051: Its name is despair
051: Its name is despair
"Well, my title is going to be lengthened again." Hearing the Lazarin people call him Neo, Liu Jian's mind suddenly popped up with such thoughts.
"If I unify the whole of Dothraki, I guess I will add to my title the horse that rides the world or something."
In fact, there is no need to wait for Liu Jian to unify the entire Dothraki, and now a large number of Dothraki people have called Liu Jian a horse riding the world behind their backs, thinking that Liu Jian will definitely unify the entire Dothraki and become the only Kao and rule the entire world, and there are many Dothraki under Liu Jian's command. There are even many people who think that Liu Jian's mount conquers the king, and this incomparably huge horse king is the child of the horse god, and the promise that it will become Liu Jian's mount is the proof that Liu Jian is riding the world's horse.
Well, superstition and prophecy are really not explained.
Liu Jian now has more important things to do, he wants to make the people of Lazarin feel happy.
It is difficult and simple to make a person or a group of people feel happy. The difficulty is that human needs are endless, and everyone wants to live a better life for themselves and their children in the near future. And the simplicity is ...... There is no certain standard for happiness, and it is a kind of happiness that you can eat enough and the person you hate can't. Being able to sleep in an impermeable house in warm clothes, while your enemies are shivering in the cold wind, will also make people feel the joy of revenge, which is also a kind of happiness.
In fact, the criteria for happiness and unhappiness are contrasted.
To put it mildly. The pain of the enemy is your own happiness.
So. The easiest way to make others feel happy is to...... Cause misfortune to your enemies!
Now, the Lazarin people have become Liu Jian's own people. In order to make his own people feel happy, Liu Jian could only ask the enemies of the Lazarin people, and the mercenaries who came to take the Lazarin people into slavery had a good experience of what pain and misfortune were, and used their pain and misfortune to support the happiness of the Lazarin people.
A total of 343 mercenaries were tied with ropes and knelt under the high platform, waiting for Liu Jian's judgment with anxiety.
The total number of captured mercenaries was actually not that large, and last night, after the war was over, Xuanwu and the members of the Assassin Brotherhood interrogated the members of the Raven Order one by one. And pick out the characters who may be valuable in it. Including the two leaders of the Raven Regiment, Dario. Naharis and Salo the Bald Head, who were imprisoned in the Black Cell of the Assassin Brotherhood.
Another regimental commander, Puranda, died in the last night's raid.
The fate of these important people will undoubtedly be even more tragic than that of these ordinary mercenaries kneeling under the high platform now, because the Xuanwu Assassin Brotherhood will use all the punishments and torture methods they know to inflict on these important people, to ensure that they spit out all their secrets, whether Liu Jian wants them or has no interest.
Liu Jian could not guarantee how many secrets would be revealed by those who were tortured by the Assassin Brotherhood after these interrogations. The only thing he can guarantee is that when the torture is over, all those who are being tortured will think that death is actually a very easy thing to do, and their eyes will be closed. It's all over, far less than the never-ending pain of not being able to die.
The reason why Liu Jian knew this was because Xuanwu had tried to use these methods on his brother after learning a lot of torture methods from Liu Jian. To temper the will of these brothers and ensure that they can keep their secrets in the face of torture by others. If it's just physical pain, then it's not a big deal. But what Xuanwu learned from Liu Jian was basically a torture method based on mental torture. Even the fanatics hypnotized by Liu Jian could hardly withstand these constant tortures.
"You are wearing armor and carrying weapons. Come here, home to the Lazarin. You have destroyed the houses of the Lazarins, and you have robbed them of their riches, and you have taken them captive as slaves. You have sinned, and you will be punished. According to my law, you have committed murder by killing the Razarins. You have destroyed the houses of the Razarins and have committed the crime of destroying the property of others. You have committed the crime of robbery by robbing the sheep of the Lazarins, and you have taken the Lazarins as slaves, which is a heinous crime! According to my laws, you will be deprived of all political and personal rights, you will not be kept any hope, and all the gods will spurn you. I will not kill you, for the punishment I am going to give you will make you think that death is a reward! Facing the three hundred and forty-three mercenaries kneeling under the high platform, Liu Jian said coldly: "I want you to work all day long, before the sun rises, and you will not rest after the sun sets, and not a grain of grain will belong to you from the land you cultivate." You will not earn you a single copper plate by digging ore in the mountains. Fatigue and pain will be with you, and you must not stop, for behind you there will be whips and aximotes to drive you away. You hunt others as slaves, so enjoy life as slaves! ”
Turning all three hundred and forty-three people into slaves was the result of Liu Jian's careful consideration.
Although beheading and killing all three hundred and forty-three people seems to be a more relieving and more able to win over the Lazarins. But there is no need for Liu Jian to do this, the Lazarin people are an important basic plate for Liu Jian, but they are not the only ones...... He doesn't need extreme maintenance of the Lazarins. Moreover, although the killing of all three hundred and forty-three people could indeed relieve the Lazarins of their anger for a while, and give the Lazarins the pleasure of revenge. But this pleasure only lasts for a short period of time, like sucking. Like poison, after a short period of pleasure, there is a long emptiness.
But to turn all these 300 people into slaves and let them work in pain all day long under the noses of the Lazarins, can make the Lazarins feel the happiness of revenge every day, and thus make the Lazarins remember every day who brought them this happiness.
Not to mention that the mercenaries were relieved that they didn't have to die immediately after Liu Jian's sentence. On the other hand, I am trembling and trembling for the painful life that is coming. Liu Jian was listening to Xuanwu's report at this time. After continuous interrogation in the middle of the night, Xuanwu had successfully extracted some very useful information from the mouths of those tortured.
