Chapter 271 Details of the Dream World
Ott took Rhodes to the newly built shacks on the edge of the town. These shacks were not specially built for cultists and prisoners, but for people who came to work in the town from other places.
Since the town started construction, other towns and villages on the territory, and even some unemployed people across the river, have come to the town to find suitable jobs.
Some people joined Quentin's construction team, some people came to do some small business with goods, and there were also many women who came here to do skin and meat business.
After many people have a stable income, it is easy to misuse the money in their hands, especially those single men.
When you have money, you go to the tavern to be cool, and when you run out of money, you huddle in the shack with other people who have also spent the money. This practice has become a spending habit of many outsiders.
The owner of the tavern has been grinning from ear to ear every day recently. He has never had such a good business. This made Baron, who always cared about small money, also want to open a tavern in the small town.
"They're here." Otto said, pointing to a shack.
Rhodes nodded. Although he has been practicing martial arts every day these days, he basically understands everything in the town.
The management of the cultists and other prisoners here was formulated by Rhodes himself.
He asked these people to supervise each other, and rewarded those who reported the idea of escaping or being lazy at work, and every day Quentin would choose one of the most active people to reward.
The prize is to let them eat a meal of meat, which is still very attractive to the prisoners who can only eat half full of bread every day, and the cultists and robbers do not know each other, and the robbers are not all in the same group Yes, it was captured by Baron from different places.
Those who are lazy at work will be reported by others, and those who work actively may get meat, so they all choose to work actively.
As for if you want to escape and be reported or caught back, you have to be whipped and start with ten strokes.
Rhodes walked into the shack pointed by Ott, and there were tired cultists and robbers lying on the dry straw. Although they looked tired, they looked better than when Rhodes saw them the first time a lot of.
I live and exercise regularly every day, and I don't eat too badly, and I can eat more than half full.
It was so dark that they didn't see that it was Rhodes, and they all lay there without moving.
Rhodes looked among the group of people, and he found the highest status among the group of cultists, that is, the one who was preaching among the villagers at that time, and Rhodes also found the magic item that could confuse people's hearts from him.
He used the mage ball to pull the cultist who was lying on the ground over, "I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" the cultist asked nervously.
Rhodes carefully looked at the cultist. He looked about 20 years old. When Rhodes saw him for the first time, he was sallow, emaciated and dirty all over, like a refugee in his 30s.
After undergoing labor reform, on the contrary, I feel much more energetic and my body is clean.
Rhodes was worried that so many people crowded together would cause diseases, so he forced all residents in the town, including these prisoners in labor reform, to take a bath at least once a week.
"Is the god you believe in a big black cat?" Rhodes asked.
"It's a huge black lion with wings," the cultist replied.
Rhodes nodded. He felt that the cultist was a bit strange. What the cultist said seemed to disrespect the god he believed in.According to Rhodes' past experience, this cultist should say that the incarnation of the god he believes in is a huge black lion with wings.
Did the labor reform make him give up his original belief?
Rhodes felt that the image of the black cat he saw at first was the body of the evil god, and later grew wings, or that the black lion with wings these cultists saw was just a way to show power camouflage.
"How is your status in your sect?" Rhodes asked.
"It's almost like the pope and the archbishop. Our sect has very few people, and most of the current people are developed by me." The cultist replied.
"To be honest with you, I don't believe in it at all. I just want to climb to a high position and control the people under me to seek benefits for me, so I joined it. I didn't expect that they were really brainwashed by that evil god. Every day I am lazy and do nothing, and I often come to help them." He continued.
Rhodes was a little speechless. In this way, it is estimated that other sects are similar. The people above are very clear, and only the people below are brainwashed by the teachings.
"What's your name?" Rhodes asked.
"Raff," the cultist replied.
"Tell me about your sect, mainly about the dream world." Rhodes said again.
"You also know about the dream world? Did it pull you in and try to brainwash you?" Raff asked suspiciously.
"How did it brainwash you?" Rhodes was a little curious, and he might be able to learn it in the future.
"Simply put, it allows us to experience things we don't have in real life when we sleep." Raff replied, "I have studied it carefully for a while, and it encourages us to do nothing and sleep more.
It is because we can provide it with energy when we sleep, normal people will be in good spirits after sleeping for eight hours, but we may need to sleep for eighteen hours to achieve the effect of sleeping for eight hours.
After doing so many things every day recently, its influence on me has weakened a lot, as if as long as I don't dream, it won't provide energy to it. "
Rhodes nodded, "What's going on in the dream world?"
He knew very well that Raff would explain so much to him just to improve his favor. After all, Rhodes still held the power of life and death over Raff.
As long as Rhodes says a word, Raff can get rid of his status as a prisoner and regain his freedom.
"I used to look for books related to the dream world in order to find out the means of that evil god, and then I finally found it in a grocery store. It took me several months of savings to buy that book. I don't know. I know how to read, so I spent money to find a down-and-out nobleman to read the contents of the book to me..." Raff said.
"Speak simply, use your generalization ability, I didn't ask how you got that book." Rhodes interrupted Raff.
"That book's explanation of the dream world is not very clear. It says that there are countless dream worlds in our world. Every human gathering place, no, it should be said that it is near the gathering places of creatures with higher intelligence like humans. There will be a dream world.
The more intelligent creatures there are in the gathering place, the wider the dream world will be and the more perfect the rules will be.In fact, it is not so much a dream world as it is a gathering place of countless fantasies. It is more appropriate to call it a consciousness world, but if you want to enter it, you must fall asleep.
Some conscious worlds have a ruler like the evil black lion god, but most of them don't, and the evil black lion god only controls the small town and some villages across the river.
It has always wanted us to develop power in Qingliu City. The conscious world of that city is still unowned. If it can get it, its power will increase a lot. Raff thought for a while and replied.
Rhodes nodded after listening.
In this way, maybe the body of the evil god is actually a certain little black cat in the town?
