Lords of the Warp Beginning with Violet

"How is it?" Li Sheng asked after coming out of the carriage.

"I want to stop by the barony here before heading to Kazdaele. As a prince, I have the obligation to do this for my people." Ivan took a deep breath and said.

Shaking his head, Li Sheng just sighed silently and did not answer his question, but he also did not refuse.

Although Ivan is a prince, in the final analysis he is just a precocious child who is over twelve years old.

He was like a flower cultivated in a greenhouse, noble and beautiful, but he had never seen the severe cold current in the northern snowfields. In his eyes now, being sent to mine seemed to be a great disaster.

Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that even if these people escaped pursuit, it would be extremely difficult for them to survive the approaching winter. Hunting alone was far from being able to feed such a large population.

"Then go and take the tax collectors and the refugees with you."

The journey was slow, because although all the wounded had been healed by Violet, the lack of physical nutrition could not be made up for by magic.

Ivan did not return to the carriage, but instead walked among the civilians, asking questions that were not in the books from time to time, most of which were about the livelihood of the civilians.

The team stopped and went, but fortunately they arrived at the baron's manor before dark.

Ivan asked the tax collector on the side to go up and report, which also gave him some time to prepare.

After a while, a fat guy ran out of the manor. The bulging fat around his waist made it difficult to believe that his ancestors were once military nobles.

"Hahaha~ It turns out to be His Highness the Prince. I am really honored to have His Highness here. However, it is so late and His Highness must be very tired after walking all the way. Why don't I arrange His Highness first? Is there anything I can arrange tomorrow?"

The other party came to him with a haha, and his face was full of flattery and welcome, so Ivan didn't know how to start the topic.

"I'm not here to stay. I'm here to ask for an explanation. Tell me, what happened to these people who were forcibly arrested by the tax collectors?" Ivan said, pointing to the civilians behind him.

"Ah? So that's what it is? They can't pay the taxes, so they naturally want to bring them into the mine to open the mine to offset the tax." The baron said nonchalantly, as if opening the mine was a favor to them.

"But why do I seem to remember that Ursus law stipulates that local harvest shortages caused by natural disasters do not need to pay taxes. How come you have to open mines to deduct taxes?"

Ivan brought out the laws of Ursus and started to question the other party, but found that the other party seemed to be more confident.

Seeing Ivan's expression as if you won't be able to live well until you give me an explanation, the Baron was filled with boredom and helplessness.

He really hated role-playing with the prince in which the gods defeated Sakaz, as if he was some inhumane demon.

"Your Highness, let me tell you the truth. These minerals are not my request. These are the requirements of the Grand Dukes. I have no choice but to do this in order to complete the target.

And in order to prevent being targeted by the Grand Duke for not being able to complete production, I even terminated the mineral resource agreement in the violet collar.

If you have the ability, just go to the Grand Duke and make your request to change Ursus. If you want to use your status to oppress a baron like me, then I don't care. My family is probably only of my generation anyway.

If you are happy, you can let me go. If you are unhappy, you can kill me. Anyway, you are the prince and you don’t need to be charged if you want to kill me. It just so happens that I have lived a stable life for most of my life. Compared with ordinary people, death is worth it. . "

After saying that, he ignored Ivan's thoughts and turned directly back to his manor.

Ever since his father lost his voice in the military, the family was doomed to decline, so his father specifically warned him of this before his death.

If you can revive your family, revive it. If it doesn't work, just live a peaceful life. As for future generations, it's best not to keep them. With the dirty politics among Ursus nobles, if he dies, his children will be fine. Not far away.

Looking at the baron disappearing in the distance, Ivan felt frustrated for the first time, and his breathing became choked.

At some point, Li Sheng came up behind him quietly and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"He...how dare he be so rude..."

With tears in his eyes, Ivan wiped his tears with his sleeves, turned around and looked at Li Sheng to ask.

"It's just a helpless move. He just wants to live a good life."

