Are you trolling me?
That was the question that popped into Hikaru's mind right now.
You think I don't know much about this world, so you can say whatever you like.
Hikaru coughed once then said, "Stop joking, we're talking seriously."
Mika pouted and said, "Master… just a kiss… can't you?"
Hikaru sighed: "Haizz, why do you want it? You should remember that if everyone knew about this, no guy would want to fall in love with you."
"Master… Do you think I need another man besides you?"
Hikaru became anxious, he felt that the women around him were all extremely brave.
"Are you sure of this decision? You should remember that I have many women around me. Even if you love me, you can't become queen."
"Even later, when you meet your true love, it will be difficult for you to come to that person."
Mika shook her head at that, "I can't think that much, master. But… Why are you thinking about me so much?"
"I'm just worried about your choice."
"Worried about me?"
"No, I'm worried about your choice."
"Then what's the difference aren't you still worrying about me?"
Hikaru: "..."
Mika hugged his arm tightly: "You're worried about me, that means I'm in your heart, right?"
Hikaru: "..."
Mika's reason was justified, so he had no way to refute it. He could only shake his head: "Okay, I don't want to joke anymore, if you don't want to discuss business, I will leave."
Mika pouted: "Huh! Okay… so… master, what do you want to say?"
Mika's attitude took a 180 degree turn, and her face showed displeasure.
He could only shake his head, after all, his women were many, he was afraid that if there were a few more he would really turn into a milk supply machine.
"I can provide a group of people, they are of the Dwarven race. You probably already know their abilities, right?"
Mika sighed, trying to stabilize her emotions: "Um… they are the most skilled craftsmen in the world. However, they are also judged like mixed-bloods."
"Hm?!" Hikaru felt confused.
"Ah! Maybe you don't know. Dwarves are a rather chaotic race, they don't follow any rules, and their curious nature makes many other races uncomfortable."
"In ancient times, some Dwarves sneaked into the Sanctuary out of curiosity, then broke a pillar causing a palace to collapse."
"From there, the pope was furious, and he ordered the destruction of all Dwarves. The other races already hate the Dwarves, so when they heard the pope's orders, they proceeded to exterminate the entire Dwarves."
"After that I heard nothing about that race. However, their chaos and disobedience is something everyone hates."
"Master, are you not afraid that they will cause trouble for your domain?"
Hikaru smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you can rest assured. If I dare to use that group of Dwarves, it means I can manage them."
That's right, as long as the Harpy group is managed by him, the Dwarves won't be a big deal.
Mika was relieved to hear that. She was only worried about the Dwarves causing trouble for Hikaru.
"Then… you choose a suitable place to make a workshop and write down what you need, I will prepare it for you."
Mika nodded and said, "But the most important thing is the materials needed to make the fabric."
Hikaru smiled and replied, "I have found a solution for that."
"But… will this affect you, master. I mean… Do you really want to mass produce fabric?"
Hikaru nodded: "Yes, that's what I'm aiming for. Mika, the economy of the territory will start from you, I hope you can work hard."
Mika now smiled confidently: "Of course, but if you kiss me, I'll work even harder."
Hikaru: "..."
Are you fucking greedy for my body?
He shook his head, then disappeared. When Mika saw this she just smiled, but no one knew what was in her heart.
…
Outside, Narita was walking slowly down the street, and looking around. The people in the territory were mostly residents from the Farm House.
Although they were a little curious about Narita's appearance, they continued what they were doing after just looking at him.
Narita looked around, although the population in this place was sparse, he didn't understand why he felt comfortable.
Yes, this place was different from other places, it was even different from his Sanctuary in ancient times.
Narita recalled when he was in the ancient Sanctuary, when he went out, he was on a rickshaw escorted by 4 Kings. Wherever he passed, everyone had to kneel on the ground and make way for him, including the kings of other Kingdoms.
At that time, he did not feel respect and comfort, he only felt the fear and anxiety of those around him.
Unlike now, he could walk freely on the street, no one bowed to him or knelt on the ground. He could sense that everyone in this place was very friendly and didn't worry about his appearance.
Was it that what he did was wrong?
