Chapter 701 Four Different Ways to Conquer
The Silent Plane.
In the white Duke's mansion, the manor of the Duke of Brisenotte, the young and pale Duke Brisenotte carefully asked the housekeeper to present a certificate of factory property rights to the Smith wizard and the girl priest.
The Duke of Brisenotte coughed weakly, while his eyes were shining. "This is an industry that I can donate to you. There are about one hundred thousand landless workers in these industries."
"Their farmland has been expropriated, so they can only work in factories, and they can be used by you. But my noble master, can my illness really be cured?"
The weak Duke moved his exquisite handkerchief away from his face, and saw blood coughing out from the handkerchief.
The Duke was evidently suffering from a terminal illness for which there was no cure in this world.
No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you have, in this situation, they become useless.
· Wizard Smith did not look at the property rights certificates, but threw them to the young priest, and then said: "One hundred thousand people are not enough, I need more. I want 1.5 million people! This is just the minimum."
· The Duke of Brissennot looked at Wizard Smith longingly: "I can find a way to meet your request, but you must allow me to live."
· Wizard Smith looked contemptuously. "Of course, it's very simple. You only need to capture your body by the power of my meteor and turn it into my servant race."
A week later, Locke, his girl priest, the gunslinger, and the believers appeared in the imperial capital.
Locke was sitting leisurely on a stool in the villa, reading a newspaper under the bright sunshine.
The newspapers in this world are just the mouthpieces of the emperor.
· In the newspaper, there were two messages: the first province was in rebellion, and the empire would use all its strength to suppress the rebellious province.
The rebel province is the province where Wizard Edgar is located.
Edgar seems to have gone directly to the governor's palace of that province, took control of that province, and confronted the empire head-on, directly taking over the world by force.
Second, the emperor announced that he would add an inspection examination this year and increase the rights of inspections, adding at least 17 crucial rights to the inspection system.
Locke looked at the seventeen rights in the newspaper. There was one right that was hidden among the other rights, which was the right to rearm.
What is the right to rearm?
What is said above is unclear.
But Locke expected that this so-called right to rearm should be the emperor's right to let them learn the real power system of this world.
"The design of this inspection system is quite interesting." Locke said: "The inspection examination collects talented and lucky people in this plane. Because those who can get high scores in the exam are either talented or lucky."
"An exam to collect talents from this world. These people are all the total amount of magic pressure flowing in the emperor's spiritual network." Locke said: "I didn't expect that there is such a power system among the indigenous people."
h On this one."
"The current system is like a tree without roots. Secondly, too many private goods have been added to this system. However, I can learn from the parts that I think are good." Locke thought: "Maybe this is not the emperor's original creation, but he just used it."
Locke looked at the contents of the newspaper, and he could also feel the pressure and chaos of this world.
Because Edgar played his cards clearly, it aroused the emperor's vigorous suppression and full-scale attack.
It was just a rebellion in one province at first, but later the emperor forcefully suppressed the rebellion. After the rebellion was completed, Edgar traveled to other provinces, triggering rebellions, which were then suppressed by the emperor.
Now, he went round and round and returned to the rebel province where he started, and launched another rebellion.
Locke's eyes were strange. "Edgar, what are you thinking about? Your total magic pressure is constantly declining, which shows that your actions are walking a tightrope. Why do you put yourself in this predicament at the beginning of the game?"
"Obviously at the beginning of the game, the emperor has the highest total magic pressure. But as long as time is delayed, the emperor's magic pressure will decrease."
"Why did you start a war against the emperor directly from the beginning?"
That's right. For some reason, Locke clearly noticed that the magic pressure of the emperor's spiritual network system was constantly declining.
Just because another inspection examination was held to collect talents from all over the world to join the psychic network system and become inspectors, the total amount of magic pressure in the emperor's psychic network system barely increased.
This may have something to do with the end of the world.
It's just that Locke and other contestants have just entered this world. Their current main goal is to build a huge magic as soon as possible and prevent themselves from being eliminated at the beginning. Therefore, everyone's main focus for the time being is on fighting with the emperor.
Undoubtedly, so far, the emperor, the indigenous spiritual network, has become a common obstacle for the four contestants.
No matter who he or she wants to do, they are all hampered by the presence of the emperor.
Had it not been for the existence of the emperor's spiritual network, Locke would not have to hide his great magic and could make his moon appear directly in the sky of this world.
