Norra was startled and said, "Why? You mean you're worried those women will harm your domain?"
Hikaru shook his head: "No, those women in my eyes are the same as everyone else, there's no difference."
"However, you are the one I am worried about. You know how to draft legal documents, which proves that you were probably a lawyer or a policeman, right?"
Norra made no secret of this, she nodded and said: "I am a police officer."
She also didn't ask why Hikaru knew the occupations on Earth because Norra thought that Hikaru was just a System NPC and knew a lot about them.
Hikaru continued: "So… you also know how dangerous it is to let a complete stranger participate in administrative activities or activities of a political nature, right?"
"But I won't do that." Norra hastily explained: "I was just trying to talk to you, I would help you draft the rules for this territory, meanwhile you would help me arrange a place for the other players to live."
"Norra..." Hikaru's voice suddenly turned cold: "If everyone did what they said, the world wouldn't have pain and deceit."
"Even if you're telling the truth, I can't trust you. You are a police officer, you also understand that to trust a person it is necessary to have clear evidence and witnesses."
Norra could only sigh as she listened to Hikaru. She really didn't know what to do to make Hikaru trust her.
Norra asked, "So… what do I have to do to make you trust me?"
Hikaru shrugged and said, "I don't know, it depends on your opinion. I wonder if you have any value to me."
Norra frowned thoughtfully, and after a while she said, "May I ask a few questions?"
"Okay!" Hikaru shrugged, not looking too concerned.
Norra asked: "Is there a policeman in your territory? I mean… a policing team, their job is to govern the order of the territory."
"This place has a policing team, however, their main job right now is to make sure that there aren't any contradictions or conflicts appearing inside the territory." Hikaru replied.
"So that means there is no policing department, and that everything is under your direction, right?"
Hikaru nodded.
Norra smiled and said, "So… I can help you form a policing department and manage it. I can work for you for 10 years without your pay."
Hikaru found it very funny, he said: "Your idea is really great. Yes, I am lacking a good policing department, however, Norra, you should remember that I have the power to decide, not you."
Norra was a little embarrassed hearing that.
Hikaru continued, "Norra, I will give you a chance. For now you will become the captain of the policing team, in the coming time, your task is to form and manage a policing department."
"The police force's personnel, I'll bring them later, you don't have to worry about their strength."
"Of course I will still pay you, but what I need is for you to manage the women you bring inside the territory including providing them with food."
When Norra heard that, she said happily: "Okay. I promise I won't let you down."
Hikaru reached out his hand, and a small sphere appeared and hovered over his palm.
"This is a ball of energy created by me, after entering your body, it will not harm you, on the contrary, when you are weak or exhausted, it will provide you with energy. "
"However, I am the one controlling it. If you betray me, it will explode, and you will surely die, do you understand."
Norra saw the small black ball the size of a marble floating in Hikaru's hand and shivered, feeling a little scared.
Hikaru continued, "Swallow it, I'll trust you."
Norra frowned and said, "What if I don't swallow it?"
That's right, Norra didn't want to be controlled by others. She was a cop anyway, so she had her arrogance.
Hikaru smiled and said, "Then you can leave. You should remember, opportunity only comes once, if you don't seize it, and let it go, then there won't be any other chance."
Norra listened to Hikaru's words, and thought of Tyne and the women waiting for her.
She also thought about the girls that were being raped by male players and treated like slaves and animals, which made her feel angry.
If she leaves this place, then she wouldn't have anything, and this trip would be useless.
Moreover, Norra had also run out of food, and her Misty Lamp had also run out of energy. Now, due to her current circumstances she did not know if she could still return to Tune and the others.
"I don't want to wait long, Norra, you have ten seconds to decide." Hikaru's voice was filled with impatience.
Norra was startled when she heard that, she hurriedly said, "But how long will I work for you?"
Hikaru shrugged: "About 10 years, then you'll be free. Don't worry, your life spans have greatly increased compared to before."
"Perhaps your lifespan has reached over 300 years now, so 10 years is just a short time."
Norra was a bit surprised to hear that, this was her first time hearing this information. Does that mean the higher a person's stats, the longer the lifespan?
