Hearing Jill's words, Xueshi's already wide-eyed eyes widened again.

"It's just two bandit groups from Xiongshan City, what can they do. Even though they were the two most powerful gangs, they relied on the bloodlines of orcs and barbarians, and they were not able to resist the nobles of Xiongshan City. ”

Snow Stone made no secret of the contempt in his words, sneering at the two bandits, disdainful of their way of surviving as aristocrat lackeys, and disdain for the bandits themselves.

"Jill, you may not know, Grizzly Bear and Lone Wolf are two hostile bandit groups on the surface, but they are all lackeys of the nobility in nature, Grizzly Bear and Lone Wolf rely on the dual bloodline advantage of orcs and barbarians to stand out, which is why they were favored by the nobles of Xiongshan City, and then became the largest bandit gang in the vicinity."

"You're right, but they're not necessarily useless."

No one is inherently useless.

Through her own experience, Jill understands the meaning of this sentence somewhat.

Even ordinary people, with the proper use of methods, can overthrow the rule of the kingdom.

Even in the face of dragons, as long as they seize the opportunity, they can be kept in the empire.

Different people stand at different heights, and the scenery they see is naturally different.

Some people think that the dragon is too strong to resist, while others are already thinking about how to maximize the benefits after successfully slaying the dragon.

The same goes for bandits.

They are majestic in ordinary people, as if they will not be caught if they commit crimes, and they look very powerful, but in the eyes of people with higher vision, these are just local chickens and dogs, just lackeys driven by the aristocracy at will.

In the eyes of the aristocracy, who are richer and more powerful than before, the bandit group is no longer a collaborator, but a chess piece that can be discarded and replaced at any time, and if it is not obedient, it will be changed, and there is no need to care.

But for Jill, these people are the cornerstone of the chaos in Xiongshan City.

Not only bandits like Grizzly Bear and Lone Wolf, but also other people who live at the bottom of Xiongshan City, those who have become wanderers for different reasons, and even those beggars who will die at any time.

These people are the cornerstones that can make Xiongshan Castle chaotic.

“……。” Xueshi suddenly felt that he had lived in vain for more than a hundred years, and his brain couldn't keep up with Jill's thinking.

Seeing Xueshi's depressed expression of confusion and not knowing how to ask, Jill couldn't help but smile and said: "People's minds are complex and changeable, bullying the weak and fearing hard is rooted in the hearts of most people, fear can make people become selfish, but also bring loyalty." ”

Jill repeats the story again, but this time it's a little different.

The reason why the perpetrator broke into his home and did not dare to resist was because the perpetrator was related to the evil mercenary gang, and he did not commit a crime sufficient to sentence, and as a good citizen, he was afraid that the offender would retaliate afterwards, so the victim did not dare to recruit guards.

This is the effect of fear, and it is the basis of the perpetrator.

Choosing to surrender because of fear, the victim will silently make what he thinks is a reasonable choice when the perpetrator threatens to beat his family.

Selfishness and fear make the victim choose to commit violence against his unarmed family members.

Because of fear, all the victims did not dare to resist the perpetrators, and could only vent their resentment and hatred to the family members who seemed to be better bullied, until everyone thought so, and the originally close family members turned against each other.

Even if he hates the offender in his heart, the victim has to hand over all his family savings because of the fear of being punished and the fear of being beaten by the offender's family, hoping to get the offender's mercy.

This is the effect of fear, and fear is the source.

Because of fear, so selfish.

Because of fear, so pay loyalty.

"If there is no fear, even if he is a good citizen, he will never politely invite him to sit down in the face of someone who has broken into his home, and there will be no end result of being threatened and beating his family and turning into a turn against him."

Listening to Jill repeat the story just now, Xue Shi thought thoughtfully: "Are the nobles of Xiongshan City ...... Is it also a ...... that uses fear to achieve domination? ”

"Fear is an important part of what makes up domination, but it's not the whole story."

“？” Snowstone looked at Jill with a blank expression.

"What do you think is hateful?"

Xiongshan Castle is a city of criminals, and the nobles stand at the top, and they hold immeasurable wealth in their hands.

Privately set up tax cards, set up casinos, prostitution halls, and slave auction houses.

In other regions, whether legal or illegal, these nobles tried all of them.

On the surface, these industries have nothing to do with the aristocracy, but the discerning people know that these are all the handiwork of the aristocracy, and without the support of these nobles, no one dares to do such a thing.

There is no minced meat left for others, only the spilled soup and water have to be snatched by a large group of people.

Cutting off people's money and killing their parents.

Let's ask, can the nobles of Xiongshan City not be hated?

Not to mention anything else, the greedy and endless method of accumulating wealth by the nobles of Xiongshan City alone can attract the hatred of countless people.

Infinite hatred has long overflowed Xiongshan Castle.

However, those nobles still lived freely, but those who hated them died miserably.

Even the living haters can only swallow the hatred into their stomachs and silently scramble to spill the soup and water.

"Because of fear?" Snow Stone asked tentatively.

"No, it's because of trust." Jill very decisively denied Snowstone's words.

"It is precisely because of the repeated and changeable temperament of human beings that there are never only cowards who kneel on the ground and pray for mercy, but also countless survivors who rise up to resist and take the initiative to find a way out."

The people who rebelled against the nobles of Xiongshan Castle were both haters and survivors, and they were not willing to be cowards who prayed for mercy, and they were not willing to lick the soup and water spilled by the nobles, so they chose to resist.

"Failure silences the survivors, but it will not make the survivors disappear, let alone make the survivors feel afraid, failure becomes the motivation for the survivors to move forward bravely, as long as they wait for the opportunity, the survivors will immediately show their fangs."

Survivors have no fear and will not fear.

"Xueshi, how many people do you think want to replace that group of nobles in this drunken city?"

"There should be a lot of them......." Xueshi's voice was a little uncertain.

If it is a snow dwarf, no one would want to be a so-called nobleman, because it means endless trouble, less time to drink and eat meat, and he can only silently handle official duties when others are celebrating and celebrating, and the snow dwarf wants to get the honorary title that can prove himself more than the noble.

Jill silently walked to the window of the room, silently watching the pedestrians hurrying up and down the street.

Why didn't these people leave Xiongshan City?

Could it be that they all committed an accident outside or had to stay in Xiongshan Castle due to insufficient travel expenses?

This is certainly not possible.

"There are no survivors among these people, and they may not have the idea of becoming nobles in their hearts, but they are still working silently, because they can only work, not forced to work by fear, but believe that the nobles of Xiongshan City will not fall easily, and they trust the authority in the hands of the nobles of Xiongshan City, and they will never be simply pushed down."

The survivors did not resist because of fear, but because they did not resist because of trust, and they proved in practice how powerful the power of the nobility was.

Xue Shi suddenly blurted out: "So as long as the authority of the nobles of Xiongshan City is shaken and people see the hope of resistance, our problems will naturally be solved." ”

That's right, as long as the cowards and survivors see the weakness of the nobles of Xiongshan City, and know that the nobles of Xiongshan City are not an unshakable existence, the cowards will lose their fear and turn into haters who are even more haters than before. Survivors will also re-barre their fangs and bite off large chunks of flesh from them.
