459. This can easily cause misunderstandings

After talking to the shadow, Bai Yi pondered that the time was almost up, so he dragged back the souls of the three gentlemen who faced the endless void before, although it only allowed them to experience it for less than an hour in total, but after pulling it back, the three gentlemen who had just said that they would fight him to the end with their will and faith had become almost like dead fish.

Bai Yi poked with his consciousness, and there was a weak reaction from the other side: "Uncle Administrator... Spare me... I won't dare again..."

What is it like to leave Bai Yi's protection and face the Endless Void? It was probably like being pulled out of the warm bed and pressed into the ice water on a winter morning, no matter how strong and resolute a person would be unable to stand such torture, let alone these guys who had long been accustomed to Bai Yi's protection.

"It's a shame to be unproductive, it's only a moment to become this virtue, you didn't think that I was facing such a void all the time?" Bai Yi asked coldly.

"No wonder you're like this now, after thousands of years in that environment, people will always become, right?" The demon suddenly interjected, it had been listening to the conversation between Bai Yi and the shadow before, waiting for the opportunity to speak, but now that it had caught it, it followed up and asked, "Do you want to consider enslaving some demons to be thugs?" Although those low-level goods are stupid and weak, they are still quite good when used as cannon fodder. ”

"No need." Bai Yi sternly refused, and replied seriously: "Even if I want to start a war with the church, I haven't thought about completely exterminating them or slaughtering those low-level believers, the church still has the need for its existence, but it needs a more obedient and sensible church." ”

"Besides, even if I needed manpower, I wouldn't think about demons." He added.

More than half of the population of this world are believers, and if they really want to completely destroy the church, these people will bring a lot of trouble to the Voidwalkers, and killing them all is contrary to Bai Yi's purpose and style, so the ultimate goal of the war with the church is just to make them succumb and stop causing trouble for themselves.

The demon walker was bored, so he didn't say more, and the void fell silent, Bai Yi also shifted his attention to reality, counted the time in his heart, and felt that it was about the same, so he picked up the communication tablet and made a simple contact with some people.

So on this night when the nobles were supposed to enjoy the drunkards, balls, salons and other erosive pleasures, an important message was detonated among the nobles, they pushed away the women or men around them, said goodbye to the guests, and summoned their cronies and clansmen, and began to discuss the message that Bai Yi had just conveyed:

"This year, the university will decide in advance the number of sponsored students and expand the total number of students to 15."

It's such a simple message, and it still sounds like good news? But those aristocratic parents who wanted to send their incompetent children to the university did not feel relaxed at all, and the expressions on their faces even looked extremely solemn.

"Father, this is good news!" A noble young master who looked full of smuggling was quite excited, and said to his elderly father, "This time, I can always enter this fantastic school!" ”

His father didn't feel his son's joy, he just looked at him with helpless and angry eyes, and shook his head, he knew that this kid didn't care much about knowledge and power, and wanted to enter the university just to coat that glittering shell so that he could pretend to be forced in front of others.

Nowadays, the status of the university is so high that even the farmers in the fields know that only the best young people can enter that academic temple, and if they can enter and graduate successfully, it means that they are the top among their peers, and if they can also mix in a graduation commemorative necklace representing outstanding graduates, it is the young generation.

Even if it is in the name of a sponsored student, but being able to obtain this quota itself is the most powerful proof of the illustrious family background, which is enough to satisfy the desire of those aristocratic young people to pretend to be forced, after all, for these people who have no worries about food and clothing, changing the way to pretend to be forced can be regarded as one of the few ways to meet their spiritual needs.

And this aristocratic father also understands this, and he is not opposed to spending money to send his son to college, because judging from the feedback of several other old friends in the circle, they spent a lot of money to send their children in and successfully graduated, and they all thought that the money was well spent, and his descendants did have a rebirth in the university.

These words are not out of compliment to the university, but from the bottom of the heart, as for why those originally hopeless gentlemen have changed so much? In fact, it is also very easy to understand, the atmosphere and environment have a great impact on adolescent teenagers, in the college environment, in the face of those really powerful teachers and the dean of hope like a towering peak on his head, the family background has no meaning, and money and power are a joke, so as long as he is not really mentally retarded, he can learn what he should do, even if he doesn't learn it for the time being, like a big mouth or something, he can help him learn as soon as possible.

