Chapter 237: Xila is here! Xila is dead.
As the future mistress of the world, she will definitely help Li De govern the world.
It would be strange if Alpha didn't look worried when thinking about the endless problems.
After all, Claire's expression was very ugly at the moment. You know, Alpha would only need to frown in the future, but she had to frown now.
However, both Claire and Alpha knew that it took patience to make a country run according to one's will.
In fact, if there were no slave contracts, it would be basically impossible to expect to build a country into the ideal state in one's mind.
After all, there are only so many things a person can take care of. If you don't believe it, look at history. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't suppress human greed even with such harsh means, let alone make all officials do things meticulously according to his will.
In fact, it is unrealistic to expect that people who have signed slave contracts will be spread throughout the empire.
The only thing that can be achieved is that the person in charge of each city is a contractor, and then let these people manage the people below, and this is the maximum control that Li De can achieve.
After all, one contractor costs 10 points, and completing a hell-level task can only increase 50 contractors.
For the current empire, if Li De wants to replace all city rulers with contractors, he will need at least 25 contractors.
Taking into account the future Western Kingdom and the Eastern Island Countries, at least 25 more people will be needed to barely meet the demand.
If new territories are to be added due to population growth after people's livelihood has stabilized in the future, then the needs of the contractors will be a bottomless pit, at least two or three hundred will be needed.
And this is just the world of Zhan Mei. If the real world is included, Li De must carry out hell-level tasks for a long time just to increase the number of contractors.
Of course, this doesn’t matter to Li De.
After all, there is only so much rest time between tasks, and when the time is up, you can't be lazy even if you want to.
Unless we get rid of this mission system one day, the missions will continue.
These points obtained will definitely be used to improve strength, but compared to before Li De accepted Miyano Shiho, the frequency of using fusion cards and replacement cards will be greatly reduced.
The extra points can only be used to increase the number of contractors.
So Li De's mentality was very good. After all, there was no point in being anxious, so why bother?
Instead of thinking about distant things, it is better to deal with the present.
After being comforted by Reed, Claire and Alpha looked at each other and then relaxed their frowns.
In fact, they are anxious not because they cannot bear to see ordinary people living in dire straits, but just because they think that someone dares to pretend to obey but actually disobeys them, and they have no way to deal with it immediately.
At the end of the day, I still felt that my face was hurt, but I couldn't fight back in time, so I was just very unhappy.
Don't underestimate those who have awakened the Dominant Color. Dominant, Dominant, the word "Dominant" comes first and the word "King" comes second.
Precisely because of his tyranny, he does not allow anyone to go against him.
This is the reason why the two women frowned.
"Sid, when do you think we should bring our mother over?" Claire asked Reed.
“Let’s wait until Shiho completes the optimization plan. After all, the only place we have full control over right now is the Emerald Palace. We can’t even fully control the Imperial City.
If we bring my mother here now, she will have nowhere to go except to stay in the Jade Palace. After all, she doesn't have enough strength to protect herself. So I think it's better to wait until Shiho has a plan before bringing her here. Anyway, it won't take long. "Li De said after thinking about it.
"Then let's decide it this way!" Claire nodded after hearing this.
Although Reed didn't even look at Miyano Shiho when he was talking to Claire, Miyano Shiho knew in which direction the focus of the next work should be adjusted.
Just one month later, Miyano Shiho announced the transformation plans for those personnel who had been signed but had not yet undergone blood transformation.
Maria and Alice did not have many choices among them. After all, they themselves had half demon blood, so the only choices they could make were from three blood sources.
One is Alexia, choosing her will give you healing abilities; another is Victoria, choosing her will give you multiplying abilities; and the other is Ipsilon, choosing her will give you the ability to slide.
Because of Maria's special status, Claire has not yet raised the issue of the slave contract with her.
In fact, if Claire really wanted to mention it, Maria would probably not refuse to be a child slave once.
But it's useless to mention it now, because Li De no longer has any slave contracts available.
