Night falls on the Silver Pine Forest, and unlike its region, the roads of the Silver Pine Forest are filled with bright magic lanterns that glow brightly, driving away the darkness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Locke strolls through the streets of Iva at midnight, watching Iva change in a new way.

For unknown reasons, the mechanical street lamps made by the goblins have been completely replaced by magic lanterns. Whenever someone passes by these magic lanterns, the lanterns catch a certain sound and light up on their own, illuminating the path of pedestrians. As pedestrians move away, the lanterns gradually diminish until they go out.

This is the same as the voice-activated light in the corridor of Locke's previous life, which is very convenient. Locke looked around the lanterns with interest.

"High Lord, this is the work of Mage Olivia and her apprentices."

Perhaps seeing that Locke was interested in the lanterns, Shiloh smiled and explained to Locke.

"Convenient, isn't it? With them, we don't have to put up with the noise of the goblins' mechanical lanterns anymore. ”

"Yes!" Locke nodded, he was glad that magic could also be used for civilians, not as he remembered before, which could only be used for destruction and war.

"I've always believed that magic isn't just for fighting. Its greatest role should be to help people overcome the treacherous living environment. ”

Locke, who took off his judgment suit, was wearing only ordinary civilian clothes. Long sleeves sewn with fine needlework and thread, and a pair of trousers dyed black.

Locke, as in his previous life, put his hands in the pockets sewn on the left and right sides of his trousers. Speaking of which, the people here are not in the habit of opening their pockets on both sides, and this is still at Locke's request.

"How is the baron named Hansen now?"

After a casual conversation, Locke shifted the conversation to Berg Hansen, the guy who introduced himself to himself.

"This is a rare talent, Great Lord." Apparently Shiloh was impressed by him, and she was full of praise for the young baron.

"I have never seen such a diligent aristocrat, and every day when the documents that give me a headache are handed over to him, he can always deal with them before dark, and come up with a solution. Since he came to Ivar, I have tried to hand over some of the civil affairs to him. And he surprised me," Shiloh smiled with a ruddy smile on his face, "Unlike our previous extensive militarized management, he divided Iva into several large areas. Separate agencies were set up in each area, and since then the long queues at my General Management Office have disappeared. ”

"Later, I handed over the security of Iva to him."

Shiloh smiled, and she motioned for Locke to look at the patrol ahead.

Locke turned his head to see that these patrol men were not Eva's garrison soldiers. They wore a shirt representing the Crusaders, which was marked with special markings to indicate something.

"They are all civilians living in this area, except for a few captains who are soldiers living in this area. There are several such patrols in each region, and they patrol along fixed roads every day, and if they find people who are not from their own area, they will focus on the investigation. In case of special circumstances, they all have magic alarms made by mages in their hands. As soon as the siren is sounded, the garrison in this area will rush to the scene as soon as possible. Immediately after that, Major Lubbers' garrison will also arrive. At the same time, at least one mage will teleport from the habitat to check on the situation. ”

"Since then, our public safety in Iva has improved a lot. Those vicious cases have basically not happened. ”

"All of this was brought up by the Berg?"

Locke stopped and asked when he saw the patrol of civilians watching them warily around the corner.

"Yes, it's much more than that, and now I've completely handed over the internal affairs to him. Colonel Hudson was very much in favor, and I was still in charge of the logistics. Shiloh nodded in acknowledgement, "This also includes our diversion of Iva's overpopulation, the creation of a few small towns, and so on. ”

"Hello, sir. Please show us your identification! Or something else that proves who you are. "On the other side of the patrol, two members of the patrol wearing the armor of the Crusader soldiers, saw that Locke and Shiloh were acting suspiciously, so they went up to ask Locke about his situation.

"Proof of identity?!" Locke looked at Shiloh suspiciously, "What's that?" ”

Shiloh didn't rush to answer Locke, she took out a metal card from her body, and Rock vaguely saw that there was a photo on the metal card!

"Hello Inquisitor! How can I help you? After checking Shiloh's identification, the two soldiers were visibly respectful.

"It's nothing, I'm just hanging out with my friends."

