Chapter 129: Revision of the Law (3)

The nobles who were still 'high-spirited' just now were silent at the moment, and even their eyes were still on the thousands of civilians who might rush over and tear them apart at any time.

Even with the magic ornaments on their bodies, the nobles did not dare to let up in any way, because the sight of those 'untouchables' was too terrifying.

After staring at the cowardly nobles for a few seconds, the maid snorted softly: "If you don't have any opinions, then I'll continue?"

Several of the nobles' lips moved, but when they looked at the people around them, they saw that they didn't seem to be moved, so they swallowed the words that were almost in their mouths.

The maid laughed again, "Where did I just go? Oh, yes, Seth and I decided to rewrite the laws of the Grim Wind. ”

"If we want to ask why Seth and I made such a decision, then we can only answer, because the existing law is so unreasonable, and it is prone to a lot of misjudgments and missed judgments. ”

"In this way, the good people who did not commit the crime are wronged, but the criminals are still at large, is this reasonable? No, it is not reasonable!"

"Think about it, if it was a premeditated crime, but the offender was acquitted for legal reasons, what would happen if such a dangerous person continued to go unpunished?"

"Mistakes must be corrected! Otherwise, when more and more people make mistakes without being punished, there is a risk that people will take them for granted and take them for granted!"

"But, is this normal?"

The maid looked at the burning eyes in front of her, she shook her head slightly, and said, "No, this is definitely not normal!"

"I'll give you an example, if there's no one directing traffic at an intersection, but the rule I set before was 'you have to be fined or do compulsory labor for crossing the road', if someone crosses the road and you don't get punished, will they do it again next time? When outsiders come to Winder City, they don't know the rules, and they don't explain to them, and they see someone crossing the road, what do they do?"

"Think about it, how crowded the streets were before the traffic rules were clearly laid out, and what kind of chaos was there in the crossroads?"

Listening to the maid's softly whispered description, the people of Wende City and people from other places remembered the former Wende City and the traffic chaos in other cities, and couldn't help but shudder.

They have become accustomed to obeying traffic rules and even taking the initiative to maintain traffic order, remembering the 'traffic chaos' of the past, the embarrassment of not being able to move an inch, and even things they never want to think about again in their lives.

Merchants who come to Wende City from other places will feel very uncomfortable when they go to other cities after they have tasted the sweetness of 'orderly traffic'.

They often complain about why the local lords don't try to put the traffic in order, but they also know that their complaints may always be just complaints.

Because the lords of other realms would never spend a lot of money to build roads, they may have had similar thoughts, but when they learned how much it would cost, they dismissed such thoughts.

For this world, the Sad Wind Collar is a real outlier - it seems out of place in this world, but it can make people's lives more comfortable, and people who live here tend to be happier than people in other places.

At least they don't have to worry about starving to death, and they don't have to worry about being punished for accidentally offending the 'noble lord' with a word.

Traders don't have to worry about being deprived of their property at will, and soldiers don't have to worry about having no one to take care of their families and not be able to live if they die in battle.

This is an undeniable 'place of order', and a large part of the reason why Wende City is so orderly today is due to the high degree of order it has.

Although it is located on the edge of the 'Wild Lands', the order here can surprise even the clergy from Lolandal.

Although living in 'rules and regulations', there is no one who is idle and panicked and moans without illness.

People do not necessarily have 'unbridled freedom', but they can have 'limited freedom', and the latter is more suitable for this orderly world than the former, in which civilians do not have to worry about being deprived of their property and their lives for no reason, because they are restricted at the same time, others are also restricted.

Whether it is a noble lord or a bandit, it is not easy to take anyone's life.

And all this is built on 'order'!

Law cannot represent order, but law is a means used to maintain order and stipulate order, and a sufficiently perfect law can establish a highly ordered society.

"Maid Lord!"

In the silent square, a voice suddenly sounded, especially abruptly.

Everyone looked over, and they saw a paladin.

The young priest, who was also part of the study group, anxiously tugged at the corner of his companion's coat, but the paladin shook off the young priest's hand.

With confusion in his eyes, the paladin clenched his trembling hands and asked loudly, "Master maid, can the law represent justice?"

As soon as these words came out, many people fell into confusion and contemplation, and Bishop Pelonandi glanced at the young paladin deeply, his lips moved, but he didn't say a word.

It was a huge square, the square was crowded with people, and the paladin's voice was not loud enough for the whole square to hear, but as time passed, the square slowly fell into silence again.

In the silent square, everyone looked at their maid in silence, the difference was that the commoners had hope in their eyes, the merchants had hesitation in their eyes, the nobles had sarcasm in their eyes, and the soldiers had determination in their eyes, and most of the adventurers did not care, but some of them showed a contemplative look.

The maid shook her head slightly, "No, the law cannot represent justice......"

Suddenly, many civilians widened their eyes and held their breath, they couldn't understand why the maid master would say this, the law of Wende City...... Doesn't that mean 'justice'?

Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil, isn't this still 'justice'?

The nobles scoffed, and then, out of nowhere, they began to whisper sarcastic sarcastic to the chief maid on the stage.

The clergy looked at their companions in a daze, their eyes slowly darkening, and they stared at the ground in despair.

"It's true that the law can't represent justice, butβ€”"

"Good enough laws can bring justice!"

The paladins suddenly looked up, the voices of the nobles stopped abruptly, the commoners laughed, the merchants fell into a stupor, and the adventurers' eyes lit up.

Law...... Can it bring 'justice'?

"'Justice' is an ethereal thing, but there is something that does exist. 'Justice' can be divided into individual justice and group justice, everyone has a different understanding of 'justice', a thousand people may have a thousand kinds of 'justice' in their hearts, and some people's 'justice' is conflicting with each other, so how to make laws?"

"The law is a dead thing, and the formulation of every law needs to be observed and verified for a long time, and cannot be changed at will, if it offends the 'justice' of others for the sake of one person's 'justice', then can the law still be called 'just'?"

"The formulation of laws requires a 'standard', and this standard cannot be biased, so the law does not necessarily represent 'justice'. ”

"But the law can bring justice!"

"A sufficiently sound law, taking into account all aspects of the law, can bring 'justice'. ”

Speaking of this, the maid suddenly took a deep breath, "That's why Seth and I decided to revise the laws of the Grim Wind Realm!"

"Anyone! I mean 'anyone,' including me and Sethβ€”"

"As long as a mistake is made, no one can escape the punishment of the law!"

As she spoke, the maid's eyes glanced at the nobles who were in a cold sweat.

"This is the real 'justice'!"
