Hearing Arrow say this, Cheese, who was already a little sleepy on the side, lay down directly on the bed next to him and said, "Call me when you're done, I'll sleep now!" ”

But the other members next to them are now continuing to maintain the rhythm that they don't understand at all, and they all widen their eyes as if they were looking at their own president like fools.

Well, in fact, the others are fine, but it is a crisp tart. This paladin, who had only been in the guild for a few months, now had a little pity in his eyes in addition to the look like a fool. If it weren't for the gender identity of Arrow, Arrow felt that this sister would come up and hug herself directly.

"Hmm...... To put it more simply...... It's not that the town is too taxed, it's that the magician has the magic to make the land fertile here. But these townspeople don't have that ability. In order to continue to reap the harvest and not to give up the original possessions in this town, they had to continue to stay here, and they had to continue to obey the mage mayor's request. ”

This explanation is more or less useful, and after pinching her chin and thinking about it, Cream said, "I understand what the president means, that is, these townspeople are willing to obey this magician for their own money and income, right?" ”

Arrow smiled, nodded slightly, and continued, "The reason they are willing to be 'exploited' by that mage is that they can't make the land fertile on their own. Judging by their reactions, the 50% tax levied on the mage mayor was still within their acceptable range compared to the mage mayor's previous farming income. So, the matter itself becomes very inexplicable. ”

The guildmaster raised a finger, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a very relaxed tone: "Judging from the current situation, you may think that this mage mayor is like a parasite, parasitic on so many people in this town. But in fact, the opposite is true, it is the most critical economic foundation of this town, agriculture, that parasitizes the mayor. ”

"Because these farming revenues are almost entirely dependent on the mayor's magic, there's no way they're going to rebel. If the mage mayor is removed, their income will not increase, but will decline rapidly. In that way, who would want to make their lives even more miserable? ”

Hearing Arrow say this, the little girl still seemed to be a little unconvinced, she pouted her cheeks with an unhappy expression. On the other side, Margaux raised his hand, gently patted the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Isn't it unpleasant? It's not the first time you've learned of this kind of theory that we'll grow, so what's upset? ”

Coco shook off Margaux's hand and said with a little stubbornness: "Brother President, it's not that I don't believe you, it's really a little angry!" If, as you say, the peasants of this town rely on the fields that have been prepared by the magician to get more income, then on the other hand, the magician can't have planted so many fields by himself, right? The reason why these crops can grow is also important to the farmers themselves! If you really want to talk about exploitation, it is also half a pound and half a two on both sides, how can it be completely parasitic on the other side?! ”

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

Originally, it was very good that a child with an affinity for necromantic magic could grow up without going astray, and now she has such a strong sense of justice...... Mmmm, I really want to know what a respected necromancer would be like~~~

"Coco, when you get to Hanhai City, I'll take you to meet my teacher."

Coco was slightly stunned, and the resentment on his face seemed to be a little unsure of where to vent.

Arrow, on the other hand, continued to smile and said, "I'm sure my teacher will like you very much." During this time when we are competing, you can also learn more from the teacher, which will be of great benefit to you. ”

The little girl shrunk her neck slightly, her face flushed slightly, and she answered softly: "That...... Thank you...... Brother ...... President"

The smile on Arrow's face remained, and he continued, "So, now respond to that question you just asked. Obviously they planted it, and the mayor of the town only relied on magic to turn over the land, why could he become the mayor of the town, collect so many taxes, and rely on his own power to squeeze the townspeople of this town? ”

The answer is simple, the difference is that his magic is irreplaceable. The labor of the peasants, on the other hand, is something that is very easily replaced. ”

"To put it more simply, if all the farmers in Xueyan Town go on strike, do not produce, and do not participate in the cultivation of any crops, then the mayor of the town can also change another group of people to come to Xueyan Town and work. As long as the tax is a little lower, I believe that many farmers will be willing to come here to farm. ”

"But on the flip side, if the mayor doesn't cast his magic on the land here, then these farmers won't have a place to find another land magic affinity to increase the productivity of the land here."

"The magic that increases the yield in the field is what I just called the 'production tool'. Unfortunately, this means of production is currently in the hands of the mayor, and only in the hands of the mayor. The rest of the farmers couldn't grow anything without this means of production. This is where the real structural contradiction of the town lies at the moment. It's not a tax, it's not a bully of men and women, and it's not a force that oppresses the innocent people here. ”

"It is the most irreplaceable tool of production, which is currently only in the hands of one person, and no one else can take it away or snatch it, so it can only be oppressed one-sidedly, nothing more."

After such a detailed explanation by Eero, the members of their own family, whose education level is generally not high, finally understood the real problem here.

Arrow also gave the members a moment to think through the issues. After they finally figured it out one by one, Coco's face began to show a little desperate expression for the first time.

