Chapter 27: I can make them vigers without their consent?
Make the bandits?
The guides advice this time was so incredulous, I unconsciously repeated what it said.
I had been offering refugees the option of bing a viger, but this was apletely different matter. These were bandits, for crying out loud. They had done various crimes, and are thus a danger to the other vigers.
<<Making them vigers is only for the benefit of your Gift. You do not have to treat them the same as the other vigers.>>
Oh, okay.
<<After making them vigers, please consider making them stay at a rehabilitation facility. If done so, they can be part of the vige normally.>>
<em>Oh yeah, I became able to build that facility, huh.</em>
<<Of course, that would be only for those who haventmitted any serious crimes. For those that did, execution might be a good punishment.>>
The guide said so, but we were just a small vige. There was no way we could hold a trial for each and every bandit.
Because their group did crimes all over various ces, we could just send them to a lord of a territory and have that lord pass judgement on them.
However, due to the times we lived in now, banditry had be somonce that I feared that their group would either be executed without any trial at all or be released after some kind of deal.
<<If by chance their rehabilitation is unsessful, you have the option to banish them or turn them into ves. By the way, you can assess the state of their rehabilitation through the Vige Bond Level line of Viger Appraisal.>>
Hmm, I see
I still had various concerns, but for now, I decided to make them vigers as the guide advised.
Wait, can I make them a viger even without their consent?
<<If an individual has spent a certain amount of time in the vige, its possible to make them a viger unterally.
Eh? So, I can make even those just passing by into vigers if I make them stay long enough first? That seems kinda frightening
<<You can do that, but also keep in mind that if a vigers Vige Bond Level is low and theyve spent a certain amount of time outside of the vige, theyd automatically cease being a viger.>>
I see. That bnces things, I guess.
<<And so, do you want to make the bandits your vigers?>>
I decided to agree.
<<The 43 people represented by Baron are now vigers.>>
<< Ta-ta-ta-dah! Congrattions! Because you now have more than 300 vigers, your vige has be level 5!>>
<<500 vige points have been acquired as level up bonus.>>
<<You can now build more kinds of facilities.>>
<<Maximum vige area has been increased.>>
<<The vige skill [Facility Customization] has been acquired.>>
Oh, another level up. Hmm, Facility Customization?
<<As its name suggests, it allows you to customize facilities to your liking.>>
Facilities have always been built with the same design or structure. For example, earthen walls had the same height and length each time I built one, so there was nothing I could do if I wanted a wall just a tiny bit higher.
Through this skill though, I should be able to adjust those parameters, maybe even bend them and change their colors.
Hoh, in that case, a single earthen wall will be enough to surround my vige, right? I mean, Ill just extend it as much as I have to.
<<Depending on the type of customization, some vige points might be required.>>
Oh, I see
I examined it a bit more thoroughly.<ul><li>When altering the shape of a facility, no vige point is required.</li><li>When removing something from a facility, no vige point is required.</li><li>When changing the colors of a facility, no vige point is required.</li><li>When adding something into a facility, some vige points are required.</li></ul>
I see. That makes more sense.
If changed the location of a bathroom in a house or remove it entirely, I wouldnt need to pay points. But if wanted to have two, it seemed points were necessary.
I decided to look at the finer detailster, and instead try the vige skill out for the moment.
<em>Oh, before that, I better build that rehabilitation facility first. </em>
Rehabilitating all bandits at once seemed too much, so I decided to only do so 5 at a time, starting with those who seemed to be less problematic.
Ehehehee, why dont you leave this to me? Ill make honest citizens out of these brats soon enoughEhehehee

The one to nominate herself as the disciplinarian was the eldest person in the vige.
The bandits winced upon hearing grannys words<em>will they be alright?</em>
