Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Law of God and the Law of Man

β€œOUCH! It's you dead cat again! ”

Recently, Luo Lan seems to have had a conflict with his cat. If the cat is wearing slippers on its feet, it is definitely lurking forward, and then bursting into a fierce beast that attacks on the heel, without any murderous spirit before the shot, and the shot is fast and accurate, making Luo Lan scream countless times.

In the past, there would have been a human-cat war, but now is not the time to watch a farce.

"Lord Luo Lan, if you can't take care of your cat, please hang out with it."

On the podium, the bespectacled Kolos glared at me, and in desperation, I grabbed her by the neck, turned it around four or five times, and threw her out of the window, dizzy.

"It's too much, how can you abuse animals like this, cats will fall to their deaths."

Casio, who is becoming more and more animal lovers, is indignant, but I shake my head.

"A good person doesn't live long, and the scourge lives for a thousand years, if she hangs up so easily, she should die and die again in a thousand years."

Sure enough, the heart-to-heart connection came with Heloise's curses and complaints.

"Damn unscrupulous, how dare you deal with the great Banshee King like this, wait, I'll scratch flowers on your pillow and ......" After hesitating for half a quarter of an hour, the dead cat finally let out the most vicious and limitless curse of her life.

"I'll also pee on your pillows and sheets, and I'll do what I say, I'm a cat now, don't expect me to be unable to do it! The old lady is out of the way, since she dares to speak, she will definitely do what she says. ”

"Then I'll pack the pillows and sheets. It was then mailed to an old acquaintance of the Ciro Empire. It will also be marked with your current appearance and name, and the wet part is the secretion of the 'All-Knowing'. You say mail to your rabid suitor collection, or to host exhibitions and celebratory drinks for your enemies. ”

"I'm wrong, I'm not going, I'm going to practice weapon transformation." What I like most about Heloise is that when I find that I can't win, I immediately admit defeat and never die, and perhaps this is the fundamental reason why this scourge has lived for thousands of years.

"Hmph, fight me. You're still a little tender.

"Classmate Luo Lan, I like to stand so much, I'll let you stand enough, go out and punish the station."

But the next moment, I knew that I had still been tricked, and now I was in class, and my guΓ² magic pet contract psychological dialogue looked like standing there in a daze to outsiders, and I seemed a little neurotic.

And it just so happened that Kross, who was the temporary mentor, was glaring at me, and my stunned was clearly a challenge to her authority as a mentor. So, in desperation. I had no choice but to go out and stand obediently.

Yes, I am now in class, and the content of the class is still the teachings of the God of Law and the law itself, and the teacher is naturally the highest-ranking legal professional here, Kolos.

After that fierce fight, the first floor of the house was still half used as the Court of Law (and the small church of the God of Law), and a small cubicle was left for the Chapel of the Light, considering Diana and me.

As for the veterinary hospital that someone strongly requested...... The stall outside the wall is, anyway, I won't admit to knowing him, not only that, but I also secretly reported the unlicensed operation of a veterinarian to the relevant departments, but unfortunately, the city's urban management really can't be compared with the sulfur mountain city, and it is very difficult to clean him up.

Well, without further ado, having Kolos explain the teachings of the God of Law was both her own expectation and a strong expectation of her audience.

Needless to say, Renee and Kelly are still hesitant to introduce the God of Law belief as the state religion, and naturally need to deepen their understanding of it, even Diana and Momo, the two gray elves, also strongly requested the class, and the most surprising thing is that not only Casio is quite interested in this true god belief that is growing rapidly in the underground world, but also the person whose name I don't even want to be said is actually very interested in the God of Law faith.

"I'm going back to Brimstone Hill, and I believe that this new faith will spread to every corner of the world, and I'm a man who is destined to wander the edge of the law, so to challenge a thing, you must first understand what it really is, and study if there are any loopholes in it."

A certain half-dragon man has been becoming more and more philosophers lately, and his words made me not hesitate that a new jurist might be born for such ridiculous reasons, but we did not have a reason to refuse the other to study doctrine and law, and it seemed that he was the most serious student in the lecture for the past two days.

At the same time, Renee's group of royal knights accompanied the lecture, and some people were already considering whether to transfer to the knights of justice, and this was the second day of the lecture, but today there were two new listeners.

