Sulfur Mountain City is a good place. This is recognized by the entire underground world.
To make it clear what kind of place Sulfur Mountain City is, I'm afraid we must first explain what the underground world is.
Land of Exile, this is probably the consensus of all ground races.
The underground world is a hollow area under the Ashe continent. Its area is incalculable, and its terrain is so complex that it cannot be measured. It is said that there is a passage directly into the abyss of hell.
Initially, there were not many residents there, but as times changed, it became a gathering place for evicted people.
The elves banished the dark elves here, the dwarves banished the gray dwarves, the dwarves banished the wild dwarves, and nearly 40% of the orc tribe's branches were driven here by other races. Even the powerful dragons banished the ferocious dragons here.
The red dragon and the cunning black dragon, and it is said that there is also a volcano giant banished by the Titans.
Of course, the overlord humans on the surface are no exception. Although they exile all the same kind, their ingredients are the most mixed, including witches, heretics, cultists, wizards, necromancers, revolutionaries, devil worshipers, and scientists. It seems that this underground world
It became their garbage dump.
Time has passed, and today, the races in the underground world are too complex to be counted, but one thing is generally recognized.
Here, there is no order, the fist is the biggest, the winner is the king, and the loser is the slave.
Even in the chaotic Chaos camp, this place is the most chaotic. The underground world has been fighting for years, and the underground city masters are attacking the city and conquering the land, fighting non-stop.
They plundered territory, seized food, captured towns, and turned residents into slaves. Of course, the countries on the surface were similar, but due to the restraint of the Church of the Gods of Order and the Kingdom Council, peace was the main theme after all, and in the underground world, this
A place abandoned by God, but the war never ceased.
And those who can survive in the chaotic dungeon are no weaklings on the ground.
Well, according to the game guide, the underground world is a high-level dangerous area that is only opened in the middle of the game. Only players above level 40 are allowed to form a team to enter.
In most dungeons, because the racial composition is too complex, one race often dominates other races.
But Sulfur Mountain City is a little different.
This mountain city located on the banks of the Sulfur River has a short history. It is only a hundred and thirty years old. In the eyes of the long-lived race, it is just a flash of light.
But they have accomplished something that the surrounding underground lords have not been able to do for thousands of years.
There is no war, no aristocracy, and no oppression here.
There is not even a ruling race here. Although the city lord Adam Han was once a very famous hero, as a human, he served as the city lord alone. Humans are considered a minority race here. This city actually does not even have an aristocracy as the ruling class.
.
And this guy who is jokingly said to have a head full of muscles is even more famous for having no interest in power or territory.
Unlike other underground cities that have tens of thousands of conventional troops, Sulfur Mountain City actually only has a few hundred honor guards and security forces. The most powerful armed force is the city management and law enforcement brigade, which is mainly composed of dark elves, referred to as the urban management brigade, but that full force
The number of people is only 800.
In the chaotic underground world, hope for peace and weakness are synonymous. Backed by sulfur mine veins, Sulfur Mountain City has such a weak defense capability, which naturally attracts attacks from other underground city masters.
But after several wars were fought, there was no longer any spare sight to look at.
The reason? The fist is just hard enough.
No army? Actually there is no need.
Einmetheus, the ancient red dragon known as Beron's Calamity, lives in the sulfur veins behind the Sulfur Mountain City. This evil dragon who once destroyed several human empires has become this city for some unknown reason.
The guardian beast.
Adam Han, one of the most famous heroes of the contemporary era, once killed the Undead Emperor Yongye and saved the world. Even in the underground city, he once knocked down a dark elf dungeon alone, where,
But there are 40,000 to 50,000 dark elves and hundreds of thousands of other races. He himself is probably the most famous enemy with ten thousand enemies.
According to legend, Emperor Yong Ye is the only semi-god-level undead monarch in modern times. Therefore, Adam, who can defeat him, is naturally a semi-god. Therefore, Adam is also one of the most powerful candidates in the contemporary era.
