Chapter 467 This is not only the life of a poor man, but also the majesty of the law!

Looking at the ring in Arad's hand, the wizards present felt a little strange, but they still took it as they were told.

Ivina put the ring on her ring finger according to Arad's instructions. After inputting a small amount of magic power to activate it, her consciousness seemed to sink into the endless deep sea.

In a daze, Ivina felt as if she had forgotten something, and then waves of shouts rang in her ears.

"Secretary Officer...Secretary Officer!"

Ivina opened her eyes suddenly, and she was surrounded by seven or eight poor people in simple clothes, looking at her with surprise on their faces.

"Lord Affairs Officer, are you awake?" The person who spoke was an old farmer.

"Secretary officer?" Ivina hesitated for a moment, her mind still a little confused, but she quickly remembered that she had passed the selection of the parliament and became an officer in the eastern territory of the kingdom.

Today was the first day he took office. He was inspecting the territory with the townspeople, and then volunteered to help everyone farm. In the end, he was probably too tired and fainted.

It's strange, given my physical condition, I shouldn't be like this...

Ivina frowned, but before she could think more about it, her doubts were dispelled by the enthusiasm of the townspeople. She quickly gathered her emotions and started her life as an affairs officer!

In the first week, Ivina did not do anything rashly, but spent all her time in contact with the townspeople to understand the current situation of the village.

Just like other recovered kingdom territories, everything here exudes an atmosphere of conservatism and dilapidation. The local lord who often oppressed the poor was hanged from the crooked neck tree at the top of the city just a week ago, leaving only

There is a group of farmers who are illiterate and have only been farming and hunting all their lives. They are in sharp contrast to the vibrant and ever-changing city of kerosene.

Moreover, there are not a few local people who devoutly believe in [Ella]. After hundreds of years of propaganda by the church, the people have a strong defense against wizards - this is based on the fact that the musketeers have solved the local nobles who oppressed the people and will

The result was the result of using all methods such as suing for land division and attacking local tyrants.

Her mission is to dismantle the faith of these people and free them from the old-era life of not having enough to eat and not having enough clothing to wear.

Ivina deeply felt the weight of her responsibility, and the first thing she did was to ask all the people in the territory to stop growing wheat!

After all, food prices have now reached the lowest point in history. With magic bread, it can be expected that it will be difficult for the kingdom's wheat prices to rise back to their original levels for a long time to come.

In fact, had it not been for the fact that the Parliament was purchasing grain at the price of one copper, the wheat now would have been worthless!

So it must change!

After Ivina visited, she soon learned that the local hanged viscount owned a brewing manor, specializing in brewing a unique blue fruit ale, which had been selling well among the nobles before.

In view of this, Ivina immediately called several winemakers from the winery and carefully asked whether this kind of blue fruit could be grown on a large scale and what the approximate output would be. After getting a satisfactory answer, she started

She took the first step in her village transformation plan - to change the original wheat planting to blue fruits during the autumn planting this year, and to build more wineries.

Ivina believes that the citizens of the kingdom who have entered the workshops and received higher salaries will never be as simple as eating a few pieces of bread. This kind of blue fruit ale has a unique taste that cannot be found in other places. This is exactly what it means.

Their advantage!

Moreover, the price of wheat is very low now. They can take advantage of this and obtain enough raw materials for brewing without spending much money!

Ivina's idea is undoubtedly a good one, but it has met with spontaneous resistance from a large number of townspeople. No one knows whether planting so many blue fruits to make wine can be sold, and whether the expected profits can be obtained.

If it fails, wouldn't everyone starve to death?

The townspeople who have been farming for generations are not very willing to make tentative changes. Being able to take back the land from the nobles has made them very satisfied. No matter how low the price of food is, at least growing wheat can give them a living.

eat!

Regarding this, Ivina did not waste any words and tried to persuade them one by one. Instead, she directly spent a lot of money to rent out all the fields and made a grand promise.

