Peisetto is sixty-four years old this year. He was sent to the Gemansis Secret Order as an orphan when he was ten years old.
His magical talent was among the best in the Secret Order. At the age of thirty, he was promoted from an apprentice to a mentor. At the age of fifty, he entered the fifth level of spellcasters and became a spellcaster with a certain say in the Secret Order.
His powerful magical talent also made him lose himself in the power. In simple terms, he extremely looked down on those "unmarked people" who had no magical abilities.
This made Persetto an absolute radical in the Secret Order. He knew very well that the Secret Order possessed many powerful magics that other countries in this world could not compete with, so he believed that there was no need for the Secret Order to live in a small piece of land and live in peace with the world.
Those who were born unable to control magic should have submitted to the rule of the Secret Society.
But the radicals in the Secret Society were only a minority after all, and his ideas were opposed by the vast majority of spellcasters in the Secret Society, until a disaster called the Blood Crystal Beast struck and he obtained the method to control the Blood Crystal Beast and draw magic power from it.
His ambition began to expand rapidly. He no longer paid attention to the ideas of the senior elders of the Secret Society. He gathered a group of spellcasters who shared the same ideas as him, and wanted to incorporate the entire Far South Continent into the territory of the Gemansis Secret Society.
But there was a small mistake at the very beginning of this plan.
Originally, the first country that Peisetto planned to conquer was the Duchy of Leslota, but because of this portal, his plan temporarily changed to conquering the entire other world.
But when the blood crystal beast he was so proud of turned into meat paste for some unknown reason and fell beside him, the moment he realized that something was wrong.
"Surrender to this magic... Fan..." Pesetto was still not discouraged. The powerful force in his body made him forget himself a little. But before he could finish his lines, the staff in his hand shattered into debris.
"I repeat, give up resistance or I will shoot you dead!"
Persetto's followers did not believe Lu Cheng's words. Three of them prepared destructive magic, but before they could complete their magic, a gorgeous little red flower bloomed between their eyebrows.
The magic particles dissipated beside them, and the three of them knelt down at the same time, then fell to the ground, blood splattering all over the ground.
Pesetto looked at this scene and frantically wondered what was going on!
This is not a magical attack at all! Peisetuo did not sense any magical aura, and the group of people in the distance were all unmarked. Only from the leader did Peisetuo sense the aura of magic.
The Unmatched Master who couldn't even control the magic elements killed the caster in the blink of an eye
Persetto didn't believe that this would happen, and he was about to continue chanting offensive spells as a counterattack.
The portal behind him closed instantly, and the earth vein connection from the Gemansis Secret Society was also severed the moment the portal closed.
The magic deficiency reaction instantly swept over Peseto. It was like a fish being suddenly pulled out of the water and onto the shore. The feeling of suffocation was almost impossible for him to adapt to.
He covered his throat...the magic power in his body that belonged to the blood crystal beast began to run wild, and finally he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Persetto, who had restored his middle-aged appearance under the nourishment of magic, began to age rapidly. Wrinkles appeared on his cheeks, and then he fell into a faint.
… … …
Located in an interrogation room, Lu Cheng took a look at the data that had just been counted. There were a total of twelve traitors in the Secret Society. After Lu Cheng shot three of them dead, nine were left alive.
All nine of them are men, the youngest is thirty years old, and the oldest is the traitor leader, who is sixty-four years old.
According to the information provided by Master Winnie, only five of the nine people were members of the Secret Society in the past, and the leader, Pesetto, was also a senior mentor of the Secret Society.
Lu Cheng is now interrogating this senior mentor.
"I'm asking this question on behalf of Mr. Vinnie. Why did you betray the Secret Order?"
Lu Cheng put down the statistical form in his hand and asked the haggard old man in front of him.
"I didn't betray the Secret Society! The Secret Society holds the strongest power in the Far South Empire. We can even control the Blood Crystal Beasts. We should be the rulers of the Far South!" Pesetto seemed very excited.
"Are you...a junior high school student?"
After listening to his thoughts, Lu Cheng asked this question tentatively.
"What are you talking about?" Peseto was able to communicate with Lu Cheng patiently, purely because Lu Cheng was a Saint Crystal holder. If it was an Unmarked Person, he probably wouldn't even want to look at him.
"The second grade of junior high school is a grade that children around 14 years old attend in our country. Students of this grade will also have the idea of 'I want to conquer the world' just like you," Lu Cheng said.