Was it wrong for commoners to be afraid of nobles?
No, I'm not wrong, it's Hikaru who's wrong.
Even though Hikaru was right, if it didn't make the commoners fear the nobles, everything would be chaotic.
The comfort will make the people seem to start looking down on the nobles, and the rules. At that time, they will rebel, and they will mess everything up.
In the past, Narita witnessed many coups because commoners weren't afraid of nobles. But the destination of those coups was the brutal repression of the nobles.
He didn't understand why Hikaru wanted to be so friendly with the commoners? Doesn't he know that in the river of history, many kingdoms can still exist without the commoners?
Didn't Hikaru know that the commoners would only make the kingdom more chaotic?
At this point, Narita began to regret signing an equal contract with Hikaru.
At first, he thought that Hikaru's potential was great so he could help Hikaru develop his territory.
As Hikaru's domain grew, Narita would then build a church within Hikaru's domain and recruit followers.
Thus, Narita could once again recreate the splendor of the Sanctuary. However, Narita now felt that Hikaru might not be able to help him.
Yes, he felt that Hikaru was a bit weak, no, too weak. Narita wanted to prove Hikaru wrong but he couldn't seem to prove it.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him, a girl with a very cute appearance approached him: "Oy! You're Narita right?"
"You are..." Narita asked, confused.
"Ah! I'm Shala."
"Um." Narita knew Shala, anyway Hikaru introduced him to the people in charge of important tasks in the domain.
He also heard information about Shala as well as her current mission, it was just that he had never seen Shala so he didn't know what she looked like.
However, upon seeing Shala, Narita got a little annoyed, he then started wondering why the people around Hikaru were all pretty girls.
But that's not the main problem, the main problem was that they were all very talented, and not useless flowers.
"Why are you looking for me?" Narita asked.
"Um! I heard from master that you've just arrived here, so I wanted to show you around the territory." Shala laughed.
Narita heard that without interest and said, "Sorry, I still have work to do."
"Hahahaha… won't you also come to me to discuss business? Let's talk as we walk now, okay?"
Narita heard that, and he felt that this was a little reasonable, so he decided to follow Shala.
The two walked down the street, Narita clasped his hands behind his back, he felt a bit at ease in an inexplicable mood. Perhaps it was because the atmosphere inside the territory was also very comfortable.
Shala suddenly spoke up: "You feel very comfortable here, don't you?"
Narita also made no secret: "Yes, very comfortable. However, this comfort is killing this place."
"Hm? Why?" Shala asked, confused.
"Because if ordinary people feel too comfortable, they won't work hard, their fear of nobles will also be greatly reduced."
"Why do you want commoners to fear nobles? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to be happy and respect each other?"
Narita shook his head: "Shala, you are too young and inexperienced to talk about these matters."
"You must become a noble, the leader of a kingdom or territory. Only then will you realize that friendliness does not always lead to peace."
"You should know that, only when the commoners respect the nobles, then, will they obey the rules set by the nobles."
Shala heard that and smiled: "You are right, but there is also something wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean… you should look around."
Narita looked around, didn't see anything strange, suddenly… he realized that this place was full of people, but they moved in a very regular way, and they did not mess around.
"Did you see it?" Shala smiled and said: "This is the road law issued by the master. You must go on the right side, on the pedestrian crossing."
"Of course, at the beginning of the enactment of this law, not everyone will follow it. That's why the security team will guard and remind everyone."
"In the beginning, the police team will need to work a lot, but after about 7 days… people will get into the habit of walking on the right, the right lane for them."
"At that time, you don't need to guard or remind them, they still follow the rules that you have issued."
"It is a change of habit, of course this concept was also told to me by the master."
"Change of habit?" Narita mumbled confusedly.
However, everything was as Shala said, although in the middle of the road sometimes a few Lizards could be seen guarding, they didn't need to be reminded much.
The people around voluntarily obeyed the rules, they went in the right lane that the lord had prescribed.
Shala continued: "The fear of the common people can only help you rule them for a short time. If they can't stand the fear of water, there are only two cases."
"They will leave that place to find another place that is more comfortable. Or they will riot to overthrow that fear."
