Chapter V: Supreme Judges

Sulphur Hill is a great place to be. This is recognized by the entire underground shijie.

If you want to make it clear what kind of place Sulfur Mountain City is, I'm afraid, you must first explain what kind of place Shijie is underground.

Exiles, that's probably the consensus of all terrestrial races.

The underground Shijie is a hollow area under the Ash Continent, its area is incalculable, and the terrain is even more complex than to measure, and it is said that there is a passage to the abyss of hell.

Initially, there weren't many inhabitants among them, but as the times changed, it became a gathering place for the deportees.

The elves have banished the dark elves, the dwarves have banished the grey dwarves, the gnomes have banished the wild gnomes, nearly forty percent of the orcs have been driven into this place by other races, even the mighty dragons have banished the murderous red dragons and the cunning black dragons here, and here are said to be the volcanic giants banished by the Titans.

Of course, the overlord humans on the surface are no exception, although they are exiled to the same kind, but the composition is the most mixed, witches, heretics, cultists, wizards, necromancers, revolutionaries, demon worshippers, scientists, it seems that this underground shijie has become their garbage heap.

Time has passed, and to this day, the underground shijie race is complex and cannot be counted, but there is one thing that is recognized.

Here, there is no order, the biggest fist, the winner is king, and the loser is slave.

Even in the chaotic chaos camp, this is the most chaotic, the underground shijie has been fighting for years, and the dungeon lords are attacking the city and fighting non-stop.

They plundered the territory, seized the grain, captured the towns, and turned the inhabitants into slaves, of course, the countries on the surface are similar, but due to the restraint of the Church of the Gods of Order and the Kingdom Council, after all, peace is the main theme, and the underground shijie, the land abandoned by the gods, has never ceased fighting.

And those who can survive in the chaotic dungeon, put on the ground, are not weak.

Hawkers,In the game strategy,Underground shijie is a high-level dangerous area that is only open in the middle of the game.,Players above level forty are only allowed to enter in a team.。

Most dungeons, due to the complexity of the ethnic composition, tend to dominate other races with one race.

The city of Sulphur Mountain is a little different.

This mountain city located on the edge of the Sulfur River has a short history, and it is only one hundred and three full, and in the eyes of the longevity race, it is just a flash of light.

And they have done what the underground lords around them have not been able to do for thousands of years.

There are no wars, no nobility, no oppression.

There is not even a ruling race here, the lord of the city, Adam. Although Han used to be a very famous hero, as a human being, he was alone as the lord of the city, and humans are considered a minority race here, and this city does not even have an aristocratic class as the ruling class.

And this guy, who is jokingly called the muscle in his head, is even more famous for having no interest in power and territory.

Unlike other dungeons with more than 10,000 regular troops, Sulfur Mountain City actually only has a few hundred honor guards and law and order, and the most powerful armed Liliang is the City Management Law Enforcement Brigade composed mainly of dark elves, referred to as the Chengguan Brigade, but the full number of people is only 800.

In the chaotic underground shijie, expecting peace and weakness are synonymous, backed by the sulfur mine, the weak defense of the sulfur mountain city naturally attracted the attack of other underground city lords.

But when a few wars are fought, there is no longer any need to look anywhere.

Cause? The fist is hard enough.

No army? In fact, it is not necessary.

Ain Medes, the ancient red dragon known as the Doom of Peron, lives in the sulphur veins behind Brimstone Mountain City, the evil dragon that once destroyed several human empires, but for some reason, has become the guardian beast of the city.

Adam. Han, one of the most famous heroes of our time, once killed the Emperor of the Undead and saved Shijie, even in the underground city, he was once alone, and knocked out a dark elf dungeon, where, there are forty or fifty thousand dark elves, hundreds of thousands of other races, and he himself is probably the most famous ten thousand enemies.

