Chapter 7: Final answer

Pulman’s home is in Brownwood Village. The village is close to the forest of

the Tiziran Mountains. It is very remote, and it is estimated that there is no

record on the map of the kingdom.

The only specialty in the village is gooseberries originating from the forest.

The bright red grape-like gooseberries are rare berries with a sour taste.

Some nobles love to eat this, so every year merchants come to the village to

buy it. This is also the first in the village. The biggest income of the year.

It happened this year when merchants came to buy.

The most important thing about fruit is freshness. Lord Mok will come to

Brownwood Village one or two weeks in advance at this time of the year, and

sell the gooseberries produced in the village this year in several batches to

nearby cities. This kind of fruit sells well. In order to show their status,

the wealthy people in the city often purchase some hospitality to show their

superiority and wealth.

Moreover, it is not expensive to purchase. Give these silly villagers a basket

of silver coins and they are very happy. After he was transported to the city

and washed, he could sell a basket of 60 silver coins on a white plate, which

was a huge profit.

The high-end shops in the noble district of the city, these dusty hillbillies

will never have the opportunity to go in, and naturally they will not know

what prices these fruits will sell. Master Mok has been doing this business

for many years.

Halfway through, I happened to meet Pullman's sister Ashley.

Ashley is 14 years old this year. She just came back from a shower by the

river, her youthful and beautiful face immediately attracted Master Mok’s

attention.

Pulman's younger sister was taken by the merchant Mr. Mok, and he told his

parents that he could take her sister to the city to be a maid for the

nobleman.

Being a servant for a nobleman can live a much happier life than ordinary

villagers. It is stable and will not starve to death. In this dangerous world,

it is a profession that many civilians yearn for.

So Pullman's parents happily agreed, so Mok also gave Pullman's parents a sum

of money, and Pullman was also very happy.

After all, my sister has a good job, and he vaguely feels that if he has the

money, he can discuss his marriage with Joanna.

But what he didn't expect was that he hadn't seen his sister since then, who

was a little thin but obedient.

After my sister left, two months later, he went into Trin City to find out the

address of the nobleman's house. He wanted to see his sister, but was stopped

by guards.

He was just a commoner boy, so naturally he couldn't enter the courtyard of

the nobleman, so he guarded the opposite side and asked the servants who came

in and out of his sister.

But the strange thing is that no one knew his sister. In the end, he felt

something wrong. One day, he sneaked in in the dark. Because he was unfamiliar

with the terrain, he was quickly caught by the guards.

In the Westwind Kingdom, the lives of civilians are not worth much. Moreover,

he still broke into the mansion privately, and was soon tortured. Fortunately,

he was indeed a teenager from a nearby village. Many people recognized him and

gave him a severe warning. After the episode, it was finally released.

But he still didn't give up. Kneeling on his bruised knees, he kept begging

the guards to let him see his sister.

Finally, a young guard really couldn't stand it anymore. When he left, he

quietly said something in his ear, you can go to the barren mountain in the

south of the city to find it.

When he staggered to the barren mountain, what appeared in front of him was a

small mound of exposed bones.

This is a mass grave.

A bad expectation appeared in his mind, he rummaged around, and finally found

only a corpse with a similar concrete shape.

But it is still recognizable from the torn clothes, this is his sister.

That's right, the noble master wanted a maid, but it was not the kind of maid

that everyone imagined, but a plaything that could be thrown away at any time.

The young man was shaking his hands, unable to accept the fact that he just

sat beside the corpse for a whole day and night, and finally cried to dig

through the soil and buried the thin body in the soil.

At this point, the boy's voice was a little choked and regret filled his

heart. It would be good if he persuaded his parents at that time, and if he

hadn't indulged in fantasies about Joanna.

Why, why is it so, their family just wants to make their lives better! Isn't

such a small wish not allowed?

"Do you want revenge?"

The clear voice of the silver-haired girl came from across the fire.

"I think, but I don't have the strength, and my parents don't allow me to do

this."

The teenager's parents also vaguely discovered the truth afterwards, but maybe

considering the huge gap in strength, the hardship of adult life, or maybe

they didn't care about this daughter. They didn't seek revenge from Mork, and

were prepared to calm down the matter and let Pullman feel at ease. Work at

home and stop going to Trin City.

"Why? Why can they be so indifferent."

The boy clung to his knees tightly, his voice was puzzled and angry.

In the eyes of children, parents are heaven, aren’t they omnipotent?

Lorraine Hill also recalled some memories of the past. After junior high

school, the myths of her parents in her heart had been shattered, and she

thought she was much smarter than them.

However, after graduating from work and being beaten up by the society, she

began to understand some of the choices of her parents. Many things are not

because she doesn't want to, but she can't.

Just as Lorrain Hill was preparing to enlighten the boy, the mechanical voice

of the system appeared again.

New task: Answer the doubts of the young Pullman, and get rewards based on the

degree of completion, at least 70%. (Current progress is 0%)

Reward: Every time 20% of the progress is reached, you will get a chance to

draw a lottery. When the completion is 100%, you will get an extraordinary

creation formula.