The Great Sage Margaret, with the honorary title "Son of Heaven", and the Great Sage who sealed the Lord of Eternal Night together with Adam, is said to be an incredible being who can summon an entire legion of angels alone.
It is said that the underground lords who once attacked Sulfur Mountain City were 'persuaded' by a giant to retreat without even seeing the walls of Sulfur Mountain City...
It is said that as long as the three giants of Sulfur City still exist, Sulfur Mountain City cannot be captured.
In my system, these three guys are all super bosses with perfect templates at level 200 or 300. Not to mention now, even after three or four expansion pack versions, they can be regarded as super powerful people, far from those around them.
A city lord of eighty or ninety levels who barely entered the legend could deal with it.
And it is precisely because of this strong protection and the absence of an oppressive class that this place has become a pure land in the chaotic underground world.
Only force is not enough. As the administrator, the great sage manages this place in an orderly manner, and as the chief judge, the sleepless man, well, that's me, single-handedly created the most fair and just code in the entire Ashe.
As for Adam, as the city lord, most of the time he just does his job and is a mascot doing nothing.
And by coincidence, I, who am quite familiar with the Big Three, am also one of the founders of Sulfur Mountain City.
When I was questioned by the urban management before, I didn’t lie. I was a good employee with a serious job. I had a regular career as the Supreme Judge of Sulfur Mountain City!
Although most of the memories have become scattered after three deaths, the memories are irretrievable and the carriers needed for knowledge are not many, so most of them have been left behind.
My legal knowledge as a lawyer and judge in my previous life made me ahead of this era in terms of theory and experience. Therefore, the code and judicial system I formulated for Sulfur Mountain City have become a model code for the entire underground world, and even the surface world has sent scholars
Come for study reference.
Racial conflicts caused by multi-racial mixing? I copied Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" and engraved it on the city square and city gate. Everyone entering and leaving the city must read it. This is just the first step.
At the legal level, I established racial discrimination as a felony, and then used a series of policies to deal with racial conflicts, and then used a few short-sighted fools to scare the monkeys. At least on the surface, Sulfur Mountain City achieved something unbelievable in the entire Ashe continent.
racial equality.
As someone who is very interested in sociology, I know that as long as a rule is recognized and recognized on the surface, and then runs for enough time, when the world has become accustomed to its existence, it will become real morality and law.
As an undead spirit, what I lack most is time and energy. Through years of subtle cultivation, at least in Sulfur City, I have formed the same subconscious mind as everyone else.
Relatively harmonious ethnic relations are the cornerstone of the prosperity of Sulfur Mountain City, and the next step is public security.
Repeated crimes such as murder and robbery? In other dungeons, it is enough to pay for killing. Many wealthy businessmen and nobles do not regard foreigners as human beings at all. But here, in this city without nobles, there is no forgiveness.
The death penalty was imposed, so under heavy punishment, public security improved effectively.
Of course, necessary violence is indispensable. A strange dark elf knights who were expelled from their hometown because of their belief in the Holy Light have become the best foundation for the security forces, and I have also invested a lot of resources to make them citizens.
Trusted security officer.
Although sometimes I regret it, because I have made the urban management troops too well-equipped and too powerful, my daily tasks have become more and more difficult to complete, and the frequency of being imprisoned has become higher and higher...
..Ahem, there’s no need to talk more about shooting yourself in the foot. Let’s continue talking about this new era dungeon that embodies the hard work of time travellers.
The most troublesome belief conflict in other regions? Haha, it is indeed difficult to deal with other cities, because in the Ashe continent where the true god exists, their rulers are often already believers of a certain god. After preset positions, how can
It can maintain fairness, but if it becomes one party's oppression of the other party, conflicts will naturally continue.
And in this city... among the three giants, the red dragon Ainmetheus believes in gold coins, the city lord Adam Han is a very famous non-believer, and the sage believes in knowledge and Adam...
..
