Live Streaming: Azeroth

What Sarlayan said about entering the next era was not just an empty mouth.

During the period when he had just walked out of the Eversong Forest, Azeroth still retained the very typical characteristics of the medieval feudal era. The enfeoffment of territories by noble lords was still the mainstream in various countries at that time.

Even though the Republic of Darkness is a democratic system in name, it still uses the system of enfeoffment by lords, except that Malfurion and others changed the name of the lord to the euphemistically Governor-General.

In fact, the Dark Night Republic at that time was a mutant feudal kingdom centered on the Cenarion Council and the Church of the Moon. It was even more extreme than other countries in sharing the power of theocracy and political power.

The most typical feature of the Middle Ages that Danmaku is familiar with, apart from the aristocratic enfeoffment system, is the supremacy of theocratic power.

Under the powerful control of monotheistic religions, in many countries, even kings who ascend the throne need to be canonized by the pope before they can be recognized as orthodox.

In some literature, the Middle Ages are also called the Dark Ages, symbolizing the bleak lives of ordinary people under theocratic rule.

After years of being influenced by Danmu's modern thoughts, Sarlayan will not blindly believe that capitalism is more in line with Azeroth's development trajectory than feudalism.

In fact, there are still very serious class distinctions in the capital era, but capitalists at all levels who have the right to speak in the media are better at packaging themselves than the aristocrats in the feudal era.

Dissecting the phenomenon and looking at its essence, Saryan believes that the biggest difference between the feudal era and the capital era is the gap in productivity.

From another perspective, the two can also be called the agricultural age and the industrial age.

Regarding this point, Sarlayan began to promote the development of magic technology and the advancement of productivity when he was still in Quel'Thalas.

It is a very realistic truth that not all races can perfectly combine magic and technology like Quel'Thalas and the Eredar civilization to form a unique magical technology system.

Take the Kingdom of Lordaeron, which Sharlayan is familiar with, as an example.

As the leader among the seven human kingdoms, Lordaeron's overall national strength is undisputedly the first, but their attainments in magic research are even less than that of Quel'Thalas.

Although it has been gradually surpassed in some aspects in recent years due to the rapid technological advancement of Quel'Thalas, a lean camel is still larger than a horse, and the Kingdom of Lordaeron still has a decisive influence in the fields of politics, commerce, and diplomacy. .

According to the classification of countries by Sharlayan's own barrage netizens, Lordaeron is an all-round development country, but is limited by the background of the times and tends to be dominated by agriculture.

In recent years, Calia has noticed the rapid progress in productivity in Quel'Thalas, and she has also begun to consciously introduce various advanced equipment produced in Quel'Thalas.

For example, advanced automated agricultural machines such as combine harvesters and planters are powered by a mixture of oil and magic.

With the help of these machines, the fields that originally required hundreds of people to work can now be easily managed by just a few people who are skilled in operating the machines, saving a lot of human resources.

Not only that, as Quel'Thalas exports more and more "new toys" in various fields, and the types are becoming more and more abundant, the charm of the industrial era is gradually changing the daily life of everyone in Azeroth.

In the words of Sharlayan's summary from a barrage netizen, the things that ordinary people in Azeroth strive for throughout their lives can be summed up and classified as nothing more than basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.

Only after meeting these four most basic survival needs will they have room to consider other spiritual pursuits.

For example, the improvement of status, the control of power, etc.

The advanced industrial products such as automobiles, textile machines, and mobile phones exported by Quel'Thalas are subtly changing everyone's understanding of the world.

Unfortunately, Quel'Thalas is just a country after all, and spreading the influence of the industrial age around the world cannot be accomplished overnight.

As the leader of the Alliance, although the Kingdom of Lordaeron is not as rich in history as Quel'Thalas, which has been a country for more than 7,000 years, their development potential is far greater than that of Quel'Thalas, which has a low fertility rate.
