[West Fantasy] The noble lady who was divorced became rich

The doctor didn't know what kind of expression he should use to treat Marianne, after all, the idea of ​​sharing armor was too advanced.Even though the current magic armor is so refined that it can be adjusted in size, for some people who are more particular, the usual weapons and armor are the same as underwear, how can they be used or rented at will?

"So we are taking the civilian route. Do you think those famous adventurers can value this kind of direct-printed armor?" Marianne looked at the doctor's expression and knew what he was thinking: "Only fame does not show, life Only hard-pressed adventurers accept the rental of magical armor and weapons."

"Then don't they feel disgusting?" The doctor couldn't help shivering: "Anyway, I don't accept this kind of rental business."

"If you don't accept it, there will naturally be those who complain about you, 'Why don't you eat minced meat?' People welcome this kind of leasing business." Mariana recalled the famous e-commerce quotes in her previous life, and the phrase "the countryside surrounds the city" and "those who win the common people win the world". Rhetoric: "At the moment of life, if you spend a little money and suffer some grievances, you can reduce the risk, so why not do it?"

Besides, the magic armor and weapons are not exaggerated to the extent that they can be compared with close-fitting clothing. At worst, I will give you a sterilization service and polishing service exclusively provided by the temple.

"Don't think that I'm just wishful thinking." Marianna will do market research and big data analysis before doing anything, so she knows exactly how many people, especially the black market, are doing this kind of business in the business that the doctor despises: "The black market The cheapest enchanted weapon in the world costs [-] talents, not counting the subsequent maintenance and improvement costs. On average, a low-level adventurer spends at least [-] talents on weapons and armor every year Special. And a low-level adventurer can only complete five missions in one year. If it is placed in the team, excluding the agency fee for the spoils and the miscellaneous expenses handed over to the adventurer guild, the annual net profit is about three Between ten thousand and fifty thousand talents."

Mariana just said it was not enough, she took a piece of paper and wrote it out to the doctor: "These incomes do not include their living expenses, entertainment expenses, and medical expenses. If you add the minimum expenses spent on weapons and armor... Just five thousand talents is enough to kill some people."

"That's it?" The doctor is not inexperienced, so he felt very uncomfortable with Marianne's sentence "just five thousand talents": "You'd better live a few days down-to-earth, don't think that what you see at a glance , are all dignitaries like you."

"Then don't think that everyone in this world can afford magic weapons and look down on rich people who rent weapons." Mariana knew the escape route of using magic to deal with magic, so she directly enlisted the doctor: "In the black market Not only is the price of the weapon lease high, but it is also easy to cheat or phishing for law enforcement.”

"Rather than let low-level adventurers be tricked out of this industry at the beginning, causing a fault in the domestic adventurer structure, it is better for me to support the low-level adventurers and win the hearts of the people by the way." Mariana these In [-], he saw clearly the true colors of the Temple and the Adventurer's Guild, and he also had a love-hate relationship with these two organizations that started out as civilians.

In all fairness, is there a need for the existence of the Temple and the Adventurer's Guild?

Of course there is, otherwise those abandoned children, widowed old people who can't afford to pay for their old age, will have to wait to die in the wind and sun?And those adventurers who have just entered the industry, how many are lucky enough to meet reliable seniors or teams?

How about that old saying?

A farmer's son is still a farmer, and a banker's son is still a banker.

During times of war, there were warlords and chaebols, but in modern times, those monopoly classes have transformed into academic lords, medical lords, and even monopoly organizations in various industries.

It is extremely difficult for a helpless person to gain a place in a field that has already taken shape, let alone achieve something in it.

In her previous life and in this life, Mariana has seen many young people crumbling in front of an invisible wall, their heads bleeding.

And that invisible wall is just a small threshold that can be passed by a grass ladder for those who have already taken root here.

This is the limitation and exclusion of class.

Even in the fairest country, some people will consciously let their offspring occupy high positions in other fields in order to stabilize their existing status and family power, and then join forces to kick down those who try to challenge them.

Under such circumstances, the temple and the adventurer's guild became the only remaining channels and platforms for the civilian class to rise up and speak.

Just like the tribunes and citizens’ assemblies in ancient Rome, the temple was a religious institution with a charitable nature because of the particularity of the clergy’s need to “keep chastity” and “keep poverty”. , so most of the members of the temple are local residents or abandoned babies adopted by the nuns of the temple.Even the rich and the rich have people who serve at the top of the temple, but compared to the clergy from poor backgrounds, they are still a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention the Adventurer's Guild.

Unless they are young masters who come to experience life, or noble children who really want to make a name for themselves, the people who can make a living from this are ordinary people who make a living.They are like dreamers who go to first-tier cities to seek life. While dreaming of returning to their hometown, they also shoulder the heavy responsibility of driving the economy and talents of their hometown.

Although the current adventurer's guild also has a bureaucracy that will take care of people of "same place and same clan", the evaluation of senior adventurers is not fixed, so in a short period of time, it is still impossible to change the adventurer's guild Become a monopoly organization in a certain place.

Under such circumstances, if Mariana wanted to compete with them, she had to start from the most deadly foundation of the other party, and she must not attract the other party's attention.

The Grand Duchess Aquique's method of dealing with the Adventurer's Guild and the Temple is very simple, relying on money and resources.

The temple needs a lot of money to support so many abandoned babies, orphans, widows and old people, and the Adventurers Guild uses money and weapons to strengthen the hearts of the people, so the Grand Duchess of Aquique signed a pricing agreement with the Principality of Britannia, and then used this Control the voice of the temple and the adventurer's guild.

From the ruler's point of view, what the Grand Duchess of Aquique did was reasonable, but when it comes to the Adventurer's Guild, the Temple, and the Principality of Britannia, it is not generally unreasonable.This is also the main reason why the black market of the Northern Alliance has been booming in recent years.

Mariana decided to learn from the experience of the Grand Duchess of Aquique and the Northern Alliance, and use a more moderate method to win over the lower-level personnel of the Temple and the Adventurer's Guild, and then follow the mass line of "the bottom surrounds the upper" and "the countryside surrounds the city". , to build their own influence.
