"What do you think the Heart of Rules is based on?" Qin Yirou asked rhetorically.

"Nature is the rule." Ning Yuan replied without thinking about it.

After finishing speaking, he was stunned.

"Noticed?" Qin Yirou looked at Ning Yuan stunned, and said lightly, "Rules, to be precise, the laws and laws between heaven and earth, all of these exist objectively, and they don't exist because there is no rule heart." Cities can still be built without rules, and some invisible blessings will also exist after the city develops. ”

"And there are no restrictions on the city's set, it's much freer." Ning Yuan thought along Qin Yirou's train of thought, "But why is the city-state built on the foundation and core of the city's knot? What is the difference between a city with a city heart and a city built independently? Ning Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yirou and said suspiciously.

"Do you know what you call the 'heart of the city' why we call it more of the 'heart of rules'?" Qin Yirou's eyes looked at the front of her indifferently, and the pupils in her eyes said to herself in a gentle tone as if they were out of focus, "Because it can concretize the rules of the Heaven and Earth Family and the artificially formulated rules, giving a strong binding force at the oath level." It can speed up the development of a city, reduce the difficulty of a city's management, enhance the cohesion of a city, the sense of belonging of the city's citizens, and give the city special capabilities. It is the heart of the city where rules are cohesive. ”

Raising his hand to straighten the green silk of his sideburns, Qin Yirou's indifferent eyes looked at Ning Yuan with a scrutinizing gaze and said: "Although the city established by the heart of rules has many limitations, the area of the city, the upper limit of the population, the strength of the cultivators and even the choice of urban functional buildings, it has to be said that it allows many people who are not proficient or even ignorant of urban construction to know how to build and even run a city through simple guidance, making the city the help and cornerstone of many cultivators' cultivation." ”

"The concretization of rules can make it easier for practitioners to understand and comprehend the Tao, so that the rules formulated by people can play their due role more effectively. It also allows a city to take shape earlier and have the corresponding power, and then naturally exert this power. ”

Qin Yirou paused, raised the little finger of his right hand again and swiped the green silk on his sideburns, his quiet and indifferent eyes glanced at the inexplicable distance, turned his head and looked at Ning Yuan again, who seemed to understand or not, and said, "Do you know how long it takes for a city of tribes and non-people to take shape?" ”

Ning Yuan shook his head slightly. He didn't even know what the tribe was like, let alone their urban development.

"It takes about five to ten years for a tribal city to go from design to construction to completion. Then the migration of the population takes at least two to three years or even longer. The integration and initial governance of the migrated population took at least five years, and the process from a small city to a prosperous medium-sized city-state took about fifty to a hundred years. During this period, there were various problems that needed to be constantly adjusted. ”

"Although the city built by the heart of the rules also needs to be constantly adjusted according to the situation, the journey from a village to a medium-sized city-state only takes five to ten years as long as the population source is stable and sufficient, the resources are abundant, and the quick success is urgent. And because of the rules, it is much easier to integrate and govern the population. As long as the lord of the city does not die, the city can naturally remain quite stable. ”

"What is the basic people's heart? This is the natural force for maintaining stability, which is the foundation of the people's will. Qin Yirou looked at Ning Yuan and said.

"Is it a manifestation of the concretization of rules?" Ning Yuan suddenly said to himself, "Do you express the subtle things in reality in an intuitive and patterned way?" It's really game-like! Ning Yuan, who was muttering to himself in a low voice, suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and said secretly in an undetectable voice: "No, it has been reported that the space compression technology and the automation construction technology of intelligent puppets have made a key breakthrough, if you think like this, I am afraid that in a hundred years, things like portable bases are likely to become the norm, and there may be many such devices already existing in the material warehouse of the shelter." And the construction of the city-state here is a rehearsal to some extent? ”

After thinking for a while, Ning Yuan temporarily put down his thoughts and asked Qin Yirou, "Then what's the matter with the city people breaking the deed?" ”

"The heart of the rules has a change in purity, you know, right?" Qin Yirou looked at Ning Yuan and said lightly.

Ning Yuan remembered the display information on the panel and nodded. There are indeed settings for purity.

"Although the city built by the heart of rules can bind the behavior of the citizens through a concrete oath of rules, it does not control the thoughts of the citizens. The purity of the heart of rules is the spiritual feedback of the citizens of the city to the city and the city owner, negative feedback will pollute the heart of rules and reduce the power of the heart of rules, and positive feedback will further enhance the power of the city. And the resentment brought by the death of the city's citizens is the force that can pollute the heart of the rules the most. The death of a large number of city citizens will severely damage the heart of the rules, and when the city citizens are completely disappointed with the city and the city lord, they can use the negative power in the heart of the rules to directly break the shackles of the city people, which is the destruction of the contract. After breaking the contract, the Heart of the Rules will assume that the person who broke the contract has never joined the city, and then teleports the original Chosen inhabitants directly back to where they were before stepping into the Chosen Circle. ”

Ning Yuan's eyes flashed, and he said secretly: "Is this a precautionary setting to prevent the city master from getting angry and angry after the city people break the deed?" ”

After knowing the information he wanted to know, Ning Yuan thought for a while, and then agreed to follow Qin Yirou's suggestion and put the opening of the Heavenly Chosen after surviving the siege of the demon beasts.

However, how to survive the demon beast siege, Ning Yuan still hadn't gotten a clear answer, so he asked Qin Yirou again.

"It is true that the thirty pseudo-'body ghost' guard puppets alone can't stop the all-round attack of the demon beast group, but with traps, formations and other means, as well as broken steel, their words are partially certain. If you can build some specific buildings within a month, you will have a better certainty. ”

Qin Yirou thought for a while, looked at Ning Yuan, and said bluntly, "But you are an unstable factor. ”

"Me?!" Ning Yuan raised his hand suspiciously and nodded at himself.

"The war between the demon beast and the city-state According to the laws of this world, as long as the city lord dies and is reincarnated, the city-state will directly lose all the blessing effects. At the same time, it directly determines the failure of the city-state. ”

Qin Yirou said with a hint of disappointment in her tone: "You are too weak. You may be able to fight with one or two monsters, but as long as there are more than ten monsters besieging you, you will be in a situation from which you will never recover. ”

Ning Yuan heard the words "You are too weak" again, and his face was still a little unnaturally red.

It stands to reason that he is already very fast in cultivating this thing, but it is true that he is still too weak compared to the plural demon beasts.