"Are you mocking me?"
Peisetuo immediately realized that Lu Cheng was mocking his childish ideas in this way.
"No, it's good to have a childlike heart... Since you want to rule the Far South Continent, how about we talk about the detailed methods of ruling?" Lu Cheng asked.
"This... do you want to join me?" Peseto was a little confused by Lu Cheng's attitude, but Lu Cheng's words sounded like he had the same idea as him
"Let's just say I want to join you. First, suppose you rely on the blood crystal beast army to destroy the Far South Empire and take over all the countries in the Far South Continent. What are you going to do next?" Lu Cheng asked directly.
This question stumped Persetto. He thought Lu Cheng would ask, "What did you rely on to conquer the Far South Continent?" But Lu Cheng directly assumed that his plan was successful.
"First, I will eliminate those powerless people." Pesetto expressed his extremely cold-blooded opinion.
"Wait a minute, most of the unmarked ones are ordinary civilians. There are about 13 million unmarked ones in the Far South Continent, and only about 700,000 people with seals. If you kill so many people, the entire Far South Continent will become a deserted wilderness." Lu Cheng said seriously.
"Then... make them slaves." Persetto was speechless for a moment, and then added a new idea.
"Thirteen million people all become slaves? Who will be the slave owners? Those seal holders?" Lu Cheng asked.
"That's right!" said Persetto with certainty.
"Well, according to the data provided by Mr. Winnie, your Secret Order has only about 30,000 people, and only half of them are seal bearers with magic. Secondly, the number of people willing to follow you may be less than one-tenth. Other wild seal bearers, or spellcasters, on the continent may not obey your fate. How can you guarantee that they will obey your orders, enslave... their relatives or friends, and at the same time ensure your regime?" Lu Cheng asked again.
"I...the blood crystal beast I have can make them surrender!" Peseto gritted his teeth. For the first time, he felt his mind was so confused.
"The area of the Far South Continent is not small. Your control over the Blood Crystal Beasts can't cover the entire Far South Continent, right?"
"I can hand over the control of the Blood Crystal Beast to my followers!"
"But how can you guarantee that your followers will be loyal to you? They have the same power as you."
"They will definitely be loyal to me!" Persetto had somewhat lost his mind at this time.
"About this, half an hour before you woke up, I had already interrogated your remaining eight followers. They even told me where they came from and when you met them. The loyalty of these followers of yours... isn't very high." Lu Cheng's words made Peseto slam his handcuffed hands on the table in a mad manner.
"I will severely punish those betrayers! But none of this matters!" said Pesetto angrily.
"Why is it not important? You have conquered the entire Far South Continent. If the people on the continent don't obey your orders, it can't be considered a conquest, right? And you have to re-establish a regime. Haven't you figured out how you plan to rule so many people in the Far South Continent?" Lu Cheng asked again.
"No." Peisetuo said to Lu Cheng confidently.
"Then you conquered the shitty world." Lu Cheng suddenly changed from a secretary giving advice to an interrogator again. "Do you really think being a ruler is easy? You haven't even thought of a ruling system, you don't have any political experience, and you want to rule the world after learning a little magic? I'm afraid you'll be stabbed and killed by your own people along the way."
At this moment, Persetto fell into deep silence. He really hadn't thought about... thinking about what to do after the Secret Society or himself really ruled the Far South Continent
The more he thought about this problem, the more headache he had, and finally he fell into a state of doubting his life and the world.
Lu Cheng looked at his dazed expression and sighed slightly.
“You don’t stand a chance. Normally you entered the country illegally and we should deport you. But you also assaulted a police officer, so your sentence will be at least one year in prison.” Lu Cheng left the interrogation room after saying this.
Lu Cheng walked out of the interrogation room. Master Winnie and Nancy were both outside, looking at Lu Cheng with surprised eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng asked the crowd watching.
"I thought you would use torture to extract some information from him." Nancy said to Lu Cheng.
"I definitely need intelligence. I want to know where he got the method to control the blood crystal beast. But there is no such word as torture in our dictionary. There is only 'ideological education'."
This was just a little joke from Lu Cheng. The next interrogation is definitely necessary, but the problem to be solved now is...
Lu Cheng looked at Charlotte and Master Winnie. Charlotte almost had the word "depression" written on her face.
"Are you sure you don't want to go back and check the status of your own secret society?" Lu Cheng asked.
"I don't have enough magic power." Charlotte said sadly, "I can't open a second portal."
