Chapter 428 Returning Home in Another Identity (Part 1)
Alvin looked at the Elf God who spoke with some helplessness, his face full of speechlessness.
In the Blue Star era, the development of law has gone through thousands of years.
From the officials of the Xia and Shang dynasties of the Chinese nation to the Legalists of the Spring and Autumn Period, it has been common practice to rely on the rule of law to reward and punish, and even to conduct macro-control at the government level.
But on the main material plane, the creatures here are accustomed to a social form where power is supreme.
The rules of society and the management regulations of the city are all decided by powerful professionals.
Therefore, it often happens that a new city lord will overturn all the laws of his predecessor after taking office - for example, the new city lord of Huiyao City, Xiuman, has done something similar.
It is actually normal for the laws of the main plane to develop into this state.
After all, those high-level beings can indeed destroy you at a physical level at any time.
But for the Elf God at this time, this logic is no longer applicable.
The Elf Courtyard is destined to become a city where humans and gods live together, and among the current elven pantheon, the most powerful one is the legendary schizophrenic goddess Angharreth.
As long as a few more legendary figures join the Elf Courtyard, I'm afraid this mentally ill goddess won't be able to control those guys.
Therefore, attracting those "weak ones" who can abide by the law is actually the only option for the current elven pantheon.
But after all, the impact of the subsidence is still there, and those "weak ones" will definitely keep their distance from the Elf God.
This relatively fair bill is particularly important.
To put it bluntly, it means putting shackles on the gods so that the mortal elves who can behave themselves can join as soon as possible.
Only in this way can we speed up the restoration of faith of the elven pantheon.
After sorting out his thoughts, Ivan continued:
“In my opinion, those who participated in the formulation of the law are not only mortal elves, they also have another identity, that is, the residents under your governance.
You can call them citizens or civilians, but no matter what you call them, their identity as citizens cannot be changed.
So how can you make them believe that Corellon will not make a sudden decision to cause another extinction of all life here?"
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Just as Corellon was about to take a nap, he was choked and started coughing violently.
He opened his eyes and looked at Ivan with a frown.
However, the latter seemed not to notice Corellon's gaze and continued talking to himself.
"Therefore, only by letting them participate in the improvement of the bill can we reassure these newly joined elves to a certain extent."
"But what if some evil-minded mortal elves use legislation to carry out some conspiracy and intrigue?"
The elf god asked again.
This made Alvin turn his head and take a closer look.
The elven god who asked the question was an elven girl with a quill in her ear and unconventional clothing, but she looked very fragile, and looked like a taller version of Lal.
But this one is obviously much smarter than Lal's low IQ goddess.
Ivan gave her a smile that he thought was harmless, which made the elf girl feel inexplicably chilled.
“The design of the bill is not simply divided into civil, criminal or industry categories.
We can design a fundamental, principled bill before enacting all laws, and then use this set of laws as the foundation and basis for other laws - this is the concept of the constitution.
And the framers of the Constitution are all of you here.”
"You speak too quickly... Besides, what's the difference between this and having all the laws made directly by the gods?"
"Hmm... that's a big difference. What's your name?"
&34;Alathrien Druanna, mysteries and writing. &34;
The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt a little relieved.
It sounds like these clergy positions have nothing to do with bards - no, why should I care about these...
"Okay, Miss Alathrin, don't worry, I will slowly explain the difference."
Trying his best to shift his gaze away from the elf girl who was not dressed conservatively, Alvin slowed down his speech and spoke word by word.
"This constitution drafted by the Elven God needs to clearly define the country - er, race, it can't be a country -
The constitution stipulates the fundamental system of the elven community, such as the principles of the system, the organization of the regime, and the basic rights and obligations of the people.
The key to making the mortal elves feel at ease lies in the firmness of institutional principles, the inclusiveness of the organization, and the clarity of their rights and obligations.
To put it simply, it means allowing mortal elves to have the right to participate in politics and government affairs - the right to participate in politics and government affairs together with the gods.
This would provide them with a better guarantee of life and property safety than Corellon’s guarantee.
So the way to allow them to participate in politics and affairs of state must not be to change the Constitution.
After all, they don't think about issues from the perspective of racial justice like the gods do.
Then, they can be invited to participate in administrative regulations concerning urban order and laws concerning combat professions or business.
This is also a way to grade the effectiveness of the law and the rights. After all, even the most omniscient and omnipotent gods can be careless. "
La Bellas, the eternal observer of the elves and once praised by countless believers as "omniscient and omnipotent", felt an inexplicable discomfort;
But the elf girl who called herself Alathrin frowned at this moment, as if she was thinking about something.
"Effects and hierarchy of rights ..."
She muttered to herself in a low voice, repeating the knowledge that Ivan had just described.
As a goddess whose divine power is already very weak, Alathrin plays a somewhat awkward role in the elven pantheon.
When it comes to arcane knowledge, both Corellon and the former Shahanni are far superior to her.
Those two are professional war maniacs. Ever since they were high elves, they have been the objects of admiration and worship of the elven wizards.
If it was writing... La Bellas's infinite hard drive had already recorded almost everything that had happened in the history of the elves. I could only come up with some pretty handwriting to make the believers happy...
Therefore, this also indirectly made this "goddess of writing" lose the opportunity to accumulate faith.
But now, she felt an urge within her.
Although it was still unclear what the "bill" described by humans was, Alathrin felt that this was an important opportunity to transform herself.
After hesitating for a while, the weak elf girl was about to raise her arm to ask if she could take on the role of drafting the bill when a soft but powerful voice sounded at the door.
"The acting leader of the Second Cult of the Northern District of the Gray Haze Forest, the native of the Elf Courtyard, the Moon Elf Philothir, greets the Elf Gods!"