"No matter what, we must first deal with the emperor's threat." Locke thought.
At this time, in the room where Locke was, there were many people from the imperial capital who had just been drawn into the religious order established by Locke. They were studying the classics.
The girl priest and other original believers were teaching them, while the gunslinger was leaning against the wall, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly there was a rough knock on the door.
"Open the door, the inspector is here to investigate."
Soon, an inspector wearing a scarlet woolen double-breasted coat kicked open the door. He obviously had a similar power in the direction of the psychic magic sub-direction of the Psychic School, and a blue energy light flashed from time to time in his eyes.
The inspector swept viciously through the house. "Who is in charge here? Are you crazy for daring to preach in the imperial capital?"
h "You are said to have won over thousands of people in the imperial capital within a week."
h "Who gave you permission to do this?"
h The inspector looked at the girl priest, whose limbs were obviously stiff.
The believers looked at the inspector with horror on their faces. They beheaded them first and then punished them. It was for the inspection.
Inspectors have all the power in this world.
Locke stood up, put down the newspaper, and then looked at the inspector with a calm expression. "Preaching? We don't have one?"
The inspector looked at Locke with an unkind expression. "No? Then why are you gathering so many people here?"
Locke nodded. "These people are the ringleaders. They learn here and then go to other places to tell other people."
The inspector's eyes flashed with anger and he slammed the table. "What did you say!"
"Arrogant! You will be punished today. You dare to preach in front of my inspector!"
The inspector raised a musket on his belt.
Loke looked at him calmly. "I said, I did not preach."
The inspector angrily pointed to the books in the hands of the believers and said, "You are still quibbling. So what are those books?"
Locke asked a believer to open a book and read out the first page. The man looked crazy and said with great excitement: "The book says that it was the current emperor who invented the steam engine. , which liberated our productivity, so we can enjoy so many industrial products today. "
"The book says that His Majesty the Emperor invented the electric light, so we can light up at night. The book says that His Majesty the Emperor invented the bicycle..."
The believers are worshiping each other, and this world has a serious tendency to worship the emperor.
Furthermore, the emperor deliberately allowed the people to worship him, and even took the initiative to secretly cultivate some groups that worshiped him personally.
Hence, people in this world generally worship the emperor.
· At this moment, the eyes of those believers were all bright, "His Majesty the Emperor invented everything in this world. All of us are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."
· The believers stood up from their stools and shouted in unison: "Loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" "His Majesty the Emperor has done so many good things, and we didn't even know it before. We used to blame His Majesty the Emperor for letting us not have enough to eat, not wear warm clothes, and had to sleep on the street. Now we know that we were too stupid."
"His Majesty the Emperor is building a world in the future where everyone can live a good life and everyone can see green mountains and green waters."
The believers shouted in unison: "Loyalty!"
Locke looked at the inspector calmly, and the inspector suppressed his blush. With suspicious eyes, he quickly raised his right hand and shouted: "Loyalty!"
The inspector seemed to be disbelieving. He checked their books and confirmed that they were full of personal worship of the emperor, but there were many outrageous things, all of which were placed on the emperor.
The inspector felt relieved and looked at Locke and others with a hint of respect. He said softly, "So that's it. You are not preaching, you are preaching the truth."
"This society is always very tolerant of the truth. But you have to be more sensible. Although His Majesty the Emperor is of course great, you should not affect the traffic."
"Yesterday, you paraded on the street and affected the traffic, so you were reported."
The girl priest said quickly: "Okay. Sir Inspector."
The inspector thought for a moment. , said: "Let me also join this great cause. I also feel that the current society's worship of His Majesty the Emperor is really not enough. I also want to introduce some of my friends to join..."
…...
After the inspector left, the gunslinger looked at Locke in confusion and said: "What exactly do you want to do? Did you enter this world to help the emperor and help him stabilize his rule?"
Locke sat in a chair, flipping through the book of this world in his hand. "Although it seems like this, our spread is very fast. In just one week, at least hundreds of thousands of people have read our book, and the inspectors did not dare to embarrass us without the emperor's instructions. Instead, they could only help us overtly and covertly."
< br/> "The emperor is fighting on the front line and has no energy to focus on the rear."
Locke smiled and said: "No, he should not dare to care about me now, and he even thinks he is lucky."
The gunslinger looked confused.
…
At this time, in the rebel province of the Silent Plane, wherever the emperor goes, there is the Emperor's Hall.
