A month later, the underground world of Asura District changed drastically. The various small groups that were once scattered were conquered and incorporated by the two leaders and incorporated into a unified jurisdiction system.

Regarding this situation, the local Police Station not only did not stop it, but turned a blind eye and acquiesced.

If they are small and scattered groups, faced with many cases that occur, they will have to carry out difficult investigations and explore the complicated relationships. But after the current unification, they can easily get the results by just contacting the leaders of the underground world, which reduces many troublesome processes.

"Sir Hedra," Spider Woman" wants to see you." Sitting in the neat hall, Sylutia had just finished listening to the reports from all parties, "Four Fingers" came over and asked quietly.

"Spider Woman..." Sylutia recalled thinking about this former leader.

"Yes, after you were attacked by the Blood Clan, she was also implicated. She was severely investigated by the authorities and most of her subordinates were handed over. In the past few months, she could only hide in the mansion and dare not show her face."

"However, she also learned about you from some channels, so she wants to see you and get your approval to come back." Four Fingers explained the purpose of the other party's visit.

"I remember that among the four former big leaders, "Vertical Eye" was mainly involved in smuggling and identity forgery, while "Spider Woman" was mainly involved in human trafficking and operating prostitution venues, right?"

"That's right."

"Then just disappear. I don't like this kind of people." Sylutia shook his head.

Four Fingers Although he wanted to say that the other party promised to provide a lot of benefits, but looking at Sylutia's expression, he knew that the young lady had already made a decision and would not change it easily.

"Then I'll reject her." He immediately changed his tone.

Seeing Four Fingers about to walk out of the hall, Sylutia called him again.

"Tell her to stop certain thoughts in the future, otherwise..." Sylutia wanted to say some words threatening punishment, but she was not very good at bloody and scary things.

"It's up to you." The girl sighed softly, feeling that sometimes she was still not cruel enough.

"Don't worry, Master Hedra, we understand what you mean." Four Fingers made a clear gesture.

Isn't that what the leader of the underground world does? Warning, punishing, and establishing authority. If you are not facing this black-haired girl, Four Fingers is not an easy person to get along with in the eyes of the majority of workers, but a name with a terrifying aura that makes people feel fear and pressure.

What makes these lawless Orc obedient is not the preaching of an old woman, but the intimidation of being beaten with swords and sticks. However, now Sylutia has perfected many rules, making their methods a little softer.

A few days later, "Spider Woman" had to urgently sell her property in Asura District, and then left the place where she had been for decades with a small number of cronies.

There are various rumors about her departure.

"Have you heard that Spider Woman was kicked out by that adult overnight just because he offended Miss Hedra?"

"Is that so? But the version I heard is that Spider Woman knelt down to beg Miss Hedra that day, but was slapped more than a dozen times by the other party. She couldn't bear it, and then she ran away secretly."

"Ah, so that's it? It seems that the "eldest lady of Black Griffin" is not a soft-hearted person. She has tortured and killed many Orc before. It is said that Fire Pig's arm was also chopped off by her herself. Just like that, Fire Pig is still convinced by her, which shows that she is very capable."

"That's not true. Now "Four Fingers" and "Fire Pig" have been forced to integrate under her pressure. I don't think that they were life and death enemies before. Now that they can make peace, that "Untouchable Black Griffin" must be even more terrifying."

The truth of the matter is sometimes not necessarily accepted by people. Just like everyone prefers to believe that Hedra, who can take both "Fire Pig" and "Four Fingers" under his jurisdiction, must be a more ruthless and powerful dark lady, rather than some gentle and quiet girl.

"But then again, since the eldest lady integrated the forces of the two big guys, the streets of Asura District are indeed much safer now. The thefts and robberies that were often encountered in the past are now less."

"The chaotic stage should have passed, but the eldest lady will go to "Thetis Academy" sooner or later. It's hard to say how long it will last after she leaves."

"Although she is a bit scary, having someone like her here is actually a good thing for us."

