201. Ideological education
Pesto is sixty-four years old, and he was sent to the Emansis Secret Order as an orphan at the age of ten.
His magical talent is one of the best in the Secret Magic Society, and at the age of thirty he was promoted from an apprentice to a mentor, and at the age of fifty he stepped into the fifth class of spellcasters, becoming a caster with a certain say in the Secret Magic.
His powerful magical talent also made him lose himself in power, and in short, he looked down on those 'No Seals' who had no magical abilities.
This made Pesto an absolute radical in the Arcane Society, knowing that the Esoteric Society wielded many powerful spells that other countries in this world could not match, so he didn't think there was any need for the Esoteric Society to live in a small land and not fight with the world.
Those who were born without control over their magic should have submitted to the rule of the Arcane Order.
However, the radicals in the Arcane were only a minority, and his ideas were opposed by the vast majority of the Esoteriac's casters, until a scourge called the Bloodcrystal Beast struck, and he was given a way to control the Bloodcrystal Beast and draw magic from it.
Ambition began to swell rapidly, and he no longer paid attention to the thoughts of the high-level elders of the Secret Magic Society, and gathered a group of spellcasters who shared the same philosophy as him, wanting to bring the entire Far South Continent into the territory of the Secret Magic Society of Gmansis.
But there was a slight mistake at the beginning of the plan.
Originally, the first country that Pessetto planned to conquer was the Duchy of Leslota, but because of this portal, his plan was temporarily changed to conquer the entire other world.
But the moment his proud Blood Crystal Beast turned into a pulp of flesh for some unknown reason and fell beside him, Pesto realized that something was wrong.
"Surrender before this magic... Where..." Pesertto was still not discouraged, the powerful power in his body made him a little carried away, but before he could finish his lines, the staff he raised in his hand directly shattered into pieces.
"Repeat, give up resistance, or you will be killed!"
Pesato's followers didn't take Lucheng's words, and three of them prepared a destructive magic, but before their magic could be built, a small red flower bloomed at the center of their eyebrows.
The particles of magic dissipated beside them, and the three of them fell to their knees at the same time, and then fell to the ground, blood spreading freely on the ground.
Pesertto watched this scene and wondered what was going on!
It's not an attack of magic at all! Pesertto didn't feel the slightest breath of magic, and the group of people in the distance were all Imprints, and only the one who was the leader felt the breath of magic.
The Imprint, who can't even control the magic element, kills the caster in the blink of an eye?
Pesto didn't believe that this would happen, and he was ready to continue chanting offensive techniques as a time to fight back.
The portal behind him closed instantly, and the leyline connection from the Gmansis Secret Magic Society was also broken the moment the portal closed.
The lack of demonic reaction swept over Pessetto in an instant, and the almost suffocating sensation of suddenly grabbing a fish out of the water and landing it on the shore made him unable to adapt.
He clutched his throat... The part of the magic in his body that belonged to the Blood Crystal Beast began to run wild, and eventually he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Poserto's appearance, which had been regained by the power of magic, began to age rapidly, wrinkles appeared on his cheeks, and then he fell into a fainting.
………………
Located in an interrogation room, Lu Cheng glanced at the data that had just been counted, there were a total of twelve traitors to the Secret Law Society, and after Lu Cheng killed three people, there were still nine people left.
All nine men were male, the youngest was thirty years old, and the oldest was sixty-four years old, the leader of the traitors.
According to the information provided by Master Pooh, only five of the nine had been members of the Secret Law Society in the past, and the leader of the group, Pesto, was also a senior teacher of the Secret Law Society.
It is this senior mentor that Lu Cheng is interrogating now.
"This question was asked by Mr. Vignie, why did you betray the Secret Order?"
Lu Cheng put down the statistical form in his hand, looked at the somewhat haggard old man in front of him and asked.
"I didn't betray the Secret Order! The Secret Law Society has the most powerful power in the Far South Empire, and even the Blood Crystal Beast can be controlled by us, we should be the rulers of the Far South! Pessetto's emotions seemed to be very agitated.
"You... Is it a junior high school student? ”
After listening to his thoughts, Lu Cheng tentatively asked this question.
"What are you talking about?" Pesto was able to communicate with Lu Cheng patiently, purely because Lu Cheng was a Saint Crystal holder, and if it was a No Seal, he probably wouldn't want to look at it.
"The second year of junior high school, in our country, is a grade for children who are about fourteen years old, and students in this grade will also have the idea of 'I want to conquer the world' like you." Lu Cheng said.
