Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ascetic Magic Survives the Cold and Summer, and the Spring is Boundless
Justin didn't know that his identity had been suspected, and at this moment he was looking for a place to practice on the high cliff by the sea. If you can find a cave facing the sea and enjoy the romance of spring flowers, cultivation is actually not bitter. Justin, who was good at comforting himself, thought so.
Fortunately, he also cultivates his fighting spirit, and his physical fitness is good enough, otherwise he really can't support it! Climbing on the cliff, although Justin feels hard, he is also very relaxed. Because at this moment, he has completely forgotten his identity as a lord, and is just a magician looking for a place to cultivate.
Feeling the hardness of the rocks under his hands, and the softness of the soil, Justin felt that he had come out right, only nature is the treasure of the magician's cultivation, so that he can get closer to the mysteries of nature and comprehend the true meaning of magic.
It wasn't until late in the evening that Justin finally found a suitable cave that once seemed to be a monkey's dwelling. After cleaning up, Justin regretted that he didn't let people get it done in advance, but on second thought, it would be a lot less fun.
At this time, Justin, like a naughty and playful child, took a piece of cloth and covered his face, and then used the wind spell - strong wind spell to blow out the lighter garbage. Then he used the subsidence technique to make a slide to slide the heavier garbage to the bottom of the cliff, and he naturally didn't think about whether it would hit flowers, plants, animals and people.
In this way, the entire cave house was transformed by a series of spells, and it never regained its original appearance. Justin saw the neat and tidy cave mansion, so he stopped. It's a pity that petrification can't be used on a large scale yet, otherwise, all the ground will be petrified, so that as soon as the water system spell is washed, it will be cleaner.
However, it is good enough to be able to do this. Justin comforted himself. Stepping on the breeze down the cliff, Justin went to the sea to catch a few fish and grill them. After eating a full stomach, he began to study magic.
Spring goes to autumn, summer goes to winter, winter goes to spring and comes again. Justin has been living near the bay for almost ten months. During these ten months, Justin spent almost nothing but occasionally returning to the castle to attend to some political affairs, except for building the magic of the composite elements here.
Not only that, Justin also studied magic tactics and techniques, such as the Ground Trap Technique with Flame Trap Technique, which became the Flame Trap Technique, and the Water Archery Technique has been transformed into Ice Knife Technique, Ice Archery Technique, and Ice Needle Technique. Although Justin's rank has not changed, the increase in mental power has steadily surpassed that of ordinary archmages.
In the past ten months, a lot of things have happened in the Thorn Territory, and the most shocking thing is the debut of the supervision department, which has silenced the government officials of various departments in the territory and greatly increased the deterrent effect.
Although Justin delegated power to various departments, they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, but were aroused and wanted to do something with all their energy, even if Jia Ling was the same.
Jia Ling was the Minister of Supervision for the first time, and after three months of team building and division of responsibilities, the construction of office space and the preparation of team members have also taken shape. She energetically ran around various villages and towns, made private visits to micro-services, observed the people's livelihood and people's livelihood, collected a lot of first-hand people's livelihood and people's feelings, and compiled them into a book for Justin to review.
This has to mention the post station + post station model set by Justin at the beginning. Justin tried to keep his message down by sending letters through the postal station, but to little avail.
After all, this is an era of power and identity. Although Justin has always advocated the equality of all races and advocated the elimination of the existence of slaves, even though many of the existing authorities have been promoted from slaves, there is no tolerance towards slaves, and slaves do not consider it a big deal for themselves to be humiliated and punished, even if they are killed, they take it for granted. As a result, almost no slaves reported their feelings through the post office.
All this has forced the personnel of the supervision department to go to the front line and collect all kinds of information materials on their own.
In the past two months, Jia Ling and her assistants have found out a lot of problems, and nearly a dozen reports have been written, the most serious of which actually involves the original slaves in the castle.
There was a shortage of government officials in the towns, and Justin sent eight of the more clever slaves in the castle to serve in the town. Later, Justin erased their slavery.
When the town gradually got on the right track, in the face of all kinds of slaves who were taken by life and death, these people began to be restless, some of them had inflated their desires, forced female slaves to sleep, and even robbed their wives; some were greedy, and gradually tentatively embezzled and greedy for ink, and made a lot of money; some of them used vicious methods, under the name of the original castle attendants, bullying men and women, oppressing the townspeople, so that the people in the town dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. This is also because most of the townspeople are slaves, and they are also accustomed to the misdeeds of their masters.
When Jia Ling handed over the collected information to Justin, Justin saw that three of them had been specially marked as former castle attendants, and Jia San, who was most impressed, was among them.
Jia San, a diligent and clever attendant in the castle, is indeed lawless and reckless when he arrives in the town. In order to avoid the exposure of the matter, he used the embezzled money to buy three more slaves through the underground black market to enrich the population.