Time passed slowly, and Sylutia only had the last month left in Asura District.

Sylutia didn't have much time to stay in Asura District. During the period before leaving, she traveled to various neighborhoods in Asura District to inspect and record the local situation.

Including but not limited to local resident composition, income level, living environment, interest demands, safety conditions, industrial facilities, etc.

She collected and organized these materials, bound them into a book, and then further refined and integrated them. The upper and lower aspects of Asura District gradually became clear to her.

This super Academy District area accommodates nearly 70,000 people every year, with a permanent population of about half a million. How much food is transported every year, how much salary is provided to teachers and workers, how many resources are supplied, and finally how many qualified third-level Mage are produced. A large-scale education system model gradually unfolds.

Compared with the Woodland Alliance's scattered education system, the centralized education system greatly improves efficiency and reduces resource occupation. At the same time, large-scale enrollment makes it easier to find geniuses from a huge population base.

If Woodland Alliance is still in the form of an ancient manual workshop, then Mage Alliance has already taken the prototype of an industrial assembly line.

However, Mage Alliance himself does not seem to fully understand the advantages of this system. Due to historical inertia, the traditional kingdom system is still retained in non-core areas, and many high-level Mage themselves are also born in these kingdoms. Although they themselves have become powerful Transcendent, their family members and descendants around them may not be able to achieve such achievements.

The kingdom's aristocratic system can provide a superior living environment for their families and future generations. They no longer have to work as hard as other civilians to make money. This is why Mage Alliance has no great intention to fully promote this system.

Even if it is good for the organization, for individuals, they still want to retain the current binary model.

However, in Sylutia's opinion, this model will come to an end sooner or later.

Mage Alliance The third level Mage is added every year. Their family and descendants all want to receive noble treatment, but the kingdom's carrying capacity is limited. These expanded noble groups do not have to pay taxes, which will sooner or later lead to the kingdom's financial collapse.

However, Mage Alliance is not without solutions at present. The subordinate workshops of various schools have brought in a lot of revenue, which can make up for this part of the financial gap. In addition, if the tax revenue is really insufficient, Mage Alliance is likely to start external expansion and launch a war under the instigation of radicals.

This will not only obtain a large amount of new land and resources, but also consume some of the excessive Mage noble class.

In addition, regarding Orc's question.

Obviously, Orc has a low status in the Mage Alliance. They are naturally not suitable for Mage's training model and practice method, and cannot enter Mage Alliance. However, compared to humans, Orc is more skinny and has lower "human rights". They can be made to work with lower wages and benefits, which makes a large number of labor positions in the city filled by Orc.

This gap in treatment and human rights was accepted by Orc in the early days, because they had no better way out, but when their offspring are born, whether they will willingly recognize this differential treatment becomes a question.

If Orc does not recognize it, then these Orc workers entrenched in various cities are hidden factors of instability. They will lie dormant when Mage Alliance is strong, but once Mage Alliance encounters challenges and crises, and goes downhill and trough, their resentment will burst out.

After all, the human beings who become Transcendent are a minority among the crowd, and most of them are just ordinary people. Generally, it takes two to three ordinary people to defeat the same Orc. At that time, a huge number of Orc will become the gunpowder that ignites Mage Alliance.

This is a problem for the Mage Alliance. In fact, it is also a problem that Woodland Alliance will face in the future. However, at the current stage, Woodland Alliance is still a relatively dispersed and independent small group. It does not implement a strong centralized management method, which also results in friction and conflicts being controlled within a small range.

No wonder there are only a handful of dynasties that unified the entire continent in history. The earliest Blood Dynasty relied on the "Blood Clan transformation" ceremony to incorporate the powerful Transcendent from all parties into its own system., and used a feudal noble system to control a huge territory. Since the Blood Clan royal family has special blood suppression on the transformed Blood Clan descendants, their rule can support such a huge structure.