"That's probably the case." In Liu Jian's big tent. Xuanwu respectfully knelt on the ground and gave Liu Jian the information he had taken out of the captive's mouth.
Bend your index finger. Liu Jian gently tapped the tabletop one by one, making a thumping sound.
Let Xuanwu torture those captives, Liu Jian didn't want to get any very meaningful information. His greatest purpose was to find out where those mercenaries and Dothraki were now, find them, capture them, and then destroy them. In the previous information, Liu Jian only knew that a large number of mercenaries and a part of the Dothraki people had carried out a ransack of the Lazarin area.
But unexpectedly, Xuanwu actually tortured some incredible information from the mouths of these captives, the leaders of the Raven Regiment, Bald Leader Saluo and Dario. Naharis was the source of this important intelligence.
I thought about it for a long time. Liu Jiancai spoke: "Is this information true?" ”
"I interrogated them separately twenty times, in accordance with the procedure."
"Then it's really possible."
Liu Jian exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and then stood up: "Put Dario. Naharis brought it, and I'm going to question him personally. ”
"Yes!"
Dario. Naharis was quickly pushed up by the Assassins, and before today, Dario. Naharis is undoubtedly a successful mercenary, a brutal killer, and a skilled warrior. But the Assassins interrogated him well, as they pulled out all the secrets from his mouth. It also greatly destroyed his spirit.
"Dario. Naharis? Liu Jian walked up to him and asked softly.
Dario was still on his knees and trembling, and his mouth was muttering something like "let me go".
Liu Jian grabbed his hair. Jean Dario. Naharis's head lifted with difficulty, and his arms were tied up with a backlash that made it impossible for him to straighten up.
He was dragged into Liu Jian's tent by the Assassins like a dead dog. There were not many scars visible on his body, but in his blue eyes, the color of his beard that hung down to his shoulders and the trident on his chin. But like a child with nightmares, he was full of panic and fear.
Looking at his mental state, Liu Jian understood that Xuanwu's interrogation of him should be extremely successful. tortured such a rough and cruel man to the way he is now.
Obviously, Xuanwu's torture of Dario was a little too much, and now Dario had no way to answer Liu Jian's question properly, he just wanted to escape the punishment imposed on him, and he didn't think about answering the question at all.
"I'm still inexperienced."
Liu Jian sighed lightly, and Xuanwu immediately lowered his head in shame: "Master, Xuanwu has disappointed you." ”
"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Experience doesn't come out of nowhere, try to get the right strength in no time. After calming Xuanwu a little, Liu Jian turned around and continued to look at Dario, who was already on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Mr. Dario, do you want to be free, if you want to be free, I can let you go." Liu Jian slowly squatted down and looked directly at Dario. Naharis said with a smile in his blue eyes.
"What do you mean...... It's true? Although Dario's voice was a little blurred, Liu Jian could still hear what Dario was saying.
"There's a play!"
With a happy feeling in his heart, Liu Jian immediately said: "Of course, of course, I can swear, Mr. Dario, look at me, look at my pure black eyes, look, does it look like it can lie?" No, right, so you can totally trust me. I think my men may have misinterpreted me and done some rough things to you, but I have reprimanded them in the hope that this will heal your wounds a little. Xuanwu, didn't you hear what I said, go and prepare some food and water for Mr. Dario. Oh...... I think Mr. Dario needs a little more alcohol now, so bring in a small barrel of red wine. ”
Xuanwu didn't quite understand what Liu Jian was doing now, but it didn't matter if he didn't understand, as the commander of Liu Jian's Assassin Brotherhood and the first assassin, Xuanwu was instilled by Liu Jian with the first life creed to absolutely obey all orders from Liu Jian.
Therefore, Xuanwu did not hesitate to bring food and water to Dario as Liu Jian had requested, and then expressed to Dario his deep remorse for the personal injuries caused to Mr. Dario by the Assassin Brotherhood led by him for his rude behavior.
"Thank you...... Thank you. After half a day of brutal torture, he was treated with such gentleness and consideration, which made Dario completely overwhelmed.
"But, as a reward for your favor, Mr. Dario, you should do something to repay me, don't you? For example, tell me more about your plans. ”
Liu Jian said slowly, his tone was gentle and soft, like a good person with a capital letter.
That's right, he used hypnotism again.
Liu Jian's hypnotism does not work well for strong-willed people. Naharis was supposed to be in the realm of strong-willed humans, but Dario. Naharis had been tortured by Xuanwu and the other Assassins for most of the day, and the endless desperate mental torture had already destroyed his mental resistance, and now in Liu Jian's eyes, Dario's spirit was full of holes like rags after being severely rubbed.
Liu Jian was pleasantly surprised to find that he seemed to have found a good way to expand the scope of hypnosis applications.
For those who are strong-willed and spiritually strong, Liu Jian doesn't need to use hypnosis to conquer their powerful spirits, he can use other methods to destroy their spiritual defenses first.
Why didn't you think of such a simple method until now?
Hypnosis is taking effect.
Whatever Dario's intentions, he did begin to confide all his secrets to Jian Liu. These secrets are basically the same as the information tortured by Xuanwu, and there are more in-depth information among them, which are obviously not tortured by Xuanwu.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Mr. Dario, you have really helped me a lot." After asking three times in a row, after making sure that there should be no key information missing, Liu Jian stood up with a smile and said to Xuanwu: "Take him down, and by the way, replace the bald one for me." ”
The two assassins immediately walked up and tried to drag him away despite Dario's struggles, Dario couldn't help but ask Liu Jian in a nervous way, "Take it down, what do you mean, you promised to let me go?" ”
"Oh. That's right, that's ......" Liu Jian exclaimed as if he had just found out, followed by a sunny smile: "I'm really embarrassed that I lied." (To be continued.) )
