THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 711. A Different Democracy

Sam and his group only walked on a one-way street and on their way, they passed through several chariots that were dragged by various ferocious beasts and most of them were horse-type beasts.

The carriage was completely covered and they could not see who was inside. Most drivers are human. But there was one carriage that was too eye-catching. Being dragged by the centaur.

The male centaur was wearing armor that covered his chest and there was even barding covering his body as he held the spear in his hand. There was a leather rope connected to his armor and a barding connected to the carriage at the other end.

The train has an entourage of centaurs, humans. That guy seems like a VIP.

Sam is very fascinated with Centaurs, they are creatures similar to Minotaurs in some aspects, for example, they are natural fighters and they are great archers. Just like Minotaurs that have a normal pale green skin color, Centaurs have a pale brown skin color and they also have a different skin color if they have an affinity with the element.

But the Centaur has more affinity with different elements than the Minotaur.

The train is actually being dragged by a centaur that has a dark brown color which is an indication that it can control the soil elements.

No matter how many carriages passed that route, no one cared about the group. They simply asked them to stay by the side with the movement until they left. Except that, there were no interruptions, inspections, or any actions taken by the people in their carriage or servants.

They only walked for another half an hour and finally they saw a city nearby. There were many carriages and people going in and out of the city, the city was relatively busy.

The town is surrounded by many fields and Sam can see some familiar plants. Most of them are rice fields, but they are not like fields on modern earth. These fields are much larger and larger than those on earth. Although the grain size is only a few millimeters longer and thicker, the plant itself grows very large and the results are amazingly good.

There were many humans working in the fields actively and there were guards standing in different places as they watched over the entire process. They're harvesting the fields.

Sam felt there was a market for agricultural machinery, but from the looks of it, there was no labor problem here like in Banished realm.

They walked to the entrance of the city and there was a toll station there. The toll was not much, just a few dozen spirit stones, they paid the toll and entered the city. The first thing they encountered after entering the city was the market.

There were many shops and hawkers selling items at the expense of spirit stones. There are all kinds of products here, but most are agricultural products or byproducts of agricultural products.

Sam was most surprised when he saw the cotton and the Hemp. This was something he did not find anywhere in the world, in fact, very few plant-based products. These Cotton and Hemp are also special spirit plants that have different levels of strength and resistance to attacks.

The clothes made by them would obviously be a kind of protector for the body.

From the looks of it, most of these people were definitely not from this area, the rice fields were not suitable for growing cotton.

Besides, there's a food store. There are many kinds of food, cooked, raw, fruits, vegetables so many of them.

Then came medicine and herbs.

They looked up at the sky and could tell that it was already noon.

Many people go to restaurants to eat.

Sam could not understand this aspect. Most of the time the cultivators would not worry about food. They could survive with spiritual energy and they would spend most of the time cultivating and gaining experience.

At least the inhabitants of the Banished region had curses placed on them and they could not take spiritual energy from spirit stones and food was the only way for them.

But the world of CharBhum has no restrictions whatsoever.

So this aspect of people spending so much time on food is something that is confusing. To eliminate that confusion, they went straight to the restaurant and ordered something to eat.

There were many dishes, but the group did not know him. There was only one item that they clearly understood from its name and they ordered it.

It was just steamed rice with some fried meat and vegetables.

The food they ate had enough spiritual energy to compensate for the spirit stones they paid for. And just like any food that has spiritual energy, this can also be easily digested.

Cultivation was a boring thing no matter how power-hungry one was. Especially cultivating with spirit stones was something that was truly boring and time consuming. If they exchange it for food like this, it saves time and is fun because it also tastes good.

And if someone manages to maintain a routine like this, they will also have a standard growth pattern as long as they manage to keep their understanding with energy consumption.

At Sam's level, they had to consume millions of spirit stones worth of spiritual energy to break through a single level and one could guess how boring it was.

But the current food did not help much as it was more suitable for the newborn stage cultivators and most of them were the ones eating in this place.

They wander around the city for a while and check in at the inn while Sam sends shadowy rats to gather information about what is happening in the city and how the world works.

Old Beast did say that Sam would feel nostalgic, but he did not explain how. Sam was already feeling nostalgic for the market and the produce, but he was convinced that this world had more to offer, so he was waiting for the news.

They stayed overnight and waited for the shadow rats to get the news they needed and the new mice came back the next morning with a lot of information.

They seem to have infiltrated some special places because they brought some very good information to them. One of the shadow rats even stole a book about the laws of this world. This surprised Sam. If there is a law book in particular then society must be very civilized because there are so many laws and this book is a common commodity for all officials.

Sam studied the information brought by the mice and the information from the books and studied many of the situations here and he also understood why he felt nostalgic.

Because the government here is not formed by the nobility or nobility, but rather created by democracy.

That's right, the whole world is running a democracy, and people can vote for their leaders.

There are also bureaucrats called Elders who oversee elections and departments and under ministers and local governments. Except for the main core leader who has the highest power anywhere, other employees under government must study in bureaucratic schools to get a job in any governing body.

Except for some normal jobs like servants, gatekeepers, guards, and physical work, the remaining government and administrative jobs would all be taken by the exams done in the bureaucratic schools.

This was something that Sam did not see coming at all. He thought this realm would also be something similar to the other realms he visited, with kingdoms and empires reigning over the entire general public and such. Things like Slavery and forced prostitution are also common here.

But things are different in the law books, there are strict laws against slavery and even though there is prostitution, a prostitute must be registered with the government before she can earn money in such a way.

The registration process will only be approved once they have verified that the person concerned is not coerced by any external party.

Because of this process, prostitution is actually a type of top class profession in the world.

It's even more enlightening.

But it's not some kind of sacred planet. Elections may help people choose their leaders, but not every species has the same treatment.

There are two types of inhabitants in this nature. One is a citizen and the other is a civilian. These two words have very different meanings in this world.

Citizens are ordinary people who generally live in this world under the protection of normal law without privilege. They can be human and centaur, but they have no right to choose. But civilians are citizens who have the right to vote.

The elves who were the superior and ruling races here were all civilians from birth and the only requirement for their voting rights was that they should reach their resurrection age.

As for the two remaining races, the Centaurs and the humans, they were born citizens, and to become civilians there were special requirements such as work experience, farmland, the duty of their soldiers, and the duty of their soldiers, or pay some taxes, there are many alternative routes where citizens can become civilians and this is the time when most people change their status because of the ongoing elections.

Sam could not help but smile at the moment they arrived.
