The person who spoke was a friend who only got together during this war. He was a former adventurer and quite famous in the area where he was active.
As soon as he learned about the invasion of the Abyss, he joined the war and experienced the great defeat in the north. It was at that time that he established a comradeship with Ezio and was considered one of his die-hard supporters.
Of course, Ezio would not fail to pay attention to such a comrade who could be entrusted with life and death. With a look, this old comrade knew how to speak. He said:
"As far as I know, most of the people in the Brotherhood are orphans gathered by the magician, and there are also some children whose parents are from the technical guild. No matter who they are, they all have a deep relationship with the magician.
"Let's not talk about the issue of whether to close the door to the abyss. If you all come up with an opinion, won't you be able to influence the magician in turn? Doesn't he ask you to serve him for ten years? There is this level of relationship.
, it’s not like I’m speechless.”
Ezio instantly understood what his partner meant. There was nothing more than two words in his words: forced to have a baby.
Any individual who is supported by a group will, to some extent, be subject to the opinions of the group. The most obvious example is the relationship between a certain time-traveling magnate, a consortium, and the president. There is no need to elaborate here.
So in this person's mind, he simply thinks that since the magician needs people from the Brotherhood to help him with things, even if there is a favor, can he completely ignore the opinions of the Brotherhood?
Regarding this innocent understanding of this friend who was not from an elementary school, all the friends showed wry smiles. Ezio said on behalf of everyone:
"What you said is not wrong, but it is based on the fact that individuals and groups are dependent on each other. The current situation of the Brotherhood is that although the magician requires us to serve him for ten years, he will give us our freedom.
"But in fact, after we came out of elementary school, he didn't assign any serious tasks to us. To put it nicely, he gave us more freedom. But to put it bluntly, in his eyes, we were just idle chess, dispensable.
kind.
"In this case, let alone influence him. Sometimes even if you want to give an opinion, you may not be able to meet the person. Besides, if you have such power,——"
Ezio pointed towards his head. Everyone immediately understood that this was a hint to the metal monster in the sky that blocked the sun.
"——Does that person really think highly of us?"
Thinking of the Brotherhood, countless outside manpower, and the help of the two empires, they are evenly matched with the devils and the underground world coalition, and have shown a decline recently.
As soon as they took action, the matter was resolved. With such a gap, it would be a joke to say how much influence the Brotherhood's manpower had on the magician.
However, the person who originally asked the question did not completely give up his idea, and further said: "What if we have to do this? Directly lead the team to the gate of the abyss, try to close the door, and cut off the communication between the Lost Land and the abyss. Such a situation
Next, is it possible that the magician will take action to stop us?"
"Why not?"
Ezio's answer without thinking left most people present stunned. The other group of people nodded at the same time with concern.
Faced with two completely different attitudes, those who were stunned naturally wanted to know more. Their expressions immediately turned into curious babies, ready to eat melons and listen to gossip. The more reserved ones were just passing by with soy sauce.
expression.
Regardless of the excitement on everyone's faces, Ezio knows that one of the most powerful tools to persuade people is sincerity. And to show sincerity, telling the truth is undoubtedly the best way.
Anyway, I am not responsible for safeguarding that person's reputation, nor am I trying to make him stinky. What I said are things that that person has really done, so I naturally feel free to say them.
Ezio said: "If you want to know that magician's attitude towards us, I only need to tell you one thing, and you will probably know. That is the opportunity for the establishment of the Brotherhood."
Just listen to what Ezio said.
The fraternity, an organization that extends from elementary schools, is not an organization that existed in the first place. It gathers all the children from elementary schools. In the beginning, the children who graduated from elementary schools grew up lawless and barbaric.
At that time, someone's attitude was the same as today. Although he was asked to serve for ten years, he was not actually given any serious tasks. It was more of indulgence than laissez-faire.
It's a pity that someone's primary school teaches almost everything except moral education. And the children come from the streets, and naturally they have good and bad personalities.
When they were in elementary schools, because they lived in a group and were suppressed by a few leading older kids, those bad kids had no place to flourish. When they returned to the streets without anyone to restrain them, it was like a tiger coming out of the gate.
Just the same, dominating and doing good everywhere.
With the skills they learned in elementary school, they used the name of a certain magician as a banner. For a time, just a few black sheep made the children from elementary school infamous. They didn't even care about those who were the same as themselves.
degree of visibility.
At that time, a very bad female murder incident occurred. When the family of the deceased even came to the door, the matter finally came to the magician.
