Arcane Lord

over the southern border.

Xia Duo and Pullman appeared out of nowhere, overlooking from a high altitude, the most striking thing is the [Great Xia-Saville Passage], which is almost like a main artery connecting the two territories in the north and the south.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, and this place has changed a lot!" Pullman couldn't help sighing when he fell from the sky.

Xia Duo also echoed a few words with deep sympathy. As a witness to all these changes, he knows more than Pullman. The changes in the north alone are not obvious, but the south is almost the same every day.

Especially the new village area from Codex Square to the north and distributed along the [Great Xia-Saville Passage], even now, if you don't pay attention, it may suddenly expand to the north for a while.

…

In order to observe more carefully from the air, the two descended very slowly. Of course, Pullman mainly decided on the speed, and Xia Duo just accompanied each other. At the same time, the two did not alarm anyone. It was regarded as a surprise inspection.

"Look at the Savile collar first!"

As Pullman said, he was already drifting in the direction of Savile Town, and Xia Duo followed behind without saying a word, and expressed his approval with actions. In fact, he also wanted to see how the promotion of the integration of the two places was going. What about!

When we arrived at the low-altitude area, we were actually in the supervision area of ​​the Floating Void City and the Mage Tower. Xia Duo did not keep silent this time, but quietly contacted the Tower of Time and Savile, and temporarily opened a spell-casting authority for Pullman.

However, Pullman didn't know what he did. The two first descended to the east side of the central square while maintaining a disguise, and then entered the trade area.

A lot of problems can be seen in the general territory and the trade area, not just whether it is prosperous or not. For example, the Perseus Territory that the two of them visited just now, although it looks very lively, the bustle itself also reveals chaos.

In Savile Territory, order has been deeply rooted in it. As soon as Xia Duo followed Pullman into the trade area, he saw a clearly marked sentry box and a security guard in a brightly colored orange uniform under the sentry box.

This is not available in any other territory.

There may also be guards in other territories to maintain order, but the guards are soldiers first, and then maintain order under the orders of the lord, and the means of maintaining order are often relying on violence.

But the security station and security officers set up by Xia Duo are different. Their full-time job is to maintain the long-term stability of social order, and the basis is not the verbal orders of the lord Mohu, but the statutory law that both law enforcement officers and ordinary people can clearly define the boundaries.

There is a saying in Xia Duo's hometown that "the punishment cannot be known, but the power cannot be measured." No more fear of superiors.

In Netheril, only the priests of the Lord of Radiance are keen to enact statutes, but this actually conflicts with the interests of the lord. The lord of a territory that can be made can already be called a good lord of the current era !

The laws of most territories are just the verbal orders of the lords, and when they are passed on to the people, they become unfathomable convict artifacts, such as tax officials, who can collect more taxes with just an excuse.

The soldiers in charge of maintaining order can say that you have violated the order of the territory for any reason, and then fine you.

Therefore, in most territories, even if there is a conflict between ordinary people, they are unwilling to go to the lord for arbitration, but agree to deal with it in private, which will bring about endless social chaos.

When he was in Perseus just now, Xia Duo saw ordinary people quarreling several times, and then saw the guards pay attention and suddenly reconciled, but that kind of reconciliation was obviously not a sincere reconciliation, perhaps the hatred was buried.

But in the southern border, even in today's Savile Territory, disputes between ordinary people will mostly choose to be settled by security officers, even if they don't want to, others will help.

Trained security officers will arbitrate their actions according to public security management regulations, and in serious cases, public trials can be held by more professional judges.

This kind of arbitration and trial, no matter what the final result is, most of the people will approve it, and this is where the order lies.

…

In addition to the security guards, there is another change in the Savile Town Trade Zone that is different from other territories, and that is the market management regulations.

The so-called order, it is easy for people to think of some abstract things, but in fact order is a very specific and practical thing, that is the law!

Enacting laws and maintaining laws is the perfection and implementation of order.

There may be market-related rules and unspoken rules in other territories in the development of several years, but after all, it is not a written law that can be seen on the surface.

In many cases, for various reasons, the lord himself will completely overturn the decree issued in the morning in the afternoon, and the people can only passively accept it, and they can't even discuss it.

Because in Netheril, the law comes from the lord, as long as the lord's reasons are naturally changeable at any time, this is a typical unfathomable power.

But the statutory law is different. What kind of law is established must have a certain purpose. Even the lord who is the legislator cannot easily violate it, otherwise it will violate the original intention of the legislation.

Therefore, in the field of statutory law, the main basis for judging whether a law is good or bad is the original intention of legislation, which is the "spirit of law" that Xia Duo often mentioned to Layton.

This is also the main reason why Xia Duo is full of confidence in the order of Great Xia, because it safeguards the interests of the majority of people, not the interests of a small group of people in power.

And such an order is extremely attractive to most people.

Although Pullman can already be regarded as a superior or even a ruler in the current Netheril society, but identity is one thing, and identification is another.

Some ordinary people are also very disgusted with the Great Xia Law Code, because it cuts off the possibility of him learning magic and becoming a master. Even though this law actually protects his rights and interests, he just thinks that he can and should become a master.

This kind of paranoia has no way out in the southern border, but it does not prevent them from staying in the southern border to accumulate strength for future escape~www.readwn.com~Of course, such people are very rare, at least Xia Duo did not go to Daxia I have seen it, but Savile has a few, but it does not affect the overall situation. The existence of these people can strengthen other people's recognition of the Great Xia order.

As a great arcanist, as long as Pullman is willing to compromise with the Seven Towers, it is actually very easy to become a superior or even a ruler, but if he is really willing to compromise, he will not appear here.

…

After watching the trade zone, Pullman turned to the southern zone, where there are many adventurers, but with the advancement of the integration of the two places, the territorial guards took on most of the forest clearing tasks.

Coupled with the tightening of adventurer licenses, there are actually signs of depression in the southern area. Pullman came to see this scene and couldn't help asking:

"If there are no adventurers, many things will be inconvenient, right?"

"That's true, but that requires more professional adventurers. Ordinary people should find a serious job!"
