Starting From Zero

Chapter 247 Return

This smart guy is indeed very talented. He guessed our purpose after just a brief hint. However, there are still many things that need to be dealt with before we can officially throw him out to carry out the mission. The first is that this guy's professional level must be higher.

Although this guy is already very good at flattering others, he is still following a wild path. Without formal guidance, his development will be limited. However, we don’t seem to have any ready-made teaching materials in this area, so we can only ask the God of War to compile one temporarily. I'll make do with it. Anyway, the God of War has a spy training manual, and it should be able to be used by this guy with a slight modification.

In addition to his business ability, this guy's personal strength also needs to be improved, so we decided to reward him with a super sweet date, that is, let him participate in the upcoming high-level god teaching action together with other gods who have joined our Chaos and Order God Clan.

After we talked to this guy, we asked him to go to the Protoss station in our guild to learn some basic knowledge. It never hurts to know more. After sending him away, we returned to the room, but it seemed that Hera's venting was not over yet. When we entered the room, we saw those guys who had a grudge against Hera rolling around on the floor, but we didn't see Hera do anything, but we think that the tragic situation of these guys is probably inseparable from Hera. of.

"Well, if your mood is a little better, can we leave them aside for a while and then continue the torture?" Looking at Hera who was looking at the guys rolling on the ground with excitement and secretly feeling proud, I Couldn't help but step forward and wake up.

Hera reacted quickly when she heard my words. After saying a few harsh words, she asked her followers to drag them all out. According to Hera's request, these guys will be left in the Olympus Protoss, not as combatants, of course, but as toys. Yes, it was a toy, a prop used by Hera to vent her dissatisfaction when she was in a bad mood. Although I don't know how Hera will torture them, I think it would be better if they find an opportunity to commit suicide as soon as possible.

After the guys were dragged away, we moved to another room not far away, where twenty-one die-hards who refused to surrender were held. Although they became prisoners, they have been trying to resist until now. They were all still in shackles, and they had no reaction to Hera's speech before, obviously unwilling to be Hera's subordinates.

Even though we were not here, this group of people were kept quiet in a sealed room. Although they would discuss the solution with each other, they did not act too aggressively. However, as soon as we entered the room, the guys in the room immediately became excited. stand up.

After the two mobile angels guarding the door opened the door for me, I just stepped in and saw a guy rushing towards me, but his arms were fixed behind his back, and although his feet could move, they were held by an incomplete stick. It's fixed, so although it can move, the posture is very strange and the speed can't be increased.

Seeing the guy charging towards me with an awkward posture, I had no intention of evading at all. I just directly raised the eternity in my hand, and then instantly turned into a short stick and pressed it against the guy's chest to immobilize him. There.

"If you have anything to say, just stand there and say it. I'm not used to people getting too close to me, especially men."

"you……"

As soon as the guy opened his mouth, I suddenly lifted Eternity up again, and ended up putting the end of the stick directly into his mouth, blocking his next words.

"Let me explain first, I don't want to hear meaningless abuse, because I am here to solve your problems, not to quarrel with you. If you are sure that you want to die, then stand separately. If you want to die, come to this wall Stand in a row and I will help you solve it one by one right away. If you don’t want to die, please stay quiet and let us deal with everyone’s problems first.”

After I finished speaking, I immediately took my breath away. Although the guy's mouth could move, he didn't say anything more. He looked at the wall I just mentioned, and then looked back at the other people. Someone in the crowd behind him shook his head slightly, but I still saw it. The guy I was holding back in front saw him shaking his head and stepped back without saying a word. However, someone in the team actually walked to the wall, and not one or two, but five people.

These five guys all walked to the wall and stood there with a look of death on their faces, and then actually looked at me with sarcastic and contemptuous eyes, as if they were provoking me.

I don't really care about the reaction of these five guys. It's just a bit irritating, which is normal.

"Very good, there are indeed many brave guys in the Olympus Protoss." After hearing my words, the five guys immediately raised their chins high, like proud roosters. I walked up to them with their proud eyes, and Hera and the others behind me also entered the room at this time. I stood in front of the first of these five people, bowed to him solemnly, and then said seriously: "You are an admirable enemy. Please go away."

When I said that he was an admirable enemy and bowed, the guy was looking at his other companions with an expression of "I have won." However, when he heard the three words "Please go away", his expression suddenly changed. But before he could make any other reaction, I had already walked to the companion beside him, and his own consciousness also It has been frozen in that moment. Different from the dead guy, the people around me clearly saw me shaking like lightning, and then the next second, there were three more holes in the middle of the guy's eyebrows, throat, and heart, but the holes seemed to be It was scorched. Although it passed through the body, no blood flowed out. However, the vital points of the body were hit, and even though the divine power was sealed, I was attacked by the cutting law. Of course, this guy died without any reaction. , and it was a relatively complete one. Even the soul was sucked out and crushed into soul energy, which was then absorbed by my armor.

