"I don't think it's a good idea. After a short moment, Ashruphat replied.

"So, I don't think it's going to work. Let's take another approach. Carrie paused, wondering if she was thinking or trying to strengthen her tone. "You need a manager!"

Carrie said in a categorical tone.

"Do you know what the easiest way to rule is to buy the upper class and dominate the lower class. ”

"What does that mean?" Ashruphat didn't understand for a moment.

"In the Anthropocene, in addition to one or two main ethnic groups, there are also a large number of ethnic minorities in various countries. However, by now, there are very few people like the Binzu who still maintain their independence, and most of them have been absorbed into various countries. Although they still appear as a nation, they have in fact become part of the nation. And in order to dominate these minorities and prevent them from armed resistance, relying solely on the presence of troops, violent repression is not advisable because it means high military costs. The most common approach is to buy off the top and dominate the bottom. ”

"What do you mean......"

"You can't keep them locked up...... And there will be more and more of them. While I don't think you have to care about the lives of these mortals who are doomed to death, it looks like you won't listen to me. Well, my advice is that you need to have someone to manage them. And luckily, you have just one in your hands. ”

"You mean Scarlet?"

"Nope. Carrie replied. "Scarlet ...... How to put it, she is not an ordinary person anymore. Since the last time you gave her a lot of power, she's not an ordinary human. To be honest, she's a lot better than you in this regard, because she's quickly accepted it physically and mentally that this kind of person is not suitable for executive management. She can be used as an image, as a guard inside the castle, a symbol of force, to suppress all the dissent of people. But management is not simply relying on violence to suppress, so it is better for ordinary people to do this. ”

"So you mean, Léa?"

"Congratulations on finally finding the answer, master. According to my calculations, she's a good fit for the job. ”

Léa ......

It should be said that the first time we met, it was completely a relationship between the guest and the fortune teller. There were no special ideas, and the objective conditions at that time did not allow me to have any ideas. But he didn't expect her to appear in front of him like this for the second time. In a completely unprepared abrupt moment, wearing pajamas, he threw himself into his arms and cried.

The girl hugged him tightly and pressed against him with that look of dependence.

He subconsciously touched his lips with his hand. I don't know why, but the gentle touch of that kiss still lingers on his lips. That kind of fiery feelings and thoughts are pinned on that kiss and conveyed directly to the heart. Although I still don't understand it, the feeling is like realizing from the depths of my soul that it is not a performance, and there is no hypocrisy.

The girl had foreseen her fate at that time of divination, so since that time, she has been waiting, thinking, and looking forward to it.

Do you have the ability to respond to this feeling? Ashrufar seemed to hear a voice in his heart ask coldly.

A metal ball floated in front of it. Ashrufat recognized this as a "gravity-defying mechanical transporter", and it was with these things that Carrie was able to turn the place from the inside out into a real castle to live in.

"The host, I found a little surprise. Carrie said. It took a few seconds for Ashruphat to realize that it was not a voice coming from within his head, but a sound that was actually heard by his ears. "These things actually have a matching pronunciation device. ”

"Oh?"

"This means that I can talk to anyone within the confines of the castle as long as I want. Master, is that all right? You're not going to forbid me to speak, are you?"

"What's wrong with that? It's easier to talk and more convenient. Ashrufat replied. He knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for Carrie to reveal that her true body was hidden in Ashrufat's head, and it didn't matter what else she said.

He stopped as someone came out of the shadows. No, it's not quite appropriate to describe the scene in front of you. It should be said that one shadow broke away from the other shadows, came to the center of the aisle, and then turned into a crimson.

Although Ashrufat didn't understand what was going on, his intuition told him that Carrie's "biochemically transformed" Scarlet seemed to be far stronger than the one he killed.

The fire-haired girl stood in front of him with her head held high. Although she considers herself a slave girl, there are some wild and untamable qualities about her. Even now, in this way, there was no grovel expression on her face, and her face was raised haughtily, looking at him face to face.

