122. Ready to go
Today's Buck Bookstore closes a little earlier, and before the sun sets in the evening, it hangs a sign that closes.
According to the agreement with Quentin, the seven went to the Moonlight Church and carried out the identity authentication of the United Church.
With Quentin here, the process has become a lot easier, skipping a lot of unnecessary processes.
Because the approver is Quentin himself.
From then on, they were the outboard members of the United Church, acting as hidden guardians beneath the surface world.
In the future, when encountering treacherous incidents, or in the process of dealing with treacherous incidents, there is no need to hide one's identity timidly, and you can even directly apply for assistance from the church.
In addition, it also has permissions that ordinary people cannot touch, such as the right to read some files, the right to investigate special events, etc.
The level of these permissions increases as their rating increases.
Normally, as long as the editors have handled enough special incidents, their ratings will rise.
In some cases, the United Church will even appoint some external editors with high internal evaluations to be the person in charge of special events in a certain area, and enjoy the same law enforcement authority as the local church.
Of course, as external editors, their identities are not disclosed to the public.
So on the surface, there is no official identity, and only some local high-level officials, or church members, know their true identity.
When there are enough people, the church is certainly more willing to consider its own people.
After all, no one wants to divide their power to outsiders for no reason, even if they are nominally outsiders, they are under the jurisdiction of the United Church.
But sometimes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is really difficult to control.
Nor can the United Church easily punish such people for trivial matters, because their use is obviously greater than their disadvantages.
Therefore, the highly-rated editors can also be regarded as local aristocrats hidden behind the scenes.
After all, it would be strange if the local magnates knew that there was such an existence with law enforcement power and special abilities in the city where they were located, and they would not compete to win over and express goodwill.
As a result, this kind of upper-level connections and privileges that the editors do not have on the surface are derived.
In order to curb similar situations, two unspoken rules have gradually developed in the United Church.
One is that when rating one's own people, it is easy to give it higher, and there will be a situation of "pressure score" for external editors.
The judges and the jury are all their own people, which is to be expected.
The other is that it is not necessary, and it is not easy to appoint an external editor to become the person in charge of a certain region.
The reason is still that it is not easy to monitor.
People don't go to church every day to check in and report, and abuse of authority is more likely to happen.
Let's take a simple example.
A person with special abilities and law enforcement powers is walking on the road, and there is some unpleasant misunderstanding with ordinary people, and the other party suddenly slaps you in the face.
What would you do?
If you choose to slap him back and send him to the official law enforcement department to receive a verbal education, this is completely in line with the rules.
If you choose to beat him into a pig's head, or even just cripple him, or kill him, this is against the rules.
You know that even if you kill the person in front of you, speak disrespectfully to yourself, keep greeting your own mother, and spit in your face, nothing will happen.
The church does not severely punish its own appointee for such a trivial matter.
After all, you are more useful in existing, and if there is someone in the local area who can restrain you, you will not appoint an external editor to become the head of the region.
You still have thick phlegm on your face, will you really follow the rules?
The above is just a very small example, the probability that human nature will follow the rules in an environment without constraints is infinitely close to zero.
Therefore, even when I joined the United Church, there was a very high-sounding Q&A process, for example, I would sincerely contribute to the maintenance of world peace and the well-being of the party.
But as we all know, it's just a formality.
Even if someone really takes that process seriously, it is concurrent from the heart, wanting to maintain the justice in their hearts, and having a jealous and hateful character.
However, in the research data of the church, the kind of people who talk about justice and jealousy all day long are often out of control and violate the rules, and the limits are much greater.
Because such a person can be seen from his words and deeds that he is more extreme.
With the other party's thick phlegm on his face and being constantly greeted by his mother, he will basically "punish the rape and eliminate the evil" without accident.
It's actually nothing, normal people do that.
But such a person is more likely to uphold the principle of "eliminating evil" and implicate a series of things.
For example, the body of the person who was eliminated was hung on the city wall to expose the corpse to deter other people, or in a fit of rage, kill a gangster organization, causing a series of murders with great impact.
