"We're here, it should be here. I haven't been here for a long time."

The group of people came to the entrance of a remote village. Yagyu Jubei pointed at an old-looking house at the entrance of the village and said with some uncertainty.

On the side, Wen Wen, who was holding a camera, moved the camera to record the appearance of the village. While filming, the Black Feather Witch couldn't help but complain.

"You are really a poor friend. This village seems to have problems with food and clothing. You have the nerve to come to borrow money from others."

Wen Wen really couldn't understand why these Japanese witches lived such a miserable life. They were still witches after all.

As a reporter, she is definitely well-informed, but the average living standard of the witches in Japan is definitely the lowest she has ever seen.

No matter how poor the witches in the outside world are, they must have enough food and clothing. Even if they cannot afford a private island residence, it is not difficult to build a small house with a single door in a large residential area.

As for food, the witch does not need to eat. Eating is just to satisfy the taste. It is not a necessity. Besides, the price of ordinary food in the witch world is so low that ordinary people can hardly imagine. After all, the food that ordinary people need to cultivate for half a year is not enough for those who farm.

For a witch who specializes in breeding, it is just something that can be ripened with a random spell.

What is really expensive is the spiritual food that contains magic power. Long-term consumption of these spiritual food will help the little witch's magic power grow, but low-level spiritual food is not too expensive to accept, even for a relatively poor witch family.

, it may be true that you cannot afford to eat every meal, but it is not difficult to eat one meal in two or three days.

In short, the life of a poor witch in the outside world is comparable to that of a mortal noble, and even nobles may not be able to compare with it.

But look at the witches on Japan Island

Alas, this shabby little wooden house is disgusting to all mortals, let alone a witch. She is obviously a witch with extraordinary power, but her life is even more miserable than those mortals. Haha, what is the problem?

"Tsk, even if you don't have money, the witch can easily build a beautiful little house with her own power. How can it be so shabby for a spell?"

Wen Wen complained softly.

Dorothy glanced around the village and was not very surprised by this situation.

"Well, that's how it is when there are too many monks and too little rice."

She sighed and said.

Dongying Island is not that big, and overall it is only the size of a medium-sized Witch Territory. However, in a bigger place, the population is very dense.

Sophilia showed her the population statistics of Japan Island before. This big place has a population of two billion, which is outrageous.

You must know that the total population of the entire Witch World is only over 50 billion, but the territory of the Witch World is hundreds of millions of times larger than Japan Island.

Witches are scattered in this huge witch world, which is vast and sparsely populated, which gives the Council of Sages a headache.

After all, the witches' pace of expansion has never stopped, and the territory of the witch world is constantly expanding. In contrast, the witches' actually low birth rate cannot keep up with the expansion of the territory. In addition,

The high mortality rate of the war race consumes the population.

The Council of Sages is often troubled by the fact that large areas of territory have become deserted due to lack of management. Anyway, various propaganda on the Magic Network to promote marriage and birth has never stopped.

But Japan Island and Wanjie are two extremes.

Dongying Island has always been closed in the past, with outsiders not allowed in and locals not allowed to go out.

But witches are immortals. The most common witches can live for thousands of years, but the fertility of witches is not low.

It may be difficult for a powerful witch to have children, but the fertility of ordinary witches is not much worse than that of mortals. Even if the witch's fertility is a punishment mechanism, giving birth to a child will cause the magic power of the witch partner to permanently decline, but ordinary witches don't care about this in the first place.

, anyway, no matter how hard they work, they have no hope of becoming a great witch, so why not give birth to more children and take a gamble, what if a mutant genius is born?

The weaker you are, the more capable you are of giving birth.

The result can be imagined. Even though the land area of ​​Japan Island is about the size of two or three earths, this place may be huge enough for mortals, but it is too small for witches.

Generally speaking, the resident witch population of a medium-sized witch territory like Japan Island should not exceed 1 million, but now, Japan Island has obviously seriously exceeded the limit.

The limited land resources on this island are not enough to nourish so many witches. What is even more troublesome is the severely solidified social structure of Japan Island.

The vast majority of the land on this island belongs to the Chinese, who number only a few hundred thousand people.

So of course, the life of these ordinary Japanese witches is not very comfortable. They even have to rely on the Chinese and rely on serving the Chinese grandfathers in order to barely obtain the few resources.

To put it bluntly, they are no different from slaves.

Witches are indeed extraordinary beings with extraordinary power, and their productivity is indeed powerful, but the prosperity of overall productivity and individual living standards have never been said to be directly proportional.

What divides classes is never productivity, but whether they have control of the means of production.

Obviously, these ordinary Japanese witches do not have that condition.

