"Boom Boom Boom ———!!!"

Under the overcast sky, thunder roared.

The howling wind mixed with the torrential rain blew and hit the windows with a "crackling" sound.

Hearing the sound, the blonde girl lying on the bed trembled suddenly, sat up, looked around, and then let out a sigh.

This blonde aristocratic girl is none other than Amy, the daughter of Seth's high-ranking official Ratton.

It's just that at this moment, she no longer has the usual arrogant domineering, but her face is pale, haggard, and panicked.

Saham's body was placed in the park of the Level 1 Civic District, his head was stuck in a wooden stake, and the killer left a letter explaining why Saham was killed. It's because he incarnated as a knight with a sword, wantonly killing level 2 citizens, and he died innocently!

Most of the high-level officials didn't pay attention to this matter, after all, many of Seth's high-level aristocratic officials had similar behaviors, but they were the first to see Saham who was stupid enough to run to the second-level civic area to die. So in the eyes of the senior Seth officials, Saham was just like everyone else, because he wanted to have fun, so he often walked by the river and then fell down and drowned.

But Amy knows that this game of knights with knives is actually up to her, and Saham, as her fiancé, just wants to help!

Because of this, when the news of Saham's murder came out, Amy was terrified, and although others didn't know, she knew that she was the culprit. You know, Saham is still her fiancé, which is why he pleases himself so much. Fortunately now, his father didn't know that Saham had died playing with him, otherwise the family would not have had a good time.

But even so, she was terrified, and even though she lived in the safest part of the Level 1 civic area, her father assured her that there would be no problems with the security team protecting her. But Amy, who is a thief, still locks herself in the room alone, and her father only thinks that the news that Amy was killed by her fiancé has been shocked, so he doesn't think much about it.

And Amy didn't dare to explain this to her father, after all, if her father knew that Saham died because of him, it would be a big trouble!

So she just shrank at home, not daring to go out, but even so, Amy's life was not easy. After all, Saham was her fiancé and died because of her "game", although killing people is nothing new for Amy, she has watched her fiancé kill those level 2 citizens several times, but for Amy, those level 2 citizens are not people. But Saham is different, he is his fiancé, he is an acquaintance, even if the relationship between the two parties is not so deep, and it still feels different to witness the killing of someone he knows, and the killing of strangers.

In fact, Amy has been having nightmares these days, dreaming that Saham, who had her head twisted off, came to the door and asked her why she didn't come to save herself, and pointed at her and shouted "It's all your fault, you have to pay me!" ”

Frightened, Amy hadn't slept well for days.

I don't know why, she always feels ......... There was a vague sense of unease, as if something bad was going to happen around me.

At the same time, in the camp of the rebel group, Duanmu Huai is giving a lecture to Uruze——— or rather, the leader of the rebel group wants to ask Duanmu Huai if there is any good solution to the current situation in the Seth Kingdom.

In addition to Uruze, Kanami and Shizuka also joined in the fun, after all, they also wanted to hear what Duanmu Huai could say. In addition to them, there are also Xun and the old doctor, for different purposes, who also want to hear what Duanmu Huai has to say.

However, the first sentence Duanmu Huai said surprised everyone.

"Strictly speaking, there is a valid reason for Level 1 citizens to look down on Level 2 citizens."

"Huh?"

I have to say that this surprised everyone.

Is there a valid reason for Level 1 citizens to discriminate against Level 2 citizens?

"Do you remember what the man named Saham said?"

Duanmu Huai looked at Kanami Danami and Shizuka Magi, who nodded.

"Of course I remember, that man said that in front of the first-level citizens, the second-level citizens are no different from beasts, he is just here to destroy monsters, and it is not a bad deed at all........."

Speaking of this, Kanami also showed an expression of disgust, and Maxiang Shizuka also nodded.

However, Duanmu Huai's next answer startled them again.

"Actually, he's right."

"Adult ???"

Uruze only felt that his ears were not good, was this to help them? Or are you harming them?

"Let me give you a review of the laws of the Kingdom of Seth......... I'll leave this to the old gentleman to explain. ”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at the old man in a white coat standing beside Uruze.

"Please repeat the difference between a Level 1 citizen and a Level 2 citizen in the Seth Kingdom."

"Okay."

Although the old doctor didn't know what Duanmu Huai wanted to say, he still nodded and spoke.

"Level 1 citizens have privileges, but they also have obligations to pay taxes, levy troops, and provide mana. Level 2 citizens have no privileges, but they are also not obligated to live under the protection of Level 1 citizens. ”

"That's the problem."

Duanmu Huai nodded, while the others still looked confused.

"Questions?"

"That's right, haven't you seen it yet? Level 1 citizens have privileges, but they are subject to taxes, conscription, and mana supply. Although Level 2 citizens do not have privileges, they do not have the above obligations——— to put it simply, a considerable part of the taxes of Level 1 citizens are to support Level 2 citizens, and Level 2 citizens basically do not have to be captive by Level 1 citizens......... To be honest, I don't even understand the operation of the Seth Kingdom........."