Another example is "Golden Honey Dynasty". It is said that in the center of the dynasty, there was Hour of "Insect Moth" living in Golden Sacred Tree, which had fruits flowing with golden honey, and many Golden Honey Dynasty The nobles and lords of E all need this "Fruit of Golden Honey" to improve themselves and purify their blood. The path they practice is also controlled by Hour "Queen of Resonant Music", so they are extremely loyal.

The last example is "Solar Dynasty", which is still a prosperous dynasty today. Because of the favor of "Dragon of the Corona", the dynasty prospered, and the royal family flowing with dragon blood naturally became the ruler of the dynasty. Rather than saying that the dynasty was managed well, it is better to say that all parties surrendered to the power of "Dragon of the Corona" and did not dare to challenge, so they accepted the framework constraints of the Solar Dynasty.

Mage Alliance's idea is not wrong, I am afraid that only by giving birth to "Hour" can we truly integrate Fourth Continent and allow the organization and school to be passed down stably.

There are many ways to solve problems. If Sylutia is thinking of using the experience of the previous life to solve social conflicts from the bottom up and establishing a huge organization with a sound system, then Mage Alliance is thinking of absorbing the experience of the past, solving problems from the top down, suppressing conflicts with incomparable strength, and building a new prosperous dynasty.

Sitting at the desk, Sylutia wrote quickly with a pen, recording his analysis and insights during this period, and then reviewing them again.

When people imagine in their minds, they often ignore a lot of details. Once they are organized into specific action steps and response strategies, many problems will be exposed.

Looking at the analysis framework she had written, the girl flicked the quill with her fingers, and the end of the feather scratched her chin, giving it a slightly hard touch.

After thinking for a while, Sylutia continued writing.

If we want to bridge the relationship between Orc and humans, how should we make them recognize each other, treat each other as brothers, and respect and unite each other?

Giving preferential treatment? Although this can bring the relationship closer in a short period of time, once the benefits cannot be given or the intensity is reduced, it will cause dissatisfaction. Moreover, after a long time, one party will easily take it for granted and does not need to thank you.

There is no benefit, so why should we stay together and unite with each other? The difference in appearance and body is so obvious that it is impossible to think that these are the same kind of people, which will naturally create discrimination.

Sylutia leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to think.

No wonder racial unity has been a difficult problem throughout the ages, so much so that some extreme factions want to solve it once and for all.

Should we use religious means to solve the problem? Sylutia thinks of the past "Silver Radiance Church" and "Melancholy" who had saved the world by calming "Riot of the Mad Crows", which made a lot of people The ethnic group united around her and established a huge church organization. If it were not for the interference and interruption of "Golden Honey Dynasty", I am afraid she would have naturally become "Radiant Moon" Hour.

"Hour", "Taotu", "Dynasty" and "Race", several different words are strangely related together, creating a vague connection.

If, one day, she wanted to become the new "Hour", how would she achieve it? This idea suddenly appeared in Sylutia's mind, then slowly dissipated and was buried in a corner.

There is still a long way to go, and I have just started.

Sylutia shook his head lightly, dispersed some distant thoughts, and began to write complete organizational rules for the future underground world of Asura District, including how to evaluate and employ people, where the commission will be allocated, how to make this framework system long-term, and how to protect each other's interests, so that these lowest-level workers can obtain the most basic dignity and full protection.

The current rules are definitely imperfect and must be continuously verified and improved in subsequent implementations. I believe that one day it will slowly get closer to the scene and world that Sylutia expects. Then her efforts and efforts will not be in vain, and she can feel at ease and satisfied.

Even if she can gain supreme freedom, it is still a completely different experience to visit a dry and gray world or to walk in a beautiful world of blooming flowers.

She sincerely believes that only when her environment and world become better can she gain peace of mind. Otherwise, the so-called tranquility is just another way of escaping reality.

Self, body and mind, and the world are inseparable.

Dynasty, Tao, and Hour are also related to each other.
