"OUCH! It's your dead cat again!"

Recently, Luo Lan seems to have a conflict with his cat. If you are not careful, the cat will suddenly pounce on it, bite and bite, and the minions will attack in a series. If you wear slippers, it will definitely be sneaking forward, and then a ferocious beast will attack the heel. Quick and accurate, making Luo Lan scream countless times.

As usual, there would be a man-cat battle right away, but now, this is not the time to watch a farce.

"Lord Luo Lan, if you can't take good care of your cat, please go out to play with it."

On the podium, Chloe, who was wearing glasses, glared at me. In desperation, she grabbed her by the neck, turned around four or five times, and threw her dizzy from the window.

"It's too much, how can you abuse animals like this, the cat will fall to death."

Casio, who is increasingly animal-loving, was outraged, but I shook my head.

"Good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years. If she would die so easily, she should die and die again in thousands of years."

Sure enough, Heloise's curses and complaints came from the spiritual connection.

"Damn unworthy, how dare you deal with the great Banshee King like this, wait, I'll scratch flowers on your pillow, and..." After hesitating for a quarter of an hour, the dead cat finally sent out the most beautiful message she'd ever had in her life. Vicious and unbounded curse.

"I'll even pee on your pillows and sheets. I'll do what I say. I'm a cat now, so don't expect me to be unable to do it! The old lady is willing to give up. Since she dares to speak, she will definitely do what she says."

"Then I will pack the pillows and sheets, and then mail them to the old acquaintances of the Shiro Empire, and I will also mark your current appearance and name on it. The wet part is the secretion of the 'Omniscient', you Say mailing it to your fanatical collection, or hosting an exhibition and celebratory reception for your foes."

"I was wrong, I won't go, I'm going to practice weapon transformation." What I like most about Heloise is that when I find that I can't win, I immediately admit defeat and never give up. Maybe this is the scourge. The root cause that has lived for thousands of years.

"Hmph, fight with me, you are still tender."

"Student Luo Lan, if you like standing so much, I'll let you stand enough and go out and stand up."

But the next moment, I knew that I was still hit, and I was in class now, and I was having a psychological dialogue through the magic pet contract. To outsiders, it seemed like standing there in a daze, and it seemed a little neurotic.

And Chloe, who happened to be the temporary mentor, was glaring at me, and my daze obviously became a challenge to her authority as a mentor. So, in desperation, I had to go out and stand up obediently.

Yes, I am in class now, and the content of the class is still the teachings of the God of Law and the law itself. Naturally, the instructor is Kolos, the highest-ranking law professional here.

After that fierce fight, in the end, half of the first floor here was used as the Law Court (and a small church of the God of Law). Considering Diana and I, a small cubicle was reserved for the Holy Light Chapel.

As for the veterinary hospital that someone strongly requested... The stall outside the wall is just that. Anyway, I won't admit to knowing him. Not only that, but I also secretly reported to the relevant departments the unlicensed operation of a certain veterinarian. It's a pity that this city The city management officer really couldn't compare to Sulphur Mountain City, and it was very difficult to clean him up.

Alright, let’s get down to business, it’s both her own expectations and the strong expectations of her audience to have Chloe explain the doctrine of the God of Law.

Needless to say, Renee and Kelly are still hesitating whether to introduce the God of Law as the state religion. Naturally, they need to deepen their understanding of it. Even the two gray elves, Diana and Momo, also strongly requested to start the class. Surprisingly, not only Casio was very interested in the belief in the true God that was growing rapidly in the underground world, but also the person whose name I didn't even want to say was actually very interested in the belief in the God of Law.

"I'm going back to Sulphur Mountain. I also believe that this new faith will spread to every corner of the world, but I'm a man destined to walk on the edge of the law. So, to challenge one thing, you must first understand What the hell is that thing, and see if there are any holes in it."

A certain half-dragon person has become more and more philosophical recently, and his words also made me not hesitate that a new jurist might be born with such ridiculous reasons, but we really have no reason to refuse each other to learn doctrine and law, And it seems that these two days, he is still the most serious student in class.

At the same time, Renee's entourage of royal knights also accompanied him to the lecture. Some people were already considering whether to switch to justice knights. This was the second day of the lecture, and there were two new audience members today.

