Chapter 387 Dominant Faction

Let the white bull retreat to the early morning of May 20th.

When Eveline Berdette captured the funeral office group, she did not hand them over to the Red Hat, nor did she kill Ash and Harvey 'nip it in the bud'. Instead, she made a plan with An Nan Strange deal: Eveline is willing to protect their whereabouts and even provide them with comfortable accommodation, but requires that they can only move around in their own manor and are not allowed to leave without permission.

And as long as the six people obtain a total of 6,000 shell points, the transaction will be over and everyone in the funeral will be free.

There are six of them in total, which means each of them needs to earn 1,000 BEPs, and Efalin will provide them with many positions. If they work eight hours a day, they can earn 60 BEPs, and even 100 BEPs if they work overtime.

In other words, if they don't eat or drink, they can all run away in 10 days at most.

There is no doubt about the fairness of this transaction. With An Nan, the director of the firm, personally supervising and stipulating all the details in place, it is absolutely impossible for Efaline to exploit loopholes to trap them.

But the problem is, the deal itself is weird.

Ash originally thought that Ephraim wanted to threaten them into practicing criminal law, but the jobs offered by Ephraim were all normal, such as cleaning corridors, trimming gardening, drying clothes... and even a position as a mental health therapist. Apart from the huge workload due to the size of the Berdette house, there was no difficulty.

The only obvious trap is that the food here requires the consumption of shell points, which will greatly slow down their accumulation of shell points. Therefore, the initial idea of ​​​​Ya Xiu and others was to only work and not consume. As for eating and drinking, they would rely on the suitcase of the Panji.

They didn't forget that Panji carried a lot of emergency dry food with him.

However, Panji said no. He had plenty of emergency dry food, but it could not support the daily needs of six people for more than ten days, not to mention that they had to work intensively on weekdays and had to eat fresh, hot and nutritious food to satisfy their bodies. .

And An Nan also said: "If you only save money and don't consume, you will easily fall into Eveline's trap. What Berdette likes most are people like you who like to delay gratification and force yourself, because you will Use future expectations to overcome current difficulties and constantly put pressure on yourself. When a temptation appears that you can't refuse, you will use the word "reward" to hypnotize yourself and spend thousands of dollars in exchange for your own happiness. "

"The so-called currency has value only when it circulates. If it is not used at all, it is just a number on the book and will be easily spent. Even if it is to understand the value of Beidian, and more importantly to make you cherish your income, you Also use shellfish points to buy food.”

"I can only remind you one thing: at most, you can only use up the shell points you have earned. You must not use 'shells', and you cannot accept any gifts from Eveline unless she says, 'This is an unconditional gift. A gift to you'."

"Flowers and gifts are Berdette's most evil miracle, the supreme masterpiece of the dominant faction."

When An Nan unveiled the mystery of the dominant faction, Yaxiu and others understood Evelin's treacherous intentions.

The Domination Faction is also an ancient faction with a long history. It is a derivative of the Psychic Faction and is also known as the 'Slave Faction'.

Its name says it all - dominate others and enslave all things.

It is said that during the war period thousands of years ago, the domination faction was at its peak. Every powerful force must have a high-ranking domination magician. Only a domination magician can represent the comprehensive combat power of a force. A force without a domination magician is just worthless. Mention the stinky fish and rotten shrimps.

The reason for this is that the domination magician can have the combat power of one against ten thousand. This is not a modifier, it is the true meaning of "one against ten thousand": a dominator can enslave an army of over ten thousand, and can easily destroy all classical legions whose command relies on shouting and communication.

Even magicians of the same level cannot match a domination magician with an established legion. The reputations of 'strategic magician' and 'legionary magician' have made the dominance faction look down upon other magic factions. There was even a saying that 'the end of magic is domination' appeared for a period of time.

But the biggest enemy of the magic faction is the development of the times, the progress of magic, and the changes in people's minds.

When the Yisu royal family unified the gospel, the need for war was suppressed to the limit, and the disadvantages of the dominant faction were instantly magnified to the extreme: Dominator magicians often control a certain kind of fighting beast, such as wolves, cats, rats, pigs, etc., with war At times, war can be used to support war or support these beasts, but without war, there is no reason to continue to raise the private property of magicians.

The Dominator without legion is just a low-end version of the Psionist. The Dominator has also tried to reverse the version, such as letting the legions produce and mine, but no matter how dexterous the beast is, it is impossible to compare with the clumsiest orc.

As for using the dominant faction to run animal husbandry - it's not impossible, but ordinary people without a dominant faction can also herd sheep and raise pigs very well.

Not all military installations can be converted to civilian operations.

This can't even be called a decline. After all, decline is a slow and gradual process, and the dominant faction died violently on the spot to celebrate peace on the day the gospel was unified.

According to the course of history, perhaps one day the Gospel will fall into war again, or a general war between kingdoms will occur, then the dominant faction will be dug out of the history by magicians and updated to a more brilliant and cruel color.

