Grush closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows.

The desk in front of him was full of files, and he had officially joined the army as a judge in late winter, and he had only learned the hardships of the profession when he became a judge—limited to the Duchy of the Howling Winds.

Many adventurers and merchants chose to settle in Wende City and the Duchy of Sorrow, with Wende City being the majority.

Those who were already dangerous people chose to settle down, but their violent tempers did not disappear because of their choices.

If the lord was still there, then the order in Wende City would not be too chaotic, and there would not be frequent incidents of fights and brawls, but after he left Wende City and went to other places to do errands, there were suddenly more incidents of fights and brawls.

Although these things have nothing to do with him, they are basically managed by the police, but some things in the future will involve him.

It's a place where adventurers and merchants come together, and compared to the more oppressive and stricter Overwatch Town, Wynde City is now the 'City of Chaos'.

With those people arrive, something will follow.

The black market, the thieves' guild, and contraband are popular in the black market, although the black market in Wende City is controlled by the head maid, and there are some clear rules that are not allowed to be violated, but as long as they don't touch the bottom line, they can do anything.

Poisons, incomplete magic scrolls, and items can all appear on the black market, which means that 'death' is inevitable.

I thought that after the opening of the Coin Valley again, these phenomena would decrease, but it is true, when the first batch of adventurers and mercenaries set off for the Coin Valley in high spirits, the frequency of such things has decreased a little, but it still appears.

In troubled times, heavy canons should be used, but no matter how many times they kill chickens and monkeys, what those people should do or will do, at most it will only be quiet for a while.

According to the laws of the Principality, the punishment of the condemned no longer appears in front of people, but is carried out semi-secretly in the place of execution.

If you want to see it, you can apply, but the state itself will no longer use the 'death penalty' to intimidate civilians and make them understand that the majesty of the lord cannot be violated - that is barbaric.

This has led to many adventurers and mercenaries knowing that 'killing' is forbidden by the state, but they feel that as long as they are not discovered, those 'guards' will not continue to track down, so they still go their own way.

They are a bunch of lawless creatures themselves, and every year, month, or even every day, new adventurers and mercenaries flood the city, and their seniors will not warn them, but will bet on whether the newcomers will follow the rules here, and if they don't, they will be killed again.

Whether it's to other adventurers and mercenaries, or to the civilians here - outsiders who have lived here for a long time know that the civilians of this country are not to be messed with.

In just three months, Grush has presided over thirteen trials, and although not every one of the convicts was guilty of homicide, and it is possible that they were 'intentional injuries', there were seven homicides alone......

During the trial, he gradually understood why the head maid of Serena recommended him to become a judge.

Judges are the closest profession to the word 'justice', and they need to go through the files, read each case in depth, and analyze the case in combination with what they have seen and what they have not seen, and then they will judge the prisoner.

Judges have the power to decide the life and death of others, and a single sentence can make people suffer grievances, so they must be perfect and do their best to ensure their own justice.

Instead of relying on one's own blood, relying on what one sees with one's own eyes to decide a person's death......

Grush has never regretted it, but now he can't help but feel that he was really naïve before.

Can one person's actions change the perception of the whole world?

If it was the head maid, maybe she could do it, but he Grushh definitely couldn't.

What he did could give hope to the wronged, but it couldn't change the world in the slightest.

He could not impose his ideals on others, his cries could not reach their ears, and he could not get others to follow him and take back justice from the nobles that rightfully belonged to him.

He can't......

Because he's just an idealist, an idealist without any basis in reality – destined to get nothing done!

If he goes on like that, he can only solve the things in front of him, but he can't solve the things that are further away, even if he and his companions, the holy warriors who also belong to the Church of Justice, are scattered all over the world, trying their best to solve the evil things that happen in front of them, but they can't take care of every corner.

So he came here to get an answer.

But here he did not get an answer either, and the head maid told him that he could only find the answer himself, and perhaps the answer was already in his heart......

Unfortunately, he himself could not see it.

Opening his tired eyes, Grush looked at the file spread out in front of him, and sighed, stunned.

What exactly is 'justice'? There is no standard answer, and everyone's justice should be measured by himself.

But what was the justice he was looking for?

Pursing his lips, Grush silently collected all the files in front of him, got up from behind his desk, and walked out of the office.

He decided to go for a break, and instead of sitting here, he might as well relax and come back to the rest of the work.

There are still two days left before he will preside over the trial, and within two days he will be able to complete the analysis of the next case, and now he is too confused to continue to deal with it.

The location of the courthouse was in the original temple area, and Grush walked out slowly, and at a glance he saw the temple of knowledge next to it.

Looking at the surrounding temples, he remembered the layout of the city that Miss Edith had mentioned to him before, and he couldn't help but laugh a little.

In order to facilitate management, the old duke set up a temple area centered on the Temple of Knowledge and the Temple of Radiance, which originally existed in Wende City, and prepared to include all the churches that settled in Wende City, and all churches that did not accept the management would be expelled.

The old duke has that confidence, so Wende City has the current strange urban layout.

All the churches were gathered together, what kind of bold genius dared to do it, but under the suppression of the old duke, the churches slowly adapted, forming a completely different situation.

It was only after seeing the Temple of Knowledge that Grush suddenly remembered something that the old bishop had mentioned to him before.

It seems that the Church of Knowledge is going to be restructured, just like the Church of Wealth, except that the Church of Wealth is being transformed into a 'bank', and the temple of the Church of Knowledge is going to be transformed into a building like a 'library'.

The books inside will be opened, even the qualifications and prices for renting will be much lowered, some hidden knowledge will be put on the shelf, safely kept, and all other knowledge will be opened.

Everyone—yes, 'everyone' has access to the library of the Knowledge Church, as long as they can guarantee that they don't harm the books.

Even peasants were able to access libraries, which were normally accessible only to intellectuals.

This is also in line with the doctrine of the God of Knowledge, which allows the clergy of the Church of Knowledge to teach writing and arithmetic even for a small fee.

Grush stood in the temple area, looking at the temple of knowledge, and his heart was full of emotion.

He also hoped that the clergy of the Church of Justice would become judges, police officers, like the clergy of the Church of Knowledge and the Church of Wealth......

However, this is not possible, and the nobles will not allow it.

Once they became police officers and judges, the nobles were punished if they committed crimes, which the nobles were not allowed.

"Mr. Grush, the maid chief asks you to come over," said a civil servant, at ...... moment, trotting up to Grush.

Grush was slightly stunned, just now this civil servant came from another direction, not from the court behind him, that is, the head maid of Selina had something to summon him temporarily.

Confused, Grush followed the civil servant into a carriage and went to the town hall.

He met the head maid in the lord's office, and the first thing the head maid said when she saw him was:

"Mr. Grush, would you like to participate in a project?" ()