The murderer was quickly caught in front of the magician. After all, they neither ran away nor evaded. They were even proud of what they had committed and did not think it was a wrong thing at all, let alone a bad thing.
They defended themselves plausibly: "Sir, don't forget how much money you have spent to cultivate us. Less than two years have passed since the ten-year service agreement. We still have more than eight years of debts to pay.
Still...are you willing to let us die now?"
This shameless, debt-oriented attitude made a certain magician so angry that he lost all expression on the spot. He raised his hand slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he used the flash technique to take off the heads of three people.
The magician asked his apprentice to hand over the body of the perpetrator to the victim's family and let them do whatever they wanted. In addition, there was no condolences or compensation for the victim's family.
It's not that someone is really so callous, but because the victim's family members were also instigated and wanted to make things bigger. So after seeing the murderer beheaded and the body brought to them, they still refused to give in and demanded death.
A magician came forward to apologize for his mistakes.
…Then there were a few more corpses. At least anyone who dared to make a scene in front of the magician’s house would not be able to escape. It didn’t matter whether these people were real family members or fake family members.
In the end, the family that lost a daughter only took away the heads of the three murderers and left in a hurry. Of course, they did not dare to continue to cause trouble to other people. And the extra dead became the old black dragon's
Add more vegetables and no one will care.
What looked like a conspiracy was actually solved because of problems caused by children from elementary schools.
For this reason, the magician summoned everyone for the first time, including graduated and ungraduated children, to give a stern warning.
"Don't think that because you still owe me a debt, I won't be willing to bear the loss, so I condone your behavior. Such non-performing assets cannot bring me benefits, but bring trouble. Even if I lose money, I will not lose money."
Choose your punishment with hesitation!
"When there are too many non-performing assets, I will reconsider the necessity of your existence. So if you want to live well, it is best not to have similar things happen a second time.
"Even if it happens, be smart and don't bring it to my eyes. Because I can't stand such a thing. Let me know that the person who committed the crime will definitely die. Just take care of yourself."
After the magician's warning, the Brotherhood was established under the leadership of Ezio. The original purpose of its establishment was to supervise each other and serve as internal executioners when certain evil deeds occurred.
However, members of brotherhoods and even children in elementary schools will not force everyone to become saints. It is a bit exaggerated to have someone cut off their hands and feet for petty theft.
Therefore, there is only one method of punishment within the Brotherhood: the murderer must pay with his life! Unless the person killed is a recognized evil person, or a sinner who has sufficient evidence of guilt but whose evil deeds have not yet been known to the public.
It's like Ezio once sneaked into the Kingdom of Silk and killed the traitors of the Brotherhood, the three Bobo Xia brothers.
It was not because they stole the magic silk technology and handed it over to outsiders, but because they killed their original brotherhood partners in the process of stealing and escaping, that prompted Ezio to come to their door.
As for the theft of technology, unless the magician spoke in person, Ezio would pretend he didn't see it. Anyway, it wasn't his own loss.
General crimes are handled by the law enforcement agencies at the place where the crime was committed.
The reason why the murderer is dealt with within the brotherhood is because the family affairs are best understood by the people in the family. Children in elementary schools are not inferior to the martial arts taught by those military nobles in terms of martial arts.
Think about it, the main instructor is the former commander of the Demon King's Guards, and the Demon Prince Azad provides practical combat opportunities from time to time. If he fails to pass the test, he will die. Therefore, the skills of children who take the path of warriors are not those of ordinary town militiamen.
can be solved.
Once these people commit heinous crimes, if the Brotherhood does not take action, it is very likely that they will be like the three bastards at the beginning, and ordinary people will not be able to deal with them, and the trouble will get out of hand.
In short, one of the main reasons for the establishment of the Brotherhood is that children from elementary schools are regarded as dispensable by magicians and can be given up at any time. In order not to be given up - this may involve more cruel ways of dealing with the aftermath -
—That’s why some brothers will restrain themselves.
Even after the fraternity absorbed the experience of the Ikaruga Alliance, it also selectively absorbed members from outside elementary schools and added many mutual aid functions. However, the most basic internal self-suppression function was not abandoned.
It can be seen from this that it is basically impossible to use the opinions of the brotherhood to control the will of the magician.
I really thought that because of the relationship between the Brotherhood and the magician, I would have the immortal body. I just pulled the team towards the door of the abyss and tried to close the door. Guess what the magician would do?
Forgive the older boys of the Brotherhood generously? Are you at a loss as to how to deal with this level of 'military remonstrance'? Or simply let the robot fleet attack and end things once and for all?
Anyone with a good brain can guess what the magician will do!
