With the bag of death crystals and other ingredients, Aero took Coco to Fett's blacksmith shop non-stop. The big blacksmith probably didn't expect this guild to be able to collect these materials so quickly, especially after seeing those obviously rich death magic crystals and first-class quality wisteria steel, he was even more surprised.

In addition to his admiration, he said that he would definitely build Coco's Wand Death Song within a month!

While this little girl was happy, she also circled back and forth around Eero.

When things were done, Arrow also took Coco around the city. When it was almost noon, I drove the little girl back to the hotel and rubbed a meal at the hotel.

There's no way, no matter how you say that there is still a lot of gap between your 1,000 gold coins, you can save a little bit.

In the afternoon, after Arrow asked his members to wander around by themselves, he cleaned up his outfit a little, tidied up his hair, changed into clean clothes, packed up his things, and walked back in the direction of Lao Tengshu.

Entering the academy smoothly, this time Arrow did not wander around, but walked directly to the library with a smile on his face, went up to the second floor with a familiar way, and walked towards the teacher who taught him all about economics.

"Mr. Connor, I'm here to see you again! How are you doing these two days? ”

As always, the economics teacher held a book in his hand, raised his head, and squinted at the good student in front of him.

Upon seeing that it was Arrow, Connor's face immediately spread to a faint smile. He put down the book in his hand, nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm still wondering when you'll come back next time." I didn't expect it to be so fast. ”

With that, Connor got up from his seat, walked through the stacked piles of books that looked like hills, poured a glass of water from a kettle as if he had been waiting for a long time, and handed it to Arrow.

Arrow took the cup of water, took a sip and said, "Teacher's tea art is still the same as before, the taste of these teas is really amazing." ”

Connor laughed, poured himself a glass, and said, "Don't know how to pat the teacher's ass [college student] if you're fine, just drink it, things are not so particular." ”

Arrow smiled and drank the water in his hand. He put down the cup, looked around, and finally focused his eyes on the table in front of Connor, also looking at the manual on it, and said, "Teacher, what kind of problems have you been working on lately?" Or is it something about the country and the economy? ”

Connor also noticed Arrow's eyes, he also put down his glass, picked up the manual, patted it slightly, and said, "The question between nations can be said to be an eternal research topic. The more tensions arise between us and the Hunter Empire, the more we have to study the opposition between us. You know, Ariel, the problem between countries, a lot of times it boils down to an economic problem. ”

Arrow nodded, and seeing this, Connor also smiled, and continued-

"Between the Hunter Empire and our Blue Bay Empire, there has been constant friction on the border in the past few decades. There are a lot of entanglements between each other. Ariel, have you ever wondered why there are so many problems between us and the Hunter Empire, and border disputes with other countries around us are not so obvious? ”

In response to this teacher's question, Arrow thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "The teacher once told us in class that because of the contradictions in the Hunter Empire, it is very necessary to be able to transfer the domestic problems to avoid the final outbreak of domestic contradictions, so as to threaten the imperial power of the Hunter Empire." ”

Connor nodded appreciatively and said with a smile, "That's right, so do you know what their domestic contradictions are?" ”

In this regard, Arrow scratched the back of his head, looked a little helpless, and smiled: "What about this...... Teacher, I haven't specifically studied the domestic situation of the Hunter Empire, and I don't know much about this kind of thing...... Did the teacher research it? ”

The teacher smiled, flipped through the manual in his hand, opened one of the pages, and handed it to Arrow.

Arrow took the manual and glanced at it in its order. After thinking for a moment, his brow condensed involuntarily.

Connor saw the change in Arrow's expression and knew that the student had understood the problem, so he smiled and said, "It seems that you have understood." ”

Arrow exhaled, handed the manual back to Connor, and said slowly, "In the last thirty years, the number of mages in the Hunter Empire has been decreasing...... I didn't think about that. ”

"If the number of mages decreases, then the production of the whole country will also become weak. Many items that can be easily crafted with magic will start to become scarce, and work that can be easily done with magic will become cumbersome. Coupled with the decrease in the number of mages leading to a decrease in the number of magical items crafted, the combat power within the Vicious Empire will also decrease. In this case, it may become troublesome to deal with the daily appearance of Warcraft. ”

"However, the decline in the number of mages, and the number of nobles in the Hunter Empire have also steadily declined. In the case that the number of magicians has decreased, and the country's population, especially the working population, has not increased significantly, the number of nobles has not changed, which means that the oppression of the common people at the bottom will become stronger. As a result, there will be an accumulation of internal contradictions, which are almost equivalent to irreconcilable. ”

Connor smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, and it is precisely because the national strength of the Hunter Empire is now declining year by year, causing the contradictions in their country to become more and more serious, so they need to do their best to divert the contradictions and find trouble for us." In fact, there is a way to change this situation. Ariel, I think you know what this is, right? ”

Arrow lowered his head and thought about it, but after thinking of a method, he seemed a little hesitant. After a pause of two or three seconds, he said with a slightly puzzled tone, "So...... Those people at the bottom should be allowed to rise up...... Directly find a way to overthrow those nobles and the royal family of the Hunter? In this way, those ordinary people will have food again? ”

Hearing Arrow say such a method, Connor's originally smiling expression was a little difficult to look at. He said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Ariel, how did you come up with such a stupid idea? After going out for three years, after coming back, I began to have this kind of rebellious thoughts? You have to keep in mind who you are. Is it okay to let the commoners overthrow the royal family? This is simply subverting the most basic common sense in this world! ”

Being reprimanded by the teacher like this, Arrow was slightly embarrassed, so he could only shut up and stop talking.

Connor was also relieved to see that Arrow was now obedient, and said, "The best way now is naturally to carry out reforms. If the Hunter Empire can reduce a large number of nobles and thus reduce the financial expenditure, then the conflict can be alleviated. But then again, without any sin, what nobleman would be willing to take the initiative to be stripped of his noble status and thus become a commoner? I'd say the most difficult solution is here, and if the Empress of Murder Hunt can figure out a way to solve this problem, it would be a good thing. ”

Seeing the regretful expression that Connor was showing now, Airo hesitated for a moment, then simply had an attitude of letting go, and said with a smile: "But...... Teacher, I think that there are really so few magicians in the Hunter Empire? I have a somewhat different view on this. ”

Connor was a little relieved by what Arrow was saying now, he smiled and nodded, and said, "Oh? Looks like you're still growing a little bit. Tell me about it? But don't say anything about the big rebellion. ”

Arrow nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Our Blue Bay Empire has always been built close to the coastline, and our territory has not expanded significantly for hundreds of years. Relatively speaking, the territory of the Hunter Empire has been expanding continuously for hundreds of years, and purely in terms of territorial area, it can be regarded as twice as much as our Blue Bay Empire. ”

"But in this case, the dispute between the Hunter Empire and our Blue Bay has not made any substantial progress, although the fights between each other have occurred from time to time, and the relationship is tense, but neither side seems to have the feeling of tearing their faces immediately."

"In such a situation, I think what do the nobles in the Hunter Empire think about those nobles who occupy various territories separately?"

Connor thought for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand what Arrow meant, and then his eyes lit up, and he said, "What do you mean...... The number of mages in the country of Hunter has not decreased year by year, but those lords did not report directly to the royal family after discovering the number of mages in their own territory? ”

Arrow nodded and said with a smile, "How old is that empress?" I think she ascended the throne when she was ten years old, and now she's only thirty years old, right? ”

"It's not easy to command those powerful lords at this age, and those lords probably don't think too much of this female leader. In this case, you may want to recruit those magicians under your command, but you don't report it. ”