Legend has it that the Lord of the Eternal Night is the only demigod-level undead monarch in modern times, so Adam, who can defeat him, is naturally also a demigod, so Adam is also one of the strongest candidates in contemporary times.

The Great Sage Margaret, with the honorary title "Son of Heaven", and the Great Sage who sealed the Lord of the Night with Adam, is said to be an incredible being who can summon an entire army of angels on her own.

It is said that the underground lords who once attacked the city of Mt. Brimstone were 'persuaded to retreat' by a giant without even seeing the walls of the castle.......

It is said that as long as the triumvirate of Brimstone City exists for one day, Brimstone Mountain City will not be able to be captured.

In my system, these three guys are all super bosses of two or three hundred levels with perfect templates, not to mention now, even after three or four expansion pack versions, they can be regarded as super powerful characters, far from the few eighty or ninety levels around them, who have barely entered the legendary city lords can deal with.

And it is precisely because of this strong protection, and the absence of the existence of the oppressive class, that this place has become a pure land of chaotic underground shijie,

Force alone is not enough, the Great Sage, as the administrator, manages this place in good order, and as the Sleepless Judge of the Chancellor, well, it is me, and has single-handedly created the fairest and most just code of law in the whole of Ash.

As for Adam, as the lord of the city, most of the time he just has to be his old job, and it is enough to be a mascot who has nothing to do.

And by coincidence, I, who am quite familiar with the Big Three, am also one of the founders of Sulfur Mountain City.

When I was questioned by the chengguan before, I didn't lie, I am a good employee with a serious job, and I have a regular career as the supreme judge of Sulfur Mountain City!

Although most of the memories have become fragmented with the three deaths, the memories are irretrievable, and there are not many carriers needed for knowledge, and most of them have been preserved.

The legal knowledge of my previous life as a lawyer and judge made me ahead of this era in theory and experience, so the code and judicial system I formulated for Sulphur Mountain City have become a model of the entire underground shijie, and even the ground shijie has sent scholars to study and reference.

Racial contradictions caused by multiracial cohabitation? I copied Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" and engraved it on the town squares and city gates, and everyone who went in and out of the city had to read it, and that was only the first step.

At the legal level, I made racial discrimination a felony, then borrowed a series of racial conflict handling policies, and then used a few short-sighted fools to make an example, at least on the surface, Brimstone Mountain City achieved an incredible racial equality in the entire Ash continent.

And I know that as long as a rule is superficially recognized and recognized, and then runs for enough time, when the world has become accustomed to its existence, it will become true morality and law.

As an immortal, the last thing I lack is time and energy, and through years of subtlety, at least in Brimstone City, I have formed the same subconscious as everyone else.

The relatively harmonious ethnic relations are the cornerstone of the prosperity of the sulfur mountain city, and the next step is law and order.

Murder and robbery and other felons? In other dungeons, it was enough to pay money for murder, and many wealthy merchants and nobles did not treat foreigners as human beings at all. And in my case, in this city without nobility, there is no forgiveness of the death penalty, so under the heavy canon, the law and order are effectively improved.

Of course, the necessary violence is indispensable, and a strange Dark Elf Knights who were expelled from their homeland for their belief in the Light became the most important foundation of the security forces, and I, too, have invested a lot of resources to make them the trusted guardians of the citizens.

Although sometimes I regret it, because the chengguan troops are too well equipped and too strong, my daily tasks are becoming more and more difficult to do, and the frequency of being imprisoned is also getting higher and higher.

The most vexing clash of faiths in other regions? Hehe, it is indeed difficult to deal with other cities, because in the Ash continent where there is a true god, their rulers are often already believers in a certain god, how can they maintain justice after presetting their positions, and if they become the oppression of one side against the other, there will naturally be constant conflicts.

And among the city's triumvirate, the red dragon Assiskla believes in gold coins, and the city lord Adam. Han is very famous for his knowledge of the knowledge of the unbelieved, the sage of the Lord's faith in Adam

Well, that's right, the sage has been "secretly in love" with the brave for a long time, and the crush is known to the world, and Xiaohong, who has a crush on that piece of wood, can't stand it anymore, so we have two big weddings.

