Ren didn't think what he said was too harsh.
But the Goddess of Magic fell into silence.
Thinking about it carefully, that might actually be true.
The reason this world had stagnated might be because of these people.
Their ancestors had possessed these lands, these resources, these honors tens of thousands of years ago.
Relying on everything their ancestors left behind, they occupied most of this world's benefits—gold, silver, copper coins, grain, horses, slaves, serfs, books, knowledge, reputation, even the right to interpret some divine matters.
It seemed like every single benefit was stacked on these people.
And what did these people need to do?
Apparently nothing.
Just hold a banquet every day, engage in some useless socializing.
Then quietly wait for disaster years, use the cruelest methods to strip away whatever land remained in other people's hands.
Then continue holding banquets every day.
