Gold coin is justice

Chapter 686: Surface and Deep

Hearing Aylor's words like this, the cheese on the side, who seemed a little sleepy, lay down on the bed next to him and said, "Call me when I'm done. I'm going to sleep now!"

On the contrary, the other members next to each other now continue to maintain the rhythm that is completely unintelligible, all of them staring wide, looking at their own president as if looking at their foolish eyes.

Well, in fact, the others are okay, but they are crisp.The paladin who had just come to the guild for a few months now had a little pity in his eyes besides the look that looked like a fool.If it wasn't for Airo's gender identity, Airo felt that this sister would directly come up and hug herself with a burst of maternal love.

"Um... In simpler words... the problem with this town is not that the tax is too high, but that the magician has magic power to make the land fertile. But these townspeople are not like that. The ability. In order to continue to get a good harvest and not to give up the original property in this small town, they have to stay here and continue to obey the requirements of the mayor of the magician."

This kind of explanation is more or less useful. After thinking about it, Cream pinched his chin, and said, "I understand what the chairman means. In other words, these townspeople are doing their own money and income. , I am willing to obey this magician, right?"

Ai Luo smiled, nodded lightly, and continued: "They are willing to be'exploited' by that magician because they cannot rely on their own power to make the land fertile. According to them Judging from his reaction, compared with the previous farming income of the mayor of the magician, the tax collected by 50% is still within their acceptable range. Therefore, this matter itself has become very unsolvable. Up."

The president raised a finger with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in a very relaxed tone: "From the current situation, you might think that the mayor of the wizard is like a parasite. It is parasitic on so many people in this small town. But in fact, the opposite is true. It is the most critical economic foundation in this small town-agriculture, which is parasitic on this mayor."

"Because these agricultural incomes are almost entirely dependent on the mayor's magic, it is impossible for them to resist. If the mayor of the magician is driven away, their income will not increase, but will decline rapidly. This way , Who would want to make his life more miserable?"

Hearing what Airo said, the little girl still seemed to be a little unconvinced. She pouted her cheeks with an unhappy expression on her face.On the other side, Margaux raised her hand, patted the little girl's head lightly, and said with a smile, "Is it upset? It's not the first time you know our president's theory, what's upside down? of?"

Coco shook off Margaux's hand and said with a little stubbornness: "Brother President, it's not that I don't believe you, it's really annoying! If it's really as you said, the farmers in this town are If you rely on the fields that have been sorted by the magician to get more income, then on the other hand, it is impossible for that magician to plant so many fields by himself, isn’t it? The reason why these crops can grow, The role of the farmers themselves is also very important! If you really want to talk about the use, it is only half a catastrophe for both sides, how can it be that one party is parasitic on the other party?!"

At this moment, Ai Luo really felt that this little necromancer in his own guild would definitely become a very remarkable person in the future.

Originally, a child with a necromantic affinity can still not deviate in the process of growing up, which is very good in itself, and now she has such a strong sense of justice... Well, I really want to know a feeling What will a respectable necromancer look like~~~

"Coco, when you get to Hanhai City, I will take you to meet my teacher."

Coco was taken aback for a moment, the resentment on his face seemed to be a little bit wondering where to vent.

And Ai Luo continued to smile and said: "I believe that my teacher will like you very much. During our time in the competition, you can also learn more from the teacher, which will greatly benefit you. the benefits of."

The little girl shrank her neck slightly, her face turned red, and she responded softly, "That...thank you...Chairman brother..."

The smile on Airo’s face remained the same, and he continued: "So, now respond to the question you just raised. It was clearly that they planted it. The mayor only relied on magic to turn the ground, why can he become the mayor and charge With so many taxes, can you still squeeze the townspeople in this town on your own?"

"The answer is very simple. The difference is that his magic is irreplaceable. The peasants' labor is something that is very easy to replace."