Of course, I don't deny that I have selfish intentions, except for the evil points that cause great chaos, it is the most pleasant to see Adam's stupid face that is about to cry.

Okay, digress again, let's move on to our dungeons.

The beliefs of the Big Three themselves are unreliable, and if I want to reluctantly say that I have faith, it is also the spirit of the legal system of the previous life, such as "let the criminals deserve it" and "let the innocent be protected by the law".

"Freedom of belief is the will of the individual, and preaching is allowed in the city, but no religious institution may use force, and those who violate it will be expelled from the city of Ibrimstone."

There are people who believe in demons, holy light, and mother earth, and there are countless altars and temples of all kinds, but as long as they oppress others under the banner of faith, they are also severely punished by the criminal law.

And when the other dungeons are full of intrigues, life-and-death political power grabbing, constant wars of faith between churches, and wanton plundering of the weak by the strong, our Brimstone Mountain City is extremely stable, with a sound legal system, high administrative efficiency, peace and order, and has attracted countless residents and merchants, making it more prosperous, and naturally becoming a so-called underground paradise.

Actually, it doesn't mean that this place is really good, it's just that the other dungeons are too chaotic, and it just sets off this place better.

And the dungeons and underground shijie, which are symbols of chaos, continue to let resources and talents flow into our city-state, so the sulfur mountain city is even more prosperous.

Even the Templars on the ground were amazed at the peace of this chaotic place, and sent paladins and priests to learn the scriptures, and some paladins were so shocked by the multi-racial coexistence that they were even willing to stay here to study the "Sacred Light's Gifts" while spreading the light of the Holy Light and infecting the "evil underground dwellers".

And these paladins and priests are what I hate the most as a lich, and sometimes, I can't wait to take off my mask and tell them that what you regard as the "Gift of Light" is the handiwork of an evil and chaotic lich, and that no one will collapse their faith because of this.

At this time, when I was arrested, this skin became my most haode barrier.

No one would have expected that the fair, infallible, and infallible Supreme Judge Sleepless was in fact the same person as the Lich Roland, who was always making trouble, and was even treated as a head in the water.

When I was president of the Supreme Court, I insisted on wearing a mask anyway, because I was doomed to not be able to maintain majesty because of the existence of this unreliable system of evil lichs, and as the judge of the scales, majesty and authority were paramount.

There is no code of authority and fear, just waste paper.

And at this moment, the majesty accumulated over the years has played a role.

Now, I am standing here, without saying a word, and the urban management brigade under the authority of many years is trembling, not to mention whether they dare to test the authenticity or not.

I turned and looked at Diana, the leader of the squadron.

"Big... My lord!! ”

Yes, my voice was trembling, and I was really empty.

I am the boss of their boss's boss, but I am definitely not just a higher rank than them, they are members of the Chengguan Law Enforcement Brigade, which is a subordinate agency of the Law Enforcement Department, which is a subordinate body of the Supreme Court, and I, the Sleepless One, am the Supreme Judge and President of the Supreme Court.

In the code I enacted, the Chengguan Law Enforcement Brigade, as a lower-level law enforcement agency, has no independent law enforcement power, and they can only obey the command of the higher-level organization, and if they want to carry out large-scale law enforcement actions such as "strike hard", they must report to the Law Enforcement Department, and the Law Enforcement Department must at least report to the Supreme Court.

And I, as the president of the Supreme Court, have not yet received the paperwork for filing!

"....... ultra vires?"

Of course, it is an act of ultra vires, the urban management headquarters that I blew up yesterday will start to crack down today, how can I have time to declare and approve it level by level, even if I want to declare, I must first sort out the application documents from the ruins, this is a big project!

