“OUCH！ It's you darned cat again! "
Recently, Rolande seemed to be in conflict with his cat. If he wasn't careful, the cat would suddenly pounce on him, pouncing and biting, attacking him with its claws and teeth. If he was wearing slippers, he would definitely be a ferocious beast that would ambush him from behind. There wasn't any killing intent when he attacked and his attacks were swift and accurate, causing Rolande to cry out in pain countless times.
If it was any other time, a battle between a cat and a human would have started immediately. However, now wasn't the time to watch a farce.
"Lord Rolande, if you can't take care of your cat, please go out and play with it."
On the podium, the bespectacled Kolos glared at me angrily. Helpless, I could only grab her neck and spin her 4-5 times before throwing her out of the window in a daze.
"This is too much, how can you torture an animal like that? The cat will fall to her death."
Casio, who was becoming more and more animal lover, was filled with indignation. However, I shook my head.
"Good people don't live long, while calamities live for a thousand years. If she would die so easily, she would have died again and again in a thousand years."
As expected, Heloise's curses and complaints came through our telepathic connection.
"Darned unfilial disciple, how dare you treat the great Queen of Banshees like this. Just you wait, I will scratch flowers on your pillow, and …" After hesitating for a few minutes, the darned cat finally released the most vicious and shameless curse in her entire life.
"I will pee on your pillow and bedsheets. I mean what I say. I am a cat now, so don't expect me to not do it! I am going all out. Since I dare to say it, I will definitely do it. "
"Then, I will pack up the pillow and bedsheets and mail them to my old acquaintances in the Xiluo Empire. I will also mark your current appearance and name on them. The wet part is the secretion of the 'All-Knowing One'. Do you think you should mail them to your fanatical admirers to collect, or give them to your enemies to hold an exhibition and celebration party?"
"I was wrong, I won't go. I will go practice my weapon transformation now." This was what I liked the most about Heloise. When she realized that she couldn't win, she would immediately admit defeat instead of stubbornly persisting. Perhaps, this was the main reason why this calamity was able to live for a few thousand years.
"Hmph, you are still too inexperienced to fight against me."
"Student Luo Lan, since you like to stand so much, I'll let you stand as long as you want. Go outside and stand as punishment."
But the next moment, I knew that I had fallen for a trap. I was currently in the middle of a class, and I was communicating mentally through the magic pet contract. Outsiders would think that I was just standing there in a daze, which made me seem a little crazy.
Coincidentally, the temporary mentor, Kolos, was glaring at me furiously. My daze had obviously become a challenge to her authority as a mentor. Thus, I had no choice but to obediently stand outside.
That's right, they were currently in class, and the content of the class was still the teachings of the God of Law and the Law itself. The teacher was naturally Kolos, the highest-ranked Law class here.
After that intense battle, in the end, half of the first floor was turned into a Law Court (also a small church of the God of Law). In consideration of me and Diana, a small compartment was left as a Holy Light Chapel.
As for the veterinary hospital that a certain someone strongly requested … The stall outside the wall should be it. In any case, I wouldn't admit that I knew him. Not only that, I even secretly reported a certain veterinarian to the related departments for operating without a license. It was a pity that the Town Security of this city couldn't be compared to Sulfur Mountain City, so it would be difficult to deal with him.
Alright, back to the main topic. To have Kolos explain the teachings of the God of Law was her own wish, but it was also the strong wish of the listeners.
Needless to say, Renée and Kelly were still hesitating on whether they should introduce the faith of the God of Law as the national religion, so naturally, they needed to deepen their understanding of it. Even Diana and Momo, the two Gray Elves, strongly requested to start a class. The most surprising thing was that not only was Casio interested in this faith of a true God that was growing rapidly in the Underground World, even the person whose name I didn't want to be uttered was also interested in the faith of the God of Law.
"I still have to return to Sulfur Mountain City. I also believe that this new faith will spread to every corner of the world. However, I am a man who is fated to walk on the edge of the law. So, to challenge something, one must first understand what that thing is and study if there are any loopholes in it."
A certain Dracon has been acting more and more like a philosopher recently. His words made me think that a new scholar of law might be born for such a ridiculous reason. However, we don't have a reason to reject him from learning the teachings and laws. Furthermore, looking at the past two days, he seemed to be the most diligent student in the class.
At the same time, Renée and the bunch of Royal Knight who came along with her were also listening to the class. Some of them were already considering if they should change their job to a Justice Knight. This is already the second day of the class and today, there are two new listeners.
