Gold is Justice

After seeing the eyes of his sweetheart, the young man outside the door became more determined, and he still knelt outside so firmly.

Airl exhaled, then nodded lightly: "Then boss... tell me the truth, what are your real thoughts...?"

The innkeeper's eyes suddenly dodged for a while, but after a while, as if he was completely desperate, he nodded slightly at Airl, poked his head over, and whispered in Airl's ear, "To be honest, I'm really I don't want my daughter to go with that poor boy. If marrying the mayor can help our town recover, then I... also think that maybe it's not bad..."

That said, but when the boss's head was drawn back, Arrow stared into his eyes again.

Obviously, the boss' eyes dodged again.

For the small town?

Ah, that's certainly a reason too.

But another way of thinking, if the daughter married the only mayor with magic power in this small town, would it mean that she would also raise her class in one go?

Of course, looking at the little bit of anticipation in the innkeeper's dodging eyes, Airl didn't expose it.After all, this kind of thinking is normal, and Airl has no intention of being a moral guard.

"That's it, I understand."

Airl nodded slightly, the smile on his face continued to emerge——

"Then boss, where is the ox cart we reserved yesterday?"

The others were all a little surprised when they saw that their president wanted the bullock cart again after talking about it for so long.But the innkeeper, with a slightly relieved attitude, smiled and said: "My brother stayed in the next town last night. He may come back today...but please rest assured, today's accommodation fee will be paid by me." I don’t count you guys, I’m really sorry.”

Airl didn't care either, he nodded and asked everyone to pack up and go back to the second floor to rest.And he himself didn't care about the expressions on the faces of so many members behind him, and went upstairs on his own, setting an example.

Of course, this matter cannot end like this.

After all the members went up to the second floor with all kinds of small thoughts...

"Do you think I'm too cold-blooded and ruthless? Do you think I don't even try to solve such a simple relationship between good and evil?"

In the room, Coco was the most excited.And when Airl said these words, he was looking at this young necromancer with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Coco puffed her cheeks, but didn't speak.On the other hand, the Suta next to her seemed a little unbearable now. She took a step forward and said, "President, that... Although I have joined Song of the Mermaid for a relatively short time, more or less, I think our guild should also be a ...Is it a good guild? Although we haven't heard what the mayor said, but if I really want to demand myself with the moral standards of a paladin... I'm afraid... there is really no way to just leave it like this , heading to the capital as if nothing happened."

Ai Luo showed a nonchalant look, after thinking for a while, the smile on her face gradually eased, and she said, "What do you think is the most critical issue in the incident that happened here in Xueyan Town? "

Margaux raised her hand, looked at her fingernails, and said with a relaxed face, "Is there any need to talk about it? Isn't it just a magician relying on his own magic power to bully the ordinary people here~~~"

Ai Luo smiled and narrowed his eyes: "It's a pity, I was wrong~~~"

The corner of Margo's mouth twitched suddenly, she turned her head and looked at her president with a very incredible look.

Brad rubbed the back of his head, thought for a while, and said, "Is...Margo wrong? Isn't it obvious? What's wrong?"

Now is not the time to continue pretending, Airo said slowly: "The real problem in Blood Swallow Town is not a magician relying on his own magic power to threaten the ordinary people here. It is a magician who has mastered powerful production tools. Using its absolute superiority in production tools, ordinary people who do not have enough production tools have to accept its leadership and obey its words.”

Chapter 680 The Sixth Surface and Deep Layer

Hearing what Ai Luo said, Cheese, who seemed a little sleepy at the side, lay down on the bed next to him and said, "Call me when you're done, I'm going to sleep now!"

On the other hand, the other members next to each other continued to maintain the rhythm that they could not understand at all, and all of them stared wide-eyed, looking at their president as if they were looking at a fool.

Well, in fact, other people are okay, but it is Suta.This paladin, who has just joined the guild for only a few months, now has a little pity in his eyes besides the look of a fool.If it wasn't for Ai Luo's gender identity, Ai Luo felt that this sister would directly come up and hug him with a burst of maternal love.

