A group of young people stood excitedly in the prayer hall, but everyone kept their expressions nervous and did not dare to make a sound.
They looked up at the statue of the God of Truth and Knowledge, or more accurately, at the apostles under the statue.
The future god of words and contracts.
Sukob.
Sukob said to the first batch of young snake men in this school who will become contract lawyer apprentices and begin to learn extraordinary knowledge.
"Laws are just words, and words themselves have no power."
"But people can give them power."
"Because someone is protecting it, because someone recognizes it, it has meaning."
Sukob faced this group of descendants who were about to embark on a transcendent path, confirming his own path to becoming a god, which was also his reason for wanting to become a god.
"Deed attorneys and judges are the people who uphold the law and the contract, and are also the external manifestations of the law and the contract."
"Contracts and laws are your strength and your path."
"When you go against your own strength and path, you give up everything you have."
"I hope you can remember this forever."
The students solemnly swore in front of the statue and Sukob, and Sukob summoned his own Book of Witch Spirits.
A moment.
The shadow of the Gate of Truth also loomed behind him.
All the students raised their heads high. It was the first time for everyone to see such a scene. It was the manifestation of God's will.
At this moment, the majesty of the gods was imprinted in their hearts.
A force poured into the students' bodies, activating the mythical blood in their bodies and planting the seeds of the written contract into their bodies.
When they completely master this power and master extraordinary knowledge and ideas, they can summon the Book of Witch Spirits.
At that time, they will be a real deed attorney.
Sukob closed his Book of Witch Spirits, and the shadow behind him disappeared instantly.
"Thank you God for your gift."
The students were so excited that they jumped from ordinary people to extraordinary powers. That feeling is difficult for ordinary people to understand and imagine.
Sukob also looked at these people with joy, because he wanted to use this school to mold these new generations, thereby passing his own path to the whole world.
His eyes were full of expectation.
The expectations for these students are also expectations for the future.
"Now the Court of the Serpents, then Suinhor, the Land of the Rising Sun."
"Not just the countries of this era, but also all the countries of the next era."
"Because every country needs laws, it naturally also needs people who uphold the laws."
He seemed to see thousands of deed lawyers walking away from here, holding legal codes in their hands.
All students stayed in the prayer hall, familiar with the seeds of extraordinary power they had just received, and at the same time expressed their piety and belief to the gods here.
Sukob came out, and he seemed to feel something.
He came to the gate of Qi Law School and saw a figure on the roadside.
That figure was incompatible with everyone, even with this city.
Because he doesn't look like a snake man, but a being with the form of a god.
But he was standing on the road swaggering like this, and no one noticed that he was unusual.
He was wearing a divine woven robe given to him by the demon spirit, with a small silver flower on his chest. He looked very young.
As soon as Sukob came closer, he turned around.
"Apostle Sukob."
The other party looked at the newly established school and the large number of people studying in the school, and sighed.
"I didn't expect to see such a big school here."
"And it also allows ordinary people to enter and study."
The other party smiled. The smile made people feel friendly but not too close.
"It seems that the Alchemy Academy of our White Tower Alchemy Alliance should also relax restrictions to allow more people to have the opportunity to receive knowledge."
Most of the alchemy academies of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance only recruit students with the qualifications of powerful people. Occasionally, some craftsmen will be admitted to help with experiments or become employees, but it is still essentially an academy for powerful people.
This contract law school is more about training ordinary people to learn laws and contract provisions, and the powerful ones are in the minority.
Sukob immediately recognized who the other party was and told him his name and identity.
"The founder of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance."
"Doll Alchemist Oran!"
Sukob did not expect to meet this apostle here.
He doesn't understand.
Why did someone like him come here all the way, but he still introduced him to the contract lawyer school he had established.
"It was precisely because I saw the changes brought about by the Alchemy School you founded that I came up with the idea of establishing this school."
"I heard you once said that academia and inheritance are the most important things in a civilization, and children and students are the real future of a country."
"I think it makes sense."
Oran responded politely: "If possible, you are welcome to come to the White Tower Alchemy Alliance as a guest."
At this point, Olan changed his words.
"The scrolls you made are also very amazing. The White Tower Alchemy Alliance is very popular, and even I have a hard time grabbing it."
"This is an invention that transcends the times. I think it will definitely affect many people and many countries in the future."
Sukob immediately expressed his willingness to give some of Oran as a gift.
After complimenting each other for a while, Sukob invited Oran to enter the school.
Oran and Sukob indirectly explained their reasons for coming.
