It seemed that the four of them were quiet due to lack of sleep, and Art had not yet recovered from his mental exhaustion. While sitting in the carriage, he had been meditating with his eyes closed to restore his mental strength.

The lively Lina seemed calm and taciturn at this time.

The Flors and his wife had no intention of speaking. Baruto on the other side tried to speak several times but was ignored. He could only helplessly start looking at the scenery outside.

This section of the journey went smoothly. As time went by, the sky gradually became brighter. At this time, Lina began to chat with everyone.

Seeing Lina's interest, Baruto's eyes lit up and he seemed very familiar with it. He immediately started chatting with everyone about the various legends and experiences he had heard.

Especially the legends from thousands of years ago.

"It is said that in ancient times, the people who ruled various dynasties were not wizards, and the nobles were not blue-blooded, but just a group of ordinary people. At that time, wizards were just an extraordinary profession among many professionals, and their power was also limited.

Not too powerful." Baruto waved his arms and spoke vividly about the historical legends he had heard in the northernmost port city of the Kingdom of Allen.

Art couldn't help but open his eyes and look at him.

"How is it possible?" Lina was the first to sneer, "Nobles are ordinary people? Then how can they become lords? How can those extraordinary beings be willing to pay taxes obediently? Why not overthrow him?"

Noble - a powerful, powerful human being, a blue-blooded person, and a spellcaster.

This concept is already deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. No one would believe that ordinary people with no power can stand on the head of powerful spellcasters and other professionals.

You must know that even the holy priests who are as famous as the Holy See and represent "holiness" and "justice" in people's hearts have never said that nobles are evil, and holy magic will not be harmful to wizards and nobles.

They cause harm.

This direct question made Baruto's face turn red. Usually, every time he mentioned this in a tavern, who among the others wouldn't be the first to marvel?

How can anyone doubt it at first sight?

However, he himself has thought about this issue, and based on his knowledge, he made the following inference:

"The royal family and nobles recruit extraordinary people. These loyal extraordinary people can suppress other professionals."

Lina curled her lips: "Recruitment? Why would a transcendent be solicited by ordinary people?"

Art was listening beside him, but he had no doubt in his heart.

Although Baruto has a lot of knowledge and has done some thinking, he himself does not take these things too seriously, nor does he think too deeply, nor does he think of another model that can replace the current ruling model.

.

Baruto, who was hesitating and unable to speak, was naturally despised by others.

As ordinary people, the Flowers even labeled Baruto with labels such as "liar", "boasting", and "spreading lies".

Such a look made Baruto more and more anxious, and his face turned red.

At this time, Art suddenly said: "The rulers are not blue-blooded people, but they are also extraordinary people. Those ordinary people are the descendants of the extraordinary people."

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Art added: "Actually, it's almost the same as now."

Bias, Truno and others nodded suddenly, it was indeed not much different.

Noticing the expressions of the people around him, Art curled his lips inwardly, it was much worse.

The multiple wizard dynasties today are in fact ruled by the power model.

He could probably guess the existence of the nobles in this so-called "ancient" dynasty——

It is nothing more than the rule of force.

There are powerful professionals in the aristocracy itself, and they use this as the core to recruit other professionals. Without Baruto saying anything, he can know that this was the form of aristocratic rule at that time.

A rather primitive form of existence, like a beast dividing its territory.

With "power" as the core, blood, relationships, and interests as the ties, it is a natural law that whoever is stronger becomes the king. The subordinates and relatives of the most powerful person serve as the ruling class, and chains are spread out to form a ruling grid.

Blood ties and relationships are secondary. The core is that extraordinary people recruit extraordinary people and use interests as the ultimate tie. When maintaining this ruling class can allow them to obtain more benefits, in order to protect their own interests, extraordinary people will of course

to protect its existence.

Today's ruling model uses "blue-blooded people" as the ruling class. Only those with blue-blooded people and strength can improve their status.

Compared with the previous model, there are advantages and disadvantages. The most obvious point is, will other extraordinary beings be willing to be ruled by wizard nobles?

If nothing else, the second force besides the nobility - the Holy See - is a powerful threat.