There is no eternity in royal power, only interests are everlasting.

But the Berdette family successfully blocked the wheel of history and became the only reverse version of the powerful in the entire gospel - they invented the miracle that can control intelligent creatures.

The reason why the dominant faction only enslaves beasts and not intelligent creatures—even orcs, ogres, and goblins, who are known as the "shit" of intelligent creatures—is because intelligent creatures have civilization and can communicate, which means This allows them to accumulate knowledge and enhance their wisdom.

Wisdom is not a fixed attribute. For example, compared with a human who has graduated from college orcs who grew up with beasts in the jungle, there is no doubt that the former is smarter than the latter. As long as you continue to acquire new knowledge, form your own three views, and learn to think, your wisdom will gradually grow.

The natural enemy of the dominant faction is wisdom.

The so-called domination is to "pretend that one's own mind is the mind of others", letting one's orders become the destiny of enslaving living beings, and letting one's own will become the only one that enslaves living beings.

Why are beasts easy to control? Because they are not smart enough, even if they resist, they don’t know why they resist, how to resist, and what to do after resisting. The process of domination is equivalent to saying to them, "Listen to me and I will let you eat, drink, and sleep warmly." Beasts They thought this was good, so they were enslaved.

Intelligent creatures can think, crave for more, and ask, "Can I stop working and just eat?", "I don't want to go," "Is it possible that you are my slave?"...One or two is okay, but the number Once there are tens of thousands of them, it becomes a thousand times more difficult for the magician to control them, and they cannot control them at all.

A dominator who can enslave an army of beasts can only control a maximum of ten intelligent creatures, and the beasts will almost never rebel, but there is a high probability that intelligent creatures will backstab the sorcerer out of dissatisfaction.

And how many intelligent creatures does Berdette control?

According to statistics, the permanent population of Memphela in 1687 was 7.958 million people - of course there were more than that, because unlike Brahma, Berdette's properties were spread all over the Gospel, and the total number of people they controlled probably exceeded ten million.

The reason why Berdette was able to accomplish such a terrifying feat was because they combined the Dominance Faction and the Ritual Faction to leverage the power of the Void Realm.

Berdette is not pursuing 100% control over other creatures, nor is Evaline so large that it can control the souls of millions of people, but is using a mutually beneficial contract to a certain extent - I can give you enough benefits, But you have to share part of your thinking ability with me.

It is said that it is a very wonderful feeling. The person being dominated does not feel that a person is living in his head - Berdette has no time to explore the turbulent heart of a mortal - in fact, according to the investigation, Memphela Everyone thought this was a 'good deal', 'they took advantage', and 'Berdette suffered a loss of blood'.

So did Berdette really lose?

According to statistics, Memphis has the highest per capita working hours, the lowest level of aging, the highest level of consumption, and the entire population is in debt.

"Advanced consumption of entertainment", "high-intensity work", "getting married and having children" are almost incompatible words, but they are the common characteristics of every Memphila person. In addition to getting married and having children, each of them can also If you have a high-intensity job, once you take a vacation, you will continue to consume and even overdraw your loan limit, and then return to high-intensity work.

Once they reach the age of fifty and their physical functions decline, Memphillians will suddenly have thoughts such as 'relive their adventure dreams', 'have the courage to challenge life', and 'I want to see the gospel is so great'. They voluntarily gave up their jobs, and after spending all their money, they went to die in places such as the bottom of the abyss, the mountains, and the forbidden areas of life. Therefore, the population of Memphis has always been very healthy. The streets are full of young and middle-aged people, and there is not a single one at all. The old man is always full of energy.

By the way, the city with the highest level of aging is Vanmula.

Everyone in Memphelia feels that they are normal and have a very happy and fulfilling life, but this is the horror of Berdette.

Through rituals, Berdette turns the thinking abilities of millions of people into his own mental computing power, and then in turn subtly influences every subject along the thread of thinking - to put it simply, Berdette is using the people of Memphela Given the mental resources to control the people of Memphela, Evelin, even if he is just a two-winged magician, can easily control the spiritual authority of tens of millions of people.

Berdette did not try to forcibly control the people, issuing orders that would make people resist, such as 'work me until you die', 'give me all your money', or 'kill yourself if your efficiency drops and let the younger ones come'. At the thinking level, the use of packaged desserts such as 'pursue dreams', 'reward yourself', and 'you will get old if you don't take risks' subtly transform Memphira people into the producers and consumers they need.

The fact that the Berdette Consortium has been able to stand firm in Memphela for so many years, and even completely take over the second-tier city with the era bonus of Memphela, is enough to prove that they have successfully transformed the dominant faction into a new version that is suitable for civilized society.

The medium through which Berdette controls the people is money, or in other words, loans.

