Chapter 166: Developing Party Members
"Golden Dawn" is gradually expanding steadily, developing steadily, and gradually penetrating into all social classes and even government departments in the United Kingdom, and is achieving its goal step by step.
But it's not like all cats and dogs can join, this secret magical society adopts the principle of preferring lack to abundance.
At the heart of the organization is Mr. Smith, the only wizard in the world, with his wisdom and knowledge, as well as his wonderful magical powers and promised benefits, including longevity, health, strength, and so on.
The other members naturally mainly play the role of providing money and connections, and most of the people who have been absorbed in the first part are the rich, capitalists, celebrities and aristocrats...... Only a very small number of them are particularly gifted talents from other classes, well-known scholars, and of course some are puppets specially planted by Mr. Smith.
It is mainly used to occupy a certain percentage of the membership, to help make suggestions at certain times, to echo the speeches, to guide everyone's ideas, so as to carry out certain things in a superficially democratic form, so as not to be considered a completely dictatorial dictator by these guys.
At the same time, he can also use these trumpets to deal with other members of the organization in ordinary times, and grasp their thoughts and speech tendencies, so as not to know when he will unknowingly betray his relatives and become the enemy they target......
For some reason, Mr. Smith, who has a shadow in his heart, hates this kind of thing, so he must take precautions.
In addition to these preparations, he also designed a strict hierarchy to divide the members of the "Golden Dawn" into different ranks, and with strict rules and regulations, the entire hierarchy was incorporated into the guiding principles and spiritual teachings of this magical society.
After all, no one can deny that every breath in Britain is about class.
Not only the status, but also the class reflected in the distribution of wealth is more obvious. The aristocracy, the bankers, the big landowners, and the like often earned more than £10,000 a year, while many workers were paid as little as a few hundred pence a month.
Therefore, it is necessary to face up to this reality, and even the members of the same organization must be strictly hierarchical.
Otherwise, an upper-class person who was originally a big aristocracy and a wealthy person, after joining the "Golden Dawn", found that everyone could be on an equal footing with him, sharing his money, connections and other resources.
Presumably, no matter who it is, they will probably not accept this matter calmly.
It does not mean that the identity class should be completely solidified within the "golden dawn", and the flow and change of classes must not be allowed, the celebrities and aristocrats have been celebrities and aristocrats for generations, and the common people will always be the common people......
But you need to grasp this degree -
For example, a low-level member is allowed to work hard and accumulate merits, gradually climb to the top of the organization, become a core member, and even enter the elder's seat. But it is absolutely impossible for them to be on an equal footing with the elite who have their own abundant capital as soon as they come in.
This is a stupid thing to do, and it will only lead to distraction from the organization.
And there are two sides to everything, a few people have said the disadvantages, as for the positive aspect, the existence of the hierarchy is naturally conducive to the good development of the "Golden Dawn".
After all, you must know that many popular games in the 21st century are designed around meeting various human needs, from the bottom of the pyramid to the top level, including physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-realization needs.
Just think about the various virtual levels and virtual titles in it, and the satisfaction of the upper psychological needs of this self-worth realization and respect makes players feel very good about themselves, and in the end they even become addicted, and the importance of games replaces their real lives.
That's it, as long as you make use of this system, low-level peripheral members and low-level members will be obsessed with "monster farming and upgrading", working hard to complete various tasks and make various contributions to the organization.
In the process of gaining a higher status in the organization step by step, they can also prove their abilities, gain the admiration of everyone, and meet their own respect, social and other upper needs.
As for those who are already at the top of the organization, core members, although there is little or no hope of continuing to upgrade, it does not mean that they will not be fascinated.
If you think about this kind of thing, you can understand that how many local tyrant players in the game have no need in terms of level, equipment, title, etc., but they still like to brush their presence online and enjoy the pleasure of being envied and stuttered by countless people.
By the same token, some people who would otherwise be in the elite in normal society may not be interested in continuing to hold a high position in a supernatural secret society, because this is also their act of satisfying the needs of their own upper classes.
The most important thing is that this is not just a virtual game, they are not just role-playing in the organization, seeking unreal pleasure, but also gaining tangible benefits.
