Planeswalker My Plane War

439 The Prince 4
The princes are the supreme ruling group of the "empire", owning a vast land and ruling many people, but this "empire" must be put in quotation marks, because this empire is not a concept on earth, and this world has not been established as a well-known concept on earth. the kind of state machinery.

Take Uncle as an example. Although Uncle is a lord, he has extremely loose rule over the people in his territory. Specifically, everyone below knows that they are ruled and protected by the prince.However, the uncle never collects taxes, does not conscript soldiers, and does not recruit civilians, because there is no such need.He occasionally recruits some followers, and may also find some "beauties", but this is definitely a benefit.A vacant position next to the prince is worth fighting for by the tribes below.

It is impossible for the ruler on the earth not to collect taxes and not to love, because the ruler himself, his entourage, his officials, and his soldiers need to support him.State machinery, various institutions, and various personnel must be established on a tax-based fiscal system.The construction of cities, palaces, water conservancy facilities, roads and other projects requires a system of manpower collection and payment based on corvee.There have been few exceptions throughout history.

But in this world, Prince Awa can support himself and everyone around him by himself.The "summoning food" that Zhang Cheng saw today is the embodiment of the prince's power (although Zhang Cheng doesn't know why he has this ability).

So although this greasy uncle rules this land, this kind of rule hardly has any elements of slavery and domination. Rather than saying rule, it is better to say that the prince unilaterally provides benefits for his people.All he received was the title "Lord of the Isles and Coasts," and the awe of all his retinue and people.

At the same time, because the world's productivity is backward, the land is sparsely populated, and large tracts of land are empty.This leads to two corollary consequences.On the one hand, there is no conflict between tribes, because there is no need for conflict between different tribes.Even if there is a conflict, it is easy for a prince with super-civilized technology to mediate.It's nothing more than finding a suitable place to move one of the tribes there.No difficulty, easy work.On the other hand, the moral standards of this kind of primitive tribe are very high, everyone is an idiot, and there will be no lazy people who just bask in the sun and don't work.As for class exploitation... Sorry, the productive forces are not developed enough, and classes have not yet appeared.Everyone is the same.

As a ruler, there is very little you can do.So the uncle lived a life of eating, drinking, basking in the sun and bragging every day. When he was bored, he went to the jungle to hunt, and when he was full, he went to the sea to catch fish... a life like a fairy.Occasionally, I went to a certain tribe under my name to ask for some local products for a change.This is definitely not oppression, but looking up to you, saying "I still remember a place like you", is definitely an act of gratitude.

Once the uncle has no money (in fact, this world has not even appeared in currency), and no supplies, come to a sacrificial ceremony, and get what you want.All you need is for the prince to come and pray to the "God", and things will fall from the sky immediately.

If any of the residents here held up the banner of "Princes and generals are better than each other", I guess the uncle would be overjoyed, and immediately with a big stroke of a pen, he announced, "You are independent from now on, what do you want to do!", and then secretly thanked himself Get rid of a bunch of useless baggage.

Of course, in fact, no one wants to be independent at all. Without the protection of the prince, they will be attacked from other places.Because of the poor technology across the ages, it is impossible to resist, let alone win.

People without a ruler are "abandoned people", no different from orphans, unable to resist after being hit and humiliated in various ways.

In this world, there is no war in the usual concept, because it is difficult to fight.I also want to know, holding a stone knife and ax to fight electromagnetic rifles and anti-gravity aircraft... This is just a joke.

On Earth, Uncle Hei with an AK rifle can still beat Uncle Hei with a bow and arrow.Not to mention the stone spear and stone axe.

Unless the two princes pinch each other.At this time, there is a feeling of war.It's a pity that the empire is in charge of it, and it's fine to make a small disturbance. If it is a little bit bigger, the empire is not deaf and blind.

There is no possibility of a Jingnan battle in this world, let alone dozens or hundreds of princes in the capital.

No army, no government, no public security, in fact nothing!This is a primitive society level country.But because the princes have super technology, they forcibly squeezed such a loose world into an empire.

In short, for the princes, life is not a little stressful.

The side effect of backward social production is that there is a serious shortage of entertainment resources.

A group of primitive tribes who live a life of fishing and hunting, and even agriculture is estimated to be only slash-and-burn. They cannot jump out of the "Pure Land of Bliss", nor can they develop any variety shows. Of course, they can't make TV movies, even if they have equipment. content.

In fact, Zhang Cheng understood after watching a circle of singing and dancing tonight.This kind of primitive and simple dance, the movements are not graceful, and the music is also the most primitive-in fact, the music of beating the beat with hands on wood.Can be called the original drum.Appreciate it once, it feels fresh.Watching you every day will soon get boring.

So for these princes, they don't have all the troubles of the rulers of other worlds.But they also have none of the joys of the rulers of other worlds.

What kind of music, what kind of dance in the north, all had to wait until the slavery society appeared. In the early middle and early stages of primitive society, even the era when bronze ware and agriculture did not develop naturally, there were none of them.

So the uncle is very boring, and the uncle is looking forward to the gift that the planeswalker who travels to different worlds can bring him surprises.

By the way, Zhang Cheng already knew what his predecessors brought to these princes - he brought "pets".

To put it bluntly, it is the beast card.Zhang Cheng knew before that most of the beast cards were actually very weak in combat effectiveness, basically they couldn't be used as the main force of planeswalkers, and they weren't even qualified as cannon fodder.But because of the spiritual link between the card creature and the card owner, and the natural obedience of the beast to the card owner, the card creature could easily be a pet.

Cats, or canines, are naturally attractive to humans.Even on earth, owning a tiger as a pet is very enviable, and it can even be used as a symbol of boasting by the rich.

