Start from Fulilian

"Of course, I also asked everyone to keep this matter secret. After all... Madam, you wouldn't want yourself or your child to be branded as colluding with the demons, right?"

Fulilian (Thousand Years of Past): Chapter 32: Treating Guests to Behead and Accepting as a Dog

So, after taking away the inheritance left to Lady Tulip by her husband, Ivan also took away the knights who accompanied her to marry him.

Ivan also wrote a letter to the Earl of the neighboring Flower City, asking him to send someone to pick up Mrs. Tulip and protect her safety along the way.

In this way, even if something unexpected happens on the way back, it cannot be blamed on Ivan. This is indeed a flexible application of the model of asking parents to pick up their children after school.

Modern people are professional at shifting responsibility.

"What should we do next?" Fulilian asked from the side.

Since the morning, she has been in a state of having something to do. For an elf who is used to being lazy and slacking off, this is already a high-intensity working state.

And everything he did was something that Fulilian had never seen before. Looking at Ivan who was keen on making trouble, she sincerely felt that her senior brother was really energetic.

"Next, of course, we'll go wander around the city, as if to do some field research."

Ivan replied, "After all, a great man once said that those who seek great things must not be divorced from the people. Everything must be based on reality, and this is especially true when formulating future development plans."

"That's it."

Fulilian nodded, feeling puzzled. "Then it's okay if I don't follow, right? I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."

"I heard from Minister Meng Li that there's a specialty restaurant in Suiye City where all kinds of meat are very popular."

"I think I can hold on for a while longer." Fulilian instantly perked up.

On the other side, in the ancient elf tree.

Celie received Volame's letter, frowned slightly after reading it, and used magic to cut it into countless pieces.

"Mother, are you angry?" A petite long-haired loli next to her asked. It was Zanze who had reshaped his body.

After Ivan left, Celie accelerated the flow of time in the ancient elven tree. While healing the injuries, she also created a body for her daughter. Because of her elven blood, her lifespan does not have to be a concern at all. She can also grow up quickly under the accelerated time and has the ability to protect herself.

"I'm not angry. How could I get angry over such a small thing?"

Celie held Zanze, who was as delicate and small as a porcelain doll, in her arms and took a deep breath.

"It turns out that children are cuter when they are small. Volame was as well-behaved as you when she was little... It's a pity that she has grown up now and has learned to compete with teachers for men. She is not cute at all."

"He's really angry."

Zanze rolled her eyes. She felt that when it came to tough talk, there were probably few people in the world who could compete with her mother.

"Speaking of which, the traditional method of sending letters by carrier pigeon is rather inconvenient, and Ivan doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in writing letters... I've recently developed a beta version of the teleportation array, and it's time to put it to use."

Celie patted the little head of Zanze in her arms. "Would you like to help run some errands? Go set up the teleportation array to your father's Suiye City and the capital of Volame?"

"Of course I am happy to do so."

"Very good. If you are in danger, just crush this amulet and I will rush to save you in an instant."

Now Zanze is almost as powerful as a second-level magician. She can escape unscathed even when facing a powerful demon. Celie feels that it is time for her to go out and explore on her own.

Ivan lived a fulfilling life every day, especially in investigating the basic situation of Suiye City and the people's livelihood and public opinion.

Not only the main city, he also went to investigate the surrounding towns and villages one by one.

Generally speaking, the situation in Suiye City was relatively good. Even in winter, the number of people who starved to death or froze to death did not exceed one hundred. This was because the king had issued a special order several months ago, drawing a red line for the lords in various places. Those who met the standards would be promoted in title, and those who failed would be demoted. This made the noble lords willing to squeeze out a little rice from between their fingers to help the people under their rule.

Agriculture in Suiye City can only be considered as a means of making a living. Heavy industry is still in the PPT stage. Handicrafts are scarce and can only be used for daily life throughout the city. The only economic lifeline is minerals, including iron, coal and copper mines. Seven or eight out of every ten families in Suiye City are mining.

