Chapter 186 Backdoor Program Deep in Consciousness
Although the destruction of wizards will cause a violent explosion after death, these destruction wizards have lost a lot of things.
They cannot live in the downtown area, and without a license, 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 figures have bodyguards around them, it is difficult to assassinate them. But as long as you kill a silver-rank sabotage wizard not far away, you can also blow them up...
Ordinary people dare not approach them. It's like seeing a gas tank in the middle. Although we all know that it will not explode suddenly without warning, people will still walk around it subconsciously.
Even when saboteurs made their way into some towns and villages in the United Kingdom, parents were nervous to keep their children at home - although if they did blow up, whole villages would be leveled, and it wouldn't really make a difference where to hide.
But this kind of attitude is no longer treating them as "human beings" like themselves.
Instead, treat it as a monster, or a monster-the so-called "keep a respectful distance" is describing this state.
...However, from another angle.
Destroying the transcendent status of wizards across borders is largely due to their "explosion after death" characteristic.
People are in awe of the "power" of destroying wizards, and they dare not attack them-otherwise they will try to detonate the experience of "explosives with a range smaller than the blast radius".
It is precisely because of this fear of "I can't do anything to them anyway" and this "You better not do it, what if AOE gets to this gas tank" restraint others, that people can choose calmly "Sit down and talk".
It's like a previous sentence - reading is to reason with idiots calmly, and exercising can make idiots reason with you calmly.
And destroying the inherent characteristics of wizards can make fools only choose to reason with them...
"When you are all transformed into saboteurs, no longer lose your mind, no longer explode because of death, how will you maintain this deterrence?"
Annan asked "Julius".
If sabotage wizards are no longer so scary... can they really still serve as "mediators" and "deterrents"?
Once the saboteurs lose their neutral status as "mediators", the destructive power they hold will actually persecute them - just like holding guns or explosives in a peaceful city.
At least they will be monitored by the local rulers, and may even be placed under house arrest and persecuted.
Annan himself was a Grand Duke.
To be honest, if he was in the Dukedom of Winter and saw a saboteur walking on the street, he would definitely send the Hand of Winter to watch him. If you see multiple sabotage wizards appearing together, you may just invite them to drink tea.
——This is still the "current version" of the Destruction Wizard.
Because killing them may lead to more serious consequences...
But if the saboteur wizards have all become saboteurs, then it is not impossible for Annan to directly send someone to kill them silently.
It's not even a question of going downtown with a rifle.
It's shopping in a supermarket with an rpg...
It's no longer a matter of trusting or distrusting them—with a little responsibility, it's impossible to sit back and watch. Even for the safety of innocent people, they must be controlled.
The previous destruction wizard was just "really unable to control it".
"It's actually very simple."
"Julius" made a gentle voice: "Not all sabotage wizards will advance to saboteurs. There will always be people who choose the traditional way of destruction...'Deterrence Theory' does have its value.
"And I plan to grant these 'true wizards of destruction' some honors—such as a special red cloak. This marks their danger.
"As long as there are real saboteurs in this world, even ordinary saboteurs will have a certain degree of deterrence—because it is difficult to distinguish saboteurs from ordinary saboteurs in terms of appearance. Then people will naturally Be apprehensive."
"But if that's the case," Annan frowned slightly, and put forward a very realistic opinion, "If something happens to any saboteur, it will directly affect the reputation of all saboteurs."
This question is almost certain to arise.
And once it appears...it is absolutely fatal.
But since "Julius" proposed this idea at this time, Annan believed that he must have come up with a countermeasure.
"I did think about that possibility."
"Julius" said gently: "So I plan to start a big ceremony, rooting my mechanical will in the deepest part of [School of Destruction].
"As long as someone tries to use destruction spells to indiscriminately 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 sabotage wizard's death to kill and destroy Wizard, then the information on the parties and victims, as well as the complete video of the incident at that time, will also be collected and kept by me."
"...is it the same as a god?"
Annan raised his eyebrows.
If this ceremony can be established, it will be even higher than the gods' control over believers.
Although destroying wizards does have to be controlled. And "Julius", who has a mechanized mind and a weak desire, is indeed the most suitable manager.
but……
"Yes, it's like the relationship between gods and believers."
Facing Annan's question, "Julius" admitted without hesitation: "A transcendent with a dyed soul can already do god-like things with the help of rituals."
Annan did know this.
The vest of "The Wolf of the Valley" was created by a tragedy writer in those days.
but……
"You are not an idol wizard, are you? This has already involved the high-level spells of the idol school."
Annan's eyes became sharper: "Or..."
"You guessed right. This is the technology Ingrid gave me, and it's also the ceremony she arranged for me."
"Julius" replied softly.
Annan couldn't help laughing: "So, the relationship between you doesn't seem to be that tense..."
At least it is definitely not the relationship between the kidnapped tower master and the vicious kidnappers that Julius had hinted before.
There are more or less cooperation and transactions between them.
But Annan didn't bother to pursue it carefully.
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 care.
"Beyond that, His Majesty Annan."
"Julius" said respectfully: "Actually, where did Ingrid escape... don't bother you to send someone to investigate. Because I actually have more accurate information here, and I can even send you there directly. "
"--Oh?"
Annan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
