Lord of Riding and Slashing

With grief and indignation, Nord looked at the last figure, and saw that he had a white wig on top of his head, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his eyes. Although he looked a little refined, his eyes were very cold and unconcerned. There was a hint of emotion, as if it was unreasonable, Nord looked at him and immediately became serious, and with a single click, the character information appeared in front of Nord.

【Name: Matthew】

【Occupation: Judge】

[Character introduction: This is an experienced judge. He is proficient in various laws. The most severe punishment is used to judge those who do evil, and is known as the nemesis of evil (the cruel justice is not human, not close to women)]

[Character motto: Judges are lonely pilgrims, crimes will be severely punished]

[Need meritorious service: 30 points]

Nord's expression became a lot more serious, and a useful person finally appeared in the tavern. Although Nord has no idea of ​​building a court now, Nord feels that he can also help Scholars handle some government affairs , is always better than those two missionaries and cooks.

Moreover, Nord also discovered that recruiting talents from the tavern does not require gold coins, but the required merits. Something is wrong. This is Nord’s first reaction. After all, Nord has been tricked by the system so many times. Very vigilant, no longer trusting any words from the system.

Sure enough, Nord opened his personal panel and took a look. He has been in this world for so long, and Nord's current merit points are not many, so he can't be squandered casually. Nord remembers that there are only two chances to obtain meritorious service, one is to capture the black wood Fortress, once to capture Christenburg.

[Merit: 30 points]

Nord guessed that only by capturing the enemy's territory can he get merit points. Some time ago, when La Mozhai joined Nord's territory, Nord did not get merit points at all. It may be because he has not experienced war, so he cannot get merit points. Sure enough, the system will not allow Nord to take advantage of loopholes.

Otherwise, Nord would be able to earn merit points in the Amon Mountains. According to the calculation of ten merit points for a cottage, Nord would be able to get fifty merit points in a short time, but the system obviously discovered this and directly rejected this Way.

Then I'm sure it's this judge, I don't know what's the use of keeping merit points, early use them to enjoy them early, and the interest will not increase if I save them, and then I spent all my merit points and recruited this ruthless judge , as the merit points are cleared, the figure of the judge in the system tavern screen disappears.

Nord didn't panic. He knew that he should have come to reality. I don't know if it was an illusion. Nord saw a trace of envy in the eyes of the other two, and he saw that the original appearance had not changed. Nord didn't know Is it dazzled, but this scene is still deeply in Nord's mind.

Then Nord came to the tavern by himself. The tavern was built in the old area of ​​Tammy Town, which is now the leisure and entertainment area, but it is very deserted here, because except for a tavern and a square, other places have not yet started. put up.

Moreover, although the tavern has been built, it has not opened, because the baijiu has not been introduced to the market, and now all the baijiu is used by Nord to make a deal with Gustav. Nord opened the door of the tavern and immediately I saw a lonely figure sitting by the bar of the tavern, just like Nord had seen in the system screen before.

The judge was wearing a pitch-black judge's robe, with his back turned to Nord, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't turn around until he heard Nord's footsteps. After seeing Nord, he didn't have any extra expressions. It was a cold face, and he got up calmly and walked towards Nord.

I saw him walking towards Nord at a leisurely pace, and after saluting Nord with his right hand lightly tapping his left shoulder, he began a concise self-introduction.

"Master Nord, hello, I am Judge Matthew, and I am honored to serve you."

"I'm Nord. I'm very happy to work with you in the future. Let me take you back to the manor first. This is not a place for conversation."

It is still the NPC's unchanged lines for a hundred years. Nord already knew what he should say when he passed by, but Nord still cooperates with his performance very seriously. Nord's way of speaking will be simple. The advanced emotion has been omitted.

Nord briefly told Matthew about the situation of the territory, especially the fact that the civilians here do not know much about the law. After hearing this, Judge Matthew kept frowning. He did not expect that the territory was actually like this. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an illegal place.

In this era, it is almost the words of the lord. The lord is the law in his own territory. With the demise of the empire ceased to exist.

Moreover, the aristocratic lords of the empire were not so arrogant at that time. The power of the nobles was suppressed, especially the noble house above the nobles. They uphold the emperor's right to judge a noble who made mistakes. It is a tool of the nobility, it is only responsible for recording some information of the nobility, and loses the right to supervise the nobility.

"Don't even have a court? Then what job will I be in charge of in the future?"

There was a trace of sadness in Judge Matthew's eyes, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye, and his eyes became firm again. Nord could read Judge Matthew's meaning from his eyes, even if he didn't He will not give up his belief in the court, as he himself said, the judge is a lonely pilgrim, even if he is alone on the road ahead, he will not stop his footsteps.

"I will appoint you as the legal officer of the territory, and give you the right to enforce the law in the territory. You can judge anyone who breaks the law in the territory. You just need to be responsible to me. No one can stop you from punishing crimes, even here Civilians don’t know what the law is, even though there is no court here, I still hope you can uphold fairness and justice.”

"Thank you for your trust, your lord, justice has never changed in my heart, I will live up to your entrustment, do my best to maintain the fairness and justice of the entire territory, and will not let anyone who violates laws and regulations Behavior lives on the land.”

Judge Matthew's eyes were indifferent and firm, but there was still a trace of gratitude in the eyes of Nord. Nord's unconditional trust is very rare, almost calling him the power of life and death in the entire territory, Matthew I can't wait to start working, especially when I just heard Nord say that there is no one in the territory to uphold justice, Matthew's heart can't help but feel uncomfortable.

Nord does not want to engage in the separation of powers. Legislative and judicial powers are handed over to Judge Matthew. The tone of the separation of powers checks each other. It is better to centralize power. After all, the final power is still concentrated in the hands of Nord. , they all act under the orders of Nord.