"Brother President...... This kind of thing...... Isn't there a way to change this kind of thing? A magician with magical powers can suppress completely ordinary people...... Isn't there anything that can be done to change such a thing? Can't we just get rid of this mayor and replace him with another man...... Or do you want them to go to the magic shop and buy magic scrolls about the earth and use them themselves? ”

Arrow smiled and said slowly, "In this case, the situation still hasn't changed. People here still rely on magic to make a good living. As long as this doesn't change, then they will always need the help of the mage, which means that even if they change the mayor, there is no guarantee that they will not be restrained by the mage from other places. ”

After saying this, Airo thought for a moment and continued: "Actually, I think the situation in Pelican Town is already good, most of the situation is because Pelican Town is remote, poor, and there is nothing worth producing, so those magicians are too lazy to travel so far to make money. But, you see, as soon as Pelican Town's economic situation begins to improve, members of the Royal Society of Magicians will come and use their methods to provide light that far exceeds what ordinary oil lamps can provide. This is the difference between the 'tools of production' that magicians and ordinary people have. And this difference in the 'means of production' will further lead to a complete asymmetry of the materials produced by the two sides, which is completely unavoidable. ”

After hearing this, Brad also seemed a little depressed now. The big man lowered his head slightly, looked at his toes and said, "That'...... There's really no way to change that...... It's impossible for all ordinary people to have magic...... That's unrealistic in itself......"

Originally, Arrow was also a little happy to see the members give up now. But seeing that Brad, the most simple big man, was now so helpless, he couldn't help but pout a little, and after thinking about it, he could only do so.

Oh, yes...... The difference in power itself leads to a huge gap in the power that magicians and ordinary people can create.

Even if an ordinary person becomes an adventurer after training, if you want to become a more powerful adventurer, then you must need some equipment with powerful magical power. Unfortunately, if you trace the roots of these magical equipment, you can also trace them back to the magicians.

So, how much favor are people who are born with magical affinities by the creator gods of this world? From the moment they were born, they left ordinary people far behind......

………… Well, in fact, if you think about it, this gap does not seem to be completely unbridgeable.

But...... Alas, forget it, this idea should be put on hold for the time being. After all, I haven't done my own business yet, so where is my turn to think about other things?

When everyone understood, Arrow nodded slightly, and the smile on his face bloomed again. He clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, since everyone understands it, then so be it." Our ox carts may not arrive until late in the evening, so let's all take a break—"

Pedaling ——!

Just when Eero was about to stop this conversation, suddenly! There was a rush of footsteps down the tattered staircase. Not long after, I heard the door of Arrow's room slam open! The girl named Milk was now panting and holding on to the doorframe, standing in front of everyone.

"Ask for ...... I beg you to ......"

Without waiting for Arrow to ask, the girl's face was covered with nervous and panicked tears, and she shouted loudly—

"Please! Save the Coffee! I don't want him to die! I absolutely...... Don't let him die! ”

With the girl's almost desperate cry, Coco and Margaux, who were the most sensitive to magic in the guild, immediately raised their heads and looked out the window as if they sensed something. But after a few seconds, they immediately withdrew their gaze and looked at Arrow.

Arrow exhaled a little and waved his hand, "Go, but don't make things stiff." ”

"Thank you, brother, president!"

Coco didn't even have time to thank him properly, and jumped straight down the window! With a wave of his wand in the process of falling, the undead soldier immediately appeared in mid-air, holding the rainbow sword and landing in style. Coco, on the other hand, sat on the back of the skeleton dog, which was also formed, and landed safely.

"Let him go! Fresh hoe worker! ”

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

At the door of the dilapidated inn, the innkeeper was now half dead of fright, curled up in the inn motionless. The surrounding neighbors are also closing their doors and windows one after another, leaving only a gap to watch what is happening on the street now.

On the street, a man in his forties, dressed in an earthy magic cloak, with half-black and half-white hair, was standing in the sunlight with an eerie face.

Beside him was a stone pillar that rose from the ground, and the young man named Coffee had his hands and feet all merged into the stone pillar, and the young man's neck was also stuck into the stone pillar. It can be seen that because his neck is stuck, his breathing is very difficult, and his whole face is even more red, and he is about to lose his breath!

Xian, who was punishing the disobedient, didn't seem to expect a necromancer to suddenly fall from the sky, and the original gloomy expression on his face immediately revealed a slight sense of surprise and nervousness. He glanced at the undead soldier standing next to Coco, at its stable skeleton and sword-wielding posture like a sword master, and then at the skeleton dog grinning at him, and after a moment of silence, he said grimly, "Are you sent by the Guild?" Strangely, I haven't heard of such a young necromancer in the guild. And, how is it possible for a woman to join an association? ”

Coco didn't have time to wait for this person to figure it out for himself, at this time, Coffee's face had turned purple, and his pants were even wet at this time, and it looked like he was about to die! She no longer hesitated, 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 rarely dared to slack off. In order to avoid the distraction of the mana, he could only put away the magic used to trap the coffee as soon as possible, forming an earthen wall to quickly block the oncoming undead soldiers.