The spiritual energy swept across the manor in front of him, and Li Sheng said with some regret: "It's still what he said just now, if you have the ability, go and change Ursus, change those big nobles, instead of relying on the status of the prince. Prestige brings blessings.”

Poverty, he simply couldn't believe what he just saw. The manor in front of him, which was almost an empty shell, was actually the home of a noble baron. He didn't even live as well as some wealthy businessmen in Thorn City.

"……I see."

Ivan's mood was obviously much lower. He raised his head and looked at the civilians behind the beast of burden cart, and he couldn't help but ask: "What about these civilians? In the coming cold winter, they won't survive long at all... …”

"Do you want to help them?" Li Sheng asked with interest.

"I promised to give them justice. Although I can't give them justice now, I will at least let them survive and survive this winter."

"Then let's exchange it with one request." Li Sheng also turned to look at the refugees and said.

"One...request?" Ivan was a little confused.

"I will help you survive this winter. When you become the emperor of Ursus in the future, you will need to help me complete something unconditionally, something that is not yet clear but will not be harmful to Ursus. "Li Sheng said.

This was a deal that seemed unfair to both him and Ivan.

"Okay." Ivan thought for a while and agreed.

"Then I pray that you can become the iron-blooded ruler of Ursus in the future, otherwise my help this time will seem a bit too devalued." Li Sheng pinched the bear ears on his head and joked.

"It will definitely not depreciate." Ivan said with certainty as he watched Li Sheng lead the refugees away.

When the refugees were out of sight, the only ones left were the tax collectors in front of them and the nobleman in the room.

Brausco, who was left behind by Li Sheng, took the sword from his back, but put it back on his back the next second.

Violet came out of the carriage. She had just received a psychic communication from Li Sheng, asking her to help Ivan judge the tax collector and the noble of the team.

"Grand Duke." When Ivan saw the teacher's wife coming out, he turned around and nodded in greeting.

"Yeah." He nodded as a response to Ivan.

Arriving next to him, Violet looked at the people in front of her and said to Ivan beside her: "Li Sheng asked me to come over and help judge their crimes."

"Then I'll trouble the Grand Duke."

As soon as Ivan finished speaking, while standing a few meters away, the surging spiritual energy penetrated directly into the souls of several people, and the impressive memories of the past were nakedly presented in front of everyone by spiritual energy.

There are things that help others, there are also things that are sneaky, and there are even some unappetizing 18+ content. But fortunately, except for a dozen or so memories that make people feel stomach-churning, most of the other tax collectors are quite normal.

At this time, Violet probably understood the reason why Li Sheng asked her to help Ivan in the trial.

Sinful people must not be tolerated. After waving to Brausco to deal with the guy who deserved death, Violet left the remaining tax collectors to Ivan, while she stood quietly beside the carriage. Waiting for Li Sheng to come back.

"Since your crime is not serious, repent in your heart. You will not be so lucky next time."

Most of the people in front of her were just doing some sneaky things, and the crime would not lead to death, so Violet did not kill them, and Ivan simply stopped dealing with them, hoping that they would make changes after this incident.

Finally, Ivan took Brausco to the baron's study. The fat baron was reading a novel he didn't know where with gusto.

It's really hard for him to continue reading novels at this time.

"Come on, I'm ready." Putting down the novel, the baron closed his eyes and waited for the destined leader.

After waiting for a moment and seeing no movement from the other party, the baron tentatively opened his eyes, only to see Ivan looking at him while holding the novel he had just read.

This made him not know what to do for a moment, so he just sat there.

"An old novel about a knight defeating a demon and marrying a princess." Closing the book, Ivan looked at the baron in front of him.

After a moment, he said: "Try to live. If you can live long enough, then I will let you see a powerful Ursus, a prosperous Ursus."

Putting down the book, Ivan turned around and left. He originally wanted to kill the other person, but when he saw the other person quietly waiting for death, he didn't want to kill him anymore.

As the baron said, if you have the ability, change Ursus and the big nobles, instead of relying on your status as a prince to dominate.
