Chapter 530: Advanced
"Oh, Saviara, you're here too. ”
Rorschach's greeting was calm and natural, like saying hello to a classmate he saw every day.
Whether he didn't have time to worry about her, or whether he knew that there was no point in calculating, Rorschach didn't know, he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to stabilize the crumbling hearts of people.
Man is an interesting animal.
Wisdom and long-term cluster life make it a social animal, a single individual seems normal, but as the number increases, they become wise or stupid, and the choices that concentrate the wisdom of most people often look stupid in hindsight.
And their guts, courage and the like, also follow others, if someone takes the lead, the reckless gods will do it, if someone takes the lead in deserting, the number of rout will increase geometrically, and finally the most courageous will follow the crowd to recede.
An increase in numbers will make the cowardly become brave and even arrogant, while a decrease in numbers will make uneasiness spread quickly and make people doubt their choices in their hearts.
"Bang bang. ”
Knowing that this would not work, Rorschach clapped his hands lightly, attracting everyone's attention.
"Welcome to Anthoreen, it seems that he has taught you a lesson. Well, now I know what I meant at the meeting, and it was useless to talk about any precautions before, but you will understand it after coming here for a while...... Words that don't die. ”
Rorschach's words, with a mocking smile, were clearly not meant to be comforting.
He knew that there was no point in comforting, and that once he said "you are safe" and "you will make good progress in the future", he quickly became frustrated again, and the credibility of his words and the sense of security of his apprentices were damaged.
"Don't cry and mourn, you've all signed a life and death certificate, and you all know what to expect when you come here. However, rookies, I still want to congratulate you, the first battle loss rate is 79%, which is the most dangerous and deadly, and the second time after that, the battle death rate is only 10%, at least, your survival rate is guaranteed. ”
Data is actually quite useful, especially for a lot of people who don't use their brains, some tendentious data enumeration, it gives them a very strange confidence, as long as the survival rate is more than 50%, they feel that they will not die, and they never want to think that it is the strong who really survive and not the lucky ones of statistics, that is, the strongest 1% is also the one who survives, that is, the 99% survival rate, damn it or will die.
"Cunning fellow. Honest Rorschach liar. ”
It's just that Saviara's muttering behind her was heard by Rorschach, who also glared at her by the way.
Yes, Rorschach is telling the truth, and he keeps citing real data, except that he "accidentally" confuses some concepts and "accidentally" forgets to say something.
For example, the first high mortality rate he mentioned was the battlefield mortality rate, and the recruits did die violently, which sounds like the apprentices are doing well.
But in fact, the apprentices are not on the battlefield at all, they are just stupid enough to cook in the wilderness, and they have not yet sent people on duty, and they are attacked by a group of lowest-danger beasts and caused attrition, which is not to mention qualified, they are simply stupid to laugh, stupid enough to be regarded as a model by other churches.
“...... It's better to explain, don't say it, lest you really become the laughing stock of other people's churches, and these children will really not be washed away for the rest of their lives. ”
Rorschach also "forgot" to explain by the way, the first time he said the battle loss rate, the wounded are also counted, and the second battlefield is 10% of the battle death rate, in fact, the two are not the same thing at all, to really say that the difference in the battle loss rate is really not big.
Is there a difference between going to the battlefield for the second time and the first battlefield? Yes, but for a rookie, it's not that big, and the damn ones will still die, probably able to evolve from not knowing how to die, to knowing whether they are attacked or dead.
Here are all mage apprentices, the most rational, but also the most believe in numbers, with "data dry goods" to stabilize people's hearts, and did not expect to have much effect, after all, there must be a lot of smart people, Rorschach directly arranged the next task.
“....... Let's go to Horn City, where is the headquarters of the Seymour people, you should know the Seymour people, it is what you call the Thunderhorn tribe......"
On the other hand, bad things can be good things
At the very least, the reduced number of people has greatly reduced the pressure on Rorschach's reception.
And looking at the crowd that kept whispering, Rorschach also knew that he couldn't be too laissez-faire, and if the number of people was reduced, his task might really be in vain.
"Ahem, from now on...... No, from the moment you leave the Mage Country, I am your mentor and leader, and what I say is the will of the Mage Country, and those who disobey are directly regarded as treason. Well, do you know what treason stands for? Heh, you will soon know, after all, there are so many 'traitors'. ”
Rorschach wasn't alarmist or intimidating the apprentices, he was telling the truth this time.
The country of mages is not a good hall, and every apprentice sent over consumes a huge amount of resources, and the whole plan is a grand strategy that consumes national strength.
If an apprentice fails or fails to practice or fails to do so, it can be regarded as a normal attrition in the experiment, a reasonable consumption that will be accepted by the cost calculation, and a "cost" to get the final result.
And if the apprentices themselves squandered this opportunity and chose to escape or retreat, then they would be seen as a meaningless consumption, and how could the Council of Truth that sent them to accept it.
Needless to say, the instigators can't run away from a traitorous country, the organizers behind the scenes are sure to be killed, Rorschach doesn't have to report, no, it's useless for him to report, the archmages of the country of mages are fools, they may know that the situation here is earlier than Rorschach, maybe mercenary groups such as the Witch Wargroup are already on the way....... Afterwards, the development of facts also proved Rorschach's guess.
The main culprit and the mastermind will definitely be held accountable, and they will not be affected, well, as long as they come up with the results as scheduled, they can't be explained.
The Council of Truth still has some patience, or rather, they have no other choice.
Rorschach kind of hoped that the organizers behind the scenes were elves, which would save him a lot of things, but thinking of those treacherous and cunning long ears, Rorschach also felt that it was unlikely that he would catch their tails.
And those apprentices who just follow others like this, a wanted is the most basic, I am afraid that even if they survive the dimensional battlefield and can successfully return to their homeland, the traces of betrayers and traitors in the archives will never be deleted.
Rorschach felt a little sympathetic to the unfortunate ones who were not strong-willed, and I was afraid that he would meet them again soon, and most of them probably didn't realize what they had done.
"The mage apprentice shouldn't be so stupid, isn't it some kind of large-scale illusion, hypnotic magic or something. ”
Rorschach muttered, and at the same time, the large mothership descending from the sky also made the apprentices cheer.
"Tsk, is that happy? Do you think it's safe....... Forget it, let them be happy, I don't want to pay too much attention, not many people are destined to survive, and if you care too much, you will be sad in the future, just like raising a small animal that is destined to die. Well, I'm still so kind, I should just care about how many of them advance. ”
Rorschach hadn't noticed that as he accidentally "muttered" louder and louder, the people next to him were getting farther and farther away.
It's just that someone took the initiative to come over.
"Rorschach, I know that someone has successfully advanced, and it should still be a rare special advancement. ”
Here, the only one who will be called by his name is naturally only Saviara, who Rorschach doesn't know how to face.
But at this time, Rorschach's eyes widened, was it so fast? Is it so useful to have his life in danger? Or should I arrange a cult frenzy?
Rorschach hurriedly asked, and Saviara's next answer made Rorschach's expression very subtle.
"Who's advanced?!Is it a rare class of the fourth order?"
"I ........"
"Oh, I know your merits, I'll take note of it, say, don't sell it at this time. ”
"I, I mean, I'm advanced. ”
Rorschach didn't know whether to cry or laugh, you're advanced? Oh, congratulations, the first level has advanced to the second level? or is it a special advancement? Is the second level useful? Are you really advanced to a special class? Could it be because Taicai made a mistake?
Rorschach didn't know if or how the report should be written.
