Louis asked a little and roughly learned about the situation in Saint Solon from Matches.
When Louis first saw the buildings of the Dragon City and the clothes of the people on the streets, he had guessed that the economic and material standards here were probably similar to those of medieval Europe. After asking Matches, Louis was finally able to confirm that the standards here were similar to those of medieval Europe, and it was the early medieval period!
Frankly speaking, Saint Solon was extremely lacking in materials. Other than the existence of many races, supernatural powers, spells, and gods, the overall economic and material level was completely a replica of the Middle Ages!
For example, Louis took out nearly 200,000 tons of wheat. The reason why it shocked MaMaqis and Cisna was because only nobles, the rich and powerful nobles, could eat it every meal. These wheat were important ingredients for making soft white bread.
The wheat could be roughly divided into two parts, the refined wheat and the wheat bran. In modern times, there were specialized machines. As long as the harvested wheat was thrown into the machine, the wheat bran would be automatically peeled off after some electricity was used. In this backward civilization, people needed to manually peel off the wheat bit by bit. The cost of manually peeling off 200,000 tons of refined wheat was estimated to be enough to scare a bunch of nobles and even human royalty to death.
As for the ordinary people of Saint Sauron, they did not eat refined wheat, but wheat that was eaten together with wheat bran, which was commonly known as black bread.
How scary was black bread? There were many stories recorded during the Middle Ages on Earth. That thing was so hard that it could be used as a weapon to kill!! For example, a thief who entered a house to steal something was beaten to death by the owner with black bread. For example, a shrew who quarreled with her husband and beat her husband to death with black bread in a fit of agitation. It was not uncommon to see such a thing as black bread!
Although there was also black bread in modern society, it was completely different from the medieval black bread. It was processed black bread. Other than being a little sour, it could still be bitten.
What was wheat bran used for in modern times? After the wheat was separated by machines, the remaining refined wheat was used to make noodles, and the excess bran was used to feed pigs. In other words, the food eaten by ordinary people in the Middle Ages was only slightly better than that of modern pigs. However, ordinary people in the Middle World might not have leftovers to eat.
After a ton of wheat was peeled by hand, there might not be much refined wheat left. For ordinary people, this was simply unaffordable, so people could only eat the wheat together with the bran to fill their stomachs.
A meal of white bread was only given to the most distinguished guests in the wealthy families. The poor nobles could only eat black bread. Even the knights raised by the great nobles could only eat between black bread and white bread.
The Church called white bread "exquisite and sacred bread." Modern bread with cream and other ingredients was something that only the nobles and royalty with the most power could afford.
Years of war, coupled with the fact that there were many races in this world, and there was no science and technology, all of them relied on the heavens to survive. The result was an extreme lack of material resources. Even if you had the power of the world, you were helpless in the face of the overall lack of material resources.
In the medieval times, even the so-called enjoyment of the king was not worth mentioning in the eyes of modern people.
(It's not an exaggeration. This was the case in medieval Europe, or even worse!)）
Although there were mages in this world who could do some unimaginable things with spells, how many mages were there? It was estimated that less than a thousandth of the total number of humans could become mages. It was impossible for the poor to become mages, and the rich might not have the talent to become mages. Mages themselves were a big money-burner, and only the royal family and the powerful nobles were qualified to get mages to give them some extravagant things.
Spellcasters were all very proud and rare talents in any world. It was impossible for them to waste their precious energy and magic power to fight for the welfare of the commoners!
After thoroughly understanding the economic situation of the Saint Sauron World, Louis sighed. No wonder the Tailun Civilization called them a group of "barbarians". Even in Louis 'modern Earthling's eyes, these people were still a group of "barbarians". Their lack of resources was outrageous!
The development of tens of thousands of years was actually so backward. It had to be said that the 'God' of this world had put in a lot of effort. If there was material abundance, people's faith in God would weaken. Therefore, the God would never allow the major races of this world to have a technological leap like Earth.
Thinking about it this way, Louis felt that as an ordinary person, it was better to live in a technological world. At the very least, the material resources were enough to satisfy the needs of ordinary people.
However,
Louis looked at Cisina, who was still in a daze when she saw the golden mountain of wheat. He wondered how many tons of refined wheat he would need to exchange for a beautiful elf to play with.
"Marquise and Cisna, go check the stuff over there. I don't know what humans eat, but see if the stuff over there is usable.”
Louis lazily pointed with his dragon claw at another box of supplies.
Compared to the nearly 200,000 tons of wheat, the weight of these materials seemed to be much less, but it was definitely more than 10,000 tons!
Cesna and Matchise looked at each other. Even the proud elves could not be proud at this moment. The two of them numbly listened to Louis 'instructions and began to check the next thing.
Although the 200,000 tons of refined wheat had already shocked them, what they saw next still made their hearts race.
There was fine frozen meat, fruits that Cisina had never seen before, and many different kinds of vegetables that could only be seen on the table of nobles.
These items were piled up on the empty field as if they were free, as if they had entered the largest granary of the human empires.
No, even in the national treasury of the Imperium, there was absolutely no way to find so much refined wheat. At most, they could only find the bran, not to mention these well-preserved and fresh vegetables. How many slaves and land would it take to grow so many kinds of fruits and vegetables?!
Seeing that the dragon didn't seem to care, as if it didn't understand how terrifying its wealth was, Cesna and Matchis could only laugh bitterly and sigh. As expected of an ancient demigod dragon. Mortals like us couldn't even approach it in terms of thinking.
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Marcus saw something. He quickly picked it up and sniffed it. He even took a bite and said in horror,"…Is this the origin of magic?!”
