Chapter 169 Magic leads to the expansion of productivity
Although the village chief is illiterate and has little education, the story he has heard most is the 'beautiful' love story between Zeus and Hera. However, this old man has lived for more than decades.
They are old and mature.
He instantly realized something and asked Shen Senguang anxiously, "You must have met my son."
"You must have seen it, otherwise you wouldn't suddenly express surprise, where is my son..."
"you……"
Shen Senguang wiped the sweat from his head. Now he seems to have broken the plot chain, but he can still try to see if he can bring this matter back.
Maybe there are other ways.
Now I have no choice but to divert the trouble away, so let me struggle to the death.
"Yes, yes I have met your son." Shen Senguang admitted 'calmly', but he was not stupid enough to say that he killed your son. Didn't this directly break the task chain?
Shen Senguang said: "But when I saw him, he was fighting a tree demon, and finally died at the hands of the hateful witch."
"What a glorious warrior."
In a sense, the dryads in the forest are also considered witches.
A tear appeared in the corner of the old village chief's eyes. "My poor child."
"Really...really?"
Attendant Cavendish came out. He scolded the old village chief and said angrily: "Watch your words. It is absolutely impossible for my Lord to deceive you. Who is he! I dare to swear to Zeus, if my Lord lies,
, I am willing to die under the thunder and fire of Zeus."
Shen Senguang took a look and felt ashamed. Fortunately, this game does not seem to have settings such as destiny, otherwise, little brother, you would be dead.
The old village chief thought carefully and finally chose to believe Shen Senguang and Cavendish.
Once he came, he saw that Cavendish's oath was very firm and did not seem like a lie;
Secondly, the old village chief did not expect that his son would attack Shen Senguang because he was guilty of being a thief when he was poaching and thought he was a witch when he saw a human being.
He really couldn't figure out why his son attacked Shen Senguang.
Seeing that the old village chief believed him, Shen Senguang breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he doesn't feel much guilt. After all, it was someone else who took the initiative to attack him, and besides, this is just a game world.
The old village chief immediately pushed away the other villagers, and then took Shen Senguang to the back of a thatched house. He whispered to Shen Senguang and Cavendish: "I originally had four sons, but
Now that both sons have died because of the witch's military service, my younger son hated the witch and started working as a hunter, specializing in stealing the witch's wealth. Unexpectedly, he also encountered the poisonous hands of the witch in the forest."
"I only have one second son left now."
"Oh, I should have thought of it a long time ago. In fact, I ignored my youngest son because of hatred. The forest is so dangerous. If I didn't meet the tree demon today, I will meet the ranger tomorrow."
"One day he will encounter danger. He can't always be so lucky."
Cavendish on the side heard this and thought of his brother, Lord Robert, the last orthodox royal bloodline in the Sunset Kingdom, and his face also showed a sense of sadness.
Cavendish glanced at Shen Senguang. "My brother also died because of the encounter with the ranger's gang, but my family avenged my brother and killed the ranger."
"So, you can completely trust us."
The old village chief opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Shen Senguang in surprise.
In this day and age, no one would have thought that someone could kill an official who was a witch, and no one would have thought that someone who was killing an official who was a witch could still escape unscathed.
The old village chief coughed violently, and he was very excited. "Sir, the meeting place is where the Royal Academy was originally in the old royal city."
Cavendish's face changed drastically. "That college has now been changed into a magic college."
"There are servants of witches inside, even witches who are learning magic."
"Old man, how dare you play tricks on us!"
The old village chief waved his hands repeatedly, "That's not the case. In fact, the person who organized this meeting was none other than a teacher from the magic academy. She hated witches because her human parents were killed by witches, even after being killed by witches.
The witch has accepted her for more than ten years, but she has always held a grudge."
"Your Majesty Zeus, what I said is the truth."
Shen Senguang put his hand on Cavendish's sword hilt and asked Cavendish to put the sword back into its scabbard.
Cavendish turned to look at Shen Senguang. "Sir, the old royal city is forty kilometers away from here. I will first find herbs for you in the village to treat your injuries."
"Then, let's borrow a horse from the village and we can go to the Old Royal City together. What do you think?"
Shen Senguang frowned. "Yes, yes. But there are horses in the village. I thought even cows would be looted by the witch's servants."
The old village chief shook his head and explained: "Sir, you don't understand this."
"Witches have never cared about our taxes. Those who care about our taxes are their human servants. However, because of the magical night curse, not only do we not be able to travel at night, but they also force everyone to abide by the curfew."
"But it allows animals and plants to grow rapidly at night, so the food output of our Sunset Kingdom is about ten to twenty times the original. Even if four-fifths of the farmland is forcibly converted back to forests, the remaining land crops
The production volume also far exceeds the food needed by our current population."
"So, there can even be cows and horses in every village to help us with farming."
The old village chief sighed: "Actually, our life now is much more relaxed than before."
Cavendish's face was extremely ugly, "They just treat us like livestock. Don't forget that they will use military service, natural disasters and death curses to kill a few ordinary humans at any time, just to satisfy their leisure time entertainment."
The old village chief glanced at Cavendish and said, "Well, I will never forget the death of my three sons."
Shen Senguang watched the conversation between the two of them and suddenly realized a problem.
Although witches do not regard humans as human beings and treat them like livestock, due to the expansion of productivity brought about by magic, humans actually live quite well.
According to the current era of broken medical system and turbulent war, can the three sons of the old village chief really die well even if they are in the era of aristocracy and royal power?
However, it seems that now that everyone has eaten enough, they are beginning to have time to worry about other things, and they actually talk about dignity, something they have never had before.
Shen Senguang suddenly asked Cavendish. "Boy, before the witch ruled the Sunset Kingdom, what was the approximate population of your kingdom?"
Cavendish didn't understand why Shen Senguang asked this suddenly. He hesitated and said: "Sir, I heard from my brother that it is probably... there is about 500,000 to 600,000 people..."
"But many people have actually avoided census and land surveying several times in order to evade taxes. The real data should be one to two times more than this."
Shen Senguang opened his eyes wide, raised his nose, and showed a funny look.
Oh my God, the last time I died under the death spell of the Scarlet Witch, I clearly heard the message that five humans would randomly die out of a population of six million.
In other words, even now, witches do not regard people as human beings. They and their servants kill humans at will. However, due to the expansion of productivity brought about by magic and the doubling of food output, the human race has increased three or four times.
.
Then why do I feel that the previous era of nobility and royal power is not as good as this era of magic?
Shen Senguang suddenly realized that when he entered this game, the introduction of the game actually let him rule humans and witches together.
Establish a new rule.
In other words, I cannot blindly favor humans.
To establish a new rule, you need to see the advantages and disadvantages of both sides at the same time, so that you can build an era of law that is better than the age of magic and the age of kingship!
