Chapter 71: Reward and Punishment are Temperate
About three days ago, Levi received an order from the royal capital of the Holy City, "The Queen is invited".
The order was given by the Queen about a week ago. Three or four days had passed since the messenger arrived at Levi's place, and it was estimated that it would take another three or five days by Levi to get there. A hundred kilometers is a matter of one foot of the throttle in Levi's eyes, and not even one foot of the throttle in the eyes of the interstellar landing craft! But in a generation where communication is largely roaring...... The messenger rode a horse to complete the 100 kilometers (of course, a little suspicious of not working) for three days, which is already good.
"Technology changes fate, doesn't it? Catherine? ”
Levi stood on the ornate dormitory, which was almost out of place with his surroundings, and suddenly improvised a question to Catherine beside him. Patting the fence on the balcony on the top floor of the dormitory (formerly the Armed Maid War Academy), he seemed to be quite emotional-
"Yes, master?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, and then she didn't quite understand why Levi suddenly popped out like this: "But what can change fate more is actually the pious worship of the master." ”
"Pious? Adore? ”
Levi laughed self-deprecatingly, and there were no armed maids standing guard by his side all the time. Even now, the living saint Mary, the head maid Ophelia, and others are also with them.
"I'm almost hollowed out, what else is there to be pious?"
"Master? Oh...... No! Master! ――”
Levi's words suddenly caused a shock in the room, and even Maria felt that this sentence was serious. By the time Levi heard the sound of the swaying of the nail leaves and looked back, there were already scattered loli and royal sisters kneeling on the ground in his room, and a few of them were still trembling. However, what was more gratifying to Levi was that the four armed maids who stood guard for him did not fall to the ground, but did not hesitate to point the violent guns, flamethrowers and hot melting guns in their hands at their former superiors and admirers - it seemed that compared to Levi's slight anger, these former superiors and longings were not worth mentioning. As long as Levi gives an order, these Levi's maids and high-ranking officials will become a pile of carbonized solids.
"Put the gun away—" Levi waved his hand to a few Lori maids standing guard with him, after watching them meticulously carry out their orders. He also breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately felt that today's matter was not finished: "You have done such a great thing, you have done a lot of things that I didn't know when I didn't know-"
"Master?" Mary and a group of others felt that they had been wronged: "Please make it clear to the master!" We're willing to go up to the atonement machine! ”
"It's not that serious, I'm just asking." Li walked back to his chair, half-lay down and closed his eyes and didn't look at those Lori and the royal sister - he was afraid that his appearance of a star would have a terminal illness, so he didn't pursue anything as soon as his heart softened: "-I heard that you quietly built a new factory by yourself, and you also skipped me to directly contact the Cult of the Mechanicus on Mars." Start building factories and capturing slaves? ”
"Yes...... Master, that's the case. Maria swallowed her saliva, but still calmly explained, "But we are also under your order to form a new army, and we will start ......"
"Who let you capture slaves! Well!? Speak! I'll let you speak! Who told you to capture slaves! ”
"The host...... Our factories need 'slave labor'. The people of this planet are too low-level to complete the repairs - we brainwash them to make them workers knowledgeable. Master, you don't say that knowledge changes lives......"
"It can't be changed like that! -- They also have wives and children! You get them over, what do you do with their families! Levi glared and wanted to slap him, but he couldn't. But the problem is already very serious - it has long been known that although these "interstellar pirates" are dressed in the skin of the empire, they are extremely ruthless one by one: "Let the people go immediately!" -- And brainwashing!! Are you crazy? Play your own and forget it, wash and wash - who gave you the power to do it! ”
"Uh...... Master, is that you? ”
"Huh......?"
"You once issued an edict on Earth, ordering that all conquered planets and races must be completely brainwashed. Of course, this command is not executed very thoroughly, because there is always a problem with the coverage frequency. This led to a constant rebellion, and various studies have proved that the safest planet is the one that is completely brainwashed, and that the people of the empire above serve their masters, and the glory of their masters protects them, is a trade-off that only the greatest human beings know. We, willingly—"
"It's all a fallacy!"
But there are some ...... of these fallacies Meaning. No, no, no, no! Levi has always felt that his three views should be considered correct, why was he made like this today?
"I don't care what you want to do, even if it's brainwashing, I don't care" Levi glanced at these maids with pity who had distorted the three views, he must now put the matter of the three views on the agenda, otherwise sooner or later one day these maids will do hurtful things for themselves! But...... It must be taken one step at a time: "- Take prisoners for me, not innocent people, you see!" ”
“? Yes, master—"
"That's right." Levi suddenly thought of something, opened his mouth and asked, "I didn't mean to influence that person...... Uh, drow elves? ”
"Master, her name is Barty." Catherine, the leader of the Mecha Warband, knew this matter best: "Master, after the recent torture...... When asked, she seemed to be a drow princess. ”
"Huh......?" Levi shook his head sharply and asked puzzledly, "How do you know?" ”
"Oh, she's got them all." Catherine patted her chest, the other party who is in her teens this year is not very old (here refers to age, really) but the city is very deep. was stepped on by Maria beside her, and immediately understood, bowed her head and said: "Because she was inspired, she also said that the demons are going to act recently." ”
"Fishing in the trough and touching the great white shark." Levi's hand touched his chin, and he sighed with emotion: "You see, the power of inspiration is relatively great, right?" ”
"No, master." At this time, Mary saw that the time was ripe, and said with a cold face (she always looked like this): "She is not called. ”
"I talk to her for 3 hours every day, listen to music for 3 hours, and I annoy her to death."
"That's because we injected her with drugs and hypnotized her with the mental system." Maria unceremoniously mended: "Master, I know that you don't trust spiritual hypnosis very much because of your last sanctification (kneeling), but in fact it still works. Please rest assured—"
"Who told you to hypnotize her! Brainwash her! Levi suddenly felt a little frightened by these armed maids: "Do it without my permission, do you want to hypnotize me one day!" ”
"Master, how dare we!" A group of maids suddenly felt that Levi was talking about a crime that they couldn't afford: "We don't dare—but just brainwashing her has given us a lot of information, hasn't it?" Next, whether we are going east to the demons, or the demons are attacking to take advantage of the chaos. This will save our people from death! ――Didn't you say that you cherish your lover the most? ”
"I'm ......" Made's kind of sense! What this little girl said makes a little sense! Indeed, compared to outsiders, of course, their own people are more sophisticated, and fighting a war is not a haha. But "You have a point...... but I want to punish you for your disobedience, and at the same time reward you for your excellent adaptability, do you have any opinions?" ”
What else can the people below say?
