Returning to reality, Sno lifted the spiritual barrier around the room, put Heavenly Punishment back around his neck, and took out a strip of dried fish to hand to Lily, who habitually stood guard at the door. Although she could now make dried fish herself, Lily still enjoyed receiving this reward after keeping watch.
Sno lifted Lily onto his shoulder before pushing open the door. Looking at the completely transformed Trier, he was briefly lost in thought.
Though less than three months had passed, Trier's appearance had changed completely. The power of capital had been strictly restrained, and workers' status had been elevated. While such a situation would surely collapse before long in any other country, Intis was an exception.
That was because those in power in this country were a group composed of idealists and believers. Believers were loyal to God, while idealists were loyal to their faith. What they pursued was neither profit nor power, but something on another level.
In today's Intis, commoners could live like human beings, while those at the top could receive rewards matching their contributions. No one took an extra cent, and no one claimed an extra penny. In Sno's eyes, this was already the most perfect social structure.
Although Sno knew perfectly well that such a system could not last for long either, as human desires could never truly disappear, the next generation would find it difficult to preserve such idealism and devout faith. Even how long this generation could maintain its current mindset was uncertain.
But that did not really matter. After all, this world had less than twenty years left before the Apocalypse.
As for whether they could survive the Apocalypse twenty years later, and where the country should go afterward... those were matters for the citizens of this country