"Everyone does what I say. If you make money, I want 70% of the profit. If you don't make money, all the losses will be mine!"

With the guarantee of real money and Ivina's promise, the strategy of changing crops was reluctantly implemented.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Ivina even specially invited elemental wizards who are proficient in farming to use magic to fertilize the land, eliminate insects and increase production.

Ivina's bold and radical strategy has undoubtedly achieved very good results. She transformed a poor village into a blueberry ale production base. Everyone in the village participated in it and was responsible for everything from planting to brewing to sales.

In all aspects, Ivina also successfully passed the assessment and became the local mayor!

However, the girl soon discovered that after becoming the mayor, the troubles not only did not decrease, but actually increased. Ivina was almost too busy to stop, and there were all kinds of weird or weird things that required her to do every day.

decision.

Today, a farmer's camel was stolen, and tomorrow, two villages are fighting over water sources...

These are only minor problems. The most troublesome thing for Ivina is that a certain official wizard had a dispute with someone in the tavern and killed a town citizen with magic!

According to the law of Parliament, the murderer shall be sentenced to death or imprisonment for more than twenty years depending on the severity of his behavior!

The special thing this time is that the murderer was a wizard and belonged to the school of a great wizard. Both the newly recruited clerk and the village chief were trying to persuade her that it was just a poor man who died. There was no need to do it because of this.

Just judge a wizard for a trivial matter, offend a school with a great wizard, and ask the other party to spend some money to settle the matter.

The wizard is the master of this kingdom, just like the noble masters in the past. He also possesses powerful magic, and his value and status are far beyond that of a poor man.

"No, no, a wrong trial will gradually destroy the trust that the Parliament has finally built among the civilians, making more wizards bold...thus disintegrating the order of the entire kingdom!" Ivina said firmly!

.

This is not only a question of who has higher value and more important life, the poor or the wizard, but also represents whether the majesty of the kingdom's laws has been lost!

In view of this, Ivina took matters into her own hands and arrested the person...Trouble also ensued. Many wizarding schools criticized and abused her for going to war against a wizard just for the life and death of a poor person. Some members even proposed to expel themselves.

The identity of the mayor.

In order to cope with these harsh accusations, Ivina was exhausted mentally and physically, but she still withstood the pressure. Finally, she was recognized by the parliament. She was tried in the royal capital and sentenced to fifteen years of forced labor and was compensated with a large amount of comfort.

gold.

Although Ivina feels that this punishment is a bit too light, she also understands that it is impossible for the other party to take his life. At least enough solatium can save a family.

With these achievements, Ivina was quickly promoted to become the mayor of the Steel City.

Then her incompetent and long-lost brother came to the door and begged her to open the door and do something in this year's office clerk examination so that she could be successfully elected.

Ivina looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Where did you get your younger brother?

…

At this moment, outside the examination room, all the answer sheets have been sent to the conference room, where they will be judged and corrected by the eight great wizards.

The previous basic questions are okay, they have standard answers, and they only need to consider right and wrong. The following application questions are different. There is no fixed answer. They must evaluate whether the other party's decision-making is effective. It is highly subjective.

There was endless discussion about various strategies.

For example, a great wizard admired Monroe's answer sheet very much. This kind of vigorous and ruthless approach to the enemy was not suitable for being an administrative officer, but it was still very good as an investigator.

The issue that caused the most controversy was naturally the issue of punishment for wizards who killed poor people. The eight great wizards almost showed a split.

The amount of resources consumed to train an official wizard is not a small amount. It is necessary to select those with magical talents from among the people in the territory, and after several years of learning and drinking the source of magic, there is less than a 40% chance of promotion.

Not to mention relying on magic, a wizard alone is equivalent to dozens of labor and combat power. In every aspect, he is much more important than a poor man, and he is even less likely to die for it!

