Chapter 372 grotesque
As soon as you hear it, you can tell that the reverse world is of a very strict hierarchy.
A mere 100,000 demons are divided into three levels, among which the royal family where the Demon Emperor is located is the first class, the official members of the noble family are the second class, and most of the demons are the most ordinary third-class demons.
But even the third-class demon race is higher than all other human races.
Among the huge population, there are many obedient people who support the rule of the demons. These people are called "citizens" by the demons. According to different social status, wealth and employment situations, citizens are divided into three levels.
Among the first-class citizens, most of them are the best among the human race, or the big families serving the demon race, or the awakened ones who protect the rule of the demon race. It can be said that among the thousands of awakened ones in the reverse world, most of them are this type of people.
The remaining second-class citizens and third-class citizens are relatively poor social ranks, similar to the small citizens, small merchants, self-cultivators, and small handicraftsmen in ancient times, and they all have a variety of different groups. They have millions of people, and their lives are not bad, and they do not pursue resistance, but they do not live well. They often complain about it, but they dare not do anything big.
It can be said that the level of "citizens" is similar to the middle class in the current realm, and they are the basis of the rule of the demons.
The reason why they are called citizens is because they still have some social rights. The most typical point is the right to vote. In the three big cities and twenty-seven small towns outside the Magic Capital, the lords have elections every five years, but only the demons and citizens have the right to vote, and the demons have the right to vote for one hundred votes, and children can vote by their parents.
Qin Yao was a little confused: "Shameless! Is it so unfair to vote for one hundred votes?"
Yoshihono sneered: "Then in your realm, the demons don't even have the right to survive, so how can we talk about the number of votes?"
Qin Yao was silent.
This is true. After all, the reverse world still allows human races to survive, just to exploit their rights; on the contrary, the correct world has the idea that if you see the demon race killing, don’t mention any votes.
Therefore, the living environment of the human race in the reverse realm is actually stronger than that of the demon race in the righteous realm.
As for the one vote, a hundred votes are not only a reflection of the status of the demon clan, but also a basic need to maintain its own rule. You should know that the number of them is only 100,000.
A vote of one is worth a hundred votes, and the total number of votes is equivalent to 10 million votes; while a citizen has five million votes, that is five million votes. Only by maintaining such absolute suppression can the stability of the demon rule be ensured, and there is nothing wrong with this.
However, giving your citizens a vote of 5 million will at least give you the qualification to participate in the vote. In some local areas, such as the city lord elections in a small town, if some city lords do too much, when the opinions of the demons are generally equal, the human citizens will also have the possibility of ousting them. With this, the city lords will not be too unscrupulous.
So from a certain perspective, this society still has some fair genes, and at least these citizens can participate in the election. Although many elections are formalities, sometimes even if you only have an equal election for one candidate, you are qualified for the election.
But the power of citizens is limited to "choose", but there is no right to "be selected". Only those who are born in the demon clan can be elected as city lords.
The highest level of citizenship is nothing more than a position like "City Lord Assistant". Even if he can be promoted to a city lord assistant, even the city lord assistant of 27 small towns, he is basically three meters tall in the ancestral tomb.
In addition to the 100,000 demons and five million citizens, there are even more "untouchables" with a larger number, reaching tens of millions of people!
When they hear this name, they know their status. They have almost nothing but hands. Only year after year can they get a barely enough food and clothing, and no one cares about it even if they are frozen to death and starved to death.
Even the reason why their number is called "ten millions" without a specific number is because the official demons cannot count the specific number at all. These people basically live in small towns, but some live in more remote wildernesses, so there is no way to count the specific number at all. They only know that there is more than 30 million, but it is definitely not more than 50 million.
It is such a huge group that accounts for 90% of the total population of the reverse world, but has no rights or any means of production. Even the land they cultivate is the official or private property of the demons. These untouchables have only poor right to cultivate and hand over a large amount of income from the land.
Some people have to work as labor, such as mining, cleaning, transportation, etc. In short, they are all work that demons cannot do, and citizens are reluctant to do if they think they are dirty or tired.
Therefore, there are also many people with the spirit of resistance among the untouchables. Some untouchables rebel from time to time, while others simply withdraw from the city and gather in the mountains and forests to become bandits. Of course, there is only one ending for the rebels, that is, the people are rolling.
"In fact, the reason why citizens can stand out from the untouchables is because of their blood." Yoshihoshino said, "Any citizen has ever seen awakened people in their family. That is to say, they have the possibility of awakening."
It's really realistic, a snobbish society.
