Chapter 489 Suspected Child of Destiny 1
Near midnight, the rain clouds that had vented enough were blown south by the north wind.
Kane released the sorcerer raven.
The biggest difference between the creation of this kind of magic energy and the spirit body, and the sorcerer's flying eagle is that they are faster, but the hovering ability is insufficient.
What Kane took a fancy to this time was their high-speed reconnaissance ability. The 12 magic ravens flew straight in 12 directions like dial scales.
This is tantamount to increasing Kane's perception range. The disadvantage is that it is relatively fuzzy observation. It is no longer like the inherent perception. Within the radius, even insects at the level of insects and ants cannot hide.
Without any suspense, this wave of investigation failed.
After all, Amanda can be said to have been robbed under Kane's nose. Then it was proved that the teleportation technique was not used, so it meant that the other party had mastered the technique of isolating his perception, thus cutting off the technique he released on Amanda in advance for positioning.
Kane also realized that he might be robbed because he suddenly couldn't sense Amanda's existence.
Now sending the spell Raven is aimed at the situation that the opponent has mastered the isolation technique, which cannot take effect for a long time. If this is the case, it means that Amanda has not been found because the other party has been transferred out of his basic perception circle in time.
Amanda couldn't find it. The mansion of the Gowan family, and even Fort Gowan, was sorted out because of this strict and resolute investigation.
If those black households are counted, there will be more than 500 people who are guilty enough to go to jail.
It can be said that this investigation not only uncovered hidden witches and other criminals, but also uncovered anti-Gowan family figures accumulated over a long period of time.
After all, with the use of the hypnotic Veritaserum (diluted), the clerk Lawrence sent only needs to have one more mouthful to dig out the deep-seated hatred.
The Gao En family are not kind people. They are vampires who lie on the people to suck blood. In some respects, they are more vicious than the vampires in the mountains.
Therefore, if viewed from the modern moral perspective of the original world, almost all people in Fort Gowan have reasons to hate the Gowan family, including serving as the deacon of the eagle dog, and even the officers and soldiers of the militia.
But if we look at it from the perspective of the world, the Gao En family is just rich and unkind.
Che Guevara, a famous revolutionary in the original world, once said: "The capitalists will build you schools, build hospitals, raise your basic salaries, and reduce your working hours, not because they are kind, but because we have been here."
Throughout history, the contradiction between the rulers and the ruled has always existed. If the ruled do not fight, then there will be no guarantees at the beginning of the industrial revolution, and the sweatshops that have been wiped out will continue to exist, or even intensify.
After all, reducing costs is also an important means of gaining competitiveness. Research and development of new technologies requires time and funds, and the gains may not be worth the losses. Vigorously squeezing the exploited and extracting more value is a strategy that can be seen and touched. If you feel that the other party can bear it, then tighten the rope tighter.
The cruelty of exploitation and oppression does not need to be elaborated too much. Kane only needs to know that ordinary people in this world have a much higher endurance than ordinary people in the original world, and it is not easy to make the mistake of pretending to be stupid.
Therefore, the large-scale use of hypnosis and veritaserum on people in a town is an absolute violation of privacy in the modern world of origin, and will cause major incidents. Under the pressure of global moral public opinion, the operation will definitely go to jail. It's just a sentence of 'doing a little too much'.
Yanan's universal moral standard is lower than that of inland developed areas, and people who are generally equivalent to serfs can imagine how many human rights they have.
Correspondingly, those who deeply scar Gao En's family for one reason or another, and are ready to, or have already taken practical actions, can imagine their future fate.
According to Lawrence's urination, these people will definitely be consumed in two or three years in a way similar to black miners.
This is the most common way rulers of this era deal with criminals.
Although there is supernatural power, it represents high-end technology, just like modern precision machining equipment cannot be used to make shovels.
In this era, the use of manpower is an extremely competitive resource operation. Hanging or something is too wasteful.
Kane didn't care about how Lawrence dealt with those people. His ass was sitting on the ruler's side, so he wouldn't say that hatred was justified, the Gowan family should be damned, and the people were innocent.
It is not his purpose and original intention to promote social development and civilization progress. Even if he can't bear it, he will only use tricks, or teach some skills, and use golden ideas to make the rulers better profit, and at the same time make the life of the ruled It's not that miserable, or at least I can live a little longer.
Kane's iron-blooded swarm system itself means that he desires and succeeds in becoming a ruler.
After so many years, he has experienced so many people and things, and he knows very well what kind of piss the ruler is.
It can be said that basically all rulers no longer regard people as people after their power reaches a certain height. At least when it comes to his career, that is.
Digitization, informatization, rationalization, and large-scale livestock, but not emotional, that is called emotional, but the ruler's taboo.
From this point of view, it doesn't matter whether you are a high-handed dictatorship, a democratic person, or a so-called revolutionary.
In such a sentence: the love of children and the benevolence of women can't do great things.
This is why Kane always said that the ruler has no good people.
No matter how high the reason is, no matter how many difficulties there are, it can't change the conclusion of the feedback from the facts caused by the behavior.
Compared to those Red Flag Pioneering Party who perform major surgery on the civilization there every time they go to a world, Kane prefers to play with his own rather than intervene deeply in the evolution of civilization in that world.
And to be more specific, since you want to interact with civilization, you will have a social orientation and a position. Kane, who is used to expressing considerable strength to prevent the harassment of snakes and scorpions, is easily accepted by the ruler of the world, and then it seems that the butt decides the head.