He asked the other person: "My God told me that if I want to go further, I must enter this world to find the answer, and the most likely place to find the answer is here."
Oran is already an apostle and a reincarnation. Sukob can naturally understand what the further meaning is.
Oran looked at Sukob and said very seriously.
"Why did the mysterious hermit in the wasteland finally walk down the wasteland and choose to enter this country to establish this school?"
"I'm curious."
Oran knew that this school must be related to the secret of Sukob becoming a god, and that there must be something unusual about the emerging powerful profession called Contract Lawyer, but he did not ask directly.
"I heard that believers in the God of Truth and Knowledge advocate equal exchange. I am willing to pay the price to get this answer."
Sukob told Oran: "In this world, the idea of equivalence is actually nothing."
"Because standards are set by people, and some things must be outside the standards."
"Some things may not be worth a copper coin to other people, but to me, they are a gold mine and they are not willing to exchange them."
Oran knew that it was impossible for him to obtain the real thing about Sukob's method of becoming a god. This was a fundamental secret about a person.
But Sukob still gave Olan some guidance and shared some of his ideas.
He told these words with the reasons why he wanted to leave the wasteland.
"As for why I left the wasteland, it was because I found my own path, and I wanted to be the one who gave power to contracts and laws."
Olan suddenly had an enlightenment, and his thoughts along the way were verified.
If Sukob wanted to give the contract and legal power, then Oran wanted to use the tower spirit to change the alchemists, and then change the entire world.
But there is still a question he cannot understand: how Sukob combines ideas, paths, and his own power and reincarnation.
This point is the most critical.
Sukob did not answer Oran's doubts, but told Oran another thing.
"There are a few places you can go to where you might find the answer."
"You can go to the Contract Lawyers' Union and take a look. There are a large number of written contracts signed every day."
"This afternoon, there should be many trials in the public trial court in Eclipse City. A large number of guilty people will be tried by the judge. The judge is my student Long."
These are things that Sukob directly showed in front of people. Oran can discover them as long as he is willing to look for nature, so it is not a secret.
But Sukob's guidance must have saved Oran a lot of time.
Oran expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your help."
Sukob said: "I also have selfish motives. I also hope that Mr. Oran will have some feelings in his heart after reading it."
When Sukob said this, his words seemed to indicate something.
"Perhaps in the future, the White Tower Alchemy Alliance will also need deed lawyers and judges.
"Because every country needs laws, and people in every country need to sign contracts."
Olan did not agree, but said that he would take a serious look.
When he was about to leave, Olan suddenly saw a child poking his head at the door, looking inside.
Olan didn't pay attention at first, but after scanning his eyes, he immediately turned around and stared at the other person blankly.
"who is he?"
Ao Lan vaguely felt that the other party was unusual.
Because of such a child, he could faintly feel a very powerful force, perhaps even exceeding the third level.
Even a person born with an extraordinary species is unlikely to have such powerful power in such an infant form.
But even he couldn't recognize the person as the reincarnated person just by looking at him directly.
The child is a feathered serpent.
At this moment, he has not recovered his memory, but his personality is somewhat similar to that of the former Quetzalcoatl. He is not very good at communicating with others. When Oran noticed him, he ran away immediately.
Sukob looked at the other person and said: "A guy who doesn't know whether he is lucky or unlucky."
Sukob thought of Oran's story, which included his unusual relationship with the demon clan.
"The God of Demonic Spirits once helped him. If you want to know, you can ask this great god."
Olan was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood something.
How could a being who was related to the God of Demonic Spirits be such a child who couldn't even speak? Then there was only one possibility.
"The person reincarnated by ancient methods."
And looking at the other party's appearance, it was obvious that he was using the oldest method of reincarnation.
--------------------------
Olan left the Contract Lawyers School and immediately came to a Contract Lawyers Union.
Before the union.
Gamer, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Lord Oran!"
"What exactly are a deed attorney and a judge? Someone who upholds the law and signs deed documents?"
"Isn't this something ordinary people can do?"
"Even nobles from all over the country hold this status part-time."
"Does a powerful person still need to do such a thing?"
In the past, including today's Leize Kingdom.
Nobles can make laws, and they have the right to interpret laws. If you want to sign a contract within their territory, you must obtain their permission and notarization before it can take effect.
Therefore, Gamer's thoughts were limited by this past situation, and he did not understand what kind of system Sukob created.
He was born in the Leize Kingdom, and his vision was still limited after all.
However, this journey is destined to completely broaden his horizons.
