Chapter 1431 Good and Evil Are Bounded
Li Kun thought Duan Cheng’s statement made sense, “The key to the two tasks is still on the gems. Unfortunately, the communication device cannot be used in the fairy tale world, otherwise we can find out the situation in Moon City in advance.”
The key to the two levels of completion tasks now is Gem City and the other in Moon City. In seven days, if you go to Moon City, you will basically give up the first task.
"You have to think of a righteous way to enter the castle," Yan Jiayu said: "If you sneak in, you will definitely be chased and beaten."
"There is any news about recruitment in the castle," Xu Huo said: "The fresh vegetables and fruits sent to the castle every day should also be a channel."
"This is a solution, but it's a bit time-consuming." Duan Cheng nodded. The key is that they cannot directly replace these people entering and leaving the castle. If they want to get in the team of these people, they have to establish good relations with the residents.
"I didn't expect that one day I would have to find a job in the fairy tale world." Li Kun sighed.
"Aren't you bounty hunters?" Yan Jiayu said: "Don't you have to follow other people to catch thieves during the day?"
"This premise is to master the information about gems and thieves." Duan Cheng glanced at her.
"There weren't three thieves last night," Yan Jiayu said naturally: "If you catch the thief who broke into the castle, can you enter the castle openly?"
Li Kun and Duan Cheng looked at each other and felt something was reasonable.
However, there is uncertainty. After all, according to the information they inquired before, those players who brought "thieves" and gems were unable to enter the castle.
"At least that man broke into the castle last night, he must have brought something out. Even if it wasn't the gem before, other things would be stolen." Yan Jiayu said confidently.
"You are planning to arrest people too?" Duan Cheng asked Xu Huo.
"Operation separate," Xu Huo said: "We have a performance at night. We have to prepare things during the day. If we can't catch the players from last night or the vendor who can't act as a delivery vendor into the castle, this is also a preparation. Maybe the king will want to watch a circus performance from other places."
Although I think this possibility is very small, and even if I succeed, it will probably take most of the pass time, Duan Cheng and Li Kun have no objection because there is no loss for them. If Xu Huo's road is really done, they just need to pretend to be members of the circus and follow them into the castle, which saves a lot of trouble.
The final decision was made to buy items as planned, Yan Jiayu and Duan Cheng went to hunt down the players last night, and Li Kun went to find a job.
The four of them separated on the street. Xu Huo followed the map given by the people of Gem City and bought a cart in advance to place the purchased items. In order to make the performance at night look more reasonable, he bought some dolls, plush toys, windmills that children often play with.
Although the residents of Gem City during the day have already been involved in normal life, the center of the topic is still the thief from last night. Xu Huo listens while walking, and from time to time he will stop and talk while buying things.
"Why have so many thieves come in and out recently and even break into the castle? Could it be that there are bad people in the castle?" Xu Huo asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, the residents who heard it laughed, "The criminal would never be able to hide in the castle. When he committed a crime, his body was marked as a criminal, and everyone could recognize it at a glance."
As for how they saw it, they were vague, but this vagueness was not because of intentional concealment, but because they took it for granted to "distinguish criminals at a glance", just as they could see at a glance whether the person standing in front of them was a Gem City or a foreigner.
"Will the thief escape outside the city?" Xu Huo said again.
The people of Gem City also had the same concern, saying: "If you escape outside the city, you cannot be punished."
"Yes," said someone else: "Those who have committed sins cannot enter the city again, and the things that have been thrown away will never be found."
"It's good to keep the criminals out of the door," the residents were good at comforting themselves, and soon smiled again on their faces, and said with longing: "The City of Gem has always been so peaceful."
Xu Huo pushed the cart to the next place again. Here he met a vendor who had been to Moon City and asked if the escaped criminal would go to Moon City, which would bring danger to Moon City.
Vendors obviously have this concern, because the laws of treating criminals in Moon City and Gem City are different. Although the final consequences of the crime are all executed, after the new king of Moon City ascended the throne last year, some "criminal acts" were abolished, such as accidentally entering someone else's house, accidentally trampling on someone else's flowers or whipping animals.
Especially when whipping animals, the vendor seemed very angry: "Animals are good friends of humans. If they backfire on their owners, there must be a special reason. How can they beat them randomly!"
Note that Gem City has only two concepts for animals. One is poultry, which is specially raised for food, and the other is a livestock that is half-pet and half-worked. The vendors are talking about the latter.
As for other snakes, insects, rats and ants, they are generally only available in the wild. People in the dungeon world have the same views as those in the outside world.
From this point we can see that Gem City has clear standards for good and evil, and no one can cross the line in the middle.
Of course, when it comes to this, I have to talk about children. In fairy tales, children will always do things that violate the rules because of their innocence. Even if they receive education, it will take a certain amount of time. This copy world is not like Platinum Eye that can be fully protected by robots, so they make concessions, that is, children who violate regulations before they reach a certain age will not be considered a crime, including murder.
Of course, children in the fairy tale world will not be so bad that they kill people. The most common thing is to sneak into other people's houses to play or secretly take adults' things, or tell lies to deceive others - these generally will not have serious consequences.
Then at the prescribed age, the children also learned from the adult population what they could do and what they were guilty of, and then they officially entered a new stage and became one of the guardians of the rules.
What's amazing is that the laws of Gem City are not public, and the only legal document is in the King's Castle.
In other words, Gem City will not take the initiative to tell outsiders what behavior is a crime, and there is no channel for outsiders to obtain anything that cannot be done. However, once a crime is committed, everyone will know that someone has committed a crime and will only write it out when he is executed.
"A person with a sound mind knows very well what behavior is allowed and what behavior is infringing on others. There is no need to write it out in black and white," the shop owner smiled and said to Xu Huodao.
