Chapter 1336: First Gift

"You're welcome, Lord Iluya," I said with a smile, "Violet City is really a fairyland, it's so fascinating."

We enjoyed the scenery while walking towards the city lord's mansion.

After entering the city lord's mansion, he arrived at the meeting hall, prepared some tea, and sat across from each other.

I said: "The purpose of my coming here must have been known to the Lord of Iluya."

"Yes, Sir Elder." Iluya ordered someone to fetch a document, handed it to me, and said, "These are the list of traitors."

After taking the document and flipping through it, I couldn't help but say: "There are quite a few rebels."

"Yes," said City Lord Iluya: "Moreover, these are only what we have so far, and there are still some that have not been discovered."

"Suddenly so many people rebelled together. It must have been planned a long time ago." I thought: "It seems that it has little to do with the rule of the Fairy Queen. Could it be because the Fairy Queen did something unfair, which caused them to be dissatisfied? , are you the one who rebelled?"

"The Elf Queen has always loved her people as her own children, and has never done anything unfair."

The Lord of Iluya spoke with an extremely serious attitude, and he emphasized every word. He seemed to want to tell me with a firm attitude that the reason for the rebellion had nothing to do with the Queen.

"It is neither the Fairy Queen's fault nor the Elf Queen's fault, so there is only one possibility." I said slowly: "The nobles of Ivy City want to get rid of the rule of the Elf Queen and become independent emperors."

City Lord Iluya was silent for a few seconds and said, "I don't know, so I don't dare to answer rashly."

"No problem" I waved my hand and said: "The two cities are adjacent to each other. Lord Iluya, what do you think of the Lord Ivy City?"

"He is a loyal gentleman, unlike someone who would act rebelliously," Lord Iluya said seriously.

"You still have a very good opinion of him."

"I'm just expressing my feelings, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and I can't completely see through a person's true nature."

She was very cautious in her answers, as if she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and causing trouble.

"I understand. I will decide this matter myself." Tou Bei took a sip of tea and asked, "What kind of situation is Ivy City in now?"

"At least half of the territory of Ivy City is controlled by the rebels. The Lord of Ivy City is now trapped in the City Lord's Mansion and cannot leave the city. He can only communicate with the outside world through the communication crystal in the Adventurer Base."

"Isn't the adventurer base occupied yet?" I asked.

"The elder is joking, how could the adventurer base be occupied?"

Facing the smile of Lord Iluya, I frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why can't the Adventurer Base be occupied? There are many tools to communicate with the outside world. Occupying it will cut off Ivy City from the outside world." Communication with the outside world.”

"Elder, you are too worried," City Lord Iluya said: "The Adventurer Base has always been regarded by many adventurers as a sacred existence, a bridge to communicate with the God of Creation. Any person or organization that dares to get involved in the Adventurer Base will They will all be punished."

Looking at her serious expression when she spoke, others couldn't help but believe her.

If the facts are consistent with what the Lord of Iluya said, then it would save a lot of trouble - I have always suspected from just now that the previous phone call was a fake message sent by the traitor.

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

"He shall be punished with the death penalty," said the Lord of Iluya City.

"Capital punishment. Capital punishment." I raised my head, looked at her and said, "In other words, execution, right?"

"Yes," City Lord Iluya said: "All planners and participants, regardless of identity, will be executed."

"Then if all the aristocratic residents of Ivy City participate in the rebellion, shouldn't the city be massacred?"

"This" City Lord Iluya looked stern, a little bit, and said in a low voice: "Yes."

"What the hell is this law!"

"ah?"

The Lord of Iluya was startled by my sudden words. She raised her head and stared at me with a blank look on her face.

"Some people are indeed hateful and have rebellious thoughts in their bones. Some people are beguiled and tricked into joining the rebel ranks. There are also some people who simply have no choice but to join the rebel ranks." I spoke righteously , continued: "Those who are rebellious in their bones will be killed. Those who were bewitched were killed. Relatively speaking, it is a bit unfair, but it can also be attributed to their lack of firm loyalty to the Elf Queen. , but if those who join involuntarily are killed, won’t they seem very aggrieved?”

"What the elder means is"

"Rebels to the leader must die. Others can reduce their culpability as appropriate. Those who are rebellious in their bones will be heavily culpable. Those who were induced to join will be culpable lightly. Those who joined involuntarily will be exempted from liability. Those who have contributed to helping me eliminate the rebellion will be rewarded!"

Putting down the tea cup, I said: "Now you immediately send someone to engrave what I just said on writing paper. Print as many as possible and introduce them all into the city with headless arrows. I want the whole city to see my words." Decision, and the law I am changing!”

"Yes, I obey."

When Lord Iluya left, there was a hint of joy on his face that had not yet melted away.

"Attack the heart first, Xiaoyi, your move is very beautiful," Boss Renne praised.

"I just don't know if it will work or not." I sighed slightly and said, "Most elves are straight-tempered, and it is difficult to change the truth they have recognized, unless someone is willing to take the lead."

"Should I recruit a subordinate to pretend to be the best?" Boss Ren asked.

"No need," I shook my head and said, "The risk is too great and it's not worth it."

“What if no one is willing to take the lead?”

"Then we have to attack the territory with heavy troops and let them feel the pressure from their compatriots. I guess that by then, there will be some prominent ones who have defected from the rebels."

"What if it hasn't happened yet?"

"Then there will be a wanton massacre." I narrowed my eyes and said slowly: "If the problem cannot be solved by reasoning, use a butcher's knife to make 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." I sneered and continued: "In the previous child abduction case, Moonlight City Daily rated me as a foreign elder 'very highly'. I am a ruthless murderer who treats my compatriots very highly." The butcher who showed no mercy at all. Wait, at that time, my title caused several waves. This matter has not passed long until now. Presumably, my evil reputation is among those guys in Ivy City. There should also be some deterrence in the ears.”

Hopefully there is still deterrence.

I also don’t want that green town covered with ivy to be stained with red marks.

I don't even want to receive the tragic news that a branch city was massacred when the Elf Queen returns.