"The kingdom is the kingdom of wizards. How can we judge a wizard because of a poor man? In my opinion, according to the standards of the wizarding land in the past, a fine of twenty is enough!" the great wizard Sanchez said with a sneer.

He believes that as the kingdom's affairs officer, one must understand this, and those who make judgments or even severely punish wizards must carefully consider their abilities.

"Why don't you take a look at this answer sheet!" Raphael didn't mean to make any excuses and directly handed over an examination sheet.

Sanchez curled his lips and took it. In any case, the value of a wizard was far beyond that of a poor man. After casually glancing at it for a few times, Sanchez frowned involuntarily.

This answer sheet did not judge the question of whose life was more valuable, but from the perspective of maintaining the majesty of the laws of the parliament, it was believed that if the matter could not be handled impartially and the wizard was easily let go, then

It will have extremely negative negative impacts, damage the trust that the Parliament has finally built up among civilians, and even cause similar things to happen frequently...

"Whose answer sheet is this?" Sanchez pondered for a long time before asking.

"It's a witch named Ivina." Raphael replied briefly. "I think her answer sheet is very good and should be the first one this time!"

Several great wizards nodded repeatedly after reading the answer sheet. Ivina gave relatively reasonable answers to most of the application questions, and her style was very consistent with the previous decisions of the council.

Or maybe the other party gave a similar answer because they specifically understood the various strategies they implemented in the kingdom.

Being able to think about the last question from the perspective of upholding the law is already a step above others.

Even Sanchez, who advocated a lighter punishment, could not say anything against it.

While Raphael and others were intensely discussing each test paper, Lin En was watching how the formal wizards who had been pulled into the magic field would use to deal with the various questions they had just answered.

question.

How many people have wrong intentions, and how many people can stick to their own principles.

Some things are much harder to do than just say them!

Vittorio, who was also invigilating the exam, said with emotion. "Thank you for being able to convince the [Arcane Society] to use the small universe in a place like this!"

Lin En smiled and didn't reply. After all, it was the first selection test for the parliament, so naturally it had to be taken seriously.

Not to mention that the kingdom is now filled with a large number of spies from the church, and there are also many internal opponents. The selection of senior managers must be cautious.

The principle of this magic is somewhat similar to dreaming. The magician will be in a state of blurred memory in the magic field. It has no effect on the great wizard for the time being. Official wizards also need to use the ring of secret magic as a medium.

The rest of the poor people don't need to spend so much effort. They can leave it to the psychic wizards to solve the problem with a dream guidance spell.

Compared with taking an exam while conscious, the answers measured by this method are obviously more credible. Everyone will truly face their own choices in a dream, basically eliminating the possibility of lying.

Of course, this is not a once and for all measure.

After all, people will always change. Maybe the other party can maintain the original intention in three to five years, but in the longer term, there will always be people who can't resist the temptation brought by power. By then, a relatively complete relationship will need to be established.

Just supervise the reporting system.

In any case, he tried his best to do his best in this election test, and even secretly added some ingredients to expand the brain's computing power network, and then he made an unexpected discovery.

Among the seventeen wizards who participated in the exam, there was one person who was particularly special, and that was Monroe!

Zhi Nao couldn't decipher his mental fluctuations at all, which surprised Linn. You must know that even Harrov, Vittorio and others couldn't resist Zhi Nao's mental power deciphering, and Monroe was just a formal

Just a wizard!

Does he possess some kind of strange treasure, or is someone providing him with some kind of shelter...

Information about Monroe couldn't help but pop up in Linn's mind.

The other party belongs to the White Dove School that was destroyed by the church. Together with Ivina, he followed the Wizards Mutual Aid Association to the City of Fire Oil. His performance in the wizard academy was mediocre, even a bit poor. On the contrary, Ivina's performance has always been very good.

good.

Zhi Nao had no problem deciphering the girl's mental power, but because the time was too short, there was no way to pry into her memory.

Lin En pondered for a while, it seems that people need to pay more attention...