Well, that's right. Lord Sage has been "secretly in love" with Lord Yonghe for a long time. His crush was so publicized that everyone knew about it, and Xiaohong and I couldn't stand it anymore. That's why we had two big fights.
wedding.
Of course, I don't deny that I have selfish motives. Apart from the evil points that caused huge chaos, seeing Adam's stupid face that was about to cry was the most enjoyable thing.
Okay, we digress again, let’s continue talking about our dungeon.
The beliefs of the three giants themselves are not reliable, and if I can barely say that I have faith, it is also the legal spirit of the past life such as "let the criminals deserve what they deserve" and "let the innocent be protected by the law", so I stipulated the Brimstone across the ages.
The mountain city offers incredible freedom of belief.
"Freedom of belief is an individual's will. Preaching is allowed in the city, but no religious institution can use force to force people to believe in religion. Violators will be expelled from Sulfur Mountain City."
Here there are people who believe in demons, holy light, and Mother Earth. There are countless altars and temples, but as long as you bully others under the banner of faith, you will still be punished severely under the criminal law.
While other dungeons are full of intrigues, life-and-death political power grabs, constant faith wars between churches, and wanton plundering of the weak by the strong, our Sulfur Mountain City has extremely stable rule, a sound legal system, high administrative efficiency, and peace.
It is also well-ordered and attracts countless residents and businessmen, making it more prosperous and naturally becoming the so-called underground paradise.
In fact, it doesn't mean that this place is really good, it's just that other dungeons are too messy, so this place is better set off.
As a symbol of chaos, the dungeon and underground world continue to allow resources and talents to actively flow into our city-state, so Sulfur Mountain City becomes even more prosperous.
Even the Holy Church on the ground was surprised by the peace in this chaotic place, and sent paladins and priests to come here to learn from the scriptures. Some paladins were shocked by the multi-racial coexistence, and even wanted to stay here permanently and learn "Saint" at the same time.
"The Treasure Book of the Gift of Light", while spreading the brilliance of the Holy Light and influencing the "evil underground residents".
But these paladins and priests are what I hate the most as a lich. Sometimes, I want to take off my mask and tell them that what you regard as the "Book of Order given by the Holy Light" is an evil and chaotic lich.
Made by hand, will anyone's faith collapse due to this?
But at this time, when I was being arrested, this skin became my best shield.
No one would have expected that the Supreme Judge Sleepless, who is fair and honest and never makes mistakes, is actually the same person as the lich Roland who is always making trouble and is even considered to have water in his head.
When I was the President of the Supreme Court, I insisted on wearing a mask no matter what, because due to the existence of this unreliable evil lich system, I was destined to be unable to maintain my dignity. As a judge holding the scales, my dignity and authority
is the most important.
A code without authority and fear is just waste paper.
But at this moment, the majesty accumulated over the years came into effect.
Now, I stand here without saying a word, and the urban management team, which has accumulated power for many years, is trembling in their feet, not to mention whether they dare to test whether it is true or false.
I turned around and looked at the leader of the team, the successful captain Diana Sphink.
"Sir...sir!!"
Yes, my voice was trembling too, and I really felt guilty.
I am their boss's boss's boss's boss, but I am definitely not just higher in official rank than them. They are members of the Urban Management Law Enforcement Brigade, which is a subordinate agency of the Law Enforcement Department, and the Law Enforcement Department is the Supreme Court.
A subordinate agency of the Supreme Court, and I, the Sleepless One, am the Supreme Judge and President of the Supreme Court.
In the code I formulated, the urban management law enforcement brigade, as a lower-level law enforcement agency, does not have independent law enforcement power. They can only obey the instructions of the higher-level agency. If they want to carry out large-scale law enforcement operations such as "crack down", they must report to law enforcement.
The Department of Law Enforcement must at least report to the Supreme Court.
And I, as the president of the Supreme Court, have not received the filing documents so far!
“…….Exceeding one’s authority?”