"Master," Ashrufat could somehow feel as if she were gritting her teeth as she uttered the word. "One of the girls you locked up in the lower level is injured. Not because someone hurt her, but because she hurt herself. ”

"I got it. Ashrufat replied. "I already know about it. You handled it well. How is she now?"

"Temporarily asleep. Scarlet replied. "But I don't know what will happen to her when she wakes up. ”

Ashrufat stopped. "Is that so, that's fine. He turned to leave. But the moment he turned his head, he heard Scarlet's voice.

"Master, may I ask a question?"

"Just ask. Ashrufat didn't look back.

"I can tell that you don't really want to drink their blood. But if you don't want to hurt them, why are you keeping them here?" asked Scarlet in a seemingly calm voice.

"I have my reasons. Ashrufat replied.

"Did you just want to see her?" Scarlet asked again.

"Yes...... Scarlet, if this happens again...... You can find a way to ask her if she has a place to go back. If there is, send her back quietly. ”

"You don't look like a vampire at all. ”

"It's a pity that I am. Ashrufat replied. "I'm a vampire indeed. Do you mean I didn't suck blood? Actually, I couldn't last long. Sooner or later, the thirst in my throat will turn my sanity into a raging beast. ”

"Master, you shouldn't have been distracted by this little matter just now. Didn't Scarlet handle it well?" said Carrie grumbling in her mind. "Your time is precious, the war is about to begin, and some of your preparations have not been completed. ”

Ashrufat walked towards the study. There were a lot of books there, all of course, that he had gotten from the excavation site. There is a lot of Ashrufat that needs to be written. It must be said that the Church did take on the responsibility of being a "keeper of knowledge" and left a rich record. There are many records about the Bin, from their primitive worship to their customs.

Although he said that he was enlightened, he really didn't expect that the Bins would ally with the Ryan people so quickly and attack him. From this point of view, it is not surprising that the last time the Hama made such excessive demands, they were not sincere in the first place.

He took all his thoughts away from the trivial matter and focused on the urgent matter. There are various records, people, and other things about the Hama. He needs all of this, and tries to find information in it for his advantage or disadvantage.

If it were a different person, maybe he wouldn't have done this kind of thing. But Ashrufa had Carrie, and he only had to take the book and turn it page by page, and Carrie would automatically write down the contents of the book. It could even help him sift through accounts that would be helpful to the war. And he just flips through the book without thinking.

"Master, please pay attention to this account. In my mind, Carrie reminded. Ashrufat stopped flipping through the book. "This is the ancient deity of the Hama tribe, called the Lord of the Firmament. It is a god who dwells at the ends of the sky...... Here are its symbols and records...... Even though the belief in the gods of the Star Domain has become popular, there are still some people of the Binzu tribe who believe in this ancient god. I think this is a piece of intelligence that can be used. ”

"How?"

"I don't have a clue about this yet. But this thing is always more important. You go ahead and flip. ”

“......”

It took half a day to do this, and although Carrie sifted through some "useful" information from the books, it was nothing more than that. After reading all the books, there is nothing special to gain.

"It's mainly based on historical records and the like, and there are relatively few introductions to current people and events. Nothing can change the situation all at once. Carrie commented.

"How can there be such a good thing. Ashruphat replied in his mind. The information from Neil clearly shows that the forces of the three parties are actually combined. The Hama were in charge of the battle, while the Ryan provided them with some weapons and supplies, and the Church also intervened. If this aspect of the church is not surprising (as it was known the last time Ilan came), it is incomprehensible that the Hama and Ryan people are so easily able to settle old grievances. It turned out that Ashruphat thought he had at least a few months left.

"It may have been the gods of the Star Field, do you remember what Ylan said?" replied in her mind's eye. "It's easy to understand if it's a particular amount of force they're using. ”

"Well, it does. "To be honest, this strategy must have been conceived by Bayral - it should be said that such a creative idea for the Bins to attack Sivania is probably only something that someone like Bayer can come up with. However, at least one thing is certain, the Binds will definitely not let Bayrell be the general to command the army. In other words, in the future battlefield duel, his opponent should be someone else.
