"Your Excellency, what's the matter?" Lu En looked at the young man in front of him and asked politely.

What appeared in front of him was the "Elder", the actual person in charge of the higher vampires.

"I can see that you, King of Monsters, are in a bad mood. Do you mind going to my place to have a chat? Maybe I can have a solution to your troubles." The elder said to Lu En with a smile.

"Do you know what I have to face? Let's talk about a solution?" Lu En did not respond directly, but asked rhetorically.

"I think I understand it very clearly." The elder replied with a smile.

"Then...lead the way." Lu En nodded, saying that it was his duty and there was no harm in going.

————————

In the shadow world, the elder met Lu En in his true form for the first time.

Even someone like Lu En, who has seen big scenes, couldn't help but admire it, it was so spectacular.

The formless, pure shadow behemoth almost single-handedly controls the Shadow Realm. The elders here are like Lu En in hell, blessed with the indescribable power of the realm and gaining home field advantage.

There is no doubt that this powerful man who rules the high-level vampire clan can also exert a combat power close to level 10 at home.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense. After all, if you don't have this level, how can you lead the Night Familia, an extremely powerful race?

You must know that pure-blooded high-level vampires are not even classified as monsters. They are an independent race just like dragons. After all, strength is the last word. If you want to be respected, you must strive for your own strength.

"It seems that I surprised you." The elder's voice did not change at all, and the shadow beast still sounded the frivolous voice of the young gentleman.

"Indeed." Lu En nodded and admitted.

He has never been to such a deep shadow world. Everything here feels very novel to him. This kind of experience is rare. With his own strength, it is almost impossible for him to sneak into such a deep shadow world. From the touch of his feet...

...This is most likely the deepest level of the Shadow Realm, the shadow of the Shadow.

"But you also surprised me. Are you really not afraid of me when you come here? In this place, if I take action, you will probably not be able to go back. Why do you believe me so much?" the elder asked interestingly.

asked.

"These meaningless topics can be put to an end. I have always believed that trust is mutual, right?" Lu En did not make any further excuses.

If you don't even have this bit of courage and magnanimity, and still hesitate to accept an invitation from an ally, then you are too petty and can't accomplish great things.

"Very good, then come with me to meet someone, and let's chat while we walk." The elder put away his true body, reappeared next to Lu En in his human form, and invited him to walk in a certain direction.

The nearby high-level vampires all gave way to show their respect for the two nobles.

"You asked me before if I knew your current troubles. I can answer your question now." The elder said.

Lu En walked forward in silence, listening to the other party's explanation.

"I think your current troubles are mainly caused by one small thing and two big things."

"The first little thing, which is what you are most hesitant about right now, is how to solve the problem of Miss Bai's rebirth."

"After all, the body and the body have always been two sides of the same body. Generally, the soul cannot last long after the original body dies. This is a conceptually destined thing and cannot be made up for. Her current body has been frozen by you in some way, right? But

This shouldn't be of much use, unless she is willing to be trapped in one place for the rest of her life, but in that case, you definitely don't want to lose such a powerful subordinate like this, so I have come up with a way for you."

"How do you say that?" Lu En asked without refuting.

Although the actual situation is that Lu En wants Bai to rest, but Bai wants to continue working, but there is no need to say this.

"You will understand when you meet a person. I can solve this problem for you." The elder smiled.

Then, he continued: "The second big thing that worries you is probably the changes in the times."

"There is no doubt that we are in a time of change."

"Because all aspects of many policies of the empire's upper echelons are at a standstill, they do not respond quickly, with the exception of aspects related to internal strife among peers."

"Despite this, or rather, precisely because of this, there are often attempts to reform, trying to make some reforms in the most urgent and important social and political relations. The drama of the new working class directed by you is going on.

Forcing the empire to make improvements, the opinions of the upper and lower levels are being torn apart, and there has even been a debate about normative laws. I think you must have heard of this."

"In an empire that has always been conservative and stable as its main principles, there will be unexpected disputes between two upper-level political parties over a reform bill! Moreover, even the Imperial Reform Party gained power for the first time in hundreds of years.

It is enough to illustrate the strangeness and rarity of the current situation.”

"The lower class people who are increasingly awakening and rushing towards conscious resistance have undoubtedly become the only enemies of the empire's current system, but the empire still wants to tame them and hope that they can become a force that can be utilized."

"You and I both know very well that the empire's vision and power have made the new workers' union at the grassroots their target."

"To fight against such a target, the Empire does not want to use violence. Even if the Empire has the most cruel, organized and comprehensive violence in the world, he does not want to use it."

"For such a goal, the empire's choice is to pretend that it cannot be taken lightly and has to make concessions. You and I both understand that this kind of concession is insincere, incomplete, completely hypocritical, specious, and always on the side

It’s a cleverly concealed trap, but after all, the concession is a concession from the supreme empire.”