"It’s even simpler to say that if all the farmers in Xueyan Town go on strike, do not produce, and do not participate in any crops, then the mayor can also come to Xueyan Town for another group of people to work. When the time comes, as long as the tax is slightly lower, I believe that many farmers will be willing to come here for farming."

"But on the other hand, if the mayor doesn't use magic power on the land here, then these farmers have nowhere to find another land magic affinity to increase the yield of the farmland here."

"The magic that can increase the yield in the farmland is what I just called the'tool of production'. Unfortunately, this production tool is currently in the hands of the mayor. The other farmers are leaving. After using this kind of production tool, there is no way to grow anything. This is the real structural contradiction in this small town at present. It is not about taxes, not about bullying men and women, let alone oppressing with power. The innocent people here."

"It is the most irreplaceable tool of production. At present, it is only in the hands of one person, and other people can't take it away, can't take it away, so it can only be oppressed on one side, nothing more."

After Airo’s detailed explanation, these members who are generally not well-educated in their own qualifications finally understand the real problem.

Airo also gave these members some time to think carefully about the issues.After they finally figured it out one by one, Coco's face began to show a little desperate expression for the first time.

"Chairman brother... this kind of thing... is there no way to change this kind of thing? A magician with magic power can suppress a complete ordinary person... Isn't there any way to change such a thing? Can't we drive away the mayor and then change someone to become the mayor... Or, let them go to the magic shop to buy magic scrolls about the earth and come and use them by themselves?"

Ai Luo smiled and said slowly: "In this case, the situation remains the same. People here still need to rely on magic to get a good life. As long as this doesn't change, they will always need the help of a magician. It means that even if the mayor is changed, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be restrained by the magician from other places."

Having said this, Aylor thought for a while and continued: "Actually, I think the situation in Pelican Town is already good. Most of the situation is because Pelican Town is originally remote, poor, and lacking. Something worth producing, so those magicians don’t bother to run so far to make money. But, you see, as long as the economic situation in Pelican Town begins to improve, members of the Royal Wizards’ Association will come and use their methods to provide It far exceeds the brightness that ordinary oil lamps can provide. This is the difference between the "tools of production" that magicians and ordinary people have. This difference in "tools of production" will further lead to the substances produced by both parties It's totally unfair, it's totally impossible."

After listening to these, Brad also looked a little depressed now.The big man lowered his head slightly, looked at his toes and said, "Then... there is really no way to change this situation... It is impossible for us to let all ordinary people have magic... this itself It's not realistic..."

At first, seeing the members giving up now, Ai Luo was also a little happy.But seeing that Brad, the most simple big man, is now so helpless, he couldn't help but curl his lips a little. After thinking about it, he could only do so.

Yes... the difference in power itself has caused the huge gap between the power that magicians and ordinary people can create.

Even if ordinary people become adventurers through training, but if they want to become more powerful adventurers, they will inevitably need some equipment with powerful magic power.Unfortunately, these magical equipment can also be traced back to those magicians if their roots are traced back.

So, how much blessings are people who are born with magical affinity by the creation god of this world?As a result, from the moment of birth, let them leave ordinary people far behind...

………… Well, actually thinking about it carefully, this gap does not seem to be irreparable.

But...well, forget it, let's put this idea aside for now.After all, my own affairs have not been settled yet, so where is the turn to think about other things?

After everyone understood, Ai Luo nodded slightly, and the smile on his face bloomed again.He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Well, since everyone understands it, then so be it. Our ox cart may not arrive until the evening. Before that, everyone will have a rest first- "

Ding Ding Ding——!

Just when Airo was about to stop the conversation, suddenly!A rush of footsteps rushed up the tattered stairs.Soon after, I only heard the door of Airo's room being pushed open!The girl named Milk is now holding the door frame breathlessly and standing in front of everyone.

"Please... please..."

Without waiting for Airo to ask, the girl's face was covered with nervous and flustered tears, and she shouted out——

"Please! Help coffee! I don't want him to die! I absolutely...don't want him to die!"

