Chapter 1413 What do you want to choose
"The war is getting worse and worse. Huh, I will be war mercenaries next, and they are almost cannon fodder." Green looked at the small village that was destroyed in the war, and the surviving residents looked at the burning small village with confusion. If they had not come in time, there would be no living people here... Oh, it would be impossible to destroy them all.
There will definitely be no resistance. The strong men will be taken away and sold. There are many places to employ people during the war. It is very useful to use these people as slave cannon fodder, and the price is also very cheap. Children have other uses, and women are beautiful and have higher value. People who can do things for these small villages are not just for the sake of killing.
Isn’t it better to plunder human trafficking than to simply kill?
Even some old, weak, sick and disabled can exchange a few gold coins from some cultists, and all they have to do is to pay some ropes and other things.
This is not the first time that Os and the others have solved this situation.
"Fortunately, the world has changed very quickly recently. There are many ways to resettle refugees like this." Garcia said in a solemn tone. For example, these refugees were difficult to resettle during the war, and basically no one wanted them. Of course, in order to prevent these refugees from being collected by others as cannon fodder, they were often massacred or other ways of dealing with them.
It's different now. Because of the new policy, civilians are very protected and human resources are very important. Even refugees can become good magic batteries. As for the name of magic batteries, it's a bit like that, but in fact it's completely better to be refugees in the past.
Refugees also have the opportunity to get a Soul Gem loan, provided that they are young enough and have no hidden dangers. Of course, the part that needs to be returned to their Soul Gem loans is much more than that of ordinary people. Ordinary people use the lowest level Soul Gem, even if they use the worst way to arrange resources, they can guarantee that they will be paid within ten years. For refugees, it takes about thirty years.
This cannot be said to be exploiting refugees, but in the past, refugees would not have been regarded as ordinary people at all. Not to mention civilians, even poor people look down on refugees. Soul gem loans are divided into several levels. Civilians are the standard ten-year choice. Of course, they can choose longer, but there is no need. The poor people choose twice or more of their identities. As for refugees... To be honest, it is already quite good to tie them for thirty years.
At least they still have a way to survive. The way to live without being threatened is to lose a certain degree of freedom. After all, after signing that kind of soul gem loan, in order to ensure that they can obtain enough magical benefits, the power and lenders cannot let such refugees appear in some areas beyond their control, and they can only act within a certain range within thirty years.
To be honest, this is much better than before. They just lost a certain degree of freedom. As long as they work hard enough, they may not be able to repay the Soul Gem loan in advance. At the same time, they can still do some things they like in limited freedom, so it is not difficult to resettle refugees. After this small village was affected by the war, the ones that are currently staying are basically the stronger ones.
"You come with us, we will send you to a safe place, and of course we will get the corresponding rewards when we arrive there." Green walked to the front of the group of refugees with his own bow and arrow, looking at the uneasy refugees and said, "You must know that although you have become refugees, you are still treasures in the eyes of some people in power."
"...Mao, Lord Adventurer, aren't you going to give us to the cultists?"
"There is no need. If you really want to give you to the cultists, it would be enough to make a bloody sacrifice on the spot. Or do you think you are valuable?" Green took out a magic stone coin and threw it in his hand. Although it was a one-sided magic stone coin, the magic stone coin had been popular for a long time. Originally, these refugees had no chance to get in touch with the magic stone coin.
But they have heard from some adventurers or mercenaries that a magic stone coin with the lowest value can reach a hundred gold coins! The huge sums they will never be able to come into contact with in their entire lives. Most of the people present don’t know what the magic stone coin looks like, but some have seen it...
So the group of refugees fell silent. As for the idea of greed? Don’t think too much, they saw clearly that the robbers gathered outside the village were completely destroyed with one knife, and dozens of people were gone in one knife. Such powerful strength was simply not comparable to those professionals who often brag and spank.
There is nothing to say. This group of professionals is not the one who can make any idea. In short, they are full of fear for Os and others. With this level of fear, Os and others made arrangements for this group of refugees much easier. In addition to their current identities, it is quite easy to deal with this group of refugees. It doesn’t matter if there are too many people. Renting a large flatbed trailer is enough.
During the war, many people seized opportunities. A large trailer was a huge flat plate with some simple magical wheels under it. It could hold dozens of people in one breath. If you pull it up, the wheels were simple magical, and it was not heavy.
Good things that are good and cheap are mainly used to collect corpses on the battlefield.
It is also very suitable to recruit people.
"It's you again... Don't send people here next time. The number of people is close to saturation. I'll tell you another place." The registrant who received Os looked at Os and others and said with some emotion. If it were other professionals, he wouldn't need to do this. Os is a well-known strong man and deserves his reception.
There is no harm in establishing a good relationship with such a strong man, and all he has done is to run a little longer. This is not the first time the registrant has seen Os here. During this period, they have been here almost ten times, and each time they have brought quite a lot of refugees.