After understanding the basic situation, a major reshuffle began. Ivan's initial investigation, which was just observation but no action, made everyone lower their guard, but they didn't know that it was all designed to confuse local forces.

The first thing to take control of is the violent group.

By comforting the city defense forces, promoting talented ones to be small commanders, and placing villagers from the Sword Village in them, Ivan soon had complete control of this power in his own hands.

Then it was time to train the soldiers, sending them out to fight bandits, wild beasts that destroyed crops, and man-eating monsters. Bloody battles are always the best way for an army to transform, and soon the laziness in them was worn away, and they gradually began to look like elite troops.

The heads of bandits and wild beasts were pickled with lime and hung on the city walls, which was a way to show off their achievements, demonstrate to certain people, and issue various bans.

The gangs in the city have been much more obedient recently and have hardly caused any trouble.

But gang members are always gang members, and it is impossible for them to give up their nature for this reason. After all, even if they want to whitewash themselves, it is not an easy thing. If they give up the black and gray industries, what will so many of their brothers eat?

Soon, some gangs could no longer hold back, and under the instigation of a certain noble, they formed an anti-Iven alliance. Of course, this title could not be used in name, but the term "stumbling block" was used instead.

The other part was much more cautious. They chose to lie dormant and even secretly report the situation of the Anti-Iven Alliance to Iven.

There are three big gangs in Suiye City: the Butcher Gang, the Mastiff Gang, and the Falcon Gang, and the rest are minor characters.

Among them, the Butcher Gang defected, the Falcon Gang was hiding and there was no news, and only the Mastiff Gang stood on the side of the unfavored Ivan.

"Oh no! Lord, one of our ordinary guards had his left hand chopped off by the Butcher Gang while handling a gang conflict! They also resisted arrest and refused to pay compensation—"

"Since this group of people don't want to reconcile, there's nothing we can do." Ivan looked at the map of Suiye City he had drawn himself. It was very accurate because he had measured the entire Suiye City with his own feet.

"Inform the leaders of the Butcher, Falcon, and Bulldog gangs that there will be a full-beef banquet tonight. I hope they can come to my castle to discuss the future development of their gangs."

At night, as expected, the leader of the Butcher Gang did not arrive, and the leaders of the other two gangs came to Ivan's castle.

While eating, they discussed important matters.

Ivan said bluntly, "Recently, some gang members have been disturbing public order and even injuring the city defense forces. What do you think?"

Yu-Gi-Oh! I Have Too Many Wives

Fulilian (Thousand Years of Past): Chapter 33: Magic, Isn't It Amazing?

"How dare you make Lord Ivan so troubled—"

Douglas, the leader of the Bulldog Gang, had a fierce look on his face. "The Butcher Gang is so rude! We must teach them a lesson!"

There is actually a reason for his licking dog attitude.

As early as when Ivan led his troops to suppress the bandits for the first time, Douglas followed him quietly with a few people. He originally thought that this new lord was just a lucky newbie, but he didn't expect that his ruthlessness was beyond his imagination.

Generally speaking, death is the greatest thing. Even if a person was a bandit who committed many serious crimes during his lifetime, he would generally be buried on the spot in a humane manner after death.

But Ivan is different, he doesn't even let the dead go!!

Maybe it’s because of the different local customs. As the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, Ivan just feels that it is such a waste to bury these evil guys like this.

In addition to cutting off their heads, pickling them with lime and hanging them on the city walls, they also considerately used necromancy to detain their souls at the moment of killing them, turning them into zombies and forcing them to mine in the most dangerous areas.

They are tireless, fearless of risks and will not protest. Most importantly, they do not need to be paid. The corpses of big demons are used to make magic batteries to supply the demons. A battery the size of a small fingernail can supply the demons for a year. It can only be said that they are perfect mining tool corpses.

After Ivan left, Douglas also went to observe the group of mining zombies. Although they had no heads, they could still move normally, but their movements were slow. Although they had no vocal organs, Doug and his brothers could vaguely hear bursts of wailing.