"Ah............h

Hearing this, everyone seemed to react.

"So you mean ........."

"That's right, to put it simply, Level 1 citizens need to work, they need to put in the effort, but Level 2 citizens don't say good, even if their life is poor, they don't need to work to live, and they won't be assigned jobs......... To be honest, if it weren't for the poor living environment of Level 2 citizens, I would have wondered which side was the uncle. ”

Duanmu Huai said as he spread his hands.

To be honest, when he first heard about it, Duanmu Huai thought that he had a problem with his ears and misheard, generally speaking, this kind of class differentiation is not absent, but generally the lower classes are used to work as coolies or slaves. Even in ancient times, wouldn't slaves be the worst to build pyramids?

However, these Level 2 citizens of the Seth Kingdom do not need to work, and they can also receive rations, although there are not many and no one can starve to death. And there was no forced labor that they had to do, and there was even a place for them to live.

In other words, in addition to being discriminated against and bullied by Level 1 citizens, Level 2 citizens basically have no problems as long as they lie flat at home.

Conversely, Class 1 citizens may have privileges, but they must work hard, serve in the military, and pay taxes. In other words, when they work in 007 or 996, part of their remuneration has to be taxed to support Level 2 citizens!

For example, in the city where the sword-wielding knight slashed people before, according to the old doctor, there were 100,000 first-class citizens and 1.1 million second-level citizens in that city.

In other words, 100,000 people feed 1 million people.

Who can stand this Nima?

To be honest, Duanmu Huai didn't understand what the original builder of the Seth Kingdom was thinking.

You said that you let this group of poor people be slaves and do hard labor, he can understand, but he is also a productive force, isn't it?

As a result, they have no obligations, but they also have no right to work, and there are rations to be issued to them.

Good guys, co-authoring this group of Level 2 citizens will not do anything, just give birth to a child, right?

Do you think this level 1 citizen can endure it?

People work hard to study, work hard to get into school, work hard to graduate, work hard to make money, and as a result, some of them have to "honor" Level 2 citizens......... Unless a Level 1 citizen is a virgin, isn't it right to look down on this group of parasites?

Why don't other countries have this problem?

The reason is also very simple, people in other countries can support themselves even if they don't know magic. For example, those people Duanmuhuai met, it doesn't matter if they don't know magic, they can go to open a hotel, open a props shop, or go to a restaurant to be a maid or something, and it's not a big problem to support yourself, right? Or go on adventurers?

So there is no such thing in other countries, everyone feeds for themselves, and no one owes anyone.

But ——— Seth, these Level 2 citizens really owe it to Level 1 citizens.

If it weren't for the hard work of Level 1 citizens and the soldiers, whether they would survive or not is a matter of two questions.

This is like those high-welfare countries in modern society, where people work hard to pay taxes and pay taxes, but they look back at the homeless man Nima on the street who lives more comfortably than themselves, can this be endured?

So Duanmu Huai couldn't figure out what kind of mentally retarded circuit the Seth Kingdom was engaged in in this operation.

That's a 1:10 ratio.

Although the kingdom of Seth is highly productive because of its advanced magic, it is not so tossed.

This is equivalent to 1 Level 1 citizen working hard to support 10 Level 2 citizens.

Who do you say?

After Duanmu Huai told this truth, everyone was directly silent.

They didn't expect Duanmu Huai to say this......... There is really a reason for him!

"So, what Saham said is not without his reason, in the eyes of many Level 1 citizens, Level 2 citizens are similar to their pets, and they may not be willing to raise ........."

“…………………”

Now everyone is speechless, before they just felt that the level 2 citizens were pitiful, and the level 1 citizens were domineering, but now they are put in the position of level 1 citizens......... I work on my own and have to support ten strangers I've never met?

That bothered, sorry, farewell.

None of the donkeys in the production team were squeezed like this.

This situation also happens in modern times, for example, in some countries, young people will even go to nursing homes to kill those old people, and call them "old victims", because they think that these old people are useless in their lives, and they waste the money they have earned through hard work, and more importantly, these people are not their parents, and they do not support their own families? Why use these taxes to support outsiders?

If you don't pay taxes and do this, then we can't live a little better!

Of course, there are also people who kill homeless people for fun, or push them off the railroad tracks, and generally for the same reason, thinking that it is better for these people to waste their taxes than to die.

This kind of thing happens in modern societies governed by the rule of law, and it is not surprising that in a place like Seth.

Of course, this also has something to do with Seth's system, Level 2 citizens have no rights, but they also have no obligations. So they don't have a job and don't need to work, so what's the use of them living......... Then only God knows.

Is it just to teach a few more magicians to have children?

Are Level 2 citizens pathetic? Poor is pitiful, the food is not good, the clothes are shabby, the housing is not good, and they are divided by class.

