----------------------------------------

——The right of first night.

This was one of the most filthy and depraved systems in the Dark Ages. As the name suggests, this decree gave lord-level nobles the privilege of spending the first night with the wives of serfs and lower-class untouchables. There is nothing to evaluate about this power itself, because this power was originally born to satisfy the lust of the aristocratic class and satisfy their growing desire.

In the era ruled by ancient heroes, humans helped each other and struggled to survive in the darkest and bloodiest era!

But with the passing of the ancient heroes, the number of humans began to increase, and life was no longer as difficult as it was at the beginning. As a result, more monsters were born, and humans began to enslave each other. In order to enjoy more and satisfy the increasingly expanding desires of the ruling class, laws such as the right of first night began to be born. The birth of this law is not only a humanitarian issue, but also represents the darkest and bloody exploitation of the aristocracy.

Before the children of the lower class get married, the bride must spend a night in the lord's castle or manor.

This is a must!

Unless you can afford to pay an expensive fee, according to the laws of the southern plains, if you want to prevent the bride from going to the lord's castle to spend the night, then you must fill a basin that can fit the bride's hips with silver coins and deliver it to the lord!

How can an ordinary lower-class person afford so much money?

The end result is that each bride has to spend the night in the lord's castle before her wedding. Nothing may happen during this night, or some heinous things may happen. Because every bride who comes back from the lord's castle will never mention what happened that night again. In fact, the trick inside is not that difficult to guess, because many people know what will happen.

If the bride is a beautiful woman, then the lord will enjoy it himself. Even if he encounters someone with evil intentions, he will enjoy it and give it to his servants.

Many beautiful brides have been tortured into shape after they came out the next day!

If the bride is not beautiful enough, the lord will only let her spend one night in the castle. This night may not happen, or it may be rewarded by the lord to a servant.

Because in the dark night, too many sins can be tolerated!

This ultimately leads to a result, that is, the lower class people will never marry a beautiful woman, even a somewhat pretty woman, they will try not to consider it. Even if a beautiful woman appears among the lower class people, they will He will do everything possible to get him to marry a free citizen, even if he only pays a low dowry. There is no need to doubt the authenticity of the matter, because these nobles who have been in power for too long have become increasingly corrupt and perverted. When exercising the right of first night, the more beautiful a woman is, the more torture she will suffer on that night.

………………

If only that was it.

In fact, there are even more outrageous things behind!

That is a new law that has emerged with the emergence of the right of first night, that is-marriage tax!

Not much, five silver coins.

But compared to those poor people struggling at the bottom, these five silver coins are their life savings! If they want to get a recognized marriage, if they want to get a legal marriage, they must pay the marriage tax of these five silver coins. This money is handed over to the lords, and it is also one of the means by which these noble lords try their best to exploit the poor people of the lower classes. !

Their whole life has come and gone in vain. Just these two decrees have completely deprived them of all their life's dignity and savings!

Murphy didn't want to comment on these outrageous laws.

He is a modern man, coming from the twenty-first world, and there is absolutely no way he can accept these dark, ignorant and corrupt laws. In the past, because of lack of ability, he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to do it. But now that Athens has grown, its power has begun to overtake the decadent aristocratic parliament. He now has the strength to challenge these systems full of filth and depravity!

Although even if he would offend the aristocracy of the entire southern plains, Murphy would not hesitate to do it!

Be a human being.

Always ask for a clear conscience!

Since Murphy already has the idea in his mind to change the system of the southern plains, re-establish the order of the human world, and open up a civilized era, then he has nothing to care about, even if it will eventually force all the nobles to oppose him, he He will also shine his butcher's knife with firm eyes, and fight to create a bright future for the entire human world!

Which reform is not a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones?

Which reform was not a sea of ​​blood?

If there comes a time when his new law can be implemented only by clearing the way with rolling heads, Murphy will never care about killing all these nobles!

In fact.

He is already sharpening his knife.

The Principality of Athens has now been built by him into a huge machine that is ready for war at any time. As long as Murphy is willing, he can recruit a huge army of 100,000 people at any time, and this army is led by Athens' elite troops. Now, he is fully capable of unifying the entire southern plain by force, and he is also capable of crushing the power of the three Grand Dukes of the Noble Council into powder!

