Chapter 489: A Suspected Child of Destiny
Towards midnight, the rain clouds, which had enough to vent, were blown south by the north wind.
Kane released the Sorcering Raven.
The biggest difference between this magical energy and the magic eagles is that they are faster, but they lack the ability to hover.
Kane was interested in their ability to detect at high speed, with 12 spell ravens flying in a straight line in 12 directions like dial scales.
This is tantamount to increasing Kane's perception range, and the disadvantage is that it is relatively fuzzy observation, no longer like inherent perception, within the radius, even if it is an insect and ant-level alien insect, there is nothing to hide.
Without any suspense, this wave of reconnaissance failed.
After all, Amanda can be said to have been robbed under Kane's nose. Later, it was proved that teleportation techniques were not used, which meant that the other party had the technology to isolate his perception, thus cutting off the spells he had released on Amanda in advance to locate them.
Kane also realized that he might be plundered because he suddenly couldn't sense Amanda's existence.
Now the magic raven is aimed at the situation that the other party has mastered, and it cannot take effect for a long time. If this is the case, it means that Amanda was not found because he had been transferred out of his basic perceptual circle by the other party in time.
Amanda failed to find the mansion of the Gaun family, and even Fort Gaun, because of this stern and resolute investigation, the combing was completed.
If you count those black households, there will be more than 500 people who are charged enough to go to prison.
It can be said that this investigation not only dug up the latent witches and other criminals, but also dug up the anti-Gaoen family characters that have been accumulated for a long time.
After all, with the use of hypnosis + truth spitting agent (diluted), the clerk sent by Lawrence only needs one more mouth to dig out the deeply buried hatred.
The Gao En family is not a kind person, they are vampires who lie on the people and suck the blood, and in some ways, they are more vicious than the vampires in the mountains.
Therefore, from the perspective of modern morality in the origin world, almost all the people of Gounburg have reasons to hate the Goun family, including serving as a deacon for its eagle dogs, and even officers and soldiers of the militia.
But if you look at the universal cognition of this world, the Gao En family is just rich and unkind.
Che Guevara, the famous revolutionary of the world, said: "The capitalists will build you schools, build hospitals, raise your basic salary, reduce your working hours, and do not do this because they are kind, but because we have been there." ”
Throughout history, the contradiction between the ruler and the ruled has always existed, and if the ruled did not fight, then there would be no guarantee at the beginning of the industrial revolution, and the sweatshops that were pulled down would always exist, and even intensified.
After all, cost reduction is also an important means to gain competitiveness, research and development of new technologies requires time and money, and it is likely that the gains outweigh the losses. If you feel that the other party can still bear it, then tighten the rope.
The cruelty of exploitation and oppression, there is no need to go into too much detail, Kane just needs to know that the ordinary people in this world have a much higher endurance than the ordinary people in the origin world, so it is not easy to make the mistake of pretending to be stupid.
Therefore, the large-scale use of hypnotism + truth-vomiting agents against the people of a town, which is an absolute violation of privacy in the modern era of the origin world, will cause a big incident, and will be under the pressure of global moral public opinion, and the operation of ironclad imprisonment is only a sentence of 'doing a little too much' in Goenburg.
Yanan's universal moral benchmark is indeed lower than that of the developed inland areas, and people who are generally essentially equivalent to serfs can imagine how many human rights there are.
Correspondingly, those who are deeply involved in the Gao En family for one reason or another, and who are ready to take or have already taken practical actions, can imagine the fate of the future.
According to Lawrence's urine, these people will definitely be consumed in two or three years in a similar way to black miners.
This was the most common way for rulers of this era to deal with criminals.
Although there is extraordinary power, it represents high-end technology, just as modern precision machining equipment cannot be used to make shovels.
In this era, the use of manpower is a very competitive resource operation, and it is too wasteful to hang something, and it is generally a drama that is staged only when it is an example.
Kane didn't care what Lawrence did with those people, his ass was sitting on the side of the rulers, and he wouldn't say anything about the hatred justified, the Gaune family deserved to die, and the people were innocent.
Promoting social development and civilization progress is not his purpose and original intention, even if he can't bear it, he will only support tricks, or teach some skills, use golden ideas to make the ruler better profitable, and at the same time make the life of the ruled less miserable, or at least, live a little longer.
Kane's Predator system meant that he aspired and succeeded in becoming a ruler.
After so many years and so many people and events, he knows very well what kind of urine a ruler is.
It can be said that basically all rulers, after reaching a certain height of power, no longer treat people as human beings. At least when it comes to his career, that's the case.
Digitization, informatization, rationalization, and large-scale livestock, but not emotional, that is called emotional, is the taboo of the ruler.
From this point of view, it is the same whether they are playing high-pressure dictatorship, taking the democratic line, or so-called revolutionaries.
In such a saying: the love of children is long, and the kindness of women cannot do great things.
That's why Kane always said that rulers are not good people.
No matter how lofty the reasons are, no matter how much hardship there is, they cannot change the conclusion fed back by the facts caused by the behavior.
Compared to the Red Flag Pioneers, who perform major surgeries on civilizations in each world they visit, Kane prefers to play his own rather than intervene deeply in the evolution of civilization in that world.
To be more specific, since we want to interact with civilization, we will have a social orientation and a position. Kane, who is accustomed to expressing considerable strength to prevent the harassment of snakes, snakes, scorpions, and scorpions, is easily accepted by the rulers of the world, and then it seems that the ass decides the head.
