The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 394

[Chapter 46 Magical Society]

In addition, they were accompanied by three sociologists, economists and military experts.

In the small town, although their clothes were as shabby and rough as those worn by ordinary civilians, their relatively delicate skin, tall and strong figures, and confident eyes distinguished them from the residents of the small town.

The economist Frant rubbed his eyes. Because he is short-sighted, it was rare for him to wear contact lenses during this inspection, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He and Liu Feng on the side said: “According to our observations during this period, they are still stuck 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 The 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, and that is magicians. Compared to ours, The society here has developed earlier and stronger because of magic, and its dependence on magic is much stronger. Agriculture, construction, military and other aspects all need to rely on the power of magicians. And because magic can solve everything

, There is no one to develop science.”

Liu Feng nodded: “So civilians without magic 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, there are no magicians. You can definitely survive on your own.”

Several people around him nodded. Through their observations over the past few days, they already knew that the world in front of them was somewhat similar to the Middle Ages and was a severely deformed society.

Food plants are magically transformed. All are planted neatly and uniformly on land that has been planned and modified in advance. The only thing farmers have to do is sow and harvest.

All the buildings in the town were jointly built by lower-level mages, and almost all of them were boxy and of the same style, just like the brown linen clothes worn by civilians. For mages, civilians are just consumables. Used to reduce some magic consumption.

All daily necessities and food are basically distributed equally by the mages. Raise those civilians like pigs.

Those without magical talents are civilians, while those with magical talents are naturally superior to others.

Mages can naturally do whatever civilians can do. Mages can do what civilians cannot do even more.

On the continent of Mondo, mages are the first-class people. If other civilians want to stand out, they can only become warriors or have some special talents. For example, soldiers, officials, chefs, etc., these are considered second-class people.

Those who have not mastered skills useful to mages are civilians, the third class of people. They must unconditionally obey the master’s arrangements and work for more than ten months a year. Only then can they be allocated enough supplies to ensure their survival.

As for the lowest fourth class of people, they are prisoners of various defeated countries, criminals, aliens, etc. They were considered slaves. It is almost equivalent to a beast-like existence. They can be bought, sold and killed at will.

Faced with such a life, civilians who only possess medieval weapons are unable to resist. As long as a most ordinary high-ranking mage turns on the protective force field, even if he stands there and allows civilians to attack, he will not be harmed at all.

The so-called change of dynasty is nothing more than replacing a group of mages and officials to rule.

Liu Feng and others looked at the civilians on the street and could only see numbness and emptiness in their eyes. In addition to eating and sleeping every day, they live a life day after day, year after year.

There is no internet, no toilet, no light, and no TV.

Most of them will probably never leave their villages or towns throughout their lives.

Almost none of them are literate, and they never have any innovative ideas, because almost all the innovations they can think of currently can be done by magic, and they can do it better.

And after thousands of years of rule, all civilians have been tamed like sheep.

Liu Feng tried to change his face, talk to some civilians, and discuss some scientific, political, and financial issues with them. For example, the earth may be round, so why do mages naturally rule the common people, or borrow some money to do business, etc.

But the civilians he talked to might be surprised at Liu Feng’s remarks at first, but after being curious, they would run out of interest and leave after a few words, returning to their daily lives again. It’s as if there is a huge invisible inertia behind them.

Some even report to local officials to report ‘Liu Feng’s’ reactionary remarks.

Because the mage not only rules them, but is also their universal nanny.

If you are sick, just pray to the mage and you will be cured.

If there is an earthquake, just pray to the mage and it will be fine.

If the crops are not growing, just pray to the mage.

There may be a small number of people in history who have awakened and want to break the current situation, but they will soon be overwhelmed by the similar people around them, and finally disappear from everyone and return to their original numb life.

“Huh~” Jin Guang breathed out and looked at the buildings made of earth around him. These are all houses made of mud. According to mechanical principles, they should not last long, but because of magic, they exist here.

Jin Guang’s brows furrowed: “What a hellish world.” He thought that if he was allowed to live in such a world, he would rather die.

Compared with a life of poverty, hardship, numbness, and ignorance, the state of not even knowing your own ignorance and numbness and feeling satisfied is even more terrifying.

Liu Feng looked at a shop in front and said: “There is a restaurant in front. Let’s go there to take a rest and collect some information.”

Fulant on the side said: “It seems that other information is not needed, mainly the army and The mage’s information, I’m afraid this kind of information is not easy to get.”

Watson, the military expert on the other side who has rarely spoken, also said: “And from the information we have now, it seems that the troops here are either mage troops or have no combat effectiveness. By mastering the zero-point vacuum energy, they will be able to advance early.” After thousands of years, they have endless energy, but lack the corresponding ideological and spiritual level to cooperate, creating this abnormal social structure.” “Anyway, let’s try it and talk about it.” After

Liu Feng finished speaking, he walked in shop.

In the monetary system of Mondo Continent, civilians still use ancient metal currencies. Considering the technological level of the earth, this simple metal currency is naturally very easy to be counterfeited.

Before coming here, the alliance had copied a bunch of them for Liu Feng and the others to use based on Jonah’s memory.

But even if they have a lot of money, in this backward ancient society, they don’t have much to spend it on.

Looking at the wheat cakes and black bread placed on the table, Jin Guang, Liu Feng and others all showed helpless expressions.

Lack of support from modern industry, coupled with the already low living standards of civilians.

The food here is downright shabby. Of course, this may also be because the town where Liu Feng and the others are now is not prosperous.

Anyway, without the support of various additives and seasonings, the bread and wheat cakes in front of them are really too hard to swallow for Jin Guang and others.

Tony frowned as he felt something as rough as a tree trunk rubbing his throat and being slowly swallowed.

Sociologist Forland stood up: “I’m going to the toilet.” Seeing Liu Feng nodded, he walked out 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 eat dry food for lunch. Compared with the food in front of them, the compressed dry food provided by the military has become a delicacy.

However, just to blend into the social system of Mondo Continent, Liu Feng and the others did not bring much dry food. Fulante is also eating a little less now.

Finding a random corner, Fulante controlled the nano-armor and took out the dry food placed in the storage belt.

But just when he wanted to eat dry food, a black shadow appeared behind Fulant.
