer left a letter explaining why Saham was killed. It's because he turned into a knight with a sword, killing level 2 citizens wantonly, and he deserves to die!

For this matter, most of the high-level officials don't pay attention to it. After all, many high-level noble officials in Seth have similar behaviors, but it's just that a fool like Saham ran to the second-level urban area to die. , they were the first to see it. So in the eyes of Seth senior officials, Saham is just like everyone else, because he wants to have fun, he often walks by the river and falls down and drowns.

But Amy knew that this game of knights with swords was actually thought up by herself, and Saham, as her fiancé, just wanted to help the leader!

Because of this, when the news of Saham's killing came out, Amy was always terrified. Although others didn't know, she knew that she was the culprit. You know, Saham is still her fiancé, that's why she pleases herself so much. Fortunately, his father didn't know that Saham died to play with him, otherwise, I'm afraid their family's life would not be easy.

But even so, she was still terrified. Although she lived in the safest place in a level 1 urban area, her father assured her that there would be no problems with the protection of the security team. But Amy, who had a guilty conscience, still locked herself in the room alone, and her father only thought that Amy was hit by the news that her fiancé was killed, so she didn't think much about it.

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

So she stayed at home like this, not daring to go out, but even so, Amy's life was not easy. After all, Saham is her fiancé, and she died because of her "game". Although killing people is nothing new to Amy, she has watched her fiancé kill those level 2 citizens several times, But to Amy, those level 2 citizens are nothing. But Saham is different. He is his fiancé, and he is an acquaintance. Even if the relationship between the two parties is not that deep, witnessing the murder of someone he knows is different from the murder of a stranger.

In fact, Amy has always had nightmares these days. She dreamed that Saham, whose head had been twisted, came to her door and asked her why she didn't come to save herself, and pointed at her and shouted, "It's all your fault, you want to save me?" Pay me!"

Amy was so scared that she didn't sleep well for several days.

I don't know why, but she always feels... vaguely uneasy, as if something bad is about to happen around her.

At the same time, in the camp of the rebel organization, Duanmu Huai was giving a lecture to Uluze—or, the leader of the rebel organization wanted to ask Duanmu Huai whether the current situation of the Seth Kingdom is any good solution.

In addition to Uluze, Kanami Kanami and Moxiang Shizuka also joined in the fun, after all, they also wanted to hear what Duanmuhuai could say. In addition to them, Xun and the old doctor also wanted to hear what Duanmuhuai had to say for different purposes.

However, Duanmu Huai's first sentence surprised everyone.

"Strictly speaking, there are legitimate reasons for Level 1 citizens to look down on Level 2 citizens."

"Why?"

Needless to say, this surprised everyone.

Level 1 citizens discriminate against level 2 citizens, is there any valid reason?

"Do you still remember what the man named Saham said before?"

Duanmu Huai looked at Kanami Tonami and Shizuka Moxiang, who nodded.

"Of course I remember. The man said that in front of the first-level citizens, the second-level citizens are no different from beasts. He is only here to destroy monsters, and it is not a crime at all..."

Speaking of this, Tokanami also showed a disgusted expression, and Maxiang Shizuka also nodded.

However, Duanmuhuai's next answer startled them again.

"Actually, he was right."

"grown ups???"

Uluze only felt that his ears were not working well, was this helping them? Or are you hurting them?

"Let me review the legal regulations of Seth Kingdom for you again...Let's leave it to this old gentleman to explain."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at the old man in a white coat standing beside Uluze.

"Please repeat the difference between the first-level citizens and second-level citizens of Seth Kingdom."

"OK."

Although the old doctor didn't know what Duanmuhuai wanted to say, he still nodded and spoke.

"Level 1 citizens enjoy privileges, and at the same time they also have the obligation to pay taxes, recruit soldiers, and provide 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."

"This is where the problem lies."

Duanmuhuai nodded, while the others still looked puzzled.

"question?"

"That's right, haven't you seen it yet? Although level 1 citizens have privileges, they have to pay taxes, conscription and mana supply. Although level 2 citizens have no privileges, they do not have the above obligations—in short, 1 A considerable part of the taxes paid by the first-level citizens is to support the second-level citizens, and the second-level citizens basically don’t have to do anything to be raised by the first-level citizens... To be honest, I don’t even understand the operation of the Seth Kingdom... ..."