Shiloh smiled at the soldier, who handed her the metal card, and then saluted and left, the two soldiers still examining Locke as they left.

"It's the best we can think of to control the population." After the soldiers left, Shiloh explained to Locke the origin of the metal card.

During the time Locke was gone, something big happened in Eva.

The pervasive scum of the Cursed Sect has long since infiltrated Eva. They developed many of the middle and lower ranks of the crusaders into their members. Under the cover of these corrupted crusaders, they quietly developed in Iva, plotting to undermine Iva's peace and stability.

They even developed two baronial nobles who lived here into their members.

Unbeknownst to these outside members of the Cult of the Damned, they had been detected by Noris' Security Service when they infiltrated Eva. The agents of the Security Service, in order to catch the mastermind hidden inside the crusaders, have been holding back. It wasn't until they prepared to sabotage the Thanksgiving Turkey Contest on Thanksgiving Day to create plague chaos that the agents captured the men in one fell swoop.

Now these people are still being held in the newly built prison in Eva, awaiting Locke's opinion.

"This metal card is my identification." Shiloh handed the silver metal card to Locke. "It records the individual's circumstances, his place of residence, his work and position in Iva and his references. This is the best way we can fend off the Cursed Cult's lurking at the moment, and that's what the agents of the Security Service have suggested. ”

Locke looked at the card in his hand and the small photo on the front, and couldn't help but be a little speechless.

This is an ID card!

Maybe it's still a work permit....

But is this thing easy to use in this world, with such a dense flow of people? And this thing, for those who have great power, is just an ornament.

It can only be aimed at ordinary people.

The weight of the card in Locke's hand was heavy, and it seemed to be doped with other metals.

"Who came up with this thing?!" Locke handed the card back to Shiloh and asked with a frown, "Is this thing useful when the population under our rule is so mobile?" ”

"If there are new civilians joining Eva, do they need to get this thing too? If a civilian leaves Eva, won't this ID card be invalidated? ”

This stuff is so unreal! Locke thought to himself, how much is this going to waste? Look at the numbers on Shiloh's number, there are hundreds of thousands!

"At this stage, it is true that Iva will not play a big role, but it will make our Iva much better." Shiloh acknowledges the limitations of the thing, "In the town of Iva anyone who has lived for more than a year, this card is handed out. In the evening, only those who have this identification can come out for activities. Those who do not will be taken to a shelter until dawn to verify the situation. ”

"Does the shelter have to close tens of thousands of people every night?" Locke shook his head and asked Shiloh with a wry smile.

"Yes at first," Shiloh nodded in acknowledgement, "but it's good that everyone gets used to it, these measures are meant to protect them." ”

"Who made this unreliable suggestion?!" Locke hammered his head, if this was the best way to control the flow of people in the previous life when computers were popular, and what use is it now?!

"Great Lord, this—" Shiloh looked at Locke with a smile and a puzzled look.

"You told us about this..."

"I ?!!" Locke wondered, when did I say this?

"You forgot? Before you left, you told us how to control the population, and this is one of the ways. Shiloh carefully reminded this Locke.

Oh, I think I did mention it. Locke vaguely remembered that he seemed to have told them about the benefits of controlling the population in this way.

"Well, it's the right thing to do, and it's not the right thing to do. We'll talk about that tomorrow when we meet. Locke didn't press the table first, and the people below were also trying to better realize their intentions, and they couldn't blow their confidence away.

However, it is indeed good to be able to do this.

At this point, Locke also lost the idea of hanging out. Returning to Crusader Square with Shiloh, Locke stopped in front of the large newly built house numbered 001.

"Great Lord, I live in No. 003," Shiloh said with a smile as he pointed to the house not far away, "You can come to me in any situation." ”

Locke's face twitched, and he said goodbye to Shiloh. This eldest sister pastor has a very unruly personality now, after all, but Locke will not be unable to control himself.

Sleeping with your own subordinates is not your own business. Of course, let's not talk about the past, who hasn't had a time when they were confused?

I went back to the newly built house and walked around. Then he unexpectedly found that in the bedroom, Bridget was sleeping with the quilt in her arms....
