The witch thought I am a Demon God

When the tramp saw that Ivita was silent, he cried even louder.

Ivita understood that the half-snake, half-human monster he was talking about should be the snake-man among the children of the forest.

It seems that this guy may not have been a homeless man before, but his family died in the previous war between himself and the Children of the Forest, and his family was also ruined.

Ivita owed him nothing.

Because without him, this guy would not only have his family destroyed, but he might also die without his body intact.

The surrounding citizens heard the sound and all looked at this scene curiously.

They were not fools, and they could see that this man was touching Ivita.

The old witch sneered, glanced at them fiercely, then stared at the homeless man who actually touched the porcelain lord and said: "Sir, let's capture him and throw him to the mining area to mine stones."

"You dare to deceive me. You are simply seeking death."

The old witch reminded Ivita, "We must establish the majesty of our rule here."

"If such a person succeeds once, soon everyone will ignore the rules and act arbitrarily. There will be chaos here. They will kill each other, hate each other, and then destroy themselves. I saw it in a village in Hearthstone This kind of thing.”

Iveta shook her head. In fact, it was still because she was too poor.

This kind of thing happens easily when you are poor.

However, this kind of thing cannot be tolerated.

The man who was holding the horse's legs and crying was startled, his face turned pale, "Sir...Sir, I have a three-year-old girl at home. She is at home alone. She..."

Iveta snapped her fingers and used magic to forcefully lift the guy up and keep him away from the horse's legs to prevent her from failing to control the horse and letting the horse really kick him to death.

Ivita said loudly, not only to this middle-aged man, but also to the watching citizens: "I will build a wealthy territory."

"Let everyone live a life that can only be lived by citizens in the city, but only by working together can we create such a territory."

"Therefore, I will not tolerate any extortion, cheating or theft."

Ivita exercised her judicial power over this middle-aged man and said: "Now as your lord, under the witness of the God of All Things, I sentence you to work for my territory for free for one month."

The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned gray. Then his daughter was about to starve to death.

If he had known this, he shouldn't have been so cunning.

He thought that this lord seemed to be easier to talk to than Baron Morrow, so he was so bold that he did such a thing.

He was really wrong.

He really regretted it.

The young man in front of him was more decisive than the original old lord.

But what about his daughter?

Ivita suddenly changed her subject, "Your daughter, I will find a servant to help take care of her."

"The lord has the responsibility to take care of the children and the elderly in the territory."

"What's your name? I'll arrange for someone to go to your house. Tell me your name. You can follow me back to the castle immediately and work for me for free."

Thinking about it carefully, Iveta suddenly realized that she seemed to be in a good position.

The father is working for himself and getting some milk money for his daughter. What's wrong?

The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "I am Antus."

Ivita nodded, then rode her horse towards the castle.

The old witch smiled and playfully glanced at the surrounding residents who were thoughtful and indeed frightened by Ivita.

Antus looked at Ivita leaving, suddenly stood up, and shouted to Ivita: "I'm sorry, sir, I shouldn't have deceived you."

Iveta waved her hand to him and told him to follow him quickly. Don't think that if you say something nice or apologize, you won't have to serve a sentence.

After returning to the castle, Ivita began to call for Rayleigh, the steward, and Tartax.

Bankers had sent money before.

Now it's time to plan how to spend it. Iveta had already made a plan when she was in the study.

He showed these things to his subordinates.

First of all, the technology of making soap is actually not difficult.

If you don't require too high quality, you only need caustic soda and vegetable oil, or animal oil.

They also needed a large soap manufacturing plant with a grease separator and many containers.

The manufacture and purchase of these devices, thanks to the efforts of Ivita and Tartax, is expected to cost at least 500 gold pounds.

Workers in the soap manufacturing factory can hire people from the territory.

The second step is to expand the scale of cast iron production. Ivita estimates to spend 600 gold pounds to build 30 more blast furnaces, increase the scale of the blast furnaces for forging cast iron to 45 blast furnaces, and spend another 100 gold pounds to recruit an estimated 200 blacksmiths and More than four hundred apprentices.

Apprentices can be recruited first from young people in the territory. In principle, young people from other territories cannot be recruited.

At the same time, blacksmiths must be recruited from other territories, but they must sign a life-long contract.

Of course, Ivita is also prepared to pay these blacksmiths who serve her for life, higher than normal wages.

Likewise, he planned to allocate 500 gold pounds to quickly rebuild all villages in the territory.

After all, this represents the appearance of one's own territory, otherwise businessmen passing by one's territory would not be able to invest in one's territory with confidence after taking one look at these unkempt citizens.

Ivita decided to remain neutral as much as possible during Ambrose's war, and took advantage of the chaos to develop her own territory, striving to become the richest local lord in order to increase her natural magic power.

He has a feeling that when he builds his territory into a kingdom of abundance, that is when the source of his natural magic power will be completed.

Then, he planned to spend 2,500 gold pounds to purchase 600,000 bushels of grain, which was probably enough food for 70,000 people to eat for a year.

It is also the territory of more than 8,000 people now, which can last for eight to nine years.

Of course, grains are somewhat difficult to preserve, so some discounts are needed.

He also left 2,800 gold pounds, which he planned to use to purchase raw materials and increase production capacity after the soap industry was established. He also left some money to advance wages.

Although, now, his territory can produce more than 700 gold pounds every month.

After the meeting, Ivita was glad that she purchased Tartax from the slave merchant. Otherwise, it would be difficult to implement this huge infrastructure plan well with just a few of them.

Tartax, on the other hand, also felt happy about Ivita's huge and ambitious infrastructure construction plan.

In his eyes, none of this was about magic.

The scale of these infrastructure construction plans and the ambition contained in them seem to have long been far beyond the reach of a small baron.

This made Tartax firm up his determination to recommend Ivita to the school city.

After solving this matter, it was already evening, and Ivita entered the mirror space and continued to study her water magic.

He wanted to create magic as soon as possible that could protect him while he slept.

To prevent God Pan from easily approaching him at night from happening again.

At the same time, Ivita also began to meditate with his eyes closed, exploring his soul world where the fog of gnosis had arisen. These leisurely things originally made him very comfortable.

But on the third day, in the afternoon, the Griffin troops returned from the small town of Kapa, ​​bringing huge bad news.

Outside the castle, Ivita saw that the soldiers were injured and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The Griffin Knight's first words when he found Ivita made Ivita's expression change drastically.

Griffin Knight said timidly: "Lord, the mayor of Capa Town asked me to tell you... a baron is not qualified to touch the secrets there."

"Those were his exact words, not mine."

"I'm sorry, sir, we...we actually failed and failed, betraying your trust in us."

Ivita ignored his apology and instead asked the so-called mayor. "Did he say anything else?"

"No more." Knight Griffin felt embarrassed. He suddenly remembered something, "By the way, we overheard the townspeople talking while we were captured by the other party."

"They seem to be saying that there was once an altar where the Chitose Fire was lit, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."
