Chapter Ninety-Eight: Management
Mamba looked at Megill, and then at the group behind her.
"I say, Lady Megill, are you sure you, and your men, will be able to accept my offer?"
Megill asked rhetorically: "Then tell me first, what is the method of giving up everything?" ”
Mamba's eyes were deep: "I can only tell you that the Lord must do these things, and whether you want it or not is your own business." ”
He looked at the elevator descending from the hub: "Lady Megill, you still have time to think, we will go to the upper level and wait for you." ”
……
Tang Hao sat on a stone chair and was pushed up the elevator, a vertical pipe made of transparent material, which was much stronger than it looked from the outside.
The total length of this central hub is said to be about one kilometer, leading to the upper and lower levels, which means that the distance between the two levels of the Underworld is about 500 meters.
The speed of the elevator is not fast, and the length of 500 meters takes about two minutes to run.
Tang Hao continued to chat with the adjutant if he had nothing to do: "Adjutant, you said that if Megill agrees to join us, how many people do you need to absorb to become followers?" ”
The lieutenant replied, "To be on the safe side, this machine recommends that you convert all 'ables' into followers so that they don't cause harm to your teammates." ”
Tang Hao also agreed with the adjutant's statement: "Indeed, there is a huge difference between the 'capable person' and ordinary people, and if you control the 'capable person', others will not be able to make many waves." ”
"However, my follower limit is only two hundred, and now I have just started, and I have already accounted for twenty-one places, will it not be enough in the future?"
The lieutenant replied: "The number of people that a single person can directly manage is about ten to twelve, and if you control two hundred followers, and then use them to manage the rest, then the maximum number of people in your team can reach two thousand to two thousand four hundred, which is not a small number." ”
"Even in the interstellar federation period, a team of this size is enough to control a capital warship, or even a fleet, which is a force to be reckoned with in a star system."
Tang Hao smacked twice: "Forget it, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, no matter how much, let's go to the place to see how the situation is at this level, and then formulate the next action plan." ”
……
After the elevator stopped, Mamba saw the first two groups of members who had arrived.
Everyone was in what looked like a steel-framed building, and there were two guides explaining the situation on this floor to the group members.
"I thought the central hub would go all the way up, but I didn't expect it to be just that." Jim, who arrived in the second batch, was extremely regretful.
"If we can go all the way up, then it's much easier for us to take the elevator straight to the ground." Lias laughed.
Mamba walked over: "How's the situation on this level?" ”
Lias nodded at him, "The groomer said that the population on this level is much smaller than ours, and it is basically concentrated in their gathering place. ”
"And I've heard that this level is densely guarded, so let's be careful."
He looked at the central hub: "In addition, I heard them say that under normal circumstances, the hub can connect the three layers of worlds, and as for where the hub to the upper level is, they only give a general direction. ”
As he spoke, Lias pointed in one direction: "We'll have to find the exact location ourselves." ”
Mamba nodded: "It's enough to have this news, you go and prepare, and pick a few people to scout with you." ”
Lias took the order, and after the others pulled the trailer off the lift, the lift continued to run, and they remained with the rest of the group.
Soon, the last two groups of members also reached this floor through the elevator, and Selena, who was finally broken, walked up to Mamba in an octopus machine.
"Mamba, Megill of Nam Ryol, seems to be determined to go with us, she told me to wait for them later, and they will come up on the next lift."
This was expected by Mamba, and he turned back to Cha Mo and said, "We may have a lot of people going to perform the ritual later, so you can prepare for it." ”
……
When Megill and his party came up with the elevator, they saw the Mamba and them repairing on the side.
She walked straight over: "Mamba Chief, we have already thought about it, there are a total of fifty-nine people in Nanlie, all of whom are willing to believe in your 'Lord' and join your team. ”
Megill pointed behind him: "The rest of our members and supplies will be here later, now you say, how can we abandon everything and follow your 'master'?" ”
Mamba took her outside the steel-framed building, which was not like the original level, where there were no passages or light strips, and it was very empty all around.
In the clearing, at intervals, there was a towering pillar, and the light shone down from the top of the pillar, illuminating the whole world with huge spots of light.
Beneath the spot closest to the central hub, the tea powder is ready.
The idol of the Lord sits there, and the ceremony is about to begin.
……
"Are you saying that after this ceremony, even if you have the approval of your 'Lord', you will be able to become one of you?" Maygill was a little dismissive of their next move.
Mamba nodded: "However, not all of your members of Nanlie are qualified to perform this ceremony, at this stage, only the 'powerful' are qualified to do so." ”
"What about the others?" We have a total of nine capable people in Nanlie, and there are still fifty people left. ”
Mamba replied: "They can only be peripheral workers, you can rest assured, we will also provide them with clothes, boots and two meals a day, but their treatment is not comparable to that of the core members." ”
Megill didn't hesitate any longer: "Okay, then let's start the ritual you said." ”
Megill was amazed to see the oddly shaped dagger slicing through his skin and sucking all the blood into the blade.
Immediately after that, the tea powder was seen placing the dagger on the helmet of the idol, and drops of blood fell into the stamp......
Finally, he had to imprint the blood-stained stamp on his head, and Megill almost thought that he had accidentally entered some cult.
When everything was done, Megill stretched her body and didn't notice anything unusual.
"Mamba, is that the end of it?" Megill asked, "Now I'm one of you?" This is a little different from what she thought, believing in the so-called "Lord", it seems that there is no difference from before.
Mamba nodded meaningfully: "Welcome to the team of the 'Journey to the Underworld', from now on, you are a person of the Lord, just like me." ”
