Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1038 Code Complete Substantive Code
The draft code submitted by Leiden is already in order, and the top one is the first part of the code, which is related to the legal order of Da Xia.

The above clearly and in detail expounded the theme of "Xia Duo, the pioneer of the Great Xia Territory, has the irrefutable right to rule the Great Xia Territory and pass it on forever".

It also includes the relationship between the Great Xia and Netheril. In short, the Great Xia recognizes itself as part of Netheril, but is relatively independent, and at the same time recognizes the Severton Council as a part of Netheril. sole ruler.

In addition to the legal system, the Great Xia Code also made detailed and clear regulations in various aspects such as criminal, civil, trade, marriage, inheritance, and trial.

Many clauses in Xia Duo looked very familiar, and they were indeed familiar, because this was what he mentioned to Leiden before, and Leiden also understood his thoughts very accurately, and reflected them in the detailed rules and regulations of this code .

For example, many provisions were originally in the form of "what did someone do, what is the sentence".

But now, the original specific figures are replaced by ranges, such as "the amount of money stolen within a certain range, how much will be fined".

This may weaken the authority of the judge, but it also makes the law clearer and conducive to stability.

For another example, laws related to the protection of children, which never appeared in Netheril, now appear in the Great Xia Code.

And there were many loopholes in the law that could be easily found with the eyes of Xia Duo, a time traveler, but now they rarely appear.

Until Xia Duo went through all the rules and regulations of the code, he didn't find many omissions. Of course, the loopholes are indeed used, but there is no need to go into details, because detail itself means revealing loopholes.

In his hometown, isn't there a saying called "the way to get rich is written in the criminal law"!

With the experience on Earth, Xia Duo must have set up a lot of back-and-forth provisions. If there is a situation of taking advantage of the legal loopholes, if it goes too far, then he can't be blamed for being unpredictable.

He will also explain this later when training territorial judges.

……

After reading the detailed rules and regulations of the code, Xia Duo recalled the memory in his consciousness and reviewed these provisions several times. Afterwards, he briefly made some comments to Layton, and then said:
"I am very satisfied with the law code. The revisions I mentioned at the end have been completed. Please show me again, and then prepare to preach to the citizens!"

Leiden took the parchment handed back by Xia Duo, and said respectfully: "Yes, my lord!"

"That's it, you are busy, and you can contact me anytime if you need anything!"

"Yes, my lord."

……

After leaving the government affairs hall, Xia Duo did not go to repair the magic net, but returned to the Tower of Time, and randomly found a general alchemy laboratory that was not used by anyone on the public floor.

The Great Xia Territory’s law code has been basically completed. In addition to the original lecture by Leiden, he also plans to make a physical law code and put it in front of the altar in the middle of the territory’s altar square to let the people know the law, abide by the law, and respect the law. like a god.

On Earth, in Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations, their king made the first written law code discovered by later generations-the Code of Hammurabi, and engraved it on a black basalt stone pillar.

Xia Duo didn't know what kind of mood King Hammurabi was in when he was making the pillars of the Codex, but he was very excited now.

This means that his thoughts as an earthling will have a profound impact on this magical world, which is not comparable to what the "Development Manual" can do.

Although the "Great Xia Collar Standard Development Manual" also has the concept of the earth injected by Xia Duo, Netheril is in the development period at this time. As the saying goes, true knowledge comes from practice. Without Xia Duo, they may not find suitable development. method.

But the code is different. It must be very forward-looking, otherwise it is easy to fall into a chaotic situation where the law is not applicable or the order is changed overnight.

There is no doubt that the legal system on Earth is much stronger than that of Netheril. How could a mere Netheril compare to the crystallization of social science accumulated by tens of billions of people and accumulated over thousands of years.

Even the elves do not have a complex, rigorous and huge legal system like that on Earth.

……

Such an almost unprecedented legal code entity naturally needs a material worthy of it, and the genuine Xia Duo is going to be made of pure gold.

Of course, it is impossible to use pure gold completely. On the one hand, it is expensive, and there are not so many towers of time, so pure gold alloys are enough.

But now, what he wants to make is not genuine products, but practice. After all, there are still some content in the Codex that needs to be revised and adjusted, and even if it is a genuine product, it needs to be tested first.

He directly ordered Ta Ling to get all the iron materials from the material management office, and when he saw the specific size of these iron materials, Xia Duo immediately praised his way of proofing in advance.

Without him, there are too few!
Originally, he planned to make a cuboid at least one person tall, with the full text of the code written on the front, but now he found that the Tower of Time lacked iron.

Of course, it is not impossible to make the cuboid thinner, but it feels like losing the thickness and authority of the code.

In ancient times in his hometown, the ancients cast tripods to record certain events. Netheril did not have the habit of using tripods, but steles, pillars, and statues were common.

It's just that the Naithers are more used to stone than metal.

Xia Duo is also accustomed to it, thinking that metal is more reliable, but in fact there is magic, even stone can achieve properties similar to metal.

Since the Tower of Time does not have enough iron materials, there is an iron mine in Savile Territory, but it does not know how long it will take to temporarily mine and smelt it.

It would be better to use stones.

"Stone?"

Xia Duo ordered Ta Ling to return the iron material, then took out a chair from the portable space, sat down and thought slowly.

Choosing craftsmen to mine stones, or even engraving codex texts, can be realized, and of course it will take a long time, but what Xia Duo thought was, since he has the idea of ​​creating a magic civilization, how can he use ordinary means to manufacture it!

What about magic?Where is the magic?

Even using magic to transform the mud embryo into stone, Xia Duo didn't think it would work. It always felt like something was missing, and it was still too ordinary.

After thinking about it, he found that what he really wanted should be a magic item that can be regarded as a code of law, and at the same time possess some special abilities!

So what capabilities should substantive codes have?

Shock, suppress, protect, move, or convey the true meaning and assist memory?
After some thinking, Xia Duo gradually came up with an idea, but how to do it still needs more careful consideration.

After thinking about it, he took out the only statue of the Sarukh witch that was stored in the portable space. Such a statue had been buried in the ground for countless times, and when it was discovered by his subordinate Jabas, it still had some magical power. .

If you change its shape, wouldn't it be a natural physical code.
