"Can this method really work? I have a feeling that the Pale God of today is completely different from the one of the past! Putting aside everything else, the methods of forced labor he uses now are something he would never have done before."
"It will definitely work! I've said it so many times, our demonstrations rely on the will of the people to come together, to show them what most of us think, and to force this Pale God to give in, rather than to inspire his so-called goodness!"
Queen Maria relied on the same method back then. Do you really think this Pale God is kind-hearted? No, he was just alarmed by the power of popular appeal!
And now, our appeal is just as strong! Look at this march and demonstration, James, even a Pale God will give in!
After all, he didn't want to lose public support!
In the great Sak City, among the slaves who had all fallen into slavery at the call of the Pale God, some clever men dared to once again incite a blasphemy.
The reason these great and wealthy people have the ideas they have today is that the high-ranking officials of the Holy Empire are 90% at fault.
First, the power of the Holy Empire was stolen from the Pale God through demonstrations and protests, and it is an indisputable fact that the Pale God was oppressed by the will of the people.
Secondly, for the past six years, the Holy Empire has been subtly brainwashing the people of the Southern Continent, and has even used newspapers and other media outlets to vilify the past holy name and sacred authority of the Pale God Norton. This is evident to all. In fact, many poor people have launched demonstrations to resist the Pale God in recent years. Although they were ultimately whipped by the guards of the Holy Empire, they still gave everyone a wrong impression.
They even thought this Pale God was weak and easily bullied!
The reason why they are at fault for 90% of the time is mainly because forty years have passed since the Pale God's "Toilet Wars." Their reputation for brutality has indeed diminished with the passage of time and their many years of seclusion, which is one of the reasons why they dare to launch these demonstrations again.
Therefore, as these wealthy people gathered together and began to demonstrate, the demonstrations grew increasingly larger and more powerful.
There are indeed countless people at the bottom of society in this world, but there are also many middle and upper-level people, and even small leaders and managers in various factories. They are also beneficiaries of the past. Although their lives are far inferior to those of the richest people at the top, they are much better off than they are now.
This led to a dramatic increase in the number of participants in the demonstration as soon as it was called for.
These people are intelligent, organized, and disciplined, which makes their voices increasingly louder.
Finally, when these so-called cries for freedom, along with their strike reports, were presented to the Pale God Norton, everything was beyond redemption.
"We demand freedom! We demand rest!"
"Change the system, restore our status!"
" The Pale God cannot confiscate our assets without cause; this is a serious violation of the law! This Pale God has violated the sacred laws of the Holy Empire!"
The streets were packed with people marching and demonstrating.
Now, just a few months later, many of these former rich people have not yet starved to a normal size. Although they are wearing slave uniforms, they still act arrogantly, as if they have not lost their former noble status.
To make their protest more direct and effective, they specifically chose a street just a wall away from the Sak City Monastery, where the Pale God resides, to stage their protest.
In doing so, their massive momentum will inevitably provoke the wrath of this Pale God, who will surely severely punish the leaders of this demonstration. However, for the sake of the city's stability, God will also have to make certain compromises, as has been the case in the past.
As they expected, their massive protest did indeed attract Norton's attention.
The pale, slender monster stood silently on the balcony railing atop the newly built Holy See, gazing into the distance and admiring the scenery before it.
Its perfectly holy head was adorned with a pure silver crown, which even featured white gemstones mined from the deep sea. Its body remained completely naked, but a long, narrow silver cloak draped over its back, the end of which resembled a phoenix tail, trailing long across the ground and intertwining with its long, flowing, pale silver hair, making it appear even more perfect and holy.
It must be said that although Norton's character has always been questionable, his appearance has become quite impressive after advancing to the Fourth Stage.
However, the Pale God who was enjoying the scenery had his good mood ruined by the shouts coming from the street just a wall away.
As the Pale God, whose hearing is already exceptionally good, his constant shouting from just a wall away, as if from a bustling marketplace, is truly making one's brows furrow.
Just then, Abraham arrived with a report of the collective strike by the wealthy, looking anxious and walking hurriedly.
He is now trying his best to appear loyal, even for such trivial matters, he has to wait until now before hastily submitting all reports to seek His Majesty's advice.
This is a very important point, and also a lesson Abraham recently realized.
You have to leave a record of your work, otherwise you won't get the credit.
If this demonstration is quelled by Abraham before it even begins, then Your Majesty will not see Abraham's efforts at all!
Now he's waiting for this group to escalate the situation, bringing it to His Majesty's attention, so that Abraham can quickly and forcefully resolve it. Wouldn't that demonstrate Abraham's competence?
In this way, even if His Majesty knew that Abraham was disloyal, His Majesty would not be willing to kill him!
It must be said, Abraham has truly come to his senses now!
Sure enough, Norton's irritated voice rang out as soon as Abraham opened his mouth.
"Your Majesty..."
"Kill them all!"
"Yes!"
Abraham was overjoyed; this was truly a double blessing!
He, Abraham, knew that His Majesty now desired the War Machine of the Northern Continent, but His Majesty did not know that Abraham knew His Majesty wanted the War Machine of the Northern Continent. At the same time, he also deduced that His Majesty was able to completely monitor him, Abraham.
The War Machine of the Northern Continent needs human souls.
He could then use this incident to deliberately stage a scene for His Majesty, showing that he had sent people to the Northern Continent so that they would devote all their efforts to building War Machine. In this way, even though Abraham was disloyal, he would still be His Majesty's most perfect subordinate for solving problems!
In this way, His Majesty will be even more satisfied with him, and will not only spare his life, but may even give him more autonomy.
Most importantly, through this performance, he could present His Majesty with a false impression: that his Pale God Norton had completely mastered his loyal dog, Abraham, through his wisdom!
In that case, Your Majesty will be even less likely to kill him!
After all, it's easy to judge who is easier to exploit: a known traitor or an unknown mole!
In this way, Abraham could openly establish his identity as a traitor without being executed by His Majesty, and he could also continue to follow His Majesty in trying to find opportunities for advancement. He could also continue to obtain new information to pass on to the outside world, thus betraying His Majesty. At the same time, he could occasionally choose to betray the Southern Continent or even the Garden of Eden, and with His Majesty's protection, he would not be attacked by the masses.
In this way, Abraham won big!
Anyway, Abraham's disloyalty wasn't a one-off occurrence, and Your Majesty was already used to it. Now, his disloyalty had actually done what Your Majesty truly desired, so this disloyalty was, in a way, a form of loyalty!
