Chapter 1,380 The Threat of Dragon Island

Because he is a child, everything he does can be forgiven?

Ignoring the society before someone travels for the moment, the law stipulates that adults, citizenship rights, etc. must not be considered to have complete behavioral capacity and bear complete responsibilities until the individual reaches the age of eighteen or twenty. How was adulthood defined in ancient times?

In my hometown, both at home and abroad, adults in ancient times had to hold a coming-of-age ceremony before they were considered adults. The time for the coming-of-age ceremony is generally from the age of twelve to fifteen, depending on the situation. As long as the coming-of-age ceremony is held, it means you can get married.

As for why it is defined this way, the reason is actually very simple. At this age, boys reach sexual maturity and girls begin to menstruate; simply put, they are ready to have children.

In an era when average life expectancy was relatively low and the medical and health environment was poor, women were required to wait until their careers were stable and their bodies matured in their thirties before becoming pregnant and having children. Isn't this a joke? In an era when manpower equals productivity, this kind of 'advanced' behavior is no different from ethnic suicide.

Although the body is not fully mature, childbirth is risky. The solution of the ancients was to have many children and grandchildren, using a cruel natural selection method to select relatively strong individuals to reproduce many offspring. Those who are unhealthy and weak will die from various diseases during the growth process, or are at risk of pregnancy or childbirth. Most of them will not be able to give birth to offspring.

As for whether there is judgment or immaturity in mind. Even in modern society before time travel, young people in their twenties were still considered to be at an impulsive age. Are these people really different from teenagers?

In the eyes of the former Feizhai traversers, innocence and ignorance should not be the protection of minors. The age limit is only a limit for whether guardians should bear joint legal responsibility. Those who do not know are not guilty. This has never been a view that a society should uphold.

What's more, how to prove that a criminal really didn't know that his behavior violated the law at the time of committing the crime? Zhuangzi's "Zi Fei Yu" argument illustrates very well that this kind of thing is simply difficult to prove.

So for the old aristocratic deacon who left, he kept emphasizing that the notorious prince was just a 'child'. Such words only made Lin feel sick. Because there is no one to teach you and you are young, you can do evil?

However, when it comes to the prince, to be honest, Lin is a little unsure.

Standard child temperament. Seeing the same, loving the same, seeing good things, I want to hold them in my hands. However, people like the new and get tired of the old very quickly. To say that it is popular for three minutes is a bit flattering. But the scary thing is that this 'child' has great power, enough to reward life and death.

But the prince will not be like a child, who will fall to the ground and stalk him when things don't go his way, and won't give up until things go according to his own ideas. When it was time to leave, he did it neatly and decisively, not like a child at all.

So, is the little devil smart and just using his childish appearance to cover up? Or is everything just a coincidence and he just thinks too much. Lin couldn't tell for sure. Unless you hold the box to his forehead and read his mind directly.

The aristocrats have this shortcoming, and their elite education and etiquette training are the best disguises. If you are not a member of that circle, it is difficult to know what that circle is doing behind the scenes.

Forget it, put the prince's matter out of your mind for now. Anyway, his destructive power is not up to the level of damaging his own affairs. At best, he is a bit of an eyesore, and he only pops out from time to time to disgust people. To deal with such people, ignoring them is the best option. Dance along with the other person, simply wasting your own time. Those hours are better spent in a daze than being angry with the other person.

Bank construction in the Port of Azores was rapid. In fact, in this era of low productivity, it is still very simple to build an ordinary house as long as it is not a miracle building like the Parthenon.

Lin's plans and requirements for the bank are not even on the level of a wealthy businessman's mansion. As long as you kick the wall, the wall will not fall down; if you shake the pillars, the roof will not collapse.

The only thing that can be called a work of art is the holy emblem of the Gold Coin Goddess. In order for the Holy Emblem to work, certain rules must be followed, and no carelessness is allowed. This is just like a magic circle, so scribbling is of course useless.

On the other hand, if the bank is built too luxuriously, it will scare away the vast majority of ordinary people and prevent them from entering the bank to do business. If we only focus on high-end users from the beginning, it will be very difficult to make it acceptable to ordinary people.

After all, in Lost Land, it is a society with solidified classes. People at the lower levels want to move to the upper levels. If they are not careful, they will not only get humiliation, but also lose their lives. This is completely different from the harmonious society governed by law in my hometown.

But if we take the civilian route from the beginning and open up some luxurious reception areas in order to take care of the upper-class people, this approach will be easier for everyone to accept.

Because for the huge assets of the nobles, the bank has enough interests to induce them to use them, and the appearance of luxury or simplicity is an insignificant matter. But for civilians, those benefits or handling fees are negligible decimal points. If you make them afraid to use it, it will be much harder to lure them into the bank later.

