Doomsday Totem

Chapter 335 Void
Since entering school, Tie Zha has seen and heard in the college, and under the guidance of Eva Green and the two old maids, he has already gained a deep understanding of the social structure of the Silver City world.

This is a pyramid-shaped world...

The first is the great aristocratic class. They are the supreme rulers of most parts of the Silver City world. They are essentially the "royal family" of the old era, but they have changed the title of "democracy and freedom".They constitute the principality with the vassal nobles and subjects in the territory, and the head of their family is the supreme leader of the principality.Since the head of the great nobles is usually a "hereditary duke", the leader of the principality is also called the "grand duke".For example, Modleton, Lombard, Gresham, Clemens, Bruno, Reinhardt and other eleven world nobles.

The titles of great nobles are usually dukes and marquises.

Then there is the territorial aristocracy class, its full name is "nobles with actual territory", and there are two types of territorial aristocrats, one is the "vassal nobles" of the great nobles, whose land is bestowed by the great nobles, if they betray the principality, the land will be lost will be taken back in full; and the other is the "middle noble" who owns part of the land. In their territory, they have the same rights as the big nobles, but their land is relatively small and cannot form an independent duchy. Union of Middle Nobles.For example, No. 13, the Peter family, Burns family, Lei Ling family, and Jiang family in Yincheng, the Heros family and Rogier family in Shacheng, and the Horton family, Ling family, and Sima family in Luoyan Town are all territorial nobles.

The title of a landed nobility is usually marquess, earl.

Then there is the minor noble class, which is divided into two types, namely "hereditary nobles with limited conditions" and "honorary nobles".As the name suggests, the former is a noble title that can be inherited by the eldest son or eldest daughter if certain conditions are met, and has a living allowance uniformly distributed by the World Conference, while the latter is just an honorary title, which cannot be passed on and has no actual benefits.

Under normal circumstances, "hereditary nobles with limited conditions" can only be canonized by the World Conference. Although the leader of the Principality can also confer nobles below the Viscount, the annual quota is limited, and there is no living allowance until it is officially recognized by the World Conference. Unless the Grand Duke is willing to send it himself.

However, "honorary nobles" are generally established by convention, and rarely specially canonized.For example, the Wilderness Knight is a typical honorary nobleman. You Ge canonized Iron Slag as the guardian knight. According to the tradition of the Silver City world, her father, the golden prince Yu Jiawen, holds the title of duke, so she will continue the title of honorary marquis, and her guardian knight The title of honorary earl will be postponed.

The titles of lesser nobles are usually earl, viscount, baron.

Then there are the residents of Silver City, civilians, ground people and exiles.

Among them, since the Silver City in the Western Continent includes the ground part, and the Far Eastern Continent does not have a floating Silver City, there is no concept of ground people in these two continents, and only the Northern Wilderness and the Central Continent have the concept of ground people.Residents of Yincheng are ordinary humans with the blood of psykers, and civilians refer to ordinary humans living in big cities without the blood of psykers, such as Huang Yu, Johnson Zhang, Marcus and others; People generally refer to ordinary human beings who have no stable jobs and no identity certificates and live in small towns on the ground; as for exiles, they refer to worms, or criminals exiled by the world of Silver City...

Among all classes, the ground people and exiles are the bottom, including scavengers, vagabonds, small vendors, Black Sea fishermen, Icelanders and so on.

However, for the ruling class, both the middle class and the bottom class are their subjects.Therefore, the big nobles and territorial nobles have a friendlier attitude towards the people on the ground than the small nobles and the residents of Silver City, just like farmers never hate their cattle and sheep, even if they are dirty and stupid, that is Their property is inviolable.

In this pyramid-shaped social system, viewed from the bottom up, except for the discriminated insects, the entire world of Silver City thoroughly follows the "elite selection rule".To put it simply, it is social resources where capable people occupy an advantage.In this system, the closer to the bottom, the faster the screening speed, and the closer to the top, the higher the screening accuracy.

It is not difficult to see that even the great nobles are within the scope of this screening, and they are the most staunch supporters of this rule.It's just that whether they rise or decline, the whole process will be extremely long.

In a narrow sense, this system is cruel and impersonal, but in terms of the natural law of survival of the fittest, it is undoubtedly the most correct and stable.Under the cruel but relatively fair rules, people with different abilities and talents perform their duties, and push the world forward in different positions.Of course, worms are an exception, because they have been discriminated against, their social status and abilities are completely out of touch, they have lost their most basic rights, and they cannot participate in the competition in the world.