"You're laughing at me?"
Pesto instantly heard that Lu Cheng was ridiculing him for his childish thoughts in this way.
"No, it's childlike, it's good... Since you want to rule the Far South Continent, how about we talk about the detailed method of rule? Lu Cheng asked.
"It's... Would you like to join me? Pesto was a little dazed by Lu Cheng's attitude, but Lu Cheng's words sounded like he had the same thoughts?
"Just if I want to join you, first of all, let's say that you destroyed the Far South Empire with the Blood Crystal Beast army and paid all the countries of the Far South Continent, what are you going to do next?" Lu Cheng asked directly.
This question was difficult for Pesato, who thought that Lu Cheng would ask, 'What did you rely on to conquer the Far South Continent?', but Lu Cheng directly assumed that his plan had succeeded.
"First of all, I will destroy those who have no power." Pesertto expressed his extremely cold-blooded opinion.
"Stop, most of the people without seals are ordinary civilians, there are about thirteen million people without seals on the Far South Continent, and there are only about 700,000 seal-wielding people, if you destroy so many people, the entire Far South Continent will become a wilderness with no people." Lu Cheng said very seriously.
"That's... Will let them be slaves. Pesertto was a little speechless for a moment, and once again added a new idea.
"Thirteen million people are all slaves? Who will be the slave owner? Those who bear the seal? Lu Cheng asked.
"That's right!" Pesto was sure.
"Well, according to the data given by Mr. Pooh, your secret magic society has a population of about 30,000, and only half of them are seal-bearers with magic, and secondly, there may be less than one-tenth of the people who are willing to follow you, and the other wild seal-bearers on the continent, that is, spellcasters, may not listen to your fate, how can you guarantee that they will obey your orders and will... Their relatives or friends are slaves and at the same time secure your regime? Lu Cheng asked again.
"I... The Blood Crystal Beasts I have can bring them to their knees! Pesertto gritted his teeth, feeling his mind so messed up for the first time.
"The area of the Far South Continent is not small, your control over the Blood Crystal Beast can't cover the entire Far South Continent, right?"
"I can give control of the Blood Crystal Beast to my followers!"
But how can you be sure that your followers will be loyal to you? They have the same power as you. ”
"They will be loyal to me!" Pesto had lost his mind a little by this time.
"On this note, half an hour before you woke up, I interrogated your eight remaining followers, and they even told me the information about where they came from and when you met, the loyalty of these followers of yours... It's not too high. Lu Cheng's words made Pesto slam his handcuffed hands on the table in a bit of a frenzy.
"I will punish those who betray severely! But none of that matters! Pesto said angrily.
"Why doesn't it matter? You have conquered the entire Far South Continent, and the people on the continent can't be considered conquered if they don't listen to your orders, right? And you always have to re-establish your political power, and you haven't thought about how you plan to rule with so many people in the Far South Continent? Lu Cheng asked again.
"Nope." Pesto said to Lu Cheng very confidently.
"Then you conquer the world of." Lu Cheng suddenly changed from a secretary who gave advice to an interrogator, "Do you really think that being a ruler is simple, you don't even think about ruling a government, you don't have any experience in politics, and you want to rule the world after learning a little magic?" I'm afraid that I won't be killed by my own people stabbing me halfway. ”
Pesetto fell into a deep silence at this moment, he really didn't think... What should I do when I think of the Secret Magic Society or say that I really rule the Far South Continent?
The more he thought about this problem, the more headache he felt, and finally the whole person fell into a state of doubting life and doubting the world.
Lu Cheng looked at him with a sluggish look and sighed slightly.
"You don't have a chance, it stands to reason that our principle is to repatriate you if you enter the country illegally, but you also attacked the police, and the sentence is at least one year or more." Lu Cheng left the interrogation room after leaving this sentence.
Lu Cheng walked out of the interrogation room, and Master Pooh and Nancy were both outside looking at Lu Cheng with surprised eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng looked at the onlookers and asked.
"I thought you were going to ask him for some information by torture." Nancy said to Lu Cheng.
"The words of intelligence are definitely needed, I want to know where he got the control method of the Blood Crystal Beast, but our dictionary does not torture this statement, only 'ideological education'."
Lu Cheng looked at Charlotte and Master Pooh, who were about to write the word 'depression' on their faces.
"Are you sure you don't go back and check on the status of your secret puja?" Lu Cheng asked.
"I don't have enough magic." Charlotte said with some sadness, "There's no way to open the second portal." ”
