There are many ruthless bosses living in my territory

"I'll take care of every single thing!"

"Well, I believe you."

"Now let's talk about strengthening the Red Maple Territory's foundation."

Liszt placed one hand on the hilt of the Sword of Kingship and looked directly at the ten people in front of him.

"Are you willing to exchange souls with me?"

"One of the abilities of my Zanpakutō, [Royal Power], is called [King's Army], which allows me to temporarily grant others experience and power."

"But this benefit can be made permanent, provided that soul fragments are exchanged and lives are linked."

"After you finish, I will get all the experience you gain from training, and then I can pass on the experience to others."

"The number of soul fragments I can currently separate is exactly ten."

This is a good thing!

Apart from not knowing what the impact of splitting the soul fragments would be, being able to gain Lister's experience meant that they could quickly become stronger.

Even someone like Courtini who has no fighting ability at all can now have some ability to protect herself.

Most importantly, the experience of the eleven people can be combined, which means that each of them can become an all-rounder!

If given a choice, Lister would certainly prefer to exchange soul fragments with Madara and the others, but that is impossible. The prerequisite for exchanging soul fragments is complete trust between each other.

Differences in thinking mean that there can be no complete trust.

"Master, we are willing to offer our souls."

...He made it sound like he was some evil demon coming from nowhere.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lister no longer hesitated and used the power of [Royal Power] to split ten soul fragments into the bodies of ten people including Courtini. At the same time, they each split a soul fragment and integrated it into Lister's body.

"The ceremony is over."

"You have to remember that the experience from others needs to be digested before it can become your own. Don't be lazy."

Everyone nodded, realizing the changes that had taken place.

Reina subconsciously wanted to see if there was any difference in herself, and the next second she actually "saw" the structure inside her body.

"That is the power of my magic eye. As long as it is within the range of my magic eye, you can also borrow its power."

The reason why Liszt gave them experience and strength was to make them his brothers and sisters, to serve as his basic base to govern the Red Maple Territory and to complete the things he did not have time to complete.

"Now let me assign the tasks."

"Kortini is responsible for the planning and supervision of the territory's development affairs. Apart from the necessary reports, she will make all other decisions on her own. If she is undecided, she will discuss it with me."

The half-elf housekeeper, Cortini, nodded to show that she understood.

"Betty, Pri, Nadya, and Elsa, in addition to the daily maintenance of Red Maple Castle and ninjutsu training, you four should also spend some time helping Cortini and communicate well with Xiaobai."

Nadiya, the head maid, said she would arrange the work.

Just because they practiced chakra, the four of them became much more efficient at work, freeing up a lot of time. Even their daily practice could be taken turns between two people because they could share their experience.

"Reina, Campbell, Garcia, Orsis, and Scarinka, in addition to daily physical and combat training, the five of you must also patrol the territory while circling the Red Maple Territory and assist Morag in his work."

Reina and the others immediately responded that they would complete all the tasks faithfully.

As for Lister, the time spent on government affairs in his schedule will be much shorter, and more time will be used to improve his own abilities and deal with matters related to people from other worlds.

The power of expulsion can only serve as a deterrent, and more often than not he still has to rely on his own strength to negotiate with the big guys.

Without strength, your words will have no weight, let alone becoming the Speaker of the Parliament of All Worlds and calling the shots.

Liszt always liked to set a great goal first and then move forward step by step, but this does not mean that he had no self-awareness.

He knew that his advantage was that he had a system and knew the fate of the recruits.

He also knew that his disadvantage was compared to their weak individual strength and power.

When playing games with others, it is natural to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses.

He needs to both play to his strengths and make up for his weaknesses.

Establishing a parliament is not a goal that must be achieved immediately. If he decides to express his idea of ​​establishing a parliament to Madara-sama and others, it only means that he is more than 90% sure of success.

As long as the advantages of establishing a parliament far outweigh the disadvantages for everyone, there will be no resistance to it.

So what he has to do is to facilitate this situation so that everyone can benefit, and become the most critical link with his own irreplaceability and credibility.

In the red maple forest, Lister sat cross-legged in front of the plant Xiaobai, staring at the white flowers swaying in the wind.

His brain was working at a rapid speed, and the information of Madara, Aizen, Muzan, and Yuri was constantly being classified and connected.

He already had a general idea of ​​how to do it.

And now, he has to wait for someone.

Before this man comes back, he must be ready to fight!

Lister drew out his Zanpakutō, and the royal power was already in his hands.

A golden spiritual pressure rolled up around his body, and the stirred breeze made the red maple leaves rustle.

Ever since he obtained the Copy Magic Eyes granted by the system, his magic power has increased dramatically every day, and the spiritual power and chakra that can be converted have naturally become several times stronger.

If he converts his magic power into chakra, he would probably have... ten Sharingan Kakashis.

Enough to fight against Muzan Kibutsuji!

however……

Liszt exercised until midnight but still didn't wait for a guy to come.

Hey!

How afraid of death is that scumbag!

Didn't you think of coming here to find out what happened when you were still basking in the sunshine in this world and not dying? !

Can you be more motivated?!

Chapter 37: Maple Town on the Right Track

Although it was beyond Lister's expectation that Muzan Kibutsuji was very cowardly, this did not hinder his plan.

