Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1138

Chapter 1138

Soon, there was a commotion in the crowd in the video, and the fireworks that had been blooming in the sky from time to time never lit up again after they were extinguished.

Xia Duo noticed the direction of the commotion in the crowd, and the source was not in the video, but after seeing the subsequent movement of the crowd, he also had some guesses.

After adjusting the angle of detection, there are two groups of soldiers on day patrol running past not far from the south of the square. Of course, this is not the point, the point is——

Behind the two teams of soldiers, there appeared two more teams of security guards, and a group of territorial civil servants wearing the same gray robes as the apprentices of the Tower of Time. The leader was not Leiden, who else could it be!
After Leiden entered the square, he went straight to the foot of the Codex sculpture in the center of the square, and personally inspected the wooden platform where the ceremony will be held later.

The civil servants who followed Layton dispersed, some directly entered the square and stood together with ordinary citizens, and some took out the ribbons brought from Linshui Village and hung them on the wooden poles around the square.

As for the security guards, under the leadership of Gibb, they began to rectify the order. With the sculpture of the law code in the center of the square as the boundary, all those on the east side were rushed to the west side.

On the west side, the area has been divided in advance, and it is distributed in a fan shape around the sculptures of the Codex. Mostly, those who join the Daxia collar first are in the front, and those who join later are in the back.

Since the territory was developed, order has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Following the orders of the security officers, the crowd quickly adjusted based on the number of residential areas.

Occasionally, a few dishonest ones, under the stick warnings of the security guards and the strange eyes of the people around them, also honestly tucked their tails and became law-abiding.

"Xia Duo, these people—"

Looking back, Xia Duo saw that Niya was looking at the real-time video in the middle of the meeting room with a face of surprise. When she noticed that Xia Duo was looking at her, Niya couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is too incredible!"

In the past, Savile led countless celebrations and ceremonies, but there has never been a ceremony or celebration as orderly as the real-time video.

Although the Daxia leaders on the Codex Square are distributed in a fan shape, which is inconvenient to arrange, you can also see the layers of arcs formed by those leaders who are at the same distance from the Codex sculptures, and they are very regular from near to far.

However, the ceremonies and celebrations of the Savile Land are messy almost every time. Although there are many reasons for this from outsiders, the difficulty of controlling the people is also an important reason.

Not to mention the leaders, even the soldiers, in terms of discipline and organization, are much worse than the Daxia leaders in the real-time video at this moment!
"How did you do it? How did you make them so obedient?" Niya's eyes lit up when she asked this question.

"Uh—" Xia Duo probably guessed what Nya wanted to ask, but——

"Can I say it was a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstand?"

Niya was very puzzled, "How is this a misunderstanding?"

"You're trying to say that the executive power of ordinary citizens is so strong, right?"

"Correct!"

"That's a misunderstanding. In fact, these people can't completely regard them as ordinary citizens. In fact, each of them has been incorporated into a working group and is usually used to various orders. If it is a free citizen like the Savile Land Well, the situation is different!"

This is actually the difference between an individual and an organization. Even on Earth, a few hundred random people on the street will never be as orderly as the regular personnel in a factory workshop or a school class.

The workshop director or squad leader seems to be the same as everyone else, but they are actually a manifestation of organizational order. Niya sees that the people in the leadership are orderly, but she doesn't see that each of the people in the leadership has their own organization.

Although there is no direct superior-subordinate relationship between the security officers and them, in a higher level of order, the security officers themselves have jurisdiction.

Similar to the earth, the police command, is there any reason for ordinary people not to listen?
On Earth, there are all kinds of ideas, and ordinary people will still subconsciously obey the command of the police. In Netheril, even though the Great Xia is more tolerant than other places, the authority of the security officers is still unquestionable.

At least it is not something that ordinary citizens can question.

If you don't understand the deep logic behind this, and only see the people who are so tame and obedient, and follow suit, it will only lead to tragedies.

For others, Xia Duo might not explain too much, but for Niya, Xia Duo patiently explained the reasoning to her.

"So that's the case! I just wanted Uncle Thain to ask Layton to borrow a few security guards to study, and I will give you a surprise during the Midsummer Festival celebration. I almost did something wrong!"

Xia Duo felt pity for Nya's annoyed look, but this was not the time to soften his heart. He put his palm on the back of Nya's hand and said solemnly:

"The lord has the responsibility to expand the territory and protect the people. The more people involved in the decree, the more cautious it is!"

"Ah."

Niya's cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't raise her head after she lowered her head. But then, as if she had thought of something, she quickly raised her head to look at Xia Duo, her face became even more rosy:
"Xia Duo, our children will inherit the two territories in the future, and now, there is a plan to connect the two territories. I want to bring the Daxia Law Code to the Saville Territory first, so that the two territories can truly merge into one in the future. "

"Hey—this—"

Xia Duo glanced at Niya in surprise. He wanted to promote the integration of the two places, but he couldn't hide it from Niya, who was the bedside person, but it was a bit out of Xia Duo's mind to let Nya take the initiative to accept the Great Xia Law Code. Unexpected.

In Netheril, the power of tradition is enormous, not to mention the pioneer of the Saville Land, the first lord, and the great-grandfather of Niya, the great arcanist Saville, has a high probability of not dying yet!

Can't wait to come back someday.

In addition, there is Niya's father, Lord Epps. Although he was cursed by the high elf mage and half of his body was buried in the ground, he may not be able to wait for future treatment in "eternal stagnation".

Among other things, Xia Duo will definitely save him if he is capable!

Niya's words really "made a decision that violated her ancestors", and I don't know if she had "been through repeated and thoughtful ideological struggles" before?
In terms of moving, Xia Duo was really moved, but this matter should not be carried out prematurely.

The power of tradition is strong, but it is definitely not as strong as the will of the lord. As long as Niya is committed to reform, no one else, even the Severton Council, has any reason to interfere.

But the price involved is that Niya's reputation may plummet, especially those core followers who are divorced, and the turmoil caused by it may last for decades.

Xia Duo naturally didn't want Nya to sacrifice too much for him, especially the emotional sacrifice. It makes people feel distressed to think about bearing the name of "betrayer" alone.

And in this regard, he has long planned, the assimilation power of the advanced to the backward is extremely powerful.

As long as the two places are connected, the order of the Daxia Territory will naturally permeate all aspects of the Savile Territory, especially when the lords are "betrayed", it will be extremely easy.

In the end, even if there are some diehards, that will not hinder the general trend, but will become a model to set off the new law.