While the people around me were still stunned, I was already bowing to the second person and said the same thing. The second person immediately reacted and turned his head back to shout something, but I His movements were too fast, and he was killed by me before he could react. The wound was exactly the same as the one before.

The three people behind me finally came to their senses. They huffed and retreated away from me into the crowd. I turned around to look at these people in surprise, and then asked, "Huh? Why are you running away? Didn't you agree to die?"

Hearing what I said in a tone that sounded like I was telling a kid, "Didn't we agree to go play together?", the guys' whole bodies trembled. Now the look in their eyes when they looked at me was no longer full of contempt and disdain at the beginning, but full of fear and surprise. If I could add subtitles to their thoughts, I think when they looked at me before, the subtitles must have been "So what if this idiot can fight? Aren't you being tricked by us?" But now, their thoughts are once again With subtitles, I think it should be: "You will die! You will die! This guy is a pervert! If you offend him, you will definitely die!"

Looking at the three guys who were trembling with fear, I didn't chase after them. Instead, I put away eternity and said, "Have you given up on death? That's okay. It's your choice anyway. I I respect your choice, and of course if you can die, I will respect you even more, just like I respect those two warriors."

After hearing my words, those guys were so weak that they almost sat on the ground. I believe many people here must be thinking: "You pervert, we don't want to be respected by you!"

Looking at the expressions of those guys who were almost scared out of their minds by me, I felt that the threat was enough, so I started to get down to business. "Since you don't want to die, let's solve your problem. First of all, I want to make it clear that because you were defeated, you are now a prisoner. You must recognize the situation clearly, so don't provoke me, because I He is your captor. You can hate me, but don't provoke me, because then I will be angry, and I will kill you when I am angry." When I said this, I deliberately glanced at the two corpses over there, and then hurriedly waved my hands. Said: "Oh no, I don't mean like them. They are all warriors who dare to face death, so I gave them peace without pain. If you anger me, I will kill you in a much more miserable way than this. .Really, trust me on that.”

Although what I said sounded like a child who was eager to prove what he said, the guys across the street agreed that what I said was the truth, because they already regarded me as a devil among devils, and it is not normal for a devil to torture others. ?

Seeing that they were all quiet and silent, I continued: "Since you don't object, then we will continue. Since you are captured now, we need to deal with the prisoners."

"What are you going to do with us?" one of the guys asked nervously.

"Please don't be anxious, wasn't that what I was about to say?" After appeasing the guy, I continued: "First of all, Hera, your former queen, now inherits the Olympus Protoss. The core of divine power, which means that she will be the God King of Olympus in the future. Our method for dealing with you prisoners is very simple. There are three choices in total. We don’t want to force you to follow which one, so you can choose for yourself. One of the three. The first is that you rejoin the Olympus Protoss. From now on, you will be a member of the new Olympus Protoss. Since your strength is pretty good, Hera promises to give you more power than before. A higher status, more subordinates, and a larger quota of the power of faith.”

"Can we listen to the other two before we make a decision?"

"Of course." I continued: "The second option is that you can join our Frost Rose Alliance's patron saint clan, which is the chaos and order god clan. However, because our chaos and order god clan is very strict, So even if you want to join, you still have to pass the exam. If you don’t pass the exam, you still won’t be able to get in. And even if you pass, your status will be very low. After all, you are transformed from captives, so it is impossible to start with Let you be in a high position. All we can do is accept you. As for the position, you have to fight for it yourself. If you have joined our Chaos and Order God Clan, you are one of us. As long as you perform well, your value will naturally increase. .”

"What about the last option?"

"The last option is for you to leave on your own. I will help you get out the soul imprint that exists in the core of the divine power of the Olympus Protoss, so that you will become completely free, but you must sign a signature before leaving. Agreement, you are not allowed to participate in any actions that are hostile to us in the future, nor can you join an organization that is hostile to us. Unless you are unaware of it, as long as you know that an organization wants to be detrimental to us, you must leave this organization."

"You mean you can let us go?" one of the guys asked in disbelief.

I nodded and looked at him and asked, "Is there anything strange about this?"

"No, but that..." Although he didn't finish his sentence, the look in his eyes towards the wall showed that he was referring to the two guys who were killed.

I knew from the look in his eyes that he was asking about those two guys, so I asked, "What happened to them?"

"If you want to let us go, why do you want to kill them?"

