The collapse of the magic material market in Hollevin didn't affect ordinary people's lives.
After all, most people were already satisfied if they could have enough food. Besides, the crop production in this world was very high. A tiny piece of land would be enough to keep a big family full even without a Druid. But the problem was that the lords and the nobles took too much advantage of ordinary people.
The nobles would be considered kindhearted if they asked for sixty percent of the yields, and they generally asked for eighty percent.
The price of the magic materials in Hollevin was so high that even Roland was affected by the inflation.
Although he could ask the magnates to deliver several types of magic materials to him for practice, the problem was that the Magic Tower needed more magic materials than those required in enchantment.
Many students at the magic school also needed magic materials to learn basic spells.
