Chapter 387 Domination Faction



Let Bai Niu retreat to the early morning of May 20th.

When Efrain Beldette captured the people from the funeral home, she did not hand them over to the Red Hat, nor did she kill Ash and Harvey to "prevent the problem before it happens". Instead, she made a strange deal with Annan: Efrain was willing to protect their whereabouts and even provide them with comfortable accommodation, but required that they could only move around in her own manor and were not allowed to leave without permission.

And as long as the six people can obtain a total of 6,000 points, the transaction will be concluded and the funeral team will regain their freedom.

There are six of them in total, which means each of them needs to earn 1,000 beige points. According to Afilin, they will be provided with many positions. If they work eight hours a day, they can earn 60 beige points, and even 100 beige points if they work overtime.

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

The fairness of this transaction is naturally beyond doubt. With An Nan, the director of the firm, personally supervising it and all the details in place, it is absolutely impossible for Yilin to find loopholes to cheat them.

But the problem is that the deal itself is weird.

Yaxiu originally thought that Efallin wanted to threaten them with this and practice criminal law, but the jobs Efallin gave were all normal, cleaning the corridors, pruning gardens, hanging clothes... and even a position as a psychologist. Except that the workload was huge because the Belldette family was too big, there was no difficulty.

The only obvious trap was that eating here required the consumption of shell points, which would greatly slow down their accumulation of shell points. Therefore, the initial idea of ​​Ash and the others was to just work without consuming, and rely on Pancake's suitcase for food and drink.

They did not forget that Banji carried a lot of emergency dry food with him.

However, Ban Ji said no. He had a lot 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, nutritious food to satisfy their bodies.

And Annan also said: "If you only save money and don't spend it, it will be easy to fall into the trap of Efalene. What Beldette likes most is 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 you are offered something that you can't refuse, you will use the word "reward" to hypnotize yourself and spend a lot of money in exchange for your own happiness."

"The so-called currency is only valuable when it is circulated. If it is not used at all, it is just a number on the books and will be easily spent. Even if it is to understand the value of Shell Points and to make you cherish your income, you have to use Shell Points to buy food."

"I can only remind you one thing: at most, you can only use up the points you earn. You must not use 'Flower Shells', and you must not accept any gifts from Yifalin unless she says 'This is an unconditional gift to you.'"

"The flower shell and the gift are the most evil miracle of Beldette, the supreme masterpiece of the ruling faction."

When Annan unveiled the mystery of the ruling faction, Ash and the others realized the treacherous intentions of Yifalin.

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

Its name says it all - to dominate others and enslave everything.

It is said that during the war-torn period thousands of years ago, the ruling faction was once at its peak. Any powerful force must have a high-level ruling magician. Only the ruling magician can represent the comprehensive combat power of a force. Forces without ruling magicians are nothing but insignificant fish and shrimp.

The reason for this is that a Domination Master can fight one against ten thousand. This is not just a qualifier, it is the real meaning of "one against ten thousand": a Domination Master can enslave a legion of over ten thousand, and destroy all the classical legions that rely on shouting, communication and walking as if they were their own arms.

Even magicians of the same level cannot match the ruling magicians who have a well-organized army. The reputations of "strategic magician" and "army magician" make the ruling faction look down on other magic factions. There was even a period of time when people said that "the end of magic is ruling".

However, the biggest enemy of the magic faction is the development of the times, the progress of magic, and the change of people's minds.

After the unification of the Yisu royal family, the demand for war was suppressed to the limit, and the disadvantages of the dominant faction were instantly magnified to the extreme: the dominant magicians often dominated a certain kind of fighting beast, such as wolves, cats, mice, pigs, etc. When there was a war, they could use war to support war or feed these beasts, but without war, there would be no reason to continue to maintain the private property of the dominant magicians.

A Domination Master without a Legion is just a low-profile Psion. The Domination Master has also tried to reverse the version, such as letting the Legion produce mining, but no matter how clever the beast is, it can never compare to the most clumsy orc.

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

Not all military facilities can be converted to civilian operations.

This cannot even be called a decline, after all, decline is a slow and gradual process, and the dominant faction will simply die on the spot to celebrate peace on the day of the gospel unification.

According to the course of history, perhaps one day when the gospel falls into war again, or when an overall war breaks out between kingdoms, the ruling faction will be dug out from the pile of history by magicians and updated to a more brilliant and crueler color.

Royal power is not eternal, only interests are eternal.

