Chapter 210: The Game of Heavenly Selection (34)
Just as Yechen said to Huorun, although warlocks always feel crazy, it doesn't mean that all warlocks have lost their wisdom and calm judgment. For example, Katina Marlowe, who sat opposite Yechen, was a warlock who was both crazy and smart enough.
Katina longs for destruction, longs for destruction, and has a chaotic and evil belief - she firmly believes that everything in the world, all the world, will usher in the Twilight Judgment, through which all filth will be washed away, and the world will be restored to its original purity.
To this end, Katina actively campaigned for the reconquest of the new town by the city hall, but at the same time, she had no intention of perishing with the provisional council of the city hall, so she approached Yechen and hoped to join the alliance. She was more optimistic about the nascent alliance than the stiff and rotten town hall council.
"Remember what we talked about earlier?" Yechen sprinkled chili noodles on top of chicken nuggets, "A vision of a new order in this world." ”
"Of course." Katina spoke, a smile on her pale face, it was because of that conversation that she made up her mind to join the alliance, "This world belongs to professionals. ”
After the world changes, this world belongs to professionals.
This sentence sounds very simple, even ordinary, and the words that come out will not cause any surprise, and many people will even think: Isn't this common sense?
But it is this common sense that the extended content is thrilling enough.
It's about the distribution of power!
In different civilizations, the people who have power, or to be precise, those who can mobilize social forces are not the same.
For example, in the previous Newlun City, it was in the midst of commercial civilization, and the people who had social power were all big businessmen and large group enterprises, and it was their agents who could come to the forefront.
Before, Yechen saw a sentence in a brief review of an old newspaper: giving up power for money, almost everyone in this city has made this mistake. Money is Sarasota's giant mansion with a shelf life of only ten years, and power is an ancient stone building that can stand for hundreds of years.
I don't know what the critic thinks, doesn't he know that the civilization he lives in is a commercial civilization? In commercial civilization, it is only money that determines the distribution of power. Of course, it is not the unicorn companies that have the glamour in the media that have this kind of "money power", but the large conglomerates that control major social resources such as oil, electricity, and mineral resources, and have huge capital.
Also, when can power and money be juxtaposed? Power doesn't just stand for hundreds of years, it has existed since the dawn of human civilization, until now. Power is like a crown, eternal and eternal. However, who can carry this crown is not the same in different civilizations: it can be theocracy; It can be a regime; For many countries in Africa, it is the military junta that has the power, that is, the military power; Before the world changed, it was Jin Quan who brought the crown, which was a huge capital.
On September 9, 2012, after the world changes, who will bring the crown of power?
Think about the sentence just now: after the world changes, the world belongs to the professionals.
After talking to Katina, Yechen came to the conclusion that this sentence was made, and from this sentence, an inference was derived: After the world changes, it is the powerful psionic power that holds the power of this world, and the one who has the psionic power is the professional.
With this in mind, Yechen gave Katina a vision of the order of power in Newlen City: the ten professional associations would eventually rule the city.
Now, the associations that have joined the alliance are: the Wizards Association of Yechen, the Mage Association of Fire, the Thieves Association of Saguna, the Ranger Association of Saria, and the Warlock Association of Kanressad.
There are a total of five associations in the hands of the alliance, and they will definitely occupy an important part in the distribution of power in Newlun City in the future, so Katina is thinking about how to join it.
"To be honest, it's a little difficult." This is the answer given by Yechen.
"Is it because of Kanressad?" Katina asked, there was already an association of warlocks in the Alliance. The Warlock Guild is the only one, and if Katina wants to join, she can only squeeze out Kanressad, or kill him directly, which is not simple, and a mistake may be regarded as a declaration of war against the entire alliance. Katina wondered if she could join the alliance first, so that the fight between her and Kanressad would be within the alliance, and it shouldn't cause hostility from other alliance members, right?
"Why do you have to join the Alliance?" Yechen asked a strange question.
Katina glanced up at Yechen and said, "Don't you know?" Because the federation mastered five professional associations. ”
"No, no, no." Yechen shook his head and said with a smile, "You are mistaken, it's not that the alliance has five professional associations, but that the five professional associations have come up with an alliance in order to facilitate communication and negotiation. ”
"So...... What is the difference? Katina didn't understand.
Before entering the seventh dimension, Katina's world was in the stage of magical civilization, otherwise she would not have been able to become a trialist as a warlock. Because of this, she does not have a deep understanding of the order under modern technological civilization.
"The difference is simple...... Ye Chen explained briefly.
The League has professional associations, which are the plans of Huorun, and if successful, the union will be similar to the United States of America, or at least a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, with a complete form of government, and the associations are closely linked to each other. In that case, Huorun, as the initiator and organizer of the alliance, will have huge power and benefits.
It's a pity that Huo Run's plan was ruined by Ye Chen, but fortunately, Huo Yun also knew that not to mention mastering the five professional associations, even controlling five trialists was an extremely difficult thing, so he didn't insist too much. So now, the alliance has become the "United Nations", a platform for professional associations to discuss things, exchange and coordinate, and does not have any special powers in itself.
"I can tell you for sure that the League will definitely win in the end and take control of the city, because any powerful professional guild will be absorbed into the League." Yechen said confidently, "So you don't have to be obsessed with joining the alliance now, what you need is to improve yourself, accumulate strength, develop your power, as long as you are strong enough, the alliance will take the initiative to absorb you into it." Of course, don't expect much help from the Alliance, which is only a platform and has very little power to mobilize. "There's another reason, Yechen doesn't want Katina and Huo Yun to come into contact too soon.