These refugees are undoubtedly caused by the war. The policy of collecting refugees in this place is also a national policy. The policy regarding the Soul Gem Loan. The area where refugees are collected is near important cities in the empire. If refugees want to survive, they must accept the Soul Gem Loan and pay themselves a Soul Gem Loan that has been paid for all year round.
Of course, if you don’t agree, then continue to be an unpopular refugee. If you agree, you will be assigned to an area for construction, and carry out construction work around the vicinity of important cities. With the city as the center, you will build some villages or towns that are like satellites.
In short, they not only have to undertake long-term soul gem loans, but also have to engage in some construction work. While not leaving them idle, they also have to discover their productivity. As for whether someone will run away in the future, don’t expect anything. Although soul gem loans are not a powerful contract, contracts depend on people. For this group of refugees, ordinary contracts are more than enough.
Even if someone subsequently conducts mandatory cracking, the cost of cracking is far beyond the cost released by the empire. If someone is willing to do that, the empire will recognize it. Those who are willing to do that can solve ten or one hundred, and ten thousand or ten thousand?
They can't do it even if they are exhausted.
Of course, if this policy is developed, it will also prevent some people from pretending to refugees and trying to smuggle. This is easy to confirm. The existence of the magic network makes it easy to confirm the news from many places, and it can even be used in every village in the empire! Ask about the origin of the refugees and check the relevant records to confirm the origin of these people.
Don't be afraid of fraud.
"Thank you, then." Os accepted a thin small bag given by the registrant. There were not many gold coins in it. Os didn't care about it. Refugees were not that valuable, but they were more valuable than slaves acquired, but not much. In general, it was a little more profitable, but not worth some people taking the risk of massacre and selling refugees. If they were found out, it would not be a fine.
"No... it is fortunate to have professionals like you in the war." The registrant shook his head and said. He didn't say much nonsense, such as why didn't Os stop war, such as the aura of a Virgin Bitch.
Although powerful professionals can fight with each other, but if they have more, they will be more likely to get into trouble. Simply put, in the early stage, everyone will fight with normal thermal weapons. If they use more nuclear weapons in the later stage, there will be no psychological burden. Anyway, that's it, everyone can plant mushrooms casually.
Os is very powerful and can decide many wars, but the enemy is not weak. To be honest, powerful professionals who are not under the command and arrangement of the empire are good for doing things within the normal range, such as Os, who run over and control a war at any time. Those who are helped may not be grateful to them. I won’t say anything about it. If you get help, you will earn it.
For the empire, sometimes this help only brings additional trouble and variables. It was originally a special battle to show weakness, but was disturbed by such a group of professionals. It was useless to give some bait instead.
As the registrant learned, Os and others have always been very restrained in their activities. They intervened in the war as war mercenaries, not jumping left and right, and sometimes accepting war mercenaries tasks from the Rabst Empire, and sometimes accepting the Sato Empire. They basically operate in the territory of the Rabst Empire.
All the people who participated in the war mercenary missions were understood, so they could naturally make joint arrangements so that some overly powerful professionals would not cause bad things or destroy some potential rules, leading to greater war chaos. At the same time, Os and others were also a stranger among war mercenaries.
They do not interfere with what other war mercenaries do, but they always do their own things alone. They regard these war mercenaries as if they have not seen what they have done to them. They cannot beat them and cannot afford to provoke them. What else can they do? In short, that's it. If they want to take a fresh route, they will go without disturbing them.
When doing these things, Os and others didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Green didn't need to say more. The old bird among adventurers, war has affected the adventure life, and doing something to help people is a brand new experience. Garcia said that the Pseudo-Divine Cult of Blue Furious itself has the part to support the weak. After all, the power type is biased towards the protection type. In terms of interests? After so long after he has been taking risks with Os, he really has no shortage of money, so he will not feel anything.
As for the Berserker Fred, let alone, the Berserkers are given the title of their bloodline. Although they are addicted to war, they are not crazy people who like to kill. They often look down on the weak, but when they see the kind of people who always attack the weak, they are extra disliked. Taking the weak to attack the weak is considered a frustration. If you want to show your strength, you should attack the strong.
Besides, there is no shortage of fighting in such a thing, and Fred has no objection, let alone Os. He was once a poor man and was not considered a refugee, but his living conditions were close to those of refugees...
In general, it is also idle. Just when you can't do anything or have no chance to do it, you might as well do something that can be enjoyed and comfortable for you. When helping refugees, it would be even better if you can meet people from the Dark Church. Of course, finding one or two strongholds of the Dark Church is also a part of your daily life.
"We're leaving." After recording the new location shared by the registrant, Os nodded and left the registration point. The registrant waved to his subordinates.
"Allocate them by age and pick them out if they are not in good health."
If you are in good health, you will receive a soul gem loan. Of course, there will be popular science before. Bad health refers to those who are older or have other difficult diseases to cure. This type of person will be directly involved in the construction work, or will be sent to other places...
There is no need to say this. Even the Labst Empire could not waste some resources during the war. Those who can really play a role will keep it well. They have hidden diseases and are not that effective. If they are arranged separately, it would be a good result without letting them die on their own. Although there is such a arrangement in the colder place.
