People at the top are greedy, people at the bottom are kind

Greedy rulers, cunning speculators, kind-hearted oppressed, and onlookers who do not know the truth go with the wind. Most of the stories sung by the low-level people who turned into serfs are based on this kind of persona.
Lord Portley-Rind may not be a very greedy ruler, but he is really stupid, a Sima Zhong who doesn't eat meat. He doesn't understand everyone's needs, and only has cheese. He can justly announce at the banquet that the front of the children's hospital will be used to buy cheese, because it is of little use. He does not think that this is wrong, nor does he think that people will oppose it. Because this is a stupid place ruled by stupid people.
Archibald Snatcher's hate turned into pitiful when he learned that he was allergic to cheese. Several puppets couldn't refuse his request to eat cheese, and then tried to use leeches to help him relieve his symptoms, just like nurses taking care of willful children. The white hat, the cheese, and the pursuit of everything is impossible because it symbolizes power. However, after he completely wiped out the box monsters, Lord Portley-Rind's fulfillment of his promise was not happy. So even if he gets the white hat, even if he enters the tasting room, he is still just him. Will not become a member of the White Hat team in the true sense.
However, the box monsters who were masters of mechanical manufacturing and good-hearted people were almost destroyed by three or four hunters. It can be seen that even with high IQ and EQ, one needs to be brave.
In a world where all but lunatics are fools, just such a wise man saved the whole world. Have you suddenly gained such confidence in your life?

    Mechanical Lost City is still in the cult style! In the end, when I swallowed the piece of cheese, I knew it was going to come, but I was still shocked because I subconsciously thought that shai was shi and hid back! ps, the ending animation is really fun, and technically shows the stop-motion animation~

    Easter eggs are awesome! Moved cry! I feel that there are quite deep political metaphors in this book. Although the story is still not complicated, it is worth thinking about a lot more. Tribute to the maker again ~ hard work!
