In the following months, Talina lived a boring life. Every day, she was either pestered by Lavshini to talk about her past experiences, or pulled out by Abrana to follow her and listen.
As for the content of the audit, there are only a few, which are nothing more than some brainwashing content, such as racial conflicts and oppression from the upper class. These two topics keep going back and forth.
Talina's ears were callused from listening so much.
But it must be said that Abrana's eloquence was indeed very good, and even Talina couldn't hear anything wrong.
His ability to adjust the atmosphere and mobilize emotions is truly unique, and he is just one step away from saying 500,000 Lungmen coins.
"How was today's performance?"
After finishing her daily speech, Abrana returned to reality and came to Talina who was sitting beside her.
"Not bad, keep it up."
Talina answered weakly, smacked her straw twice, her eyes fixed on the yogurt in the bottle, and she didn't even look up at Abrana.
Seeing Talina's perfunctory attitude, Abrana was not angry. She just walked around behind Talina and took the yogurt bottle from her hand.
"After all that talk, I'm thirsty. Let me try some. I bought so much for you, you don't mind, right?"
Although she said polite words, Abrana's actions were very rude. She bit the straw that Talina had just been slurping.
"childish."
After making a sidelong complaint, Talina looked out the window, watching the Deep Pool members gradually disperse downstairs.
To be honest, Talina felt that this place was more like a shoe glue center than a reactionary organization. Every day was either brainwashing or brainwashing, and she didn't see Abrana leading them to accomplish anything.
It's far inferior to the guerrillas.
“It tastes pretty good.”
After finishing all the remaining yogurt in the bottle, Abrana threw the bottle aside and bent down to sit with Talina.
"After watching it so many times, what are your thoughts?"
Leaning back, Abbrana naturally put her arm around Talina's shoulders and pulled her into her arms.
Frowning unconsciously, Talina stabilized her body's center of gravity and did not get pulled.
"I don't have any opinion. I don't understand these things."
Still perfunctory, Talina didn't want to have anything to do with this shoe glue organization. It had nothing to do with her grudge with Abrana, she just didn't want to.
Abrana's methods are nothing more than brainwashing and violent oppression. She says she wants to help the people of Tara out of their predicament, but in fact she just uses them as pawns.
Talina couldn't accept this kind of playing with people's hearts.
Inconsistent words and actions, a smile hiding a knife, this is the label on Abbrana.
"You can say whatever you want, I just want to hear your opinion."
It was as if Abrana didn't understand what Talina meant by her refusal, and she continued to pester Talina tirelessly, without any airs of a leader of an organization.
"I said, I don't..."
Feeling a little impatient at the question, Talina turned sideways and prepared to leave.
She didn't want to be alone with this guy. Who knew if Abbrana would suddenly do something strange.
As soon as Kotalina stood up, Abbrana grabbed her wrist.
After pulling hard twice, Talina tried to break free, but Lovebrana held on tightly. Talina struggled for a long time but couldn't shake Lovebrana.
Abbrana was still smiling, but her smile was now a little threatening, and she took out a thin chain in her free hand.
Feeling a little uncomfortable with the buckle around her waist, Talina had no choice but to sit back down.
This is what Abrana uses to restrict her movements. To put it nicely, it's called a lock, and to put it bluntly, it's a chain for tying up pets.
Talina had gotten rid of the chain temporarily because of her excellent performance, but she didn't expect Abrana to carry it with her and even use it to threaten her.
"I don't know much, just treat it as a joke. Also, put that thing away and don't show it around in front of me."
Pushing Abrana's hand, Talina cleared her throat.
Seeing that Talina was so tactful, Abrana also put away her secret weapon.
I didn’t expect that what the book said was actually useful. It’s a good idea.
Secretly admiring the contents of the encyclopedia on feathered beast training, Abrana straightened up and prepared to listen carefully to Talina's "long talk".
She had no intention of asking Talina to make any constructive suggestions at all. She kept pestering Talina just to spend more time with her, which was a disguised way of reducing the time she spent with Lavshini.
Recently, Abrana has been considering whether to re-assign Talina's affiliation. Otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable seeing the two of them inseparable all day long.
"What do you think is missing from Deep Pool right now?"
Unexpectedly, Talina's first words left Abrana stunned, but she came up with her answer after a brief thought.
"What's missing? Money."
After making a light joke to lighten the mood, Abrana looked at Talina with a smile, but saw Talina's serious expression.
"I was serious!"
With a joking sound in her heart, Abbrana stopped joking and quickly adjusted her attitude.
"I don't know who's behind you, but judging by the current situation, you shouldn't be short of money, and you won't be short of people either thanks to your abilities."
"As for the territory, this underground fortress is quite large, so there won't be any problems for at least the next two years. You have money, people, and land, so you only lack one thing!"
Extending her index finger, Talina held it out in front of Abrana and swung it from side to side, saying with a smug look on her face.
In the past few months since she came to Deep Pool, she has not just been a casual fish. She has also gradually figured out the general situation of this organization during her daily strolls, so she seemed confident when facing Abrana's questions.
"what?"
Abbrana asked curiously, as Talina wished.
In stark contrast to her previous mentality, Abrana was now more curious about what insights Talina could offer.
"What's missing is... faith!"
