I'm really a crispy French
Chapter 12
"Learn a craft, no matter what kind of craft it is, even if it's just rubbing hemp rope? You can always make a living on your own. Don't be an adventurer, don't do it, adventurers are not a good job, just In Shanpo Village, there are countless people who go out every day and never come back, this place is just a green space for low-level adventurers to explore."
Mason spoke very slowly, this was not his normal speaking state, because he had been watching Leon's expression, afraid of scaring Leon, or Leon would not be able to understand.
But... until the end, all he saw on Leon's face was the NO expression.
This man is really kind and pragmatic: "Thank you, Mr. Mason. I will always remember your suggestions and advice firmly. Then, can I ask you something more?"
"Ask, boy."
"Where are we? Where is Shanpo Village? Which country? How is our country?"
"Our country is called the Muller Freedom Federation. There are 300 big cities and a population of nearly [-] million. You were born in a big and prosperous country, my child."
Subconscious mind: OK, it is comparable to a second-tier city after a disaster.
Leon: After the disaster?
Well, as always, the subconscious mind stretches its head out quickly, and shrinks its head even faster.
"Mr. Mason, can you tell us about the cities around us? And race."
"The nearest city to us is Diller City, which is the third largest city in the Muller Federation, but it will take at least one and a half months to go there by horse-drawn carriage, even if the journey goes smoothly."
"A month and a half?"
"Soon?"
"...um." What could he say?I can only nod.
"Our Muller Federation has developed businesses. It is a multi-ethnic country that believes in coexistence and prohibits slavery. Look at me, who do you think I am?"
"Uh...pure human?"
"No, I have a quarter of wolf orc blood, and a quarter of half-demon blood. My father is a half-demon, and my mother is a half-blood wolf orc." Mason brushed his hair proudly Get up, let Leon look at his ears, his ears are a little pointy, and there are a little black soft hair on the back of the ear, "Unfortunately, I only have a little bit of wolf orc blood, and I haven't inherited many half-demons. blood. In some parts of here, half-devils are very popular with girls."
Leon nodded, tried to widen his eyes, and made an expression of "so amazing" and "very envious".
"Because we are a federal system, we don't have nobles who are enshrined, but we also have superiors, citizens, inferiors, and pariahs in our country. Untouchables refer to people who have nothing, and inferiors refer to those who have no real estate but have certain personal property Citizens are those who have their own real estate in cities or villages and have bank deposits of more than ten gold coins, and the upper class are of course big merchants or landowners who pay taxes of more than fifty gold coins every year.”
"Can such strict scrutiny be achieved?"
"The upper class and citizens can do it, because to be a citizen, you must bring a property certificate to register. The higher the level, the more taxes you have to pay, but the more benefits you can get. Especially wars, encounters When a disaster occurs, the state treatment they will enjoy is different, and the untouchables will not enjoy the protection and welfare of the state at all. But among the neighboring countries, our country has already done the best. Leon, no matter where you are Try to live as hard as you can, and try to be a citizen."
"Well, I will." Leon nodded, but Mason knew from his expression that what he said was just to give Leon a direction to work hard. In fact, he didn't expect Leon, as an orphan with nothing, to really struggle until At that point, "What about the adventurers? I heard about the awakened ones?"
"Adventurers need to rely on their contribution points. Awakened people are a special group of people. As long as you become an awakened person, no matter which town you are in, you can unconditionally obtain the status of a citizen, but..."
"Becoming an awakened person is difficult, I know, I won't be delusional, Mr. Mason." Mr. Mason didn't want him to be an adventurer, so he simply passed by, and obviously he didn't want his unrealistic pursuit of becoming an adventurer. Awakened, "So, the orphans in the orphanage... what are they? Inferior people?"
Mason opened his mouth and nodded sullenly: "Yes."
Therefore, it is really difficult for an orphan to become a legitimate citizen. He made Leon's pursuit meaningless before.Mason is not as mature as he seems, and there is still impulsiveness in speaking and doing things.
"What do you mean by an awakened person? Isn't it a mage, a warrior, a priest or something?" Leon didn't mean to embarrass the receptionist, and he asked the next question directly.
Mason was indeed relieved.
"If you want to classify, in essence, there are only two types of awakened people, mages and warriors. It's just that different inheritances, different religious systems, and different power attributes of awakening, so they have different names. In fact, priests, priests, priests, Shamans, etc., are all wizards. Warriors such as Templars and Storm Knights are also fighters."
