Chapter 509 Necessary
Under Feige's watchful eye, Orianna laid out the "new life path", from the pile of sleepy people to the relative comfort of the lake. She used her divine powers to plant small flowers on the path, which were fragile little flowers with white petals and yellow stamens, each with only a single leaf, which would fall off at the slightest touch. She arranged sharp gravel near these flowers.
This road is not easy to walk, and it will puncture the soles of the feet, but if the predecessors can find a way to clean up the rubble, it will be much easier for the people behind. Feige saw the meaning of Oriana's arrangement, but he wouldn't tell it. Instead, he took off his shoes and walked barefoot along the road before putting them back on with a disappointed expression.
"It doesn't hurt at all," Feige shook his head, "and I'm going to be able to experience it." ”
"Of course. If this damage could penetrate your defenses, I would have killed you a long time ago, not been locked up here by you in reverse. Oriana pouted, then pushed Feiqi with both hands, and said, "Okay, Your Majesty the Emperor should hurry up, the people here will wake up soon." Then I'm going to pretend to be a goddess, and I don't want to show it to you, so that I don't laugh out loud. Let's go, let's go!"
Feige nodded, opened the teleportation and left, but he left the phantom snake Koktar behind and hid on the hill not far away to keep an eye on it. He saw that Orianna had straightened her clothes, then rubbed her face and transformed herself into a different shape. The delicate face had several willow leaf-shaped flame paints from the chin to the base of the ear, a stiff nose with a gill-like breathing slit, two snake-like pupils, and a third vertical eye at the center of the eyebrow. If it is according to the aesthetics of the Yongli Continent, this is called a monster. But in the second world, this may have hit people's imagination of gods.
Seven of the first group woke up, clutching their heads and hearts, and looking around blankly, unable to figure out what was happening to them. At this moment, Oriana entered from the sky, her whole body radiating a golden light, holy and majestic, beautiful, and her voice was full of charm. She congratulated them on completing their experience in the previous world of the creator god and thus being able to enter the "new world" and become the first immigrants here. They had to "step over the thorns" to qualify for life here. Because they were the first to wake up, they also had the task of waking up the others and informing them of the situation. For this, all seven of them were given a thin robe......
Feige almost burst out laughing at all this. The robe had no ability to keep warm at all, and at most it was only shielded from the wind and covered up the naked body. The way it really works is by using it as a mop to sweep the rubble from the ground and make the journey to the lake easier. Oriana wilted and did not say this, but instead gave people the feeling that "the robe is a status symbol". A robe will only be a robe, and a person who has a good enough brain and is able to think about others can truly turn it into a tool to gain respect and status.
After discussions, arguments, and a series of things, only five of the seven ended up at the lake, one died of his injuries on the way, and the other didn't go on the road at all, but went in a different direction. He led nine unconvinced people to cross the Sunset Mountains on his own, how could this be possible? The end of his anger was to be trapped in the barren mountains and starve to death one by one.
They didn't even have a chance to see the shadows of the ten magic towers.
Immigrants from the Second World who "came back from the dead" came to the lake, weeping and expressing their gratitude to the creator god and the "three-eyed goddess". There is fertile land, endless fresh water, and patches of fruit trees, where cattle, sheep, pigs, horses and chickens roam freely. They immediately moved to establish their original homes by restricting the freedom of other creatures.
Next, Orianna will appear as the "Goddess of Management in the New World". She is modeled after the Goddess of Truth and Thunder, who claims to have been commissioned by the Creator to ascend to govern and open up this new world. The affairs of the Yongli Continent have long been widely spread in the second world, but the Goddess of Truth Thunder has been promoted as a traitor to the creator, a negative image who enjoys the benefits but is ungrateful. But the model of the Goddess of Truth Thunder is more easily accepted by second-world immigrants, who are willing to believe that this time is part of a series of "actions to correct and re-prove themselves" by the Creator, in the same vein as "rebirth from destruction".
If you want a better life, you need to pray to the "Three-Eyed Goddess". Prayers to the Creator in the New World are not answered, because the Creator created this world with great consumption and is in the process of recovering for 10,000 years. Praying to him now only disturbs his rest, and the "wake-up" of the Creator is terrifying.