I pretended to be surprised and asked, "Ah? When did I want to kill them? Didn't they ask for death themselves? I just asked to help kill them, right? Didn't I just leave you alone without asking?"

At that moment, these guys suddenly felt that they were so cold, and looked at the two corpses and sighed for a while. This death was not worth it. They were just pretending to be dead!

"Okay, I have mentioned all three plans. You can choose one. Those who want to join the Olympus Protoss should go to Hera to report, and those who want to join us should go to Vina. Oh, by the way. , haven’t introduced you yet, this is Wei Na, the main god of the Chaos and Order Protoss. If you want to join us, please sign up with her, and she will help you transfer the soul mark. As for those who want to leave, you can leave now ”

"You really let us go?" one of the guys asked. I remember he was the guy who winked at the first guy who rushed out.

I just nodded to his question and then asked: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, separate as soon as possible. After handling your matters, we still have a lot to do."

Although those guys still didn't believe it, some guys who just wanted to show off their high status didn't have so many worries and took action directly.

There are a total of twenty-one people in this group. Two of them just asked me to kill them, so now there are still nineteen people left. Twelve of them chose to join the New Olympus Protoss and follow Heragan, while two of the remaining seven went to Vina and asked to join the Chaos and Order Protoss. In the end, five people were left standing He neither came to Hera's side nor to our side, nor did he leave. Instead, he just stood there looking at a loss.

Due to the need to handle the transfer of the divine soul mark, Vina left with Hera after accepting the participants. Hera is not yet able to manipulate the core of divine power very well, so Vina still needs guidance. The remaining group became even more uneasy after they left, but I didn't say anything to them. I just said when I was leaving: "If you want to leave, please leave as soon as possible. I only gave you one hour of temporary passage." Permission is granted. If the time is exceeded, you will be identified as intruders by the city defense system. If you are killed inexplicably then, don’t blame me for not waking you up."

"Wait a minute, President Ziri." A guy chased out and asked, "Can we really leave?"

"Do I need to lie to you? I just want to kill you if I don't want to let you go. I go to all the trouble to trick you into leaving and then hunt you down. Am I eating too much to hold on?"

The guys who were scolded by me not only didn't get angry, but actually laughed happily, because they now figured it out. Although it often happens that prisons deliberately leave loopholes to trick prisoners into leaving, and then falsely accuse prisoners of escaping and then killing them, there is absolutely no need for us to do this, right? That kind of thing is done secretly by the prison administrators, and I am the supreme leader here. Do I need to be secretly? If I want to kill someone, I can just kill them directly like before. Why bother to act with them?

As soon as they figured out the key, these guys immediately disappeared like a group of wild dogs on the loose. I smiled and shook my head, then turned towards the command center.

In fact, there is a purpose in releasing these people, but it is really not a conspiracy to them. We should actually release these people for the benefit of those Olympus Protoss who have joined. Whether they are the original Olympus gods who joined our Chaos and Order Protoss or the new Olympus Protoss who joined Hera, they will always have some knots in their hearts. It's okay for Hades and the others. After all, they were the first to join, and they were the ones who contacted us proactively, so they were able to change their minds. But things like Poseidon and some other gods are different. Although they joined us voluntarily, Zeus made it impossible for the Olympus Protoss to survive, so they were forced to join us. Although they can confirm this from their rational thinking, there is no problem, but if no one is released, their emotional thinking will recognize that they are being forced, and they will die if they don't join. You can't explain this kind of concept, but it will inevitably arise, and as long as this kind of thinking exists, they will never be able to truly integrate into this large group.

For example, Hera's New Olympus Protoss is okay. Anyway, the original Olympus Protoss has no cohesion, and now it has become a puppet theocracy, so it is not a big problem whether there is cohesion or something. Let's all eat together and so on. Death would be fine, it wouldn't be a big deal as long as Hera didn't force those guys to survive like she did on Thursday. But, we are different from Hera. The Gods of Chaos and Order have always been a solid collective. Just like the Frost Rose Alliance's collective cohesion and centripetal force have always been unparalleled, our Gods of Chaos and Order must also be such an organization, so we cannot allow these new Olins to join us. The Pith Clan has no sense of belonging.

Freeing the captives gives them a sense of belonging. When they see someone really leaving and living a good life without being retaliated against, they will understand that they can actually leave at any time, but then their rational thinking will tell them that they have a bright future if they stay, but they have no future if they leave. Bright. When the time comes, they will still stay, which means they have come full circle and returned to the starting point, but at this time their psychology will undergo earth-shaking changes. They will change from being enslaved to being part of this organization. This change in thinking will immediately bring about action and a series of behavioral changes, and these changes will basically be positive and positive. of.