The benefits that can be obtained by the members at the bottom are mainly exchanged by the members at the top, including physical assets such as pounds sterling and houses that can be obtained directly, as well as intangible connections such as introducing good job opportunities and introducing them to the upper class, which are all rewards that can be cashed in in the real world society.
And the interests pursued by the high-level members are naturally the intuitive benefits brought by the mysterious forces.

"Magic is a science, but it only transcends common sense, not the world, and it has its own set of logical theories......
"Even from the point of view of the occult, the material world has its own laws, and nothing in the world exists independently......"
"The position of the stars, the movement of the seasons, and the change of the climate, we use another cognitive perspective to observe the situation, and through observation, accumulation and calculation, we can cut into the changes in the real environment......"
Sitting in the brightly lit room, Mr. Smith was trying to sort out the knowledge he had digested, and quickly wrote lines of beautiful and moving handwriting on the blank parchment with a quill.
Of course, it wasn't pure handwriting, and that was a little too torturous, he just sat in his chair, and the desk in front of him spread out a dozen blank pieces of parchment, and there were also a dozen quills floating in the air, constantly vibrating, writing words one by one.
It's fast, it's fast, and the handwriting is clear and beautiful, and the writing is coherent, so you can do it all in one go, and there will be no small mistakes in spelling mistakes.
At this rate, as long as Mr. Smith's train of thought can keep up, and his thoughts are not interrupted or Carvin, it may only take a few hours to complete a book, which is surprisingly fast......
He is compiling internal materials for "Golden Dawn", which can also be said to be writing teaching materials -
Because those old celebrities and aristocrats, although basically no hope of the possibility of self-taught magic and delving into mysteries, still believe that their descendants have hidden magical talents, and hope to be able to master magic through learning.
They can't be blamed for thinking so, after all, there is a limit to the amount of magic that can be obtained directly through the Arcane Link, and the price to be paid in this way is too great.
Mr. Smith has no mercy at all, especially for those elites on his list, it is directly a price of 10,000 pounds! Ten thousand pounds in the 19th century!
It's just that many old people have had enough of their weakened bodies and the terrible feeling of dying old in their old age, so they still send them to the door one after another to be cut......
Even if you don't have that much cash for a while, you must change the quota for real estate to cash out.
However, when they tasted the sweetness and sincerely felt that this was not a loss, it was unlikely that they would immediately come up with a second or third sum of 10,000 pounds to buy such a place for their wives, sons and daughters.
- I won't say how many family conflicts have been caused.
However, Mr. Smith also thinks that this method is feasible, after all, the "arcane link" is not a panacea, even if a magician can be transformed into a magic network, it can only be a local area network, and it is impossible to say that there is unlimited access to countless subordinate nodes to share his magic power.
He is just a great magician with demon blood, and he is not a god with unlimited energy and immortality, if he dares to do this, he will definitely be completely squeezed dry.
In fact, to be a role model like Mr. Robert, not only to master a certain degree of spells, but also to restore a certain degree of physical vitality...... This is actually quite a magical thing, so Mr. Smith has made a list, and only those who have a lot of money and power can directly enjoy such treatment.
——Open the first-level node of the "Golden Dawn" magic network and directly obtain a seat for a core member.
However, even so, after less than two months, he still felt that he couldn't support it, how could there be so many rich and powerful people in this damn world?!
In addition to writing the textbook, Mr. Smith needed to distract these people with other things—
With a huge supply of resources, he was able to start making many magical creations, although most of them were simplified versions that did not require much magical matter.
However, it is also enough to deal with, such as alchemy potions that can significantly improve physical fitness, such as bone talismans that contain magical powers...... These are verifiable things, even in Mr. Smith's eyes, they are nothing more than low-level tricks.
But for a group of mortals who had never really been exposed to magical power, it was already quite a miraculous thing.
However, Mr. Smith also knew that this would only be able to cope for a while, and it increased the risk of his planned exposure...... So he had to find a real solution to the problem at hand as soon as possible.
For now, it seems that turning to the Great Being is the only option.
Yes, missionary work must be on the agenda, but how should we describe the image of a great being?
Thinking so, he looked at the ancient symbols drawn on a piece of parchment in his hand—
It was a snake biting its own tail, symbolizing the infinite cycle of life and death.
