Chapter 82 Gao Hai Lemuria
After all the things related to "God" were set up, Sunan once again issued a divine order.
"From now on, we will abolish the name of the tribe and establish the country of the high seas - Lemuria..." Sunan silently added a few words in his mind, "...the East Sea branch country."
Time waits for no one. There are many things to do if you want to rule a country, so Sunan decided to carry out drastic reforms directly on the "錵" tribe.
No matter whether it was old bad habits or strange etiquette, he would personally modify them bit by bit, one by one.
Just like when he protected the common people in the seaside area, he issued an order to ban "living sacrifices", and personally crushed all the villains who intended to stir up this bad custom into pieces, extracted their souls, and suppressed them in the abyss of the sea.
Sunan’s idea is actually very simple.
You can worship him, you can offer him tributes, but you can’t offer him “living sacrifice”!
This custom of using living people for sacrifice must be completely eliminated!
Any life that attempts to revive it must die!
There is also slavery. The current "錵" tribe... no, it should be Gaohai Lemuria. Due to its geographical location, slavery has not been formed yet. However, the fact that it has not been formed now does not mean that it will not be formed in the future.
He clearly remembered that Boethius, one of the "four great men" in the future in the game, almost became a slave (text reference: Holy Relic Golden Troupe)...
Slavery is not desirable, and Su Nan, the leader of slavery, will not allow even the slightest bit of it to be born!
He could allow the existence of nobles in the future... These nobles had contributed to the expansion of Lemuria's territory, and they should have their protection to protect their descendants.
Of course, making contributions does not mean that they will continue to prosper.
As time goes by, if the nobles are unable to continue to make effective contributions, their titles will be reduced by one level. If they still have no contribution at all, their titles will be further reduced.
When the territory expands to a certain extent, Sunan will stop expanding. If it still wants to obtain the status of a noble, it will have to make other contributions.
Today's Gaohai tribes have lost most of their previous heritage and have fallen into ignorance and stupidity.
So if there are people who can promote the development of culture and technology...what's wrong with Sunan giving them the status of nobility?
There is also the question of the law.
Sunan needs to personally investigate the conditions in many regions and formulate a code of law applicable to the entire Gaohai area based on the reasonable or unreasonable local customs.
The human race and the sea race are different. The "Code of Poseidon" that applies to the sea race cannot be applied to the human race.
Therefore, Sunan would not copy the "Code of Poseidon" from East Sea Lemuria.
As for the Fontaine Law that was supposed to be born...it would be better if that thing didn't appear.
After all, some laws are just too weird.
"Ah..." Sunan stroked his forehead in distress: "It would be better if I could bring Yi Nuo'er or Xiu Yi here... Unfortunately, they are both working at the Future Ocean Research Institute now."
"Compared to these guys in Gaohai, the Lemurian people in Donghai are more important..."
"Anyway, let's draft some simple laws first..."
"The Constitution of the High Sea Lemuria Empire: 1. The Sea God has the supreme status in the Lemuria Empire, but the Sea God is merciful and does not require any sacrifices or tributes related to living sacrifices..."
……
"Meow...Finally done..."
Su Nan worked tirelessly, using the civil code of his hometown in his previous life as a reference, and it took him three full months to complete the corresponding legal settings.
The remaining details need to be improved through the development of subsequent events.
Sunan widened his tired eyes and analyzed the entire "Imperial Constitution" word by word. After making sure there were no obvious flaws, he suddenly collapsed on his throne.
"This constitutional setting is really not something a normal person can accomplish..."
"Three months... I'm really crazy..."
A few minutes later, after a short rest, Sunan walked out of the temple. He came to the sacrificial house that his subjects had spontaneously built for him during this period of time - a simple house built of stone.
This simple house is located on the mountainside, while his temple is on the top of the mountain.
The current high priest of Gaohai Lemuria is Helles. Although he has lost a leg and an arm, his wisdom is still far superior to that of the rest of his people.
So after receiving Gris' recommendation and the warning from his underage brother who was born with supernatural powers and had a strong fist, the others had no choice but to agree.
So now Helles temporarily lives in a shed next to the sacrificial house.
In the sacrificial stone house, Helles, who was carrying out the daily prayer process, suddenly heard a sentence.
“You are praying the wrong way.”
Sunan stood at the gate and looked at Helles kneeling in front of a strange stone pillar and praying. He felt uncomfortable all over.
"Besides, I'm not that ugly."
After looking at the stone pillars on the altar not far in front of him again, Su Nan's eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of disgust.
He stretched out his hand, and with the surge of divine power, the stone pillar flew directly in front of Sunan. Then his mind moved slightly, and a large amount of stone chips began to fall to the ground. The originally strange stone pillar also began to change towards the state of divine armor Sunan.
A few minutes later, a statue of the god of the sea similar to the Seven-Day Statue in the game appeared in front of Sunan.
Looking at the stone statue in front of him, Su Nan thought for a few breaths and then began to engrave runes on it, using the power of runes to add special effects to the stone statue.
As Helles looked shocked, Sunan placed his statue back on the altar.
"Great Poseidon..." Helles was kneeling originally. After seeing Sunan, he tried to turn around and kneel down to Sunan.
Seeing this scene, Su Nan frowned slightly and said:
"My followers do not need to kneel before me."
Hearing Sunan's words, Heles's expression suddenly became panic-stricken, and he wondered if his appearance had disgusted the Sea God...
So he hurriedly wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Su Nan again.
"Your condition is not good..."
A divine spell with the meaning of repair and treatment was cast, and the gentle power of water began to stimulate changes in Helles' body.
"So I grant you divine grace..."
Helles felt that the parts of his body where he had lost his hands and feet began to become numb and itchy...even a little painful.
"But my grace is not so easy to obtain...so you need to pay."
"This is Lemuria's Imperial Constitution. Next, I ask you to read the laws in it carefully and establish a court, a ruling body, and a council according to the laws..."
"Since you have received my favor, you should pay for it."
A divine light and two objects. The former was a book that materialized the "Imperial Constitution" and the latter contained information about the establishment and functions of imperial institutions. It flew directly into Helles' mind and transformed into gentle knowledge that was reflected in his mind without damaging his brain.
"I will come back to inspect the results after a while. I hope you won't let me down."
As the words fell, Sunan disappeared from the spot, leaving behind Helles with a look of astonishment and ecstasy.
At this moment, Helles is complete...
His lost arms and legs were restored by Sunan.