In the Emperor's Hall that had just been moved from this rebel province, the emperor sat on the Iron Throne, his whole body covered in a steel armor, and scarlet light emitted from the eye sockets of the helmet.
He used an angry voice to question the senior inspector in front of him. "Why isn't the rebellion over yet?"
The senior inspector general saluted the emperor. "Your Majesty, the rebellion was quickly suppressed. It was just a group of rabble. But the source of the rebellion slipped between provinces and tangled up the rabble again. After we suppressed those people, they actually returned to this province."
"We have killed many rebellious officials and traitors. Your Majesty, please give us some more time to supervise..."
“Those traitors are just chickens and dogs, and they cannot be enemies of our inspectors. Especially after you have granted those inspectors the ability to learn strength.”
The senior inspector commander said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, our power is still overwhelmingly strong. I have laid a dragnet in the province, coupled with the third-level gene-locked inspectors you have irrigated with your spiritual network. "
"This time, we will completely suppress the rebellion."
At this time, the sky in the entire Silent Plane suddenly turned black, as if a dark world had descended, and everyone was unable to see.
The next moment, a meteor came from outside the sky and fell to the earth.
The meteor hit directly towards the imperial capital and fell towards the imperial palace. In just an instant, the imperial palace was razed to the ground and the earth trembled.
Then, came the second meteor, and the third meteor appeared...
As the number of star prayers increased and the secret spell of praying for stars was completed, the sky of this world finally welcomed the comet plane from the star realm.
As the three comets' ultra-small planes descended into this world, the total amount of magic pressure in this world actually increased, which in turn reduced the emperor's control and suppression of this world.
The will of the world, which has been suppressed by the emperor for a long time, is about to move, and there are signs of recovery and reawakening.
The emperor in iron armor raised his right hand directly. "Power from outside? I don't need it."
"Another rebellious minister and traitor."
At this time, the spiritual network with the imperial capital as the core opened up, forming a large net in the sky, temporarily blocking the stars falling from the sky.
Not only that, the emperor also caught the clues of those praying for stars and directly used a psychic shock in that direction.
Humbling was heard, and a Star Prayer factory collapsed due to the psychic blast. At the same time, a large number of ordinary workers died in the collapsed factory.
In the restaurant not far away, Wizard Smith and the big nobles and entrepreneurs he had won over were enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
Wizard Smith opened a piece of baked lobster tail as the main meal, picked up the knife and fork, and said: "Thank you for your cooperation. It's just that I need more and more people..."
"Just such a small number of people is not enough."
Those big nobles and big entrepreneurs who were attracted by him all nodded as if to please.
Wizard Smith was extremely proud and enjoyed the delicious meal. "Unexpectedly, this competition went more smoothly than I thought. Among the four contestants now, the total amount of magic pressure of my maximum magic increases sharply every day. The total amount of magic pressure of Edgar and Georgina's maximum magic decreases every day. But there is no progress change on Locke's side. "Locke, I have long said that you will regret lending me the Apocalypse Wizard Stone to help me perfect and upgrade my maximum magic. Next, I only need to use these natives to completely complete the construction of my maximum magic."
"I won this game. The emperor was really in the way. Without him, everything I do would be smoother."
While Wizard Smith was enjoying the food, he heard the natives of this world suddenly running over to report that an inspector was about to rush into the venue to investigate them.
The faces of the nobles present, especially the most powerful Duke of Brissennot, suddenly darkened. "Inspectors, didn't you notice that I am having dinner with all the adults?"
"Ask the inspectors not to disturb us."
"It's too late." An inspector kicked in the door directly, and the inspector looked coldly at this group of nobles and entrepreneurs. "How dare you gather together so openly without His Majesty the Emperor's orders. What do you want to do?"
The inspector raised his musket and fired at the dining table. Suddenly, the porcelain plate was hit by the musket bullets and suddenly cracked.
It was broken all over the ground.
There were screaming people everywhere.
Wizard Smith wiped his mouth with a napkin, a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "Kill him. It's just a dog of the native emperor. I think after you kill him, you should be able to hide the news."
The inspector's eyes were domineering, and he immediately pointed his gun at Wizard Smith, "What did you say."
The next moment, a noble thug suddenly sneaked up and inserted a knife into his throat, and his blood suddenly overflowed.
Wizard Smith smiled: "In this way, you will become people in the same boat."