More haste, less speed. Seeking haste when your foundation is not solid will only lead to bad results.

Moreover, he is facing people like Madara, Aizen, and Yuri who understand human nature very well. If he wants to unite their strength to develop the Red Maple Territory, he must proceed slowly.

Therefore, the next morning, Lister temporarily put aside his idea of ​​establishing the Parliament of All Worlds and focused his energy on Red Maple Town.

He did decide to let Courtini decide many matters in the future, but this period of time was critical and he had to keep an eye on it personally.

Because it is time for the autumn harvest.

On the western edge of Red Maple Town, Liszt and Courtine were walking on a path between wheat fields.

Human and orc farmers were bent over working in the wheat fields.

When they saw Liszt, they would stand up, bow and greet him before returning to their work.

Each of them had a bright smile on their face.

"Thanks to Xiaobai, all the crops grown in our territory have a bumper harvest!"

"Manure, dead bodies, and kitchen waste are all quickly degraded to increase soil fertility. Originally, it took manpower to process the waste, but with Xiaobai, we can save manpower and do other things."

Courtini smiled brightly. She brushed the hair by her ear and looked at the vast wheat field, as if she had seen a bright future.

"Lord Lister, the territory you once envisioned may really only take a few decades to realize!"

Liszt nodded.

"Well, now that we have this strange encounter with the alien, we must make appropriate changes to the Red Maple Territory's plans, and the people in the Territory must adapt to the upcoming changes as quickly as possible."

Courteney laughed.

"There is enough food now. The large amount of supplies you brought from White Moon City has replenished the warehouse."

"The school has been built, the teachers have been selected, and there is not much to do this winter, so people can concentrate on their studies."

"Well, education is of utmost importance. We, the people of Red Maple Territory, cannot stand still."

Liszt reminded and emphasized it again.

Now that the United States has undergone changes that he was not aware of, in order to guard against possible foreign threats, it is no longer enough to simply develop at the original pace.

Make full use of all available forces.

"By the way, how is the town construction going? I don't want to have a large group of people living in Red Maple Castle this year."

Last winter, because Red Maple Town was still very simple and many houses were not warm, Lister had to let these people live in his castle.

At the beginning, he told the craftsmen sent by his father to build the houses first, but they insisted on building the lord's castle first according to the regulations.

Then that winter, the castle was bustling.

Courtini recalled the heavy snow last year when Lister personally led people outside to kill jackals and skin them to keep the people warm. She couldn't help but take a small step closer to Lister.

"Don't worry, sir. The houses are well-insulated and windproof. No one will get cold this year."

"Also, Nadia and the others have already learned Wood Release. Combined with Earth Release, town construction will be much faster. The villa planned for Red Maple Forest has already been built, and the only thing left is to place the furniture in it."

"Now the craftsmen are patrolling the territory to see where repairs are needed."

On the way back to Red Maple Territory from White Moon City, Lister asked Madara for advice and wanted to learn Wood Release.

Perhaps Madara also wanted to know if he could learn it, so he taught him.

So Nadia and others who received experience transmitted by Lister also learned Wood Release. Even though their Wood Release was only lifeless Wood Release, it was more than enough to build houses and so on.

When I think about it this way, it seems like there is nothing missing.

Liszt and Courtini walked together on the wide and flat road, and they returned to the center of Red Maple Town.

Every town citizen who saw them would bow and say "Good day, Lord Lister, Lady Cortini".

Their faces were filled with smiles, especially the orcs among them, who were completely different from the numb-faced orcs in White Moon City.

Each of them is striving for the future, rather than pinning their hopes on nobles who govern them or on ethereal gods.

"By the way, Cortini, how is the meat storage? Will everyone have meat this winter?"

"Lord Lister, the Red Maple River is rich in aquatic products, and there are many wild animals in the forest outside the town. Although the breeding industry is still in the preparation stage, I think every family can eat meat at least once a week this winter."

"What about winter clothes? Is everyone dressed warmly? Is there enough firewood? If there is not enough firewood, winter will be very difficult to endure."

"Lord Lister, the tailor has prepared all the winter clothes, the firewood has been centrally managed, and fire prevention measures have been taken. No one will suffer from the cold this winter."

"Where's the doctor? It's easy to get sick in the winter, so we need to be prepared."

"Lord Liszt~" Cortini's tone rose playfully: "Did you forget that Carol is here?"

"The priest's holy light can cure most diseases. The doctors in Red Maple Territory have already built the hospital you mentioned. Every patient will receive timely treatment."

"Is that so? Then there is nothing missing."

"Yeah, we've talked about this a lot."

"Then let's go for a walk."

"Yes, Lord Lister."

Cortini replied gently. They had no idea how many times they had this conversation, but today was the first time it had happened since the aliens appeared.

She looked up at Liszt's profile, his eyes like the sky seemed to be able to accommodate everything.

As they walked, the two came to the center of the town. The difference from half a month ago was that there was an extra pool here, and there was a statue on the pool, which was Lister.

There is a sentence engraved on the base of the statue:

[The Greatest Lord of Red Maple Territory]

Liszt couldn't help laughing.

"This statue was not there when I came back yesterday. Who did it?"

Courteney said with a smile.

"It's Betty and Pri. They were studying earth escape before and spent half a month building a fortress at the pass."