Then other people's relatives came to the door to ask for an explanation, and another mouthful of thick phlegm spit on his face.
Then he continued to kill.
By the way, dig out some mistakes in the past that others have sinned to death, so as to comfort their righteous hearts.
At this point, it is basically difficult to finish.
The local people's hearts were completely out of shape, causing countless private chaos incidents.
Because of his special status, the local magnates want to curry favor with him, so they have to finish up for him, right?
At the end of the day, it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the group violates the rules and deceives the superiors and subordinates.
In this way, a large number of people were involved.
From top to bottom, it will be messed up because of this.
The Intramuros came parachuted in to control the situation and rebuke him.
He will also say that he is just for the sake of justice.
There have been many such examples in the past.
And the reality will be more complicated, it will not be as simple as someone spitting on you and greeting your own mother, and the consequences will be more dramatic.
Therefore, when the church appoints a special person in charge, there is such an unspoken rule, and outsiders cannot believe it.
In other words, the human heart, the human brain, cannot be trusted.
The human heart cannot be tested, and this is something that most people know.
As for the human brain, countless past facts prove that not everyone has this thing.
And the church itself, whether there are the above two things or not, the important thing is that they can be supervised, and they will go to church every day to clock in and go to work, and it is difficult to do such a thing.
Believers staring at the church.
The church checks and balances the kingdom.
The Kingdom admonishes believers.
It is normal for the vast majority of regions in this world to check and balance each other's forces, and this is how we have achieved a good balance today.
And giving too high a rating to those external editors with special powers is obviously upsetting this balance.
Because the higher the rating, the greater the power, and it is difficult for the church to refuse requests such as applying for the title of a person in charge.
In the case of trying their best to "press the score", everyone can rate it to that extent, which means that the contribution made can only be greater, not just the people who saved a city and a pool.
If you don't give authority, it shouldn't be justified, right?
It is precisely because of the existence of this unspoken rule that although the group of Buck Bookstore solved a fourth-level peak abstract source event, everyone on the other side of Wang Cheng was rated as a second-level person.
If you want to continue to level up and get more, then go and keep taking on missions and really contribute to maintaining world peace.
That way, when the church gives you escalation or authority, you will be more courageous and carefree.
After Nie Yuan was appointed as a second-level member of the United Church, he took one more step and joined the process of the Moonlight Church.
With Quentin here, it was very simple, and it didn't take long to finish.
As he requested, Quentin made him join the Law Enforcement Department, where he took up a false position.
However, he was not given a law enforcement medal, which is equivalent to not giving him the right to enforce the law, although Nie Yuan complained verbally, he did not take it to heart.
He knew that this was normal, unless he really knew it in a certain church and clocked in to work every day, how could he let himself be an outsider to enforce the law on behalf of the Moonlight Church.
After all the links were completed, Quentin also told Nie Yuan about the functions and authority of the second-level personnel.
He also opened up some archives that matched their own level, and also focused on introducing them to the list of tasks that can be consulted in every city-level church.
If they want to level up, or exchange for some precious items within the church, they should go on quests and solve treacherous events.
After Nie Yuan and the others figured everything out, when they returned to Buck's bookstore, it was already late at night.
They were also interested in the information within the United Church.
Because whether you want to recover quickly or exchange for some rare alchemy materials, you can achieve it by doing quest upgrades.
However, they were not in a hurry to get involved, because they had already promised Lilian that they would go to the royal city together, and they did not know when they would leave.
And just like that, a week passed.
Lilian's manor is finally moving, and a big move is starting to happen.
A cart of miscellaneous goods was tied to the wagon, and as the vanguard, they set off in the direction of the royal city.
And Lilian herself, within this week, made the final arrangements for Rui Eucalyptus City and completed the transfer of power.
She led her guards to Buck's bookstore.
No longer disguised, open-minded, to a group of seven people, make a formal invitation.
Invite them to step on their chariot and go to the royal city together.
Goal, supreme authority.
