Chapter 391

In the incubator of His Kingdom, the giant jellyfish pondered quietly while supplying force to the God of Healing in the light cocoon .

Crick’s message to him was far more striking than any avatar’s before, both in quantity and quality . His insight helped Sui Xiong open his vision in many ways that he had never thought possible .

Due to his limited strength, Crick had not gotten much insight in terms of the laws of power and the origin of the world . But in social, political, economic, and other aspects, he showed profound understanding . He was like a meteor crossing the sky and made the whole world remember him .

It was no exaggeration to say that Crick had left him a rich legacy beyond imagination .

Since Sui Xiong’s arrival in this world, he had received important intelligence several times .

The first was the gift from the God of Redemption, who gave him a preliminary understanding of the world, the Gods, and other powerful characters . He provided geographical knowledge and information on race and culture . It could be said this gift got rid of his ignorance about the world .

The second was communication with the Boy of Ceremony, Javier . Javier was a social and insightful optimist, so he collected a lot of information . His documentation style was very messy and it was hard to find context, but it was rich and varied . It provided Sui Xiong with a deep understanding of the world’s heroes .

The third was the information given by the Sun God . The Sun God exposed the world’s power system, evolved various fields, and mastered the composition of clergies . Sui Xiong had not been able to thoroughly understand it all . But with the knowledge he could hold on to, his strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds . He could become one of the world’s most outstanding masters, a rare thing .

The fourth time was now, with the information from Crick . What he provided had nothing to do with power, but it greatly broadened Sui Xiong’s horizons . Crick gave him a deeper understanding of the inner workings of social evolution and the social world, which was something that only time-travelers were willing to study and think deeply about . Sui Xiong finally had a clear understanding of how to promote the development and progress of this world .

In Sui Xiong’s opinion, Crick’s information was just as valuable as the Sun God’s . No! Crick had provided something even more valuable, something unparalleled in this world .

The information from the Sun God was enough to pave the way for a great man to become a divine force . But there were so many divine forces in the world . Who had brought peace and progress to the world? Who would make people live in peace and contentment? Who had promoted productivity and development?

Nobody!

Crick’s information was different . It wasn’t for the creation of great men but paved the path for those who were willing to push the world forward . Those who would strive to make ordinary people’s lives better . Crick made it clear what to work hard towards instead of slaving at a goal that would soon be obliterated by history .

Sui Xiong thought the most appropriate name for the information might be Capital .

Capital? Haha… Sui Xiong couldn’t help but laugh at this thought . When the revolution is won, should I give Crick the title of Great Mentor? He laughed to himself again . Then, he enacted an order .

It said, “From now on, cooperate with Felix to unify the four towns in the Northwest . ”

This did not surprise anyone . Felix’s management and preparation in recent years had headed in the direction of unifying the Northwest and building an independent country . His Majesty Void Mask issuing the statement was blowing the final horn directing all to charge .

However, the document that was subsequently launched left many confused .

According to the document, there would be no more nobles in the new country unifying the four towns of the Northwest . A person who did meritorious deeds could be promoted to an official or given various rewards, but he would not become the ruler of an area .

Of course, aristocracy still existed, but it would be an honor and allowance which would be gradually reduced with the succession of descendants . If their descendants were not devoted, after five generations, even the highest-ranking Dukes would be downgraded to the lowest rank of Barons .

Fortunately, they wouldn’t be further downgraded . Unless there was a crime, the title of Baron could be passed on forever . But the title of Baron would be accompanied by a salary that just managed to guarantee enough food and clothing for the family, as well as several honors, but without much practical benefit . Unless they were really comfortable with a poor life, the descendants of nobles needed to continue to work hard to maintain the honor and status of the family .

Knighthood would be below the rank of Baron, and would not be hereditary . If people wanted their children to benefit from them, they would need to work hard .

What’s more, official posts would be separated by rank or title . A high official might not come from a high rank; a high ranking noble might not take a high official post . The official post would be decided by honor, while the title would be given by performance . Of course, people who worked well would certainly be honored, but they would not necessarily be able to get titles . Only those outstanding people who had made far more than the standard of achievement could get titles .

In general, the value of the noble titles would be greatly reduced according to this system . The future state that unified the Northwest would be ruled by officials rather than the aristocracy, which had never been seen before . Officials would no longer be acquired through inheritance or promotion, but through extensive screening, practice, promotion from the grass-roots level to the top .

Moreover, the powers of officials and the aristocracy were explained and restrained in this document . It repeatedly emphasized that the core of governing the country lay in public opinion, and the law was the basic criterion for dealing with the daily affairs of the country .

In this new country, no one could surpass the law, from the highest governor to the adventurers who passed by occasionally . As long as they were located in the country, there would be no exceptions!

In the past, many countries’ laws emphasized the sanctity of rulers . The three chapters of the famous Code of Eagle Kingdom at the time were “The rights of kings, the rights and duties of nobles, and the duties of civilians . ” For a long time, that was the basic principle legal system in the whole world .

Kings had unrestricted rights, and aristocrats had rights but had to fulfill their obligations . The rights of civilians were not guaranteed, while only their obligations were necessary .

The document issued by His Majesty Void Mask clearly negated the social order that had stood for thousands of years . In that new country, the rights of all people would be guaranteed . All people would fulfill their obligations, with no exceptions .

At the end of the document, Sui Xiong called this unprecedented form of state the Republic .

It meant that this country would not be the private property of a king, a family, or even a God, but shared by all citizens . Second, it meant that all ranks of the country were equal before the law, and everyone’s rights would be guaranteed . There would be no more domination or control .

The name of this new country would be The Republic of Northwest .