Svina di Nelson and Raymond Ron-Nelson. As this elder sister accidentally became the Emperor's' love rival ', her landlord chased the siblings out of the house without any hesitation. Very quickly, after bumping into walls everywhere, Svina realized that even though the Ottoman Empire is huge, there isn't a place for them to stay.
In this feudal human society where the core relationship between the Feudal Lord System and the Knight Conferment System, a Knight and the monarch they are loyal to are bound together for good or bad. Needless to say, the most solid Guardian Knight. Actually, there are also Guardian Knights of the same gender but they are usually close friends who are willing to risk their lives for them. The relationship between Svina and Renée is really hard to explain.
A Knight who betrays the one they are loyal to is the most despised. Helplessly, Svina who knows that she has already boarded a pirate ship can only rely on Renée. However, when they see the terrified Svina whenever Renée comes near, those who know the truth can't help but laugh secretly.
As a top-notch preacher, Krose's voice is pleasant to listen to, and she has a rather deep understanding of the teachings of the East Mist Forest. She is definitely more than enough to preach the faith of the East Mist Forest. However, when faced with Kelly, who has seven hundred years of experience, when faced with the Wood Elf nobles, this Wild Elf who is mysteriously one generation younger than her is unable to take it.
"Then, can you explain why the original law is divided into two parts? What is the difference between the [Law of God] and the [Law of Man]? There are quite a lot of repetitions between the two parts. According to the summary of jurisprudence, wouldn't repeated legislation cause chaos in the execution of the law and weaken the authority of the law?"
"But … But that is what the doctrine says. This was decided by Lord Wumianzhe, so it can't be wrong."
Being pressed into a corner, Krose could only repeat the concepts from the books. This level of preaching to the point of knowing the way but not knowing the reason was more than sufficient. However, it was evident that this wasn't enough to convince the people of the East Mist. Helpless, I shook my head and could only walk into the hall on the first floor that was being used as a temporary classroom.
"Cough, if it is possible, allow me to explain. Actually, I have quite a friendly relationship with Lord Wumianzhe and I have heard him mention this before."
Under the incomprehensible gaze of the crowd, I stretch out a finger and the silver Light of Law ripples on it, proving my identity as a Law cultivator.
It isn't impossible to cultivate two powers but if one were to convert all of the Power of Holy Light into the Power of Law like Momo, it would be equivalent to starting all over again. Furthermore, the two powers are similar and repetitive. Cultivating both at the same time is a typical example of an arduous and unrewarding task.
Thus, my identity as a Just Knight, other than receiving the approval of Kolos, 'As expected of a God Envoy', in the eyes of others, it is a typical example of an arduous and unrewarding task.
However, this is enough to prove that I am indeed qualified to lecture on Law.
"Cough, firstly, it is the difference between the [Law of God] and the [Law of Man]. The Law of God is determined by the Gods and it only has 13 Heavy Crimes. All of them are publicly acknowledged crimes that cannot be forgiven and they are basically unchangeable. The crimes that we, the Law Job, can only be judged by the Gods while the Law of Man is something that the Church of the God of Law has to constantly revise and improve. The jurisdiction and sovereignty are bound together. The Law of God can be used in any place that the Order Gods are looking at while the Law of Man can only be used in situations where the sovereignty is supporting it. This is the main difference between the two."
The other Gods also have commandments such as' Punish Evil ',' Prohibit Extravagance and Desire ',' Prohibit Lies' and so on. However, other than their believers, the execution of these commandments would more or less be discounted. My 13 Heavy Crimes are publicly acknowledged and I don't have to worry about the backlash from the other Gods, local nobles and royalty. Furthermore, it gives the Law Job a desire to eradicate evil deeds (It doesn't matter if others execute it or not, but the Just Knight has to execute it).
However, this doesn't mean that the two of them are in conflict with each other. On the contrary, the two of them are actually the same thing. The Law of God is the bottom line of the Law of Man. Since a crime is prohibited by the Law of God, then the Law of Man is definitely not exempt from it. For example, the first crime of the 13 Heavy Crimes, 'Those who willfully take the life of others for their own selfish desires shall be judged harshly by the God of Law. Even after death, they will be punished by a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.' There is also a corresponding clause in the Law of Man. The first clause of the crime of intentional homicide: 'Those who intentionally commit murder shall be sentenced to death or imprisonment of more than 10 years. However, if the crime is in conflict with the later clauses such as self-defense and war of justice, the latter shall have a higher priority.'
It is the same crime, but the Law of God has the tone of a religious persuasion. That last sentence that seems unnecessary to add additional crimes after death is actually a preparation for the future. On the other hand, the Law of Man is filled with ice-cold laws and punishments. There isn't a single bit of excess in it.