So the aristocratic father really wants to let his son go to the university to have a good reform, he tried it last year, and finally missed the opportunity by a narrow margin, and this year the number of places has increased, but he feels that the opportunity is even more slim - their family is the largest tea merchant in the empire, enough to be described as rich and rival the country, but the previous plane war destroyed most of his tea plantations, and the workers were killed and injured heavily, and now they are in a rather difficult period, although the family background is still solid, But it is uncertain whether it can recover again, and there are many strong competitors who have been staring at the lucrative business of tea.

What makes him feel even more headache is the sudden increase in the number of places this time, which is not necessarily a good thing, in the past, there were a total of 10 places, and many families would retreat from the difficulties, so there were not many competitors, and now after the increase, it made those slightly weaker families want to move, among them, there are many nouveau riche who are in the potion and medicine business, and they have made a fortune in a national disaster, and these guys will participate in it, which will disrupt the situation that was originally controlled by the top-level family.

You must know that there are not many families that can satisfy the terrible appetite of the dean of hope, everyone refrains from each other, and the quota is allocated, but the appetite on the other side suddenly becomes bigger again, which is what these nobles don't want to see.

"It seems that this time, the desire of the dean of hope is no longer limited to ordinary materials and money..."The noble father muttered in a low voice, he had received the news that Hope had killed a church pastor in public at a meeting, and now that he had played such a hand, his true thoughts were probably not simple.

If you consider the news that has just come from the court: His Majesty the Emperor has rejected the deal with the Church, it makes him think of many possibilities.

"Tell someone to get the boxes in the basement safe ready, and then get the best craftsmen to get a good rest." The aristocratic father said to his youngest son.

"Huh? Father, aren't there all famous paintings? As far as I can tell, hopefully the Dean doesn't seem interested in those. The youngest son asked a little sneeringly.

"I'm talking about the basement of the ancestral house." The elderly nobleman held his forehead helplessly.

"Uh... Actually... Do you want to use that? But didn't you say that artifact is our family's heirloom and must not be taken out? ”

"No matter how much a family heirloom is, it's just an object, and if you can use it to satisfy Dean Wang's appetite, it's already a very lucky thing." The elderly aristocrat explained helplessly, looking at his son's still confused expression, he sighed again, and continued: "If you can successfully enter the school, you can go to major in politics and economics." ”

This kind of dialogue between the landlord and the stupid son is staged in many families in the empire, and many nobles seem to be mistaken, thinking that Bai Yi intends to force them to stand between the church and the university, which is a difficult choice for many nobles, it stands to reason that they should ignore or even refuse it sternly, but the so-called power and money in their hands are meaningless in the face of the absolute power of the Voidwalker and the unreasonable style of the other party, if the church wins, it is fine, but if the Voidwalker wins... That's a big problem.

The point is, the emperor seems to have taken a stand.

So those nobles who were notified by Bai Yi all made the same choice, increasing the price and taking out the really important good things, but they refused to express their stance and stand in line.

As everyone knows, Bai Yi never thought of asking them to stand in line, he didn't even need the emperor, let alone these nobles? He just wanted to collect a lot of money, not to deal with the church, but to reserve funds for the follow-up research and development and promotion of those earth technologies.

He just didn't expect those nobles to love themselves so much and scare themselves, and when they heard some rumors, they were about to launch a series of brain-opening associations, and at the same time, the news was very well-informed, and even the emperor's attitude was known, but he would be completely wrong about Bai Yi's meaning.

At the same time that Bai Yi made this misleading arrangement, Vidnina, who had just been separated from him, did not listen to him and went back to rest, but ran to Miya's hut with full of anticipation and excitement, and after unceremoniously pushing the door in, the other girls were also there, everyone gathered around a messy table, tasting the gifts that Bai Yi brought back.

This otherworldly ritual appreciation meeting has lasted for three days, allowing these sisters, who usually rarely get together because of their own affairs, to relive the excitement of the same roof back then.