Following the girl's almost desperate cry, Coco and Margaux, the most sensitive to magic in the guild, immediately raised their heads and looked out the window as if they had sensed something.But after a short second, they immediately retracted their sights and looked at Ai Luo.

Airo breathed out a little and waved his hand: "Go, but don't make things stiff."

"Thank you, chairman brother!"

Cocoa didn't even have time to thank him, and jumped down from the window!With a wave of the magic wand in the process of falling, the undead soldier immediately appeared in midair, holding a rainbow sword to the ground.Coco, on the other hand, sat on the back of the same skeleton dog and landed steadily.

"Let go of him! Fresh and hoeing!"

Coco, who was on the ground, raised his wand and pointed it firmly at the person in front of him.

At the door of this dilapidated inn, the innkeeper was already half-dead in fright, curled up in the inn motionless.The neighbors in the surrounding neighborhoods are now closing the doors and windows, leaving only a gap to watch what is happening on the street now.

On this street, a man dressed in an earth-yellow magic cloak, about forty years old, but with half-black and half-white hair, was standing in the sun with a grim look.

Beside him is a stone pillar that rises from the ground. The hands and feet of the boy named Coffee are all integrated into the stone pillar, and the boy's neck is also stuck in the stone pillar.It can be seen that because his neck is stuck, his breathing is very difficult, and his entire face is flushed, and he is almost out of breath!

Xian, who was punishing the rebels, didn't seem to expect that a necromancer suddenly descended from the sky, and the gloomy expression on his face immediately revealed a little surprise and tension.He glanced at the undead soldier standing next to Coco, at its stable bones and sword-holding posture like a master of swordsmanship, and at the skeleton dog that was grinning directly at him. After a moment of silence, it was gloomy. He said: "Are you sent by the association? Strange, I haven't heard of such a young necromancer in the association. Besides, how can women join the association?"

Coco didn't have time to wait for this person to figure it out. At this time, the complexion of the coffee had turned purple, and his pants even got wet at this time, and he was going to die!She didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately waved her magic wand, and the undead soldier next to her stepped on her feet, and quickly rushed towards the Earth Mage.

Seeing the attack of the necromancer in front of him, he rarely dared to neglect.In order to avoid the dispersal of the magic power, he can only put away the magic power used to trap the coffee for the first time, forming an earth wall to quickly block the oncoming undead soldiers.

However, the undead soldier seemed to have expected it a long time ago, suddenly jumped up on the spot, and when it fell to the ground, the skeleton dog had arrived, and he arched his head vigorously upwards. The undead soldier stepped on the skeleton. The dog's head took advantage of the momentum to fly over the earth wall, and the rainbow sword in his hand swung towards the head of the earth magician without hesitation.

"Humph!"

The sudden change made Mayor Xian seem a little nervous. After seeing the undead soldier on his head, he quickly put away the earth wall and hurriedly waved a staff in his hand. A slope stood out from under his feet. He shifted aside, and at the same time turned around, chanting the spell quickly: "Spikes of the earth!"

With a clatter, three consecutive spurs rose from the ground, piercing the undead soldiers in a simple and clear way. The strong spurs also squeezed the soldiers' bones apart and crushed them.

But it was clear that Xian, who had always been the mayor, could not be an experienced opponent of Cocoa.Seeing that the undead soldiers were eliminated, the earth magician breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not expect that the cocoa on the other side had already quickly condensed the next magic.The crushed bone powder did not even wait for it to dissipate before condensing again. With the horrified eyes of the mayor, the rainbow sword had accurately aimed at his chest and was about to stab him straightforwardly. Go down!

"stop!"

A voice finally stopped Coco at this moment.

The undead soldier stopped, but the rainbow sword in his hand had pierced the magic cloak on the mayor's chest, and the blade had been tightly attached to his chest.

