The three strode deeper into the village Along the way, Feng Bujue got an update fro Flashes of Salked next to theuide, so he did not introduce the culture of the village in a co Bujue was tactful with his questions He cleverly led Hank to provide honest and accurate inforhly separated into four parts, and the part closest to the entrance was for the poor That here Hank lived His only surviving family was his mother, as in her fifties She worked at the laundry room and worked ten-hour days for a pittance, with a day off every week
Hank earned ers, but he had a chance of not returning whenever he went out on a ers, and they had all died outside the village
The scavengers' as to scavenge for usefulan old ruin was not a comather, and transport natural resources that grew outside of the village back to the village These were mostly e of pollution
With inventions like the anti-gravity gun, this was as taxing a job as one s, 'lift' them up, and place them inside the Shark Coach
This job that did not sound that taxing was actually very dangerous Even though there was little dangerous wildlife that could survive the extreme weather, the forest, swamp, and sea were all extremely lethal threats to humans
The people who lived in the outermost circle were families like Hank's They received a miniscule three years of education The first two years were for learning basic math and letters The third year was to educate the froe of ten, they needed to rely on their own effort to survive All their lives, they would be doing repetitive and heavy labor or work that was extre as they followed the rules and finished their jobs, life was fine
After crossing the first layer, then caest It had a ricultural layer
The roads and architecture there were slightly different The main crop planted there had the appearance of corn, but the leaves were not green but had a circular shape and golden hue There was soround The exposed leaves were brown in color, and they gave off a delicious s afar Feng Bujue asked Hank about them, and he was told that they were Chew Rice and Sweet Fruit They were the villagers' staple food, and they were nae when they for In any case, these plants were not present during the Old Earth period
The lifestyle of the farhtly better than that of the people in the first area Their living arrangements were htly different Each faiven a piece of land to cultivate The production was heavily controlled, and everything had to be handed over to the village No one was allowed to harbor even one extra grain of rice The family income was dependent on the produce that was surrendered
In comparison, their lives were not that risky, and the ratio of resting and working was not that de Furthermore, the farmers had the chance to observe further study For families with more than two children, they could choose the one withtalent to further their education, to receive 'higher education' If they succeeded, then they had the chance to be promoted to the third layer
The third layer was reserved for the technical workers There was only a handful of them The population number wasthem were the y in the Village of Heavenly Blessing The norers, and once they were too old or lost their ability to work, they would become teachers
The people of this layer worked with their le living space was larger than the living space for a whole family in the outer layer The color of their unifor
The fourth layer was reserved for the 'priests' or the equivalent of royalty Their houses were relatively luxurious co, even members of the priesthood had to wear the same outfit Only the family with the Corben naer knew them by name and face Their portraits could be seen everywhere The children were taught to memorize the miracles perfore, and they had to learn songs to praise the, and their lives were comfortable Their tables were filled with food traded by the scavengers' lives That was a luxury that was beyond a siround water while the drinking water for the other villagers was froht in from outside
The priests' only responsibility was to protect the God's Child and to preserve the Corben fa had this talent or not, they had a responsibility to receive the most perfect education to learn asthem would be told part of the secrets reserved to the Corben naerial and leadershi+p positions of all the departe were manned by the priests, and that had been the culture for years For so about his department, he could rule without protest because of his name At the end of the day, there were assistants from the third layer to help him if he made any mistakes, and the assistants were not allowed tofor the priest's permission If they did, the punishment would be severe
The part beyond the fourth layer was the Shrine
The first three layers had patrols Even though the third layer had a shest a the fourth layer Only those with the priest uniforh hoops to earn the special pass
The outside of the shrine was not patrolled by noruards These were specially hand-picked individuals Someone like Hank as born in the outer layer had no chance of being selected One had to be born in the second or third layer to have the right to join the ranks of the special guards After all, protecting the shrine and the God's Child was the holiest of task, and that could not be given to the lowliest of people
”We'll enter the third layer soon” At the separation between second and third layer, Hank said, ”We should stop here The third layer hasBujue ordered fir the way, they had been questioned by h breezily with the same excuse, but Hank looked like he was about to faint every time
”Hey! Hank, is that you‽” Suddenly, a female voice called Hank's name