Qin Yao: "There are five million citizens, but the number of awakened people is only a few thousand years old, which means that there are always blood decays in the entire family, which means that there is a situation where awakened people cannot appear for a long time."
"This is the problem, so there is another regulation in our reverse world." Yoshihoshino said, "If a family has no awakened people in the upward and direct lineage of nine generations, it means that the bloodline of this family is basically abandoned, and it will be difficult for awakened people to appear again in the future. For this reason, when they are in the tenth generation, their citizenship will be cancelled and they will become untouchables."
This is a rolling mechanism, but it's pretty cruel.
There are many people who are rolling down, but because the families of awakened people often occupy a large number of social resources, their population will expand rapidly. The rate of expansion of these citizens' families basically offset the number of people who have become untouchables after ten generations, so the number of five million citizens has basically remained constant for a long time.
There are also extremely special situations, such as a citizen who has not awakened for ten generations in his family, but he has just become a pariah, and the next generation has awakened again. In this case, you can also apply to restore the "citizenship" at any time.
It is precisely because of this that there are almost no escapers in the reverse world who meet the bloodline but do not awaken. After all, "awakening" is their shortcut to reaching the sky in one step, similar to the ancient high school emperor list, so even the untouchables will pay great attention to this extremely weak hope, let alone citizens.
This fully proves that at best, there are only a few thousand demons in the realm.
Yuwen Shuxue: "So, what is the overall force of your reverse world?"
If you can't transport guns or even nuclear bombs, you can't take advantage of your personal force if you want to guard against them or even attack them in the future, so Yuwen Shuxue is very concerned.
Yoshihono: "If you only practice magic power, you can basically crush your realm. Of course, your technology is too terrifying, and we dare not imagine it. We can only say that each has its own expertise. The wonderful existence of wormholes is sure that no one can occupy the other."
The wormhole is only opened once a month, so that no matter how many masters there are in the reverse world, the number of people who can travel through it is limited. Even if the super masters led by the Demon Emperor come, it is impossible to compete with the terrifying modern technology and super hot weapons in the realm.
Similarly, the powerful technological civilization in the realm cannot act in the reverse world, so they can only send masters of the surviving clans, but their overall strength is much worse than others.
Qin Yao: "Isn't your maximum limit also limited to the Tianguan?"
Yoshihono: "Yes, there are indeed no powerful people like you call the "blood sect". However, there are much more powerful people who have reached the rank of honor than you. After all, it is a world that advocates force and practices the whole nation. The chances of masters appearing are much higher. One hundred thousand demons, this huge base determines that many angry and arrogant masters will appear. As for the true-class demons, there are more than ten times more than your true-class survivors."
Qin Yao: “…”
"However," Yoshihono smiled, "If a super strong man like you get there, of course he will still be the top existence. After all, he has reached the terrible level of respect. In a world where you speak with strength, you are very fierce everywhere."
Qin Yao's vanity was only slightly satisfied.
Yuwen Shuxue: "How many powerful people in your opposite world are you?"
"It's a few dozen, but it's not ruled out that there are hidden ones."
So Qin Yao's pride just now disappeared again. He was so sad. Is there so many of them at the same level as him?
Qin Yao: "It seems that I can't walk sideways when I reach your reverse world."
Yoshihono smiled charmingly: "Even if you don't have these dozens of great demons, do you think you can walk sideways?"
Qin Yao: "What does it mean?"
Yoshihono: "I didn't say that the strongest combat power in the reverse world is these powerful people."
Qin Yao and Yuwen Shuxue were confused again.
Yoshihoshino throws out another super amazing news—
"Just like there are wise beasts in your realm, and there are also monsters in our reverse realm. Moreover, your wise beasts are too weak. Our monsters are super ferocious, and there are quite a few monsters that can kill the Great Lord."
"Even, there are powerful dragon clans in our place. Do you know that an adult dragon is enough to easily kill a top-level master, and it is completely effortless. If you don't reach the realm of the Blood Sect, facing such a giant, you will seek death. How can you walk sideways?"
Qin Yao was shocked: "There are actually living dragons? Is it the ugly big lizard with big belly and wings in Western mythology?"
Yoshihono: "Fixed thinking is terrible. Do you think that Western dragon is very weak? Is that good enough to easily kill the Great Lord? Of course, the Eastern true dragon also exists, which is even more terrifying. It is a taboo holy spirit, and even His Majesty the Demon Emperor must respect it..."
It's such a weird world.
However, it also aroused Qin Yao's more intense interest: "Can the dragon be caught as a pet?"