"Mr. Mason, can you tell me about the good treatment for the awakened ones? I'm just dreaming, and I won't pursue it."
"To become an awakened person, except for a very small number of born awakened persons, most awakened persons need a magic seed or vindictive seed. And this seed needs to be condensed by an awakened person of at least the third level. An awakened person A person who has awakened a maximum of twenty seeds in his lifetime will need to consume a lot of energy and physical strength. A person who has awakened some special abilities will even consume his own vitality. If it is not from the elders in the family, the price of each seed is It's extremely expensive."
Mason first talked about the origin of the awakened. When he spoke, his tone was very heavy. After he finished speaking, his face turned red and he coughed. Mason continued: "First-order adventurers at the seed stage can only obtain citizenship, and enter the second-order There are special benefits, such as ten silver coins every month."
"Ten silver coins?"
"Don't think this is a lot of money." Mason rubbed Leon's hair, "Perhaps it is a lot for ordinary people, ten silver coins are enough for a person to live comfortably for a year, but for the awakened ones, Ten silver coins are too few. Awakened people need a lot of special food to absorb nutrients. They also need alchemy medicine to temper their bodies. A piece of meat for breakfast may be worth a few gold coins."
"Oh..." Leon didn't think the money was too much, but it was too little.
The currency of the Muller Federation, fifty copper coins for one silver coin, and twenty silver coins for one gold coin.Leon in other countries does not know, but because it is a physical currency, as long as the currency is about the same size, the value should be about the same.
For the adventurers in Shanpo Village, if they hunted a mouse tail, they would get ten copper coins, and for a goblin's head, they would get thirty copper coins.Special mice or goblins are more valuable if they are brought back to the corresponding parts.
Big John’s blacksmith shop only needs silver coins for repairing equipment. If you buy equipment, the most broken wooden shield costs two silver coins, and the best iron ax already needs gold coins to calculate the price.Big John was just a blacksmith with poor skills in a small dilapidated village.
It can be known from the equipment that the awakened ones come in quickly and spend money fiercely.
"What is the attribute of power? Is the power of evil, or the power of justice also an attribute of power?" Leon tried his best to ask the question in a child's innocent tone.
"No, no, no, there is no power of justice or evil, only righteous or evil people." Mason said, but he added some explanations, "Of course, this is the teaching of my belief. I am a believer in the God of Nature. There are also The beliefs of some gods do not say so. However, the Morisel family is all grudges of the dark attribute, but they are the famous Sun Knight family. The fallen Ravina is a pure light force, but he is in the company of hell .”
It is a name that Leon has never heard of, but it should be a celebrity in this world, the level of a legendary figure.
"In this world, the power attributes of people's awakening are all kinds of strange things, not all of them are like mages and warriors chanted by bards. Do you know? I have a friend. After he activated the magic seed at the first level, the power's The way of expression turned out to be fart. Smelly, strong, you know..."
Mason stuck out his tongue at Leon and made a face, and Leon also gave him a grimace back.
"Oh~ my God~" Mason exaggerated the pain on his face, "What's worse, he was not able to control himself until the second level, and stopped farting anytime and anywhere. At the third level, the attributes awakened, knowing His power attribute is poison. Now he is an excellent pharmacist. Don’t have an unbelievable expression on his face. The deadly poison is still a life-saving drug, and he can switch at will. Just like snake venom, in many In the hands of the pharmacist, it has become an excellent painkiller."
"Sorry, did I go too deep? You just need to know that things that look bad on the surface are good if they are applied properly. Like knives, bad people use them to hurt good people, but good people use them to protect themselves , hunting wild animals, or just eating." Mason put his big hand on Leon's head, "Your two horns are very cute, you are a good obedient boy, God will protect you."
Mason obviously misunderstood, but Leon was not going to remind him.
Leon's biggest gain from this conversation is the idea of whether power is just or not—since the power in this world is all kinds of strange, then maybe he doesn't need to hide his ability.However, in this world, he must be classified as the kind of rare natural awakener that Mason said, right?
Will those who are born awakened be treated differently?This is also a problem.
After all, Mason is just a guy sent to a small country place as a receptionist. He himself is either a low-level employee with low ability, or a power struggle loser who is excluded.Either way, his words can only be used as a preliminary reference.
Mason spoke very slowly, this was not his normal speaking state, because he had been watching Leon's expression, afraid of scaring Leon, or Leon would not be able to understand.
But... until the end, all he saw on Leon's face was the NO expression.