I seemed to be muttering to myself, but Diana's face turned pale for a moment.

"No matter how ornate the rhetorical words are, the law enforcement power is the violence of the public power, and the law enforcer is the violent tool of the ruler, and if this tool has its own brain and acts recklessly, then this tool will also be scrapped."

This is my famous quote, and it is a warning on the first page of the workbook of every urban management officer.

It is estimated that they planned to attack first and then make up the procedure afterwards, and in the past, the Law Enforcement Agency and the Supreme Court would also turn a blind eye, but unfortunately, they did not expect my sudden appearance and was arrested by my superiors.

I just watched them quietly, the dark elves, who were originally swarthy, were already pale enough to compare with the undead.

Exceeding the Authority? Regardless of the consequences and the causes, the nature of the law enforcement forces' unauthorized actions is extremely bad, you can overstep your authority today to crack down, and tomorrow you can overstep your authority to besiege the City Lord's Mansion?

According to the laws of Brimstone City, the cheapest outcome for these guys who overstep their authority to enforce the law is to be expelled from Brimstone Mountain City.

The dark elves are in a desperate situation, if they meet other chiefs, they can be accommodating, and the aftermath can be big or small, the miracle creator in front of him, who turned the righteousness of the void code into a real liliang like holy light, he himself is the symbol of the code, and he has never heard of him having a precedent of releasing water and accommodating.

Diana, the captain of the city defense force, had a bitter face, but it was time to stand up.

"Could it be that after working hard for so long, the 'evil' dark elves have finally been recognized by the citizens, and they have fallen short like this? After leaving the city, I have to go outside to live that bloody and murderous day, how should I explain to my sister who trusted me. ”

The girl's red lips had been bitten out of blood, her purple eyes were full of tears, and she remembered the days when she fought outside in the past, and thought of the happy home and good life that she and her people were about to be expelled from with great difficulty, and the pretty face of the dark elf was full of painful distortions.

"My lordship is a decision I made on my own! If you want to punish me, please punish me alone! "The strong captain of the chengguan brigade threw away his dignity and knelt down to plead.

"Sister Diana!"

"It's not the eldest sister's fault, we're also for the security of Sulfur Mountain City!"

"yes, why punish us!"

The captain around them, the surrounding city management knights were excited, and some people had begun to look at me angrily, and it seemed that there was a tendency to become disobedience or riot, so

"Spell: Silence!!"

As my words fell, the inexplicable mana took effect, and in the void, the silver mallet fell, and the whole earth was shaken.

And as the silver ripples dispersed, not only did all the voices disappear, but the passionate and angry emotions of everyone also turned into nothing.

In this magical shijie, when the belief in the concepts of order and holy light can become the source of liliang, how can the belief in the code of law and justice lack the support of the supernatural liliang.

Although, when I was in the middle of the trial, the fourth soul emblem of the law seal of justice condensed, I was probably the most surprised, which undoubtedly shows that the code of justice that I created has been recognized by the roots of this shijie and has become part of the power of order.

The law is liliang, the words exist, the rules of this world are the laws, we are in charge of the rules and the code, and my words are the rules of this world.

This is, spelling.

A spell that combines law and magic, and although it is born from the mage's mantra spell and the priest's precept magic, as long as it meets the harsh conditions of use, it is much more powerful.

At this moment, I am adjudicating the case, these chengguan are the defendants, and this narrow alley is my courtroom.

When I say silence, all beings must be still and listen to my mantra.

The Dark Elves' innate talent for resisting demons meant nothing in front of my spell words, and their words were unheard, and their bodies and minds seemed to be immersed in ice water, and they chilled from their vests, and they calmed down at once.

Only then did they remember that what they were looking at was not only the Supreme Justice, but also a Archmage with bottomless strength.

His spell magic, which combined magic and law, has become a unique rule-based magic, and its reputation has even attracted the study of archbishops and sages on the surface, and the Supreme Court has become a holy place for the golden strong to practice the mysteries of spells.

