Don't call me evil god

Chapter 736 Tradition is essential
What is the first thing an outsider should do when he arrives in Dawn City for the first time?
Answer: Get an ID card.

Although there are now more convenient illusion magic, the tradition of physical identity proof has been continued.

Especially for those who are new here.

He came up with a fanatical look, pulling the other party to preach, asking the other party to offer his faith to the goddess of illusion, Resti.

This scene is scary just thinking about it.

In comparison.

Proof of identity is a good transitional medium.

With it, one can move freely in Dawn City and the territories developed by various knowledge-seeking churches.

Once they truly experience life here, they will soon offer their faith from the bottom of their hearts.

At least within the City of Dawn, Nowen's followers no longer need to actively preach to others.

Those who are willing to come here are full of yearning and expectation for the Church of Knowledge.

They have heard many legends and miracles about the god of knowledge, Nowen, through various channels.

……

Karl von Braun was such a person.

When he walked out of the carriage carrying a heavy bag, the biting cold wind blowing in his face made him shiver.

The wind was cold, but it could not extinguish their burning expectations.

The trip took a lot of energy from him, his wife, his daughter, and his brother's family.

Two entire families staked their future on this migration.

They hope that Dawn City is really as beautiful as described in the rumors, and that they can really start a new life there.

Now they have successfully completed the first step!
Dawn City is right before our eyes!
Carl rubbed his palms together, exhaled a few quick breaths of hot air, and felt his heart pounding with excitement.

The fatigue from the journey and the sleepiness at night were temporarily forgotten in his excitement.

If Carl hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't imagine that such a magical city could be built on the border of the Kingdom of Reyak!

Yes, magical.

Carl racked his brains for a long time in his vocabulary, and finally felt that the only word to describe it was "magical".

The carriage stopped at an open space outside the city gate. The so-called city gate was actually just a gap left in the city wall frame in advance.

How to determine that this gap represents a city gate?

Very simple.

An arched light gate created by [Arcane Projection], more than ten meters high and emitting colorful light, stands there, making it difficult to ignore!

Although this light gate is just a projection and has no entity, it cannot serve as a barrier.

But being able to use magic to assist or even dominate the construction of cities was already a legendary existence in the border areas in the past!

A magic of this scale meant that at least several noble wizards had to be arranged to take turns casting magic in order to maintain the magic's effects uninterruptedly around the clock.

The cost of hiring a master wizard would be prohibitively high.

Another projection generated by magic was floating not far from Carl and the others. It was a standard “→” shape and was continuously emitting a comfortable green light.

Below is a line of Common words floating in the air:
"Registration of outsiders entering the city."

Not only that.

This magic projection is also a compound magic.

Because it is affected by the magical effect of [Proficiency in Languages].

Even an illiterate person can easily understand the meaning of this instruction.

It was clear and easy to understand. Carl couldn't wait to greet his family.

"let's go!"

The scene he saw at the "city gate" alone made Carl even more excited.

This city seemed even more magical and mysterious than the rumors he had heard!
Because it was already night, the line at the city registration office was not long and moved quickly.

It wasn't long before Carl and his family arrived in front of the registrar.

With the previous experience of registering in Ceylon City, Carl was not as nervous as when they entered the city in Nochima Territory and Kalezi Territory.

In the border area, it used to be quite troublesome for an outsider to enter a city that was unfamiliar to him.

Providing various personal information is just the basis;

The most important thing is that all outsiders who intend to enter the city must wait outside the city for at least one day and at most several days after registering, until the priests of the Church of the Glowing God come to check and confirm that the outsiders who intend to enter the city in the next few days are "safe" enough, and the city will open its doors to them.

If the inspection fails, you will be in big trouble.

They will be taken away en masse for questioning until the source of the danger is discovered.

It's fine when the weather is warm.

In the cold winter season, the waiting time is quite difficult.

Carl and his two families could only rent a narrow compartment in a shabby shack built by others outside the city to survive these difficult days, praying that everything went well during the inspection so that they could enter the city and rent a carriage to the next city, or ask for a ride from a caravan going the same way.

It's different in Ceylon.

There is no longer any inspection and review process by the Church of Light.

By simply completing a simple information record, outsiders can enter the city immediately.

Although Carl didn't know why such a change happened.

But he knew that he no longer had to worry and wait anxiously every time he applied to enter the city like he did in Nochima Territory.

Carl was even more surprised by Dawn City’s attitude towards outsiders!

After providing his name, age, occupation he is good at and other information, Carl and his family quickly received their own identity documents.

Then, the registrar told Carl that as outsiders arriving in Dawn City for the first time, they had a gift from the god of knowledge, Nowen.

"Ah? Give it to us?"

It was the first time that Carl heard that there would be a city willing to give gifts to every outsider who came here!
In the Marquis of Nochima's territory, the largest city is Lorraine. If you don't have a residence in the city, you even need to pay a city entry tax if you want to enter the city.

There was a polar reversal in Dawn City!
Not only do they not have to hand over a single copper coin, they will even give things to outsiders for free!
And such good things? !
Carl couldn't believe his ears and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

What the other party meant should be "they need to prepare a gift to the god of knowledge, Nowen", right?

The registrar smiled and repeated: "You heard it right, it's for you."

As he spoke, he turned sideways and opened the storage box stacked next to him.

White hot steam billowed out.

A large piece of toast simply wrapped in clean white paper was handed to Karl von Braun.

"Welcome to the City of Dawn."

"The great Noven has given us an endless supply of delicious food, so believers should share this blessing with others and spread the gospel of the Lord."

“This is our tradition.”

Carl was stunned.