"ah…………!"

Hearing this, everyone seemed to react.

"So you mean..."

"That's right, to put it simply, Level 1 citizens need to work and work hard, but Level 2 citizens need to work hard, but Level 2 citizens can live poorly even if they don't need to work, and they won't be appointed to work... ... To be honest, if it weren't for the poor living environment of the second-level citizens, I would have wondered which side is the uncle."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands as he spoke.

To be honest, when he first heard about it, Duanmu Huai thought he had a bad ear and misheard. Generally speaking, this kind of class differentiation is not without, but generally the lower classes are used as coolies or slaves. Even in ancient times, couldn't slaves be used to build pyramids?

However, these second-level citizens of Seth Kingdom do not need to work, and they can also receive food rations. Although there are not many people, they will not starve to death. And there is no compulsory labor that they have to do, and they are even given a place to live.

In other words, apart from being discriminated against, bullied and killed by level 1 citizens, as long as level 2 citizens lie flat at home, there is basically no problem.

Conversely, level 1 citizens may have privileges, but they must work hard, do military service, and pay taxes. In other words, when they work in 007 or 996, part of their salary has to be taxed to support level 2 citizens!

Take the city where the knife-wielding knight slashed people as an example. According to the old doctor, there are 100,000 level 1 citizens and 1.1 million level 2 citizens in that city.

In other words, 100,000 people support 1 million people.

Who can bear this shit?

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

You said that you let this group of poor people be slaves and hard labor, he can understand, after all, it is also a productive force, isn't it?

It turned out that they had no obligation, but they also had no right to work, and rations were issued to them.

Good guy, co-authoring this group of level 2 citizens can just do nothing and just have a baby, right?

Do you think this level 1 citizen can bear it?

People study hard, take exams hard, graduate hard, work hard to make money, and as a result, some of them have to "respect" the second-level citizens... Unless the first-level citizens are the Holy Mother, it is not right to look down on these parasites Should it?

Why don't other countries have this problem?

The reason is also very simple, even if people in other countries do not know magic, they can support themselves on their own. For example, those people Duanmuhuai met, it doesn't matter if they don't know magic, they can open a hotel, open a prop shop, or go to a restaurant as a maid, and it's not a big problem to support themselves, isn't it? Or be an adventurer?

So other countries don't have this kind of shit. Everyone supports themselves, and no one owes anyone.

But in Seth—these second-level citizens really owe the first-level citizens.

It's not that level 1 citizens work hard and serve as soldiers. Whether they can survive is still a matter of opinion.

This is like those high-welfare countries in modern society. People work hard and pay taxes, but when they look back at the homeless Nima on the street, they live more comfortably than themselves. Can this be tolerated?

So Duanmuhuai couldn't figure out what kind of mentally retarded circuit the Seth Kingdom was doing in the first place.

This is a 1:10 ratio.

Although the Kingdom of Seth has high productivity due to its developed magic, it's not so frustrating.

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

Who do you think is willing?

After Duanmuhuai explained this truth, everyone fell silent.

They didn't expect that what Duanmu Huai said... actually had his truth!

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

"........."

Now everyone is speechless. Before, they just thought that level 2 citizens were pitiful and level 1 citizens were domineering, but now they are placed in the position of level 1 citizens... I work by myself, and I have to support ten people I have never met. stranger?

Sorry to bother you, goodbye.

The donkeys in the production team are not squeezed like this.

This kind of situation also happens in modern times. For example, in some countries, young people even go to nursing homes to kill those old people, and call them "old people", because they think that these old people are useless and wasteful. Is it the money earned by their own hard work, and more importantly, these people are not their parents, they don't support their families? Why should these taxes be used to support outsiders?

If you don't pay taxes to do this, then we might have a better life!

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, thinking that these people might as well be dead if they waste their tax dollars.

This kind of thing happens in modern society ruled by law, so it is not so strange in a place like Seth.

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 job and no need to work, so what is the use of their life... Only God knows.

Is it just to teach more magicians to have children?

Are level 2 citizens poor? Poor is pitiful, with poor food, shabby clothes, poor housing, and being divided by class.

But... what is the use of them living?

They can't serve as soldiers and fight, they can't work, and they can't even do coolies.

So what is the meaning of their life?