…
At the same time, Georgina Witch's charity society was also very successful.
Because clothes are given out for free and can withstand cold and dampness after wearing them, residents in all major provinces of the empire are vying to join charity societies and receive free clothes.
For a time, major charity associations spread all over the major provinces in a very short period of time.
Because the inspectors wanted to investigate the Charity Association, a conflict arose. During the conflict, an inspector died in the Charity Association. Therefore, a conflict quickly formed between the inspectors and the civilians under the Charity Association.
For a time, the zombie society, which was originally under the emperor's high-pressure rule, turned out to be contrary to the whole world.
Those problems that were originally suppressed were all revealed under external shocks.
At this time, in the rebel province, the emperor looked back at the spiritual network behind him. At this time, his spiritual network began to decrease in the total amount of magic pressure due to the shake of the empire.
He must go back to suppress the rebellion. He must deal with the Charity Association, the force that summoned the stars, and the forces in open rebellion in front of him.
It was only at this time that he discovered that a force had actually helped him stabilize his mental network, which was continuously reducing the total amount of magic pressure.
What is that?
The emperor ordered people to come over and inquire, and then he determined that there were several quasi-religious groups that promoted his personal worship in the imperial capital.
Obviously, it was the emergence of these groups that stabilized the total amount of magic pressure in his psychic network and continued to decrease.
The emperor under the cold armor gave out a chilling sneer. "Rebellious ministers and traitors always think that I am a loner, but they cannot understand the world and how this country operates."
"Order an inspection and enter a state of war. Any suspicious objects can be directly treated as traitors."
h But those who are loyal to me will be rewarded. Send my order to reward the groups that spread their faith in me in the imperial capital, and send funds to let them integrate their worship of me and spread it to all major cities in the country."
"Quickly," the emperor said.
The senior inspector said: "I obey, Your Majesty."
After he left, the emperor under the cold armor spoke a cold word. "I am the world, I am civilization, I am the country."
"I do not allow anyone who betrays me to exist."
He raised his right hand and saw a spiritual lightning storm covering the rebel province, and a large number of mortals in the province died directly.
Especially mortals cannot understand psychic lightning storms, so in the eyes of others, these people seem to have died suddenly.
The emperor no longer cared about involving ordinary people, so he directly killed the people in that area in an instant.
At the same time, the inspectors rushed into the area and began to search for those survivors who were still alive, aiming to completely annihilate them.
This plan is called the regional annihilation plan.
Let there be no living thing alive in this area. This is the emperor's answer to the rebellion!
Three days later, the rebel province was littered with corpses.
The senior inspector returned to the Emperor's Hall and reported the situation to him.
The emperor said: "Well done. The rebellion is finally over and we can go back. At the same time, immediately cut off the delivery of food to the three provinces where charity organizations are most active, and disguise all the food in the provinces as commodities and send them out of those three provinces."
"As for those who summoned the stars..."
A senior inspector said: "My people have found out that those people may be related to the powerful people in our country. Does Your Majesty want to forgive them because they are powerful people?"
The emperor said: "In this world, I am the only powerful person. The others are just parasites that I have not found a reason to get rid of for the time being." Collect their property."
A row of inspectors in front of him suddenly stepped forward, "I obey, Your Majesty."
For a time, the emperor's inspectors were waiting for the opportunity to move and suppressed everywhere.
Whether it is Wizard Smith, Witch Georgina, or Wizard Edgar, they all feel that the emperor is an obstacle at this moment.
Only Locke, who was enjoying the meticulous reception from the senior inspectors in the imperial capital, felt that the emperor was really kind.
Not only did he help him attract at least one-third of the people in the empire into his religious order in a short period of time, but he also allowed senior officials to entertain him, and even gave him an official position, making him a senior inspector.
A senior inspector commander said respectfully to Locke: "The emperor said that you have done well recently. Now, you will be granted the position of chief inspector of the Inspection Office."
Locke asked curiously: "Is this an official?"
The senior inspector commander shook his head slightly and said : "Big. Very big. It originally required multiple rounds of exams and rigorous selection to get this position. But in order to reward your contribution, His Majesty the Emperor directly gave you this position."
"The Chief Inspector is one of the largest officials in the inspection system. As big as it is, there are only two in the entire inspection system."
Locke nodded slightly. It was probably an honorary position, with a very high position but no real power.
It is a common thing that is used in lip service but not in practice.
It’s just that I really need this thing.