Of course it is an act of overstepping one's authority. The urban management station I blew up yesterday will be severely punished today. How can I have time to declare and approve it step by step? Even if I want to declare it, I must first sort out the application documents from the rubble. This is a big project!
I seemed to be mumbling to myself, but Diana's face suddenly turned pale.
"No matter how gorgeous the rhetorical words are, law enforcement power is the violent act of public power, and the law enforcer is the violent tool of the ruler. If this tool has a brain of its own and acts arbitrarily, then it is time for this tool to be scrapped."
This is my famous saying, and it is the warning on the first page of every urban management personnel’s work manual.
It is estimated that they planned to make a sudden attack first and then make up for the procedures afterwards. In the past, the Law Enforcement Agency and the Supreme Court would turn a blind eye. But unfortunately, they did not expect my sudden appearance and I was caught by my superiors.
With.
I just looked at them quietly. The dark elves, who were originally dark, were now so pale that they could compete with the undead in beauty.
Overstepping the authority to enforce the law? Regardless of the consequences and reasons, the nature of law enforcement forces acting without permission is extremely bad. Today you can overstep your authority and crack down hard, but tomorrow you can overstep your authority and besiege the city lord's palace?
According to the laws of Sulfur City, the cheapest outcome for these guys who exceed their authority to enforce the law is to be expelled from Sulfur Mountain City.
The dark elves are in a desperate situation. If they meet other superiors, they can be accommodating, and the aftermath can be dealt with in a big or small way. This is the miracle worker in front of them, who turned the nihilistic code of justice into a real power like holy light.
He himself is a symbol of the legal code, but there is no precedent for him to be lenient and accommodating.
Diana, the captain of the city defense force, had a bitter look on her face, but it was time to stand up.
"Is it possible that after working hard for so long, the 'evil' dark elves finally failed to win the recognition of the citizens? After leaving the city, I have to go out to live in the days of bloody killings... What should I do?
How do I explain this to my sisters who trust me?"
The girl's red lips were bitten with blood, and her purple pupils were full of tears. She thought of the past days of fighting outside, and thought that she and her tribe were about to be expelled from the happy home and good life that they had finally found. The dark elf was charming.
His face was twisted in pain.
"Sir... these are all decisions I made without authorization! If you want to punish me, please punish me alone!" The strong urban management team leader dropped his dignity and knelt down to plead for mercy.
"Sister Diana!"
"It's not Big Sister's fault, we are also doing it for the security of Sulfur Mountain City!"
"Yes, why punish us!"
Surrounding their captain, the surrounding urban management knights were excited. Some people had begun to glare at me, and seemed to have the tendency to disobey or riot, so...
"Spell: Silence!!"
As my words fell, inexplicable magic came into play. In the void, the silver hammer fell, and the whole earth was shaken by it.
And as the silver ripples dispersed, not only did all the sounds disappear, but everyone's excited and angry emotions also disappeared.
In this magical world, when belief in the concepts of order and holy light can become the source of power, how can the belief in code and justice lack the support of supernatural power?
Although, when I was in the trial and the fourth soul emblem of the Seal of Justice condensed, I was probably the most surprised. This undoubtedly shows that the Code of Justice that I created has been recognized by the roots of this world.
Became part of the force of order.
Laws are powerful, words exist, the rules of this world are laws, we control the rules and codes, and my words are the rules of this world.
This is magic spell.
A unique spell that combines legal principles and magic. Although it is derived from the wizard's mantra spells and the priest's commandment spells, it is much more powerful as long as it meets the harsh conditions for use.
At this moment, I am deciding a case, these urban management officials are the defendants, and this narrow alley is my court.
When I say silence, all sentient beings must calm down and listen to my mantras and mantras.
The natural anti-magic talent of the dark elves is meaningless in front of my words of spells. Their words were not heard, and their bodies and minds felt as if they were immersed in ice water. They felt cold from their vests and calmed down all of a sudden.
Only then did they remember that the person in front of them was not only the Supreme Justice, but also an Archmage with bottomless strength.