Xian Earthdigger was obviously frightened by the attack of the necromancer. Even after the necromancer had stopped, his legs still trembled, and it took a long time to reluctantly retreat. After a step, he clutched his chest and started to gasp.

"You...who are you!"

Xian retreated far, looking at the members of the Mermaid Song who had filed out of the hotel, and at so many people, his momentum was obviously weak.

"Really weak."

Margo glanced at the earth magician and snorted coldly.

Ai Luo smiled and said, "It's not that he is weak, but that you have become very strong."

Leaving a word for Margo to ponder slowly, Ai Luo walked out of the crowd, spread his hands towards the mayor, and said with a smile: "Oh, you are the mayor of Xian Digge Gong? Hello, I am Airo Garcia, the president of the Mermaid Song Guild, is very happy to meet you."

After hearing that there was a guild in front of him, Xian's eyes became more alert.He took a close look at the people present, especially on the young man who was breathing heavily.At this time, the girl Milk who should marry him as his wife hurried to the boy's side to comfort him.

"Huh, the song of mermaid? Never heard of it! What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?!"

Airo knew that this guy was bluffing, but he didn’t want to cause trouble, so he continued with a smile and said, “No, no, how can we rebel? And our Mermaid Song and you have no grievances, not to mention we are too. A decent guild, not a mercenary, and we would not do things like killing people. It’s just..."

Ai Luo glanced at the pair of young men and women next to him. After thinking about it, he could only bite the bullet and continued with a smile and said: "It's just that we stayed here for one night, but I saw you want to take a The young man pinched to death. So I wanted to ask what happened? Is there any room for mediation?"

Xian stared at Ai Luo's face for a long time, as if after estimating the power gap between the two sides, he snorted, pointed at the boy and said, "This guy wanted to assassinate me last night, if it wasn't for me. If the reaction is fast enough, maybe he will succeed! He wants to kill me, isn't it very reasonable that I want to kill him now?"

The coffee is ready now. He gritted his teeth and faced the Earth Mage over there with a stubborn look, and shouted: "It's reasonable to go to you! You want to steal milk! You still tax us! You this! A vampire through and through...You just come out to perform magic every time of spring and autumn planting, and you will take 50% of our income!"

Fortunately, the cheese is not here now, but sleeping on it... Otherwise, Ai Luo is really worried that this young man will be caught by the Night Clan directly to suck blood.

"Humph! You lowly peasants who don't know good or bad, dare to make demands with me?!"

Xian seems to have spotted that these outsiders should not be too involved in his own affairs, so the arrogance has gradually become arrogant.He waved the staff in his hand and shouted loudly—

"If it weren't for me to help you prepare the farmland, where can you get so much grain to harvest? If it wasn't for me to help you sell the food a little bit, where can you make so much money?! Five percent? Even if ten is high? It seems that you really don’t know the cruelty of this world. In those places where the harvest is better, the tax revenue of the lord over 75% can be said to be everywhere! You only have 50% now. I'm very kind! How dare to be tough?!"

Although the scolding was very harsh, it could be seen that the mayor was still worried about so many people on Ai Luo's side, so he didn't dare to do anything directly.

For Airo, the current situation is very troublesome.

Regardless... Actually, I don't have any good reason to intervene.Anyway, this is also a matter of other towns. The mayor of other towns is willing to add so much tax, and the townspeople of their town have not responded much, and it is really hard for outsiders to say anything.

But if you don't care, it is estimated that as long as the song of the mermaid is gone, the boy's life will be immediately confessed here.

Ugh……

If I had to explain it, I would explain it. I don't recognize the form, and think that as long as I have a passion for it, and I can overturn all the injustices, it still won't work.Sometimes, some people really need to die.After all, from an economic point of view, even if the mayor is driven away, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Song of the Mermaid cannot be stationed here forever, let alone be enemies of all the lords of high tax places forever.