"That's right......," Kartina thought for a moment and asked a question, "According to your conception, the alliance only accepts the powerful forces, so there may be different voices within it. ”
"So what?" A faint smile appeared on Ye Chen's face, "It's a good thing to have competition, it can bring enough pressure to ensure that the alliance has enough vitality, in my concept, the alliance only provides ten seats, whoever can control a professional association can join the alliance." ”
Katina looked at Yechen and felt that this woman was not telling the truth. However, she didn't ask much, the dealings between the trialists were like this, did she still expect a trialist to be able to put their hearts in their hearts? However, Yechen's last sentence gave a positive answer: if you want to join the alliance, you only need to defeat Kanressad and establish your own warlock association.
"Okay, I see." "I'm going to challenge Kanressad and take my place. ”
"It just can't be now." Yechen emphasized one point.
"Of course, it can't be now." Katina readily responded. The old order has not yet been overthrown, and the town hall is still in control of the city, even thriving thanks to the reconquest of the new town. At this time, Yechen and Huo Run...... Of course, too, Katina, whose most important task is to break the old order.
Yechen and Katina chatted while eating barbecue, and when a big bag of chicken and mutton was almost finished, Yechen said, "Do you have any contact with the people of the Shen family?" ”
"Yes." Katina held a roasted chicken leg, "Everyone in the upper grades of the old city has to deal with the Shen family. ”
"Then what do you think......" Ye Chen pondered his words and said, "Will the Shen family agree with our conception of future social power just now?" Or rather, will anyone in the Shen family agree? ”
Katina, who was gnawing on the chicken legs, stopped, put it on the grill, looked at Yechen, laughed, and said, "It turns out that you want to pull the Shen family on the boat." ”
Yechen didn't deny it, and said, "Do you think it's possible?" ”
Katina thought seriously for a while and said, "As long as the head of the Shen family is in power, there is absolutely no possibility. ”
"How is that possible?" Yechen said in surprise.
"How could it be?" Katina smiled at Yechen and said, "You must think that the temporary council of the city hall only gave the Shen family one seat, and the Shen family must have been suppressed, right?" ”
"Isn't it?"
"Not really." Katina sighed and said, "Shen Wan's old man has a deep connection in the city hall council, after the world changed, the city hall council was reorganized into a temporary council, and the number of people was only reduced a little, and most of Shen Wan's connections are still there. It is a solid network of in-laws and close friends, don't look at the Shen family only one seat, even if there is no seat, the city hall must respect the interests of the Shen family. Connections can not only provide strength to the Shen family, but also a kind of fetters that trap the Shen family in the prison of the old order. In the same way, the Shen family's lineage will not agree with our theory. However, it is still possible that the side line of the Shen family is still possible. ”
To be honest, the Shen family still takes good care of the side. Of course, most of the family business should be kept in the hands of the direct lineage, so as not to dilute the wealth. If the outstanding children of the side family want to do something, whether they are studying, doing business, or even wanting to become painters, sculptors and other artists, as long as they show some achievements and prove that they have this ability, they will also get all-round support from the Shen family.
However, that was before the world changed, and now, it is reluctant for the Shen family to keep the clansmen with the Shen bloodline alive and not starve to death, and the family resources must be further concentrated and concentrated among the few outstanding talents in the lineage, and the others really can't take care of it. In this way, those side children will have to find their own way.
"Do you have the right person here?" Yechen asked.
"There's one." Katina said, "Shen Qian, a child of the Shen family who is about to come out of the fifth suit. ”
"Oh, how's the ability?"
"Very well, she is now a core member of the Twilight Cult."
The Twilight Cult is a secret sect founded by Katina based on her beliefs, promoting her view of the Twilight Trial.
"She's a warlock?" Yechen asked.
"No, she's a druid who can do natural magic."
There are two main branches under the druid, one is the natural druid who can use natural magic, and the combat style is similar to that of a mage, warlock and other legal professions, and the other is a combat druid who uses the power of nature to temper the body, and the combat style is similar to that of a warrior and knight.
"Oh." Yechen simply replied and did not speak.
"Are you worried about her faith?" Seeing the stunned expression on Yechen's face, Katina picked up the half-gnawed chicken leg again and said, "Don't worry, she doesn't believe in the Twilight Judgment and is not willing to work devoutly to restore the purity of this world. ”
"Then why ......"
"Like I said, she's capable." Katina is a madman with reasonable judgment, and in her opinion, as long as it can bring destruction and destruction, it is not a big deal to borrow the power of the dishonest.
This also reflects Shen Qian's ability from one side, even if Katina, a Twilight believer, can be called "enlightened", it is not easy to become a core member of the sect as a dishonest person, which is enough to prove her worth.
"Can you ask her out? I want to meet her. Ye Chen sent out an invitation, "Of course, if you allow it." ”
"I don't have a problem here." Katina readily responded.
Katina did things very neatly, and three days later, still in this valley, it was still close to the early hours of the morning, Yechen met the Shen family's side disciple, the core member of the Twilight Sect, Shen Qian.
Shen Qian is a short girl, with a pair of eyes as pure as the blue sky, and a pure smile on her face all the time, like the embodiment of nature, a pure elf.
After some conversation, Shen Qian returned satisfied, while Yechen stayed in the valley, picking up the scraps of meat on the grill.
At this time, Katina came over and asked, "How is it, does Shen Qian meet your requirements?" ”
Yechen let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I finally know why she became a core member of the Twilight Sect...... Although she doesn't believe in Twilight Judgment and is not a warlock, she ...... inside"