Renée gets a little excited. She seems to have seen through the intricacies of the Law.
"That is to say, the Law job class only has to carry out the Law of God. Then, what is the meaning of creating the Law of Man?"
"It is prepared for countries and domain lords who believe in the God of Law as their national religion. This Law of Man will obviously affect the interests of the local nobles. Aren't they worried that they will be collectively boycotted or even banned from spreading their religion?" Kelly asks thoughtfully. She has been in the human society for a long time and she understands how corrupt and hopeless the nobles are. How could they possibly accept this kind of law that would endanger their rule?
I smile. This is also the doubt that I had expected.
"Indeed, in most places, the nobles only pay 1 gold coin for killing a commoner for no reason. In some places, the royal family can even casually confiscate the assets of merchants. Is this kind of evil law that is purely biased towards the ruling class acceptable? Our Law of Man has obviously offended their interests. It is inevitable that we would be met with hostility and even boycotts at the start of spreading our religion. However, it is impossible to ban it. After all, our Wumianzhe is a true God. Banning the spread of a true God is equivalent to rebelling against the entire Order Gods. Why do you think Wumianzhe worked so hard to ascend to Godhood? Isn't it all for this world? "
"But it is meaningless to just not ban it."
"So, we need someone to set an example. If I am a commoner or a merchant, on one hand, they would treat me as a donkey and a slave. On the other hand, they would at least treat me as a human. Actually, there is no need for me to hesitate where I would choose to live and work hard. Sulfur Mountain City is the best example. With sufficient population and resources flowing in, it would definitely bring about wealth and power. This is necessary for any territory. Thus, the faith of the God of Law is extremely beneficial to the development of a territory. All we need is a role model. "
"So, you came to the Mist Country. Little Rolande, you actually scammed your own people. Aren't you worried that after you become the national religion, you might be met with hostility from the neighboring kingdoms? Have you considered the possibility of it being extinguished before it could even rise? "
Kelly frowns and says. Her worries are indeed very real.
"Of course, I have considered it. However, if the Donglan Country goes on like this, wouldn't it be met with hostility? You are already surrounded by enemies on all sides. Since you are not far from destruction anyway, this is a pretty good straw to clutch at. Furthermore, if the God of Law becomes the national religion, with Sulfur Mountain City as an example, the country's strength would grow rapidly. Furthermore, a large number of Justice Knight and Judgementors would greatly increase the country's defensive capabilities. Furthermore, they should be able to receive assistance from the origin of Law, Sulfur Mountain City. No matter how I look at it, the pros outweigh the cons. "
"And what if we still refuse to accept it?"
"Nothing much, we are just waiting. When the Law Job class is spread all over the world, when the teachings and laws of the God of Law are widely known by the people, the accumulated hatred and conflicts will one day explode. When that time comes, what awaits the nobles isn't a gentle abdication. The guillotine will be used until it rusts from the blood and the gallows will be filled with dried corpses. "
Kelly instinctively shudders, as though she can already see the arrival of that day. Renée raises her doubts.
"According to the teachings, initiating a war is also a heavy crime. Doesn't that mean that we can't unify the Mist Country anymore? Isn't that unfair to us? "
"No, although initiating a war would indeed cause the Law Job class to lose the Power of Law, if it is a just war like aiding an ally that is being invaded or reclaiming a territory that has been taken away, it is allowed."
"Then, who will determine this justice?"
Beifeng, who has been silently taking notes, asks a question for the first time and actually hits the main point.
"The God of Law Wumianzhe has one vote, the ruler has one vote and the majority of the people have one vote. If all three votes are in favor of war, then this war should be just. Since Wumianzhe has already turned into the embodiment of justice, his judgement should be fair and it should be acceptable to the believers. "
The questioner nods his head and sits down. The crowd starts asking new questions one by one.
"I have a question …"
"Un, it is easy to explain …"
Initially, I just wanted to say it casually, but there are some things that can't be stopped once it starts. This lecture that is fated to be included in history continues for an entire day.
Kolos, who was originally the lecturer, becomes the clerk. She buries her head to memorize the contents of today's lecture and distributes it to every believer. I can foresee that not long from now, the Flower of Law will bloom even more.
Finally, from lecture to debate, from debate to lecture, when the marathon teaching of the teachings ends, Renée and Kelly look at each other and finally come to a conclusion.
"We, the Donglan Principality, have decided to recognize the God of Law as the national religion. However, you, Roland, have to be responsible for helping us to the end."
"Sigh, alright, I will just treat it as owing you all." Even though I grumble, the smile at the corner of my mouth can't fool anyone.