While thinking, the head specimen of the great red abyss demon was finally won by the seventh young master of the Climans family for a transaction price of [-] gold coins.Under the deliberate competition of the great nobles, this price has far exceeded the market price.

After the auction, Tie Slag got up to bid farewell to Hong Huihui.Hong Huihui stood up and gave him a sweet smile, and said, "Nice to meet you, Lord Wilderness Knight, I hope to have a chance to have dinner with you next time." Tie Slag nodded copingly, and then left the venue.On the way back to the academy, seeing that he was not in high spirits, Eva joked, "Proud little man, who are you thinking about?"

Tie Zha was about to deny it, but at this moment he remembered Mu Yu Linglan and Mu Yuqin Xin, and asked Eva about their whereabouts.

"Oh~ I see~" Eva glanced at him, pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and then said with a smile, "It turns out that the little star just now still couldn't satisfy the appetite of Lord Wilderness Knight~"

Tie Slag immediately rolled his eyes, expressing his displeasure strongly.Seeing this, Eva first smiled, then gently took his hand, and whispered to him about the return of Mu Yulinglan and Mu Yuqinxin to NO.13 Yincheng to inherit the Temple of Prayer for Rain , and comforted: "They have just taken over the affairs of the temple, and they may be a little too busy. Maybe after a while, they will take the initiative to contact you."

After returning to the Atlantic Mansion and watching Eva's car leave, Tie Zha sat alone in the back garden, looking at the crystal-clear swimming pool, lost in thought...

From meeting Mu Yuqinxin, to reuniting with Mu Yulinglan, to meeting You Ge, his life has undergone tremendous changes.

A few months ago, he just came to the academy. As the lowest-level student, his total property is only more than 50 gold coins. Watch the opening ceremony in the classroom.

But now, he lives in the mansion by the Lengxian Lake, eats fresh ingredients from all over the world, and will always have his VIP seat on any occasion.

He is more and more used to the comfort brought by money and status, enjoying delicious food, embracing beautiful girls, and yearning for a warm home...

But for some reason, when he calmed down, he felt an inexplicable emptiness.

He always feels that he does not belong here, he is a worm, this is a fact that no one can change.If one day his identity is exposed, what will he face?He didn't even dare to think about it.Everything in front of him is like a mirror, a flower in a mirror, and a moon in water. It seems to be very close, but it is far away from him...

He knew that one day he would leave here, but when he left here, he didn't know where to go.At this moment, it was as if his feet were filled with lead, and he was too heavy to walk.After thinking for a long time, he didn't stop thinking until night fell when the old maid came to remind him that dinner was ready.After dinner, he drank some wine and went to the small attic to rest.

However, just as he was falling asleep, an invisible shadow was sweeping across the entire city silently.

silent night...

The next morning, after breakfast, Tie Slag went to the living room to drink tea, and asked Old Jenny to read the newspaper for him as usual.However, when old Jenny put on her reading glasses and picked up the morning newspaper that old Mei Huizi had just ironed, her expression froze, as if she saw some shocking news.

"What's wrong?" Tie Slag asked, noticing something strange.

"My lord..." Old Jenny seemed a little hesitant.

"It's okay, let's read it," Tie Slag said.He had a hunch that what old Jenny saw would not be good news.

"Yesterday, an aristocratic man suddenly broke into Bragi's auction site, accusing Wilderness Knight Iron Slag of murdering his colleagues during the war in the dark forest, and abusing his power during his tenure in the Thinker Fortress..."

"In an interview with this newspaper yesterday, Hong Huihui claimed that the wild knight harassed her during the auction. She also said that his gaze was like a wild beast, which made her feel scared..."

Hearing this, Tie Slag narrowed his eyes, and the icy killing intent suddenly burst out uncontrollably.

While old Jenny was reading the newspaper, not far from the Atlantic Mansion, in the hall of Twilight Manor, Yugo Lombard and Eva Green were standing solemnly in front of a round wooden table, looking at the table. newspaper.

"Snapped!"

In the silence, You Ge suddenly slapped the headlines on the front page of the newspaper, and asked sharply, "Is the editor-in-chief of the Silver City Times crazy?"

"Please calm down, my princess." Eva advised.

"Send someone to bring him back, and I will interrogate myself, who instigated it." You Ge gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"My princess, anger is useless." Eva advised calmly.

"Let me know who did it, and I'll peel his skin and constrict his tendons." You Ge said with cold eyes.

"My princess, you are not the only heir to the temple, although the others don't seem to be competitive..." Eva reminded.

Under Eva's repeated persuasion, You Ge finally calmed down, pouted, and said, "Poor little scumbag, he must be very angry."