Swana. Advance. Nelson, and Raymond. Prosperous. Nelson, because this sister unexpectedly became the emperor's "rival", her landlord did not hesitate to sweep the siblings out of the house, and soon, after running into walls everywhere, Swenna found that although Orlan was large, there was no place for them.

And in this human feudal society with the core relationship between the lord system and the canonization of knights, knights and loyal monarchs are definitely both losses and glory, not to mention the most solid guardian knights, in fact, there are also guardian knights between the same sex, but they are often close friends who can spare their lives, and the relationship between Swena and Renee is really difficult to explain.

The knight who betrayed his allegiance was the most despicable, and in desperation, Swana, who recognized that she had been on the thief ship, could only come to Renee, but when she saw that Renee was terrified as soon as she approached, those in the know always snickered.

As a gold medal missionary, Kolos has a beautiful voice and a deep understanding of the doctrine, and the general mission is absolutely enough, but in the face of Kelly, who has more than 700 years of qualifications, for the Donglan people who want to verify whether this belief is helpful to the country, this wild elf who is inexplicably inferior to the wood elf nobles, is always a little unbearable.

"So, can you explain why the original single law is divided into two parts, what is the difference between the [law of God] and the [law of man], there are many overlapping places between the two parts, according to the overview of jurisprudence, will the duplication of legislation not cause confusion in the implementation of the law and weaken the authority?"

"Yes...... But that's what it says doctrinally. This is set by the Sleepless One. Definitely yes. ”

I was in a hurry to ask. Kross could only repeat the ideas in the book, which was enough for Cheng DΓΉ to preach, but this obviously could not convince the Donglan people, and in desperation, I shook my head, and I could only walk into the hall on the first floor that served as a temporary classroom again.

"Ahem, let me explain it if I can. I've actually had a good relationship with the Sleepless One, and I happened to hear him say that. ”

In the incomprehensible eyes of the crowd, I held out a finger on which the silver light of the law rippled, proving my identity as a practitioner of the law.

It's not impossible to practice the two abilities, but if you convert all the power of the Holy Light into the power of the law like Momo, I'm afraid it will be equivalent to starting all over again, but the two powers are quite similar and repetitive, and cultivating at the same time is simply a typical thankless task.

So, my status as a just knight. In addition to receiving the approval of Coros's "really a divine messenger", in the minds of others. But it's typically thankless.

But it was enough that I was qualified to explain the Law.

"Ahem, first of all, the difference between [God's Law] and [Man's Law], God's law is God's ordained, he only has thirteen felonies, all of which are recognized as unforgivable crimes, and they will basically not change, the crimes that can be judged by our law profession release conviction are only God's law, and the law of man is constantly revised and improved by the Church of God's Law, judicial power and sovereignty are always bound together, God's law can be applied anywhere the gods of order are concerned, and man's law can only be applied with the support of sovereignty, This is the primary difference between the two. ”

Other gods also have precepts such as "punish evil severely", "prohibit extravagance and lust", and "strictly prohibit lies", but except for their followers, the execution will be more or less discounted, and I, which is already a recognized crime, is a felony thirteen, and I am not worried about causing a backlash from other gods, local nobles, and royal families, and it has given the legal profession an evil deed that must be absolutely eradicated (it doesn't matter if others enforce it or not, but the just knights must carry it out).

But this does not mean that the two are in conflict with each other, on the contrary, in fact, the two are the same thing, the law of God is the bottom line of the law of man, that is, a crime is forbidden by the law of God, then the law of man can never be exempted. For example, the first of the thirteen sins, "Those who wantonly take the lives of others with selfish desires will be severely judged by the God of the Law, and even after death, they will be punished by swords and fires", and there is also a corresponding clause in the law of man, the first paragraph of the crime of intentional homicide: "Whoever intentionally kills a person shall be sentenced to death or fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, but if it conflicts with the later provisions such as legitimate defense and just war, the latter shall have higher priority." ”

The same crime, but with a tone of religious consolation in the law of God, the last seemingly superfluous posthumous additional crime, is actually a preparation for the future. However, in the law of man, there are cold laws and punishments, and there is no superfluity.

Renee was a little excited, and she seemed to see the mystery in it.

"In other words, if the law profession is only to carry out the laws of God, what is the point of making the laws of men?"

"Is it for countries and lords whose religion is the state religion of the God of Law, whose law will obviously touch the interests of the local nobility, and who are not afraid of being collectively boycotted or even banned from proselytizing?" Kelly asked thoughtfully, she had been in human society long enough, and she also understood the corruption and incorrigibility of that group of nobles, how could they possibly accept this kind of law that would endanger their rule.