It took nearly half a month to stay in the Port of Azores, and the main building of the bank was almost completed. The furnishings and decoration inside are also being carried out simultaneously. When everything is completed, Lin will consecrate the holy symbol in the bank and hand over the bank in this port city to Sir Geb who manages the local area for the empress.

In the early days, the problem of bank management manpower could be solved by calling in an elf. The rest are recruited from the local area and are doing security work anyway. It is enough to bring in one bank employee. Bank users will still communicate directly with the goddess through the Great Holy Emblem without anyone as a medium. So people who know how to do it really don’t need too much.

On the other hand, the employees of the Whale Bone Tavern were as wary as seeing a certain magician. It's not that this magician will threaten their lives, but the people chasing this magician pose a great threat to them just by the possibility of accidental injury.

This feeling of worry and fear of being implicated is not a good feeling.

Of course, Lin could understand the looks in those people's eyes, and even the orc girl, who had always been so loud, became petty and cautious. In this regard, Lin had no intention of making amends or doing anything to show a closer attitude.

When he comes to the pub to drink, it is just a transaction. I chose the Whale Bone Tavern because it has the background of the Adventurer's Guild, so it naturally avoids a lot of minor troubles. This is why the tavern employees have to hide when trouble comes. Those little troubles have no chance of happening here.

If Lin becomes more intimate with a particular person, will that person become a target for his potential enemies? Lin didn't want to bet on this kind of thing at all. Besides, at my age, I am not the kind of person who has trouble sleeping alone. There is no need to sleep with my arms around a stove.

With these realizations and the few days left, his work in the Port of Azores can be completed. Lin was shameless and continued to cause trouble to the people in the tavern. Hiding in the Azores Castle on the cliff is also a method, but who said that beer can only be found in the whale bone tavern and cannot be drunk elsewhere.

Someone is currently having a severe concussion with the Haggiris. In this extremely mental-consuming situation, the best drink is coffee. It's a pity that there is no qualified coffee here in the Port of Azores. Maybe you have to go back to the empress' summer palace to drink it.

Then beer with a low alcohol content becomes the next best refreshing drink, except that it has the side effect of being drunk. If other spirits with higher alcohol content make you dizzy after drinking it, then there is no need to do research, just make yourself drunk.

Although someone has a very valid reason. But in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a bastard who reports to the tavern every day, orders a few drinks and then stays in a daze all day long. If it weren't for the black robe, the magician's shawl with a golden thread on the front, and the money in his pocket, he might have been regarded as a homeless man.

It's just different from someone's desire to spend the remaining few days safely. When you are in the whirlpool of trouble, you can't get out easily. What's more, what he got into was huge trouble, and the pressure from Long Island was expanding silently.

However, after experiencing two farces between the Barbarian King and Prince Behar, no one came to the door with determination, thinking that they could get the generous rewards promised by Dragon Island. No matter how reckless a Midi person is, they will not do such things as taking money if they have a life but spending money if they have no life.

But even if you don't do it forcefully, there are still ways to achieve it in a roundabout way. For example, an unexpected figure stood in front of Lin. It was the white swordsman William Greco in flowing white clothes.

William is not here to cause trouble. Although some people in the Greco family suggested this and even tried to use the family's authority to oppress the famous sword master, they came forward to challenge the magician and sold it to Dragon Island. But William did not compromise, or in other words, he did not abandon that group of people at all.

After changing out of his non-white bank uniform, a suit, William put on his favorite white clothes again. He actually doesn't care much about the style and shape of the clothes, he just likes the feeling of being dressed in snow-white clothes and being spotless.

Don’t even think about how it is possible to keep your white clothes stain-free all the time during daily activities. But William just can do it. Lin even wondered if this guy's ability to seek good luck and avoid bad luck was the result of his daily efforts in keeping his white clothes clean.

If he can subconsciously avoid things like accidentally getting dirty, then it doesn't seem so unusual for him to unconsciously avoid more dangerous things. Even people like Lin, who are good at calculation, sometimes feel powerless about William's intuition that seems to be inherently lucky.

The sword master reappeared in front of someone, with his butt slightly touching the wooden chair, and asked with a pout, "Have you offended Long Dao?"

"I killed two dragons before." Lin Jian replied. He didn't even think about whether the sword master in front of him came to fight for Dragon Island. From what he knew of this man, William was a person who was more afraid of trouble than he was and would avoid trouble.

Even as a member of the Turtle Dove Alliance, the number of times William actually took action was very few, and every time there was a reason why he had to take action. It was obvious that the bounty on Long Island and the pressure from his family were not enough reasons for him to fall out with someone.
