Chapter 201: Wizards Who Don't Pay Taxes and Civilians Who Can't Fish Out of Oil and Water (Subscription Requested)

Listening to these numbers, Lynn only felt that his head was big, he personally participated in the whole incident, and guessed that there would definitely be a lot of deaths, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.

In addition, in the course of the follow-up investigation, the security team also discovered a strange thing. On the day of the catastrophe, nine wizards in Harbor Town were inexplicably traumatized, five of whom had been confirmed dead, and the remaining four had severe brain damage, no different from death. Orlando continued.

"After searching the mansions of these wizards, the vigilantes found some books on psionic magic, as well as this thing......"

Orlando took out a small box and placed it in front of Lynn, which contained nine ring-like things.

"Each of them carries this thing with them, judging by the runes on it, it may be a kind of magic that communicates with each other, but the spell on it has long since expired, and there is no way to track it further."

"Leave this matter to me, and I'll find Master Raphael to study it in depth when I have time." Lynn nodded quietly, put away these [Rings of the Faceless], and prepared to directly rework them into [Rings of Secret Law] when the time came.

Orlando nodded, didn't think much of it, and moved on to another thing.

When Hellam's death was revealed, more than thirty wizards chose to leave the harbor of Iyeta, and some even changed their doors to join other schools, taking some apprentices with them.

"Do you need me to send someone to invite them back? I think these people would be happy to do so. Orlando said with a smile.

He felt that most of these wizards were repentant when they learned that Lynn had received the Corona Medal.

They would never have imagined that instead of declining, the Iyeta school had a tendency to soar.

"No, since it's their own choice, let them go." Lynn shook her head, not sorry, these people didn't have a sense of belonging to Iyeta, and it wasn't necessarily a good thing to stay.

You must know that sometimes the inner ghost is more difficult to deal with than the external enemy, and he is very short of people now, yes, but not everyone......

Lynn, on the other hand, felt that although the entire harbor city had gone through a lot of hardships, it was not without benefits, at least most of the unrest in the school had been removed.

"What about the poor and their families who were affected by the disaster? Is it all arranged? Has the pension been paid? Lynn asked with concern.

Although the whole story of this matter has little to do with him, it was Helram who did it, and the council withheld this information for the sake of the stability of the wizarding lands, at least they had to settle these innocent victims.

The total population of the entire Iyeta harbor is already small, and the poor people living in the southern city are dispensable waste in the eyes of wizards, but in the eyes of Lynn they are very good working people.

"This ...... Iyeta probably won't be able to come up with that much money now. Orlando's face showed a somewhat hesitant look, and he said helplessly.

Lynn was stunned, as the largest harbor city in the Wizarding Lands, and also monopolized some foreign trade, it should be very rich.

Could it be that when Helram was secretly studying psionic magic, he secretly spent all the reserve funds in the harbor of Iyeta?

Lynn quickly found some of the financial reports from a pile of materials, and after reading them for a few minutes, she found that the entire economic situation in Iyeta could only be described as weird.

First of all, wizards and civilians are completely two economic systems, and there is not much connection with each other except that the latter needs to supply food to the former.

After all, it is rare for cherished magic materials to be sold for a few or even a dozen magic gold coins, and a laborer who does not know magic cannot make so much money in his lifetime.

Wizards are also basically not engaged in ordinary production activities, and they make alchemical tools and potions that only wizards can afford.

So the thousands of wizards and a large number of apprentices in the entire wizarding land have formed a unique cycle, building an economic superstructure that is completely out of touch with the common people.

The most important thing is that as a privileged class, they don't even pay taxes!

In the past, the finances of the harbor cities basically did not rely on taxes, and they could not get any oil and water from the common people, and basically only collected a symbolic amount.

The real big boss is relying on foreign trade, taking advantage of the geographical advantage of the seaport of Iyeta close to the outside world, through the merchant ships to transport all kinds of ores and scarce goods of the wizarding land, and then they only need to turn around and sell to Greenriel City to make a lot of money.

Yes, it's just a lot of money...... Although this is a near-monopoly business, foreign trade also means taking the risk of exposing the entire wizarding lands.

In exchange for the acquiescence of the council, the price of the scarce materials transferred over was set in advance, and it was impossible to make huge profits from this, and there was an annual income of about 30,000 magic coins, which was enough to supply the operation of the entire harbor city.

Thanks to him, one of the three lines has been broken, and the biggest source of finance is likely to shrink.

Lynn immediately felt that the tens of thousands of magic gold coins he had earned from selling glass, paper pages, and even airships didn't seem to be a lot.

I can still make money every day now, but it may not be possible in a few months.

The entire Wizarding Lands only has a population of hundreds of thousands, and the market is too small to saturate quickly, so it is necessary to consider continuing to expand foreign trade.

Many of his next big actions basically need money, and it is also a lot of money to appease the families of the poor people who died in vain in Nancheng District.

Lynn thought about it for a long time, and already had a rough idea in her mind, so she looked at Orlando. "I probably already know the situation in the port of Iyeta, I will take out 10,000 magic gold coins to replenish the vault, and settle the innocent people in the southern city first, and I can't delay any longer."

"As for the rest of the funds, all of them will be used to buy these materials." Lynn handed over a thin sheet of paper that had already been written.

Orlando took it, no matter how many times, when he saw this white as snow-white paper, he couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart, who would have thought that this thing was actually made of wood.

"Well, saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, brass, ......" Orlando glanced at it, the page was full of all kinds of raw materials, such as saltpeter and charcoal, and some ores that he had never heard of, and Lynn had specially marked many characteristics of these ores, so that he could find out if anyone knew them.
