Chapter 1117 The Codex Reader and the Yuanfang are here
Even in order to let the onlookers see more clearly, Xia Duo also adjusted his angle sideways, and then faced the base of the code sculpture in front of him, which was like a huge wall, and said the key words:
"Code, law of the land!"
It seemed to be stuck for a moment, and then the familiar voice of the tower spirit appeared in Sha Duo's ears:
"Bactrian Code, Land Management Law——
“Article 1. This law is enacted in accordance with the will of the lord in order to strengthen land management, protection, and development of land resources, rationally utilize land, effectively protect cultivated land, and promote the sustainable development of the territorial economy.
"Article 2: All land in the Daxia Territory, including existing and future lands, belongs to...
"..."
Xia Duo listened silently, nodding from time to time, and then looked at the text of the code on the base of the code sculpture. The land law was not on this side, but this did not prevent Ta Ling from reading it aloud.
After not listening to everything, Xia Duo started to ask again, but this time he changed his method:
"Code, I would like to ask about the future tax situation of the territory!"
The code of law cannot be omitted as a keyword when calling the tower spirit, but later he did not directly ask about a certain law, but inserted the keyword into the query sentence.
This did not cause confusion in the identification of the tower spirit, and Xia Duo answered almost the moment he asked:
"Daxia Code, Tax Collection and Management Law——
"Article 1,...
"..."
This time, Xia Duo listened for a while, because the text of the tax law happened to be on the side of the base of the code sculpture where he was currently.
While he was corresponding with the main text of the tax law, he listened to Ta Ling read it aloud, and it felt a bit like seeing it on an e-reader.
But unlike e-readers on Earth, the text of the code on the sculpture base does not change color according to the progress of the tower spirit's reading. It remains the color of the sculpture's body material.
Although the engraved words can be distinguished from the blue-black walls around them due to the reflection of light, they are not conspicuous.
Xia Duo only looked at it for a while and felt that his eyes were not suitable for it. He immediately understood that it was necessary to give these words that were not very friendly to reading some light-colored coating to highlight them.
However, he did not start doing it now, but continued to conduct further tests:
"Code, the money I hid at home was stolen by my neighbor."
This time, Xia Duo set up a situation. He knew that the tower spirit could understand this sentence and find the corresponding article in the code, but——
Talling replied:
"Please go to the police station to report the crime!"
Chateau was not surprised at all by this, because this was what he had set up. In his plan, the sculpture of the Code could not replace the trial, judicial, investigation and other institutions, but was only used to popularize the law.
If a citizen encounters this situation in the future and wants to know the cost of his neighbor's crime, he or she can continue to inquire about the provisions of the code regarding private property, property rights, trial, and punishment.
Giving the people the opportunity to think and practice on their own, instead of letting the tower spirit do it all for them, and only getting temporary emotional stimulation. This is completely Xia Duo's deep love for the people, not a fool.
After all, the entire text of the code is clearly released, so if you really want to fool someone, you won't use such low-level methods.
…
After a simple test, Xia Duo found no serious problems and basically met his previous design requirements. As for some minor flaws, they can be solved before the Codex Square is built.
Now that the code sculpture is ready for use, Xia Duo feels that there is no need to wait until after the land granting ceremony before opening it to the people of the territory. It can be opened now.
So he quickly contacted Leiden: "Leiden, come to Altar Square."
"grown ups!"
Just a few seconds after the interrogation, Sha Duo heard Layton's voice. Just when he was still wondering how Layton learned the teleportation technique, Layton had already started to explain:
"Sir, I just received a notice saying that you created a large sculpture in the Altar Square. I rushed over immediately."
The Government Affairs Office is less than fifty meters away from the Altar Square, and it can be reached in just a few steps. Xia Duo nodded to express his understanding, and then ordered Leiden:
"The method of using the code sculpture is similar to what I told you before. The trigger keyword is still 'code'. You stay here and teach the people to use it. There are only a few days in this month. Make reasonable use of the code sculpture so that the people can become familiar with it and understand it as soon as possible.
The laws and regulations of the territory.”
"Yes, sir!"
"I can rest assured that you will do the work!"
Xia Duo gave some words of encouragement and was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone shouting "A ship is coming" from the north of the square. He immediately stopped and looked to the north. Is there a ship coming here at this time? Isn't that right?
"Yuanfang No."?
"Leiden!"
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
"It may be that the Yuanfang Ship has arrived. You can ask someone to go to the dock to take a look. If it is the case, everyone on the ship, including the slaves, can be safely accommodated."
"yes."
Later, Leiden ordered the clerk who called him to the square to go to the pier to see the situation, while he gathered a group of citizens in the square and prepared to introduce the code sculpture to the citizens.
Seeing this, Xia Duo didn't stay any longer. It didn't matter to Leiden that he was here, but the citizens might not dare to ask questions.
…
Before returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo flew to a high altitude and looked north. There was no doubt that it was the "Yuanyuan". In the distance, he could even see a few little people in colorful clothes standing on the bow of the ship.
Apparently, those people were the bards he had asked Evans, the owner of the "Drunkard's House" in the port area, to recruit when he was in Severnton.
The east side of the Tower of Time.
Xia Duo fell into the ruins of a broken wall, and the repair work of the magic network has reached the final stage. This is not the area where the eight arcanists worked before, and the Tower of Time is right next to it, so this place is
There are no temporary buildings.
Aibo was sitting on an elf lounge chair placed among the ruins very casually, with his eyes half-squinted and his brows furrowed, as if he was reaching a critical moment.
“I don’t know if Aibo can do it!”
While observing the status of the magic network around him, Sha Duo mentioned that Ai Bok was sweating coldly. This was already the end of the repair work. If everything goes well, it will be completed today.
If this mysterious ruins appeared after Shado obtained the elven repair method, then the repair would only become easier and easier in the end, but this is not the actual situation.
It has been repaired by eight arcanists for more than a year, and there will inevitably be some forced sorting out. Therefore, towards the end, these hidden dangers will become more obvious.
If not handled properly, it is likely to evolve into a magic network dead zone.
Of course, the premise is that it is not handled properly.
In fact, the Dead Zone of the Magic Network is not that easy to appear. The Magic Network itself also has the inertia of recovery. As long as Aibo strictly follows Sha Duo's instructions, there is a high probability that the worst case will not occur.
Otherwise, Xia Duo would not be able to trust Aiboke to do this last step, but worry is unavoidable.