That seemed to make a lot of sense.
So… 10 years was not too long. Besides, she didn't have any plans for the next 10 years.
This was Misty World anyway, and Norra didn't know when she would be able to return to Earth. Besides, she didn't have her own territory anymore, and it was not a good thing to continuously wander outside.
Now, the Void Lord offered her a safe place to live, good food, a warm bed, and a job she used to do on Earth, so she of course had no reason to refuse.
Norra nodded, and slowly walked towards Hikaru, she took the orb in his hand and looked at it. Then, she closed her eyes and swallowed the whole sphere.
After the black energy ball entered Norra's mouth, it disappeared as if it had never existed. However, she knew the orb existed in her body.
As long as Hikaru wanted it, it would explode like a boom.
Although Norra felt a bit worried and scared, she believed that if she didn't betray Hikaru, Hikaru wouldn't be able to kill her.
"I hope you can keep your promise." Norra said.
Hikaru nodded, "Of course. But right now I can't allow the soldiers to save the people you talked about."
"You..."
Hikaru immediately interrupted Norra's words: "Wait! I haven't finished speaking, I can provide food for you to pass on to those people for the next 3 days. After 3 days, I will let my army go and save them."
Norra nodded, she felt that what Hikaru said was reasonable. After all, to save other people preparation was required, especially in a world shrouded in fog like this.
Suddenly, Norra remembered something and said, "Excuse me, can you use the system's food?"
Hearing that, Hikaru frowned in confusion, "Why?"
"Because the food of this world cannot be placed in the system space, so it cannot be traded."
Hearing Norra's words, Hikaru suddenly realized something. He smiled and said, "Okay, I will give you a few bags of food and energy to maintain the Misty Lamp. Later, Shala will bring it to you."
"Yes, thank you lord."
Hikaru continued, "Besides, you can choose a location in the main residential area and a location in an unofficial residential area to build a headquarters for the policing team."
"Shala, you should also temporarily put aside your current job and go support Norra."
"Yes, master." Shala bowed her head and respectfully replied.
After Norra and Shala left, Hikaru rubbed his chin, he found what Norra had just said extremely strange.
He looked at the table in front of him, and tried to put the table into the system's space pocket.
Suddenly, a bulletin board appeared in front of him.
[Ding! Items of this world cannot be placed in the System's space pocket.]
Seeing this, Hikaru kept experimenting, and as a result, he realized that items belonging to this world could not be placed in the System's space pocket.
However, if the items of this world were processed or modified by the players, they could be placed in the system's space pocket.
For example, Hikaru could not put the ingredients of an energy potion into the system's space pocket because it belonged to this world.
However, if he turned those ingredients into energy potions using his own abilities or skills, the generated energy potion could be placed in the system's space pocket.
This may seem inconvenient, but for Hikaru it was a very good thing.
However, Hikaru put this aside for now, as he had other things to do.
…
In an open field about 500 meters from Hikaru's territory. This place was where Hikaru asked Darnag to build for the army to operate.
The outside was surrounded by a wall made of the giant vine of the Ivern tree. Although this place was more than 500 meters away from Hikaru's territory, the Ivern tree could still reach this place and help build a wall.
This area was very large, about more than 10,000 square meters. There were also many Misty Lamps that were hanging on the wall, inside this area there was also a row of houses.
Along the wall there were guard posts created by the vines of the Ivern tree, it was extremely sturdy, and even bullets could not penetrate it.
Inside the military area, a group of 21 Harpies was standing outside the houses, with a slightly worried expression.
Hikaru suddenly appeared, this time, he was wearing a sports suit with a black coat like a normal person rather than a lord.
The Harpies of course knew that the person who came was their master, so they immediately knelt on the ground, respectfully saluting: "Master!"
Hikaru nodded and said, "Stand up."
"I think you also know the current situation yourself. In this foggy world, you are completely useless."
Hearing Hikaru's words, the Harpy's group including Harprite also lowered their heads, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"However, I can give you a chance to become one of the strongest armies in this world, the air force."
