No need for nobles, let alone a king?
Anthony was stunned by Lynn's whimsical ideas.
"In the land of wizards, there are no so-called nobles and kings. The wizards' council is in charge of everything." Linn explained.
"A kingdom that belongs exclusively to wizards..." Anthony murmured softly. This was indeed an exciting proposal.
"But wouldn't this mean we have to go against everyone in the entire kingdom?" Anthony asked with a slight hesitation. Isn't this too big a game?
The influence of the nobles is deeply rooted in the Kingdom of Hadratah, not to mention that they also need to deal with the influence of the church.
"The nobility and royal family cannot represent the entire kingdom!" Linn said with a smile. "Don't forget, we also have another force that we can support - the largest number of people in the kingdom are the workers in the mines!"
"You mean those slaves?" Anthony couldn't help but frowned, "I don't think these people can afford to cause any trouble."
"You underestimate their strength and anger too much. These miners have been bullied and treated inhumanely on a daily basis. They are like a powder keg that explodes at a moment's notice. If used well, it can overturn the entire kingdom!" Lin En!
He said confidently.
He also knew why Anthony looked down upon the miners so much, because in this world, even if ordinary people gathered together, it would be difficult for them to resist the priests who had extraordinary abilities.
Often after a few magical spells, the impoverished people who were temporarily formed and armed with farm tools and mining manuscripts would break up and flee.
But these talents represent the majority of the kingdom, they just lack a leader and the courage and strength to resist.
Of course, Lin En had no intention of taking action against those nobles so soon. At least, these people could still be used until the church's influence was completely eradicated.
Under Lynn's constant explanations, Anthony quickly understood what he meant.
First, use the power of the royal family and nobles to deal with the Holy See, and finally clear out all these people to create a country unique to wizards.
"Then what should we do now?" Anthony asked.
"Wait! Wait for a suitable time!" Linn said. He had already asked Lauder to send people to sneak into several mines in the Kingdom of Hadhrata. He believed that it would not take long for the results to be seen.
…
The Barony of York is located in a town facing the sea in the east of the kingdom. Although the land here is barren and the environment is harsh, it is extremely rich in iron ore resources.
What makes the Baron even more happy is that someone in the royal capital has recently been purchasing large quantities of various ores, causing prices to rise even higher.
Rumor has it that this may be related to the dispute over the royal heir.
For York, who is greedy for pleasure and has no ambitions, no matter which prince ascends the throne, he only cares about whether he can take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a fortune to make up for the increasing financial losses caused by his extravagant life.
.
The task of increasing production naturally fell to Rupert as the supervisor.
Rupert also lived up to the Baron's expectations, and the amount of iron ore shipped to the royal capital increased almost every week.
However, things are not always so smooth. Rupert was very disappointed to find that in recent days, the hard-working mine slaves have actually learned to be lazy. As long as he is not careful, someone will take advantage of the darkness of the mine to huddle up.
Sleeping in the corner...
How could this not make Rupert feel angry? It would not be a joke if the output of the ore dissatisfied the Baron and blamed him.
"Get up, get up!" Rupert waved the whip in his hand vigorously, hitting a middle-aged man in ragged clothes who was huddled in the mine.
"Lord Rupert, please spare me, I'm too hungry, I really have no strength..." The man was rolled on the ground by the whip, and he kept shouting.
"Trash, everyone else is working hard to dig out the ore, but you are the only one who has no strength?" Rupert's hand became a little stronger again, and the man's chest was torn open with one blow, and he immediately made a fatal blow.
Prepare to beat the opponent to death on the spot as a shock, so that other mine slaves will remember it!
This is the result of trying to be lazy!
The sound of the whip breaking through the air was intertwined with the man's wailing. The mine slaves present were so frightened that they didn't even dare to stop what they were doing, let alone defend the man. They were afraid that the whip would hit them in the next moment.
On your own body!
"That's enough, stop fighting..." A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Rupert turned his head with an ugly expression, wanting to see who dared to challenge his majesty.
What stood out was a young man in his twenties, wearing coarse linen clothes full of holes, with a dirty face, and because he could only eat black bread and wheat leaves for a long time, his body was very thin, like a gust of wind.
He could be blown away, but the stubbornness in his eyes was extremely strong.
"Raeder, don't think that you know a little bit about medicinal herbs and can treat the injuries of these lowly mining slaves, so I don't dare to kill you... You'd better know your identity clearly for me!" Rupert said in a harsh tone.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and whipped the opponent directly in the face.
The young man named Leidel had no time to dodge, let alone dared to dodge. He took the whip forcefully and was knocked to the ground. There was a bloody mark on the right side of his face. Severe pain suddenly surged into his heart.
But Redel still endured the pain, climbed up from the ground, and whispered for mercy.
"Lord Rupert, more than a dozen people died last week due to the mining accident. If Uncle Ham also dies, the output of iron ore will probably be even less this week. Please, spare him!
"
Rupert hesitated for a moment. He didn't take the life or death of a mining slave seriously, but as the other party said, before the next batch of mining slaves is delivered, every time a person dies, the output of ore will be reduced.
The surrounding mine slaves also put down their tools at this moment and silently watched the situation on the field. When Redel was whipped by Rupert, some people even wanted to stand up and speak for him, but in the end they were still
Pulled.
Unlike Hamm, Redel is a very important person in this mine.
They mine slaves are digging ore in the mines day and night, and injuries are inevitable. However, the stingy Rupert will not hire a doctor for them. Many of them rely on Redel's help.
With half-assed medical skills, he barely managed to save his life.
Most people remember this kindness in their hearts, so after Redel was whipped, many miners spontaneously put down their tools in a silent protest...
