The Urban Dao Child.

Chapter 401 - Reactions.

Yang Dao did not bother with anything around him and after making some changes in the social system of the region, he came back to meditate in the garden. The flame palace had an enriched garden. The color of the flowers was still inclined towards red or vermillion but it looked very soothing to Yang Dao as he sat under a pavilion. 

Society was driven by strength in this region. Yang Dao changed that altogether. It was not that the place was anarchic but the people with strength could get away with their mistakes without paying the price. This was not good. If this continued one day the strong people will be driving the rest of the people into slavery. He did not wish to see that, because, now that the arrogance is gone, the barrier that stopped people from protesting against tyrants was gone. 

Since he changed the perception these people had in emotions, the civil war was even closer, and perceiving the threat the boy issued a few changes. The laws were made and issued and the people all found them to be fair for all of them. They passed the credit to Yang Dao but actually, the move was made by his minister Feng Yun. 

The lady has been reading the books for two days and she had already decided what sort of changes must be done in the region to make the people live better. Education and Health were both made a free service, they did not have the concept of money here. They were to earn one rubika crystal per ten patients the doctors treat and the teachers will be given twenty rubika crystals. 

The region did have a government, that was the strong people were responsible for over seeking a lot of stuff. So, Feng Yun made the society a feudal system, where the strong men will report to the flame palace about everything they do. They will collect taxes and then the taxes will be circulated within the people as wages. 

The complex system was easy to handle and if any strong man is found to be embezzling any resources, they will be tagged as the scourge of the region and exiled. No matter how strong they were, they will not be able to resist the masses. Also, the other strong people will not hold back. Strength was a toxic thing, it makes one selfish. 

Feng Yun kept all this in mind when she came up with the social system. The lady was very smart to have come up with all this. She played the role of the minister perfectly. 

...

Amber flew over the regions, she did not meet any strong beasts on the way. The first stop was made to the northern region. The earth elementals used to live in the mountains. Amber could sense the source energy radiated from the places where the elementalists lived. It was like a radar she was equipped with. 

She located the earth region inside a valley in the mountains. The people in the valley had long noticed her presence in the sky, after all, how can they ignore the second sun in the sky. However, they did not react much to it and carried on with their tasks. 

Amber snorted and if not for the orders to not initiate an attack, she would have burned them to crisps. She dived down from the sky and landed in front of the biggest house in the center of the region. She said, "Earth Lord, I come here to deliver you the message from my master, the king of flames. You are now challenged for the throne. The battle will be held on the eternal battlefield two weeks from now. If you decline to fight, the king of flames will charge at your city with all the fire region strong force." 

A hoarse voice sounded from the inside of the house, "Your master does not know that he can only fight with the same element when it comes to the challenge of the throne? Also, you have stated what will happen if I lost or did not agree, what about if your master lost?" his tone was calm and steady.

Amber said, "My master is aware of this. He can control all the elements. Also, if he lost the duel, he will give up the throne as the king of flames and you can rule the people of the fire region as you wish. What is your answer?" she was calm as well. 

However, her words did make the Earth Lord surprised. The man thought for a bit and after weighing the gains and the loss he said, "I accept." 

Amber said, "Good luck to you, farewell." and with a flap of her wings she flew into the sky. Her next destination was the western wind region. The reaction to her appearance was opposite to what the earth region had. She was annoyed by some much hubbub. One little boy came close to her with his finger rolling inside his nostrils. 

Amber could swear that she would have puked if she was a human being. She issued the challenge, the wizard of the wind accepted it with gusto and Amber flew away. She realized that the elemental properties of wind and earth were completely different, and it was monotonously contrasting. 

She turned in her direction and came to the water region. The water region was settled on an island. The people looked up in the sky and immediately took up arms. Amber had to state that she was not here with hostile intentions and only then was she allowed to set her talons on the land. 

The contrast between fire and water was that unlike the fire region soldiers, who were trigger happy, they were cautious and only took up arms to defend themselves. After Amber stated her purpose the Lord of the region engaged in a discussion with her. Amber was not a normal beast, her spiritual intelligence was even higher than normal humans so she could keep up with this person with ease. 

After a couple of hours, the water region accepted the challenge and Amber set off back to Yang Dao's side. She had completed the task within two days. Now it was all left for Yang Dao to deal with these people.

When Yang Dao was told of how the people of the fire region accepted the laws, and the successful challenge acceptance of the other lords. He was calm but his eyes were looking forward to the duel.. The reactions from all sides were in line with his action and his future plans.
