"Rejection of wizards?" When the strong man heard this, he explained coldly: "We are not rejecting wizards, but rejecting wizards who use extraordinary power to do evil!" ”

"No one in the Academy League sanctioned them, but in the Free City-States... In front of the law enforcement team, these scum will be sentenced to death! ”

Then he smiled at Roman: "Actually, you don't have to be afraid, as long as you obey the law, no one will reject you." ”

At this time, Roman asked, "What about your law enforcement team?" Wouldn't the Ringwraith-Knight rely on supernatural strength to do evil like wizards? ”

The strong man shook his head and said: "Of course not, the power of the spirit of the ring is given by the king, or it can be withdrawn by the king, and the king asks us to enforce the law and sacrifice criminals, and we will naturally not disobey." ”

As soon as Roman heard this, he immediately extinguished his desire to join, what is the use of coming if the power does not belong to him? It's better to continue to be a wizard, at least you have the ability to flip the table.

However, he said vaguely: "I plan to understand the free city-state before making a decision, you know, this is not a trivial matter. ”

The strong man nodded in understanding, and said enthusiastically: "No problem, come to me at any time if you think about it, in addition, you can call me for registration, I am familiar with the process, and it can go a lot smoother!" ”

After saying goodbye to Marcus, Roman and Joss returned to the room, and Joss asked, "Roman, the law enforcement team should be the privileged class, should we join?" ”

Roman shook his head and said: "If you don't join, if you join, you need to freeze the wizard's cultivation, this is the foundation of our life, and we can't afford to lose." ”

Joss frowned and asked, "But the law enforcement team is our channel to contact the privileged class, wouldn't it be a pity to give up like this?" ”

Roman corrected: "Of course not, although I don't know much about the free city-state, I'm sure there is more than one upward channel!" ”

"We need to get to know the local area before we make a decision!"

Joss said that she understood, then licked her lips and said with a sly smile: "Speaking of in-depth understanding, we haven't known each other for a long time, now let's understand!" ”

(10,000 words omitted below...) ）

The sand boat replenished its energy and sped up its speed, reaching its destination in just seven days with fifteen days left on its journey.

During this period, the wizards encountered another wave of ten thousand beasts, relying on energy reserves, according to the old method, easily broke through the siege and escaped.

Marcus came to Roman several times, hoping to deepen the relationship and pull him into the law enforcement team, but Roman was too busy to get to know Joss better, so how could he ignore him?

In public, Joss snuggled up to Roman tightly, with a smile on her face that was quiet and contented, Marcus felt particularly glaring, and the low self-esteem of the single dog prevented him from stepping forward to talk.

After disembarking, several people enter the black market, return the boat, return the deposit, and in addition to this, receive a large reward for completing the clean-up task.

Leaving the black market, the six wizards parted ways, and after nearly two months of getting along, except for Marcus, the rest Roman didn't even know his name.

I guess this is the normal life of a wizard, I wonder if he will be like this in the future as time goes by.

At this time, Joss tugged at Roman's sleeve and pointed into the distance, and Roman looked up to see that Marcus was waving at the two.

He said enthusiastically: "Both, I will take you to the city hall and visit the city by the way." ”

The free city-state is not large, about the same as a prefecture-level city on Earth, and its ruler is a king-level devourer, which is what Marcus called "king".

But he had never seen the king, and he had never appeared in public, and no one knew what the king looked like.

In the eyes of the king, human beings are all domestic animals and food, and the free city-state is its farm, and under the protection of the king, Roman cannot see a single devourer.

Everywhere is fertile and thousands of miles away, fertile fields are everywhere, and walking corpse agriculture is booming, a scene of living and working in peace and contentment.

As far as the eye can see, in addition to the mountains in the distance, it is surrounded by a large black soil plain, and a large river flows down from the mountains and runs through the city-state.

The black soil is fertile, the terrain is flat, and the water resources are abundant, which is suitable for agricultural development.

Roman and Joss followed Marcus, listening thoughtfully to his introduction.

"The free polis consisted of five cities, which did not differ from each other, outside the city were the landlord districts, which produced food and handicraft products, and the inner towns, which were populaceous, inhabited by workers and tenant farmers..."

At this time, the group walked in the landlord's area, and Roman asked: "I just saw a building like a manor castle, is it the landlord's mansion?" ”

"That's right," Marcus explains, "they own land outside the city, build workshops or cultivate farmland, and organize agricultural and handicraft production. ”

"Land?" Roman's eyes lit up: "Is it the same as the lord of the Academy Alliance?" ”

Marcus pursed his lips and denied:

"The landlords have no private soldiers, no people, no taxes, only the right to manage the land, not the right to rule, and they have to complete the production target and hand over part of the output"

"The landlord is made up of transcendents, knights, grand knights, and wizards can all apply to contract land."

Roman frowned and asked, "Production indicators?" Then you have to squeeze the serfs hard! ”

Marcus shook his head: "There are no serfs here, and if there is a shortage of labor, farmers or workers can be hired. ”

As if fearing that Roman would choose to become a landlord, he continued:

"Don't look at the landlord's control of the land, but it is very hard, don't want to easily complete the production target, if you can't complete it three times, it is illegal.

When hiring, you are also subject to labor laws, if you are a little more exploitative, arrears of wages, overtime without overtime pay... Or is it illegal.

Here, there is only one end to breaking the law, and that is to send a living sacrifice. ”

Roman was taken aback and asked, "Is there a labor law here?" Did I hear me right? ”

Marcus said as a matter of course: "Of course, in order to ensure happiness and increase the fertility rate, the labor rights and interests of civilians are protected. ”

Roman said lightly: "According to what you say, it seems good to be a commoner, stable and comfortable, protected by the law, I just heard that they implement a rationing system." ”

Marcus shook his head:

"Civilians live in the city, they are centrally managed, their personal freedom is restricted, and they need a pass to leave the village."

"And the legal network in the city is dense, and the most living sacrifices every year are civilians, who enforce the strictest laws, and if nothing else, they will be sacrificed if they throw garbage anywhere."

Qiao Si said lightly: "No wonder the transcendent would rather the local lord than a civilian, they need to cultivate, it is impossible to accept strict management, and they will not die as a civilian."

The landlord is outside the city, there are fewer legal constraints, and there is more freedom, so we should become landlords. ”

Marcus smiled: "Actually, you have a third choice, and that is to join the law enforcement team!" ”

Roman pursed his lips and asked, "Is there any benefit?" ”

Marcus introduced: "Even if the landlords are freer, it is only relative to the commoners, and the range of activities of the transcendents is still limited, and the production indicators will crowd out their cultivation time. ”

"But the law enforcement team is different, they obey more lenient laws, the degree of freedom is higher, the combat power of the Ringwraithmann is not lost to the wizard, you will have enough time and resources to cultivate and become stronger..."

Roman pondered and did not speak.

Subsequently, the three of them visited the city and saw with their own eyes a bear child smashing someone's glass and being taken away to become the next batch of sacrifices.

With a dense legal net, heavy penalties for minor crimes, and easy to blame, Roman completely extinguished his mind of being a civilian.

But the landlord didn't seem to be very good, and Roman didn't want to join the law enforcement team, so he fell into a difficult choice for a while.
