Arcane Lord

In fact, this is not because the ruling class of Linton City has no vision, but is determined by the development of the social system and the backward productivity level. In the European Middle Ages, the rulers also Look down on these hooligans and villains who rely on petty theft to survive.

There is only one reason, that is, they are too poor. As the so-called people are poor and short, horses are thin and long, and a tissue that can’t even fill their stomachs, how much energy can they have?

You can’t afford weapons without money!

You can’t equip armor without money!

If you don’t have money, you can’t recruit enough people!

How can a group of civilians who are hungry and cold and hungry with sticks be seen by the ruling class?

In front of soldiers armed to their teeth, they are fragile like a chicken, let alone in this world, there are also feudal Knights, warriors, mages, etc., many unscientific, but tyrannical Incomparable professionals, to a certain extent, these gangs are indeed impossible to withstand a single blow, even without the nobles personally intervening, as long as a certain lieutenant in the city defense army goes crazy, the gangs in the backstreet will split up instantly. collapse.

If gang forces want to be on the table, the first thing is to have money. With money, they can hire and train their own professionals, and then they can penetrate step by step through buying and threatening. In the administrative system, when the ruling class began to become aware of it, they were surprised to find that those unremarkable gangs were already closely linked to the entire political system. If they wanted to get rid of them, they would inevitably pay a great price.

In this way, the nobles will transform from their original contempt and disgust into mutual cooperation, so as to reach the point where there is me in you and you in me.

You must know that the famous “mafia” on Earth relies on similar methods to infiltrate administration, justice, and all walks of life. In the end, they can even control the entire city, which is extremely beautiful. So the first prerequisite for the gang to develop is money!

There is a saying that money is Myriad Evil Origin. It is extremely powerful. It can make the most loyal men choose to betray, and it can make the most chaste women degenerate, even the gods of aloof and remote. Under the magic of money, they will also choose to compromise. Many merchants who donate large sums to the temple will receive a blessing and will not get sick within a few months to a year.

The duration depends on the amount of donation. It can be seen that the gods have to bow their heads in front of money. Although they themselves do not need these golden light baubles, they cannot withstand the needs of the church. what.

Cultivating priests, Paladins and Temple Knights, spreading beliefs, expanding the scope of influence, feeding the religious Knight regiments, building temples…

Which of these does not cost money?

Since the gods blocked the gods from entering Mortal World, the gods have become more and more dependent on their churches. Some places have even sold body protection symbols blessed by divine force, which can enhance the wearer. Six hundred years ago, similar behavior can be completely defined as blasphemy.

Of course, even if you want to buy these things now, you have to be believers, at least on the surface. As for whether the merchants’ faith is pious, then only the gods know.

While taking a walk and thinking about the future layout, Andre unconsciously came to No. 60 Bailu Street. Just when he was about to take out the key to open the door lock, he suddenly found two windows on the second floor. A small footprint, it looks like a child under ten years old.

Burglary, even robbery and murder, is not a big deal in the slums. Nearly more than half of the population of Linton City live here, and many of them are just fled from other places. As long as the hands and feet are clean, the guards and beggar will not waste energy to investigate.

After discovering the footprints, Andre’s first reaction was that there was a thief!

But this speculation was quickly overturned, because he has lived in this house for a while, and at first he has rectified a few hooligans. Everyone should know that here Being sheltered by a full member of the Mage Association, the thief is too late to escape, why would he take the initiative to find trouble?

Could it be the assassin sent by secret mastermind?

For the sake of caution, he blessed himself with Level 1 Arcane “Mage Armor” without the slightest hesitation, cautiously walked around the side kitchen window, cast the mage’s hand to pry the latch, and entered the house lightly , And at the same time order the small eyes of the demon pet to enter a state of alert, once a stranger is found, a freezing ray will be sent directly.

As soon as he walked through the kitchen and the hallway, Andre instantly smelled a faint bloody smell coming from the living room, accompanied by a slight moan, through the dim light, he could clearly see A skinny boy was lying on the sofa with a cut in his shoulder with a dagger or dagger. This little fellow gritted his teeth and blocked the wound with worn-out clothes. Due to the pain, his whole body was up and down. He was soaked in sweat, and his face looked pale because of excessive blood loss.

Undoubtedly, a little boy who is not even an adult will definitely not be an assassin, even more how he has been seriously injured, maybe he is being chased and killed, or he may be an assassin. When there is someone who shouldn’t be offended, in short, he is just taking refuge here and poses no threat at all.

Andre relaxes a little bit, allowing the familiar to remain vigilant, while he walks into the living room and walks to the boy blankly, and asks softly: “Who are you? Why are you? Appear here? What’s the matter with the shoulder injury? It’s better to explain before I get angry.”

The boy who was a little confused when he heard a sound, immediately alert eyes opened and took out The dagger hidden behind.

But when he saw who the person came, he threw away the dagger, and knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted excitedly: “Master! You are finally back! Go and rescue the boss. Come on! The scumbag of Gergil suddenly attacked our bar with a large number of people. Many people were killed, and the big sister was taken away by them. Please move a bit faster, they are a whole bunch of scum, no matter What disgusting things are done! If the boss is in their hands for a long time, the whole person will be finished!”

“Boss? You mean Widowmaker?” Andre frowned asked.

He still remembers that when he went to meet the gang leader last time, he had a little conflict with an idiot, who seemed to be Gergil’s men.

“Yes! Did you forget? I even gave you a bag of Silver Coin.” The boy replied excitedly while wiping his tears. He knew that as long as he could touch the seemingly harmless teenager in front of him, then his boss would be saved, and no matter whether he could regain the territory in the future, he would at least not be ruined by those messy things.
