Don't call me evil god

Chapter 740 Now, Norman is here

The establishment of Dawn City was initially just a simple idea of ​​the believers.

But once it was actually built, Novan's presence had a huge impact on the operation of the city.

The help that Novan provides to believers is more than just strength.

Faith becomes a constraint at the right time.

When mortals receive his blessing, Nowen can use rewards and punishments to guide them toward good or evil.

The simplest "reward and punishment" mechanism is a change in numerical values.

Do things that contribute to the better development of the city, complete the tasks assigned by Noven, and get various rewards;

If you try to disrupt the order of the city, you will be punished by Nowen by deducting destiny points or withdrawing blessings.

Not only believers who are blessed by Noven, but also those who work hard to accumulate contributions will be constrained by this mechanism in the same way.

The reason for Novan's involvement in the city's operations is simple.

Several months have passed, and Dawn City is now much larger than when it was first built during the disaster.

Ordinary people like the Carl family are constantly heading to this city.

Even though it is winter now, dozens or even hundreds of immigrants arrive every day.

After the monster red tide ends, if nothing unexpected happens, this number will increase further.

As the size of the city expands.

This is no longer the place where believers only needed a tavern to accommodate everyone and everyone could know what they wanted to do by just shouting.

Thanks to the efforts of Ray Wayne and the group of architects and designers he brought from Ceylon, when they designed the city, they considered what Dawn City would look like 200 years from now, and planned and constructed it at the present time based on the state of that time.

In short, the stall is very large.

No rules no standards.

A city, no matter how chaotic it is, will have its own operating logic.

Only by following this logic can people survive in the city.

If Nowen had not intervened, the believers would probably have had their own ideas based on their own strength.

This person wants the city to be free enough for anyone to do as they please;

That person felt that too much freedom was not good, as it would make this place a paradise for scammers;

Others believe that this city should be used as a "recruiting office" for the Church of Knowledge to expand its territory in the Dark Forest. A selection mechanism should be set up in this city to pick out outstanding talents and send them outside the border to eliminate monsters.

If the goals are different, the power will be dispersed and even conflicts will arise.

What Nowen needs to do is to completely determine the direction of development as a god.

……

What kind of city will Dawn City be?
It is easy to build a city prosperous or powerful.

Just pile the stuff in.

Cultivate more spellcasters and more believers, and let them continue to use magic and divine arts to promote the development of the city.

It is not difficult to make it equal and free.

As long as the requirements are unified for everyone and the threshold is lowered to an extremely low level, that will be enough.

The representative of a powerful and prosperous city is the royal capital Starosh.

This prosperity comes at a price.

That is the discrimination that the citizens of the capital have towards "outsiders", especially towards country bumpkins from the border like Pete and Gale.

The citizens of this city will have a strong sense of superiority because of the prosperity of the city, which makes them think highly of themselves.

During the trip to the royal capital, believers all had a distinct feeling.

They do not belong to this city and cannot integrate into it.

For outsiders, even if he spends a huge amount of money to buy his own property in the new city area of ​​the royal capital, he is still not considered a "local".

The families in the old city, who may have lived in the capital for hundreds of years, are the so-called locals of the capital. Norwen saw the changes that King Kenreddin was trying to make.

For example, promoting the construction and development of new urban areas, trying to attract more outsiders into the city and make them the new locals of the capital;

There was also the ennobling of nobility, which created a new group and forcibly gave them treatment and status with the power of the kingdom.

But these measures were not effective, especially the latter, which even had a counterproductive effect.

After the birth of the aristocratic group, they instead banded together to form a community of interests, advancing and retreating together, and were not hesitant to go against Kenreddin in order to safeguard their own interests.

As for the city of freedom and equality?
Greenport is free enough and equal enough.

Especially its downtown area.

The police and courts are ineffective.

A place where one can even get away with murder is almost like a place with no rules. It is indeed an extremely free city.

What's the cost?

High crime rate.

Gangs are rampant.

There are endless unscrupulous workshops, scammers, thieves and robbers.

Anyone who arrives in Greenport can easily integrate into the city and quickly become one with the original citizens of the city in a physical sense.

When the environment is so free, the rules of the gangs have become the urban order on which ordinary people depend for survival.

For example, by paying protection fees to gangs regularly, one can ensure that one's life will not be harassed by other gangs, and one can even seek help from gang members when encountering difficulties.

As far as Noven knows.

After the Seeking Knowledge believers immigrated from Green Harbor, more than a dozen gangs of varying sizes have emerged there, including the Gold Tooth Society, the Willow Lane Gang, and the Black Market Chamber of Commerce, turning Green Harbor's lower city into a place of "war and chaos" once again, with the gangs busy fighting over territory.

This is the price of "freedom and equality" in that city.

Without the Blood Tooth Gang, there will be the Gold Tooth Gang, the Silver Tooth Gang, the Flat Teeth Gang, and the Buck Teeth Gang in the future.

Because the downtown area of ​​Green Harbor is a place with extremely lack of order.

The city manager, Carolan, doesn't mind the chaos in the downtown area; he cares about his own business.

The violent order pursued by the gangs will naturally become the circulation rules in the downtown area.

……

In addition to the Royal Capital and Green Port, there are also various cities such as Stone Fortress and Ceylon City. They all have their own characteristics and their own order.

No matter which city it is, the lives of every citizen living in it will undoubtedly be affected by these urban characteristics.

When he really had the opportunity to plan a city, the first idea that came to Novan's mind was actually just one word:
"happiness".

Yes.

In Nowen's opinion, various pursuits such as power, prosperity, equality, and freedom are not as important as the word "happiness".

Whether before coming to this world or after coming to this world.

Nowen has seen too many struggles and sufferings of ordinary people.

They are fragile.

They are ordinary.

But they are tenacious.

Whether it is the mafia, monsters, churches or nobles, nothing can destroy their hope for a happy life.

Before this, their abilities were limited and happiness could only exist in their fantasies.

just now.

Novan is here.
