Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 150 Duty Free Commercial Zone

High welfare is the main reason why wizard civilization is so harmonious.

Although the so-called collective will of wizards and common values ​​can make society stable to a certain extent, various open and covert struggles are still inevitable.

Because this is a common feature of intelligent life that requires survival, reproduction, and even further development.

Only extremely abundant material, almost inexhaustible resources, and the existence of external forces that can divert internal conflicts can ultimately create the current social order of wizards.

In other words, cruel exploitation and oppression, as well as fierce competition, have not disappeared.

Instead, it was moved away by wizards.

It was transferred to the conquered and enslaved alien races, as well as the alien civilizations that had not yet been conquered.

Only then can the wizards enjoy peace and tranquility on the lofty throne of "the supported".

……

This scene becomes more obvious the closer you get to the actual control area of ​​the wizard civilization.

Subordinate civilizations ruled by the wizard civilization will be given different statuses according to their own strength and contributions to the wizard civilization.

And have the right to use territories of different sizes and sections.

Although wizards allow them to develop freely or not in those worlds, the lands occupied by the subordinate civilizations are actually controlled by the wizard civilization.

It is only necessary to add layers of constraints to the core of the world's rules, and the subordinate civilizations will have no possibility of truly controlling those worlds.

In addition, the subordinate civilizations need to pay certain taxes to the wizard lord and the wizard civilization every once in a while as usage fees for those lands.

In addition to land tax, there are also many other miscellaneous taxes and levies.

The resources that are fixedly handed over based on the different types of attachments usually account for more than 30% of a civilization's total output.

In response to this, many subordinate civilizations of the wizard civilization will try every possible means to make up for their own financial losses.

Among them, those subordinate civilizations that are closer to the direct control area of ​​the wizard civilization will even establish various districts specifically for serving the wizards.

These districts may be eligible for certain tax breaks after review.

For example, the place where Vic is now is the world community assigned to the "Roland Civilization" by the Wizard Council.

……

……

"Tsk, it's the logo of the Shining Lighthouse Chamber of Commerce again. Their business coverage here is really wide."

In a prosperous world of Roland civilization, Vic was strolling casually on the street with Qi and Phyllis holding a rope in each hand.

The maids all have their own collars around their necks, which they almost never take off.

Because it was given by their masters and it was the best object to symbolize their status.

There's even a witchnet terminal built into the collar, as well as some interesting little spells.

Minor punishments like strength limitation, electric shock, and suffocation can be released from the collar as long as Vic thinks about it.

It’s just that Vic usually doesn’t turn on those functions, nor does he tie them up with ropes.

Don't ask, it's just too troublesome to ask.

……

However, since they were shopping now, Vic suddenly had the urge to tie Qi and Phyllis by the hand with a rope.

Judging from their expressions, these two little maids obviously enjoy the feeling of being owned and controlled by their master.

Even the intentional or unintentional glances from passers-by made them even more excited.

……

Unlike the Wood Spirit Hunter Civilization, the Roland Civilization did not have any isolation policy.

The citizens of the Roland civilization on the roadside, as well as citizens of other civilizations, can walk on the same streets with the wizards.

Although they almost didn't dare to disturb Vic, and even their every move in front of Vic was full of respect, as long as Vic took the initiative to say hello, they would respond.

In addition, Roland civilization also has people who are specifically responsible for handling wizard-related matters.

Wizards here are treated as special citizens.

……

……

"Duty-free commercial zone, the responsible operator is the Shining Lighthouse Chamber of Commerce."

Looking up, Vic stared at the rows of flashing characters in the air and read softly.

The architectural style of Roland civilization has a Western sense of magic, and it is also a more classical magical building, which looks very stylish.

After walking around and experiencing the customs and cultures of the different ethnic groups, Vic arrived at the destination of this trip - the duty-free commercial zone.

Before coming here, Vic's plan was to experience the scenery of the alien civilization and buy some necessary things.

Because it saves postage.

Different from the wood spirit hunter civilization in the more distant world communities.

The Roland civilization is much closer to the wizards' direct control area.

In wizard civilization, the stronger a civilization is, the closer the area it is allocated to is to the direct control area of ​​the wizard civilization.

The area directly controlled by the wizard civilization is composed of six world community clusters centered around six outpost worlds.

Advanced subordinate civilizations like the Roland civilization can live in a world closely attached to the six-world community cluster.

Compared with the Wood Spirit Hunter civilization, its status is much higher.

Since the wizarding world is the closest outpost world to him, it is also quite a distance away from the area where the Wood Spirit Hunter civilization is located.

The territory allocated to the Roland civilization was exactly between the two.

So Vic came along.

……

Speaking of which, not long after he became an official wizard, he went to Roland Civilization and asked for compensation for the error that occurred in the previous transmission of the main god space.

Logically speaking, the main god space would not pay too much money for such a thing.

Even the contract he signed before using the main god space contained relevant clauses.

But again, the status of wizards is quite high in wizard civilization and its affiliated civilizations.

Even though there was a corresponding exemption clause in the contract, the Shining Lighthouse Chamber of Commerce still made corresponding compensation to avoid Vic feeling unhappy.

That is, the loans that Vic owed during his apprenticeship were directly forgiven, and he was given a higher level of treatment within the Chamber of Commerce.

It's humanitarian compensation.

Vic was quite satisfied with this.

……

……

When he entered this world through the teleportation device, he immediately received an invitation from the Flashing Lighthouse Chamber of Commerce.

The inviter was still his old friend, "Wallace Wick".

At some point, that guy also left the Void Academy and returned to the headquarters of the Shining Lighthouse Chamber of Commerce.

I don't know what I want to talk to him about this time.

Vic always felt that it was more than just a simple greeting.