These are all new stories that people in the second world have not heard of, and there are many such stories, such as what is the final ending of the second world and the Yongli continent. Oriana has carefully prepared a series of stories, all of which do not include special details to avoid being deduced into problems. Immigrants from the second world will also be "burned" in batches, and this factor must be taken into account.
In short, the lakeside migrant village has gradually stabilized and will become a town and a city in the future. Feige opened a passage to the water elemental plane at the bottom of the crater lake, and a steady stream of water would be transported over, and Orianna only needed to plan the river with her divine powers, and more settlements would quickly disperse along the river. People in the second world have long been accustomed to the dual life of prayer and hard labor, and it is still the same, prayer and hard labor, except that the current hard labor is not for war and destruction, but for their own new life, and the motivation is much better than before.
The expressions on their faces that used to be patience and sorrow have now turned into soothing smiles. Although still living in lies, Feige's lies are more humane, so clever that they don't know where to go.
Orianna does a good job of fulfilling the task given to her by Feige, allowing the idea of a "new life" to get into the minds of second-world immigrants. But what really shakes the evil idea of "destruction and rebirth" is not the "new life" at all, but Feiqi's red lotus fire. He tortures souls with terrible spells, bringing them to the brink of reversibility. All Orianna did was give them a kick in the door.
So, Feige has to keep burning. Not only will this fire burn in the Second World, but its embers and heat will also come to the Yongli Continent. Since the first use of the Red Lotus Room, there has been a large area of mental problems in the conquest army, which has long been expected by Fei Qi, and the priests of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder are directly sent out for guidance. But how can this be channeled? The pastors are bigger than the other. As long as His Majesty the Emperor is still ordering the burning of prisoners, this matter can only be more serious.
However, Fei Qi was really addicted to "burning people", and from time to time he would burn a batch, and every time he ordered a large number of soldiers to watch the scene, during which he would occasionally let out pleasant, happy and hearty laughter, which made normal people feel furious when they heard it. At the same time, there were some former nobles and knights in the expeditionary army, who were accustomed to sycophants, who may have seen more perverted things, and not only were not surprised by the eccentricities of His Majesty, but also praised the eccentricities of His Majesty, and offered to serve the Emperor more wholeheartedly.
Fei Qi fulfilled their wishes and assigned them corresponding official positions to supervise the arrest of prisoners, trials and burnings, and institutionalized, processed, and standardized this evil and terrible cause. At this time, anyone in his right mind could no longer make excuses for His Majesty the Emperor to explain his "burning people" behavior with "hatred for the second world and the bloody meteor". This is already not revenge, this is completely tyrannical and a terrible tendency.
It's not for nothing that people come to give advice to Feiqi, but the effect is not. To these people, Fei Qi showed a very strong attitude of self-righteousness, and completely did not enter the water and fire. If you are annoyed by what you say, it is the officials who are beaten to the end, and the soldiers who are beaten with ten whips, and then find an opportunity to eliminate the expeditionary army, and throw them back to the Yongli Continent to let them go.
At the same time, the expeditionary army continued to recruit troops in the Yongli Continent, allowing more fresh blood to enter and experience the baptism of the red lotus in the broken world. Since Feige would eventually "burn" all the captives of the Second World, their property was deprived of them and became the spoils of the expeditionary army. Several knights, especially the war knights, had accumulated hundreds of years of wealth in order to destroy and rebirth, so that everyone in the expeditionary army had their pockets bulging, not only fully supporting the actions of the expeditionary army, but also having enough surplus to give the imperial treasury. For a time, joining the expeditionary army to earn money became the envy of everyone.
Feige fully considered the demands of the people and set up a short-term temporary job. You only need to complete three months of auxiliary work, such as construction, guarding, cooking and laundry, and other auxiliary work, and you can also get a certain share of the spoils.
They were destined to be arranged to see the burning people among the red lotus.
His Majesty's new quirks are worrying, and "the emperor is the devil" has regained a little living space. Fortunately, there are no problems with the internal management of the Revy Magic Empire, which is still cultivating new farmland, reaping bumper harvests, increasing road mileage, building more teleportation arrays, and cultivating mages. Therefore, Feige's penchant for burning people is only called a "quirk", and has not yet received more serious evaluations, such as "ugly human nature".
