Chapter 3319 Structural oppression The nature of power

But generally, no member of the upper family really does this.

Members of the upper family are not the same as born upper people. Illegitimate children like Olin also have the opportunity to become members of the upper family, as long as they are recognized by Osmantus.

But even if he is recognized, it is almost impossible for Olin to become the heir of the family, and it is even impossible to give him much training. It is amazing if he can barely be trained to be an elite mage.

In this case, as long as Olin is not stupid, he will not think that he is a real member of the upper family and thus point fingers at the common people.

As for the real members of the upper family, they have been systematically trained and cannot expel the common people at all. If they really do this, they may become a joke in the upper family circle in Tevimansa and even the entire Yeerlan the next day.

The authority of the upper family is not demonstrated by direct oppression of the common people. In fact, the upper families in the elven society are mostly friendly to the common people.

Even if it is Komanso who recognizes the supremacy of the golden elves, he will not let the most ordinary wood elves suffer unbearable humiliation.

The oppression of the lower classes by the upper families or upper elves exists in the whole process of social operation, such as restricting the spread of magic.

They don't say that wood elves are not allowed to learn magic, but they say-

Wood elves are not talented, no magician is willing to accept wood elves as apprentices, and the academy is unwilling to accept them, but if the wood elves are willing, they can come to the academy to take the assessment.

If you pass, congratulations on becoming a glorious magic technician, and you will work in the workshop until you die. If you don't pass, then go back to where you came from, and the best result is to become a glorious druid and work in the fields until you die.

If you can't do anything, it doesn't matter. Even if you don't do anything, the upper elves won't let them starve to death, but they won't be very comfortable. If you want to be more comfortable, you have to work harder.

As for the real magic academy that teaches magic systematically, I'm sorry, it's a private society and society. It doesn't accept applications from outsiders, and the country can't control it. If you are good enough, the academy will send you an invitation letter.

In addition, the price of goods has been raised, so that the income of the wood elves from their labor is barely enough to support themselves. It is almost impossible to improve themselves by saving money.

In fact, there are almost no channels for improvement.

In the eyes of the upper elves, the middle and lower elves are just tools with different uses. For example, the middle elves can help them save money, and when they save a certain amount, they can harvest.

The bottom elves are specialized in doing groceries. The best bottom elves are the kind who don't think about anything and contribute wholeheartedly to the prosperity of the elf world.

For such elves, the upper elves are also generous in giving certain honors. Such honors are very respected and popular in the bottom elves, and can also be used as certain qualifications in the middle elves.

But in the eyes of the upper elves, it is just a little leftovers they give out casually, just a means of controlling the lower elves.

If any upper elf takes it seriously, he will only be considered unworthy of being an upper elf and will sooner or later fall to the bottom.

So, for tools, as long as they don't offend themselves, how can the upper elves torture tools when they are full and have nothing to do? Instead, they have to protect them well and maintain them regularly!

Although this cognition does not exist in the minds of every member of the upper family, in the actual process of action and decision-making, they will still unconsciously make the most favorable choice for them, that is, to treat the middle and lower classes as tools and consumables.

Even if there are very few who do not do this, they will soon be excluded from the upper class, and even suffer continuous suppression until there is no voice at all.

This is the most disgusting thing about class solidification. Individual will can no longer be a decisive factor. The will of the group or class dominates and excludes and suppresses voices and behaviors that are not in line with the interests of the class.

In this case, the bottom seems to have no worries about food and clothing, but in fact the future has long been cut off, and they have just become pigs for the upper class.

In the country of short-lived species, this way of raising pigs may work. After all, wisdom also needs time to grow. When the short-lived species grows up to recognize the current situation, they have long been deeply trapped in it and unable to change.

But as an immortal species, even if the elves do not read any books for hundreds of years and only learn from life experience, they can also realize the cold and cruel aspects of the current society little by little, and then have the idea of ​​change.

And magic is the only way to change fate.

Xiaduo had seen the desire of the lower elves for magic long ago, which was enough to overcome the long-standing contempt and disdain of the elven world for Nether magic, just to seize this most likely only chance to change their fate.

Xiaduo could not completely change this situation for the time being, but he believed that intelligent life should not be treated like this, so he had a plan to actively spread magic.

The technician route is probably the best choice for the lower elves to change their fate (obtaining magic knowledge). This route will not harm the interests of the upper elves, at least not in the foreseeable time, but will greatly increase the interests of the upper elves.

The reason for this is that, using the theory of Xiaduo's hometown to explain it, training the lower elves into magic technicians is actually equivalent to improving productivity.

But while productivity is improved, the treatment of the lower elves will not be improved much. According to Xiaduo's speculation, it will probably remain the same as before - that is, they will not worry about food and clothing and can occasionally have some entertainment.

Almost all the benefits brought by the increase in productivity have been taken away by the upper elves, and this proportion will be much higher than in the past, and may even reach 99%!

This is the great growth of benefits that the upper elves can foresee.

The only hidden danger, and also the only opportunity for the lower class, is to be exposed to magic. As long as there are enough lower classes exposed to magic, it will be enough to produce a qualitative change.

For example, on Earth, if we really want to discuss how much power is mastered, the lower class actually has more power. Even if it is a violent machine, in the absence of fully automatic robots, it still needs to be directly controlled by the lower class.

The upper class relies on the system, faith, honor, money, etc. to control the lower class, and then control the most powerful violent machine.

If all the lower class minds are connected in an instant and have the idea of ​​change, then those upper classes that do not directly control power or resources can completely not exist!

The biggest difference between the magic world and the earth is that the upper elves directly control the most powerful power. In this case, the lower class may face the most brutal repression if they want to change their fate.

Of course, the magic world is not without advantages. That is, as an immortal species, the wisdom accumulated over hundreds of years by the elves has enabled most of their lower classes to have a higher level of awareness than the lower class of humans.

Of course, it can also be said that the longer one's life span, the harder it is to still suffer long and endless oppression.
