Four days later, Liu Feng, Jin Guang and his party appeared in a small town on the border of the Amara Basin. In addition to Liu Feng and Jin Guang, they and their party also had three capable users, namely Ryan who mastered the flame wolf, Tony who was possessed by Li Anping, and Ivan from Ice Castle.
In addition, they were accompanied by three sociologists, economists and military experts.
In the small town, although their clothes were worn out and rough like ordinary civilians, their relatively delicate skin, tall and strong figure, and confident eyes all distinguished them from the residents of the small town.
The economist Frante on the side rubbed his eyes, because he was short-sighted, so he had to wear contact lenses during this inspection, which made him feel a little unaccustomed to it.
He and Liu Feng on the side said: "According to our observations during this period, they are still in the era of using animal power, but because of the existence of magic, their agriculture is extremely developed, and they don't have to worry about any natural disasters. This makes them China's food problem has been completely solved, but their commodity economy has not developed... "
Lauren, a sociologist on the side, added: "Because there is a natural class in their society, that is magicians. Compared with our ability users, the society here develops earlier and stronger because of magic, and the society here is more sensitive to magic. The dependence is also much stronger. Agriculture, construction, military, etc. all need to rely on the power of magicians.
And because magic can solve everything, no one develops science. "
Liu Feng nodded: "So civilians without magical abilities have become parasites attached to magicians, and they have become existences that can be discarded at any time. Even if there are no civilians here, magicians can survive alone."
Several people beside him nodded. Through these few days of observation, they already knew that the medieval world in front of them was a severely deformed society.
Food plants were transformed by magic, and they were all planted neatly on the pre-planned and transformed land. The only thing farmers have to do is sow and harvest.
All the buildings in the town were jointly built by the lower mages, and almost all of them were of the same boxy style, just like the brown linen clothes worn by civilians. For mages, civilians are just a kind of consumables, used to reduce the consumption of part of magic.
All daily necessities and food are basically evenly distributed by mages, and the commoners are raised like pigs.
People without magical talent are commoners, and those with magical talent are born superior.
A mage who can do it as a commoner can naturally do it, and a mage who can't do it as a commoner can do it even more.
On the continent of Mondor, mages are the first class, and other civilians can only become warriors if they want to get ahead, or have some special talents, such as soldiers, officials, chefs, etc., which are considered second class.
Those who have not mastered skills useful to mages are civilians, the third class. They must unconditionally obey the mage's arrangement and work for more than ten months in a year before they can be allocated enough materials to ensure their survival.
As for the lowest and fourth class, they are the prisoners of various defeated countries, criminals, aliens, etc. They were considered slaves, almost like animals. Can be bought and sold and killed at will.
In the face of such a life, civilians who only possessed medieval force are powerless to resist. As long as a most ordinary high-ranking mage activates the protective force field, even if he stands there and allows civilians to attack, he will not suffer the slightest damage.
The so-called change of dynasty is nothing more than a group of mages and officials to rule.
Looking at the civilians on the street, Liu Feng and others could only see numbness and emptiness in their eyes. In addition to eating and sleeping every day, they live a life day after day and year after year.
There is no Internet, no toilets, no lights, and no TV.
Most of them probably will never leave the village or town to which they belong throughout their lives.
Almost none of them are literate, and they have never had any innovative ideas, because almost all innovations they can think of at present, magic can do it, and it can be done better.
And thousands of years of rule have already tamed all the civilians like sheep.
Liu Feng tried to change his face, talked with some civilians, and discussed some scientific, political, and financial issues with them. For example, the earth may be round, why mages are born to rule the common people, or borrow a little money to do business and so on.
But the civilians who talked with him may be surprised by Liu Feng's remarks at first, but after being curious, they will run out of interest and leave after a few words, returning to their daily life again. It was as if there was an invisible huge inertia behind them.
Some even reported to local officials to report the reactionary remarks of "Liu Feng".
Because mages not only rule them, but also their universal nanny.
If you are sick, just pray to the mage.
When there is an earthquake, just pray to the mage.
The crops are not growing, just pray to the mage.
Perhaps a small number of people in history have awakened and want to break the current situation, but they will soon be overwhelmed by the same kind around them, and finally they will disappear and return to their original numb life.
"Huh—" Jin Guang let out a breath, looking at the buildings made of mud around him. These are all houses made of mud. According to the principles of mechanics, they should not last long, but because of magic, they exist here.
Jin Guang frowned: "It's really a hellish world." He thought that if he was allowed to live in this kind of world, he would rather die.
Compared with a life of poverty, hardship, numbness, and ignorance, the state of not knowing and being satisfied with one's own ignorance and numbness is even more terrifying.
Liu Feng looked at a shop in front and said, "There is a restaurant in front, let's go there and have a rest, and collect some information by the way."
Frante on the side said: "Other information seems to be useless, mainly information about the army and mages. I'm afraid this kind of information is not easy to get."
Watson, a military expert who has rarely spoken on the other side, also said: "And from the information we have now, it seems that the army here is either a mage force, or has no combat effectiveness. Mastering zero vacuum energy, they are tantamount to early After thousands of years, it has endless energy, but lacks the corresponding thought and spiritual level to cooperate, which has created this deformed social structure.”
"Anyway, let's try it later." After Liu Feng finished speaking, he walked into the shop.
In the currency system of Mondo Continent, commoners still use the ancient metal currency. Considering the technological level of the earth, this crude metal currency is naturally very easy to counterfeit.
Before coming here, the alliance counterfeited a bunch of them for Liu Feng and the others based on Jonah's memory.
But even if they have a lot of money, in this backward ancient society, they don't have many places to spend it.
Seeing the wheat cakes and black bread being brought up on the table, Jin Guang, Liu Feng and the others showed helpless expressions.
Lack of support from modern industries, coupled with the low standard of living of civilians.
The food here is downright basic. Of course, this may also be due to the fact that the town where Liu Feng and the others are now is not prosperous.
Anyway, lacking the support of various additives and seasonings, the bread and wheat cakes in front of them are really too difficult to swallow for Jin Guang and others.
Feeling something as rough as a tree trunk rubbing against his throat and being swallowed slowly, Tony frowned.
Sociologist Frante stood up: "I'm going to the toilet." Seeing Liu Feng nodding, he walked towards the door.
Of course, he didn't really want to go to the toilet, but he wanted to find a place where no one was around and use dry food for lunch by himself. Compared with the food in front of them, the compressed dry food provided by the military has also become a delicacy.
But in order to mix into the social system of Mondo Continent, Liu Feng and the others didn't bring too much dry food. Frante also eats a little less now.
Finding a random corner, Frante controlled the nano armor and took out the dry food placed in the storage belt.
But just as he was about to eat dry food, a black shadow appeared behind Frante.