The spell magic he formulated by combining magic and law has become a unique rule-based magic. It is so famous that it has even attracted archbishops and sages on the surface to learn from it. The Supreme Court has even become a golden powerhouse to practice spells.
The mysterious holy place.
The three advanced professions he created, namely Knight of Justice, Judge, and Spellcaster, are comparable to the Holy Light Knight, Red Archbishop, and Ascetic that the Templar Church is proud of.
"It's terrible...my anti-magic skin was ignored."
"It's impossible to analyze the magic level, and you can't even feel the magic power fluctuations, but at least it's a holy realm."
In their eyes, disobedience was tantamount to challenging the public power of the entire Sulfur Mountain City. Even if they ran away, they might not be able to escape from the hands of the chief judge. The dark elves seemed to be in a desperate situation of being banished.
In the face of despair, everyone lowered their heads, waiting for me to give up.
"Sir! Seeing that I have served Sulfur Mountain City for so many years, please punish me only!" With a cry in her voice, Diana knelt down.
The highly respected female knight knelt down, but how could the other knights stand still? So, they all knelt before their eyes.
Oops, I was a little touched when I saw the scene of the deep love between sisters.
In fact, Diana, the captain of the urban management team, is also a level 81 legendary knight, and her absolute strength is still higher than what I am now. The reason why I am so unbearable is not only because of my guilty conscience, but also because of the artifact.
The enchantment on this silver robe was made in my heyday. It was originally used to scare people. Later, when I became a judge, I used it to put pressure on criminals. After I understood the spell, the sophisticated robe I was wearing at that time actually became inexplicably.
Got a sub-artifact.
[Sub-artifact; the majesty of justice (bound)]
[Defense: 10 points (steel plate armor only has 5 points of defense, and the defense of cloth armor robes at this level is outrageous.]
[Special Effect One: Sinner's Self-Trial: Make the guilty feel guilty and guilty, and as time goes by, they will become more and more frightened and helpless. The more serious the crime and the more guilt, the better the effect. The innocent person ignores this effect.
】
[Special Effect 2: The Judge's Iron Mask: The wearer's charm is constant at 100, and the effect against charm, detection, and illusion-like spells is +20.]
[Special Effect 3: The wearer’s condition is not sufficient to enable it. 】
[The fourth special effect is that the wearer is not strong enough to activate it.]
[The weight of the artifact's cursed gavel: the wearer must have the status of a judge and law enforcer and perform his duties fairly. Once he bends the law for personal reasons and speaks lies, the robe will turn into an eternal fire and destroy the wearer's soul.
and physical body.]
["Please use the power in your hands carefully. What is determined by the fall of the gavel is not only the rise and fall of an individual, but also the majesty of justice and justice - the sleepless man of the Supreme Court."]
In the Ashe continent, sub-artifact or above equipment is so troublesome. It has a single but powerful effect, and it also inevitably comes with a troublesome artifact curse.
This is the case with this robe. Normal robes almost inevitably add spell effects, and the intelligence bonus is useless at all, but it adds several extremely powerful special effects.
One of the special effects saved me a lot of trouble during the trial. No matter it was a serial murderer or a gangster, as long as there was a trace of conscience, in front of me, he was like a little chicken huddled up. The second effect
, which is equivalent to directly ignoring the exploration of my true identity.
As for the fact that the curse of the artifact cannot violate the law or lie, it is not a big deal to me. First of all, I am a single person, so why should I violate the law for personal reasons?
To take a step back, if you want to deceive people, misleading like word games is enough. Lies that can be exposed at any time fall into the lower class.
"I never lie, but that doesn't mean you can understand the true meaning of my words. Don't blame me if you misunderstand me." The curse of the sub-artifact was ineffective on me, but its power was real.
Now, the law enforcers who believe in the Holy Light have exceeded their authority to enforce the law. The guilt in their hearts, under the power of the sub-artifact, has turned into invisible shackles and burdens, weighing them down and unable to stand up straight.
