He thought of many ways, yet the result was ... nothing.
Yes, in this era, what can be done?
This was not the slightly familiar Earth's Middle Ages, where the Middle Ages would have been ended by triggering a Renaissance wave to liberate minds and strengthen trade to grow the merchant and civic classes. Here, it wouldn't work.
The basis of the existence of the lordship system is based on the fact that the lords possessed a force that far exceeded that of the commoners, a force that included individuals as well as forces and even classes, either armies or magic or gods. The strongest of the first generation establishes rule, the second generation may not be as strong, but he has the force left behind by the previous generation and can maintain rule just as well. The third generation divides it up in a big way, and after that it keeps dividing and warring until the place is divided up to match its strength. From beginning to end, the lords were the fat piece of meat being divided without any ability to resist.
Because of the presence of gods and magic, this gap in strength can't be bridged by building muskets and artillery.
As for the others? Printing, ecological cycle, science and technology, these three casually take out the same, immediately can cause a god war. Even the smaller ones, like the curved plow, are labor-saving deep plowing. For that mere effect, it would likewise change the power contrast in a region, which would then lead to a war.
The target of Luna's desired benefit, the common farmer, wouldn't gain a bit of advantage because the lords could always charge a tax on the curved plow. Not only that, but it pushes them into a war that has nothing to do with them.
When she came out the next day, Luna went to meet Twilight Star with two dark circles under her eyes, only to be knocked to the ground even faster than yesterday.
While Twilightstar went to work in the fields, Luna started wandering around the village, he talked to everyone, talked about everything, and then wrote things down. Just two days later, he knew almost everything about the small village.
Once again, he was at the entrance of the village where everyone was gathered to rest when Luna stepped forward. He began by performing a few tricks like a seller, causing a roar of cheers until he had drawn the entire village to him. At the climax of his performance, he loudly announced that he was going to perform a new spell that had never been seen before! It was called "Five silver coins to please everyone!"
He noticed Twilight Star looking at him with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
He then used the five silver coins to buy some items from the grocery store owner's family, exchanged those items to some families for other goods, exchanged them to a few other families, and then exchanged them again, and again ... Until finally, when almost all of the families had gotten what they wanted, Luna still had the five silver coins in his hand.
When he spoke again, everyone looked at him as if he were a sage, and listened intently to every word he said. He spoke carefully about the things he had done in the last two days and said much more, when you die, do you wish someone would help the wife and children you left behind? When you are oppressed by villains, do you wish someone would stand with you? When you encounter injustice, do you want someone to help you seek justice? When you have the means to do so, are you willing to help others?
He used five silver coins to buy some thin wooden poles at the town's grocery store, laid them out in the middle of the sunbathing wheat field, and then gestured about a thin wooden pole being broken and how a handful of thin wooden poles could not be broken.
He saw the contemplation and silence of those people, and saw the excitement and hope of some, after which he pulled Twilight Star quickly out of the hamlet, and said that the Peasant Revolution was about to come out.
This matter had been fermenting privately for more than ten years.
The peasants are a class of people who don't like to leave the land, and even though a mutual aid group called "Five Silver Coins" has been formed here, the furthest they can go is to the neighboring villages, so even after ten years of development, this kind of group is still limited to the area around Baldur's Gate. When the nobles realized that the group was in trouble, they were suppressed, and the group collapsed and disbanded.
However, these crackdowns enraged the wrath of a young man, one of the children who listened to the stories on the edge of the sunning wheat field back in the day. He had been one of the stalwarts of the group, and after the group crumbled, he flew off into the distance like a sputtering spark, lighting fires all over the place and eventually burning back to Baldur's Gate.
He began to present himself as a preacher, dressed in sackcloth and traveling throughout western Faerun. At each village he would take out five silver coins, repeat what Luna had done back then, and then relate the simple truths. Many followed him to learn his wisdom, and then followed his example to become new fires and walk the countryside again.
In less than five years, the "Five Silver Coins" organization had spread throughout the east, and finally, under the leadership of some ambitious people, it was able to unite and begin to make its voice heard like a guild. The guild lacked high level power, but it was a collection of the most basic people in the east, and when the number of people exceeded a limit, that was power.
Thus, the leaders of the Five Silver Coins were sent to the city councils, and priests from the pantheons of good gods would occasionally join the Five Silver Coins to expand its influence. The "Five Silver Coins" has also begun to actively absorb like-minded Rangers, Druids, and other professionals, and these people make up the high-end power of the "Five Silver Coins". Putting aside the fights at the top, the peasants at the bottom did get a chance not to be exploited into abject poverty.
In their rumors, Luna had become a sage of several hundred years, holding three ears of wheat in her right hand and five silver coins on her spread palm in her left hand.
Well, this future great sage was looking away in embarrassment at Twilight Star's playful gaze.
"Join me in believing in the Goddess of the Forest? I think Lady Elona would surely like you!"
"Thanks, but my loyalty to Ouma will always remain the same."
"Lu ... Far, thank you, I love the things you do." Twilight Star's voice was like the wind through the forest.
"Actually, you shouldn't expect too much", Luna couldn't help but say, "That's just a seed, there's only a very, very small chance that it will actually grow into a big tree! Expect too much and you'll be disappointed."
"What are you talking about?" Twilight Star tossed her head, her hair shining brightly in the morning light, "I'm talking about the way you were when you were in and out of those farmhouses. Very down-to-earth and kind, you didn't look like an evil mage at all back then, you looked really good!"
...
"Up, down, up, left, up, up, up, right, jab!" Kurenai bowed forward and stabbed, a stream of air exploded from her body and her wooden sword stabbed at Luna's shoulder like a meteor.
