Chapter 204: The Free City Constrained by Freedom

The literate citizen looked at the notice board in disbelief, not missing a single word.

In the end, he was so angry that he was shaking all over, and the other illiterate people were even more confused.

"Sir? Sir? What's written on this?" a woman asked worriedly.

One of the muscular men also asked, "Yeah, didn't you say you could read it out loud? Why are you just reading it by yourself without saying anything?"

An old lady asked fearfully, "What does it say? Is it serious?"

"Serious? Haha..." The literate people laughed in anger, "This is simply an unreasonable law!"

After saying this, he tore down the notice in anger, turned around and shouted: "What new gods! New laws! How can slaves and women be equal to men!"

The people stared at him with wide eyes, their ears terrified as if they heard the whispers of a devil.

Although he didn't say much, just these few words disturbed everyone's thoughts.

【A new god?】

Are women equal to men?

Slaves become civilians?

"What a joke! Saint Siya should always follow the Holy See!" The man screamed hysterically: "Only the Sun and Moon God can grant us freedom!"

"Don't have too many delusions!"

People are even more curious about the content of the announcement. Is it really as scary as he said?

Even the gods have changed!

Captain Qi happened to pass by and witnessed this scene, so he walked up and questioned him.

"Are you dissatisfied with the laws and treaties established by the City Lord?"

"Yes! Not only am I dissatisfied, I'm also extremely angry!" The man shouted as if he had found a punching bag.

"Not only will I curse the City Lord, I'll also curse the Sun God..."

Swah——

Before the man could finish his words, Captain Qi chopped off his head with his sword.

He certainly knew the contents of the law in the announcement, and he also knew that the guardian deity descended upon Saint Siya was [Lord of the City].

At the same time, the outlines of other laws were also written by Her Highness Rose, and most minor matters were revised by the City Lord.

It will be implemented today. As the captain of Saint Siya [Hurricane Knight], he must eradicate the voices of opposition.

Of course, this was also what the City Lord meant. Captain Qi said solemnly, "From today's announcement, Saint Siya will strictly enforce the new laws and regulations."

"If anyone is dissatisfied with the previous agreement, they can leave Saint Siya on their own. If anyone speculates or acts inappropriately, they will be killed!"

Before most people knew what was happening, the other party was killed, and even the cause of death was unclear.

"Captain Qi..." an old man asked in a trembling voice, "What's written on it? We can't...read..."

The old man subconsciously avoided the topic when he heard the latter part. After all, he was afraid of angering him.

Captain Qi then said seriously, "Someone will be here to explain it, and we'll also be going door to door tomorrow to spread the word."

"I have something important to do now, so I'll take my leave first."

Qi ordered the guards to post a notice and drag the man's body away, and comforted the people to wait patiently for the explanation.

They need to go to other places to post notices and maintain order. With the introduction of new laws, it is inevitable that some vicious people will take the opportunity to cause chaos.

He must nip these people's evil thoughts in the bud.

People were talking about it, and what the man who had just died said was enough for them to discuss for a whole day.

A quarter of an hour later, the city lord, Walkup Cornforth, took the stage to speak about the new legal treaty.

Captain Qi didn't understand why the city lord had to go on stage to explain in person at first, but after he knew about the new god Boreas.

Everything makes sense, and there is indeed no one more suitable to explain this kind of scene than me.

Based on the listening of the people of Sansia, the city lord Walkup Cornforth expanded from the main city, separated it from family control, and adjusted the legal changes.

As well as education and teaching, all children in Sanya must go to school when they reach the age of five.

Normal literacy skills are required before the age of nine.

The age of adulthood for both sexes is no longer nine, but sixteen, and both sexes must learn.

And the teaching is free, no tuition is charged.

Any slave in the city of Saint Siya, as long as they reform themselves for fifty years and believe in the god of freedom [Boreas], when their faith reaches a certain level, the god will personally pardon their slave status.

Nobles were not allowed to kill civilians at will in Saint Siya City, but the killing of civilians was still a matter of reservation.

After all, not everything can be changed at once, and Qiangwei retains this principle when writing.

If the nobles were told not to kill commoners, the common people would rebel, and the identities of the two would be reversed.

There is no difference between changing and not changing. As for other criminal laws, they are all written down in the criminal law.

After that, Sansia had only one patron saint, the god of freedom, Boreas.

The people looked at the free city that the city lord Walkup Cornforth mentioned.

It is indeed a city of laws of freedom with countless restrictions.

"I didn't expect you to do such a good job these days." Zhiyi praised while picking up the copy of the legal treaty.

"Aren't you worried at all about the people rebelling?"

Qiangwei said lazily, "This isn't something we should worry about, but isn't this exactly what the city lord wants?"

Qiangwei took the document from Zhiyi and said, "Shengshiya is one of the branches of the Sun Moon Cult with the largest number of followers. If the introduction of new laws leads to public outrage and rebellion, he can purge all the followers of the Church in one go."

"No matter how you look at it, he's not losing out. After all, Sansia welcomes outsiders for free, regardless of their past experiences. That's why it's called the Free City. Most homeless people, discriminated red-haired people, and other non-human races can find temporary refuge here."

Qiangwei fiddled with the tea pet on the table and poured tea for Zhiyi: "Instead of trying to convert the old stubborn people in the city, it would be better to drive them out and recruit new believers for yourself."

Zhiyi took the tea, took a sip, and asked curiously, "Are you so confident that they won't fight?"

"They don't dare." Rose said with a calm face, "At least the Church doesn't dare at the moment. There will be a ceremony next month. If nothing goes wrong, Arminus and Artemis should descend to the mortal world together. Oh no..."

Qiangwei scoffed, "The divine realm has changed. The place they're in is no longer considered the divine realm. Besides, they're not stupid. They've already guessed that other gods are beginning to guide humanity."

"It's not enough to just rely on the believers to win over the current situation. They also know that human greed is endless."

Zhiyi sighed and said, "Although the Holy See is large, the people are not united, and their faith is also not united."

Rose shrugged and said, "So, how could they miss this opportunity when they knew the truth?"

"That's right." Zhiyi put down the tea in her hand, stood up and left, saying with a smile: "The banquet will be the day after tomorrow. I look forward to your performance."

Qiangwei was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhiyi to respond to her like this at the end.

Qiangwei also responded with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. We will be back."

At night, the entire Saint Siya City was eerily quiet, and everyone was discussing what the city lord had said in the afternoon.

Alfred also remained silent when he heard this.

"Your Highness Rose is moving too fast. What should we do next?"

"Lord Sun God."

Arminus and Alfred walked out of the moonlight and looked in the direction of Inques.

He said calmly, "End the competition as soon as possible and find an opportunity for me to talk to her. We must talk to her before the Saint Siya Law is implemented."

"Otherwise, we originally planned to evacuate this place, but we didn't expect such a change to happen."

Arminus closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then turned into smoke and disappeared.

Leaving behind a sentence: "Don't worry too much, we are not the ones who are really panicking."
