"I am the weapon spirit in Book of Laws, and I am also the Grand Judge of Griffin Territory appointed by Lord Claire. I hold the highest interpretation and ultimate authority of the law. With high law enforcement powers, all actions of you public officials must be carried out under my witness, otherwise it will not be regarded as the authority of Lord Claire," Horna explained seriously.
If Claire hadn't restricted its image from the beginning and made it more serious and formal when working, Horna would definitely have replied: I am your grandfather!
"What?" Daor took a few steps back in panic.
"Spirit of Laws!" Horna repeated it again, and then added, "Since I have been called out, it means that you have performed the oath ceremony. Now continue with the steps you just took."
"But don't lie. All this was done under my notarization. I also have the ability to detect whether you are lying. If you lie once, you will be responsible for the consequences."
"What kind of ceremony! Why should I listen to you!" Daor said, but his body kept retreating. He felt guilty and did not dare to continue the ceremony.
"Once the ceremony begins, it must end. There is no way to give up halfway." Horna said sternly.
But Daor obviously didn't dare to continue and turned around to escape from this place.
But as soon as he turned his head, he was blocked by a dark crowd. A closer look revealed that those crowds were all the villagers in the village who had just given a place to Broge and his family.
"Daor Law Enforcement Officer, don't leave in a hurry. It's not too late to finish the ceremony first before leaving."
"Yes, Master Daor, you just said that Broge's family will not receive compensation. Now put your hand on Book of Laws and say it again."
"You just have to say it once and we will believe you."
Broge also showed his big white teeth at this time and said with a smile, "As long as you put your hand on it and take the oath, and if Lord Owl says it's okay, then we don't want your twenty Gold Coins either!"
Daor Seeing that these mud-legged people dared to go against him, he just wanted to get angry, but the villagers were unusually united and took a step forward. They also picked up the shovels, shovels and other tools that they usually work with.
They now feel that Claire is standing behind them and supporting them. Now they are not afraid of Daor, the so-called law enforcement officer, and they also feel that Daor, the law enforcement officer, is on the opposite side of Claire.
Without the blessing of Claire's power, Daor's inner confidence was instantly drained, seeing that the villagers could no longer show the same aura of fake power as before.
This is inevitable, because Claire obviously cannot manage the entire Griffin Territory place, so he must delegate his power to those public officials.
Let those public officials exercise their powers vested in them on their own behalf to better manage Griffin Territory, and the decentralization of these powers will lead to corruption of the public officials below. This is inevitable. No matter how strict the censorship system is implemented, it will not help, and it will only be effective in a short period of time at best.
And this is also the reason why Claire wants to get Book of Order out. This is equivalent to taking back the devolved powers again. The power is no longer devolved to the hands of public officials, but in the hands of Horna.
Both judicial interpretation and law enforcement power have been transferred to the hands of Horna, and those public officials only execute the orders issued.
This is similar to how after humans develop to a certain level of technology, artificial intelligence develops to a certain level and can understand human laws and rules, and they have no selfish desires of their own, so they can make the most just judgments. Horna is an artificial intelligence created by Claire, and in this way, the phenomenon of power corruption can be effectively avoided.
There is no need to worry about Horna being too busy. Now Horna has no burden of the physical body. His body is Book of Order, transformed as a godhead. Horna will not feel tired, bored and other negative emotions, and the Horna that appears on Book of Laws is just one of his clones.
Book of Laws is a derivative of Book of Order. Horna can appear on any Book of Laws at any time. In addition, Order Divinity has enough computing power, so even if Book of Laws is opened in the entire territory at the same time, Horna can also split into multiple clones to solve cases.
Daor was forced back in front of Book of Laws step by step by the villagers. He looked at Horna floating above his head, and then glanced at the villagers who were pressing closer.
Daor plucked up the courage and shouted loudly, "Okay! Don't think I'm afraid, just swear the oath, I will definitely have no problem!"
I don't know whether Daor said this to the villagers or to cheer himself up. After saying it, Daor felt less nervous.
So in full public view, he put his hand on Book of Laws again. Horna saw it and said, "The ceremony continues, law enforcement officer Daor, please tell me your law enforcement steps."
Daor swallowed and became nervous again.
"I am law enforcement officer Daor. I came here this time to implement the plan for building a farmhouse issued by Nafu City. According to the law, a certain amount of financial compensation must be paid to the other party for demolition. I gave them twenty Gold Coins, so I feel that my law enforcement process is correct!"
"You fart! Those twenty Gold Coins were only given to us after we told you to report them to the lord." Broge immediately retorted.
"You're talking nonsense. This is what I originally planned to give you!" Daor also immediately retorted. Anyway, that happened before the owl came. The other party didn't know the specific situation at all, so why not let him say whatever he wants?
Subsequently, the two argued again, and finally it was Horna who spoke up to stop the bickering between them.
"Okay, I understand what happened."
Horna As soon as Horna said this, Daor felt secretly happy. It had only been a few minutes and there was no evidence, so the result must be favorable to him!
Then Horna waved his wings and landed on Book of Laws, putting on a majestic appearance.
He said, "Law enforcement officer Daor abused his power, occupied farmers' land and planned to make profits from it. He is now under death penalty."
"Death penalty?!" Before Horna finished speaking, before he could react, his body ignited a blue flame out of thin air, and then he was burned to ashes with a painful scream.
Except for the few public officials present who were afraid from the bottom of their hearts, the villagers all applauded.
After finishing dealing with Daor, Horna looked back at Broge and said, "According to the existing laws, you can now choose to give up your land to build a farmhouse, and then receive a compensation of five hundred Gold Coins..."
"Five hundred Gold Coins!" Broge and the villagers covered their mouths in surprise, and then felt angry in their hearts. That bastard Daor actually planned to be greedy for so much money!
"Or you don't accept this plan and you continue to live here."
"Can you still refuse?" Broge said in surprise.
"Of course, that's what the law stipulates. As long as you don't want to, no one can drive you away from your own land."
"Then we won't leave and will continue to live here." Broge smiled and closed his eyes.
