Night Raven Master

Chapter 32 Ancient Legends
It seems that due to lack of sleep, the four of them are very quiet, and Yate has not recovered from the mental exhaustion. When sitting in the carriage, he has been meditating with his eyes closed to restore his mental strength.

Lina, who was lively, seemed calm and reticent at this time.

The Frolls didn't intend to speak either. Baruto on the side tried to speak several times but was ignored. He could only look at the scenery outside helplessly.

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

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

Especially the legend of ten thousand years ago.

"It is said that in ancient times, it was not wizards who ruled the various dynasties, and the nobles were not blue-blooded, but just a group of ordinary people. In that era, wizards were just an extraordinary profession among many professionals, and their strength was also high. Not too powerful." Baruto waved his arms, vividly telling the historical legend he had heard in the northernmost port city of the Kingdom of Allen.

Arthur couldn't help but opened his eyes and looked at him.

"How is it possible?" Lina snorted first, "Nobles are ordinary people? Then how could they become lords? How could those extraordinary people be willing to obediently pay taxes? Why didn't they overthrow him?"

Aristocrats - powerful, powerful humans, blue-blooded, spellcasters.

Such a concept is already deeply rooted in everyone's mind, and no one would believe that ordinary people without power can stand on the heads of powerful spellcasters and other professionals.

You know, even the clergy who are as famous as the Holy See and represent "holy" and "justice" in people's hearts have never said that nobles are evil, and holy magic will not harm wizards and nobles. They cause harm.

This direct question made Baruto's face turn red. Usually, every time this matter is mentioned in the tavern, which one of the others is not the first to marvel?

How can you doubt it when you come up?

However, he himself has thought about this issue, and based on his knowledge, he made the following inferences:
"The royal family and nobles recruit extraordinary people. These loyal extraordinary people can suppress other professionals."

Lina curled her lips: "Solicitation? Why would a superhuman be recruited by ordinary people?"

Art was listening by the side, but he had no doubts in his heart.

Although Baruto has a lot of knowledge and has done some thinking, he didn't take these too seriously, nor did he think too deeply, and he didn't think of another model that could replace the current ruling model .

Baruto, who hesitated and couldn't speak, was naturally despised by others.

As ordinary people, the Frolls even labeled Baruto as a "liar", "bragging", and "spreading rumors".

This kind of gaze made Baruto more anxious, his face was burning red.

At this time, Yate suddenly said: "The ruler is not a blue-blooded person, but also an extraordinary person. Those ordinary people are the descendants of the relatives of the extraordinary."

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

Baias, Truno and the others suddenly nodded, and there was indeed not much difference.

Noticing the expressions of the people around him, Yate pouted in his heart, it was much worse.

The current wizarding dynasties are actually ruled by the model of power and power.

He can probably guess the existence form of this so-called "ancient" dynasty and nobles——

It is nothing more than the rule of power and power.

There are powerful professionals in the aristocratic class itself, and with this as the core, other professionals are recruited. Without Baruto saying, he can know that the form of aristocratic rule at that time was just like this.

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

With "strength" as the core, blood, relationship, and interests as the link, the natural law of whoever is strong will be the king, and the subordinates and relatives of the most powerful are the ruling class, and the chains are scattered to form a ruling grid.

Blood relationship and relationship are secondary. The core is that extraordinary people recruit extraordinary people, using interests as the ultimate bond. Under the circumstances that maintaining this ruling class can allow themselves to gain more benefits, in order to protect their own interests, extraordinary people will of course to protect its existence.

In today's ruling mode, "blue-blooded people" are 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 conspicuous point is, will other extraordinary people be willing to be ruled by wizard nobles?

Not to mention anything else, the second force other than the nobles - the Holy See is a powerful threat.

However, this pattern has lasted for nearly ten thousand years, so there must be some deep reason that can delay or even resolve the conflict.

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 pens of the extraordinary, allowing ordinary people to rule as spokespersons, It doesn't matter even if you die, 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 all is - interest.

There are only individuals who betray the class, there are no strata who betray the class.

A slave in the lowest class, after climbing to the top, will of course maintain the class he lives in now. He will at most show goodwill towards the original class. However, if these goodwill go against the interests of the class, they will be punished. All obstacles.

Not to mention others, after the slave becomes a merchant, he will give priority to safeguarding the interests of the merchant class, and when the slave becomes a nobleman, he will prioritize protecting the interests of the noble class.

Even if he succeeds in breaking the class and affecting the society, but if there is a top, there will be a bottom. Absolute fairness does not exist, and class is impossible to disappear. The idea of ​​​​a great harmony in the world can only be utopian.

The current form of existence of the aristocratic class is that each aristocrat has its own strength. It is not only the ruler of a region, but also the guardian of a region. Not just wizards.

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

Originally born in a different world where information exploded and education became universal, Yate's knowledge is much wider than theirs. Although he doesn't know much, because he likes to study the background of various games, he can still say something. .

Such titles as "Keyboard Historian", "Keyboard Political Scientist", "Keyboard Folklorist", and "Keyboard Economist" are worthy of titles.

Just because Yate can think of it doesn't mean that other people can think of it.

"This..." Baruto didn't think about the depth of the puppet model. However, although Yate denied the statement that "ordinary people are the nobles of the dynasty", he also relieved him. chose not to speak.

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

"Baruto, is there any other interesting rumor?"

Arter categorized his claim as an "interesting anecdote," and others also took notice.

"Yes." After secretly deciding not to believe these "ridiculous legends" in his heart, Baruto began to tell the rumors from other regions with a smile on his face.

Although he likes to brag, his conversation is still humorous and funny enough. With the mentality of "listening to it as a story", Lena and others did not correct and refute, just occasionally complaining.

Yate squinted his eyes, carefully discerning the various rumors that Baruto said.

Yate, who is also considered a transcendent, of course would not believe it credulously, but he did not easily veto it either.

Maybe I will meet him in the future, if so, maybe it will come in handy.

Rumors can harm people, but in the eyes of smart people, rumors have different messages, and even the spread of rumors is an important piece of information—who spread it, where it spread, and why did it spread it?

As they spoke, the sky was completely lit up. After Truno, Baias and the others beheaded a few wild beasts, they also completely left the forest and came to the main road.

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

This is a large caravan, it looks like a caravan, and there are several small caravans and several medium-sized caravans in it - the various signs told Arter this.

Without saying anything, Truno and Baias decided to move closer.

After getting closer, Art realized that they were coming from another direction, which should be the Earl of Ludi or the Earl of Serra.

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

In addition to the caravan, there are also many professionals who participated in the employment of the caravan as mercenaries and protected the caravan along the way.

When they saw Yate and the others, these mercenaries immediately clenched their weapons and became vigilant.

"I'm Glora's mercenary team!" Truno shouted loudly, stepped forward, and held up a badge that was similar to the badge on his chest, but different, in the palm of his hand.

A few people walked out of that 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 the others:

"You can come here!"