"Well... To put it in a simpler way... the problem of this town is not that the tax is too high, but that the magician has the magic power to make the land here fertile. But these townspeople are not like this ability. In order to continue to have a good harvest, and in order not to give up their original property in this small town, they have no choice but to continue to stay here, and they have to continue to obey the request of the magician mayor."

This kind of explanation is more or less useful. After thinking for a while, Cream squeezed his chin and said, "I understand what the president means. , and are willing to obey this magician, right?"

Airl smiled, nodded lightly, and continued: "The reason they are willing to be 'exploited' by that magician is that they cannot rely on their own power to make the land here fertile. According to them Judging from their reaction, compared with the previous farming income of this magician mayor, the 50.00% tax is still within their acceptable range. Therefore, this matter itself has become very unsolvable."

The president raised a finger, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a very relaxed tone: "From the current situation, you may think that the mayor of the magician is like a parasite. It is parasitic on so many people in this small town. But in fact, it is just the opposite, it is the most critical economic foundation in this small town—agriculture, that is parasitic on the mayor of this town.”

"Because these agricultural incomes are almost completely dependent on the mayor's magic, it is impossible for them to resist. If the magician mayor is driven away, their income will not increase, but will drop rapidly. In this way , who would want to make their life more miserable?"

Hearing what Ai Luo said, the little girl Ke Ke still seemed a little unconvinced. She pouted her cheeks with a displeased expression on her face.On the other hand, Margaux raised her hand, patted the little girl's head lightly, and said with a smile, "Aren't you upset? It's not the first time you know the theory of our president, so what's wrong with you?" of?"

Ke Ke shook off Margot's hand, and said with a little stubbornness: "Brother President, it's not that I don't believe you, it's really annoying! If it's really what you said, the farmers in this town are If you can get more income by relying on the fields that have been tidied up by the magician, then on the other hand, it is impossible for that magician to plant so many fields by himself, right? The reason why these crops can grow is that The role of the peasants themselves is also very important! If we really want to use them, it is only half the weight of the two parties, how could it be that one side is completely parasitic on the other?!"

At this moment, Airl really felt that this little necromancer in his guild would definitely become a very remarkable person in the future.

Originally, it was good that a child with an affinity for the magic of the dead could not go astray in the process of growing up, and now she has such a strong sense of justice... Mmmm, I really want to know a victim What would a respected Necromancer look like~~~

"Ke Ke, after arriving in Hanhai City, I will take you to meet my teacher."

Ke Ke was taken aback for a moment, and the resentment on his face seemed to be a little unclear where to vent it.

And Ai Luo continued to smile and said: "I believe that my teacher will like you very much. During the period of our competition, you can also learn more from the teacher, which will be of great benefit to you." the benefits of."

The little girl shrank her neck slightly, blushed slightly, and responded softly: "That...thank you... Brother President..."

With the same smile on Ai Luo's face, he continued: "Then, now to answer your question just now. Obviously they planted it, and the mayor just turned over the land with magic, why can he become the mayor? With so much tax revenue, can you rely on your own strength to squeeze the townspeople of this town?"

"The answer is simple. The difference is that his magic power is irreplaceable. However, the labor force of farmers is very easily replaceable."

"To put it more simply, if all the farmers in Xueyan Town go on strike, do not engage in production, and do not participate in any crop cultivation, then the mayor of the town can bring another group of people into Xueyan Town to work .At that time, as long as the tax is slightly lower for them, I believe that many farmers will be willing to come here to cultivate.”

"But on the other hand, if the mayor doesn't cast magic on the land here, then these farmers will have no place to find another land magic affinity to increase the production of the farmland here."

"The magic that can increase the yield in the farmland is what I just called 'production tools'. Unfortunately, this production tool is currently in the hands of the mayor, and only in the hands of the mayor. Other farmers are leaving After having this kind of production tool, there is no way to grow anything at all. This is where the real structural contradictions of this small town lie. It is not about taxes, nor is it about bullying men and women, nor is it about oppressing by force innocent people here."

