Chapter 720 Employee Onboarding
"She is from the fish-men tribe and is my apprentice."
"Both of us are craftsmen - I heard that the Queen of Silver is based here, so naturally I want to get a decent job under her glory."
Lindsay and Alice found the censorship point to enter the Silver City.
This is a stationary island in the sky. The original pavilion next to the sky bridge has been artificially transformed into an office. Outsiders check here, and then they can set foot on the empty islands responsible for transporting personnel.
At this moment, Lindsay was in front of a reviewer.
Because he had only fought against the Law Knight a day ago, Lindsay could easily identify the opponent's identity - he was also a Law Knight!
"..."
After Lindsay finished his introduction, the Law Knight just gave him a flat look.
There was no contempt or preferential treatment, no joy or hatred. The other party just took out a scale from under the table next to him and held it in his hand.
"..."
Lindsay's mind suddenly shut down.
The words he had prepared long ago were on his lips, but he could only stop them at this moment.
Because of this thing, Lindsay has seen it once.
It was a treasure controlled by Lord Anrui in the hidden frontier. It could distinguish lies. It was said that it was only used once on a suspicious businessman.
Second meeting.
The scales of the Capital of Law were placed in front of Lindsay to check whether he was lying.
He carefully weighed the scales of the man in front of him.
[Human male - Awakened, suspected to be a knight of the law. 】
[Legal Scale—a magical item with the power to discern lies. 】
Under Lindsay's watchful eye.
The Law Knight held the scale in his left hand and put his right hand under the table. He didn't know whether it was touching his leg or touching the hilt of the sword:
"Both of you, your source of essence is confirmed without a doubt. You must be the awakened one."
“But regarding craftsmanship, are you really craftsmen?”
"..."
Lindsay's mind was racing.
He tried hard to think about whether he had any ability to blind the judgment of the legal balance, or to bewitch the legal knight in front of him?
Then--
Alice: [Lindsay, whatever you say, this scale cannot reveal your lies. 】
This sentence suddenly popped up in the friends list.
Lindsay was shocked in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface and began to lie in a steady tone:
"Of course, both of us are craftsmen! Our teacher also cultivated our skills since childhood. Unfortunately, our teacher passed away some time ago. We wanted to escape from the unstable living environment, so we walked all the way to the border until we heard about the establishment of this great city. "
"..."
The Law Knight failed to see through it at all.
There was no feedback from the scale in his hand. He just thought that Lindsay in front of him was not lying, so he continued to ask:
"Do you have any ill intentions towards Her Majesty the Queen? Do you have any other dangerous thoughts when you come to this city?"
Lindsay responded fluently:
"Of course not! We just want to live peacefully here."
The Law Knight continued:
"Very well, tell me your names and ages. If you had proof of identity before, submit it now and I will replace it with a new one for you..."
"..."
Lindsay's illegal activities are protected by a man of integrity.
The process went extremely smoothly.
In fact, this is also a problem with the world itself.
Because of possessing Seiphic Skills, people do not need lengthy investigations or rigorous economic analysis. As long as you master the skill, you can clearly find out the details of the other party.
By cheating this way, Lindsay and Alice passed the review.
They were quickly arranged to go to the Sky Island in the Silver City.
Along with them, there were several other people who had moved from the border, including ordinary people and awakened people who had taken refuge.
Some people looked nervous and uneasy about this city belonging to witches.
Some people were excited, with overflowing joy on their faces.
——Take refuge in a seven-stage awakener.
Even if the opponent is the loser, it is still a very promising choice!
In order to keep it secret, Lindsay naturally did not speak at this time, so he asked Alice questions in his friend list.
Lindsay: [Alice, what did you just do? 】
Alice: [The power of the legal balance comes from the extension of the law or the power of the heart. The knights of the law here are obviously not loyal to the capital of law or those who do the right thing, so the method of judgment is naturally simple and can be misled by the power of will. 】
Lindsay: [Not loyal to the City of Law or those who do justice? What if they were loyal? 】
Alice: [The power of the Law Knights comes from law and order. By being loyal to those who do the right thing, they can draw on the power of the monarch's will; by being loyal to the "City of Law", they can draw on the rules of law accumulated over thousands of years; therefore, at the same stage, law knights often possess very powerful power. . 】
Lindsay: [The law knight here does not belong to these two? 】
Alice: [They are loyal to other people, or are trained by ordinary awakened people, and the power they rely on is only ordinary laws. Naturally, they cannot be as powerful as the knights of the City of Law. 】
Lindsay: [Emotions are still a profession that pays attention to its origin. 】
Alice: [So it was very easy for me to deceive the legal balance he controlled. 】
Get the answer from Alice.
Lindsay thought again of the Law Knight whose body was chopped off by the opponent's sword.
That unlucky guy was probably a law knight loyal to the Silver Witch, or even trained by the other party.
So in the battle, the power he showed was far less than those Lindsay had seen.
This is in a sense - the law enforcement officers of a big country are more powerful?
Lindsay thought of what he had seen before.
Lindsay: [Alice, will the law knights who are loyal to the [City of Law] be more likely to become slaves of the law? ]
Alice: [When enforcing the law, they will naturally be infected. But a normal law knight will definitely not be twisted to become a slave. Unless...]
Lindsay: [Unless what? ]
Alice: [Unless he experiences a huge setback, so that his will collapses, and then the power of the law will occupy his soul, and he will become a machine that can only enforce the law. ]
Lindsay: [From this point of view, the law knights who are loyal to the [City of Law] are really dangerous. ]
Alice: [When his soul was broken, he was actually dead. What remained was just an empty shell that inherited the remnant of his soul and will. And this kind of thing has rarely happened in history. The will of the strong cannot be easily shattered. 】
When Lindsay and Alice were discussing in their friend list.
Sky Island also circled around the Silver City for a few times and finally came to the core island.
The staff went to hand over their identities.
Lindsay and Alice had just stepped onto the island and didn't even have time to take a closer look.
The person waiting here looked happy and walked towards them directly:
"Are you two craftsmen?"
"Great, you're here at the right time!"
"There's an urgent need for manpower to build the camp over there, come with me!"
