Lelouch seemed to suddenly appear in the Black Rose's stronghold. Perhaps because the crystal dragon Buyani had arrived in advance, the Black Rose personnel were just stunned for a moment before they immediately came to their senses and came to take Lelouch away. Accepted and went in.
Some people¡¯s eyes are filled with unwillingness, others are filled with indescribable excitement, and some even have an expression of longing!
As ordinary people, they were told about another unknown side of the world overnight, telling them that there are many beings in this world that cannot be hurt by swords, and that these beings are lurking around them and will appear in the future. In front of them may be the most powerful allies or the most terrifying enemies, and they will face these existences in the near future.
Faced with this shocking fact, there are probably only two choices that ordinary people can make, either to protect themselves and run away as far as they can, or to kneel in front of the opponent and try their best to please the opponent, and see if they can get away with it. Got some benefit. Of course, some people may say that there is another option called resistance. For example, like the saying that you are willing to be killed and dare to pull down the emperor, resistance is also an option!
But the problem is~ there are really not many people in this world who are willing to be killed. The emperor who was pulled down was powerful and at the same time, he was only a mortal who could be hurt by swords. But now facing an inhuman existence, who dares Be the first to eat crabs?
Lelouch and LeBlanc considered some situations from the beginning. For this reason, Lelouch's existence was only known to those elites recognized by LeBlanc among the top leaders of Black Rose. Otherwise, if too many people knew about it, In the face of the fear brought by the unknown, there will definitely be escape and betrayal among Black Rose personnel. If the control is not good, Black Rose may even be crushed by the pressure it generates.
"Okay everyone, let's start today's course. Those who have complaints and questions, please swallow your words back. I know what you want to ask, and I can tell you clearly that it is useless. If you want to use it, It is foolish to directly compete with extraordinary people with force, and don¡¯t think that you can make up for the gap in strength with numbers. The only weapon you can choose now is wisdom.¡±
In the conference room of the Black Rose inner hall, Lelouch, who was wearing a zero mask, spoke loudly and coercively to the Black Rose members sitting below: "Wandering in the gap created by the game between extraordinary people, do your best. Survive and use the momentum to create enough chips until the influence of the Black Rose can also affect the choices of extraordinary people. Before reaching this level, don't give in to the stupid idea of ??thinking about forming a private army to fight the opponent. For example, as an extraordinary person, I don't even bother to fight with others. All I have to do is kill the mastermind directly, and the rest will naturally dissipate."
The Black Rose executives sitting below and listening to Lelouch's speech were silent. At first, everyone thought that Zero, who was also a transcendent, would use his own power to make some members stronger, or pass on some ancient knowledge. He used his martial arts and lost ancient magic to fight against the extraordinary, but the answer he got was that he was daydreaming! What Zero wants them to do is to step by step and try their best to penetrate the entire Free City and even the area considered by the Free City under favorable conditions, expand the scale of Black Rose and strengthen its influence, not just in the form of a gang but Expand into a huge group, a mafia group, a business group, an intelligence group, any kind of model is possible, as long as you can hide in the darkness and wander among the extraordinary!
As the directly appointed armed officer, Musk stood up with an ugly expression: "I have a problem, Mr. Zero."
"It's best not to ask too stupid a question. I have a bad temper and don't like repeating the same thing over and over again."
Facing the pressure of the extraordinary person named Zero that seemed to be able to cut the entire body and produce phantom pain, Musk swallowed his saliva and still stood up straight and said: "In other words, the force we want to build is only to deal with ordinary people. Human beings, should you, Mr. Zero, handle those extraordinary beings?"
"That's right!" Lelouch nodded without any hesitation.
Yes! From the beginning, Lelouch did not expect the Black Rose personnel to become the main force against the extraordinary ones!
Weakness is the main reason, although there are ways to make people stronger in an instant. For example, the boy Claire was lucky enough to pick up the soul gem, and he was able to compete with the extraordinary people in this city from a slave with nothing. The power of one or two, not to mention that Lelouch himself instantly transformed from a weak human to an extremely powerful one with the help of Yalin, but this kind of power undoubtedly comes at a price.
