Chapter 638: Releasing the News
It is known that the country of Lou Baole needs good people, and Fran, who is suspected of being a good person, is now hired as a researcher at the Royal Academy, and the old man of the bone fish who is really hammering the bad guy is sentenced to death. Then for the remaining necromancers, the direction is clear.
It's just a question of how to tell the other side and convince the other side that he's a good person, and it's not something that can be done overnight. Everyone is an adult, and they will not be grateful for helping once, but if there is a long process, it will be different.
is now in the early stage of foreshadowing, so let's give Kevin a wake-up call, and subtly let the other party feel his kindness. When the necromancer meets Kevin years later, he can bring these things up and say, "Ah, I was the one who sent you the letter back then." What a risk I had, how much suffering I went through to send this anonymous letter......"
Kevin must have been very moved: "Ah, it turned out to be you. I'm glad I had you, otherwise I wouldn't have seen my mother......"
But what's more embarrassing is that these six wizard chiefs are not stupid. Even if you don't react at the meeting, you can definitely figure it out when you think about it. Kidnapping by yourself can only be cheaper for others. As a result, everyone reminds Kevin that someone is about to kidnap your mother, but no one actually does it......
However, there is indeed a practical factor for the necromancers to do this. Not all necromancers live to the end of their lives, even if they don't get exposed. The people of the empire do not raise such a group of people for idle food. That's to produce results and to contribute.
There is no such thing as retirement for necromancers, there is no such thing as integration into society. What if a necromancer who has exhausted his creativity and really has no talent? This has been repeated over the course of hundreds of years.
Some people are old, lazy, and fruitless, and the empire has no tradition of providing for necromancers, and a new batch will come in immediately. Fresh blood from scratch. Of course, the people of the empire will not explicitly say: "You have no value, you can die." "It's usually about making excuses, looking for mistakes, like who's exposed.
For necromancers, exposure naturally has to be removed. This is very reasonable even for your own people. But the violence is not exposed, and it is basically the imperial people who have the final say.
After a long time, maybe those necromancers at the bottom are still unclear, but as the six wizards at the top, of course, they are like a mirror. Sometimes, even they themselves will find similar excuses to get rid of some of their subordinates.
The empire does not plan to expand the necromancer research team, does not plan to let them enter the society, and wants results, and limits them to the sixth order spiritual power, so it is only a matter of time before the butcher knife falls on the head of the wizard. However, the empire does not kill all the wizards at once, and usually replaces them gradually.
Kill a few, keep a few, some are lucky or really level, and can stay all the time, which is also a way to save your life. If you understand this, then there are two ways, find a way to run away, or encourage others to make mistakes, and then report others. If the Empire kills a few who make mistakes, there is a high probability that they will be left behind.
These two paths do not conflict and can even be taken at the same time. And Kevin has become a breakthrough point in the eyes of these necromancers, his strength is not strong, and he will not be killed directly. At the same time, he felt that he could speak, and he had been in contact with the necromancer many times, without the resistance of ordinary people. In the end, he seems to be the official force of Lou Baole State, at least not under the Empire, and he will not join forces with the Empire in the short term.
The necromancer has no connections, and is watched all day long. It is not so easy to find connections that can give them a new home.
All of these actions are as dangerous as walking a tightrope. It is not easy to send an anonymous letter when almost the whole process is being monitored. However, the wizard chiefs also have a vote of subordinates, and there are many dead ghosts. Even if the Imperial people intercept the letter, it can be counted as a personal act of his subordinates, and they can be used to block it for the dead ghost.
Here, Kevin received six letters in a row, and waited for a few more days, and no more letters came. On the other hand, my mother's reply also came, and she was indeed fine, and it was said that she was watching penguins in Antarctica. Kevin replied with some attention to his body and so on, and didn't say anything more.
However, the strange things around Kevin began to gradually increase. First, I saw some strange words in the comment area from time to time, and then there was a sentence on the Internet, which was completely endless. But because the number is small and it's online, Kevin doesn't care much. After all, anyone can access the Internet.
