Chapter 1677: Mortal Sin
Does the offender have a normal sense of morality?
The answer is actually yes. Because the education and social atmosphere of a society from childhood to adulthood have their own tendencies, they will not deviate too far.
However, different growth environments will raise different people because of adaptation problems.
Whether they ask the petty thieves or the people who sell flour for protection money, do they know that what they are doing is a crime. In fact, these people still know, but they will use various reasons to explain that they are forced to embark on such a road.
This is the psychology of most offenders: it is not my fault that I am sinning, it is because of other people's fault, or because of the circumstances.
What do rapists say? The woman dressed too seductively tempted me to sin.
What do fraudsters say? I couldn't find a good job where I could make a lot of money, so I had to go down the road of deception in order to make a good living. And I'm all about deceiving the bad guys and helping the poor. Don't you understand how to rob the rich and help the poor? Rob the rich and give relief to me, a poor man.
What do murderers say? The man provoked me and provoked me to be angry and delirious. In a state of confusion, it just happened. I don't know why this happened. Let's say that killing people with neuropathy is not a crime.
In short, say a thousand, say ten thousand, and know that what you are doing is wrong. But to investigate the reason, the fault is on others, I took the blame because I did it, very pitiful. As long as they are given a chance to jump out, who will sin.
Otherwise, it is psychopathic, who wants to find the pleasure of breaking the rules from the behavior that others do not allow.
Like kleptomania, exhibitionism, and even some mad murderers. How can they not know what they are doing, but they are indulging themselves.
So here's the point. In the Yi Market, the reason why demons tend to trade living things is because living things have souls. Even the souls of stupid animals like pigs, cows, and sheep that die in pain are a good snack for demons.
The soul of Homo sapiens is certainly better! Because with a wise soul, the extra condiment has a deviant guilt in addition to the taste of pain. Then the best souls are, of course, those who have fallen deep into the dark side.
Those who sell their livestock will certainly not feel any guilt. In the fascination of these years, there is no Buddhism that travels through the hometowns of many people, and the matter of killing is infinitely high.
If you want to deprive yourself of life, eating meat and vegetarian food is eating, and it is strange to have a sense of discrimination. Therefore, in primitive Buddhism, what is emphasized is the convenience of fasting without killing with one's own hands, not seeing killing, and not killing for oneself. I don't care about the difference between lacto-vegetarian, lacto-ovo vegetarian and vegan.
But when it comes to selling people, it's not the same thing at all.
Basically, there are no slaves allowed in the current mysteries, let alone the kind that sends people into the fire pit and cannot be reborn forever. But Big John did it under the temptation of the devil.
The Magic Tower doesn't interfere in this kind of thing; The management of other forces, up to the restrictions on the conversion of houses in the city, and disputes between merchants. Before John the Great, no one was aware that there was also a problem with the 'commodity' category, and there was no governing convention to bind it.
Moreover, Big John is a person from the Sulitan Empire, and only the people of the empire come forward to control his behavior, and others do not have such power and courage.
The Sulitão Empire itself was forced to agree to the abolition of slavery under the general trend. The people at the bottom do this, they all turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and they don't really stop it.
In particular, the newly appointed Khan King in the south is struggling with the integration of various tribes in the south. John took advantage of this opportunity to show his loyalty and give money. How much the new Khan King must think about it to add resistance to his rule.
It can be said that under the right time, the right place, and the right people, Big John became the first person to eat crabs and earned a lot of wealth. Under the support of the devil, it gathered a general trend and became a tyrant in Yi City.
During this period, if the humans in Yi City had any problems, they would come to him to mediate. Because the demons all sell big John's face, even if there are a few heads, they can find other demons to come forward and force them.
Let's just say that Big John travels in Yi City, and there are demons by his side, whether this card is big enough.
And after people have money to keep up with the situation, they will want to seek power. Therefore, Great John intends to follow the example of the city and set up a management class similar to the city council to integrate the chaotic Yi City.
It's just that although he is in the name of forming a council, he actually only intends to find a demon as a representative, and he himself is the representative of the human race. In this way, the two major ethnic groups representing Yi City are managing this emerging city.
Big John also believed that with his own face among demons, that demon representative was like a puppet in his hands. In the end, the power of the city will surely be firmly in its own hands.
Then the next step is to find a way to force the magic tower and bring the tower master under his command. Once this is done, you will be able to think about plotting to seize control of the Lost Side Shield City. The goal is to control two cities and two magic towers.
In the early days of the creation of the two cities, people from all walks of life developed savagely. With money and the help of demons, Big John was at the forefront for a while.
Even if he did not have a noble title, some minor nobles could not stand up in front of him in order to buy and sell. At most, let the family come forward, and don't go to yourself to talk about it.