I laughed, and this was also an expected doubt.

Indeed, in most places nowadays, the nobles only pay one gold coin for killing commoners for no reason, and in some places the royal family can even confiscate the assets of merchants at will. Our human law obviously violates their interests, and it is inevitable that it will be hostile and even boycotted at the beginning of propaganda, but if it is forbidden, it will be impossible, after all, our sleepless is the true god, and prohibiting the preaching of the true god is tantamount to directly rebelling against the entire order of the gods and gods, what do you think the sleepless people are working hard to ascend to the gods, not for this day. ”

"But there's no point in saying it's not forbidden."

"Therefore, someone needs to set an example, if I am a commoner and a merchant, on the one hand, I am regarded as a donkey, a horse and a slave, and on the other hand, at least I am regarded as a human being, I will choose where to live and work hard, in fact, there is no need to hesitate. And Brimstone Mountain City is the best example, a sufficient inflow of population and resources will inevitably bring wealth and power, which is needed for any territory, so the belief in the God of Law is extremely beneficial to the development of the territory, and what we need is just an example. ”

"So you found the country of Lan, Xiao Luo Lan, you actually cheated your own people, aren't you worried that after taking this as the state religion, it is very likely to be hostile to all the neighboring kingdoms? Have you considered the possibility of being extinguished before it rises? ”

Kelly frowned and said that her concerns were indeed very real.

"Of course, I thought about it. But won't the country of Donglan be hostile if it continues like this? You're already surrounded by enemies, and I don't think you're close to destruction anyway, so that's at least a good lifesaver. Moreover, if the God of Law is the state religion, and the example of Mt. Brimstone is used as proof, the rapid growth of the national power is predictable, and a large number of just knights and judges will greatly increase the defense force of the country, and it should also be able to receive the assistance of the city of Mt. Brimstone, the origin of the law. ”

"And if we still don't accept it?"

"It's nothing, just keep waiting. When the professions of the law are spread all over the world, and when the teachings and laws of the God of Law are widely recognized by the world, the accumulated resentment and contradictions will one day erupt. At that time, it was not a gentle abdication that awaited the nobles, the guillotine would be used until it was rusted with blood, and the gallows would be filled with dried corpses. ”

Kelly instinctively shuddered, as if she had seen that day coming, but Renee raised her doubts.

"According to the doctrine, it is also a felony to initiate war on our own initiative, so can't we unify the land of Arashi? Isn't that unfair to us? ”

"No, while it is true that the Law Profession will lose the power of the Law by taking the initiative to war, it is permissible to fight a just war, such as aiding an ally that is being invaded or recovering a territory that has been taken from it."

"Then who determines this justice."

The sad wind, who has been silently taking notes, asked the first question, and actually asked the key point at once.

"If the sleepless one, the God of the Law, has one vote, the ruler has one vote, the majority of the people has one vote, and all three votes are in favor of war, then the war should be just. And the Sleepless One has become the embodiment of justice, and his judgment should be just and acceptable to believers. ”

The questioner nodded and sat down, and the crowd asked new questions.

"I have a problem"

"Well, that's easy to say."

Originally, I was just going to talk about it casually, but some things could not be stopped at the beginning, and this lecture, which was destined to be included in history, lasted all day.

Coros, who had been a lecturer, became a clerk, and she buried herself in writing down what she had said today, but it was to be distributed to every believer, and I could foresee that soon the flower of the law would bloom even more abundantly.

Eventually, from lecture to debate, from debate to lecture, when the Marathon was over to teach the teachings, Renee and Kelly looked at each other and finally came to a final conclusion.

"We, the Duchy of Donglan, have preliminarily decided to recognize the belief in the God of Law as the state religion, but you, Roland, will also be responsible for helping to the end this time."

"Well, well, just because I owe you." Although he complained, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not hide from anyone. (To be continued......)

PS: In the process of repaying debts, let's strive for a 10,000-word update today. By the way, let's make the monthly pass and recommendation ticket more violent.

About the little squirrel of "I am a lich", it was actually my own pit, and later I found that the new outline was not suitable for this name, and it was too similar to "I am a lich", and it happened to be signed before 20,000 words, so I directly changed the title of the book and resent it.
