Chapter 414 The Emperor's Hand
The Fallen from Hell was taken to the Royal Wand Workshop by Feiqi and began their life as slave laborers. Compared to the suppressed, terrifying and evil environment of Hell, the air on Yongli continent was obviously much better, but this amount of air was the only benefit that the Fallen could enjoy. In other aspects, Feiqi provided them with exactly the same standards as they did when they were in Hell.
This standard looks like it's intentional torture them.
In fact, it is torture them.
Thunder Bai is responsible for training them as fast as possible to use the Shani Lingzhi craftsman, so she sees everything: the little devil in the invisible state monitors and controls these people at all times, constantly suppressing and tortures their humanity. They will use spells to turn the food given to these people into a state of impending decay, and add poisons called pain to them; they will make these people never wear warmth and sleep, but they will use spells to keep awake at work; they will always stare at these people, seize every mistake and impose punishment as soon as possible.
These practices made Lei Tingbai unacceptable. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to hold it out for four days. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and angrily asked to see His Majesty the King. Feiqi happened to be in hell at that time and came back to see her the next day, and brought back the second batch of 40 new fallen slave workers.
Thunder Bai immediately learned the news. It was obvious that every fallen man would continue to suffer torture and abuse under her custody and education. Therefore, when her two eyebrows were raised up angrily and her eyes were filled with almost hatred, Fitch expressed his understanding.
"Your Majesty, are those craftsmen really used as slaves? I doubt you actually don't know how the little devils treat the fallen ones!" When Lei Tingbai thought of the situation at that time, his feet stomped on the ground: "Even though he brought them normal food, the little devils insisted on using spells to make the food sour and smelly, and they could even find insect eggs! Do you know what eggs I was talking about?"
"I can imagine it." Feiqi sat upright on the Iron Throne, which was full of power because of its hideousness. He touched his chin: "Your anger makes sense. The little devil should not catalyze food to make it close to rot. There are many people in the Yongli continent who can't eat enough. It is a serious crime to destroy food. I told them not to do this in the future, don't worry."
"I can't rest assured!" Lei Tingbai shook his head: "Your Majesty, those craftsmen are taking great risks to earn money for you in the future, so don't abuse them, right? Give them warm clothes to let them sleep well."
Feiqi was stunned for a moment, snapped his fingers, summoned the little devil who was watching over the slave labor of the fallen, and asked it to introduce their management methods in detail. Lei Tingbai held his arms and listened, never giving the little devil any good face. From time to time, he lowered his voice and complained, "Despicable! Shameless!" and so on.
After the little devil was introduced, Feiqi thought for a while, and then said to Thunder Bai: "I just asked, it is indeed managed according to the method you described. These methods sound inhumane, but they are very necessary. Thunder Bai, don't treat those fallen people as human beings, they are just tools of hell. What you are talking about now is just a response to their evil deeds during their lifetime. Do you think they should live a better life?"
"At least they did not commit any crimes against the Levi Magic Empire and its people. Even if they were to punish them, it was not the Empire's business, right?" Lei Tingbai said: "They are here to be craftsmen, so they should be treated as craftsmen. If they were to be punished, it would be something after returning to hell."
After Lei Tingbai finished speaking, Feiqi stared at her for a whole minute, and then thought about her words carefully. Lei Tingbai's request is a kind self-requirement to kindness, and he must have a corresponding attitude towards craftsmen. This is nothing wrong. He wants the horse to run away and does not give it to grass. This is not punishment but doing evil.
"I can promise that after they complete training and go to work, the treatment of basic living needs such as food and accommodation will be the same as that of ordinary craftsmen, but holidays, salary is impossible, and freedom is even more so - they are fallen people of hell after all, and this has not changed." Feiqi said: "At the same time, those who fail to complete training, those who fail to complete the training, those who make mistakes again after becoming craftsmen are still the current arrangement."
"Is this the only way?"
Fitch nodded and said with a smile: "You have won a lot of things for them, and you should be proud of it. This way, managing the depraved is determined based on long-term observations and experiments, making changes and increasing their treatment, which will greatly increase the management and safety costs - I must send additional staff."
