Chapter 31 – Good City Management

The huge wall gave me a sense of oppression. As expected, a city managed by Holy Knights would feel different from other towns.

That feeling was probably one of rejection. You could almost feel the coldness of excluding everything except for what they believe in.

The carriage entered the city through a huge gate.

[What the… is the city being closed?]

[ Well, since this city is governed by the Holy Knights, a strict class system has been imposed on its people]

The peddler taught me that the classification was divided by the kind of skill a person has.

1. Holy skill…… Holy Knight

2. Attack skill…..Warrior

3. Production skill……craftsman, merchant, etc.

4. Other, unfavorable skills……serf

The holy knights are, of course, of the highest position, followed by the warriors that can fight monsters.

The third tier was made up of those who crafted weapons and armors for the Holy Knights and of those who sold those equipment.

Even here, it's only about people who were blessed with the skills they were born with.

People with useless skills are at the bottom. Irrelevant skills and also those that don't make sense are included in this class.

For example, let's take someone who has a enhancement skill. Even though this person has Magic Strenghtening (Small), if he/she doesn't have the essential magic talent, then it would be meaningless.

If you have Physical Strengthening (Small), you might be able to beat down a weak monster without having to rely on a skill like One-handed Sword Mastery. But there is a strict bination of skills determined by the Holy Knights that you have to have, otherwise you wouldn't be recognized as being part of the warrior class.

Deep inside, I felt thankful that I wasn't born in this city. With only the [Glutton] skill, I'm not even fit to bee a serf and would have most likely ended up disposed of.

Good-for-nothings like you will only make other citizens look bad. Aah, that reminded me of my days as the gate guard for the Burix. Similar things are done at a much larger scale in this city.

[Does the class system apply to travelers too?]

[Of course not. If it did, there wouldn't be any visitors ing here. It would be bad for the city if trade stagnated and there is no flow of people]

[Indeed….I'm relieved to hear that]

[Well, since you are a warrior, I think you could make a living if you decide to live here]

The warriors have better treatment here… However, they have to risk their life fighting monsters.

This means that they are actually mere meat shields at the mercy of the Holy Knights' beck and call. The Holy Knights created this system. Of course it's meant to be beneficial to them.
