The significance of the Imperial Law on the Protection of Minors is to protect minors of immature mind, because they are not mature enough to easily make mistakes due to their youth and ignorance, so the Law on the Protection of Minors will give them more opportunities.

The Law on the Protection of Minors stipulates that minors under the age of 14 in the Empire are exempt from criminal liability even if they commit extremely serious crimes such as intentional homicide, intentional injury causing serious injury or death, rape (rape), robbery, drug trafficking, arson, explosion, poisoning, etc., but they must be admitted to a juvenile correctional center for custody and education in accordance with the relevant laws.

Since its promulgation, this law has been heavily criticized.

Because this is equivalent to giving all juvenile criminals a gold medal for exemption from death or even crime, some people even say that the Law on the Protection of Minors actually protects juvenile offenders, and it is completely a law for the protection of offenders.

However, regardless of whether this law is the so-called criminal protection law, and regardless of the purpose and reason for the establishment of this law by the upper echelons of the legal community in the Empire, there is no need to ignore it, and Norton and his companions are not concerned.

The problem is that it's this law that is causing them big trouble right now.

This is because the Law on the Protection of Minors stipulates that if there is a conflict between a minor and a person, if the adult has previously acted aggressively, insultingly, or aggressively, the adult side is fully responsible, regardless of the subsequent outcome.

Although he didn't understand why the bearded patrolman and the little man in the cloak had completely changed their faces after a few minutes of tossing and turning in the alley, and he didn't rule out the possibility that there was some kind of so-called dirty deal, Norton knew very well that the point of the matter was not there.

The key point is the law.

If you look at it by the law, the actions of the little man in the cloak are legal, and his own actions are illegal.

There is no legal justification for them.

The fact that a few of them were waiting for the little man in cloak and his companion at the door had also been seen by many people, and the clash that occurred after that should have been witnessed by more people, so there was no possibility of denying it at all, so no matter what the attitude of the bearded patrolman was, it was still this matter after all.

Of course, after all, the so-called laws are made by people, and they can also be manipulated and controlled by people in a certain way, and although Norton has a good family background, he is not strong enough to manipulate the operation of the law at will and pay no price.

"Then what should we do? Can we endure this breath? As a senior apprentice of Victoria's Secret Academy, we were bullied by a freshman from the Ceylon Academy, can we bear this kind of thing?"

"So what do you say?"

Norton asked rhetorically, frowning slightly.

"We can hire someone to give him a hard lesson. ”

"Idiot. ”

That's Norton's comment.

"You are really stupid and bold, you don't even know the situation of the other party and want to think this and that, if you kick on the iron plate, you won't be afraid of your feet hurting? Even the son of the city lord of Valari probably wouldn't be so reckless, no wonder your father has not been promoted, seeing your appearance, I think I understand. ”

Norton unceremoniously lectured.

In front of outsiders, he has always been polite and very educated, but in front of these 'little brothers', he doesn't need to wear that mask at all.

"Which of you investigates the cloaked kid first, just now his skills are definitely not simple, I don't think ordinary formal knights have the same level as him, and looking at the kid who came with him, it seems that he has just entered the school, they can be together, it is estimated that the cloaked kid should only be a freshman who has just entered the school. ”

"Just enrolled, that monster?"

Someone was surprised.

Norton ignored his surprise and continued to talk to himself.

"And you haven't heard of a series of actions by the Headmaster Ceylon lately, he has reduced the number of new apprentices, improved the treatment of the best students, and caused a lot of discussion in the magic academy in Valari, you must have heard of these things, right?"

"Yes, but does that have anything to do with this kid?"

Someone asked.

"Idiot. Norton rebuked mercilessly: "Do you also use your brains a little bit when you encounter something? Do you think that a normal Ceylon apprentice may have such a powerful hand-to-hand combat ability? I am afraid that the amazing hand-to-hand combat ability he showed just now is far from being reached by ordinary official knights, do you think it is necessary for such a person to go to Ceylon to learn from a magic apprentice?"

"So what do you mean—"

"The new flames of the mountains ignite the people. ”

Norton uttered a long word.

The so-called Ignitor of the New Flame of the Mountains, as it literally describes, is just an ignition man.

However, although it is only a normal fire, it is not an ordinary fire, but the sacred fire of Wallari, the city of mountains, the heart of the mountains.

Ordinary flames only emit light and heat to the outside, but the Heart of the Mountains is different, it is a flame, but it emits not light and heat, but thoughts and wisdom.

There is no way to see it, because it does not simply glow, and the reason why it is felt is because the wisdom it emits like a flame can illuminate the surroundings, so that intelligent beings can truly feel the greatness and depth of wisdom.

Heart of the Mountains is the masterpiece of a ** master.

The ** master proposed to open up a network of mages who can share wisdom and experience very early, just like the summoning of demons, which can directly face to face with people thousands of miles away in an instant, connecting countless people together, and making the world truly smaller.

Soon, he took action to do so.

It's a pity that the ** division failed in the end.

However, he didn't want to admit that it was his thinking that went wrong, he just said that the time, manpower and money it would take to build such a network was not something he could afford alone, and he had tried to persuade the empire and some chaebols to invest in his real life, although it had a certain effect, but it was just a drizzle for the ** division, and he never reached the level of satisfactory funding.

Until the end of his life, the ** master was not able to make the network of shared knowledge and experience he said, but fortunately, he left a by-product, which is also his greatest legacy.

That's the heart of the mountains.