Because Hei Tong had returned to the imperial capital half a month ago.
When she was faced with the slave contract offered by Zeta, after hearing that she could heal her body and live with her sister Akame, Kurome was happy to have her soul imprinted on it.
After all, the training that Hei Tong has always received is not to disobey the orders of the empire, and her previous direct superior was their "father" Gozzi who trained them.
After Gozzi was killed by Akame, the leader became Dr. Fashion.
After Dr. Fashion was killed by Zeta and the Imperial Assassination Force was taken over by Zeta and reorganized into the Royal Guards, Hei Tong's boss became Zeta.
After personally feeling the despair-inducing aura emanating from Zeta, Hei Tong no longer dared to have the slightest thought of resistance.
In fact, the two girls in the Zeta Contract, whether it was Kuroneko or Celia, had almost no resistance when facing the slave contract, and were much more straightforward than others.
At least when Fubuki contracted Hill on behalf of Tornado, she was very frustrated by Hill's innocent personality.
Although Maria did not sign the contract, based on her identity, who would dare to treat her as an outsider? What Claire once said does not apply to Maria.
Miyano Shiho naturally knew that she could neglect anyone but not Maria and Esdeath.
The former's identity is clear, and the latter is the last person signed by Li De personally, which is also special.
Looking back at Maria’s choice, it was naturally Ipsilon.
In fact, if Beta had no choice, Beta's mythical beast would be Maria's favorite.
Isn't it that older women care most about their appearance?
So after learning about the three abilities she could choose from, Maria only hesitated for a moment between healing and sliding.
When Maria learned that there were enough people with healing abilities ready to serve her, she chose the ability of sliding without hesitation.
Her choice is exactly the same as Alice's. In fact, if Alice were to choose for herself, she would be more inclined to choose the multiplied ability.
But Alexia is the one in charge, so Alice can only choose Ipsilon's slippery ability.
Except for the two of them who came from the real world, the other three contractors are natives of the world of Zhan Mei.
Compared to the three choices they had, the three contractors behind them had a lot more choices.
It can be said that except for Reed and Claire's bloodlines, they can choose the bloodlines of everyone else. However, the elemental bloodlines of Alpha, Gamma, and Zeta cannot be elementalized even if they are selected, so they are not worth choosing.
"So, whose bloodline did you choose as your template?" Reed asked Esdeath who was teleported back to the imperial capital.
"Master, after communicating with Shiho, I chose Tornado's bloodline as my own template." Esdeath answered straightforwardly.
After all, she had already been notified of the bloodline transformation, and even the candidates she could choose had been told to her long ago, allowing her to consider it first.
"Using a tornado?" This answer really surprised Li De.
After all, strictly speaking, Tornado's bloodline is considered second-hand.
However, although both of them chose to multiply their abilities, Tornado’s advantage over Victoria lies in the structure of her brain.
It is obvious that Esdeath is interested in telekinesis.
"I personally think that telekinesis has great potential. It is suitable for both offense and defense, or for torture." Esdeath was very honest, and the heat in her eyes was not concealed at all.
"Okay, since you have made this decision, then let's do as you wish." Li De expressed his respect for Esdeath's decision.
"Thank you, master!" Esdeath said immediately.
In fact, she had a small request in her heart, but she didn't raise it in the end.
That is when she hopes Delta can be her sparring partner while she adjusts to her new body.
But thinking that I had just arrived, my status was far from that of an old man like Delta, so I didn't mention it.
"What about you?" When meeting Esdeath, Li De also called several other contractors.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zeta said that I can only choose Lord Beta's bloodline." Hei Tong spoke first.
"I'm looking forward to it! What about you, Sailu?" Li De said with a smile.
After all, it is very obvious why Zeta asked Hei Tong to choose Beta's mythical beast bloodline. Isn't it because he saw that Hei Tong's appearance has the potential to grow into a top beauty?