"This kind of advance and retreat constitutes a change in an entire era. Am I right? King of monsters." The elder looked at Lu En.

Lu En had to admit that this high-level vampire who had lived for who knows how long and whose title was even called 'Elder' did indeed have precise and sharp eyes that pierced to the core. Although he did not understand the real era at all, after all, he had his own

limitations, but in fact, the entire transformation has been described very thoroughly by him.

"There is no doubt that you are right." Lu En nodded.

After getting a positive answer, the elder continued with satisfaction: "So, your first big worry is how to control the direction of change."

"Broader and wider masses are being drawn into the struggles you create. The crisis is only just beginning to approach. Hundreds of people die in each struggle, while thousands more become more angry and more violent.

Brave and more trained new people emerge."

"But you know, this is all temporary."

"With the controversy over the canonical laws, the Empire has now made their choice. In order to tame these fighting warriors, there is only one way."

"That divides them."

"The fighters you attracted were divided, the workers were divided into various castes, and the police and business bosses did everything possible to hinder the unity and union of workers, not only between different industries and different guilds, but also between different nationalities and different genders.

, creating and inciting disputes between workers of different ages, different grades, and even different wage levels, etc."

"This will cause these passionate warriors to use their struggle against their companions. They will bleed in the internal fighting, exhaust all their energy, and ultimately be unable to resist the domestication of the empire."

"And I have a way to help you resolve this split, and it's better than the method you are using now." The elder blinked.

Lu En began to frown.

Better than your own method?

Of course he knew what method he was using. It was actually very simple, and that was education.

If you want to prevent workers from killing each other, you need to strengthen education so that they are deeply aware of their own strength and class, and let them understand that only by uniting can they form a force that the empire can take seriously.

Through education, they must understand that without true freedom, any form of labor movement can only be a pitiful scam, and the proletariat will still stay in prison, without the sunlight necessary to fight for its complete liberation.

, air and room for movement.

This method is very tiring, but it is a once and for all method. However, I don’t know what the elder’s method is.

"As for the method I gave you, we will talk about it later. Let's talk about the second major trouble you face."

"The second thing is the emergence of extremists."

"You should know very well that the turmoil you caused will inevitably breed extreme ideas, because you exposed the dark reality to them and let them know how unfair the suffering they suffered in the past was."

"But they don't have enough education or enough sense to think about how to change. Their minds are only filled with one thing, and that is revenge."

"At this time, all it takes is the provocation of some thoughtful people, and they will become victims and the signs of classification, because their extreme ideas can easily be distorted and used by the empire to divide the workers you instigated."

Lu En didn't reply, but he admitted this.

It is impossible for workers to have social democratic consciousness. For them, this consciousness can only be instilled from the outside. In another world, the history of various countries has proved one thing, that is, the working class can only rely on itself.

With their strength, they can only form the consciousness of trade unionism, that is, they are convinced that a trade union must be formed and that they must fight against the factory owners. Apart from this, they cannot go further. This is their limitation.

Moreover, they are more likely to be fooled by the bourgeois aristocracy, because the spontaneous movement of workers' union will always move along the line of least resistance, and they will be controlled by the bourgeois ideological system.

The reason is simple. The origins of the bourgeois ideological system possessed by the empire are much older than the ideological system that was spread or spontaneously born among workers. It has been more comprehensively processed and has incomparably more communication tools.

The empire can easily use the tool of public opinion to fool workers, deceive them, and divide them.

Although generally speaking, the theory brought by Lu Ensuo points out the reasons for the suffering of the lower class more profoundly and correctly than any other theory, so these lower class people can easily understand this theory, as long as the theory itself does not succumb to spontaneity,

As long as the theory subjects spontaneity to it.

But the problem is that if we only use our own conscious work to accelerate the objective development process, instead of canceling the objective development process or replacing it with subjective plans, we will eventually end up being manipulated by the empire.

Because this objective development process may be correct, but it is creating or consolidating, destroying or weakening certain classes, certain strata, certain groups, certain nations, and certain ethnic groups. This is also an indisputable fact.

This will obviously put the business into the predicament caused by the first difficulty, that is, it will start to break up.

In the end, these reasons have only one consequence, and that is that the workers begin to split, and some of them begin to go on extreme and self-destructive paths. What they pursue is not the liberation of the entire world, but only the physical elimination of their opponents.

And workers will naturally start to oppose internally because of these people's extreme methods, and eventually fall into greater divisions due to differences of opinion.

Although these two major events are actually two events, they are essentially one.

However, the elders seemed to divide them into two pieces.

"I don't know how you want to solve this problem, but I also have a good way, which I will tell you later." He said to Lu En.

"All ears." Lu Enze showed humility at this moment.

If the elder really has a better way, he doesn't mind using it.