"Let's go back to Puli Dungeon." On the way back, Oss took his eyes from the summoning book of the Demon Soldiers and said, "The secret post was thinner and fast during the war, so a lot of information passed in a flash. I still found it useful after reading it the moment before, but it might be useless after a few minutes.
Oss is not a professional intelligence analyst. Because he missed a lot of opportunities and even encountered many additional attacks. In general, the mainland is becoming increasingly unfriendly to them now... or in other words, the targeting of the Dark Church on them has begun to improve again, and this happened after the emergence of the dark web.
Dark Network, Holy Temple Network and others have been exposed to it. After comparison, it is the magic weapon network that is more exciting in daily life. The Holy Temple Network is too strict, and the things involved are also very hard-core. They are welcomed by a group of people, but not everyone is welcomed by them.
At least, people like Os who lack knowledge and literacy in professions feel a little bored, not as friendly as the Magic Soldier Network. So he still applied for a Holy Temple Internet Internet card. The Dark Church? Let's just jump to the jump to the past and access. Isn't he asking for trouble for himself by applying for a Dark Internet Internet card?
Os was also worried that the Dark Church would use the backend authority to determine their detailed locations with the Dark Network. If you prevent it, you might as well not give the Dark Church the corresponding opportunity. Just like that, just like that. A sacred network card and a magic soldier network card are enough. Os has been exposed to the Dark Network, and the content inside is too dark.
After browsing for ten minutes, there were several information about slave transactions alone, and some were used and killed immediately. Not to mention other topics, there were too few rules there, so the environment inside was relatively bad. Well... it may be that the Dark Church also felt that it was too random, and some restrictions were also made in the subsequent updates.
At least it is not the original type of content that eight of the ten posts were swearing around. Now the proportion has dropped to one-fifth to one-tenth, and the rest is still normal, but the things involved are not very normal.
Anyway, Os doesn't like to watch it very much. Os saw their dark wanted warrants in the dark web.
"Okay, our operations have also obtained a new soul gem recently. We will deal with this thing after we go back this time." Green nodded. They have been active outside for a long time. With the fiercer war, even with their combat power, even if they continue to be war mercenaries, they will become cannon fodder. Can they fight? They can fight only a more powerful cannon fodder.
The fierce war has turned the dark warriors into cannon fodders who can abuse high-level warriors... Of course, they became cannon fodder so soon, mainly because of the update of the world version. The update of the new world version allows normal professionals to obtain special power to restrain the power of the witch.
The soul gems that some people even took out were accompanied by the power of the Saint Maiden and the existence of the Holy Warriors, which made all professions have strengthened themselves and kept up with the times. At least they would not be easily abused by the Dark Warriors. If they could avoid being abused, then there would be a way to kill them... So the Dark Warriors had the intention of developing into cannon fodder.
The era has been updated too quickly. It is helpless for the dark warriors who were originally capable of becoming like this. Of course, there are many special witch forces in the Dark Church, including Shadow Walker, Curse Warrior, Rage Flame Mage, etc., all special professions transformed by the witch power.
They have also become the best targets for testing these new cannon fodders. It is time to improve themselves. They quickly use the soul gem to obtain new power. After they cultivate it, they can achieve a complementary state with their original power. Then they will come back and find the Dark Church to regain the venue, so that they can feel the changes of the times.
"Then let's go."
Garcia and Fred had no objection. The soul gems were not divided enough before, but now the soul gems were divided enough, and they were still advanced. What they needed to think about was not the source of the soul gems, but the special powers they needed to choose. They had considered this a long time ago.
The power you choose must not be chosen casually. It would be too wasteful of the unique power resources of the Soul Gem. Just like Fred, with the spiritual solidification potion in it, you can fully follow the route of infinite madness. Choose a magic power that can enhance recovery.
As long as the magic power in the soul gem is not exhausted, the body will be in a state of continuous high-speed self-healing. When the deep madness is exhausted, it can maintain its physical state at all times before the magic is exhausted, allowing itself to maintain a super high limit of tolerance, and allowing the deep madness to continuously affect its own strength to increase almost infinitely... This kind of solution was very jealous of Fred in the past.
Or a berserker will be jealous because of this, but the problem of uncontrolled berserkers becoming crazy makes them feel heartbroken while being jealous. It is infinitely crazy. The half of the dream of the berserker is completely dreaming that while it is infinitely crazy, it can also ensure that their own consciousness is clear.
Without the influence of soberness, there is nothing to say. No matter how infinitely crazy it is, it may be used by others. Just like a nuclear bomb, the one who throws it into the wrong place is not only the enemy, but also his own people! This is what Fred is confused about, is it the infinitely crazy of violence or the sobering crazy combination that matches his teammates.
In essence, he prefers the latter. Although the former can convince himself with the spiritual solidification potion, can the spiritual solidification potion always have it? Also, Green's green hair is still beating. He can choose the power of the soul gem to be restored based on his own blood abilities...
