"...... So, here's what the law says about forcing people to take an oath, what do you think, Sura?　I would like to hear what the elder Sura has to say."

"Hmm. Yes, that's right. I think it's a good idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Really?　Good. It's a relief to hear you say that, Sura."

No, no, no. But I've thought about it. I think these in particular will be important rules. Restrictions on the use of magic in the city and telling the truth in court. I think it's very important that these rules are firmly established as promises.

　Under the guidance of my brother Kyle, I have laid down a new set of rules, a set of general laws, for the new Barca Street.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I show it to Sura and ask his opinion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems to be a good one from Sura's point of view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of these principles in particular is very important.

　Apart from the things that are necessary to maintain order in the city, such as not to kill, harm, or steal, I was taught something else that I should include in this book.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That was the restriction on the use of magic in the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because it seems that there are already some problems in this small group of countries.

　Here and there, there appear people who can use magic by using [naming], and these people use magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Among them, the most problematic ones are the [construction of roads] and [construction of walls].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Regardless of whether the land is yours or not, you can easily build large walls and roads with magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a cause of much trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course it is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you find that a wall is built on your land, or a road is built on your land, anyone would be angry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, roads are also a defense issue for a country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be a terrible thing if a road is built to make it easier for the military forces of other countries to move around on an unimproved road.

　In building the new Barka town, we have decided to set conditions to prevent such problems that may occur later on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this reason, in the conditioning of the blood wedge, we have specified the magic that can be used in the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only daily life magic such as [Drinking Water] and [Cleaning], and magic with limited effects such as [Strengthening] and [Meditation] can be used in the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If this condition is attached, we hope that it will not cause problems even if the number of magic users increases.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Another condition is "to be honest and tell the truth at the trial.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is what brother Kyle strongly recommended when he heard about my blood wedge magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He told me that he is convinced that the pre-conditioning will surely be inadequate once it is actually put into operation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how much thought and effort I put into the conditions, he assured me that it is impossible to make them work universally and to put them together in a way that is easy to remember.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the blood wedge is implemented, there will surely be more conditions that will come up later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, if you ask me to redo the blood wedge for everyone in the city each time the law is revised, it would be impossible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, it was Kyle's opinion that what we should do is not to make them follow the detailed rules, but to make sure that they can be judged properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The condition for this was to tell the truth in the trial.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This would be a short sentence that anyone could easily remember, but it would be universally effective.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It will work even after the law is changed, without changing the conditioning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought that brother Kyle must have had a very hard time in the trial when he came up with this as soon as he heard the story.

"But that's not all, is it? It is also interesting that the blood wedge is used in two stages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. I've thought about it a lot. I thought it would be better to change the conditions of the blood wedge for the city dwellers and for the mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. If you are a mercenary, it would make a certain amount of sense to follow the orders of your superiors. But for ordinary people who are not mercenaries, it is unclear to whom the higher-ups are referring. I think it is a good idea to separate them.

　Conditioning on the blood wedge I've prepared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I assume that there will be more than one subject to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sura will look at the itemized list of them and mention them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are two kinds of blood wedges this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One is for the ordinary people who live in the city we have been talking about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other was for mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, they are more like my private army than mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These soldiers may go to war at the request of the Orient, or they may work to protect the security of the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I thought that there might be a problem with the "do not harm" condition in such a job.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is bad in many ways if you cannot use your power when the time comes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I decided to divide the conditioning into two levels.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The conditioning for civilians and the conditioning for soldiers are different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of the conditions are more relaxed than those for civilians, while others are more restrictive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Obedience to superiors, for example.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Soldiers can do more than civilians, but they are severely punished when they cause problems.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The presence or absence of this will make the people in the city feel more secure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sura had checked the conditions for the soldiers in detail, and they were accepted as there seemed to be no particular problem with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, since Sura's opinion is not the only one, I will ask others to check it later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this way, the new Barca town was steadily getting ready to receive the new residents.
