Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1711 Wendy Johnson is happy to buy melons
On the central square of Savile Town, Niya and Xia Duo's projection have begun to distribute holy water to the citizens.

On the Codex Square on the side of the Tower of Time, after the ceremony, Xia Duo did not leave with Niya's projection, but retreated to the area where Jibu and other territorial officials were located on the west side of the sculpture.

"Don't worry too much about that side for now. I'll talk about it after watching this new play. I've already asked them to bring the order of performance to the front."

Xia Duo summoned Niya, drawing her main attention away from the main body in the north.

At the same time, in the open space at the foot of the Codex sculpture, a peddler dressed in the national costume of Langas came trotting here with a large bag of melons.

Then the peddler skillfully pulled the bag and turned it into a doily, on which juicy melons lay one by one, "Selling melons! The freshly picked melons are sweet and fresh!"

"What is this new play about?" Niya asked curiously.

But the next moment, she fell silent, her face was full of surprise, Xia Duo was not surprised by this at all, because he also sensed a piece of code information related to the current new play——

"Citizens of Daxia must abide by relevant laws and regulations when engaging in commercial activities, conduct them in normal commercial activity areas, and pay taxes according to law.

"Self-operated stalls and shops need to be registered with the Government Affairs Office. Unregistered stalls and shops, once verified, will be punished by the Public Security Bureau in accordance with market management regulations."

In fact, the information that Xia Duo can perceive is far more than these. If he is willing to completely let go of the Lord of Radiance, he can also perceive all the information related to the new scene on the field and related to laws and regulations.

Including but not limited to how to register business activities, how to pay taxes, how to file with the Sheriff's Office, etc.

This is the miraculous and general knowledge effect of the Codex sculpture. As long as the person concerned is near the sculpture and has no resistance to the Lord of Radiance, he can simulate legal events at will and get answers.

The basis is undoubtedly the Code itself.

The new drama is just one of the ways to use it, because most of the current citizens (compared to the well-informed modern citizens of the earth) are very simple, and most of them will not actively look for loopholes in the law.

It may not even be possible to have such an idea.

But among the common people, such as those bards in the Ministry of Culture and Education, because they have a certain amount of power, but they are under the real privileged class-Mage, they will consider taking advantage of the loopholes in the law.

It is precisely because these people have been to many places and seen many things that they have this kind of experience to create so-called legal educational dramas according to Xia Duo's needs.

In fact, this "Wendy Johnson Buying Melons" seems to Xia Duo to be too simple and straightforward. Of course, under the current territorial environment, simple and straightforward is just right.

Only when the population increases and the social class increases in the future will more complicated legal incidents appear. At that time, it is also necessary for dramas to introduce new ones.

……

"A person came to buy melons!"

The voice actually came from behind Xia Duo. He turned his head and saw a strong guy in an orange uniform of a security officer separating the crowd and walking towards the open space in the middle.

While walking, he waved and greeted the surrounding crowd from time to time, just like a big star coming out of the stage, and only restrained himself when passing by Xia Duo and Niya.

But when he walked away, he had a hippie smile again. For a while, Xia Duo doubted whether this guy was like this usually, or he was really good at acting.

"Brother, how much is your melon per catty!"

Almost at the same time that the security officer was speaking, everyone in the area where Xia Duo was located felt a message——

"According to the Territorial Sheriff's Regulations, addressing people during work should use formal titles, such as 'Mr.', 'Ms.' or 'Citizen'."

Good guy, it's breaking the rules right now.

"Is his real identity a security officer?" Niya asked curiously.

"I don't know, it may be, or it may not be. There are elements of truth and deduction in dramas. Keep watching!"

"Ah."

……

The following performance was almost exactly the same as the script that Xia Duo had read before. Generally speaking, the security guards bought and sold by force, and the small vendors fought hard, and then the security guards fought violently, almost killing people.

As for the ending, as a model play, of course it must be positive.

In the end, the public security station received reports from the masses, arrested the violating security officers, and conducted public trials, judgments, and most importantly, executions in front of all the citizens on the Codex Square.

After the performance, bursts of applause broke out in the square.

Although only the people in the front row can perceive the instant legal explanation, even if the people in the back don't know some specific legal details, it is not difficult to understand the process and result of the matter itself.

The bad guy broke the law, and the bad guy was punished, even if the bad guy was a vigilante—a status that in the past was almost impossible to be officially punished for a civilian incident.

Therefore, this is the big summer collar, this is the new life!
……

After watching "Wendy Johnson Buying Melons", Niya became interested, and completely handed over the task of distributing the holy water at the central square to the priests, and completely focused on the new play at the Codex square.

"Are all other new plays like this?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the actor!"

Xia Duo had also seen many new-style dramas in the territory before. To be honest, such wonderful performances as today are almost rare.

Whether it is the one who plays the law and order officer, or the one who plays the judge later, they are all fully worthy of the word "professional".

Xia Duo guessed that it might be the first legal drama, and the Ministry of Culture and Education arranged for more professional people to perform it. In fact, when he was watching "Wendy Johnson Buying Melons", the other directions of the legal code sculpture He also took a look at the new play.

It can’t be said to be shoddy, at least it’s hard to have anything to do with acting skills. Many people are acting, or they forget their lines and need to be reminded by others, or they make various out-of-the-box actions.

Even communicate with the audience at will.

While this would have suited the festive atmosphere of Midsummer's Day, it would not have suited serious drama.

But Xia Duo didn't bother to remind him. He didn't need to remind the people what they like to hear and see. As long as it is not too vulgar, vulgar, or kitsch, he can let the leading people play it as they like.

……

The next new play was indeed similar to what Xia Duo expected. Although he could see that it was deliberately selected by the government affairs department for him and Niya, but with the first play for comparison, the gap is real of.

Because Xia Duo has the "buff" of his own leader, and he is well-informed before time travel, he enjoys watching these occasionally awkward new dramas.

But Niya is different. Even if Code Sculpture forcibly gives these new dramas a layer of formality, these short-sighted and vulgar things of parents were not allowed to be on the stage in the past.

Even though Niya has a new understanding of the people due to Xia Duo's influence, it is still difficult for her to accept these immediately.

At the end of the second new scene, Niya quietly told Xia Duo:

"I just received news from Severton that the envoy Evereska is coming, let's go back first!"

"Alright."

Xia Duo looked around, and agreed without hesitation. Because of his presence, the leaders were somewhat reluctant to let go. With him gone, the leaders could breathe a sigh of relief and have a good carnival.
