The draft code presented by Leiden has been sorted. The first part of the code is related to the legal system of Daxia.

It clearly and in detail explains the theme of "Shado, the pioneer of Daxia, has the indisputable right to rule Daxia and will inherit it forever."

It also includes the relationship between Daxia and Netheril. In short, Daxia recognizes that it is a part of Netheril, but relatively independent, and recognizes the Seventon Council as the sole ruler of Netheril.

In addition to the legal system, the Daxia Code also makes detailed and clear provisions in many aspects such as criminal, civil, trade, marriage, inheritance, and trial.

Many articles look very familiar to Shado, and he is indeed familiar with them, because this is what he has pointed out to Leiden before, and Leiden has also accurately understood his thoughts and reflected them in the details of this code.

For example, many articles were originally in the form of "someone did what, what is sentenced".

But now, the original specific numbers are replaced by ranges, such as "how much is sentenced for stealing financial within a certain range".

This may weaken the authority of the judge, but it also makes the law clearer and conducive to stability.

For example, the law on child protection, which had never appeared in Netheril, now appears in the Daxia Code.

And many legal loopholes that could be easily found by the eyes of Xia Duo, a time traveler, rarely appear now.

Until Xia Duo finished reading all the detailed provisions of the code, he did not find many omissions. Of course, loopholes are indeed useful, but there is no need to be more detailed, because details themselves mean revealing loopholes.

In his hometown, isn't there a saying that "the way to get rich is written in the criminal law"!

With the experience on Earth, Xia Duo must have set up many bottom-line provisions. If there is a situation of exploiting legal loopholes, if it is too much, then you can't blame him for not saying it in advance.

He will also explain this when training territory judges later.

...

After reading the detailed provisions of the code, Xia Duo traced his memory in his consciousness and reviewed these provisions several times. After that, he briefly gave Leighton a few suggestions, and then said:

"I am very satisfied with the code. The last few points I mentioned have been revised. Let me have a look, and then prepare to preach to the people!"

Leighton took the parchment that Xia Duo handed back and said respectfully: "Yes, sir!"

"That's it, you are busy, and you can contact me at any time if you have anything!"

"Yes, sir."

...

After leaving the Government Affairs Office, Xia Duo did not go to repair the magic network, but returned to the Tower of Time and randomly found a general alchemy laboratory that no one used on the public floor.

The code of the Great Xia Territory has been basically completed. In addition to the original plan for Leighton to preach, he also plans to make a physical code and place it in front of the altar in the center of the territory's altar square, so that the people of the territory know the law, abide by the law, and respect the law as a god.

On Earth, Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations, had its king create the first written code of law discovered in later generations, the Code of Hammurabi, and engraved it on a black basalt column.

Shado didn't know what King Hammurabi felt when he made the code stone column, but he was very excited now.

This means that his thoughts as an Earthling will have a profound impact on this magical world, which is not something that can be compared with the "Development Manual".

Although the "Standard Development Manual of the Great Xia Territory" also has Earth concepts injected by Shado, Netheril is already in the development period at this time. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Without Shado, they may not find a suitable development method.

But the code is different. It must be very forward-looking, otherwise it will easily fall into a chaotic situation where the law is not applicable or the order changes overnight.

There is no doubt that the legal system on Earth is much stronger than that of Netheril. How can a mere Netheril compare with the crystallization of social science accumulated by more than 10 billion people and thousands of years?

Even the elves do not have a legal system as complex, strict and huge as the one on Earth.

…

Such an unprecedented code entity naturally needs materials that match it. The genuine Xia Duo is going to use fine gold to make it.

Of course, it is impossible to use fine gold completely. It is expensive for one thing, and the Tower of Time does not have so much, so fine gold alloy will do.

But now, what he wants to make is not the genuine product, but a practice. After all, there are still some contents in the code that need to be modified and adjusted, and even if it is a genuine product, it needs to be sampled first.

Directly ordered the tower spirit to transfer all the iron materials from the material management office, and when he saw the specific size of these iron materials, Xia Duo immediately praised his practice of making samples in advance.

No other reason, it is too little!

Originally, he was going to make a rectangular block at least one person tall, with the full text of the code written on the front, but now he found that the Tower of Time was actually short of iron.

Of course, it is not impossible to make the rectangular block thinner, but it would give people the feeling that it would lose the heaviness and authority of the code.

In his hometown, the ancients cast tripods to record important events. Netheril did not have the habit of using tripods, but monuments, pillars, statues, etc. were common.

It’s just that the Nether people are more accustomed to using stone rather than metal.

Shado was also accustomed to it and felt that metal was more reliable, but in fact, with the existence of magic, even stone can have properties similar to metal.

Since the Tower of Time does not have enough iron, there is an iron mine in Savile Territory, but it is unknown how long it will take to temporarily mine and smelt it.

It's better to use stones.

"Stone?"

Sha Duo ordered Taling to return the iron material, then took out a chair from his portable space, sat down and thought slowly.

It can be achieved by using craftsmen to quarry stones and even engrave the text of the code. Of course it will take a long time, but what Xia Duo thinks is, since he has the idea of ​​​​creating a magical civilization, how can he completely use ordinary means to create it!

What about magic? Where does the magic reside?

Even using magic to transform the mud embryo into stone, Xia Duo felt that it was not possible. He always felt that something was missing and it was still too ordinary.

After thinking about it, he realized that what he really wanted was a magic item that could be used as a code and also had some special abilities!

So what capabilities should the physical code have?

Shock, suppression, protection, movement, or conveying true meaning and assisting memory?

After some thinking, Xia Duo gradually came up with an idea, but how to do it still required more careful consideration.

After thinking about it, he took out the only Saluk witch statue stored in his portable space. Such a statue had been buried deep underground for countless years. When it was discovered by his subordinate Jabas, it still had some magical power left. .

If you change its shape, wouldn't it be a natural physical code?