Lei Tingbai thought for a while and said, "Well, I think this arrangement is acceptable now. As long as they complete the training, they will be craftsmen, which is not bad. I will go back and hurry up the training and let them live a good life sooner."
"That's right." Feiqi encouraged. "If there is nothing else, you can take the apprentice of the new wand that you arrived today. Don't be nervous. Just these two groups of people, as long as they are trained, they will be enough to cope with the current production pressure. There will be no more increase in the number in a while. Go and do it quickly, I still have a lot of things!"
Is there anything wrong? Lei Tingbai looked around and there was no minister waiting for Feiqi to receive him, nor did he hold the documents waiting to be reviewed. Feiqi seemed to be in a leisurely state on the Iron Throne? "Okay, I'll leave now. End the training quickly and I have to recruit researchers."
When Thunder Bai walked out of the Throne Hall, Feichi's face became gloomy. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the little devil who had just reported to him and pulled it in front of him. Feichi's nails with his thumb became longer and pointed them at the little devil's throat like a short thorn. "Who asked her to care about the living conditions of the devil? What beds are those devils sleeping in, what food are they eating, how do you cast spells to control, and how do you reveal these things to her know?"
"Sir! Sir!" said the little devil quickly: "That girl can pass by at will. Your human guard at the Royal Magic Workshop will not stop her! And if she can see us directly, we cannot invisibly scare her away. Sir, I have used the hint of "There is nothing to see here", but it cannot produce any effect. Sir, I have worked hard!"
"What a hard work!" Feiqi pushed his thumb forward, and at the same time he used a powerful grip to tightly kill the little devil. It did not do a good job, and cast spells on the surrounding humans without Fitch's consent. This was a must have been executed. The little devil's warm blood flowed down from Fitch's fist and dripped on the Iron Throne. The little devil's invisibility failed, and its corpse was like a flattened bat, hanging on his hands with almost no weight.
"Useless waste." Feiqi ignited the little devil's corpse with magic, and then inserted it into the blade of the Iron Throne to burn quickly. After hearing the little devil's words, Feiqi suddenly felt a little unsure of the situation on the magic workshop, so he stood up from the throne, performed teleportation techniques, and looked at it with his own eyes.
The Magic Workshop is located not far from the Magic School and is part of the "Workshop Park". It concentrates the production of most handmade products in the Revi Magic Empire. Currently, the main products are shoes, cloaks and ceramic vessels. Influenced by the emperor's attention to agriculture and the construction of roads, the output of agricultural tools and vehicles here is increasing rapidly.
In Feich's view, they are still far from industry, and only their own Royal Magic Workshop has touched a little bit. Standardized production, minimizes the types and interchangeable parts as much as possible, pays more attention to professional rather than omnipotent division of labor, original assembly lines, and of course, the most important thing is the strict supervision and inspection of output and quality.
It must be very strict, because the White Flag Grocery Store will also conduct acceptance, and it has better detection technology than here - but unfortunately it cannot be used. This place will provide four times the income of the current empire, so Feiqi attaches great importance to the Royal Magic Workshop - he does not allow any problems here.
A guard who was directly responsible for the safety of the workshop was responsible for the security work of the forty people. The scale of forty people was not large, but twenty of them came from the Knights of Hell, and there was no problem with their combat effectiveness.
The teleported mana fluctuations aroused their alertness, so when Feiqi walked out of the space channel, he was delighted to see four magic guns aimed at his chest. "Very good, and he reacted quickly." Feiqi spoke while making an identification gesture in the Hell Knights. However, it was not until Kere came that the soldiers of the Hell Knights truly returned to their standby state.
