Chapter 186 The backdoor program in the depths of consciousness
Although the destruction wizards will explode violently after death, this characteristic makes these destruction wizards lose a lot.
They cannot live in a busy city. Without a permit, they are not even allowed to take the subway at will, and they are not allowed to enter some important places such as buildings where meetings are being held.
Because even if those big shots have bodyguards around them, it would be difficult to assassinate them. But as long as you kill a Silver-level destruction wizard not far away, you can blow them all to death...
And ordinary people dare not approach them. It is like seeing a gas tank placed in the middle. Although everyone knows that it will not explode suddenly without warning, people will still walk around subconsciously.
Even when the wizards of destruction entered some towns in the United Kingdom, parents nervously kept their children at home, even though if they did blow up, the entire village would be razed to the ground, and it made no difference where they hid.
But this attitude no longer treats them as "human beings" like ourselves.
Instead, treating them as monsters, or the so-called "keeping a respectful distance" from monsters, is to describe this state.
...But, from another perspective.
The extremely transcendent status of destruction wizards across national borders is largely due to their "explosion upon death" characteristic.
People are in awe of the "power" of destroying wizards, and they dare not attack them otherwise they will have to try to detonate "explosives with a range smaller than the explosion radius" experience.
It is precisely because of the fear of "I can't do anything to them anyway" and the restraint mentality of "you'd better not do anything, what if AOE gets to this gas tank" towards others, that people can make calm choices.
"Sit down and talk".
Just like the previous sentence, reading is to be able to reason with idiots calmly, and exercise can make idiots to reason with you calmly.
And destroying the inherent characteristics of wizards can make idiots have no choice but to reason with them...
"When you are all transformed into destroyers, no longer irrational, and no longer explode due to death, how can you maintain this deterrence?"
Annan asked "Julius".
If destruction wizards were no longer so scary... could they really still serve as "mediators" and "deterrents"?
Once the wizards of destruction lose their neutral status as "mediators," the destructive power they hold will make them persecuted just like holding firearms or explosives in a peaceful city.
At the very least, they will be monitored by local rulers, and they may even be placed under house arrest and persecuted.
Annan himself was a great prince.
To be honest, if he was in the Principality of Winter and saw a destructive wizard walking on the street, he would definitely send the Hand of Winter to monitor him. If he saw multiple destructive wizards appearing together, he might just invite them to drink tea.
.
This is still the "current version" of the Wizard of Destruction.
Because killing them may lead to more serious consequences...
But if the destruction wizards all become saboteurs, then it is not impossible for Annan to directly send people to kill them quietly.
It's not even a matter of bringing a rifle into the city anymore.
Going to the supermarket with an RPG in hand...
This is no longer a matter of trusting or distrusting them. If you are a little more responsible, you cannot sit idly by. Even for the safety of innocent people, they must be controlled.
The previous destruction wizard just "couldn't control it".
"It's actually very simple."
"Julius" made a gentle voice: "Not all wizards of destruction will advance into saboteurs. There will always be people who choose the traditional way of destruction... The 'deterrence theory' does have its value.
"And I plan to grant these 'real wizards of destruction' some honors, such as special red cloaks, to mark their danger.
"As long as there are real wizards of destruction in this world, even ordinary destroyers will have a certain degree of deterrence. Because in terms of appearance, it is difficult to distinguish between destroyers and ordinary wizards of destruction. So people will naturally have to bear in mind
fear."
"But if this is the case," Annan frowned slightly and put forward a very realistic opinion, "if something happens to a sabotage wizard, it will directly affect the reputation of all sabotage wizards."
This problem is almost certain to occur.
And once it appears... it is absolutely fatal.
But since "Julius" proposed this idea at this time, Annan thought that he must have come up with a countermeasure.
"I did consider this possibility."
"Julius" said gently: "So I plan to launch a big ceremony to root my mechanical will into the deepest part of the [School of Destruction].
"As long as someone tries to use destruction spells to kill innocent people and destroy towns, they will be disturbed and interrupted by this will... And if someone ignores the safety of civilians, or deliberately uses the explosion after the death of the destruction wizard to forcibly assassinate and destroy
Wizard, then the information about the person involved and the victim, as well as the complete video of what happened at that time, will also be collected and saved by me."
"...Is it the same as a god?"
Annan raised his eyebrows.
If this ritual can be established, it will even have greater control over believers than the gods.
Although the Destruction Wizard does need to be controlled. And "Julius", who has a mechanized mind and weak desires, is indeed the most suitable manager.
but……
"Yes, it's like the relationship between gods and believers."
Faced with Annan's question, "Julius" admitted it without hesitation: "Extraordinary beings with dyed souls, with the help of rituals, can already do things like gods."
Annan does know this.
The vest "Wolf in the Valley" was created by the tragedy writer back then.
but……
"You are not an idol wizard, right? This already involves high-level spells from the idol school."
Annan's eyes became sharp: "Let's just say..."
"You guessed it right. This is the technique Ingrid gave me and the ritual she arranged for me."
"Julius" responded warmly.
Annan couldn't help but laugh: "So it seems that the relationship between you is not so tense..."
At least it's definitely not the kind of relationship between the kidnapped tower master and the vicious kidnapper as Julius had hinted before.
There are more or less cooperation and transactions between them.
But Annan was too lazy to investigate in detail.
Once this kind of thing is investigated... no one is completely clean.
As long as the position is correct, the team is correct, and there are no problems in the follow-up, Annan will not bother to worry about it.
"Besides that, Your Majesty Annan."
"Julius" said respectfully: "Actually, where did Ingrid escape... There is no need to trouble you to send someone to investigate. Because I actually have more accurate information here, and I can even send you there directly.