But the undead soldier suddenly jumped on the spot as if he had expected it a long time ago, and when it hit the ground, the skeleton dog had already arrived, arching its head vigorously upwards, and the undead soldier stepped on the skeleton dog's head to take advantage of the momentum to fly over the earthen wall, and the rainbow sword in his hand did not hesitate to swing towards the head of the earth magician.

"Humph!"

The sudden change made Mayor Xian look a little nervous, and after seeing the undead soldier in his head, he hurriedly put away the earthen wall, and hurriedly waved a magic staff in his hand, and a slope protruded from his feet, causing him to move to the side, and at the same time turned around and quickly chanted the incantation: "Earth Spike!" ”

With a bang, three spikes rose from the ground in a row, piercing the undead soldier simply and clearly, and the thick spikes also squeezed the soldier's bones and crushed them.

But it's clear that Xian, who has only been the mayor of the town, can't be an opponent of Coco, who has a lot of combat experience. 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 magic for the next time. The crushed bone powder had not even dissipated before it could coalesce again, and with the frightened eyes of the mayor, the rainbow sword had been aimed at his chest with unmistakable accuracy, and he was ready to stab it straight away!

"Stop!"

A voice finally stopped Coco at this moment.

The undead soldier stopped, but the rainbow sword in his hand had pierced the mana cloak on the mayor's chest, and the blade was already tightly pressed against his chest.

The Fresh Digger was visibly frightened by the necromancer's attack, and even after the undead soldier had ceased to move, his legs trembled a little, and it took a long time for him to take a step back, clutching his chest and gasping for air.

"You ...... Who the hell are you! ”

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

"It's really weak."

Margaux glanced at the earth mage and snorted coldly.

Arrow smiled and said, "It's not that he's weak, it's that you've become strong." ”

Leaving a sentence for Margaux to ponder, Eero walked out of the crowd, stretched out his hands to the mayor, and said with a smile, "Oh, you're the mayor of Fresh Diggers, aren't you?" Hello, I'm Arrow Garcia, the leader of the Mermaid Song Guild, and 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 crowd, especially the boy who was breathing heavily. At this time, the girl who was supposed to marry him as his wife had hurried to the young man's side and continued to comfort him.

"Huh, mermaid song? Haven't heard of it! What do you want to do? Want to rebel?! ”

Arrow knew that this guy was bluffing, but he didn't want to get into trouble now, so he continued to laugh and say, "No, no, no, how can we rebel?" And we don't have any grudges against you in Mermaid Song, not to mention that we are also a serious guild, not mercenaries, and we will not do such a thing as taking orders to kill people. Just ......"

Arrow glanced at the pair of young men and women next to him, and after thinking about it, he could only bite the bullet after all, and continued to smile and said: "It's just that we stayed here for one night, and we saw early in the morning that you wanted to pinch a young man to death. So want to ask what's going on? Is there any room for mediation? ”

Xian's eyes stared at Arrow's face for a long time, as if after estimating the difference in strength between the two sides, he snorted, pointed at the young man and said, "This guy wanted to assassinate me last night, if I didn't react fast enough, maybe he would have succeeded!" He wants to kill me, so wouldn't it make sense for me to want to kill him now? ”

Now that the coffee was out of breath, he gritted his teeth and faced the earth mage over there with a stubborn expression, shouting, "your reasonableness!" You want to snatch the milk! You also tax us! You complete vampire...... You're just going to take 50% of our income every time you come out and perform your magic during the spring and autumn planting seasons! ”

Luckily, now Cheese is not here, but sleeps on it...... Otherwise, Airo was really worried that this boy would be directly captured by the Night One Clan and sucked blood.

"Humph! You lowly peasants who don't know what to do, how dare you make demands with me?! ”

Xian seems to have seen that these outsiders in front of him should not interfere too much in their own affairs, so their arrogance has gradually become arrogant. He waved the staff in his hand and shouted—

"If I hadn't helped you prepare the farmland, where would you have had so much grain to harvest? If I hadn't worked so hard to help you sell food, where would you have so much money to make?! Fifty percent is considered high? It seems that you really don't know the cruelty of this world. In those places where the harvest is better, it is not uncommon for lords to pay more than 75% of their taxes! You're only 50% of you now, and I'm merciful! How dare you be hard-mouthed?! ”

Although he scolded very harshly, it could be seen that the mayor of the town was still worried about so many people on Arrow's side, so he didn't dare to do something directly.

For Arrow, the current situation is very troublesome.

Tube it...... In fact, there is no good reason to intervene. No matter how you say it, this is also a matter of other people's towns, and the mayors of other towns are willing to raise so many taxes, but the townspeople of their towns have not reacted much, and it is really difficult for outsiders to say anything.

But if you don't care about it, it is estimated that as soon as the mermaid song leaves, the young man's life will be immediately confessed here.

Alas......

If you explain it, you will explain it, you can't recognize the form, and you think that as long as you have a passion and overturn all the injustices, it won't work after all. Sometimes, some people do need to die. After all, from an economic point of view, even if you get rid of this mayor, it will only be a symptom rather than a cure, and the Mermaid Song will not be able to stay here forever, let alone be the enemy of all the lords of high-tax places forever.