Well, does this system still carry real-time emergency tasks?

Lorrain Hill began to think carefully about the boy's experience and the

possible doubts in his heart.

"Perhaps, parents also have their considerations."

Lorraine Hill began to explain to Pullman the difficulties of adult life, not

only to support the family, nobles and merchants are powerful, even if they

complain, they will die without disease, but also have to consider the future

survival of the only son, Pullman, and so on.

But the boy was still a little dissatisfied. He couldn't accept the result.

The progress showed that he was stuck at 26%.

Lorraine Hill also understands that such a gentle explanation is not enough to

convince the other party. In other words, she probably finds it difficult to

listen.

Then tell him the cruel truth.

"Because you have no power."

The girl moved the fire, added a few dead branches, and watched the

extinguishing flame grow bigger again.

The boy stayed, then lowered his head again.

"Yes, I can't beat that nobleman."

"No, I'm not talking about this power. The nobleman doesn't have to produce,

and his body is probably not as strong as you. One-on-one, you should be

stronger than him."

"Does that mean?"

"Have you ever thought about why some people do nothing but have more wealth

than you, and they can act unscrupulously, oppress and plunder."

"I, I don't know."

A question that had never been thought of appeared in the boy's mind.

"Their fields are planted by civilians, their clothes are woven by civilians,

their food is taken care of by civilians, and they let civilians serve as

escorts to protect them. Why can they do this?"

"Because they gave the money?" The boy hesitated for a while and answered.

"Where does their money come from?" the girl asked rhetorically.

"Their money..." In his mind, the boy desperately recalled what he had

experienced in his short life.

"Their money comes from collecting taxes, collecting rents, and working for

him." The girl answered for Pullman.

"Yes." But there seemed to be a problem, and Pullman couldn't tell.

"Let’s talk about collecting tax and rent first, don’t you think it’s strange

that the civilians work for them, and they give the civilians money."

"Why are they getting richer and richer, even without work."

"Probably because of labor and production more money?" The boy replied in

doubt, and then the progress began to move forward.

Lorrain Hill gave a secret compliment, and then began to recall that era in my

memory, countless people worked hard, even 996 did not have any entertainment

overtime, why still can't afford a house.

"Yes, this deal is not completely fair. You produced more money, and they only

gave you part of it."

"This....."

"Is it really that simple? Why don't the civilians produce it by themselves?"

You don’t know the answer at all at this time, yeah, why not?

"Because they have resources that civilians don't have. This resource can be a

lot of things, it can be a cow, it can be a shop, it can be a special

relationship, it can be a certain right."

"You don't have these scarce and necessary things, and you have to rely on

them, so they can enter into this unfair deal."

"Yes." The boy's voice was a little low.

"Could they always be like this? Can poor people like me have to work for them

forever?"

"This is not always the case. To maintain such behavior requires good order,

provided that everyone is reasonable."

"You should have heard of robbers, the kind of unreasonable people who take

everything from you and don't give you anything."

"So, they will spend part of the money to hire guards. Although these guards

do not engage in production and do not generate money, they can guarantee the

long-term existence of benefits."

The young man seemed to understand a lot, and he didn't seem to understand

anything. The world appeared before him in an unprecedented appearance.

watched the progress on the system advance to 68%, and then stopped again.

Lorrain Hill sighed slightly in his heart, it seemed that he had to finish

speaking.

"They hold 10,000 gold coins in their hands and only use 10 gold coins to hire

guards. Why don't these guards steal themselves?"

Lorrain Hill's voice gradually became more formal.

"Why don't you defeat the guards hired by 10 gold coins~www.mtlnovel.com~ to

** these 10,000 gold coins?"

"Because there is a kingdom as the last guardian of order, and those who

violate laws and systems will be suppressed, annihilated, and put to death."

"Why does the kingdom protect these people, even if they do evil, why are they

tolerant of each other, and why the law is not on your side?"

"Because they are the masters of this country, they are nobles and wealthy

merchants, not your common people."

"Of course, they have to protect the interests of their own class."

"Even if you kill this nobleman, as long as this environment exists, this kind

of thing will still be repeated."

Speaking of this, Lorrain Hill paused for a while, waiting for the boy to

think slowly.

Pullman was silent for a long time before slowly asking.

"I still don't understand, can this be unfair? Is it always like this?"

"The country, to a certain extent, is the embodiment of justice and order. If

justice is lost, the foundation of the country will be shattered."

"Do you want to ask me how to change all of this, that is, to build a country

where all people are equal, a country that is fair and just, wise and firm,

rich and powerful."

Lorraine Hill took the science college entrance examination in his previous

life, and studied engineering. For Marx and Lenin, he did not learn very well.

But fortunately, this country struggling to build in wind, rain and suffering,

clearly wrote the dragon slaying technique in the textbooks of every middle

school student. Where did this country come from, how it was established, what

mistakes we have made, and how to resolve these contradictions, we clearly

told every citizen.

Perhaps it is not perfect, and there are still many problems, but it is

undeniable that its greatness, our warriors, sacred beliefs, will never be

obliterated.
