"Lord Iluya is gracious," I smiled, "Violet City is truly a fairyland, and it is fascinating. ”

We enjoyed the scenery along the way and walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

After entering the city lord's mansion, he arrived at the council hall, prepared tea, and sat opposite each other.

I said, "The purpose of my visit must have been known to the City Lord of Iruya. ”

"Yes, Elder," Iruya ordered a document to be fetched, handed it to me, and said, "These are the lists of traitors. ”

After taking the document and flipping through it slightly, I couldn't help but say, "There are really a lot of rebels." ”

"Yes," said the city lord of Iruya, "Moreover, these are only what we know so far, and there are still things that have not yet been discovered. ”

"Suddenly so many people rebelled together, it must have been premeditated," I pondered: "It seems that it has little to do with the rule of the Elf Empress, could it be that the Elven Empress did things unfairly, causing them to be dissatisfied, so they rebelled?" ”

"The Elven Empress has always loved her people like a son, and there has never been any injustice."

The city lord of Iruya spoke with great seriousness, and he bit every word very hard, as if he wanted to tell me with a firm attitude that the reason for the rebellion had nothing to do with the empress.

"It's not the Fairy Empress's fault, and it's not the Elven Empress's cauldron, then there is only one possibility" I said slowly: "The nobles of Ivy City want to get rid of the Elven Empress's rule and become independent emperors. ”

The city lord of Iluya was silent for a few seconds, and said, "The subordinates don't know, so they don't dare to answer. ”

"It's okay" waved my hand, and I said, "The two cities are next to each other, Iluya City Lord, what do you think of the Ivy City City Lord?" ”

"He's a loyal gentleman, not like someone who would act rebellious," said Lord Irua.

"You still have a good opinion of him."

"The subordinate just said his own feelings, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and I can't completely see through the essence of a person."

She replied cautiously, as if she was afraid that she would make a mistake and cause trouble.

"I know, I'll decide this matter myself," I asked, taking a sip of tea, "What kind of situation is Ivy City in right now?" ”

"At least half of the territory of Ivy City is controlled by the rebels, and the Ivy City Lord is now trapped in the City Lord's Mansion, unable to leave the city, and can only communicate with the outside world through the call crystal of the adventurer's base."

"Hasn't the Adventurer's base been captured yet?" I asked.

"The elder laughed, how could the adventurer's base be occupied."

Facing the smile of the city lord of Iluya, I frowned slightly, puzzled: "Why can't the adventurer base be occupied, there are many tools that can communicate with the outside world, and occupying it is to cut off the communication between Ivy City and the outside world." ”

"Elder, Iluya City Lord said, "The adventurer's base has always been regarded by many adventurers as a sacred existence, a bridge of communication with the god of creation, and anyone or organization who dares to get involved in the adventurer's base is bound to be punished." ”

Looking at her serious expression when she spoke, I couldn't help but be disbelieved.

If the facts were the same as what the Lord of Ilua had said, it would have been a lot less trouble—I had suspected that the previous call was a traitor's false message.

"According to the laws of Moonlight City, what is the crime of treason?" I asked.

"Death penalty should be meted," said Iruya, the lord of the city.

"Capital punishment...... I looked up at her and said, "That is, execution, huh?" ”

"Yes," said Lord Iruya, "all planners and participants, regardless of their status, will be put to death." ”

"Then if all the noble residents of Ivy City are involved in the rebellion, shouldn't the city be slaughtered?"

"This ......" Iluya's city lord turned pale, a little, and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

"What the hell is this bullshit law!"

"Huh?"

The city lord of Iruya was startled by my cold words, and she raised her head and stared at me with a blank expression.

"Some people are indeed hateful, and they have the idea of rebellion in their bones, and there are also some people who have been bewitched and deceived into joining the ranks of rebellion, and there are also some people who can't help themselves and have to join the rebel team" I said righteously and continued: "Those who have rebellious thoughts in their bones, they will be killed if they are killed, and those who have been bewitched are killed, relatively speaking, it is a little wronged, but it can also be attributed to their loyalty to the Elven Empress is not firm enough, but those who join involuntarily will be killed once they are killed, Doesn't it seem very aggrieved? ”

"What do you mean by Elder......"

"The rebel will die, and others can reduce their responsibility as appropriate, and those who rebel against the idea in their bones will be heavily responsible, and those who have been bewitched into joining will be lightly blamed, and those who can't join involuntarily will be exempted from responsibility, and those who have helped me clear out the rebellion will be rewarded!"

Putting down the teacup, I said, "Now you will immediately send your hands to print out the words I have just said on the writing paper, and print as many as you can, and introduce them into the city with headless arrows, and I will let the whole city see my decision, and the law I have amended!" ”

"Yes, the subordinates obey."

When the lord of Iruya left, his face was smeared with a smile that had not yet melted.

"Attack the heart, Xiao Yi, you are ruthless and beautiful," Boss Ren praised.

"I just don't know if it works or not" Sighing slightly, I said: "Most of the elves are straight, and it is difficult to change the truth that they recognize, unless someone is willing to make a bird." ”

"Shall I summon one of my men to pretend to be a bird?" Boss Wren asked.

"No," I said, shaking my head, "It's too risky, and it's not worth it." ”

"What if no one wants to be the first bird?"

"Then we will have to press the border with heavy troops, so that they can feel the oppression from their compatriots, and I suspect that by then, there will be a few early birds who will defect from the rebels."

"What if not?"

"Then there will be a wanton massacre" Squinting my eyes, I said slowly: "If you can't solve the problem by reasoning, use a butcher's knife to let them recognize the reality." ”

"Aren't you afraid that someone will accuse you, a foreign elder, of being too cruel to the elves?"

"If I'm afraid, I won't be this foreign elder" sneered, and I continued: "In the previous child abduction case, the Moonlight City Daily rated me as a foreign elder 'quite high', a ruthless murderer, a butcher who is not soft on his compatriots, etc., at that time, my title, but there have been several waves, and this matter has not been long until now, presumably, my murderous name, in the ears of the guys in Ivy City, should also have some deterrence." ”

...... Hopefully, there will still be deterrence.

I also don't want that ivy-strewn green town to be stained with red marks forever.

I don't want the Elven Empress to return to receive the tragic news that a branch city has been slaughtered.