But the Beldett family successfully stopped the wheel of history and became the only powerful anti-version family in the entire Gospel - they invented a miracle that could control intelligent creatures.

The reason why the dominant faction only enslaves wild beasts and not intelligent creatures - even orcs, ogres, and goblins, who are known as the "shit, piss and fart" of intelligent creatures - is because intelligent creatures have civilization and can communicate, which means they can accumulate knowledge and enhance their wisdom.

Wisdom is not a fixed attribute. For example, a college-educated orc is undoubtedly more intelligent than a human who grew up in the jungle with wild beasts. As long as you keep absorbing new knowledge, forming your own worldview, and learning to think, your wisdom will gradually increase.

The natural enemy of the dominant faction is wisdom.

The so-called domination is to "falsely regard one's own heart as the heart of all", to make one's own orders the fate of the enslaved creatures, and to make one's own will the only thing for the enslaved creatures.

Why are wild beasts easy to dominate? Because they lack wisdom. Even if they resist, they don’t know why, how, or what to do after they resist. The process of domination is equivalent to telling them, “If you listen to me, I will let you eat, drink, and sleep warmly.” Wild beasts think this is not bad, so they are enslaved.

Intelligent creatures will think, will desire more, will ask questions like "Can I not work but just eat?", "I don't want to go", "Is it possible that you are my slave"... One or two is okay, but once the number is in the tens of thousands, it becomes thousands of times more difficult for the magician to control them, and they cannot be controlled at all.

A magician who can enslave an army of beasts can only control ten intelligent creatures at most, and the beasts will hardly rebel, but there is a high probability that intelligent creatures will backstab the magician out of dissatisfaction.

And how many intelligent creatures does Beldat control?

According to statistics, the permanent population of Memphis in 1687 was 7.958 million - of course, there were more people than that, because unlike Vanwila, the Beldates' industries were spread all over the Gospel, and the total number of people they controlled was probably more than tens of millions.

The reason why Beldette was able to accomplish such a terrifying feat was because they combined the Domination Faction with the Ritual Faction to leverage the power of the Void Realm.

Beldette is not pursuing 100% control over other creatures, and Efaleen is not large enough to control the souls of tens of millions of people. Instead, they use a certain degree of mutually beneficial contract - 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, and the dominated person does not feel that there is a person living in his brain - Beldate has no time to explore the turbulent waves in a mortal's heart - in fact, according to surveys, the people of Mengfera think that this is a "profitable deal", "they are getting a good deal", and "Beldate is losing money".

So did Belldette really lose money?

According to statistics, Monferra has the highest average working hours per capita, the lowest aging rate, the highest consumption level, and all citizens are in debt.

"Pre-consumption entertainment", "high-intensity work", "marriage and childbirth", these almost incompatible words are the common characteristics of every Mengfeila person. In addition to getting married and having children, each of them can also work intensively every day. Once they have a holiday, they will continue to spend and even overdraw their loan limit, and then return to high-intensity work.

Once they reach the age of fifty and their body functions decline overall, the Monfera people will suddenly have ideas like "reliving the dream of adventure", "daring to challenge life", "the gospel is so great, I want to go and see it", and they will automatically give up their jobs, and after spending all their money, they will go to the bottom of the abyss, the mountains, the forbidden areas of life and other places to lose their lives. Therefore, the population of Monfera has always been very healthy. The streets are full of young and middle-aged people, and you can hardly see an old man. They are always full of vigor and vitality.

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

Every Monferra person thinks that he is normal and lives a happy and fulfilling life, and this is what is terrifying about Beldette.

Through rituals, Belldette transformed the thinking abilities of millions of people into his own mental computing power, and then along the threads of thought, he in turn subtly influenced every dominated person - to put it simply, Belldette was using the mental resources given by the Monferrans to dominate the Monferrans, so even if Efalin was only a two-winged magician, he could easily control the mental authority of millions of people.

Berdette did not try to control the people by force, or issue such irresistible orders as "work until you die", "give me all the money", or "commit suicide if your efficiency drops and let the younger ones take over". Instead, he used packaged desserts such as "pursue your dreams", "reward yourself", and "you will get old if you don't take risks" to subtly transform the Monferrans into the producers and consumers he needed.

The fact that the Belldette Group has been able to gain a foothold in Monfera for so many years, and even completely took over Monfera's second-tier cities that were a bonus of the times, is enough to prove that they have successfully transformed the dominant faction into a new version that is adapted to civilized society.

