Don't call me evil god

Chapter 414: Subtle Changes in Order

After leaving the other party's contact information, Lancelot was still a little confused.

He originally just wanted to take part in a boxing match, but he was told that he had the opportunity to be blessed by the God of Knowledge?

Did the pie in the sky fall on his head?
Lancelot recovered a little bit under the effect of [Secondary Treatment] and regained his ability to move.

He spent most of the afternoon at the preliminary arena, watching the dozen or so challengers who came in and tried to challenge the Level 2 fighter who was defending the ring.

There are still very few people who can last for 5 minutes.

Most of the people challenged by Lancelot were knocked to the ground within 1 minute.

The only one who lasted the full 5 minutes was in an extremely awkward position at the end. He was completely unable to defend against the defender's continuous attacks. He could only raise his fists in front of his head and passively take the beating.

If it were a regular boxing match, with such a one-sided situation, the losing side would quickly be knocked unconscious or killed.

But Lancelot now also saw some clues.

After experiencing the opponent's attack firsthand, Lancelot discovered the secret of this preliminary match.

The defender's attack pattern is not a normal way to win.

Otherwise, when your opponent is unable to block, just punch at his weak spot.

This attack is more like a test.

Test the challenger's combat proficiency.

Or you can be like Lancelot, gradually adapt to the opponent's attack rhythm, find the rules from it, and use your extraordinary combat intuition to complete the parry.

Or find another way to pass the level.

That means being beaten.

The ability to withstand blows is strong enough, and one can get through the test even if he is beaten for 5 minutes without falling down.

Lancelot had a premonition.

This match is more like a preliminary championship match.

It's more like screening out those who are strong, resistant and resilient!
……

As the sun set, the sunlight began to emit warm yellow afterglow, and the dawn city area of ​​Chim Town began to become more and more lively.

It is worth mentioning that.

Originally, there were no real "officials" in a town of the size of Qim Town.

It is said that the original town of Chim was a relatively flat wilderness with an unnamed river next to it, which was a tributary of the Nilan River that ran across the Kingdom of Reyak from east to west.

Starting from a conventional trading market, it gradually gained popularity and thus a small town was formed.

As for why it is called Chim Town.

It mainly comes from a strange plant called the Chim tree that grows near the town of Chim.

If you cut the bark, it will ooze out a thick, milky sap.

After leaving the Chim tree, the sap will become extremely hard after being dried for a period of time, but it will soften again and become liquid when exposed to high temperatures.

Some magical rituals use heated Chim tree sap, so growing Chim trees is also a local industry.

In the past, the kingdom's officials would only come to Chim Town for two reasons.

Recruiting soldiers and collecting taxes.

The timings for both are very fixed.

Recruiting soldiers once a year.

Taxes were levied twice a year, one of which was the same time as conscription.

The first was the normal collection of head tax, commercial tax and agricultural tax.

There is also a type of tax called war tax, which will be levied when recruiting soldiers and used to cover the expenses of the king's army in resisting the monster red tide attacks.

The recruits were also incorporated into the King's Army.

They usually don't go directly to the battlefield, but basically do some logistical work.

Due to the lack of officials, not only in Chim Town, but in most towns, there is no clear order or regulations, and the laws of the kingdom lack the manpower to enforce them.

When encountering disputes, most people would ask the local nobles to make a ruling, or simply ask the nobles to make some rules that everyone would follow by default.

Baron Chinar once did something similar.

The rules he set for Chim Town were also simple.

It is basically based on the laws of the Kingdom, and crimes such as murder, robbery, theft, fighting, and fraud all follow the provisions of the law.

Those who deserve to be fined will be fined, those who deserve to be whipped will be whipped, those who deserve to be detained will be detained, and those who deserve to be hanged will be hanged.

As for more serious punishments, such as detention and hanging, Chim Town did not have the conditions to implement them, so the people were sent to Ceylon City, where they narrated the events in front of the official, and then the punishment was carried out in Ceylon City.

Although the local nobles possess considerable power, they can control the trinity of legislation, judiciary and law enforcement.

But in most cases, noble lords would not go too far for the sake of their own reputation.

There was once a nobleman who, for his own selfish desires, set a lot of strict and excessive rules, such as he could have priority in enjoying the virginity of all the girls in the town.

Then his reputation was completely ruined.

All the residents of the town also fled.

A small town declined as a result.

Ordinary people in this world have no reason to rely on the nobles in their daily lives. They are exploited too much. Although they cannot resist, they can run away to other places and start a new life.

On the contrary, the nobles could not escape, especially the manor nobles.

Because when they swore allegiance to the king, the location of the manor was designated.

They only have the right to use this manor, not the right to own it.

A delicate balance was thus formed between the nobility and the common people.

However, this delicate balance has changed in the town of Chim.

Because the Church of Knowledge is spreading.

They are spreading the changes brought about by Novan.

……

After a day of hard work, it is basically time for people to get off work.

The regulations on working hours come from the Church of Knowledge.

To be precise, they should be the tasks and tasks in the Qim Town expansion series released by the Church of Knowledge.

Building city walls, constructing houses, reclaiming farmland, raising livestock, and various new industries and workshops.

These tasks can only be rewarded after meeting the requirements.

This requirement has become the default working hours for people.

There are more and more pedestrians on the road.

Although the attire is different, there is one thing that is consistent.

Everyone's face was filled with anticipation.

Almost everyone was discussing enthusiastically about the celebration.

"Have you heard? There will be free food at tonight's celebration. You can eat as much as you want as long as you can eat it!"

"Your news is out of date!"

"Not only is there free food, but beer is also free! I saw someone reveal this on the Sanctuary of Truth!"

"Tonight only, unlimited beer!"

"Huh!" Some people who were not well-informed were shocked by this news: "Drink as you please? Where did the people from the Church of Seeking Knowledge get so much alcohol? Did they buy all the alcohol in Ceylon? Do they have so much money?!"

"Who knows? Maybe it's a miracle from the gods!"

"Anyway, I must drink to my heart's content!"

"Anyway, praise Nowen!"