They provide the whole society with interest-free loans that can be borrowed at any time and the repayment period is calculated in years, but the deposit is the thinking ability shared by the borrower. The more you borrow, the greater the proportion of sharing.

It is unknown how the Memphians in the past responded, but almost all Memphians today regard the ‘Hua Bei Loans’ as their own wallets and spent endless amounts of money on them when they were young.

If they collectively do not repay the loan, Beldette may have a capital chain crisis. However, what is interesting is that once the Memphiles reach adulthood, they will work hard to repay the loan and continue to use the loan. The word "Lao Lai" is almost never used in Appeared in Memphela's dictionary.

"It's better to say it's a money faction than a domination faction." An Nan concluded: "So you understand why Evelin asked us to save 6,000 Bei points, right? She just gave you a channel for consumption in order to seduce you to use it. Huabei can then infect your minds and transform you into the slaves she needs."

"Don't accept any gifts from her. As long as she doesn't declare to give it to you unconditionally, it is still her property. Every minute you use it is equivalent to usurping her interests. She can also use this to make you repay your thinking ability."

Igura has a question: "With such an easy-to-use money faction, why don't Azula, Vanmula and other places follow suit, and only Berdette is using it?"

Annan replied: "Because not every family has an angel ancestor."

The fundamental reason why Berdette can control tens of millions of people is that every loan in their consortium is bound to a contract of "money in exchange for thinking ability". The real executor is not Evelin, let alone her ancestors, but the virtual territory.

Only the virtual realm can support this kind of high-frequency contracts that need to happen tens of millions of times every day. In a sense, Berdette's backstage is actually a virtual realm.

Even if other families wanted to imitate Berdette, without the virtual realm, they would not be able to control dozens of people, and it would be too difficult to open a small or medium-sized enterprise.

In the past, An Nan and others didn't understand how Berdette got into the virtual realm. It wasn't until the release of "Family List" that everyone understood - although the Angel of Death did not leave a legacy to the family, it did leave a legacy A golden key that allows future generations to enslave all sentient beings.

"The Necromancer faction and the Dominant faction are inherently similar." Harvey also explained: "The Dominator faction enslaves living beings, while the Necromancer faction creates and enslaves the Necromancer. The Necromancer Angel can draw parallels and improve and invent new ones. Dominating miracles is not a proper job, but it is very reasonable."

At this point, everyone also understands their next goal.

Earn 6000 points.

As well as not being able to owe Eveline anything.

.......

...

"And you actually dare to buy things from Eveline!" Igula slammed the table in anger: "Now you think it doesn't matter to use the shellfish you earned, but tomorrow you will think it doesn't matter to use some shellfish, and you will use your own the day after tomorrow. Your brain is mortgaged for cheap! This is how she breaks through your psychological defenses little by little until you let down your guard and become the slave of that rotten woman!"

Harvey raised his hand: "Igulla..."

"Harvey, can you be more careful?" Igura sighed: "Every dog ​​now knows that you love the Necromancer faction, and everyone can see that you will inherit the mantle of an angel in the future, and the angel you dug your grave is according to law. Lin's ancestor, do you think she will have the slightest affection for you? She just wants to use you to regain the inheritance of her ancestors. How can you still dare to buy her things? If I were you, I would just treat myself as a corpse. To that kind of vicious Women don’t listen or look or ask!”

Liz also raised her hand: "Aunt Bojin..."

"Don't talk too!" Igula stared at Liz: "You can't use the hand mirror, so you have to covet that little convenience? Didn't Ash teach you not to talk to strangers? People like Eveline specialize in eating children. The female ogre, why do you still dare to pay attention to her?"

Ash raised his hand with a complicated expression: "Male Veela, that..."

Igura became angrier as he spoke: "Yash, you are the most outrageous. You promised me to believe you in the morning, and now you feel that you can't stand the temptation. Let me guess, she is seducing you, right? You can't Hold it in for a few days or direct it yourself? You won’t be attracted to that dwarf Eveline, right? "

"Mr. Igulla Bogin."

Igura was startled for a moment, then slowly turned his head and saw the blue-haired girl standing behind him.

"I'm sorry, you damn dwarf wants to see you for something, please come out with me."

"...No problem." The fraudster quickly adjusted his expression and followed Evelin as if nothing happened. But before leaving, he turned around and glared at Ash and the others, as if asking them why they didn't remind them.

However, Ash and the others were also very unjust. They had tried to interrupt Igura several times, but the trickster's language miracle was released quickly and urgently. They could only watch as Igura critically attacked Efaline again and again.

"Do you think two people can fit into one coffin?" Harvey asked suddenly.

Ash thought for a while: "I think it's okay, Igura is very thin."

Liz blinked: "Hey (⊙△⊙)?"

Ash touched Liz's head: "Liz, there are only three of us having dinner today, no one else, is it clear?"

Liz: "Σ(°△ °|||) So you guys are assuming that Aunt Bojin is dead!?"
