Chapter 861 New Knight

"You want to settle here?"

Just hearing Lindsay's question, the Law Knight looked surprised.

However, when it comes to solving the problem, his attitude is relatively gentle, and he even took the initiative to guess Lindsay's situation:

"The outside world is in the midst of war. If you want to live in the [City of Law] during this period to protect your own safety, there is certainly no problem."

Saying this, the Knight of Law led the way.

Lindsay followed him for two steps and heard him ask again:

"But since you have this idea, why don't you apply at the city gate when you enter the [City of Law]?"

"That would be much more convenient than here."

Of course Lindsay would not say that she was thrown in by the turbulence of time and space.

He thought about it and decided to deal with it with honest but not ambiguous words:

"When I entered the [City of Law], my mind wasn't very clear, and I didn't make a good decision at the time."

Lindsay's answer actually made the Law Knight in front of him a little concerned.

He stopped and patted Lindsay on the shoulder comfortingly:

"Oh, I understand."

"You survived outside, and you must have heard that the resources in the [City of Law] are tight and people's lives are not good, so you can't make up your mind."

Lindsay simply echoed:

"It's war time, after all."

The Law Knight who led the way for him shook his head:

"Although there is war outside, there are abundant supplies, and we are under the command of the righteous. As long as we are not defeated in the war, it is easy to get protection."

The tone of the Law Knight made it seem as if he had already regarded this phenomenon as common sense.

Although Lindsay was curious, she knew she shouldn't ask any more questions, so she let go of her [atmospheric touch] and listened to the sounds of the entire city.

"Abei, I don't want to be hungry anymore!"

"Then you can go out and find a decent person you think you can rely on."

"You're kidding. What if he dies on the way?"

"That means you are not destined to have enough to eat."

"The old Qiao family next door is really brave. He just chose to leave the city!"

"Who is living in the house that Old Qiao's family vacated now? It must be someone who came in from outside the [City of Law]!"

"Ahhh-"

"When will the new king be born? I remember in 'The Story of the Little King', a coup d'état only took a few years. How come it's lasting for dozens of years when it comes to us?"

"You idiot, that's The Story of the Young King, not Little King!"

"..."

Most adult human males are keen on discussing current affairs, and people in the [City of Law] are no exception.

Lindsay listened carefully.

I also learned about the current situation in the world of [Capital of Law].

Inside the royal city, because there is land to provide production and with the active support of the awakened ones, the supplies here can maintain the normal operation of the city.

But without the abundant material exchanges from the outside, people are now in a state where they can barely starve to death.

And outside the royal city.

Judging from what these residents have heard.

Although life safety cannot be guaranteed due to the war, the vast land brings more abundant resources.

Especially those under the command of the eighth-stage awakeners.

The people under his control, whether awakened or ordinary people, are treated generously. Or at least in terms of external propaganda, the treatment is very good.

“Isn’t this just the local version of the siege?”

“The people inside are hungry and want to get out, while the people outside want safety and plan to come in.”

Lindsay shook her head slightly.

He continued to move forward with the Knight of Law and soon arrived in front of a stone castle.

This building is square, with almost no windows visible on the surface. From the perspective of the awakened, one can still sense that there is source technology guarding here.

It doesn't look like a place that can meet normal living needs.

Instead, it looks like a place where the military or soldiers conduct martial arts training in normal times.

Facing the street, crossed sword and shield emblems guarded both sides of the gate.

The Knight of Law led Lindsay into it.

However, the two did not go deeper. Just to the left of the entrance, there was a small office surrounded by wood.

"Wait a mininute."

The Knights of the Law are polite.

He asked Lindsay to sit there and wait while he searched in the back of the office.

After a while, he walked up to Lindsay with a scale, a roll of paper and a pen.

——The scales of law.

Lindsay had seen it before. It was something specifically used to detect lies.

The Knight of Law placed the scales on the table and took the lead in demonstrating, holding one end of the scales with his hand:

"Come, hold this side and I'll hold this side."

Lindsay had no choice but to hold out her hand and face the subsequent inquiries.

"Awakened One?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell me your specific occupation?"

"Gamer."

"Gamer? What kind of job is that?"

"Just playing games - kids skipping rope, hide-and-seek, that kind of thing."

"Yugi... what a pity. Where were you born?"

"Anville Village, a border agricultural village, is also within the borders of the [Capital of Law]."

"Were you instructed to come to the [Capital of Law] by someone else?"

"No, I came here on my own initiative."

"Do you support a righteous person? Or do you want to support someone to become the new king?"

"I have never thought about these things. I just hope that peace can come soon."

"..."

Lindsay's answers were coherent and mostly truthful.

After all, he is different from those spies who want to sneak in.

He was truly a native resident and had no preference towards any particular righteous person.

Wait for the message to be recorded.

The Knight of Law took back the scales and walked back with the form:

"You can wait here."

"The legal system reviews messages very quickly. Your information will be processed in about an hour."

Lindsay nodded immediately:

"Okay, I'll wait here."

Lindsay stood by the gate, waiting.

The Knights of the Law who were out on business went in and out of the stone fortress, and occasionally escorted prisoners.

“Although there are legal restrictions, it is still impossible to avoid committing crimes.”

"law……"

"We should promote universal education, improve social morality, and enrich people's material and spiritual life..."

While Lindsay was mumbling at the door, the voice of the Law Knight rang out:

"Lindsay, come here."

"Your proof of residence has been processed, and we just found a vacant room. You can just go over and stay there."

Lindsay's identity had no problems to begin with, so it was approved immediately.

Even a residence was assigned to him.

But when he got the metal nameplate that symbolized his identity.

A group of young men walked out from behind the stone fortress. More than a dozen of them poured into the street. They were wearing even simpler armor, but their spirits were very full, as if they were looking forward to what was to come.

"Ok?"

Lindsay was curious.

The Knight of Law who was helping him with the formalities noticed it and explained to him with a smile:

"It's the oath-taking ceremony for the new Knights of the Law."

"Although the new king has not yet been determined, the laws and the city must continue."
