Chapter 233: The Maid and the Party
Miracle Canyon, Demon King City.
In the bedroom, Felix suddenly opened her eyes. Miracle Canyon is like spring all year round, and the breeze blowing in from the window caresses the fluff on her ears, making Felix feel lazy......
"No! Gotta get up! Felix slapped her face hard and got out of bed.
Felix's bedroom is very modest, without any extra furniture, and from the window of the room you can see the deserted and orderly street outside.
Felix put on a maid outfit, tidied up her appearance in the mirror, and held her breasts up, trying to show her femininity.
"Hmm~ perfect!" Felix was very satisfied with her image.
Felix put away her cosmetics, put on the necklace that had been constant, picked up the notebook on the desk, and left the room.
Walking down the hallway, Felix made her way to the dining room.
There was no one in the spacious restaurant, just some Mona who was in charge of the food.
"Hasn't the master gotten up yet?" Felix asked a Mona.
Mona: "Mona Mona......"
Because she wears a necklace that is constant with her skillful words, Felix is able to communicate with Mona.
“…… That's right...... I know. Then bring me a breakfast. ”
Mona: "Mona~"
The Monas prepared their food.
Philex didn't sit in the dining room, but followed her to the kitchen, where she watched Mona at work. The variety of food in Demon King City is quite large: mushrooms, fish, eggs, and some unknown vegetables.
After a bit of tinkering, the Monas cooked the food and served it to the table. The variety of ingredients is fine, but the resulting food doesn't taste great - apparently these rabbit-looking creatures don't seem to be very good at cooking, or their tastes are very different from those of humans.
In the restaurant, Felix saves the food and thinks about what she can do.
Felix is well aware of who she is. If you want to gain status here, you have to show your master what you are useful and capable of. If Belladonna's purpose is to supervise, and Asine's purpose is to lead troops into battle, then his own use is to assist in internal affairs......
"This castle needs a butler...... Or the head maid. Felix looked around at the Monas, who were doing nothing.
Two days after arriving at the Demon King's Domain, Felix found that the rabbits were very lazy and would be lazy and not work as long as they didn't have a task. There was no desire in them, and Felix suspected that they might be idle all day without orders.
The absence of desire is a good thing, because the absence of desire means that they will not rebel; But at the same time, it's also a bad thing, because no desire means no motivation and no innovation. From the dishes that come and go, there are only a few dishes, and it is not difficult to see how salted fish these demons usually are.
Shortly after Felix finished eating, Beladonna arrived at the restaurant with Green's doppelganger in her arms.
Felix glanced at the black rabbit in Beladonna's arms, looked up at Beladona and said, "Miss Nana, I'll go out and have a look." ”
"Uh-huh......" Beladona mumbled and didn't look up.
Felix saluted Beladona and left the restaurant.
The Demon King's Castle is the residence of the Demon King, and it is also the administrative center of the Demon Clan, but it is not really very important here. Some important research institutes, mines, workshops, and other facilities are located elsewhere - in Green's words, this royal city is a bait that can be abandoned at any time if war breaks out!
Felix rode the Wyvern and left the floating island where the Demon King City was located, and began to patrol around, observe, and study the terrain and the situation in the territory.
This is a very dangerous territory, the dense jungle can be seen from time to time dangerous magic plants and swarms of monsters, except for a few farms and roads, the rest of the place is hidden countless dangerous forests, but at the same time, the forest also hides countless riches - Felix even found some adult mandrakes in the forest! In orc lore, this running mandrake is the main ingredient for the elixir. It's a dangerous and fertile forest......
In the evening, when Phylix returns to the Demon King City for dinner, she finally meets Grimm.
"Yo~ Felix, how's the report going? Do you have any ideas for my territory? Green asked with a smile.