But......... What is the use of them alive?

They can't be soldiers to fight, they can't work, and they can't even be coolies.

So what is the meaning of their lives?

In ancient times, even tyrants knew that they could not kill their people indiscriminately at will, not because of how wise they were, but no matter how stupid a tyrant was, he knew that someone had to farm the land and someone to collect grain, and he killed everyone.

But Seth is obviously not like this, and this distorted and deformed system is another reason why Level 1 citizens don't treat Level 2 citizens as human beings, because......... From the country's point of view, Level 2 citizens really have no use for fart except for having children!

They don't work, they don't farm, they kill them, they kill them, what if they die hundreds of thousands? It didn't affect Seth for a penny!

This is also the reason why those senior Seth officials before would come up with such a proposal that seems ridiculous to outsiders, because in their opinion, it is not ridiculous at all, even if these Level 2 citizens are dead, the operation of the country will not be affected even in the slightest, in this case, then what difference does it make if these Level 2 citizens are alive or dead?

It's a little cleaner when you're dead!

"In my opinion, this is the root of the class contradiction in the Seth Kingdom, not as simple as the contradiction between magicians and non-magicians on the surface."

Duanmu Huai clapped his hands and made a summary.

"In the eyes of Level 1 citizens, they work hard to pay taxes, but they have to support idlers, of course, they are not happy. For Level 2 citizens, they have no other purpose in life than to live, so they can only vent their resentment of abuse on Level 1 citizens, and the latter is of course unwilling to accept such ridiculous accusations as Level 2 citizens, so there is little room for reconciliation between the two parties. ”

One thinks I've worked so hard to raise you, and you still have to oppose me, what's the difference between me and a white-eyed wolf.

One feels that he has no goal in life, no motivation, and is bullied all day long, which is unacceptable.

"So......... So, whose fault is it? ”

Hearing this, Uruzer was already confused. Her original ideals were still very pure, thinking that it was unfair for Level 2 citizens to be bullied, and that it was a wrong behavior for magicians to bully ordinary people, so she wanted to rebel against all this. But she didn't expect that there would be such a problem behind it.

"It's a problem with the system."

Duanmu Huai directly gave the final answer.

"In other countries, where is this kind of, whether it is Free City or Lisas, even if you are not a magician, people can find their own work and life, this is not only their way of life, but also forms a balance of power. Because these people have infiltrated every corner of the country, the operation of the country must also depend on them, in this case, then even if these people are not magicians and do not have strong force, the country must find a way to appease and give them a part of the benefits, so as to prevent the country itself from losing control, don't believe it, ask Kanami and Shizuka, if Lisas and the Free City Alliance suddenly say that they will kill all non-magicians, if nothing else, can their country still function? ”

Hearing this, both of them shook their heads, this must be impossible! Even if it doesn't provoke a popular uprising, if all the non-magicians are killed, then the country will definitely shut down.

"But why is this the only system that exists in Seth?"

Uruze still didn't understand, and Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know about this, as long as I know the crux of the problem, then it may be ......... Seth, as a magic kingdom, wants to ensure that magicians are naturally superior, so he uses this brain-dead strategy. You see, as I said before, once the civilians who do not know magic infiltrate every corner of the country, then in order to ensure its stable operation, the state must give some benefits to the civilians to appease them. But Seth didn't need to do this, and the advantage of doing so was obvious, that is, they didn't have to care about the thoughts of Level 2 citizens, and Level 2 citizens had no influence on the country. Of course, this is not a big problem when the number of citizens in Level 2 is not large. But once there are more people, then the problem naturally comes........."

After all, even if you can still kill and eat meat by raising pigs, you level 2 citizens are not even as good as pigs.........

Think of how angry a farmer would be if he raised a farm of pigs but couldn't slaughter them.

"Bang!!"

However, before Duanmu Huai's words were finished, suddenly there was a loud noise, and everyone followed the voice in confusion, only to see that behind them, a black-haired girl with a red face, stood up tremblingly, and even turned over to the chair!

"Smoked? What happened to you? ”

Seeing that the assistant in her resistance group was so excited, Uruzer was also quite surprised, and hearing Uruzer's inquiry, Smoke seemed to react, but she saluted Uruzah.

"I'm sorry, I've thought of something very important, forgive my rudeness!"

After saying this, Xun turned around and left in a hurry.

What's wrong with her?

Watching Smoke's departure, everyone was also puzzled, not knowing what the situation was.

At this moment, the smoke is flushed and his heart is beating faster.

As a member of the undercover rebellion sent by the King, Smoke is of course well aware that the King has been struggling with the problems between Level 1 citizens and Level 2 citizens, but he can't think of any good solutions. And today, after listening to Duanmu Huai's explanation, she suddenly opened her mouth, was empowered, and her eyes lit up.

I see! It turns out that the problem of the Seth Kingdom is here!!

She had to report the matter to the king at once!!
