Pullman's home is in Brownwood Village, which is close to the forest of the Tisilan Mountains. It is very remote and probably cannot be found on the map of the kingdom.

The only specialty of the village is gooseberries that originate from the forest. The bright red gooseberries like grapes are a rare berry with a sour taste. Some nobles like to eat them, so every year merchants come to the village to purchase them, which is also the largest income of the village in a year.

The incident happened when the merchants came to purchase them this year.

The most important thing about fruits is freshness. Master Mok will come to Brownwood Village to live one or two weeks in advance every year at this time, and sell the gooseberries produced in the village this year in several batches to nearby cities. This kind of fruit looks good and is popular. In order to show their status, the rich people in the city often purchase some to entertain guests to show their superiority and wealth.

Besides, it is not expensive to purchase. Give these silly villagers a silver coin a basket, and they will be very happy. After he transports it to the city, washes it, and puts it on a white plate, he can sell it for 60 silver coins a basket, which can be said to be a huge profit.

These dusty country bumpkins will never have a chance to enter the high-end shops in the noble district of the city, and they naturally don’t know what price these fruits will be sold for. Master Mok has been doing this business for many years.

On the way, he happened to meet Pullman’s sister Ashley.

Ashley is 14 years old this year. She just came back from taking a bath by the river. Her youthful and beautiful face immediately attracted Master Mok’s attention.

Pullman’s sister was favored by the businessman Master Mok, and then he told his parents that he could take her sister to the city to be a maid for the noble master.

Being a servant for the nobles is much happier than the life of 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, his sister has a good job, and he vaguely feels that if he has this money, he can discuss his marriage with Jonna.

But what he didn't expect was that he never saw his sister again, the thin but obedient sister.

After his sister left, two months later, he went to Trin City to find out the address of the nobleman's house and wanted to see his sister, but was stopped by the guards.

He was just a commoner boy, so he couldn't enter the noble's courtyard, so he stood opposite and asked the servants who came in and out about his sister.

But strangely, no one knew his sister. Finally, he felt something was wrong. One day, he sneaked in under the cover of night. Because he was not familiar with the terrain, he was quickly caught by the guards.

In the West Wind Kingdom, the lives of commoners are not worth much, and he broke into the mansion privately, so he was soon tortured. Fortunately, he was indeed a boy from a nearby village, and many people recognized him. Finally, after a severe warning, he was finally released.

But he still didn't give up. He knelt on the ground with scars all over his knees, constantly begging the guards if he could see his sister.

Finally, a young guard couldn't stand it anymore. When he left, he whispered in his ear, "You can go to the barren hills in the south of the city to look for it."

When he staggered to the barren hills, what appeared in front of him were small piles of earth with bones exposed.

This was a mass grave.

A bad premonition appeared in his mind. He searched around and finally found only a body of similar size.

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

Yes, the noble master wanted a maid, but not the kind of maid who served daily life as everyone imagined, but a toy that could be discarded at any time.

The boy trembled with his hands, unable to accept this fact. He just sat beside the corpse for a whole day and night, and finally cried and dug up the soil to bury the thin body in the soil.

When he said this, the boy's voice was a little choked, and regret filled his heart. If, if he had persuaded his parents at that time, it would be better, if he had not indulged in the fantasy of Joanna at that time.

Why, why is it like this? Their family just wants to live a better life! Isn't such a small wish allowed?

"Do you want revenge?"

The silver-haired girl's clear voice came from the other side of the fire.

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

The boy's parents also vaguely realized the truth of the matter afterwards, but perhaps considering the huge gap in strength, the difficulty of adult life, or perhaps they didn't care about their daughter, they did not seek revenge on Mok, prepared to keep things quiet, and let Pullman work at home and not go to Trin City again.

"Why? Why can they be so indifferent."

The boy grabbed his knees tightly, his voice revealing confusion and anger.

In the eyes of children, parents are the sky, aren't they omnipotent?

Loran Hill also recalled some past memories. After junior high school, the myth of her parents in her heart had been shattered. She thought she was much smarter than them.

However, after graduating and working, and being beaten up by society, she began to understand some of her parents' choices. Many things are not because they don't want to, but because they can't.

Just as Loran Hill was about to enlighten the boy, the mechanical voice of the system emerged again.

New task: answer the doubts of the boy Pullman, and get rewards depending on the completion rate, at least 70%. (Current progress 0%)

Reward: For every 20% progress, get a chance to draw a lottery, and when the completion rate is 100%, get a supernatural creation formula.