But once, when Kevin was passing by the barbecue stand, the stall owner suddenly stopped him: "You're Kevin, aren't you?"
Kevin was surprised, but still nodded: "Yes." ”
The stall owner coughed dryly twice, and his expression became serious: "Darkness or something, light or something, you know?"
"What?" Kevin was dazed.
"Don't you understand?" replied the stall owner, "I don't understand either, I thought you did." ”
"What are you talking about?" Kevin was even more confused.
"Actually, someone gave me a few dollars to say a line when you were passing by. The stall owner explained.
"What's that line?" Kevin asked.
"I don't know, I forgot," the stall owner replied calmly, "I'm not an actor, I can't remember more than two lines." ”
Kevin: "......"
"Anyway, I have the money, don't ask him what he looks like, I forgot about it. The stall owner replied naturally, then turned his head and began to greet the other guests. The other guests looked at this scene curiously, and some people used their brains: "Could it be a girlfriend? Hahaha......"
Kevin shook his head and walked away quickly. Vaguely feeling that things might not be simple, he made the crow stare at the stall owner while he began to search on the Internet.
As a result, there was still no substantial progress, and the crow stared at the stall owner all night, but found nothing unusual. Kevin himself found countless strange words on the Internet, and it was really difficult to tell which one it was.
And at this stall, Starter actually came in person. Straight to the point, Stat threw out four letters and asked directly, "Is this what you did?"
Kevin was stunned and hurriedly opened the letter. I saw two letters that said "Someone is about to kidnap you, it is recommended to go abroad for refuge", and the other two letters are "Someone is about to kidnap you, it is recommended not to go abroad." ”
Kevin studied for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Only four?"
Start was at a loss: "Then how many do you want?"
"Hehe, I received six letters, and you're still too weak. Kevin looked smug and took out the letters.
Starter was speechless for a moment, but he lowered his head to study. The letters and notes are all printed, the paper is ordinary, the ink is ordinary, and it is extremely difficult to try to trace them backwards.
"I thought the Assassins were doing their homework again," Statt began, "but when I think about it, there is no laughing point on the letter this time, and it doesn't feel like someone you sent." ”
Kevin was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but self-examine: "Is my style so obvious? ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, two letters let me go abroad, two letters let me not go abroad, what should I do?" asked Stadt.
"Going abroad doesn't say where you're going," Kevin thought for a moment, "Is there anything you have to go to in the near future?"
"No," replied Stadt, "he doesn't plan to go abroad anytime soon." My employees are starting to get scared and get into trouble every time they go abroad. ”
Kevin was silent for a moment, but still shook his head: "There is too little information at the moment, and there are many possibilities. However, the domestic safety factor is definitely higher than that of foreign countries. I'd better stay in the country. ”
Start nodded, and couldn't help but guess: "You have six, I have four...... Does that mean that the remaining two who didn't send the letter are really preparing to kidnap me?"
"There are many possibilities, but there is no conclusion at the moment. The same person can send multiple anonymous letters, and maybe even six letters are sent by one person. It's also possible to direct and act yourself," Kevin replied, "It's a lot like a trouble-making operation against the Troublemakers." ”
Starter couldn't help but smile: "Then you're up for the challenge." ”
Kevin sighed: "It's a pity it's not the time! At present, our plan is to send a few heads first, and we have to win openly and secretly." At present, it is really unplanned to deal with them. Anyway, I'm not going to pay too much attention to it for the time being, and I can't be led by others. ”
Starter nodded, "That's right." But...... You can also try to put out some messages and see how the other person reacts?"
Kevin nodded in agreement, but still asked, "So what kind of message should I release?"
This made the two of them entangled for a while, they didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, they said strange things, sent letters reminding of kidnapping, and they were not like ordinary people when they were cautious. So what kind of message should be released in response?
Eventually, Kevin had an idea and simply kicked the question to the other party again, and he decided to release a message of "What should I post?".