"Lord Zeta, I choose the bloodline of Lord Delta." Sailu said immediately.
"Delta is also pretty good. What about you, Hill?" Reed continued to ask.
"Lord Fubuki asked me to choose Lord Ipsilon's bloodline. Lord Fubuki felt that Huahua's ability was the best match for me." Hill replied in an unhurried tone.
Hill's answer was within Reed's expectations. After all, Hill's silly and cute temperament was not suitable for Beta's ability.
The only options left are the bloodline of Ipsilon or Alexia.
It's because Delta's shock ability has a very low priority in front of Fubuki and Tornado.
"I see. But what Fubuki said is indeed right. Your abilities are really well matched with Huahua's." Li Decai said this, suddenly stopped, and looked in one direction.
"Master, what's wrong?" Esdeath asked Reed.
"The long-awaited little mouse is finally here." Li De said with a smile.
"Little mouse, it must be the minister's son Sheila." Esdeath heard from others why Reed had kept Ernest and hadn't killed him yet.
"It's him, but he surprised me a little." Li De shook his head.
"Master, why is this?" Esdeath was a little puzzled. After all, she didn't have the strength to sense the internal situation of the Emerald Palace yet, so she could only rely on asking.
"Because the number of people he brought exceeded my imagination." Li De chuckled.
That’s right, it was beyond Li De’s imagination. After all, in Li De’s opinion, there should not be many people willing to accompany him to die, but he didn’t expect that there were quite a few people coming.
Not only were all the members of the Wild Hounds present, but Sheela also brought some extra personnel.
Among them are the modified test products left by Dr. Fashion on an island in the south.
However, as soon as this big guy appeared through the dimensional matrix, he was rolled into a ball by Fubuki and turned into a meatball in the physical sense.
"Are there a lot of people?" Esdeath continued to ask.
"No matter how many there are, they are just a mob." Li De said disdainfully.
"That's true!" Esdeath nodded immediately.
After all, she didn't think that the people brought by Sheila could escape from Fubuki's clutches.
Not to mention that there are several captains of the Shadow Guard Thirteen Team who are currently staying in the Jade Palace.
The only thing that is uncertain is how long they can last.
The answer that Esdeath was concerned about was obtained ten seconds later.
That’s right, after Silla teleported the people over, it took less than ten seconds for the entire army to be wiped out.
After all, facing Fubuki's telekinesis that was blessed by the tornado, the few people Sheila brought were really not enough, and it was over before it even began.
"It's over! Fubuki is really something. At least let Xila and the others perform. It's a rare opportunity to watch a show." Li De immediately shook his head.
"Uh" the women standing in front of Li De were suddenly speechless.
Najensita was also speechless. Although she had already witnessed the scene of Tornado using telekinesis, she was still shocked when she saw it again.
Even though the power displayed by Fubuki at this moment was not that strong at all, for Najenda and others who saw telekinesis for the first time, they were simply shocked.
"Your Majesty, after capturing Sheila, you can execute Ernest." Seleu was more concerned about this. After all, her justice would not tolerate any sand in the sand.
After knowing that Ernest was the source of darkness in the imperial capital, especially after her father was murdered by Ernest's men because he was in the way, if Zeta hadn't suppressed her with the contract, she would have rushed into the prison and chopped Ernest into pieces and fed him to the dogs.
You have to know that she is carrying the biological dog-shaped imperial weapon, the Demonic Beast Transformation [Hundred-Armed Giant], so feeding the dog is definitely a literal meaning.
Although she failed to kill Ernest, she was able to kill her master Oka, who murdered her father and mother, and then fed him to Xiaoke, who was holding her. This was quite dramatic.
I guess Ouka never thought that there would be a day when raising a tiger would cause trouble. After all, in his opinion, Celia was just a little cat that could be controlled at any time.
Who would have thought that after obtaining the power given to her by Zeta through the contract legend, the little kitten instantly turned into an extremely ferocious tigress and swallowed him in one bite.
