Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1117 Code Reader Yuanfang Number Has Arrived

Even in order to let the onlookers see more clearly, Xia Duo turned sideways and adjusted the angle, and then said the key words to the pedestal of the Codex sculpture in front of him like a huge wall:

"Code, Land Law!"

It seemed to be stuck, and then the familiar voice of Ta Ling appeared in Xia Duo's ears:

"Big Xia Code, Land Management Law——

"Article [-], this law is enacted in accordance with the will of the lord in order to strengthen land management, protect and develop land resources, rationally utilize land, effectively protect cultivated land, and promote the sustainable development of the territorial economy.

"Article [-], all lands in Daxia's territory, including existing and future land, belong to...

"..."

Xia Duo listened silently, nodding from time to time, and then looked at the text of the code on the base of the code sculpture. The law of the land was not on this side, but this did not hinder Taling's reading aloud.

Before listening to everything, Xia Duo started asking again, but this time he changed his method:
"Code, I want to ask about the tax situation of the territory in the future!"

Codex cannot be omitted as a key word for calling Taling, but later on he did not directly inquire about a certain law, but inserted the key word in the inquiry sentence.

Doing so did not cause any confusion in Ta Ling's identification, and he answered almost the next moment Xia Duo asked:
"Big Xia Code, Tax Collection and Management Law——

"Article one,...

"..."

This time, Xia Duoduo listened for a while, because the side of the pedestal of the sculpture where he is now happens to have the text of the tax law.

He was corresponding to the text of the tax law while listening to Taling read aloud, feeling that he really had a sense of sight of an e-reader.

However, unlike the e-readers on Earth, the text of the code on the base of the sculpture does not change color according to the reading progress of Ta Ling, it is still the color of the material of the sculpture itself.

Although the incised characters can be distinguished from the blue-black walls around them due to the reflection of light, they are not conspicuous.

After only looking at it for a while, Xia Duo felt that his eyes were not suitable. He immediately understood that it was necessary to apply some light-color coating to these words that were not friendly to reading to make them stand out.

However, he did not start to do it now, but continued to do further tests:
"Code, the money I hid at home was stolen by a neighbor."

This time, Xia Duo set up a situation. He knew that Ta Ling could understand this sentence and find the corresponding clause in the code, but——

Taling replied:
"Please report to the public security station!"

Xia Duo was not at all surprised by this, because this is what he set up. In his plan, the sculpture of the Code cannot replace the trial, judicial, investigation and other institutions, but is only used for popularizing the law.

If some citizens encounter this kind of situation in the future and want to know the cost of the crime committed by their neighbors, they can also continue to inquire about the provisions of the code on private property, property rights, trial, and punishment.

Giving the people the opportunity to think and practice by themselves, instead of letting Ta Ling do it all for them, and only end up with a temporary emotional stimulation, this is entirely Xia Duo's deep love for the people, not a fool.

After all, the full text of the Codex has been clearly released, so if you really want to be fooled, you won't use such a low-level method.

……

After a simple test, Xia Duo found no serious problems, and basically met his previous design requirements. As for some minor flaws, they can be completely resolved before the Codex Square is completed.

Now that the Codex sculpture can be used, Xia Duo feels that there is no need to wait until the land granting ceremony to open it to the citizens. It can be opened now.

So he hurriedly contacted Layton: "Layton, come to the altar square."

"grown ups!"

Just a few seconds after the interrogation, Xia Duo heard Layton's voice. Just when he was still wondering how Layton learned the teleportation technique, Layton had already opened his mouth to explain:
"My lord, I just received a notice saying that you have created a large sculpture in the altar square, and I rushed over immediately."

The Government Affairs Office was less than 50 meters away from the altar square, and it was only a few steps away. Xia Duo nodded to express his understanding, and then told Leiden:
"The method of using the Codex sculpture is similar to what I told you before. The trigger keyword is 'Code'. You stay here to teach the people to use it. There are only a few days this month. Make reasonable use of the Codex sculpture to let the people familiarize themselves with and understand it as soon as possible. Territory laws and regulations.”

"Yes, my lord!"

"I don't worry about your work!"

Xia Duo gave a few words of encouragement and was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone shouting "a boat is coming" from the north of the square. He stopped immediately and looked north. Is there a boat coming here at this time?Isn't that the "far away"!

"Leighton!"

"Sir, what else is there to order?"

"It may be that the 'Yuanfang' has arrived. You can ask someone to go to the pier to have a look. If so, resettle the people on board, including the slaves."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Layton ordered the clerk who called him to the square to go to the pier to see the situation, while he himself gathered a group of citizens in the square, preparing to introduce the sculptures of the code to the leaders.

Seeing this, Xia Duo didn't stay any longer. Leiden didn't care if he was here, but the citizens might not dare to ask questions.

……

Before returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo flew to the sky and looked northward. It was undoubtedly the "Yuanfang". From a distance, he could even see a few small figures in flowered clothes standing on the bow.

It seemed that those people were the bards he had recruited by Evans, the owner of the "Drunkard's Home" in the port area, when he was in Severton.

The east side of the Tower of Time.

Xia Duo fell into a piece of broken walls, and the repair work of the magic net has reached the final stage. This is not the area where the eight arcanists worked before, and the Tower of Time is next to it, so here is also There are no temporary buildings.

Eberke was lying casually on an elf reclining chair placed among the ruins, half-closed his eyes and frowning, as if he was reaching a critical moment.

"I don't know if Eberke can do it!"

Xia Duo observed the state of the magic net around him, and at the same time said that Eberke broke into a cold sweat. This is already the end of the repair work. If everything goes well, it will be completed today.

If the Mystic Ruins appeared after Xia Duo got the elf repair method, then the repair will only become easier and easier in the end, but the actual situation is not like this.

It has been repaired by eight arcanists for more than a year before, and there will inevitably be some parts that have been forcibly sorted out. Therefore, in the end, these hidden dangers will become more obvious.

If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to evolve into a dead zone in the magic net.

Of course, the premise is that it is not handled properly.

In fact, the dead zone of the magic net is not so easy to appear, and the magic net itself has the inertia of recovery. As long as Eberke strictly follows Xia Duo's guidance, there is a high probability that the worst situation will not occur.

Otherwise, Xia Duo would not feel relieved to let Eberke do this last step, but worry is inevitable.