Murphy is waiting.

Wait for the right moment.

That is when the winter wheat is harvested next June. At that time, he will use his butcher knife to completely cut off this filthy and rotten shackles!

At that time, mankind will usher in a new future!

A bright era created by him!

--------------------------------------------------

Of the three ancient heroic spirits, only the growler Hegor is left. The other two heroic spirits chose the path of sacrifice to prove themselves. They are now one with Hegor. But also because of their disappearance, the extraordinary power that had always protected the Noble Council of the Southern Plains has begun to disappear. As this power disappeared, the divine light that shrouded the lands ruled by the Council of Nobles also began to fade.

Although because of the Olympus gods, the phenomenon of resurrection of the dead has also been suppressed in the lands ruled by the noble council.

However, although the power of death in these lands was suppressed by the divine power of the Olympus gods, the power full of filth has not completely dissipated. It still exists in the soil. This will inevitably lead to a result, that is, under the corrosion of this filthy power, the land will gradually lose the ability to grow all things, that is, the yield of food will continue to decrease!

The erosion of the power of the abyss, unless it is blessed by the gods, can use divine power to remove the filthy power from the land! Otherwise, the earth will become increasingly barren and lifeless, and eventually turn into another abyss...

The Principality of Athens is blessed by the divine power of the Olympus gods. In addition, it is also shrouded in the fertile domain of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Even so, Athens' food production has also experienced a certain reduction, and other places are completely One can imagine.

When the grain harvest comes next year, the food crisis in the southern plains will become more and more severe, and at that time the conflict between the lower class and the aristocracy will become more and more intense. At that time, the noble council will have to face a difficult situation, that is, how to resettle those hungry people! Are the nobles willing to use their precious food to appease the people? If they are willing to take it out, how many nobles are willing to give it?

How much can you give?

Murphy needs a reason so that he can justifiably use his butcher knife on those nobles!

Because if the wealth of these fat-minded aristocrats cannot be collected, even Murphy will not be able to settle so many refugees, and there will not be enough manpower, financial and material resources to carry out the subsequent internal affairs reforms. Even if the nobles are willing to hand over their power, with the huge wealth in their hands, Murphy will be seriously restricted and hindered by them in the future!

The only thing is that it is the currency circulating in this era. If these nobles deliberately want to cause trouble for Murphy, as long as they hold the money in their hands tightly, they can cause the entire human city-state to have insufficient currency and be unable to circulate.

No doubt about it!

Lady Elizabeth only inherited the title of Marquis, but the wealth accumulated by her family over the past century can support the construction and reform of the entire Athens. When she helped Murphy, she could easily take out a whole box of gold bars. This huge The financial resources are completely conceivable! The aristocrats in the southern plains have accumulated wealth for hundreds of years. Without completely beating them to death and maiming them, it would be difficult for Murphy to let go and start a big fight!

Win over a group of people and suppress a group of people.

Murphy now has enough of the pieces he needs.

The Principality of Athens now has a gathering of talents, and there will be no problem even if it re-establishes a governing system. It was impossible for Murphy to fully accept those aristocrats, because doing so would mean that nothing had changed.

You only get one chance, if you miss it, it’s forever!

Only with comparison can we know how to cherish...

Murphy has great ambitions. He not only wants to be a king, he also wants to carve out a bright future for the human world.

So, he is now.

You must 'kill the sheep' and eat the meat. Only in this way can you have enough strength and energy to deal with the next crisis and the increasingly approaching abyss invasion!

Want to drain the potential of human beings, want to survive in this turbulent era full of crises.

He must clear all obstacles! Unite all human beings, all power, and everything that can be used!

because……

Second Age Era 377, early December.

The high elves of Moonlight Glade brought a message to Murphy through the Panda Brewmaster Pan Green-Chen, that is, the plane laws of the entire world are gradually loosening. With the earth being continuously eroded, tiny microscopic structures have appeared in many places. Space cracks, these tiny space cracks cannot allow the great devil of the abyss to directly come to this world.

However, it has been able to allow some low-level lemures, monsters, little devils, etc. to descend to the material plane, and with the help of these low-level demons' bloody sacrifices, the great demons in the abyss can also descend to this plane one by one. Among!

Time is running out.

Many sneaky figures of little devils have appeared on the mainland.