Ordinary witches in the outside world are still superior to others. Even if they are at the bottom of the witch society, they are also at the top in the entire Western Universe. There are many servant races below them that they can use.

But this Japan Island

The witches can hardly afford to eat, so why are you counting on mortals?

Dorothy had discovered a long time ago that there were very few mortals on this Japanese island, even fewer than the number of witches. It was probably that they were literally swept to death by the witches.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, curling dogs often do not end well, and the high degree of internal friction caused by extreme involution is never a good thing.

The otaku witch couldn't help but sigh, but when she lowered her head and looked at the red shadow on her waist, her eyes became firm again.

It doesn't matter, I will take action later.

This darkness that has shrouded Japan for a long time will be torn apart by me, and the days to come will always get better and better.

On the other side, Yagyu Jubei looked at this shabby village and looked ashamed. She almost wanted to turn around and leave, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Battousai looking at her sword, and

There was a cold murderous intent in his eyes.

Miss Jianhao had no choice but to go up and knock on the door.

In fact, she is not very familiar with this family.

Decades ago, when she was still young, she traveled across the entire island in order to hone her sword skills. She encountered rough roads along the way and rescued many people. This family was one of the people she casually rescued back then.

This family is a hunter. In order to offset the lord's tax, they once ventured up the mountain to hunt a bear demon. Needless to say, the result was that they almost died from the bear's mouth.

I happened to be passing by at that time and saw that the bear demon was really powerful and a good material for practicing sword skills, so I went up and used a slash and a sliding shovel to successfully kill the bear demon and save the lives of the family.

Afterwards, the family treated her to a meal and told her that they would not forget their life-saving grace. If the benefactor needed it in the future, they would go through fire and water and they would die without hesitation.

Of course, Miss Jianhao didn't care about this at that time. After all, she didn't think these ordinary people could help her. They were too weak.

So, after finishing the meal, she left directly, and over the years, the two parties never contacted each other again. If it weren't for all the rich "friends" who had died this time, she might not have been able to

I remembered that I still had such a poor "friend".

Well, and she has millions of such "poor" friends.

There was no way. When she was traveling, she had cut down monsters, cut down murderers, and even cut down natural disasters such as strong winds and floods. She had indeed saved many people. Everyone said the same thing afterwards, and she had never done anything for so many years.

Never took it seriously.

Although these friends are poor, as long as each of them lends himself dozens or hundreds of gold dollars, he can almost pay off the debts of Battosai.

only

Alas, she knew these friends were poor, but she really didn't expect them to be so poor. Let alone hundreds of witch gold dollars per person, she felt that a few dollars per person might be enough.

Besides, it's been so long, it's hard to say whether they still recognize me as a "friend".

At this time, Yagyu Jubei was a little depressed. After experiencing dozens of "friend visits" in which her house was confiscated and her family was destroyed, she now couldn't understand the concept of "friends".

Those rich "friends" who had been in constant contact with her over the years had betrayed her, so these "friends" who hadn't been in contact for decades were probably even more unreliable.

Really, I feel that it is more reliable to repay the debt with money. After all, I am also a swordsman. Let Battousai do whatever he wants for hundreds of years, which is enough to repay the debt.

And just when Miss Jianhao was thinking wildly, the door soon opened, and a witch with a delicate face came out.

"Who are you looking for? Master Yagyu, it's you."

Seeing a stranger coming to her door, the delicate witch was a little nervous at first, but then her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Great, Master Yagyu, are you okay? Those notices are nonsense. They all say that you were killed by that Battosai. I just said how can this be?"

The witch's happiness was obvious. She was so happy to see her benefactor again that her eyes were red with joy. But when she turned her head and saw the cold swordsman with a cross scar on his face behind her benefactor, she was immediately confused.

"Babat. Battosai?"

Because of the notices posted everywhere, the appearance of thousands of people killing Battousai has long been widely circulated, and because the previous notice said that his benefactor, Yagyu-sama, was killed by Battousai, how could the delicate witch and her family listen to it?

This is why I hate this enemy "Batousai" to the core, so I remember it very clearly, and now I can recognize this enemy at a glance.

But why do benefactors and enemies get together?

This unexpected situation caused the delicate witch's brain to shut down.

"That's a long story."

This situation also gave Yagyu Jubei some headaches. Alas, it was his own impulsiveness that ruined Miss Battousai's reputation.

"That's right, but Yagyu-sama, you're fine. This is always a good thing."

When the delicate witch saw her benefactor acting like this, she nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions. She just warmly greeted the three of them into the house.

"Sir, come in and sit down. Please be sure to have a meal together today."

As she said this, she shouted towards the room.

"Sanada, come here quickly and see who is coming."

Upon hearing the greeting, another gentle-looking witch came out with two little girls who looked to be about seven or eight years old.