The release of a few prisoners is of no importance to us. Even if all twenty-one people are released, so what? Do we lack these twenty-one gods? Obviously not. However, exchanging them for internal stability and unity is a great deal. Besides, if all the gods in a region are members of a certain local protoss force, and there are no wandering protoss from outside, this is actually a very bad thing. Just like a country needs poor people, a protoss also needs wandering protoss.

It's not a good thing to think that everyone will become a millionaire. If you were as rich as Bill Gates, would you get up at four or five o'clock every morning to sweep the streets? Will you endure the pungent stench and go into the sewer to clear the city's sewage? Will you brave the wind and rain, no matter the scorching sun, scorching heat, or frost and snow, insist on delivering express delivery? Obviously you won't, because you are a rich man, and of course you don't want to do such dirty work. But someone has to do this kind of work, and if you don’t want to do it, someone else will do it. Therefore, the most ideal state of a country is to have a few millionaires who are as rich as the country, a large middle class with strong consumption power, and a number that is slightly lower than the middle class. of low-income people. Only by controlling the proportions of the three can we ensure the healthy and stable development of the country. We can't have too many poor people, but we can't have none at all.

In the same way, the gods need to absorb gods to enrich themselves, but for some reasons, the wandering gods still have value. At least these guys have established the most basic communication between the gods. After all, the regional protoss are restricted by the system in their scope of activities, but the wandering protoss can move around, so these guys are simply natural traffickers for the protoss, specifically responsible for establishing a communication bridge between the protoss and the protoss.

The reason why I was able to become a communication bridge between the world's protoss and become a middleman among the protoss, in my opinion, actually reflects the fact that the current number of wandering protoss is too low. There is always communication between the Protoss and the Protoss, but without the Wandering Protoss, sending envoys between two different Protoss is simply more difficult than going abroad in the first few years of the founding of our country. All kinds of approvals and other things can torment you to death. It saves trouble and speeds up the communication process, so I can become an arbiter and communication platform on an equal footing with them as a creature from the lower world that the gods don't care about. This is all caused by the small number of wandering gods.

Precisely because I am the middleman of the Gods, I actually see this matter more thoroughly than the Gods. After all, they are insiders, and I am an outsider, so I can see things that they cannot. As a local protoss, the best way to expand their own strength is to increase the number of gods, so they desperately try to convert the wandering protoss into powerful gods. The result is that the number of wandering protoss is scarce, and let them keep those who are not strong. The useless gods are then released to transform the wandering protoss. On the one hand, they themselves are not willing to do so, and secondly, those gods who have become the gods of the local protoss certainly do not want to live a wandering life anymore. Therefore, even if the protoss themselves could understand this process, it would probably be very difficult to implement it. On the contrary, it is very easy for us to do it. After all, it is not our flesh that is being cut, so we don’t feel any pain.

After letting the five gods go, I also arrived at the command center of the God of War, but I still couldn't take any time off. I first learned about the construction situation on Mount Olympus, and after confirming that all the building materials were in place, I checked again. After checking the records of people who should not be taken away, I checked and confirmed that all the people who should not be taken away have left Essinger Mobile Fortress. Finally, I notified various unrelated personnel in the guild to return to Essinger Mobile Fortress.

It took nearly two hours to finish all this mess. The main reason was that the evacuation was a bit slow. There were many things that had to be handed over to the people who stayed behind, and it might not be easy for us to come here in a short time. , so I really feel uneasy if I don’t arrange everything in advance. Of course, this is only temporary. This time Essinger Mobile Fortress had left behind construction workers and building materials before leaving. Not only would they help Hera rebuild Mount Olympus, but they would also build a city belonging to the guild on Mount Olympus. Each city will be equipped with a transnational teleportation array, so it will be very simple for us to come to Greece in the future. Of course, all this must wait until the transnational teleportation array is completed. And now our people are busy cleaning up the post-war ruins, so the construction progress is a bit slow. This teleportation array will take at least three to five days to be completed. Certainly.

Finally, all the engineering staff explained their work clearly, and then Hera, who came after hearing the news, took her men to say goodbye to us. In Hera's complicated eyes, Essinger Mobile Fortress finally started again and moved from the top of Mount Olympus to start flying eastward. This time we plan to just drive Essinger Mobile Fortress back. The energy consumed by space jumping is too scary, and Rose is reluctant to spend money. Besides, there is no urgent matter that needs Essinger Mobile Fortress to rush back. There are transnational teleportation arrays for personnel and other things. You can go back anytime you want. There is no need to follow Essinger Mobile. The fortress is moving slowly, so it is better to let the city drive back by itself. On the one hand, it saves money, and on the other hand, it can show off its muscles along the way and scare the children. At least it can increase the presence of our Frost Rose Alliance.