The three advanced professions of the Knight of Justice, the Inquisitor, and the Spell Envoy that he founded are comparable to the Knights of Light, Cardinals, and Ascetics that the Templar Church is proud of.

"It's scary, my demon-resistant skin has been ignored."

"I can't analyze the level of mana, and I can't even feel the fluctuation of mana, but at least it's a sanctuary."

In their eyes, disobedience is tantamount to challenging the public power of the entire Brimstone Mountain City, even if they escape, they may not be able to escape from the hands of the Justice, and in front of the dark elves, it seems that they must be banished.

In the face of desperation, everyone lowered their heads, waiting for me to fall.

"My lord! For the sake of all my years of service to Brimstone Mountain, please punish me only one! With tears in her voice, Diana fell to her knees.

As soon as the respected female knight knelt, how could the other knights stand, so she knelt in front of her.

Oops, I was a little moved when I saw the deep sisterhood now.

In fact, Diana, the captain of the Chengguan Brigade, is also a legendary knight of level 81, and her absolute strength is still above me now, the reason why it is so unbearable is that in addition to the weakness of the heart, it is more about the role of the artifact.

The enchantment of this silver robe was done in my heyday, it was originally used to scare people, and later when I became a judge, it was used to put pressure on criminals, and after comprehending the spell, the sophisticated robe I was wearing at that time became a sub-artifact inexplicably.

[Sub-artifact; The Majesty of Justice (Bind)]

[Defense: 10 points (Steel plate armor also only has 5 points of defense, and the defense of cloth armor robes reaching this level is outrageous.] 】

[Special effect 1: The self-trial of the sinner: make the offender feel weak and guilty, and as time goes by, it becomes more and more obvious to fall into a state of fear and helplessness, the heavier the crime, the more guilty, the better the effect, and the innocent person ignores the effect.] 】

[Effect 2: Judge's Iron Mask: The wearer's charm is constant at 100, and the effect against charm, detection, and illusion spells is +20.] 】

[Effect 3: The wearer condition is not enough to open it.] 】

[Effect 4: The wearer's strength is not enough to turn it on.] 】

[The weight of the artifact curse mallet: The wearer must have the identity of a judge and a law enforcer, and perform their duties fairly, once the law is broken for personal reasons, the robe will turn into an unquenchable divine fire, destroying the wearer's soul and body. 】

["Please exercise your power carefully, the fall of the gavel determines not only the rise or fall of the individual, but also the majesty of justice and justice - the sleepless of the Supreme Court. ”】

In the Ash Continent, the equipment above the sub-artifact is so troublesome, the effect is single and powerful, and it will inevitably come with a troublesome artifact curse.

This robe is like this, the almost inevitable increase in spell effects and intelligence bonuses of normal robes is useless, but it has several extremely powerful special effects attached.

One of the special effects saved me a lot of things during the trial, whether it was a serial murderer or a black one. Dao giant, as long as there is a trace of conscience, in front of me, it is a chicken that has shrunk into a ball, and the second effect is that it is equivalent to directly ignoring the investigation of my true identity.

As for the artifact curse, you can't break the law and can't lie, but it's not a big deal for me, first of all, I'm a single, how can I bend the law for personal reasons.

Taking a step back, if you want to deceive people, wordplay misleading is enough, and lies that can be debunked at any time fall to the lower levels.

"I never lie, but that doesn't mean you can understand the true meaning of my words, don't blame me for misunderstanding." The curse of the sub-artifact didn't work for me, but the power was real.

Now, the law enforcers who believe in the Holy Light have overstepped their authority to enforce the law, and the guilt in their hearts has turned into invisible shackles and burdens under the power of the sub-artifact, pressing them to stand upright.

I estimate that just standing there, the pressure I put on the other party will not be lower than that of Long Wei, and it will further deepen with the trial, but if I continue to force it now, I can't see the girls peeing their pants on the street.