In ancient times, even the tyrants knew that they could not kill their people at will. It is not because they are so wise, but even the stupid tyrants knew that someone had to plant land and pay for food. He killed them all. Could it be that he farmed the land every day? no?

But Seth is obviously not like this. This distorted and deformed system is also another reason why level 1 citizens don’t treat level 2 citizens as human beings, because... from the perspective of the country, level 2 citizens really can’t bear children. , It's useless!

They don't work, and they don't farm the land. If they kill them, they will kill them. So what if hundreds of thousands of people die? It doesn't affect Seth a penny!

This is why those high-ranking officials of Seth would come up with such a proposal that is ridiculous to outsiders, because in their view, it is not absurd at all, even if these level 2 citizens are dead, the country will not run It will be affected even a little bit. In this case, what difference does it make whether these level 2 citizens are alive or dead?

It's a little bit cleaner after death!

"In my opinion, this is the root of the class contradictions in the Kingdom of Seth, not as simple as the apparent contradiction between magicians and non-magicians."

Duanmu Huai clapped his hands and made a conclusion.

"From the perspective of level 1 citizens, they work hard and pay taxes, but they have to support idlers. Of course they are not happy. 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 Citizens, and the latter are of course unwilling to accept such absurd accusations from Level 2 citizens, so there is almost no room for reconciliation between the two parties."

One thinks that I have worked so hard to support you, and you still fucking hate me. What is the difference between me and a white-eyed wolf.

It is unacceptable for a person who feels that his life has no goal, no motivation, and is bullied all day long.

"So... so, whose fault is it?"

Hearing this, Uluze was stunned. Her initial ideals were pure. She thought it was unfair for level 2 citizens to be bullied, and it was wrong for magicians to bully ordinary people. That's why she wanted to resist all of this. But she didn't expect that there was such a problem behind it.

"It's a systemic problem."

Duanmuhuai directly gave the final answer.

"In other countries, where is there such a thing, whether it is a free city or Lisas, even if they are not magicians, people can find their own jobs and ways of living. This is not only their way of living, but also forms a A check and balance of power. Because these people have infiltrated every corner of the country, the operation of the country 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 a way to appease and give them Part of the interest is to prevent the country from losing control. If you don’t believe me, ask Kanami and Shizuka, if Lisas and the Liberty City Alliance suddenly say that they want to kill all non-magicians, among other things, can their country continue to operate? ?”

Hearing this, both of them shook their heads, this is definitely impossible! Even if it doesn't provoke a civil uprising, if all non-magicians are killed, the country will definitely shut down immediately.

"But, why only Seth has this kind of system?"

Uluze still didn't understand, but Duanmuhuai shrugged.

"I'm not sure about this. As long as the crux of the problem is clear, then it may be that... Seth, as the magic kingdom, wants to ensure that magicians are naturally superior, so he uses this stupid strategy. Look, I As I said before, once non-magic civilians infiltrate every corner of the country, in order to ensure its stable operation, the country must give some benefits to the civilians to appease them. But Seth doesn’t need to do this, so The advantage of doing 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 there are not many level 2 citizens. But Once the number of people increases, then the problem will naturally come..."

After all, even if you raise pigs, you can kill them and eat them. You, a level 2 citizen, are not even as good as pigs...

Think how angry a farmer would be if he raised a farm of pigs and couldn't sell them.

"boom!!"

However, before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise, and everyone looked around suspiciously. Behind them, a black-haired girl turned red, stood up tremblingly, and even fell over the chair!

"Xun? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that the assistants in her rebellion organization were so excited, Wuluze was quite surprised, and Xun seemed to have reacted to Wuluze's question, but she saluted Wuluze instead.

"Sorry, I thought of something very important, sorry for my apologies!"

After saying this, Xun turned around and left in a hurry.

What's up with her?

Seeing Xun's departure, everyone also looked puzzled, not knowing what was going on.

At this moment, Xun's face flushed red and his heart beat faster.

As a member of the undercover resistance organization sent by the king, Xun knew very well that the king has been troubled by the problems between the first-level citizens and the second-level citizens, but he couldn't think of any good solution. But today, after hearing Duanmu Huai's explanation, she was suddenly enlightened, enlightened, and her eyes lit up.

I see! It turns out that the problem of Seth Kingdom lies here! ! !

She must report this matter to the king at once! ! !
