Chapter 24: The Law of the Forest
Clover suddenly exclaimed, "Is the life of a commoner so worthless?, ah, that's how you nobles see it?"
Chris looked at him, and saw that his face was flushed with anger, and his eyes glared at him viciously. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Sick you!
With this sentence, give me a platform?
Thinking that Chris's silence represented a retreat, Clover snorted fiercely.
Stephen couldn't help but say, "What are you so excited about?"
Clover turned to Stephen and said, "Oh?
Stephen only spoke in a slightly shrill voice, but the tone and tone of his speech were by no means truly pretentious, and Stephen, who had always regarded himself as a man, couldn't help but be furious, and rushed to take a step to put it on his face, but Chris quickly grabbed him.
"Clover!" but it was Mentor Elandor, who usually spoke the least, who opened his mouth in a stern tone, "You should calm down first. β
But Clover didn't dare to be rude to his mentor, and nodded and said, "Yes, mentor!"
Although the contradiction has been stopped, it has not been eliminated.
Because of Clover's sensitivity in this matter, the rest of the students did not dare to answer him more.
After dinner, the three professors went to rest, and then Clover returned to his tent without saying a word.
The rest of the students sat around the campfire and chatted with each other.
Stephen whispered, "If it weren't for the professor, I would have beaten him up." β
Chris smiled.
Dylan also whispered, "I heard, heβ" she pointed to Clover's tent, "... His father was a mercenary, and he offended a nobleman for some reason, and later died, but the nobleman was not punished, so..."
Terry interjected, "His father was in prison, but his illness was not treated in time, and he died not long after he came out. β
Both Dylan and Terry were in the same class as Clover, and they often took classes in the same class, so they had heard a little bit about his family.
Chris nodded slightly, which would explain why Clover would react so much to his words when he saw the mercenary's corpse.
In fact, it's just a touch of sadness!
Stephen snorted twice and said, "Then go and trouble that nobleman, what are you angry at us, his father didn't die at our hands." β
No one can deny that in life, everyone has been scolded. Some words can be forgotten by people, but once some words are spoken, the scolded person is likely to remember them for a lifetime, and at this time Stephen is obviously still unable to let go of Clover's "sissy".
Arian said, "I've also heard that there are many things like killing people and taking money among the mercenaries in the Warcraft Forest. Let's be a little more careful. β
Chris added a piece of firewood to the campfire and looked at the campfire intently: "Do you know how many mercenaries in Kib Town are reported to be killed and hanged every year?"
He held out a finger: "At least a hundred, never less than that." β
The surrounding students gasped.
Dylan lost his voice and said, "There are so many?"
Chris nodded: "They are found to have killed people, very rarely by mistake or by others, most of the time they are exposed when they are selling the relics of the killed. β
He looked up at the crowd: "In other words, there are many 'experienced' mercenaries who have not been discovered at all. And once they are reported and caught, each of them will have no less than one life in their hands. β
The reason why Chris knows so clearly is the influence of the novels of his previous life.
A person, a sword, roaming the rivers and lakes, when bored, go to kill the monster and get a few magic crystals, and make money while upgrading. It can be said that this is completely a chivalrous man from another world in his mind.
It is only after understanding it that I know that the reality is very cruel - whether it is in a past life or in this life.
Money is hard to make, it's the same in every world.
It's even harder to live without worrying about food and clothing.
Of course, in this life, Chris was lucky.
And for a commoner-born man like Clover, it's even harder, doesn't he want to be a nobleman? Of course not, but in fact, he's already very close - when he becomes an eighth-level magician, he will be given the title of Viscount of the Empire. But even if there is a day, there is still a difference between him and the real nobles.
Because, he has no territory, that is, the viscount title is actually just a fictitious title, in addition to receiving a very high "salary" every year in the eyes of the commoners, he must also fight for the empire free of charge in the event of a war in the empire.
Chris is still known as the "country landlord" because his family lives in the north far away from the imperial capital, let alone such a little viscount who has an empty title but no territory and real power?
A country is bound to have various strata.
Leaving aside the special Temple of Light, the royal family, nobles, and commoners seem to be only three classes, but if you look closely, the commoners are divided into six classes: merchants, craftsmen, hawkers, farmers, mercenaries, and outcasts or beggars.
A "quasi-nobleman" like Clover may be called "Lord Lord" in the social arena, but in fact, if there is no other adventure such as obtaining military exploits, marrying a high-ranking nobleman, or becoming a ninth-level and tenth-level magician, he will never be recognized by the real aristocracy for the rest of his life.
This is also the reason why he has not been able to truly integrate into the circle of these nine noble children and students.
There's really no way around this, let's just talk about China in the previous life.
The first level is represented by incumbent members and retired members of the Standing Committee.
The second strata is represented by incumbent provincial and ministerial-level cadres with real power, retired committee members, some powerful people, wealthy businessmen, and big bankers.
The third class is represented by ordinary provincial ministries, vice-provincial ministries, and bureaus with special real power, or large business owners, ordinary powerful and wealthy businessmen, presidents of prestigious universities, and middle-class bankers.
The fourth class is dominated by general prefectural and departmental levels, county and department levels, academicians, university professors, senior professional managers, famous doctors, famous lawyers, college presidents, performing arts stars, well-known writers, medium-sized business owners, small bankers, and so on. Ordinary people can reach this level at most through struggle.
The fifth class is represented by small business owners, cadres at the level of ordinary divisions, deputy directors or departments with real power, professors, middle-level professional managers, landlords with many apartments in big cities, second- and third-tier stars, and well-known doctors, lawyers, and engineers.
The sixth class is dominated by ordinary civil servants, mainstream enterprise employees, young college teachers, ordinary freelancers, general doctors and lawyers, general engineers, and large self-employed people.
The seventh stratum is represented by ordinary enterprise workers, marginalized people in the system, small self-employed people, urban indigenous, and wealthy farmers.
The eighth estate is represented by sweatshop workers, ordinary farmers, etc.
The ninth stratum is represented by the unemployed at the bottom of big cities and peasants in remote mountainous areas.
Levels 1-3 are the upper class of China's society, and ordinary people cannot enter unless they have adventures.
Levels 4-6 are the middle class of China's society, which are the high, middle and low middle classes, and it is very good for ordinary people to be able to freeze at level 5 through hard work.
Levels 7-9 are the bottom of Chinese society, the grassroots class.
In the previous life, it was a society with a relatively perfect economy and legal system, let alone in this magical world where industry and manufacturing have not yet developed?
To put it bluntly, this is the same as the survival of Warcraft: the law of the forest.