Svena Dee Nelson and Raymond Ron Nelson, because this sister accidentally became the emperor's "rival", her landlord did not hesitate to shove their sister and brother out of the house, and soon , After hitting the wall everywhere, Svenna found that Oran was big, but there was no place for them.

In this human feudal society with lordship and knight canonization as the core relationship, knights and loyal monarchs are absolutely both loss and glory, not to mention the most solid guardian knight. In fact, there are guardian knights among the same sex, but Often they are close friends who can sacrifice their lives, but the relationship between Swina and Renee is really hard to explain.

The knight who betrayed the object of his allegiance is the most despised. In desperation, Svena, who has realized that she has been on the pirate ship, can only come to Renee, but she is horrified when she sees Renee approaching. She is inexplicable, and those in the know always snicker.

As a gold-medal preacher, Chloe has a beautiful voice and has a deep understanding of the teachings. General preaching is absolutely enough, but in the face of Kelly, who has more than 700 years of experience, she is not interested in verifying this belief. The people of Donglan who are helpful to the state, this wild elves who are inexplicably inferior to the wood elves aristocrats, are always a little bit unbearable.

"Then, you can explain why the original single law is divided into two parts, what is the difference between [God's Law] and [Man's Law], and the two parts overlap a lot. According to the outline of jurisprudence, the repetition Wouldn't the legislation cause confusion and diminish the authority of law enforcement?"

"But... But that's what the teachings say. It was decided by Lord Sleepless, and it's definitely right."

When asked in a hurry, Kelos can only repeat the concept in the book. This is enough to preach to the extent that she knows it and does not know why, but it obviously cannot convince the people of Donglan. In desperation, she shook her head. It is possible to walk into the hall on the first floor that acts as a temporary classroom again.

"Cough, if possible, let me explain. I actually have a good relationship with Lord Sleepless. I just heard him say this."

In the incomprehensible eyes of everyone, I stretched out a finger, and the silver light of the law rippled on it, proving my identity as a practitioner of the law.

It is not impossible to cultivate both abilities, but if you convert all the power of the Holy Light into the power of the law like Momo, I am afraid it will be equivalent to starting all over again. However, there are similarities and repetitions between the two powers, and it is typical to practice both at the same time. thankless.

Therefore, in the eyes of other people, my status as a fair knight is a typical thankless task, in addition to the approval of Coros who "is really an envoy".

But it is enough that I am indeed qualified to explain the law.

"Cough, first of all is the difference between [God's Law] and [Man's Law]. The law of God is ordained by God. He only has thirteen felonies, all of which are generally recognized as unforgivable crimes, and they will basically remain unchanged. The only crimes that can be judged by the law profession’s release and sentencing technique are the law of God, and the law of man is constantly revised and improved by the Church of God of Law. Judicial power and sovereignty are always bound together, and the law of God It can be applied anywhere in the sight of the gods of order, while the law of man can only be applied with the support of the sovereign, and this is the primary difference between the two."

Other gods also have precepts such as "severely punish evil", "forbid luxury and desire", "forbid lies", but except for their followers, the execution will be more or less discounted, mine is a serious crime that is recognized as a crime The thirteenth article does not worry about causing a backlash from other gods and local nobles and royal families, but it also makes legal practitioners have evil deeds that must be eradicated (it doesn't matter if others execute them or not, but fair knights must execute them).

But this does not mean that the two conflict with each other. On the contrary, the two are actually the same thing. The law of God is the bottom line of the law of man. Since a crime is prohibited by the law of God, then the law of man cannot be exempted. For example, the first of the thirteen sins is "those who wantonly take the lives of others with selfish desires will be severely judged by the God of Law, and even after death they will be punished by swords and fires." The first paragraph of the crime of homicide: "Intentional homicide shall be sentenced to death or fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years, but if it contradicts the latter clauses such as self-defense and just war, the latter shall have higher priority."

For the same crime, there is a tone of religious consolation in the law of God. The additional crime after death that seems to be superfluous in the end is actually a preparation for the future. In the law of man, there are cold laws and punishments, and there is nothing superfluous.

Renee was a little excited, and she seemed to see the mystery.

"That is to say, what legal professionals want to implement is the law of God, so what's the point of enacting the law of man?"