Among the few people in the Ice Peak Fortress, Ssina and Momm did not like the Knights of Hell from the beginning, and went to the Sunset Mountains with the support of Feich and the Magic School. Several others had more or less experiences living in the Knights of Hell. Among them, Tron has become the deputy commander-in-chief of the Knights, and only obeyed Feich and became one of his arms. Giles and Kelly were instructors in the Knights, teaching the knowledge of monster hunters against monsters and survival in the wild to the members. Giles is still in the instructor position, and Kelly doesn't know what his mind is wrong, but he doesn't become an instructor, but passes the exam and becomes a member of the group. Currently, Giles is still in the instructor position, and Kelly doesn't know what he is thinking about. He doesn't become an instructor, but passes the exam and becomes a member of the group. Currently under Tron's command.
The Knights of the Hells are a lifelong profession. There is no such thing as retirement and transfer. There is only the first line of combat, the second line of warning, the third line of protection, and the fourth line of preparation. As an instructor, the Monster Hunter of the Ice Peak Fortress is not a member of the Knights of the Hells and is not affected by this regulation. In other words, if Giles wants to see the outside world, he can walk away with his sleeves. And there is no possibility of becoming a member of the group. Moreover, the salary of the group members is much less than that of the instructors...
Fitch completely couldn't understand Kelly's approach.
Kelly scratched his head. When he didn't want to salute the students he had passed by, he would use this kind of action to pass by. "Your Majesty, why have you sneaked up? Everyone has been nervous recently, so... If there is any offense, just bear it."
"No offense, you did it right." Feiqi looked around and everyone continued to go back to the patrol and guard posts, and no one eavesdropped on the side. He said, "Why are you here? The post here belongs to the second line of alert?"
"Deputy Tron... That boy probably didn't want to see me, lest he remembered the time I had trained him, so he arranged for me here." Kelly shrugged his shoulders, took out a small bottle from his pocket, pulled out a bottle plug, poured out a little snuff from it, and wiped it on his nose. He sniffed, and then said to Fitch: "Don't worry, I'm very safe and won't delay duty."
"How is the situation recently?" Feiqi pointed to the workshop.
"There is no problem inside, especially the craftsmen. We check in and out every day, regularly understand the family situation of these magicians, and make sure they live and work comfortably." Kelly then frowned slightly and pointed to the direction of the southwest corner of the workshop. "It is the prisoners you found that are a little troublesome. They give people a very evil feeling, but they are very obedient. Feichi, where did you find these people? I am afraid that they will have problems now."
“Have there been any problems at the moment?”
"That's not!" Kelly said: "That little girl Thunder White trained them, and those guys were like clay sculptures, eating and sleeping, and they would just sit obediently. When I saw them, I always felt a sense of hiding evil among them. If other comrades didn't have this feeling, I would even want to eliminate them all!"
It seems that Kelly sensed the hidden little devil, and the monster hunter's sense of smell is still stronger than that of the ordinary Hell Knights. "Don't worry, those guys are generally not capable of making trouble. If they dare not obey your management, just kill them directly. Don't hesitate. To put it bluntly, those guys who are extremely sinful, I want to check whether they are useful."
"Oh? So there is still this meaning in it. No wonder I saw some pastors from the church recently. Are they secretly preventing these criminals from escaping?"
"Ha, you discovered them!" Feiqi calmly reached out and patted Kelle on the shoulder, saying, "I think it is a very lucky thing to be able to receive your training after entering the Ice Peak Fortress. You are still very strong! Those pastors are not all for this. Just pretend that they are not aware of them and treat them as irrelevant passers-by. If ordinary people cannot enter, those pastors cannot come in. They must be treated equally and strictly enforced. Except for me, you cannot approach those criminals without responsibilities and orders, including Thunder Bai."
"I understand... I understand." Kailie understood Feiqi's meaning. It was indeed relaxing to let Thunder White pass freely. If such a thing is seriously investigated in the Knights of Hell, it would be a dereliction of duty. Feiqi did not pursue it this time, perhaps because he was also a responsible person, so he raised his hand. So Kailie nodded: "Strictly implement the regulations and treat this place as a battlefield."
"It's not enough to treat it as a battlefield. Just take the alert level. If it exceeds it too much, it will only increase fatigue and cause hidden dangers." After Feiqi finished speaking, he suddenly talked about family matters: "Why don't you be an instructor and come to be a member of the league? You don't want to find a way to overthrow Tron, right?"
