Chapter forty-eight to make them agree (outbreak
What Valed expects is an absolutely eternal order. And that order does not only include the undead. If this is heard by his aunt, Count Nephrata, the label "really a psychopath" in his impression of him will probably never be able to take it away.
However, Vared was still talking, saying: "So, I always felt that Sylvania had a problem with the people under her rule. Indeed, it was a benefit to make them afraid. In fact, even if it was not Sylvania, the lords in other regions still focused on intimidation when facing the people. But while intimidation, we lacked a respect.
Respect, respect, and love may not be needed. But if I can, I also want to try the feeling of being loved by the people of humanity - well, these are not the point, the point is, I think we should make our people feel better about us.
It is not like the South County and the New County, because it is helpless and suspicious of our force. It is not like the Sylvania natives, where the people are numb to our rule.
What we have to do is to let them support us from the bottom of their hearts. We think that we, we vampires, and our dark night relatives are the best candidates to rule them.
Of course, I know that this is not easy. In fact, it is not a difficult level. It can be said to be difficult, even more difficult than difficulties.
But there is a way.
The solution is education.
I want to popularize education.
Brainwashing education.
Children who are not old enough to participate in the physical labor of adults and do nothing all day long are organized to let them read and read, and let them learn some basic knowledge - of course, that is mathematics, philosophy, astronomy, common sense physics, chemistry and literature - of course, the most important thing is philosophy.
Philosophy, outlook on life, values and worldview. The abbreviation is the three views.
Let these children establish the right view, at least what we think is the correct view. They need to agree with our rule and realize that we, we vampires, are the best candidates to rule them - I said this before, right? But no problem, I can say it again.
And you may have to ask. We don’t have enough staff as teachers—but this is wrong—we have enough staff—in a few decades, we will have a large number of staff, the mass-produced semi-dead people educated by the Vampire Academy.
We want them as teachers to educate ordinary, ordinary human children.
That's it, vampire-half-dead-human. The social structure of the three-story building. That's my whole plan."
After saying this long monologue, Valed showed an expression of "How is it? Come and praise me quickly". In fact, Alice did feel that if, if this plan could be really implemented, it would be as Vared thought. The people of Sylvania would have completely become a country completely different from Bartonia, Tyriel, Sigma Empire and Skief.
A country that accepts vampires’ rule—no, not external, but from the bottom of the heart and from the spiritual level. People do not passively accept or are numb. Instead, they identify with this rule from the heart—it may take generations, or even dozens of generations, constantly instill the same knowledge in them, allowing them to live in this environment.
But as mentioned before, Vared once said: "Vampires do not lack time."
So it will succeed.
If...
With this alone, Sylvania can be completely renewed. It is natural to improve its national strength, just as it is natural for people to eat and sleep.
"Indeed, it's a good idea..." Alice nodded, and admired Valed from the bottom of her heart.
After that, Vared, Alice, and other vampire fellow vampires who worked in the Lord’s residence, had lunch. In the afternoon, he took a carriage to the college. Although Vared’s current identity is completely different, as long as you inform Dean Asta, Dean Asta will naturally come to his residence - but doing so is too inhumane.
No, it is not that it is because Dean Asta was once Valed's teacher. Of course, in fact, if it were just this relationship, Valed would be likely to do the same thing - of course, in that case, the degree would be different.
What is it...or what else does it mean... it is because of Dean Asta's body.
He was only a few hundred years old, but he looked like an old man. He was even older than Valed's other teacher, Elson. He was obviously all the other vampires of the same age as him were healthy, young and strong.
However, Dean Asta was aging strangely.
Moreover, the aging is almost gone.
Maybe he will die soon.
Vared refused to think about this himself. At the same time, in his conversation with Dean Asta, he tried hard to avoid talking about topics such as age and time. He even rarely said such words as destiny.
Of course, Dean Asta himself was optimistic. He claimed that his enemies died decades earlier than him. He has made a profit until now.
Of course, the enemy is very obvious, referring to the poor human who was a predecessor of Steerland... or a former duke. He was troubled by the dark energy magic of Dean Asta and suffered a long time before he died tragically - and now, it is this military hero's turn.
"I have understood what you mean. Although teachers may have some resistance to children who educate humans. But I will find a way to convince them."
In the dean's office, Dean Asta looked at his proud disciple with a smile. After Valed explained his purpose, he agreed.
"After all, this is a favorable thing for the Earl Castein, and even for the entire Silvania," said President Asta.
"Then please ask you. Please solve the problem of the venue. I will also send the food and accommodation expenses of these human children to the Finance Department."
In this way, the main thing was over. Valed originally wanted to stay with the teacher for a while. But Dean Asta knew that the student was busy with affairs and did not want to cause trouble for him. So he refused his kindness and sent him away.
In this way, Vared left again. In the ghost carriage, he poked his head out of the window and looked at the white tower of the academy that was gradually moving away behind him...
"Maybe soon, I will never see you again with Teacher Asta." When Vared thought of this fact, he felt a little sad.
This is how the world is, burying some things and giving birth to some things. It just goes on and on and on and on... The world itself has its own rules and laws. It is the most fundamental existence that transcends all powers. Not to mention Valed, even God can do nothing about it.
Alice, who was sitting next to Valed, could also see that Valed was in a very bad mood. So she wanted to say something else to distract his attention.
"Speaking of this, whether it is an extension to the bureaucracy, or purchasing, obtaining young children and educating them, it is an extra expense. Do we, I mean, Earl Castein, have already budgeted for this expense?"
"Budget... Speaking of which, I taught you this word, and I can learn it and apply it." Vared as he sighed, and retracted: "Of course, this is indeed a expense. In fact, the basic financial situation of the Earl Castein is actually not very good.
Stabilize the New County and the South County. Build a defense net south of the New County to fight with the Green Skin. Carry out post-war rebuilding. In addition, in the planned establishment of a mountain fortress defense system with the Nirakochi family in the north. All of these cost a lot of money."
Vared a little, and then continued: "Before this, we obtained a lot of seizures and spoils from the Prince of the Frontier. And we also received a large amount of war reparations from the Principal of Ive. However, all of this money has been spent on the things mentioned before. And this is a fortune that cannot be done for a long time."
"So what should we do?"
"What should I do? Of course, it is to open up new sources of wealth." Vared shrugged: "Smuggling our industrial products to human countries has always been a very good way of wealth. Whether it is high-end luxury goods or daily necessities, as long as the price is right, there will be a shortage of supply. Unfortunately, the amount of transportation that smuggling can be transported is still a little small. In addition, we have too few smuggling channels..."
Vared sighed: "This is nothing to do. It is obviously a good cargo, but it can only be transported to Tyril, and then it's all. Those Tyril's bastards can use the convenience of sea transportation to transport the goods to Arabia, and even other kingdoms farther away, and even Usulan, in exchange for more rewards. It's even more than what we, the manufacturer of products, earn. It's really unfair."
"So what. What do you want to do?"
"I want to get a port on the coast of the Central Seas and build a transportation network for maritime trade. Then transport the magical industrial products of Sylvania to the world. Or I want the Sigma Empire, the Dwarf Kingdom, and other countries to unblock our trade blockades, so that our goods can be transported directly into their countries, but I think these things are impossible."
"You know it's impossible..." Alice was a little weak.
"So, it's very simple for me to do things in a short period of time. I want to use the Lamiya family, which is much more mature than us, to accumulate wealth by transporting goods." (To be continued.