The medium that Beldette uses to control 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 share.

It is unknown how the Monferra people dealt with it in the past, but now almost all Monferra people regard the "Huabei loan" as their own wallet and squander it endlessly when they are young.

If they collectively fail to repay the loans, Beldate may face a capital chain crisis. However, what is interesting is that once the Monferra people reach adulthood, they will work hard to repay the loans and continue to borrow money for consumption. The word "deadbeat" has almost never appeared in the Monferra people's dictionary.

"It's more of a money faction than a ruling faction," An Nan concluded. "So you understand why Yifalin asked us to deposit 6,000 shell points, right? She just gave you a way to spend money in order to seduce you to use flower shells, and then she can 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 that it's given to you unconditionally, it's still her property. If you use it for a minute or a second, it's equivalent to encroaching on her interests. She can use it to make you pay back for your thinking ability."

Igula had a question: "Such a useful money faction, why didn't Azula and other places in Vanmurra follow up, and only Beldette used it?"

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

The fundamental reason why Belldette can control tens of millions of people is that every loan from their consortium is bound to a "money in exchange for thinking ability" contract. The real executor is not Yifalin, nor her ancestors, but the virtual world.

Only the virtual world can support this kind of high-frequency contract volume that needs to happen tens of millions of times every day. In a sense, Belldette's backstage is actually the virtual world.

Even if other families want to emulate Belldette, without the Void Realm, they cannot even control a few dozen people, let alone open a small or medium-sized enterprise.

In the past, An Nan and others did not understand how Belldette got to the top of the Void Realm. It was not until the "Family List" came out that everyone understood - although the Undead Angel did not leave any inheritance to the family, it left a golden key for future generations to enslave all living beings.

"The Undead Faction and the Domination Faction have similarities." Harvey also explained: "The Domination Faction enslaves the living, while the Undead Faction creates and enslaves the dead. The Undead Angels can draw inferences from other things and improve and invent new miracles of domination. Although it is not their job, it is very reasonable."

At this point, everyone understood their next goal.

Earn 6000 points.

And you can't owe Efaline anything.

"And you actually dared to buy things from Efaleen!" Igula slammed the table in anger. "Now you think it's okay to use the money you earn, tomorrow you will think it's okay to use a little money, and the day after tomorrow you will mortgage your brain cheaply! This is how she breaks through your psychological defenses little by little, until you let down your guard and become a slave to that rotten glue woman!"

Xavi raised his hand: "Igula..."

"Harvey, can you please be more careful?" Igula sighed. "Now even a dog knows that you love the Undead faction. Everyone can see that you will inherit the mantle of angels in the future. The angel who dug your grave is none other than the ancestor of Efrin. Do you think she will have any good feelings towards you? She just wants to use you to take back the inheritance of her ancestors. How dare you buy her things? If I were you, I would just treat myself as a corpse and not listen, see or ask questions about that vicious woman!"

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

"Don't talk!" Igula stared at Liz. "Can't you use the hand mirror? Do you have to covet that little convenience? Didn't Ash teach you not to talk to strangers? Why do you dare to talk to Farin, a female ogre who specializes in eating children?"

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

Igula became angrier and angrier as he spoke: "Yash, you are the most outrageous. You swore to me to trust you this morning, but now you feel like you can't stand it. Let me guess, is she seducing you? Can't you hold it in for a few days or do it yourself? You are not attracted to that dwarf, Afaleen, are you?"

"Mr. Igola Bogin."

Igula was slightly startled, then slowly turned his head and saw the blue-haired girl standing behind him.

"Sorry, I need to talk to you about something. Please come with me."

"...No problem." The trickster quickly adjusted his expression and followed Efaleen away as if nothing had happened. But before leaving, he turned around and glared at Ash and the others, as if questioning why they didn't remind him.

But Ash and the others felt very wronged. They had tried to interrupt Igula several times, but the trickster's language miracle was released quickly and urgently, so they could only watch Igula critically attack Efrine again and again.

"Do you think there's room for two people in one coffin?" Harvey suddenly asked.

Ash thought for a moment and said, "I think it's okay. Igula is very thin."

Liz blinked: "Eh (⊙△⊙)?"

Ash patted Liz's head and said, "Liz, there are only three of us having dinner today. No one else. Is that clear?"

Liz: "Σ(°△ °|||) So you guys assume Aunt Borgin is dead!?"
