Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 341 Ocean of Consciousness

The trial of Raven soon began.

Taking into account the nature of the Black Crow Secret Party, in order to prevent anyone from rescuing them or sneaking into the royal capital, Lind chose to execute them directly.

Raven was honored to become the first high-level professional to be executed by the secular authorities in all these years.

As for the Black Crow Secret Party, the two sides had a lot of bad accounts. Lind hadn't yet sought to settle accounts with the Black Crow Secret Party, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to come to him.

Capet told the liberated high-level professionals in a very tough attitude that Capet now did not welcome those who entered other people's homes without saying a word.

Of course, Linde welcomes cooperation.

Deborah witnessed the entire process of the Inquisition's trial. The Inquisition was composed entirely of Lind's guards, and they had some equipment in their hands that even Deborah couldn't name. This made Deborah a little worried as she held the Holy Grail in her hand.

Deborah once heard the elves in the tower talk about the era of the Old Empire. The technology level in the Old Empire was very advanced, but it was different from Capet. Magic was still something high and mighty, unlike now, when even ordinary workers in factories could come into contact with magic.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lind's words brought Deborah back to reality.

"Don't worry. Under normal circumstances, the power of the Inquisition will not be used. Only those high-level professionals who are truly lawless will take the route of the Inquisition."

Lind thought Deborah was frightened by the fact that a high-level professional was executed so easily, so he went out of his way to comfort Deborah.

"To be honest, this was completely unintentional, because we had to ambush in advance to succeed. It is really difficult to catch a flexible high-level professional with such a small loss. If conditions permit, I still want to solve the problem of most high-level professionals through communication."

After saying that, Linde glanced at Deborah. It was Deborah who originally proposed this meeting, but seeing that Deborah didn't seem to have thought of what to say, Linde had to continue chatting: "I'm curious about how your tower manages those professionals. Can you tell me about it?"

Shifting the topic to areas that the other person is familiar with can somewhat ease the other person's current nervousness.

“The way these professionals are managed has gotten out of control.”

Deborah shook her head and continued, "Of course, the God of Contract can only manage those professionals in our tower who have changed their beliefs. As for the high-level professionals now, most of them are non-staff members and will not be forced to change their beliefs, so naturally they are not managed by the God of Contract."

After that, Deborah briefly introduced the system of the tower to Lind.

How to manage these non-staff personnel? In addition to managing the people in the tower who believe in the God of Contract, the tower will also establish a cooperative relationship with these non-staff personnel.

The tower possesses vast resources and secret knowledge, including many ways to help professionals increase their strength. These are not available in secular countries or are difficult to access.

In the tower, you only need to go out on field trips, do some tasks, and assist the tower in completing some research, and you can easily obtain these resources.

In addition, those people in the tower who have changed their beliefs, unless they have mental problems, will basically choose to obey.

If you want to play badly, that's even better. The tower has plenty of ways to make you play badly comfortably.

Whether you want to pursue power, forbidden knowledge, or simply want to be bad, the Tower can make your wish come true as long as you are willing to abide by the rules of the Tower. Even if you really can't let go of worldly concerns, as long as it's not too excessive, the Tower will turn a blind eye.

The only people that are not welcome in the Tower are ambitious people.

To be honest, the management method is a bit like the sects in the world of immortal cultivation. Everyone is doing missions while practicing hard in order to reach the so-called end of magic and knowledge.

"In that case, why doesn't the Tower just rule the world, but instead stays in the Tower?"

Linde spread his hands and said, "Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to manage this continent directly?"

"We can even make the God of Contract the mainstream belief, so that no one will dare to break their promise."

Deborah shook her head and said, "No, the God of Contract is not as smart as you think. How do we distinguish between subjective and objective betrayal of a contract? What if someone uses the God of Contract and the traps in the contract to control others? From the moment it was born, the God of Contract was destined to be a tool that can only be used in a small range."

"Even we who believe in the God of Contract have to regularly maintain and update the data of the God of Contract, not to mention promoting the God of Contract on a large scale and relying on the God of Contract to rule the world."

In other words, the effect of the God of Contract is compulsory, which makes sense. Only with sufficient compulsion can those high-level professionals be controlled.

"As for why we don't rule the world, I understand what you mean. It seems that for us, with so many high-level professionals, ruling the world seems to be a very simple thing."

"Regardless of whether this is true or not, perhaps the world and you have misunderstood our tower. Our tower's main job is not to restrain and manage these high-level professionals. This is just a byproduct of our ultimate goal."

This actually involves the essence of the tower, but after touching the Holy Grail in her arms, Deborah decided to explain it clearly to Lind. After all, although Lady Anna's judgment was a bit outrageous, the result was correct. This Governor can be trusted, and now that the God of Contract is paralyzed, there are many things Deborah can tell Lindming.

"In fact, some of your subordinates have already come into contact with this knowledge - do you know about collective subconsciousness?"

Lind nodded and said, "Personal consciousness, subconsciousness, and collective subconsciousness, right?"

Deborah was about to continue speaking, but after hearing Lind's words, she opened her mouth wide and stood there in a daze.

"Where did you get this knowledge? Have colleagues from other towers contacted you? Or have the nuns' research on dreams reached this point?"

This was the first time that Deborah felt that Lind was so strange, and she seemed to not understand the governor in front of her at all.

Seeing Deborah's expression, Lind tried to continue: "What I know may be different from what you know, so you should listen first."

"If the individual consciousness is compared to an island on the sea surface, then the subconscious is the extension of the island underwater, connected to the seabed, and the boundless seabed is the collective subconscious, right?"

"Your metaphor is quite novel."

Deborah said, “And it’s much more accessible. You’re right.”

"The collective unconscious, or the seabed you mentioned, is what we call the ocean of consciousness."

“That is the true source of human dreams and beliefs.”