Every time a gem is used on Claire's body, its power will backfire. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of death. Lelouch's reincarnation as a dragon may not have any negative effects, at most it will abandon human beings.The transformation of his identity into a monster brings some ethical pressure to the spirit, but Lelouch also knows that this kind of transformation cannot be done by Yalin to everyone, otherwise the entire city of Ulduar would have already gathered a huge The dragon legion, apart from these extreme methods of forcibly becoming stronger, even if ancient martial arts and magic are taught, the question is, do these people have time to practice? Even if the Eternal Potion can make an ordinary person become physically stronger quickly, the understanding of the skills can only be accumulated over time.
At this point, Lelouch changed his tone: "But please note that when the battle between extraordinary people really starts, it means one thing, that is, you are worthless."
¡°It¡¯s worthless, what do you mean?¡± Musk¡¯s expression changed.
"Proxy war~ I don't know if you have ever understood this term. If you do, you should know that when the real behind the scenes comes to the fore, agents are of no use, and you who are involved in the war What will be the result? I think you are not naive!"
Lelouch's voice was as cold as the cold wind coming from the far north. A proxy war between big countries, no matter how small countries fight, it is a regional conflict, but the big country that is the commander behind the scenes can't help but take the lead. Behind the scenes, it is a world-class war, which is a situation that no one wants to see, and the destruction of a small country as an agent under the fire of this level of war may even happen overnight.
Musk, the specially appointed armed officer, had to sit down with a livid face.
At this moment, the senior Black Rose staff in the room couldn't help but look at each other, but no one dared to say a word. Even if the attitude of the extraordinary person named Zero in front of him was so arrogant and direct, his power was enough to overwhelm any dissatisfaction. Cut off all possibility of rebellion.
However, while fearful, there were also people who were unwilling to be ordinary and their blood was surging. The eyes looking at Lelouch revealed a kind of fanatical atmosphere.
Risks are sometimes opportunities. A large part of the Black Rose members sitting here were born in the underworld, and a small number chose to hide in the dark because of poverty and family decline in order not to become slaves due to bankruptcy. Lingering in the dark streets, being tricked by fate, suffering oppression and suffering, struggling in pain and humiliation for so long that even the last bit of dignity as a human being is about to be lost, when the opportunity to turn over and become a human being is presented to him. Even if there is only a 1% chance, these painful but unwilling souls will try to catch it at all costs.
"Then what should we do now, Your Excellency? Please provide us with guidance." In the end, the attitudes of some Black Rose executives began to soften.
"It's very simple. At this stage, the Black Rose is still focusing on expanding its power and consolidating its internal strength. Cleaning out other forces on the black streets has completely made this area the territory of the Black Rose. After infiltrating the upper area, the Black Rose should not Forgetting your roots, I think the lower areas are just as important.¡±
"We know this, and Ms. LeBlanc has also made corresponding arrangements. In the future, Black Rose will completely control the lower area and become the real ruler here." A relatively rare female member of the Black Rose senior leadership nodded.
Lelouch added: "In my opinion, controlling the lower area is more important than the upper area."
Some people don't understand that the free city uses money to divide status levels. People in the lower areas are as cheap as pigs and dogs, while in the upper areas they are the superiors. Every chamber of commerce in the underworld is eager to extend its tentacles upward. After all, the upper-class areas represent prosperity and wealth, while the lower-class areas are always synonymous with squalor and poverty.
"Do you still remember what the world calls this city?"
Some members of the Black Rose couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. It was obvious that after living in this city for a long time, they had become confused by the people involved, while Musk and a few others couldn't help but frown.
Lelouch said loudly and forcefully: "This is a twisted city, a city of sin that even the gods have given up on. It is also a free trade city and a paradise for the rich. There is no so-called bloodline and origin as the only measure. The benchmark for high and low status is money, and at the same time, this is a city built on the bones of countless slaves and poor people, and every inch of the land here is soaked in blood and tears!"
"That's right~ This is a city built on slaves and poor people. All the prosperity of the upper-class areas comes from the endless oppression of the lower-class areas. They continue to squeeze the lower-class areas with lies about their ability to see regardless of their origins. Facts As long as there is no support from the lower area, the so-called prosperity of the upper area will be nothing more than a castle in the air."
When Lelouch pointed out everything, the expressions of everyone at the top of Black Rose became weird and subtle.
At this time, Lelouch spread his hands and said, "So??Don't forget, what is the cornerstone that really supports this city? How to use this neglected cornerstone and how to maximize its potential is what you should think about. "
