>>29865533The huge wealth disparity between the classes would help to emphasize how different the lifestyle between the two is, though. I'm imagining the divide being massive to the point where these merchants are just buying whatever they need instead of bothering to put in the work to lead a self-sufficient life. They're probably relying on a lot of foreign imports too, right? Surely the peasants would regard this as a gross display of opulence and greed? A complete disregard for the moral integrity demanded by their traditional code of honor, with the way the merchants' way of life depends so much on goods produced by foreign countries?
>>29865636Yeah, I was personally imagining that if Cunt did go with blood for Magni-chuubanite, killing Magmate alchemists in a battle would actually end up prolonging the golems' fighting power for a bit, since....now the dead guy's blood is just. There. For the taking. Which might temporarily make their army more threatening. Of course, eventually you run out of Magmates, or the enemy wises up and starts taking prisoners to be executed elsewhere.