Thinking of the love of several people serving him in the castle for many years, Justin was reluctant to delve into it, but was dissuaded by Jia Ling.
Jia Ling said: "The laws and regulations are strict, and the lords often warn us. If you favor this person today and that person tomorrow, in the end, the so-called strict laws and regulations will be useless, and what can the lord rely on to govern the territory in the future?"
After listening to Jia Ling's analysis, Justin sweated profusely, and understood that he was soft-hearted for a while, and it was very likely that the development of the Thorn Collar would cause a catastrophe, and finally he was ruthless enough to sign a decree and behead several people.
What touched Justin the most was that Jia Ling took the initiative to publish the conversation between the two, which made the original castle attendants afraid of her, but even more grateful for Justin's affection for them.
Justin also gathered all the expatriate attendants, and now there were only five people left, to gather together and drink together. Justin said: "Although I did relent, as Jia Ling said, I signed the final beheading decree. Affection represents the past, while justice and integrity represent the present and the future. I don't want you to follow the path of Jia San and them. If you embark on this road of no return, don't complain about my shallowness. ”
The five former attendants were all sweating profusely and fearful. After returning to the territory, he also changed his arrogance and indulgence, which can be regarded as maintaining the old feelings of the past.
When Jia San and others were beheaded, these people who watched the excitement found that the supervision department was serious, not fancy, and they were all honest, and they didn't dare to make mistakes easily, and the political style of the territory was also swept away from the arrogance of the early stage.
It is also worth mentioning the establishment of the Fragrance Pavilion. The establishment of the Fragrance Pavilion was strongly supported by the Thorn Collar in terms of funds, and it was also composed of female slaves purchased by Justin in terms of personnel, but the fox clan seemed to have identified the Thorn Collar and sent a large number of fox people to the Thorn Collar, and flooded the preparation of the Fragrance Pavilion.
Qing Jiuling reported these things to Justin, and Justin also attended the dinner party to welcome the arrival of the fox clan personnel according to Qing Jiuling's request.
These fox clan members are still keeping their duties and are not too arrogant. Later, according to Qing Jiuling's request, several of the fox men and fox women were appointed to the Foreign Affairs Department, specifically responsible for docking with the beast clan.
Other fox people, such as fox girls, are filled with incense pavilions in various places, and fox men are placed near the bay that Qing Jiuling took the initiative to ask for, and the bay is named Xianhu Bay by Qing Jiuling.
Qing Jiuling saw that Justin was obedient to her, which made her very happy, and took the initiative to kiss, looking like she was letting Justin pick up.
Justin took pity on Qing Jiuling and didn't want to do anything to destroy flowers, but he also enjoyed Qing Jiuling's tenderness.
Since Qing Suling took over the Fragrance Pavilion, in terms of intelligence, a fox girl in charge of intelligence collection was selected from the fox clan to train various interrogation skills; in terms of personnel selection, with the help of the underground black market channels, nearly 100 women of all colors were selected to carry out the charm training of the fox clan.
In fact, when it comes to gathering intelligence, every woman of the fox clan has similar training. It is with the help of marriage and other means to collect all kinds of information that has an impact on the fox clan, and at the same time, through various charming means to influence the people around them to change their views and positions on the fox clan, so that the situation of the fox clan will not deteriorate, otherwise the fox clan would have been swallowed by other beast clans without leaving any dregs.
Justin was curious, and took time out to observe the training on the spot, wanting to satisfy Xiao Chu's curiosity and desire to snoop. He followed Qing Suling to a large manor covering an area of nearly 100 acres, and the pavilions in it were very different from the original architectural style of the Thorn Collar.
Qing Suling enthusiastically held Justin's arm, and her towering chest rubbed against Justin's arm from time to time, making Justin feel uneasy and emotional. If it weren't for the sweet and soft words in his ears from time to time, Justin almost suspected that he was sleepwalking.
Listening to Qing Suling's introduction to the use of various pavilions, Justin followed Qing Suling to the first pavilion - Hatsune Pavilion, the woman in the pavilion was dressed in light veil, as thin as cicada wings, and the snow-white skin inside could almost be seen directly.
Qing Suling said: "The training teacher has the reputation of Miaoyin Tianhu in our fox clan, you see that these women's blowing, playing and singing movements are designed according to the best characteristics of their bodies, full of beauty and temptation. ”
Justin watched these young women play musical instruments in different postures, some women hold the horizontal flute, but leaning on the spring stool, showing the grace of the delicate waist and body, and some women kneel and play the piano, but their breasts are gently swaying with the movements of their hands, so that people can listen to the wonderful sound and appreciate the beautiful girl. There are many other graceful and seductive gestures.
Qing Suling breathed lightly in Justin's ear and said, "If the lord has a heart, you can try, these girls don't just have these skills!" After speaking, Qing Suling's reclining body was loaded with weight on Justin's body, and the beauty on his chest almost clamped Justin's arm, and the soft touch made Justin's heart flutter.