I estimate that just by standing there, the pressure I put on the other party will not be lower than that of Long Wei, and it will be further deepened with the trial. But if I continue to push it now, I might see girls peeing in the street.
.
That's almost enough. If they get really anxious, dogs will jump over the wall. I have no intention of driving them out of the city.
So, I turned around and left without saying anything.
"I just came by and didn't see anything. Let your captain come and complete the formalities tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were cries of joy and thanksgiving coming from behind.
"Thank you, sir!!"
And as soon as I turned the corner, the elves had collapsed, and some were already hugging each other and crying, celebrating that they had overcome the crisis, but under my mask, I was smiling.
"Mr. Sleepless Man looks scary, but he is actually a good person."
"It was so scary just now! Momo felt almost suffocated. Sister Ana asked Momo to lean on her."
"Damn girl, don't touch her, you're so perverted, go find that Lilith Milan."
The eavesdropping gadget I left behind... Well, the naughty wind brought their discussion to my ears.
"It is also the boss's duty to listen carefully to the complaints of subordinates. I don't know who said bad things about me. What if the shoes are worn by the wrong person... Is this lady's name Daisy? She really knows how to talk.
"Of course I am a good person." So, I felt much better and decided to give him a lighter punishment, but immediately I knew that my mood would get worse again.
Because, at that street corner, my faithful maid Eliza has been waiting for a long time.
"Master, have you changed your gender? You would actually let them go?"
"The law is dead, but people are alive. Laws that are inflexible and impersonal will sooner or later make people angry. Their actions and motives are not guilty, but the procedure is illegal. Exile is too much. Look at how appropriate my handling is.
, Raise the killing stick high and lower it gently. This is the way for the superior to be an official. Learn more."
"True?" she twisted her mouth in disdain. The venomous maid, my most loyal and loyal maid, once again ignored my pretentious words and pride.
"...it's so boring to play to death all at once, haha. Today is a great harvest. Not only are the daily tasks a success, but I also have the handles and favors of the urban management brigade. Hehe, little girl, let's see how I deal with you tomorrow. How dare you
Take away the food from my Abao's mouth."
Of course I remember that woman named Diana, the evil woman who took Po's bones from my hands.
Tomorrow, when you report to the Supreme Court, I will let you know what it means to make things difficult for your boss, what it means to be non-violent, and what it means to be cruel in the office!
Drive you out of the city? The Dark Elf Paladin who believes in the Holy Light is probably the only one in the entire underground world, so I am not missing a rare toy and a useful tool.
But Eliza sighed helplessly.
"Sure enough, I really can't have any hope for your conscience. You are really bad."
"No, I am a good person! One day, I will turn the evil points into righteous points, and then work hard to do good. Then I can have a good reputation!"
In a sense, I am also forced by that messy system... To earn points, you have to do bad things, but how can you get a good reputation by doing bad things, which makes me wear an iron mask even when I go to work...
...
Forget it, I really can't bear it, still...
"...It's all those damn masks and robes, and it's actually a magical suit. When beautiful women see me, they'll either be scared half to death, or their feet will tremble and they will pee. It makes me even older.
Now, I don’t even have a girlfriend.”
"No, the problem is not the mask or the costume, but your head. An undead lich looking for a girlfriend?...Haha, this joke is really hard to laugh at. By the way, it is said that when you are...
When I was a human, I was always single...Although the reality is cruel, Master, please don't escape from reality."
"Huh, I don't want to scare you, but there is still a girl who wants to marry me."
"Hey, who has such a strong taste in necrophilia... No, I understand, she must be an ignorant little loli. She agrees to marry if she gives her a candy, but she is not popular enough that she needs to lie to her.
It's too pitiful for Loli to come here to satisfy her own dignity... Oh my god, Master, why do you look so ugly? Could it be that Eliza guessed it right again."
"Asshole Eliza! I...I also want to be a good person! I also want a girlfriend!"
So... this time the residents of Sulfur Mountain City were lucky enough to see their Supreme Court president burst into tears.
