Chapter 520 You are not playing me, are you?

While Yang Yiyi was dealing with the water element, Viola seemed to be much more relaxed at the same time.

After taking over the Silver City, Viola actually had the conditions to restore her country, but she neither sent troops to chase the defeated Enwei Demon Kingdom army nor cleared out the remaining four-nation coalition forces on her own territory, nor was she in a hurry to become king.

During this period, Viola has been doing administrative work, so busy that she broke several quills.

After the war, there is the aftermath, rewards and punishments, and the nobles who surrendered in the city. They also have to pay attention to cleaning up, and they have to find a way to get the government that killed too many officials back on track.

The administrative work alone is too busy, and there are more headaches for Viola.

The Avarus Demon Kingdom is a feudal country. In addition to the direct jurisdiction of the Demon King and several cities directly managed by the palace, most of the territories are divided among the noble lords.

Compared with centralization, this approach is indeed easier to reassure people, and the Avarus Demon Kingdom has been conquered for so long and has never surrendered, which is inseparable from the tenacious resistance of these lords.

But the problem is that all the lords want to take more and more, and the intensity of party struggles is not much better than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of their merits in supporting the throne, the nobles who followed Viola into the Silver City began to be dishonest and tried to expand their power at a time when everything was in ruins.

During this period, Viola had to take time out to talk to the nobles, understand their demands, and balance the relationship between them. To be honest, this was much more tiring than administrative work.

Viola was born in the palace. Even if she didn't want to know these things, she should understand them by osmosis, but understanding doesn't mean she is willing to do it.

She formed the Guards Knights to avoid getting involved in political exchanges and to prevent the nobles in the country from targeting her.

- Of course, it was also to avoid wearing high heels at the ball.

But at that time, she was a princess, with her father and brother around, so it didn't matter if she had more freedom. Now the situation is different, she is the only direct descendant of Avarus.

Theoretically, Orde also has the right of inheritance. If she is reliable, it is not impossible for Viola to push Orde to be the Demon King.

But look, is Orde reliable?

If she becomes the Demon King, I am afraid she will not think about handling government affairs for more than ten years. The few times she goes back to see the ministers, she must ask the treasury for money to meet her research expenses...

There is no other way, Viola can only take it all.

Although it is troublesome, there is still some good news.

Li Chengxi has been paying more attention to Yang Yiyi recently. He didn't notice that since Viola entered the Silver City, the number of gold coins has been increasing rapidly.

And Viola also plans to send troops after dealing with domestic problems. Not to mention fighting all the four countries that invaded Avarus, at least they have to spit out a large amount of war compensation.

After all, Avarus is now seriously injured. If we don't take advantage of the four countries' lack of time to ask for money to rebuild, there will be no chance later.

Gold coins will no longer be a big problem, and since the Silver City was once breached, some people fled, some were killed, and some surrendered nobles are now sealed by Viola.

After a few days of inventory, Viola managed to get a large piece of land that can be freely controlled in the center of the capital city where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

As for what to do with this piece of land...

Viola signed and stamped a document and handed the document to Zora who was waiting beside her:

"Send it to Kaimen City, and ask the architects who are working there to design a plan for the big temple according to the size of the land. There is no upper limit on the budget, and you can play it as you like. I only want the best."

Several months have passed, and the temple in Kaimen City has only been built for less than one-tenth, and the country has just met the conditions for restoration. Viola is about to build a bigger one.

If there is a cabinet to assist Viola in managing the country now, someone will definitely report "The wonders are ruining the country, Your Majesty".

But Zora is also a believer with full piety. He took the document ordered by Viola and planned to execute it without saying a word.

The original wooden wind temple in Leon territory is not going to be rebuilt. It represents the starting point and has a very important symbolic significance. Just maintain the status quo.

But the temple in the capital must be large, magnificent, and must be the kind of wonder of the world that can be seen at a glance. Construction funds? Don't talk to me about the cost, that's not important.

Viola believes that the belief in the Demon King God will spread. She wants to build the capital's big temple into the largest and best temple in the entire plane, so that believers from the entire plane can come to make pilgrimages.

Although it is a bit irrational, it is not completely unreasonable.

The major affairs of the country are sacrifice and war...

No matter how long it will take to repair this big temple, as long as Avarus exists, it will continue to be repaired until it is satisfied.

Before this, Viola had requisitioned some unused scattered shops or mansions of surrendered nobles to be used as temples for priests to preach. In just a few days, more than a dozen statues had been erected, shocking the civilians of the Silver City with the Demon King.

Zora hurriedly left the office with the documents, just in time with Alde who came in.

"Viola, I want to..."

"No, you don't want to."

Viola didn't even raise her head. As soon as she heard Alde's voice, she knew what she was going to do.

"If you have time, help me deal with those nobles. I'm almost too busy to eat, but you're just wandering around all day."

"But the Demon King's Ring is very important to the Lord."

"Of course I know the importance, but do you have accurate information? The Lord specifically told me not to rashly look for the Demon King's Ring."

"I am very sure..."

"But not sure."

"Well, it is indeed not sure."

There is very little information left from the mythological era, and it is extremely difficult to confirm the location of the Demon King's Ring. Aoerdai has been referring to ancient documents to find it, but it is always just a guess, without any accurate information.

The last time she took the initiative to go to the territory of the Tandron Demon Kingdom to find the Demon King's Ring was just a coincidence. She just happened to run into it, but it is impossible to have such good luck every time.

Now the four countries are in chaos, and the two Demon King's Rings in the guess are all in the territory of the four countries.

It would be fine to go there in peacetime, but if she goes there now, Aoerdai will become a hostage threatening Viola if she makes a mistake.

Viola raised her head slightly from the document, glanced at Aoerdai's face with almost no expression, and couldn't help but sigh.

After all, Viola knew her cousin's character very well. She was reluctant to say it too firmly, so she tried to compromise and said:

"What's the name of that intelligence dealer..."

"Theresa?"

"Yes, haven't you already entrusted her to investigate? If she has accurate information, I will support you in picking someone to get the Demon King's Ring."

"I knew you would say that. Coincidentally, Theresa is outside."

"..."

Was she playing me just now?

Viola was very suspicious.