After keeping the secret for a while, Talina quickly gave the answer after seeing Abrana's bad expression.
She didn't want the two of them to be frank with each other and have physical contact while talking.
"Faith? Isn't that what those charlatans in Lateran are talking about? Are your parents from Lateran?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Do you still want to hear it?"
Suddenly someone mentioned the topic that she hated, and Talina's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. She put her hands on her hips and looked at Abbrana with dissatisfaction.
Volume 4: Chapter 23: Religion, Faith, and... Redemption
"I'm listening, of course I'm listening. Just keep talking."
Raising her hands in surrender, Abbrana apologized and said she would definitely listen.
“That’s pretty much the same attitude.”
After muttering a few words, Talina put aside the slight unhappiness in her heart and continued her education.
"You're relying on hatred to bring them together. This method can effectively motivate them in the short term, but in the long run, once they discover something's amiss, they'll immediately turn their guns on you!"
"The price of deception, I don't need to explain this further, right?"
After making the pros and cons clear, Talina observed Abbrana's reaction so that she could proceed to her next step.
That’s right, Talina is just looking at the person to serve her best.
It was very dangerous to be with Abralina, a fickle person with scars. She might even take revenge if something went against her will, and Talina didn't want to face such a thing.
It’s better to just pick something she likes to hear to comfort her.
"and then?"
Correcting her previous careless attitude, Abbrana suddenly became serious.
She found that what Talina said seemed to really attract her a little.
Deep Pool is a collaborator of Wellington, and the leader Aburana is just a manipulator. The Duke of Wellington only needs to keep an eye on Aburana, and the organization will not make any waves.
Abrana felt uncomfortable knowing that the lifeline of her power was in someone else's hands, which was one of the reasons why she cooperated with Kosice.
Now that Talina has pointed out some hidden problems, Abrana also began to think seriously.
Just as Talina said, Deep Pool is an organization she gathered together using hatred, with hatred as its goal and hatred as its motivation, serving as fuel for the behemoth Deep Pool.
But hatred will gradually fade away with the passage of time. It is not enough to just do brainwashing work. Once the people below find out that you are just treating them as pawns, the outcome is self-evident.
Anyway, the whole body cannot be preserved.
Abbrana understood that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it, so she had to find a new target as a new engine for the deep pool.
The faith that Talina talked about is a very good thing.
It can make people indulge in the empty salvation and unable to extricate themselves, and the puppet being controlled can also turn into the "god" who grants them salvation!
"And then? Why not just do what Iberia did? Give them a belief, and let them believe that the suffering they endure is a necessary test before they can be redeemed."
"Pain is the process of redemption, and suffering is the price of piety. When material conditions are insufficient, survival requires spiritual fortitude. A group of people who rely on spiritual support can be very terrifying."
"If someone tries to destroy their faith, they must be prepared to face them. When the time comes, they will fight for their faith without your orders."
Talina expressed her understanding without any emotion, without any personal feelings.
As she said before, she was just an observer, so she could see certain things very clearly.
She had no opinion about Iberia, and she sympathized with the survivors after the Great Silence, but she was a little puzzled by their belief in Lateran.
That is the holy city of the Sakotas, and Lateran will only respond to the prayers of the Sakotas. Why?
Why would a group of people who had nothing to do with it pray to Lateran for salvation and to bring them out of those sufferings?
But as she grew older, Talina gradually understood everything. The survivors of the Iberian coastal cities had more of a yearning for a life that was not yet hopeless than a belief.
They just need a place to rely on to numb their spirits and make themselves believe that they can see the dawn.
That's it.
Faith is not scary, what is scary is giving up everything for faith. This is also the method that Talina told Abrana.
Having said this, Talina suddenly stopped, realizing that she might have said too much.
Isn't this leading Aburana to the path of shoe glue toe?
"anything else?"
Looking at Talina with lingering satisfaction, Abrana suddenly felt like she had made a profit.
Talina brought her more surprises than she had imagined. She didn't expect that a girl who was only about 20 years old would have such an opinion.
The suggestions and change methods proposed also coincide with her current thinking.
Maybe...it can bring me many unexpected ideas.
"Anything else? That's all I know."
Avoiding Abrana's gaze, Talina turned her head away and made up a random excuse.
"Really? But I always feel like there's a sequel~"
Seeing through Talina's cover-up, Abbrana questioned.
"It's just an illusion. What I just said is just some theories from a book I read a while ago. Whether it can actually hold true is still unknown."
"In that case, I won't embarrass you."
Without asking too many questions, Abrana planned to slowly dig out what was in Talina's mind. She wanted to see how many other things in Talina's mind interested her.
"I've had a great time today. In return for your advice, I'll temporarily remove your chains, but..."
Reaching into Talina's clothes, Abrana found the switch of the lock and fiddled with it a few times to open it.
With a rustle, the silver lock fell out of Talina's clothes.
Abrana picked up the lock that still carried Talina's body temperature and looked at Talina: "Don't even think about leaving. Without my permission, they will attack anyone who tries to leave. I don't want you to be lying down the next time I see you~"
After saying that, Abrana walked past Talina and left.
She also had to verify Talina's suggestion to see if it could be applied to the deep pool. This was the most important thing for her at the moment, and everything else had to give way to it.
No exceptions!
"Huh! Finally gone!"