Luna's body sidestepped and two shadows seemed to appear on her body, Kurenai's sword just passed through one of them, Luna took the opportunity to pick and stab at her ribs as Kurenai retreated.
"Very good. Now you attack."
"Up, up, right, left, left, up, down, up, down, up, down, blitz!" Luna's Burst relied not on strength but sensitivity, he did a light forward roll and his wooden sword pointed straight at the small of Kurenai's back.
"Too slow!" Kurenai gulped lightly and swung his sword so hard that Luna's sword flew out again.
"Ahhhhhh," Luna, who had lost her balance, fell out in front, and Kurenai's body moved and stood again, not dodging. Let Luna a moment to embrace Twilight Star's thighs, finally did not fall a fierce tiger downhill pounce.
[System alert: You win, +200xp ...]
"Up, down, up, down, stab!"
The campfire was burning.
Twilight Star was preparing dinner while watching Luna, who was practicing her sword, from afar.
Although she didn't understand what was the point of a mage learning swordsmanship, Luna did learn very quickly.
"Are mages really that smart?" She remembered the way he had given the peasants to figure out how to help each other. That solution was really good; the lords wouldn't look at anything worth less than five silver coins, but for the lords and freeholders, things worth less than five silver coins were exactly the bulk of their living supplies - barley, clay pots, knives, salt, and so on.
Of course, people in this era did not know the relationship between circulation rate and currency. If one were to count the total amount of supplies and the circulation rate, the figures would make even the lords salivate. Unfortunately, all of these would be hidden under the figure of five silver coins, thus appearing so insignificant.
The sound of dinner being served was heard.
Luna lowered his sword, moved his body, and walked behind a tree to change his clothes.
He felt he had learned well. After gradually adapting to the rhythm of a warrior, the specialties given to him by the system were basically functioning properly. Right now, he was still learning two of them,"Weapons at Hand" and "Fine Sword Specialization".
"Weapon in Hand" emphasized the use of agility attributes in the use of weapons. His agility attribute was high and he had quick reflexes, but he was too inexperienced and his intentions were too obvious. For an experienced adventurer like Kurenai, even if his attributes weren't as good as Luna's, it would be easy to cut off his movements. Trying to utilize this specialization would be a long term affair.
"Fine Sword Specialization" He was already able to utilize 70% of his power, and when he used his fine sword, Kurenai needed two swords to defeat him. Before, he had a whole lot of problems, lack of training, unsteady footwork, deformed movements, no center of gravity, and so on. Now through this half month's training, the basics were no longer a problem, and he had already begun practicing some of the advanced routines provided by the system, such as the "Sword Technique". Those were already imprinted in his body, it was just a matter of letting his body adapt to them and play them out, but of course it was very fast.
"Mmm, tastes good."
Luna praised as she took a sip of the mushroom soup.
"I learned it well, right?", Twilight Star heard the praise and immediately flaunted it beautifully. In this half month, Twilight Star had also learned a lot from Luna.
From the small village to the Friendly Arm Inn, it was only a two-day journey, which couldn't satisfy Luna's requirement of "learning swordsmanship and surviving in the wilderness".
So the two of them simply turned to the east and went through the Sharptooth Forest for a two to three week field trip, Luna himself was planning on multi-tasking, and would not hesitate to learn anything, which would be converted into skills and stored in the system. He had already acquired many skills such as "wilderness survival", "detection", "listening", "hiding", etc. Some of these skills were only at one or two levels, but some of them were not as advanced as the others. Some of these skills were only one or two levels old, but with high attribute bonuses, they could be used decently right away.
This was especially true for Kurenai, who was a person with no barriers in her heart.
When she was a child living in the forest and needing to fight wild beasts and protect her territory, she learned swordsmanship, learned animal communication, and became a ranger. When she helped others, she wished to heal the sick and injured, so she prayed to Lady Elona, and the goddess graciously granted her divine magic. When she expected to help farmers care for their farmland, she prayed to Lady Elona as well, so the goddess again guided her in the use of the forces of nature.
It could be said that she is Lady Elona's beloved daughter, pampered to the point where the god's chosen are jealous.
When she met Luna this time, she quickly followed her and learned many zero-ring spells, Mage's Hand, Illumination, Phantasmagoria, and the like, because she found them useful - "Holding things without using your hands!" "Illuminate without candles!" "Speak without opening your mouth!"
To say that Faerun's adventurers were in the wilderness, they basically just nibbled on both dried food and roasted meat. If you can make a hot stew of mushrooms, diced dried meat, and crumbled bread, you're a divine chef! It would have a "all hands on deck" effect - "It's worth dying right now after this meal!"
So, when Luna cooked a pot of soup with wild greens, mushrooms, rabbit meat, beans and spices from magical materials, and fried eggs and pork chops on a hot stone plate, Twilight Star was staring at the side without blinking, sucking her saliva unimaginatively, just like a greedy little girl. After that, it was "Luna's Kitchen" teaching time, frying and deep-frying is not available here, but there is absolutely no problem to eat in different ways.
Even the barley used to grind flour and bake bread, Luna can steam it into a soft and sweet, wheat rice can also be made into fried rice, the bottom of the fried can also be pasted with potpourri ... potpourri this thing is simply unimaginable to Twilight Star attraction. Alas, the poor child who has never eaten potato chips.
By the way, the teachings of the Goddess of the Forest do not prohibit the hunting of animals, they prohibit nonessential killing. Soliciting food in the forest is considered a natural thing to do. Specifically for the Twilight Star Maiden, it was that felines and canines were absolutely forbidden, other kinds of animals were moderately forbidden, and snakes and bugs were killed until they were exterminated!
It seems that childhood still has a considerable shadow.