He has seen gods and humans, and also seen the remaining ancient civilizations. Now it is time to take a look at the developed civilizations of this era.
Oran looked at the building seriously, as well as the businessmen and dignitaries waiting in line.
It seems like something unusual was seen.
"Perhaps the laws and contracts here are completely different from what we imagined?"
After entering the Contract Lawyers Union, he was received by several students from the Contract Lawyers School, both male and female.
In normal times, they also work part-time in various lawyer unions, which is very common.
"Hello sir, do you want to consult or do you need to sign a contract?"
Oran looked at the others, and then said casually.
"I want to sign a property transfer deed, what do I need?"
The other party immediately replied: "If you are the party receiving the property, both parties transferring the property and receiving the property need to be present; if you are the party transferring the property, you can set the time and share of the transfer here in advance."
"If necessary, we will also need to send personnel to verify your property, which will also require additional costs."
"Then I can write the contract document for you and explain the terms of the contract to you in detail. If you think it's OK, you can proceed to the final step."
"The deed will be notarized by the lawyer."
Olan immediately grasped the key point: "The lawyer will notarize the deed?"
The other party nodded: "The contract can only be concluded with the permission of the law, and it will not take effect until it is notarized by a contract attorney."
"A contract that exceeds the law cannot be concluded, and a contract that is not notarized by a contractor has no effect."
Olan thought for a while, took out a bag of gold coins, and then told the other party.
"No need to verify the property, this is the property I need to transfer."
"I need you to hand it over to a young man named Gamer at a specific time and under the conditions I have set. He will come and collect it himself."
The other party is not surprised. The Deeds Lawyers Union often receives such entrustments regarding property transfer. Some people leave their inheritance to their wives and children, and some use this method to conduct transactions.
Olan set the transfer person as Gamer and left behind his detailed identity information and appearance.
After listening to the other party read out the terms of the contract, we entered the final step.
"Please come with me."
"Master Contractor is waiting for you inside."
Olan entered and signed his name in front of a deed attorney, who took the document.
Lawyer Qi asked Olan: "Do you think there is no problem?"
Oran replied: "No problem."
Then in front of him, a certain ceremony was initiated.
Oran saw the Contractor holding the Book of Witch Spirits that looked like a code, activated his own power, and communicated with the power and will of a certain being.
"With the witness of the God of words and contracts, this contract comes into effect."
"The spirit of the contract is concluded."
"Violators will be punished."
Everyone's contracting language is different, but the most important thing is to communicate the authority and power of the words and the contract.
The words fell and the ceremony started.
Oran saw that the words on the contract document were stripped away, and the dense words condensed into a spirit similar to a ghost under the ceremony.
The spirit body was not powerful, but Oran could smell a hint of Sukob's breath from it; and the words the other party just read and the name of the God of Contract also made Oran vaguely understand something.
"Spirit?"
"ghost?"
"Reincarnation carrier?"
The binding force of this spirit of words is not strong and can only work on ordinary people. Oran can directly ignore the punishment caused by breaking this contract.
But Oran knows that this is just one of the spirit of words. If a stronger contract has a stronger spirit of words to restrain it, in the end even an apostle like him will not be willing to bear the price of violating the contract.
In this way, an ordinary document can achieve the function of restraining with extraordinary power.
"So that's it."
"Authority, road, and reincarnation method, the three are actually integrated into one."
After seeing this scene, Oran finally understood why Sukob established the Contract Lawyer School and why he promoted the Contract Lawyer Union in the King's Court of Ten Thousand Snakes.
When leaving the Contract Lawyers Guild, Olan immediately changed from being carefree to being extremely expectant.
"interesting!"
"It's very interesting. This is so interesting."
Olan showed a rare expression of excitement.
"Walk!"
"Go and have a look at the next place."
Gamer is still in a daze at this moment, because Olan just called him his junior.
What does this junior mean?
He was even thinking about the bag of gold coins, which Lord Oran left for him. He was wondering if he should take the time to come and collect it?
But after hearing Olan say that he was leaving, Gamer immediately came back to his senses.
"Lord Oran!"
"Where do we go next?"
Oran said: "The public trial court in Eclipse City."
Olan and Gamer crossed the street again and arrived at a public trial court not too far away.
Today was the day of court, so the court was very lively. Olan and Gamer sneaked in and found a seat to sit down.
In the public trial court.
Long put on a set of solemn clothes and a hat. After tidying up his appearance, he entered from the passage of the side corridor.