"Even the emperor is a human being, and he needs a way to vent his emotions. Some of Feige's ministers explained, "Don't those people in the Second World deserve to die? they launched an invasion, supported the Scarlet Meteor to kill our people, and did not surrender after being captured, and turned a deaf ear to the teachings of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder, and are simply incorrigible diehards." What if His Majesty the Emperor killed them? Not his own people in the Yongli Continent. Which side are you on?"
The person who was asked was speechless. Once the discussion stays at the level of "stance" without mentioning "degree", it is tantamount to being able to elevate indefinitely and always stand on the high ground to silence opposing voices. The Devil is familiar with this technique, and the knowledge that they can win as many times as they launch an evil offensive with "infinite good" is also inherited by Feige.
The one who really raised the alarm was Shani, the woman who knew Feige best. When she heard about it, she also persuaded Feige to stop burning people, but Feige explained that it was necessary, and that even this could not force the second worlders to surrender, so all that was left was to kill them all. Shani can't answer the question, but she can go to the second world to see what happens.
Under Tron's protection, Shani briefly visits the Second World, where she truly sees the scene of Feige burning people. The screams of pain were intimidating, but Feige's laughter was even more terrifying.
"You're not really laughing. When she returned, she said to Feige, "You laughed and made an expression, but I could tell it was fake. Almost all of your expressions are fake now, what are you hiding?"
"I'm doing what needs to be done. Anything I'm doing right now is necessary and has to be done. That's all Fitch could explain to Shani. "Of course I don't feel happy because I burn people, and I'm not a pervert. But I need a reason to keep this work going, otherwise I won't be able to conquer the second world. Don't go to the second world in the future, the danger over there hasn't been lifted, and I expect there to be a counterattack. If you must go, let me know in advance so I can protect you. ”
"If something happens to you, there's no point in protecting me. Shani frowned and placed her hand on Feiqi's shoulder. From her fingers and palms, she felt Feiqi's body tremble slightly, as if she was resisting. "Feiqi, do you remember that self-examining quiz question?"
"I remember it all, including the answer, that thing was useless. Feiqi's eyes didn't look at Xia Ni, he just put his hand in front of Xia Ni and flipped his wrist, causing the lightning ball that emitted divine energy fluctuations to jump in his palm. He said, "Look, the Goddess is still protecting me, and that's more effective than quiz questions. ”
"The Goddess is no longer there, now it's just the kingdom of God and those angels who are protecting you. ”
"That's enough. Feige put the lightning ball away, he already wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
"No, not enough. In your power, I believe you can fool the kingdom of God and the angels, who can't tell if you have a problem or not. ”
"Okay, that's enough, don't talk about it anymore! What do you want to prove? Do you want to prove that your Emperor Majesty is no longer the man he used to be, that he has become a devil or has gone mad? Go do something else, stop dwelling on it!"
"Finally, what you are saying now is what is in your heart, the expression is real, and I can see the sincerity. But ......" Xia Ni grabbed Feige's arm with both hands, and looked even more anxious. "But why are you doing that? The phrase 'it's necessary' doesn't tell the whole story. I'm in favor of you trying to conquer the Second World, but why do you want to do that? With your ability, with a wave of your hand, you can split the earth and fill up the sea?"
"I'm not that good. Even God is not that powerful, what is necessary is necessary. Feige regained his cold and serious expression and said, "If it's a trust issue, then you should stop now." ”
"It's not a matter of trust, I'm worried about you!" "Xia Ni squeezed Feiqi tightly with both hands, her snake hair came alive with anxious emotion, hundreds of pairs of small snake eyes stared at Feiqi, and the snake mouth hissed snake letters. "Feige, I'm afraid that what you need to do will ruin you. ”
"You don't have to worry about that, I know exactly what I'm going to do. The devil can't destroy me, and neither can that. ”
"But I don't know, and you're telling me to stop thinking about it, why is that? Don't be so confident, okay? The goddess of truth and thunder will fall, and you're not a god, you're in danger, and you need someone to worry about your safety!"
Feiqi shook his head, easily shook Xia Ni's hand away with his mana, and then said, "Your mental state is not good now, and you are even a little dangerous. I advise you to completely relax and stop thinking about it. ”