However, this pattern has lasted for nearly ten thousand years, so there must be some underlying reasons that can delay or even resolve conflicts.

There is also another possibility that the rulers are all ordinary people, that is, these "dynasties" are all puppets, or in other words, these dynasties are the vegetable gardens and animal stables of extraordinary beings, allowing ordinary people to rule as spokesmen.

It doesn't matter even if he dies, just support another spokesperson.

Power mode, alliance mode, puppet mode.

In a short period of time, several governance models emerged in Art's mind.

The core of everything is - interests.

There are only individuals who betray the class, but there is no class that betrays the class.

A slave in the lowest class, after climbing to the top, will of course protect the class he currently lives in. At most, he will release goodwill towards the original class. However, if these goodwill go against the interests of the class, they will be affected.

All kinds of obstacles.

Not to mention others, after this slave becomes a merchant, he will give priority to safeguarding the interests of the merchant class; when the slave becomes a noble, he will give priority to safeguarding the interests of the noble class.

Even if he succeeds in breaking down classes and influencing society, what goes up must go down, absolute fairness does not exist, class cannot disappear, and the idea of ​​a unified world can only be a fantasy.

The current form of existence of the aristocratic class is - each noble has its own strength, and is not only the ruler of a region, but also the guardian of a region. Those nobles and royal nobles themselves are powerful extraordinary beings, but these extraordinary beings

Not just a wizard.

Of course, this is only one of the possibilities, and there may be other possibilities, but he has not understood the original history in detail. Most of the heroic biographies and poems collected by Art are within ten thousand years old.

It turns out that he was born in a different world where information exploded and education became universal. Art's knowledge was much broader than theirs. Although he didn't know much, he could still tell because he liked to study the background of various games.

.

I can still afford the titles of "keyboard historian", "keyboard political scientist", "keyboard folklorist" and "keyboard economist".

Just because Art can think of it, doesn't mean that others can think of it.

"This..." Baruto did not think about the depth of the puppet mode. However, although Art denied the idea of ​​"ordinary people as dynasty nobles", it also solved his problem. Under the influence of others, Art

After averting his gaze, he wisely chose not to speak.

However, Art did not let go of his plan. He wanted to hear more information:

"Baruto, are there any other interesting rumors?"

Art classified his statement as "interesting rumors", and others also turned their attention to it.

"Yes." After secretly deciding not to believe these "ridiculous legends" anymore, Baruto began to talk about the rumors from other areas with a smile on his face.

Although he likes to brag, his conversation is still humorous and interesting. With the mentality of "listening to a story", Lina and others did not correct or refute, that is, they only made occasional remarks.

Art, on the other hand, squinted his eyes and carefully discerned the various rumors that Baruto said.

Art, who was considered an extraordinary person in his own right, would certainly not be gullible, but he would not reject it easily either.

Maybe you will encounter it in the future. If so, it may come in handy.

Rumors can harm people, but in the eyes of smart people, rumors have a different message. Even the spread of rumors itself is an important piece of information - who spread it, where did it spread, and why did it spread?

As he spoke, the sky became completely bright. After Truno, Byas and others killed several wild beasts, they completely left the forest and came to the road.

Nearly half an hour after the team walked out of the forest, they met another team.

This was a large team, seemingly a caravan, with several small caravans and several medium-sized caravans inside - the various signs told Art this.

Without saying anything else, Truno and Bias decided to get closer.

After getting closer, Art could clearly see that they were coming from another direction, and they should be from the Earldom of Ludi or the Earldom of Serra.

This location is already very close to the town of Dilude. With the speed of this caravan, it can reach Dilude in about one day. It is normal to meet them here.

In addition to the caravans, there are also many professionals who are hired by the caravans as mercenaries to protect the caravans along the way.

When they saw Art and others, these mercenaries immediately clenched their weapons and secretly became vigilant.

"I am the mercenary team of Glora!" Truno shouted loudly, walked forward, and held up a emblem similar to the badge on his chest, but different from it in his palm.

Several people walked out of the team, and they seemed to be the mercenary captains responsible for protecting these caravans.

After a few minutes, Truno turned around and waved to Art and others:
Chapter completed!