"It is the most irreplaceable production tool, which is only in the hands of one person at present, and cannot be taken away by others, so it can only be oppressed overwhelmingly, that's all."

After such a detailed explanation by Ai Luo, the members of the family whose education level is generally not high finally understand the real problem here.

Arrow also gave the members some time to think carefully about the issues.After they finally figured it out one by one, Ke Ke's face immediately began to show a little hopeless expression.

"Brother President... There is no way to change this kind of thing... There is no way to change this kind of thing? A magician with magic power can suppress a completely ordinary person... There is no way to change such a thing Can’t we drive this mayor away and replace him with another person... Or let them go to the magic store to buy magic scrolls about the land and cast them by themselves?”

Airl smiled, and said slowly: "The situation remains the same. People here still need to rely on magic if they want to live a good life. As long as this does not change, then they will always need the help of magicians, It means that even if you change the mayor, there is no guarantee that you will not be restrained by magicians from other places."

After saying this, Arrow thought for a while, and then continued: "Actually, I think the situation in Pelican Town is already considered good. Most of the situation is because Pelican Town is originally located in a remote, poor, and without Something worth producing, that's why those wizards don't bother to travel that far to make money. But, you see, as soon as the economic situation in Pelican Town starts to improve, the members of the Royal Society of Wizards will come and use their methods to provide It far exceeds the brightness that ordinary oil lamps can provide. This is the difference between the "production tools" owned by magicians and ordinary people. And this difference in "production tools" will further lead to the substances produced by both parties It’s completely unequal, and there’s absolutely no way around it.”

After hearing this, Brad now also looks a little depressed.The big man lowered his head slightly, looked at his toes and said: "Then...there is really no way to change this situation...it is impossible for us to let all ordinary people have magic...this in itself It's unrealistic..."

Originally, Airl was a little happy to see the members giving up now.But when he saw that Brad, the most simple big man, had such a helpless look, he couldn't help curling his lips a little. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to do so.

That's right... The difference in power itself leads to a huge gap between the power that magicians and ordinary people can create.

Even ordinary people become adventurers after training, but if they want to become more powerful adventurers, they must need some equipment with powerful magic power.Unfortunately, if these magical equipment can be traced back to their roots, they can also be traced back to those magicians.

So, how much favored are people who are born with magical affinity by the creator god of this world?As a result, from the moment they were born, they left ordinary people far behind...

…… Well, actually, thinking about it carefully, it seems that this gap is not completely irreparable.

But... well, forget it, let's put this idea on hold for now.After all, my own affairs have not been settled yet, so where is it my turn to think about other things.

After everyone understood everything, Airl nodded lightly, and the smile on his face bloomed again.He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, since everyone understands, then let's do this. Our ox cart may not arrive until evening, before that, everyone should take a rest first—— "

Drum pedal——!

Just when Airl was about to stop this conversation, suddenly!There was a rush of footsteps rushing up the dilapidated stairs.Not long after, I heard the door of Airl's room being slammed open!The girl named Milk is holding on to the door frame panting now, standing in front of everyone.

"Please... please..."

Without waiting for Airl to ask, the girl's face was covered with nervous and flustered tears, and she yelled——

"Please! Save Coffee! I don't want him to die! I absolutely...don't want him to die!"

Accompanied by the girl's almost desperate cry, Coco and Margo, who were the most sensitive to magic in the guild, immediately raised their heads and looked out the window as if they had sensed something.But after just a second, they immediately looked away and looked at Airl.

Arrow exhaled slightly and waved his hand: "Go, but don't make things stiff."

"Thank you, Brother President!"

Ke Ke didn't even have time to thank her properly, she just jumped down from the window!With a wave of the magic wand during the fall, the undead soldier immediately appeared in mid-air and landed gracefully with a rainbow sword in his hand.Coco, on the other hand, sat on the back of the skeleton dog that was also formed, and landed safely.

"Let go of him! Fresh Digger!"

Coco, who landed on the ground, raised her wand and pointed steadily at the person in front of her.

At the door of this dilapidated hotel, the hotel owner was already scared to death, curled up in the hotel, motionless.The neighbors in the surrounding neighborhoods are now closing their doors and windows one after another, leaving only a gap to watch what is happening on the street now.