"It was prepared for countries and lords who believe in the God of Law as their state religion. This man's law will obviously affect the interests of local nobles, so aren't you worried that they will be boycotted or even banned from preaching?" Kelly thought thoughtfully. She has been in human society for a long time, and she understands the corruption and hopelessness of those nobles. How could they accept this kind of law that would endanger their rule.

I laughed, and this was an expected misgiving.

"Indeed, in most places now, nobles only pay a gold coin for killing commoners for no reason. In some places, the royal family can even confiscate businessmen's assets at will. Is such an evil law that is purely biased towards the ruling class? Our people's law obviously violates For their interests, it is unavoidable to be hostile or even boycotted at the beginning of propaganda, but it is impossible if prohibited. After all, our sleepless people are true gods. Prohibiting the preaching of true gods is equivalent to directly rebelling against the entire order of gods and gods. , what do you think the sleepless people are working so hard for, not for this day."

"But there's no point in just not banning it."

"Therefore, someone needs to set an example. If I am a commoner and a businessman, on the one hand, I will be regarded as an evil law of a donkey, a horse and a slave, and on the other hand, I will at least be regarded as a human being. I will choose where to live and work hard. In fact, there is no need to hesitate. The Sulphur Mountain City is the best example. The inflow of sufficient population and resources will inevitably bring wealth and power, which is needed for any territory. Therefore, the belief in the God of Law is extremely important to the development of the territory. Useful, all we need is an example."

"That's why you went to the kingdom of Lan, Xiao Luo Lan, you actually cheated on your own people, don't you worry that if you use this as the state religion, you are very likely to be hostile to all the neighboring kingdoms? It will be destroyed before it rises. Have you considered the possibility?"

Kelly frowned and said that her concerns were indeed genuine.

"Of course, I thought about it. But won't the country of Donglan be hostile if it goes on like this? You are already enemies on all sides, and I think it's not far from destruction anyway, this is at least a good life-saving straw. Moreover, If the God of Law is used as the state religion, and the example of Brimstone Mountain City is used as proof, the rapid growth of national power is predictable, and a large number of fair knights and judges will greatly increase the country's defense strength, and the law should also be obtained. The aid of the city of Sulphur Mountain, the place of origin, is more pros than cons no matter how you look at it.”

"And if we still don't accept it?"

"It's nothing, just continue to wait. When the legal professions are all over the world, when the doctrines and laws of the God of Law are widely recognized by the world, the accumulated resentment and contradictions will explode one day. At that time, waiting for the nobles It is not a gentle abdication, the guillotine will be used until it is rusted with blood, and the gallows will be covered with dried corpses."

Kelly shuddered instinctively, as if she had seen that day coming, but Renee raised her doubts.

"According to the teachings, taking the initiative to launch a war is also a serious crime, so we can't unite the country of Lan? Isn't it unfair to us."

"No, although active war law professionals will indeed lose the power of the law, it is permissible if it is a just war such as assisting an allied country that is being invaded or recovering a territory that has been taken away."

"Then who will determine this justice?"

That sad wind, who had been silently taking notes, was the first time he asked a question, but he suddenly got to the point.

"The god of the law, the sleepless one has one vote, the ruler has one vote, the majority of the people has one vote, and if all three votes are in favor of the war, then this war should be just. And the sleepless has turned into the embodiment of justice, His judgment should be fair and acceptable to believers."

The questioner nodded and sat down, while the new questions were played out one by one.

"I have a question… "

"Well, that's easy to say..."

Originally, I just planned to talk about it casually, but some things could not be stopped from the beginning. This lecture, which was destined to be included in history, lasted all day.

Corros, who was originally a lecturer, became a clerk. She devoted herself to memorizing what she talked about today, but it will be distributed to every believer. I can foresee that the flower of the law will bloom more prosperously in the near future. .

In the end, from the lecture to the debate, from the debate to the lecture, when the teaching of the marathon was over, Renee and Kelly looked at each other and finally came to the final conclusion.

"Our Donglan Principality has initially decided to recognize the belief in the God of Law as the state religion, but you, Roland, are also responsible for helping to the end this time."

"Hey, well, just treat it as I owe you." Although he complained, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't hide from anyone.