On the eve of Big John's imminent election as mayor of Yi City, a contract signed with the devil pits him into a catastrophe. Because the project traded in the contract is Big John's own soul, and it will be delivered immediately!
A depraved and sinful soul is pulled down the moment before it reaches the pinnacle of life, or betrayed by a trusted demon, and the pain in its heart is inflicted on the flesh tenfold, a hundredfold.
According to those who witnessed the demons take John away, he was a wealthy merchant at that time, but even blood and tears flowed out. In the wailing sound like killing pigs, he was dragged out of the range of Yi City, and there was no more news.
…… If you don't kill or injure people within the city limits, the Magic Tower won't interfere. The only exception is the shackles of the soul contract signed between humans and demons.
As one of the tower owners said, the magic tower doesn't protect fools.
Afterwards, the human side learned that the situation of Great John was completely a game done by the devil. The trader not only became famous, but even let everyone know that there was still a predator in Yi City.
The evil god of the abyss, the big-eyed demon Milko. It is said that through this battle, he gained many more believers in the abyss. And that dark fallen soul made it break through on the spot, and its strength was a cut higher out of thin air.
In the past, people thought that the demons operating in Yi City were intimidated by the power of the magic tower, so those really powerful demons would not come to join in the fun, so as not to be confused by the magic tower. The people who came were demons who had been oppressed in other places and couldn't survive.
There is no way, who calls the abyss, the rules of the game are that demons rely on brute force in internal fighting, and intelligence in external fighting.
There are always some clever muscles that are not strong enough, and in the past, these demons were the nourishment of other demons. Now there is a place where killing is forbidden, so that they have the opportunity to show their talents, and this is not a rush.
I didn't expect those real predators to come. And it was silent, and as soon as he appeared on the stage, the most famous person on the human side was killed and killed.
It was also this time that the human side understood the routines of the demons. Don't think that if you trade with the devil, the devil will only be interested in the goods in the hands of these merchants. The businessman himself who came forward was also targeted by the devil.
If you are tempted by the devil and fattened, sooner or later you will be slaughtered. This is the way of the Great, blinded by his own greed, and thinking that the obedience of the devil is sincere, and he starts a business that the world does not tolerate.
It was this business of selling human lives that became his own talisman. Others can't help even if they want to. Not to mention that in order to seek a position of power, Big John relied on the devil as a backer, and all kinds of ugly faces had already offended people, who would be willing to help.
After staying in Yi City for more than a year, Jike didn't understand why the tower master didn't care about what happened to humans. Is he really so indifferent to his own kind, or is he himself biased towards the evil camp?
The rumors of collusion between the tower master and the demon have not been broken until now.
However, such a question was brought to the meeting of the Brotherhood, and everyone brainstormed and discussed it, and they understood the calculation.
Although the demon is in Yi City, it is not completely undamaged, or he has lost himself and become a slave of mankind. But on the whole, it is the human side that has lost more.
Under such circumstances, if other demons wanted to use violence to attack the tower, cross the abyss gate again, and invade the mazeland, would these demons who are now stationed in Yi City agree?
So compared to going to war again, regardless of whether the Magic Tower factor is taken into account or not, which is more important than the current situation?
If there is no option to sever the connection between the two parties, and the owner of the magic tower does not want to fully take on the responsibility of stopping the demons, then among the limited options, the status quo is indeed the least damaging option.
Those who have been pitted, who is not stupid themselves, blinded by greed. This is because it is the devil who pits them, so it makes people feel that something is not right. If this is fascinated by other scammers, most of them are also 'deserved'.
However, in this discussion, the Brotherhood reaffirmed the fact that the magician was not bad, but he was lazy. And in order to be lazy for yourself, you will spare no effort to dump the blame on others.
Even for more than a year, the magician didn't move. That's the best news.
It is said that the people who stay in the Twin Towers of the Sect are not all to make that little money. They also have the duty to keep an eye on the local area and alert the rest of the Brotherhood to any anomalies.
It's hard to say which is more important. But since it's a mission released by Ezio, everyone can do it easily, and of course they won't refuse.
Just as Jik was thinking, he arrived at his destination. Although Yi City is built in the abyss, its layout and house structure are the same as those of the shield city on the side of the mistery. The structure and size of the house were not changed specifically for the sake of the demon's size.
So Jike pushed the door open and saw the demon smoking more than a dozen cigarettes inside.
It is said that paper cigarettes are very special, the tobacco comes from the fascination, but the cigarettes are produced in the abyss. I heard that it is still a special product on this eye demon territory, and it is one of the most popular commodities in Yishi.
When Jike saw the demon, he didn't dare to be arrogant at all, but said respectfully: "Your Majesty Milko, I have sent a few transaction coordination documents from the Yi City Chamber of Commerce. ”