As soon as Kane came, he brought bloodshed to Fort Goen, and the toiling masses naturally disliked him very much, and the villains did not like him either, because of such a big incident, he could not get oil and water.
In the past, these people could make trouble when they had nothing to do, snitching, selling intelligence, or taking advantage of the chaos to rub oil.
This time, however, it was not possible, and even if there were many militia guards who had the intention of cooperating, they did not dare to act rashly under strict orders and sharp means.
Without these people taking advantage of the opportunity, although the investigation operation was vast and violent, it was very short-lived, and the overall damage caused was limited.
Especially the next day, under the guidance of Kane, Lawrence dumped the pot to the witch in the form of an announcement, and also distributed a batch of old grain as compensation, which made the people's resentment further reduced.
What is really beneficial to solving the current problem is the treatment plan for black households.
Following Kane's advice, a significant number of the black households were listed as new burgers, and were given mortgages and arable land.
For Lawrence, this is actually an overcharge of a group of exploited objects, but the return of income is a little slower, but it is long-lasting.
But for these black households, it is equivalent to obtaining a stable means of livelihood and shelter.
The exploiters are a whole class, and many are happy to make cameos.
For example, tavern and grocery store owners, if they have the opportunity, their exploitation methods are also very cruel.
In order to make a living, black households often have to accept this kind of exploitation.
What gave Kane an important clue was such a black account in the tavern's private collection.
This young woman not only had to work as a handyman in the back kitchen of the tavern, but also had to work in the skin and meat business.
At work, she befriended a man who was not too young to marry and who often brought hunted game to the tavern.
She wanted to be good, and the man was willing to take him in, but the tavern owner was unwilling to give up such a money-making tool.
In desperation, she was introduced by a secret missionary and joined the Sisterhood.
In fact, it was the Witches' Society, which she only learned about later.
Under the banner of helping each other, the sorority supported her.
But there are also requirements for her, including doing some evil and terrible things, and still selling the hue, but it is more purposeful, and I don't know if it is a simple money transaction.
In a way, this is not as good as being exploited by the tavernkeeper.
But what can be done? Unless she has the will to die, it is impossible for her to break free.
She didn't want to die, she also wanted someone who was willing to marry her to live a normal life.
With such hope in my heart, the endurance is amazing.
As a result, this time, because of Kane's benevolent policy, she escaped the shackles of the past. Out of gratitude, and also for the sake of the future, she chose to poke out the dense knowledge she knew.
"What's your name?"
"Cathy, sir. ”
"You were smart and made the right choice. If you can't uproot your sorority, they'll still find you in the future. ”
Cathy was also worried about this before, one of the difficulties in mixing rivers and lakes is that it is difficult to wash her hands in the golden basin. Even if you have some, you will often be pulled back into the water by the people you have met for one reason or another.
But for Kane, Cathy's intelligence wasn't his focus. He was concerned about what Cathy had revealed and why she was the only one who wasn't bound by the oath.
According to Cathy, somewhere underground in Gauenburg, there was a very secret sacrificial place, which she thought should have been remodeled on the basis of some kind of monument. It was there that the secret meetings of the sorority were held.
You must know that Kane's perception ability is extraordinary, with the status of a demigod, even if the actual strength has not yet been reached, but there is a certain divine bonus.
At the same time, in the transcendent world, the underground is often a place where the forces of darkness gather, which means that Kane, as a dark contractor, can perceive deeper underground than ordinary transcendents.
Finally, there is the identity of the Great Druid, whose natural interaction with this world is still lacking, and the bonus is limited, but it is also added.
It is also this buff effect that allows him to discover that there is a dome deep underground that can be used to build a sanctuary on the way to the road.
In this way, he failed to discover that there was a secret place of sacrifice under the castle.
Suffice it to say that the place is unusual
He felt that Cathy's judgment was mostly correct, that it was a ruin, and that judgment was consistent with his previous assumption. That is, the opponent is in the possession of some kind of artifact or holy artifact, which obscures his perception.
As for the oath, the oath that Kane is referring to here is not a magical oath in the general sense, but a soul oath with artifacts or holy relics as the arbitration.
Discovering such an oath is not something that hypnosis and truth-spitting can do.
And the reason for judging the existence of the oath was that he felt that such a big Goenburg should not know that Cathy alone had joined the sorority.
After so many people were interrogated, none of them mentioned the sorority and the place of worship, most of the reason was that the oath was at work.
In addition, the scope of protection of the oath also means that the artifact or holy object cannot exert its full power, at least not the person who has it can, so it can only protect the key information, that is, the sorority and the ruins.
Cathy's peculiarity intrigued Kane, who asked Cathy to do a simple test despite the time constraints.
As a result of the test, Cathy is a godborn and most likely a child of destiny.
Kane found it amusing, the children of fate often appear in the world of great contention. Thinking about the situation in the countries of the Aika continent, it is really a turbulent and turbulent era, which is suitable for making waves. It's a pity that he doesn't know where the history of this world is going, and he doesn't know what role Cathy plays.
However, according to the inertia of the child of destiny, Cathy is most likely unable to marry the hunter who is willing to marry her, and the possibility of the hunter dying because of her is extremely high, and hatred has always been the main source of motivation for the children of destiny to work hard and complete the counterattack of the little people.