That's pretty much it, it's really urgent, the dogs can jump over the wall, and I don't plan to drive them out of town.

So, I turned away and left a sentence.

"I just came to drop by and didn't see anything. Tomorrow I will let your captain come and make up the formalities. ”

As soon as the words fell, there were cries of joy and thanks from behind.

"Lord Xiexie!!"

And I had just turned the corner, and the elves had collapsed, and some of them were already crying together in their arms, celebrating the crisis, but under my mask, I was smiling.

"The Sleepless looks scary, but he's actually a good person."

"It was scary! Momo felt like she was about to suffocate, and Sister Ana asked Momo to lean in. ”

"Dead girl, don't touch it, so sexy, go find that Lilith. Milan goes. ”

The eavesdropping gadgets I left behind, but the mischievous wind brought their talk to my ears.

"Listen carefully to the complaints of subordinates, it's also the responsibility of the boss, I don't know who said bad things about me, what if the little shoes are worn by the wrong person, this chick is called Daisy, right? Really good at talking. I'm certainly a good person. So, I was in a much better mood and decided to punish me a little lesser, but right away, I knew that my mood was going to get worse again.

Because, on that street corner, my faithful maid Eliza, had been waiting for a long time.

"Master, have you changed sex? Will they be spared? ”

"The law is dead, people are alive, the law without flexibility and humanity will sooner or later force the anger of the heavens and people, their own actions and motives are not guilty, but the procedure is illegal, and the exile is too much, look at how proper Uncle Ben's disposal is, the killing stick is raised high and falls gently, this is the way of the superior as an official, learn more,"

"Truth?" Crooked mouth in disdain, the poisonous maid, my most faithful dogleg No. 1, once again ignored my words and smugness.

"It's boring to play to death at once, haha, today is really a bumper harvest, not only is the daily task a great success, but the handle and favor of the urban management brigade are in hand, heh, little girl, look at how I clean you up tomorrow, and dare to take away the food in my Bao's mouth."

Of course I remember the chick named Diana, the wicked woman who snatched Po's bones from me.

Tomorrow, when you report to the Supreme People's Court, I will let you know what is called the boss's troubles, what is non-violent sexual harassment, and what is the office is miserable!

Kicking you out of town? The dark elf paladin who believes in the holy light is probably the only one in the entire underground shijie, so I am not missing rare toys and useful tools.

Eliza, on the other hand, sighed helplessly.

"Sure enough, I really can't expect your conscience, you're really bad at home."

"No, I'm a good person! One day, I'm going to turn evil points into righteous points, and then try to do good, then I can have a good name! ”

In a sense, this is also because of the messy system that forced me to do bad things to earn points, but how to have a good reputation for doing bad things, I even have to wear an iron mask to work

Forget it, it's really unbearable, still

"It's all that damn mask and robe, it's still an artifact suit, so that the beauties are either scared half to death when they see me just now, or their feet are trembling and scared to pee, I'm all old, and I don't have a girlfriend."

"No, it's not the mask and the dress that's wrong, it's your head, the undead lich looking for a girlfriend? ,Hehe,This joke really can't make people laugh.,By the way.,It's said that when you were a human being.,It's also always a bachelor.,Although the reality is cruel.,But please don't escape from reality.。 ”

"Hmph, I'm not afraid to scare you, there are still girls who say they want to marry me."

"Oops, which family's necrophilia is so heavy no, I understand, it must be an ignorant little Lori, give a candy and promise to marry, but it's so unpopular that you need to lie to the little Lori to satisfy your dignity, it's too pitiful, Oh, master, weishenme, your face is so ugly, is Eliza right again."

"Bastard Eliza! I...... I want to be a good person, too! I want a girlfriend too! ”

So this time, the residents of Sulphur Hill City were fortunate enough to see their Supreme Court President burst into tears.