On this street, a man wearing a khaki magic cloak, about 40 years old, but with half black and half white hair, was standing under the sun with a gloomy expression.

Beside him was a stone pillar rising from the ground. The hands and feet of the boy named Coffee were all integrated into the stone pillar, and the boy's neck was also stuck in the stone pillar.It could be seen that because his neck was stuck, his breathing was very difficult, and his whole face was flushed with suffocation, and he was about to die!

Xian, who was punishing the disobedient, seemed not to have expected that a necromancer would suddenly fall from the sky, and the originally gloomy expression on his face immediately revealed a little bit of surprise and tension.He glanced at the undead soldier standing next to Coco, at its stable skeleton and its sword-holding posture like a master swordsman, and then at the skeleton dog grinning at him. After a moment of silence, he looked gloomy He said calmly: "Are you sent by the association? Strange, I haven't heard that there are such young necromancers in the association. Moreover, how can women join the association?"

Ke Ke didn't have time to wait for this person to figure it out for himself. At this moment, Coffee's complexion had turned purple, and his pants were even wet at this time, and he was about to fail!She didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately waved her wand, and the undead soldier next to her kicked her feet, and quickly rushed towards the earth mage.

Seeing the attack of the necromancer in front of him, he dared not neglect.In order to avoid the dispersion of the magic power, he could only immediately put away the magic power used to trap the coffee, forming an earth wall to quickly block the oncoming undead soldiers.

However, the undead soldier suddenly jumped up on the spot as if he had expected it a long time ago. When it landed, the skeleton dog had already arrived, and it arched its head upwards vigorously. The undead soldier stepped on the skeleton. The dog's head took advantage of the momentum to fly over the earth wall, and the rainbow light sword in his hand swung at the head of the earth magician without hesitation.

"Humph!"

The sudden change made Mayor Xian a little nervous. After seeing the undead soldier on his head, he quickly put away the earthen wall and hurriedly waved a staff in his hand. A slope protruded from his feet. Let him shift to the side, and at the same time turn around smoothly, and quickly recite the spell: "Earth spikes!"

With a bang, three thrusts shot up from the ground, piercing through the undead soldiers in a simple and clear way, and the thick thrusts also squeezed and crushed the soldiers' bones.

But it was obvious that Xian, who had always been the mayor, could not be an opponent of the experienced Coco.Seeing that the undead soldiers were wiped out, the earth mage breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that Coco on the other side had already quickly condensed the next magic.Those crushed bone powders condensed again before they even dissipated. Accompanied by the mayor's terrified eyes, the rainbow light sword was aimed at his chest without any mistakes, and he was about to directly stab him. go down!

"stop!"

A voice finally stopped Coco at this moment.

The undead soldier stopped, but the rainbow light sword in his hand had already pierced the magic cloak on the mayor's chest, and the blade was already tightly attached to his chest.

Xian Digger was obviously frightened by the attack of the necromancer. Even after the undead soldier had stopped moving, his legs were still trembling, and it took a long time before he reluctantly backed away. Taking a step forward, he clutched his chest and began to gasp for breath.

"You... who are you!"

Xian retreated far away, looking at the members of Song of the Mermaid who had already filed out of the hotel, and looking at so many people, his momentum was obviously a little weak.

"It's really weak."

Margo glanced at the earth magician and snorted coldly.

Airl smiled and said, "It's not that he is weak, it's that you have become very strong."

Leaving a sentence for Margot to ponder over, Arrow walked out of the crowd, spread his hands towards the mayor, and said with a smile, "Oh, you are the mayor of Xian Digger, right? Hello, I am Elo Garcia, the president of the Mermaid Song Guild, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After hearing that there was a guild in front of him, Xian's eyes became more vigilant.He took a closer look at the people present, especially the boy who was breathing heavily.At this time, the girl Milk who should marry him as his wife has hurried to the boy's side to comfort him constantly.

"Hmph, Song of the Mermaid? I've never heard of it! What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?!"