What was even more terrifying was that when Doug was leaving, he was patted on the shoulder while walking at the end of the group.

"The human soul is quite magical, isn't it? Even though it's dead, it can still rely on magic to continue to control the body."

At some point, Ivan, who was supposed to have left, suddenly appeared behind him, scaring Douglas so much that his heart almost jumped out.

"Lord Ivan! I... I actually..."

"Hey, don't be so nervous." Ivan patted the other man's thick shoulders again. "I am a person who always adheres to the law and principles. You haven't done anything wrong right now, so there's no need to be afraid of me."

"Ah...yes, yes..."

Douglas nodded repeatedly, but because of fear, his speech function was not smooth.

"I'm just a newcomer to Suiye City. I don't have as much knowledge as you local tyrants, so I need a capable helper. Do you understand?"

At this point, Douglas understood that he had to become a submissive dog to the new lord.

"I will definitely not let you down, Master Ivan!"

"Look at you, why are you still so nervous? What if your ugly face scares the children? Hurry up and smile for me."

"Yes……"

Douglas quickly recalled the happiest things in his life, and soon a smile broke out on his face, as if he were recalling a revolving lantern.

Because the smile was not forced by muscles, it looked particularly natural. The fact that he could do this under such a threatening situation made Ivan's evaluation of him rise to a higher level, and he was considered a talented person.

Time returns to the present.

After the Bulldog Gang eagerly declared their loyalty, Falcon Gang leader Hake immediately stated his stance, "We are willing to follow Lord Ivan's orders!"

He had heard Douglas talk about what happened during the bandit suppression. Regardless of whether there was any artistic exaggeration or not, the row of heads on the city wall could not be faked. They were definitely not people as weak as the previous lord.

The Butcher Gang members did not realize the change in the situation and continued to act arrogantly. They were destined to be dealt with.

From Ivan's perspective, the gang's hidden dangers must be eliminated. If these troublemakers disrupt his development, it will not only be disgusting but will also greatly delay the overall progress.

That's why he had to gather a group of people, kill a group of people, and then gradually reform them.

"Very good, I can truly feel your loyalty." Ivan took out a bunch of headscarves from his space ring, which glowed fluorescently in the dim light.

"Let the people in your gang wear them later to distinguish between friend and foe. I'll teach you how to tie them."

Ah, this...does it need to be so formal?

As if sensing Huck's confusion, Ivan explained, "Don't always think of yourself as a gang leader. You must always look forward and have dreams. Tying this headscarf will be the first step on the right path for you."

That night, a fierce gunfight broke out at the Butcher Gang’s headquarters. Not only members of the Falcon Gang and the Mastiff Gang, but even the city defense forces joined in.

The sound of metal clashing with weapons, the curses, the wails, the explosions of blazing flames... it didn't subside until dawn.

Later, when the main historical text was being compiled, according to the recollections of some residents who had witnessed some of the process, countless fluorescent lights gathered in the darkness that night, vast and mighty, like fire from the sky.

At this point, gang organizations began to transform, and the various robberies, thefts, fighting and murders that had occurred previously gradually decreased, and the overall crime rate continued to decline.

Another snowflake began to fall.

On the first day, there was not much snow, and the snow accumulated on the ground was only as thick as the back of a hand. Some burnt black and rotten wheat stubble could still pierce through the thin snow.

The next day, the snow was ankle-deep.

On the third day, the snow was above our knees.

The weather, which had been warming up somewhat, began to cool down at an exceptionally rapid rate, even heading towards the lowest temperature record.

Fulilian, who is afraid of the cold, has become completely dependent on the fireplace. She even sleeps wrapped in a quilt and leaning against the fireplace.

"Flillian, you're blocking the way by sleeping here. Go back to your room and sleep."

"No."

Fulilian decisively refused.

She said the bed was as cold as a stone and if she was forced to sleep on it she would sue Volame for abusing Ivan.

"Abuse?"

Ivan was speechless. He walked silently to the bed and grabbed a piece of snow. "Flillian, I see you have no idea what abuse is."