Okay, does this system also have real-time emergency tasks?

Loran Hill began to carefully recall the boy's experience and the possible doubts in his heart.

"Maybe, parents have their considerations."

Loran Hill began to explain to Pullman the difficulties of adult life. Not only do they have to support their families, but the nobles and merchants are powerful. Even if they go to appeal, it will be in vain. They also have to consider the future survival of their only son Pullman, etc.

But the boy was still a little dissatisfied. He couldn't accept such a result. The progress showed that it was stuck at 26%.

Luo Lanxier also understood that such a gentle explanation was not enough to convince the other party. If it were her, she would probably find it difficult to listen.

Then tell him the cruel truth.

"Because you have no strength."

The girl stirred the fire, added a few dead branches, and watched the dying flames grow bigger.

The boy was stunned for a moment and lowered his head again.

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

"No, I'm not talking about this strength. That noble doesn't work, and his body is probably not as strong as yours. One-on-one, you should be stronger than him."

"What does that mean?"

"Have you ever thought about why some people do nothing but have more wealth than you, and can do whatever they want, oppress and plunder."

"I, I don't know."

A question that he had never thought about 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 protect them as guards. Why can they do this?"

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

"Where does their money come from?" The girl asked back.

"Their money..." The boy began to desperately recall what he had seen and heard in his short life.

"Their money comes from collecting taxes, rents, and your labor and production for them." The girl answered for Pullman.

"Yes." But there seemed to be something wrong, and Pullman couldn't say it.

"Let's not talk about collecting taxes and rents first. Don't you think it's strange that civilians work for them and they give them money."

"Why are they getting richer and richer, and even don't have to work."

"Maybe it's because there is more money from labor and production?" The boy answered puzzledly, and then the progress began to move forward.

Loran Hill secretly praised, and began to recall the era in his memory, countless people worked hard, even 996 overtime without any entertainment, why couldn't they buy a house.

"Yes, this deal is not completely fair. You produced more money, but they only gave you a part of it."

"This..."

"But is it really that simple? Why don't the civilians produce it themselves?"

The boy didn't know the answer at this time. Yes, why not?

"Because they have resources that the civilians don't have. These resources can be many things, such as a cow, a store, a special relationship, or a right."

"You don't have these scarce and necessary things, so you have to rely on them, so they can make this unfair deal."

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

"Can they always be like this? Can poor people like me only work for them forever?"

"It's not always like this. Maintaining such behavior requires a good order, provided that everyone is reasonable."

"You should have heard of robbers, the kind of unreasonable people who take everything from you and give you nothing."

"So, they will take out part of the money to hire guards. Although these guards do not engage in production and do not generate money, they can ensure the long-term existence of benefits."

The boy seemed to understand a lot, but also seemed to understand nothing. The world appeared in front of him in an unprecedented appearance.

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

Loran Hill sighed slightly in his heart. It seems that he has to finish the story.

"They have 10,000 gold coins in their hands and only use 10 gold coins to hire guards. Why don't these guards embezzle?"

Loran Hill's voice gradually became formal.

"Why don't you defeat the guards hired for 10 gold coins and rob the 10,000 gold coins?"

"Because, with the kingdom as the last guardian of order, those who destroy the law and system will be suppressed, eliminated, and executed."

"Why does the kingdom protect these people, even if they do evil, why do they tolerate each other, why doesn't the law stand on your side?"

"Because they are the masters of this country, they are nobles and wealthy businessmen, not you civilians."

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

"Even if you kill this noble, as long as this environment exists, this kind of thing will still happen again."

At this point, Loran 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. Is it so unfair? Will it always be like this?"

"The country, to some extent, is the embodiment of justice and order. If justice is lost, the foundation of the country will also be destroyed."

"Do you want to ask me how to change all this? That is to build a country where everyone is equal, a fair and just, wise and firm, rich and powerful country."

In his previous life, Loran Hill participated in the science college entrance examination and studied engineering. He didn't learn Marxism-Leninism very well.

But fortunately, this country that struggled to build in the wind and rain and suffering has clearly written the art of slaying dragons in the textbooks of every middle school student. Where this country came from, how it was built, what mistakes we have made, and how to solve these contradictions, all clearly told every citizen.

Perhaps it is not perfect and there are still many problems, but its greatness cannot be denied. Our warriors and sacred beliefs will never be erased.