As soon as Kane came, he brought a bloodbath to Fort Gorn. Naturally, the working people didn't like him very much, and the thugs also didn't like him, because such a big incident failed to make money.
In the past, these people could make troubles for nothing, inform, sell information, or take advantage of the chaos.
This time it is not enough, even if there are many militia guards who are willing to cooperate, they dare not act rashly under strict orders and sharp methods.
Without these people taking advantage of the opportunity, Fort Gorn's investigation, although massive and violent, was very short-lived, and the overall damage caused was limited.
Especially the next day, under Kane's guidance, Lawrence dumped the blame on the witch by means of an announcement, and distributed a batch of old food as compensation, which further reduced the resentment of the people.
What is really beneficial to solve the current problems is the solution to black households.
Also following Kane's suggestion, a considerable number of black households were listed as new Fort residents, and obtained housing loans and arable land.
For Lawrence, this is actually a collection of more exploited objects, but the return of the proceeds is slower, but it lasts for a long time.
But for these black households, it is tantamount to obtaining a stable means of livelihood and shelter.
The exploiters are a whole class, and many are happy to make cameos.
For example, the owners of taverns and grocery stores, etc., when given the opportunity, their methods of exploitation are also very brutal.
In order to make a living, black households often have to bite the bullet and accept this kind of exploitation.
It was such a black household in the tavern who allowed Kane to obtain important clues.
This young woman not only had to work as a handyman in the back kitchen of the tavern, but also had to engage in the flesh business.
At work, she met a man who was not young but had no money to marry. This man often sent hunting game to the tavern.
She wanted to be a good man, and the man was willing to take him in, but the tavern owner was unwilling to give up such a money-making tool.
In desperation, she joined the sisterhood under the introduction of a secret missionary.
In fact, it was the Coven, she only found out later.
Under the banner of helping each other, the sisterhood is supporting her.
But there are also requirements for her, including doing some evil and terrible things, and she still has to sell her appearance, but it is more purposeful, and it is not a pure money and sex transaction.
To some extent, this is not as good as being exploited by the tavern owner.
But what can be done? Unless she has the will to die, otherwise with her ability, it is impossible to break free.
She doesn't want to die, she still wants to live a normal life with someone who is willing to marry her.
With such hope in my heart, my endurance is amazing.
As a result, this time, she escaped the shackles of the past because of the policy that Kane pointed out seemed benevolent. Out of gratitude, and also for the sake of the future, she chose to reveal the density of her knowledge.
"What's your name?"
"Cathy, my lord."
"You are very smart and made a very correct choice. If you can't uproot the sisterhood, they will still come to you in the future."
Cathy was also worried about this before. One of the difficulties in mixing rivers and lakes is that it is difficult to wash one's hands. Even if you have some, you will often be dragged back into the water by people from the rivers and lakes you have met for one or another reason.
For Kane, though, Cathy's wit isn't his focus. What he focused on was the news revealed by Cathy, and why she was the only one who was not restricted by the magic oath.
According to Cathy, somewhere underground in Fort Gorn, there is a very secret sacrificial place, and she thinks it should be remodeled on the basis of some kind of historic site. The secret meeting of the sisterhood is held there.
You must know that Kane's perception ability is extraordinary, and he has the status of a demigod. Even if his actual strength has not yet been achieved, he still has a certain degree of divinity bonus.
At the same time, in the extraordinary world, the underground is often where the power of darkness gathers, which means that Kane, as a dark contractor, can perceive a deeper underground than ordinary extraordinary people.
The last is the identity of the Archdruid. He still lacks the natural interaction with this world, and the bonus is limited, but it is also added.
It was also this buff effect that allowed him to discover that there was a vault deep underground that he could use to build a sanctuary on the way.
In this way, he failed to discover that there was a hidden sacrificial place under Fort Gorn.
This is enough to explain the unusual nature of the place
He felt that Cathy's judgment was probably correct, it was a ruin, and this judgment was also in line with his previous inference. That means that the opponent is holding some kind of artifact or holy object, which obscures his perception.
As for the magic oath, the magic oath that Kane refers to here is not a magic oath in the general sense, but a soul oath that is arbitrated by artifacts or sacred objects.
Discovering such an oath is not something that hypnosis and Veritaserum can do.
The reason for judging the existence of the magic oath is that he feels that such a big Fort Gorn, should not know that Cathy has joined the sisterhood alone.
After interrogating so many people, no one mentioned the sisterhood and the place of worship, probably because the magic oath is at work.
In addition, the scope of protection of the magic oath also shows that the artifact or sacred object cannot exert its full power, at least the person who masters it cannot do it, so it can only protect the key information, that is, the sisterhood and the ruins.
Kathy's peculiarity intrigued Kane, and despite the time constraints, he had Kathy do a simple test.
The results of the tests were that Cathy was a godborn, and most likely Destiny's Child.
Kane finds it very interesting that Destiny's Child usually only appears in a world of great controversy. Thinking about the situation of the countries in the continent of Ekara, it is really an era of turbulent wind and clouds, suitable for making waves. It's a pity that he doesn't know the historical direction of this world, and he doesn't know what role Cathy plays.
However, according to the inertia of Destiny's Child as the lone star of the gods, Cathy will probably not be able to combine with the hunter who is willing to marry her. main source of attack.