Well, petting a big cat is actually more fun than petting a kitten, as long as the tiger doesn't attack you.

On the earth, it was probably during this primitive hunting society that dogs began to approach human life.But that doesn't happen in this world.And even if they did, the first dogs were hunting aids, not soul-soothing, time-killing pets.Therefore, dogs at this stage have no good looks at all, and they will not be as cute and gentle as pets.It will take many, many years for them to undergo repeated breeding and selection by humans before various pet dogs will appear.

Now they (if there are any) are still wild and unruly, and may attack their masters at any time.

As for the cold cats, it will have to wait longer, at least until the agricultural society is fully developed.

So the senior provided these obedient and cute pets, which became a hit immediately.Be a good advisor to the ruling class of the empire, thereby gaining their friendship and goodwill.

As for mechanical armor, single-person aircraft, etc., it is easy to understand.These things can be summoned by every prince, and the pets provided by the Planeswalker are a monopoly.

It's a really wonderful world.Now Zhang Cheng understood why even his well-informed predecessor used "wonderful authority" to describe the princes of this world.

The princes possessed, indeed, marvelous, unheard-of powers.The prince can use his status as a demigod to summon various items through rituals.Everything from food to tools is available, and even aircraft carriers can be summoned directly.

Of course, having said that, Zhang Cheng felt that they were the beneficiaries of a lost technological civilization - that civilization was estimated to be extinct, but the machines it made were still there.These mindless manufacturing machines make things and then somehow "mistake" princes as their masters.Then, through some kind of space transmission device, the item was transmitted to the prince.

But the power of princes has its limits.They are restricted by "charity points" and can only summon items allowed by the points.On the other hand, what they summon is limited.Princes get a feel for their own menu of conjurable items, which can be long, but also limited.

Let's say they haven't seen silk.It can be seen that this mysterious maker has no ability to make silk.

While thinking about it, Zhang Cheng came to the uncle's bedroom.It is said to be a bedroom, but it is actually a large room in an aircraft carrier.

Zhang Cheng reckoned that this might be the captain's bedroom, a reception room, or even a meeting room.The room is very large, covering an area of ​​more than two hundred square meters.

There are not many people here at the moment.Only the uncle himself and the few most trusted subordinates.

Uncle is very boring, so Uncle looks forward to the Planeswalker bringing fresh excitement to his boring life.The uncle wants two things from Zhang Cheng, one is a beautiful and fun toy that can kill time.One is something that can be used to pretend.

The silk provided by Zhang Cheng is very beautiful, but what the uncle really needs is not silk.What he needs is pretense.

All kinds of things that can make him pretend.

Of course, this pretense is not only for your followers, but also for other princes.

Zhang Cheng came out this time not for a deal, but for an expedition.But after all, it is very convenient for planeswalkers to carry items, so Zhang Cheng has always adhered to the principle of bringing things with him, and has accumulated a lot of things.

Now that there are no outsiders, everyone can sit down and bargain.

In the corner of the bedroom, a summoning circle, or sacrificial circle, has been drawn.Apparently, the uncle has no such concept as payment first and delivery later, he only knows how to pay first and deliver later.

There are not many beast cards in Zhang Cheng's hand, because the summoning of beast cards does not require any source cards, so many of them are given to the little girl.But he happens to have a few leopard cards in his hand now.

Leopards are actually quite embarrassing.Although it is a cat family, it is not strong among the big cats with explosive combat power, and it is not enough for fighting.But it's too eye-catching for scouting, so it's useless.

Even Zhang Cheng felt that, at any rate, wolves still had the advantage of "group activities", which could make up for the lack of quality with quantity.It's okay to use it as cannon fodder.But the leopard is really not good.

But now he knew it was really good.Because after he summoned a leopard, little pink love bubbles appeared in the uncle's eyes almost immediately.

After simply indicating the summoning method, Zhang Cheng gave the card to the uncle, and the uncle summoned the leopard, and then started stroking the big cat on the spot.As a card creature, what can a leopard do?It is also very helpless to sit obediently and be rubbed.

"Okay, I want this!" The uncle said sharply. "Just now I saw that you have three, give me all three! What do you want in exchange?"

"Uh," Zhang Cheng thought for a while, "I want an aircraft that can be directly operated by a person standing on it."

Although the remaining memories told him that planeswalkers shouldn't be too curious, this matter was indeed very curious.How on earth did these things appear?
The last sacrificial ceremony happened so suddenly that Zhang Cheng was completely unprepared.But now he specifically reminded Xiaoxiong and Ao Guang that although the card limited their observation range, it did not affect the two's ability to observe across boundaries.

Similar to what happened during the day, the old man presided over a ceremony that seemed meaningless to Zhang Cheng.At the end of the ceremony, a faint consciousness descended briefly, and then an unknown force caused a brief space distortion.

Zhang Cheng once again confirmed that this is a power that has nothing to do with magic, or a power that has nothing to do with magic in the usual concept.Because although the magic net in this world is not strong, Zhang Cheng can also feel that it has not been activated.

After the space distortion ended, what appeared in front of Zhang Cheng was a brand new single-person aircraft.Unlike the one Zhang Cheng owns, this aircraft has a joystick.It can be controlled by human hands, instead of being controlled indirectly through mechanical armor like his.

"What else?" The uncle was still stroking the big cat.

Zhang Cheng went over to check and receive his aircraft, and took the opportunity to take the cards of Ao Guang and Xiao Xiong in his hands.

"Did you see anything?"

"No." Ao Guang and Xiao Xiong said in unison. "At present, I can only confirm that this is not the effect of magic." There are obvious doubts in Ao Guang's spiritual link. "I'm afraid this is not the effect of divine power."
