Chapter 821: Double Blade
"The nature of the law? It is only an instrument of class rule, it is the embodiment of the will of the ruling class, and it is the means by which the rulers regulate all kinds of social behavior. ”
In a certain country in the world, any LL.B. will learn about the nature of law in the introductory jurisprudence.
Perhaps because the country is deeply imprinted by the hammer and sickle ideology, its definition of the essence of law is also full of class struggle.
"The law, the tool of the ruling class."
In that country, this is public opinion, this is orthodoxy, this is the final opinion, and even in the eyes of most legal scholars and practitioners, it is the truth......... But not all, at least, I don't think that's all.
Obviously, such an assertion will only become a reality after the emergence of the state and class, and when the social structure is not sound, for example, in a primitive society without written and systematic laws, those basic social norms are not laws?
And in this different world where multiple races coexist, the old legal concepts have been repeatedly attacked.
For example, the silver dwarf clan, they are very strange to achieve the equality of the whole clan, no officials, no chiefs, but even more strangely strictly abide by the rules of the tribe, then, under the premise that there is no ruling class, the essence of the classic class theory law has become a joke.
It's better to say that the ant-man clan of a minority race, all of them are born for the queen ant and serve the queen, but in fact, the ant-people have no self at all, they have successfully united all their wills into a whole, and under the premise that there is only one person in the whole race, it is difficult to say who rules whom, and it is common for the queen to be sacrificed.
For example, they are all undead races of dead people, and there are dragons with an even more bizarre social structure......
Such cases are not rare, in this world, the elves, the rigor and thoroughness of human society, the class nature of the aristocracy and commoners are the minority, and I don't know how many I have seen a social structure that is stranger than the silver dwarves.
It is obviously a joke that the theory of class will is still used as the legal basis of law under the premise that most races have not been established.
If this legal basis is still used, the refutation of the "evil law is also law" in the previous life world will become more and more intense, and it will even become impossible to solve at all.
Abstract theories may be difficult to understand, then, for example, if the tyranny of tyrants, the internal system of terrorist organizations, and the unspoken rules of the killer society are also recognized as laws, then the new force of law will become the most powerful weapon in the hands of villains and tyrants.
It may seem like an abstract theoretical reflection, but in fact, to interpret the essence of "law" is to define the concept of law, and to define the power of law is the source of the birth and development of the power of law, just as to define the Holy Light as "purification".
In Ash, who has both strength in will, his lack of rigor in his thinking is definitely a disaster.
If something goes wrong with the cornerstone, the superstructure, if not collapses, will sooner or later become crooked.
"Is the law merely the basis of rule? Can his social function of leading people to good and punishing evil elements be simply interpreted as the function of 'maintaining social stability'? Perhaps, that goodwill and social function are its true essence. ”
Eventually, on the basis of the world's root code, I abandoned the classical theoretical system that was once regarded as the "Bible" and put forward my personal understanding of the law according to the characteristics of this society itself.
"He should lead people to goodness."
From this moment on, the Ash Code and the code of a certain country are completely different things, "Evil law is also law? The dispute could not have happened from the beginning, and the evil law of the tyrant was removed from the code from the beginning.
"He should treat every offender equally."
From that moment on, the power of the law will only act because of the crime, and will not be deviated due to the identity and power of the other party.
"He is limited to the law of God and the law of man......."
When I finished defining them one by one, I found that an act that was spurned by human society in the old era had become the best explanation for my "law".
"....... would be bloody and primitive....... homomorphic revenge."
The noun may be a legal term, but its practical meaning is very simple.
"A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood."
The person who hurts, the person who kills, how many evil deeds he has done, will be treated the same, the eye-gouging person is gouged out, the murderer is killed, in the primitive tribal society, in most cases, it is the victim's blood relatives who carry out revenge, therefore, it also has a name....... blood revenge.
Because it was too barbaric and cruel, too cruel, it had long been eliminated by modern countries.
But perhaps it is precisely because this world is also too cruel and barbaric that in the end, the power of my law appeared in the world in such a carrier.
It deters the wicked in even more brutal ways, and even if they escape the trial during their lifetime, they will be punished afterwards, and no one is exempt.
It gives the victim the right to revenge, and when the deeds of the villains are placed in the sunlight, when the course of mortals is recorded in the Styx Hall Codex, the heavy crime will eventually turn into a noose that strangles him.
It gives the innocent and the weak the security they must have, because the heads of the thugs still hang high above the walls, shaking the choices of those who come after them.
It gives the Enforcer and the Guardian an unparalleled blade, a guardian of the weak and civilians, and a vengeful agent for the victims.
Obviously, this is extreme, very bloody, very barbaric, very unreasonable.
But in this cruel world, if modern laws are still used....... the "peacetime laws" that even the death penalty has begun to be abolished and bail can be paid for are the real fools who are not suitable for the times.
To take the simplest example, if I still use the jurisprudence of the old times as the basis of the law, then my just knights, even if they encounter murderous crimes, will be like the police of the old times, first collect evidence and testimony, and then send the criminals to court for a fair trial....... in a sense, they will even be inferior to the old police, because the power of rules is far more rigid and stupid than the system.
It is worth mentioning that the death penalty is one of the very few manifestations of homomorphic revenge in modern times.
"The murderer pays for his life."
This common sense in traditional/primitive societies has been denied by many countries, and the increasingly complicated legal code has given those who have unforgivable sins a chance to do evil again.
In a world of limited resources, this is too much of a waste of luxury.
"In troubled times....... the world is more chaotic than in troubled times, and this heavy code is naturally boundless."
It was only after I established the core of the nature of this law that a series of applications of spells followed.
But in any case, the law is still a force of order, an elemental force of this world, and it must conform to the rules of the elements while conforming to its own characteristics.
The power of the rules of order, the product of extreme order, is not just the power of law.
Great prophecy, wishing and other "reasonable" techniques are all used at the level of rules, how similar to the power of the law, their characteristics are also the same, the result of casting spells, either succeed in achieving expectations, or fail, useless.
As a result, unfulfilled wishes are distorted by wishing malice/kindness, and overly complicated events force the future of the Great Prophecy to be unfulfilled, so even if the Pope forcibly prophesies, it will be very simple.
The power of the law is also the same, the use of spells, will become the power of the enemy and the enemy, if the power of the law user wins, the spell is successful, if the sinner is too strong, those offensive spells will be weakened, binding spells will be invalid, and in the end it is a competition of elemental power.
The more cumbersome the application, the more it actually weakens the source, and the more simple and direct the application, the more powerful it is and cannot be distorted.
Eventually, when I decided to forge a sword, I finally achieved my goal in the most rooted, original way.
"Begin the trial, magic sword. Revenge, tooth for tooth, blood for blood....... life for life! ”
When the double-edged glyphed dagger appeared in mid-air, Cavins's body, under his surprised gaze, directly split apart, and I who laughed at him, my body also cracked and exploded at the same time. (To be continued.) )
