Chapter 164 Hidden danger
Kain had another strange dream.
Or rather, that dream came back, he just didn't remember it.
Fire, sky and architecture collapsed.
"Kain..."
It seemed like someone was calling his name.
Kain tried to remember every detail, as if it were his instinct.
He didn't understand what was happening, but his instincts told him to remember these things, remember all of them.
But all in vain.
As Kain's consciousness drifted back to reality, he had forgotten everything, once again.
Kain opened his eyes and got up from the bed.
Mera had left without him knowing, but from the way the bed sagged, he guessed she had been gone for quite some time.
Or he slept too long.
Even so, Kain wasn't too worried. Since he had already handed over the details of his plan before resting, Kain didn't think anything would go wrong while he was sleeping. Experience exclusive tales on empire
Kain went down below, and things basically went smoothly and seamlessly. There was no need for Kain to run the community himself.
More surprisingly, Kain learned that he had slept all day long.
During this time, six supervisors were in charge of everything from command to distribution of supplies.
A small group of monsters came and were destroyed, the spoils were shared appropriately.
During this period of time, the three bad students were also beaten three times. Each time they were hit in the face, the damage might not be high but it was a good way to vent.
Whatever Kain is setting up is working.
What Kain had predicted happened just as he thought.
At this point, the last bit of worry in Kain's heart dissolved.
Instead, there is confidence.
Confident that he could bring everyone through this ordeal.
Kain was confident, of course, but he was not blind.
So right after the break, Kain summoned the students once again.
"It seems like everyone has adapted already?"
Kain spoke in a harmonious tone, no one objected, at least on the surface, because the benefits were almost equally shared among everyone.
Even if there are people who are not affected by Kain's mentality, when the majority of people benefit from the distribution system, even if they are dissatisfied, they will have to hide it. Because first, their losses are not large, causing them to not have enough motivation to fight back, the second reason is none other than the crowd mentality.
So just keep everything going in the right direction, and the system will only get stronger.
After probing each person's status, Kain presented them with the possible upcoming dangers.
Or rather, what he predicted.
Many people, much power, but also many let down their guard. The more severe the circumstances, the more vigilant people are, that is not wrong. But the more severe the circumstances, the more intensely people let down their guard, that is not wrong either.
So where is the difference that allows two such opposite reactions to occur in the same situation?
That's the crowd.
Must know that these people are all first year students, they were all recruited after going through a harsh survival test. In addition, they were thoroughly trained in magic usage, discipline, physical strength and endurance.
It can be said that they have almost all the conditions for survival.
But if it wasn't for Kain, probably half of the people here wouldn't have made it through the night.
So what is the cause?
External factors have been talked about a lot, and of course they are very important, but this is not all.
Here, Kain wants to talk about the psychological problem, or should I say the inner self of a person.
If all other places check the same. Then the situation will be like this.
He was thrown into a strange Dungeon, without companions by his side and all alone.
At that time, vigilance was of course pushed to the highest level.
However, this time the challenge, although still surviving in a Dungeon, has a difference.
What must be said is that they are no longer separated, but are gathered together, can cooperate and can accompany each other.
This is the main reason why their vigilance is relaxed. Or rather, they think they are vigilant, but this vigilance is actually false.
The fierce attack of the monsters gave all the students a painful slap in the face. But this was still not enough.
With the accumulation of time, consecutive victories and the safety of having many companions around. Their high alertness will gradually be worn down.
And then when real danger strikes, they will make mistakes again because of their carelessness.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
History will repeat itself, again.
Therefore, Kain had to stifle this possibility before it even happened.
So, Kain presented the coming dangers.
It must be said that although this layer of fog possesses some rather unpleasant effects, it also exists as an invisible layer of protection for them, otherwise this place would have been invaded by monsters.
This will give them time to prepare or even flee.
As for the threat, based on the scale and number of monsters he had seen and destroyed, Kain guessed that there were still about a thousand Crawlers lurking in the western living area. It sounded like a lot, but they could still hold out if the monsters attacked in waves.
But that's not counting Nightcrawler.
Kain didn't think there would be less than twenty Nightcrawlers in this area.
Not to mention there are seven other areas, although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it's never too safe to be careful.
After giving a "threatening" speech, Kain handed over a new task, which was to speed up the construction of the escape tunnel.
This place looked sturdy, but Kain couldn't ignore any circumstances.
Actually, Kain's prediction was not unfounded.
He realized something was strange through the traces and frequency of the monsters' appearances.
There was just too little data, so Kain couldn't guess yet.
Unknown to Kain, at the heart of the lonely fortress lies the former residence of the noble high-class Magus.
Something seems to exist here, quiet and sleeping in the darkness.
Around this thing, the Crawlers were swimming back and forth, as if in subjugation, or rather... worship.
What do you think?