When you open the door, you can see a spacious hall.
The hall is full of people, all waiting for today's verdict.
Some of them are family members of the person being tried, and some are the victims themselves or their family members.
Long, who liked freedom, finally succeeded Keaton and chose to become a judge; perhaps because he inherited Keaton's last wish, or perhaps because he became more mature.
Although he still does some reckless things and says some frivolous words, he gradually understands what he should do, what he wants to do, and what he must do.
Long looked at the eyes of everyone below with a very solemn expression.
Because at this moment he represents the law of this country.
"The court is in session."
The inquisitors were brought up one after another, and Long had already read their scrolls.
He held the code in his hand and summoned the spirit of the code. Under the gaze of the terrifying spirit of the code, those being judged trembled.
Whatever Long asked them, they immediately answered.
Each of their crimes was verified by the power of the spirit of the code. The crimes turned into words and were immediately entangled with the power of the spirit of the code.
at last.
Long held down the code and combined the power of the spirit of the code to make the final judgment on them.
The voice seemed to be shouted by the spirit of the code and Long at the same time, as if the will of the country itself was pronouncing judgment on the judged below.
"For robbery, you will be sent to prison for twenty years."
"You will be hanged for murder."
The spirit of the code will drive the final verdict into every criminal's body, making it impossible for them to escape.
Every time a verdict is announced, everyone in the audience will involuntarily stand up under the pressure of the spirit of the code, and finally applaud and shout fiercely.
The same goes for Oran.
Gamer looked at this scene with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
But Oran saw the dawn of civilization from this scene.
The law is no longer the property of one person, but the manifestation of the will and power of all people in this country.
Oran asked Gamel: "What did you see?"
Gamer replied: "I don't know, but I know that if possible, I hope that the Leize Kingdom can become like this."
Oran nodded: "This is indeed a symbol of more civilization."
Oran suddenly remembered what Sukob said before, but he did not dare to agree to such a thing.
Because the Land of the Rising Sun is the place of faith for God Yinwa, Sukob's behavior can be said to be preaching in it and competing for the faith of God Yinwa.
However, Oran decided to ask the White Tower Alchemy Alliance to establish a court according to the method in Eclipse City after returning.
-------------------
late at night.
Oran knelt in front of a metal statue of a god. The statue held a lamp in its hand, as if it was lighting the way forward for everyone.
"The god of lights who lives in the sky garden, the controller of medicine and alchemy, the god Yinwa who guides the stars."
"Your Apostle Oran prays to you."
"Please answer my prayer."
After repeating it once or twice.
Suddenly, silver cups began to grow one after another under Oran's feet.
The flowers rotated and unfolded, and finally turned into a sea of silver flowers.
Olan raised his head, and his consciousness was no longer in the human world.
He saw the mythical door that reached into the sky and the earth, and the majestic god holding a lamp in the door.
The god's eyes fell.
The light of the lantern in his hand also illuminated the area where Oran was.
The dense sea of silver flowers swayed, expressing Oran's heartfelt feelings.
"He will become a god."
"Mortals must become gods."
"What kind of god is it?"
"It seems to be related to wishes."
Yin Wa Shen spoke.
The sound came from the other side of the door and echoed above the sea of flowers.
"My Apostle Oran."
"Have you thought about it yet?"
Oran once again met Yin Wa, the god of alchemy and medicine. Every time before, he knelt on the ground humbly. His heart was filled with incomparable piety and awe, but underneath the piety and awe, he was also empty and confused.
But this time, Olan was much more determined.
He understood the relationship between gods and humans, understood the persistence of gods, and found the reason why he became a myth.
Olan kowtowed first and said while pressing his head to the ground.
"The great God of ** and alchemy!"
"Under your guidance, during this journey, I finally understood what I want."
"I finally understand my position on your ship and what kind of destination I want to reach."
Olan said seriously: "I've thought about it."
Then Oran raised his head and looked at his god.
"I want to be the god of happiness and wishes."
Yin Wa Shen's voice came through: "Happiness and wishes..."
"Do you want authority over this?"
Happiness is the goal and power, and desire is the means that Oran wants to achieve his goal.
He hopes to use people's wishes as power and means to finally reach the happy shore he wants.
Oran nodded: "Because I hope that every wish will bring happiness."
God Yin Wa looked at Oran: "Sir Sheila will definitely feel happy if she can hear what you said."
Oran: "The great master of dreams, the supreme master god Sheila, has always been guiding us."
"If we are the lights in the world, then she is the sun in the sky."