Felix took out the notebook from the small bag she was carrying: "Yes, master. The richness of the territory is amazing, but I find that you have a very low level of exploitation of the territory. ”
"Yes, because there is a shortage of people in the territory." The black rabbit nodded, his long ears twitching twice, "Of course, what is lacking is not the manpower as a labor force, but the lack of management talents with enough wisdom and the generals who can lead a party." It was because I found out that I went to the south to see if I could find the right talent. ”
"I looked into it and found that a lot of the output in the territory was already in serious surplus. For example, the output of wood, stone, ore, food, etc., and even paper has far exceeded the consumption needs of the territory, and a large amount of resources have not been used, and all of them are hoarded in warehouses. Therefore, I think we should build a port and caravanserais, and trade the surplus resources for the resources needed for the territory. Trade can not only obtain materials, but also strengthen exchanges with other forces, which is conducive to the introduction of talents from other forces. ”
"Well...... "Greene thought for a moment, "to be specific. ”
Felix spread the map on the table and pointed to a location, "Here." We can build a port here and trade with the orcs across the sea. The land of the orcs is very barren, and there is a serious shortage of food and ore, so we can export food and ore, buy weapons, equipment, and a large number of orc slaves! ”
"Slaves?" Green frowned slightly, "I don't need the kind of ordinary slave who can only do manual work. And it's unlikely that someone as capable as you and Asin will become a slave in the orc tribe, right? ”
A sad expression appeared on Felix's face: "A strong warrior like Asine is indeed very popular among the orc tribes, but weak races like the fox clan and the cat clan are not so easy to live on. ”
"Hmm...... Can you be specific? I don't know much about the situation on the orc's side. ”
"The wasteland is sparsely populated, food is scarce, and there is the threat of monster nests, and most tribes are struggling to survive, so the conflicts between the tribes never stop. Races such as the Eagle Clan, the Lion Clan, the Tiger Clan, and the Beamon Clan, which are known for their strength, have absolute dominance in the orc tribal alliance, but weak races such as the Rabbit Clan, the Cat Clan, and the Fox Clan can only be attached to those powerful races, and their status is no different from that of slaves. So as long as we can afford it, we can easily get the refuge of those weak races. ”
"Hmm...... Indeed, I am not short of force, but I lack a mid-level commander who is strong enough to command an army of monsters. Green thought for a moment, "But how can the loyalty of those who take refuge be assured?" I don't want a backyard fire to suddenly break out while I'm fighting the kingdom. ”
"Humans discriminate against orcs, and orcs and humans are feuds, so orcs will never betray you for the sake of humans."
"What about the church? I remember that many orcs believed in Mother Earth, right? If you fight against the Kingdom of Palomia in the future, how can you guarantee that they will not betray? Also, if you fight with the Orc Tribal Alliance in the future, how can the loyalty of those orcs be guaranteed? ”
"Hmm......" Felix was silent, frowning in confusion.
Green looked at Felix without speaking, and his mind was thinking about what Felix had just said.
Felix thought for a moment, "Hmm...... Master, can you take the liberty of asking which god you believe in? ”
Green was silent for a while: "What about you?" Do you believe in that deity? ”
Felix thought for a moment and said cautiously, "I used to believe in the god of fire, but if it was your request, I would be willing to change my faith. ”
"Hmm......" Green thought as he looked down.
Religion is a very troublesome thing. If organization and force control the human body, then religion controls the human spirit, so for a ruler, religious thought is an unavoidable thing.
On earth, in ancient times, spiritual control was achieved through the deification of rulers - the kings of Europe needed the coronation of the church, and the Eastern kingdoms were directly deified "sons of heaven" and "emperors". After the Reformation, the ideas of the Enlightenment began to emerge, and then new ideas began to replace the previous theocracy – fascism, communism, democracy.
This is not the earth, the gods really exist here, so the influence of religion is stronger than that of the earth! It doesn't matter when there are few people, but when the organization is large, all kinds of ideas will start to proliferate, and this is when a "mainstream thought" is needed to twist everyone into a rope.
Green did not want to be subject to the Church, so he had to choose another means to ensure ideological unity in the country.
"There it is!" Green suddenly laughed, "Everyone who joins, you have to believe in me!" ”
Hearing Green's words, a trace of horror flashed in Felix's eyes: "Lord, master, you want to establish an evil god faith?" ”
"No, no, no, it's not a cult god, it's a fascist dictatorship...... Well, it feels a little wrong. Green thought for a moment and suddenly stood up, "I understand! I'm going to build a harem! I'm going to build an army of maids! All maids can only be loyal to me and not to the gods! ”
Felix looked at Green blankly: "Harem? Maid Legion? ”
"That's right! That's it! The Maid Legion is the party, and then the country is governed by the fascist Maid Party! I'm so witty! Green looked down and pondered the feasibility of this matter.
Fascist dictatorships are generally achieved through nationalism and nationalism, which are obviously not suitable for ruling orcs, and religious ideas will be regarded as evil gods and jointly attacked by the church. But if you replace religious thought with "maid thought...... You can successfully bypass religion!
While Green was thinking, Felix was also thinking seriously. A legion of maids who are loyal only to their master sounds not much different from knights who are loyal to the king, and it doesn't seem unacceptable. And I was originally the master's maid, and using a maid to govern the country means that my status is guaranteed?
"Master, I think this is a good solution!" Felix looked at Green with glowing eyes.
