Chapter 894: Chapter 882: The Majesty of the Legal Code Chapter 894: Chapter 882: The Majesty of the Legal Code “Master, the codex has been preliminarily completed. Please review it!” A giant legal code with black leather cover was placed in front of Muria, and around this massive book swirled grievances visible to the naked eye, “Please see if there’s anything amiss.”

“How many demons have you killed for this, Mels?” Muria glanced at his devil servant after seeing the codex wrapped in substantial grievances, made from the skin of devils, and showed no change in expression as he placed his hand on the book.

The grievances swirling around the book surged towards Muria’s hand like sharks drawn to the scent of blood, but as soon as they touched Muria’s skin, a torrent of divine light emerged and crushed them overwhelmingly.

It was merely the grievances of a bunch of slain devils, after all. The idea that such a thing could corrupt him was laughable.

“Not yet ten thousand, Your Majesty,” said Mels with a somewhat embarrassed smile, reporting a number he considered to be very low. After all, since the first massacre, the subsequent devils summoned from Hell had been pouring their heart and soul into the creation of the codex to the point of forgoing food and drink.

“This code is good, but it’s still not perfect. It doesn’t cover enough areas.” Muria nodded after quickly flipping through the nearly tens of millions of characters in the codex, affirming Mels’s work.

This codex could essentially be considered the most comprehensive in the world of Erathia, based merely on the number of words it contained.

This Xena Pus Codex included over a hundred races, mainstream Human Race, Elf Race, Dwarf race, Gnomes, Beastmen, and the less numerous Dragon Race, Angel race, Giant Clan, Mermaid race, Naga race, as well as some more unique Dark Races, Werewolf race, Blood Clan, Medusa… The sheer number of races covered by this codex made it unparalleled in the world.

The wide range of industries it touched upon was also astoundingly extensive, encompassing education, buildings, food, medical care, religion, adventure… There were detailed provisions for nearly every word and action.

“Please guide me, Master!” Without any retort, Mels respectfully lowered his head, asking Muria to point out where he had fallen short.

“Take, for example, the education law, which specifies detailed provisions for the basic education system, schools and other educational institutions, teachers and other educational workers, the educated, and education’s relationship with society. But it does not stipulate the most important influence in a creature’s life, a teacher.”

“The Child’s Parents?” Mels’s mind worked quickly, cutting through Muria’s unfinished sentence with his own conclusion, since it wasn’t hard to guess the most significant influence on an individual’s life.

“Correct. Legally speaking, parents have a natural right to nurture and educate their children, but certain members of the Human Race and the traditional Five Colored Dragons of the Dragon Race have failed in their duties, misusing their parental rights!

Legal restrictions are necessary for such cases! Not just any creature is qualified to assume the roles of Father and Mother.”

“I understand!” Mels didn’t ask Muria to clarify what abilities parents should have. If the Master spelled everything out, what use would he have for his dog? It’s the job of superiors to point out the general direction; the subordinates, like him, are meant to handle the details.

…

“Aeolus! Have you seen the recently decreed Xena Pus Legal Code?” During the lunch break, a beautiful young girl approached Aeolus in his classroom, her forehead adorned with a pair of distinctly bright Dragon Horns.

“I’ve looked at some of it, Eddy!” Aeolus smiled warmly at the Dragon Girl who had been in the same school as him since childhood. Now, he saw only a few of the girls who used to flock around him back then.

Of course, their absence wasn’t due to dropout rates, although the education system on Senapus Subcontinent was exceedingly strict, weeding out a large number of students every year.

The main reason Aeolus didn’t see those familiar faces was that those girls had been assigned to other high schools, with very few attending his own, and none in the same class as him.

“This code is so strict!”

“A little strictness isn’t bad; as long as we don’t do anything too outrageous, we won’t break the law,” Aeolus chuckled at the Dragon Girl’s complaint.

“But don’t you think this code is too intrusive? It actually prescribes that if you want to have children, you must pass a parental qualifications examination, and those who fail cannot have children.”

“I actually think it’s a good thing.” To the Dragon Girl’s surprise, the usually amiable Aeolus voiced an objection this time, not echoing her sentiment.

“What’s so good about that? If I want to have children in the future, I’ll have to take that examination,” the Dragon Girl fidgeted, glancing at Aeolus, her cheeks blooming with an alluring blush, her thoughts a mystery.

“Something very special happened in my class recently. Haven’t you heard about it?”

“What happened?” Dragon Girl Eddy looked utterly clueless, rarely gossiping with the girls in her class.

“I have a female student in my class whose family is rather ordinary. She doesn’t have much allowance every month, and the only reason she can still study at this school is because of the living subsidy provided by the school.

Ordinarily, the school’s subsidies for students from less affluent families are just enough, ensuring they don’t fall behind other students in terms of nutrition.

But this female classmate of mine, all her practical exam subjects are failures because her physical fitness can’t keep up, and moreover, her strength is the lowest in our class.”

“What’s the reason for this?”

“Because her parents took away a large portion of the subsidies granted to her by the school, which caused her training to fall far behind the normal level. If it weren’t for her excellent written exam scores, she would have been expelled long ago!”

“How can her parents do that? Don’t they consider their daughter at all?” Dragon Girl Eddy couldn’t understand what kind of parents would treat their child like this.

“I’ve heard she has a younger brother, and according to the investigation, her parents were using her subsidy money to fund her brother’s training!”

“Being treated like that, doesn’t she resist?”

“How can she resist? By being a child who defies her parents? Do you think that’s appropriate?” Aeolus asked flatly. “And if she really made any act of defiance, even if her parents are in the wrong, there would still be voices of blame falling on her.”

“That might have been true before, but now, after the Xena Pus Legal Code was enacted, her parents’ actions are illegal!” Dragon Person Eddy’s eyes lit up, suddenly thinking of the Xena Pus Legal Code.

“Exactly, her parents are breaking the law, so on the very first day the new law was enacted, her parents were arrested, and she was summoned to court.”

“So what was the outcome?”

“Naturally, it was a cause for celebration. Legally, her parents were stripped of all educational and custodial rights over her. They still maintain a blood relationship in terms of kinship, but legally, they no longer have any connection.

If her biological parents dare to ask her for her subsidy money again, it will be considered extortion, which is also in violation of the law.”

“That’s really good!”

“Get ready! Now is the period just after the new law has been enacted. To disseminate the law throughout the Senapus Subcontinent, our upcoming extracurricular practices will probably turn us into enforcers of the Legal Code!”

“Where did you hear that?” Dragon Girl was slightly astonished.

“Teacher!” Aeolus revealed his source of information. He didn’t specify which teacher, but at that time, a teacher had subtly reminded him to get prepared.

Soon enough, Aeolus’s words came true. All high schools in Senapus united and selected students with rich combat experience from amongst their ranks, then gave them a mutual task: to become enforcers acting upon the guidelines set by the Xena Pus Legal Code.

The white fitted combat uniform, the pure white cape, the pure white gloves—everything was white. Only in the sunlight, the fitted combat uniform would exhibit a faint gleam in the breeze, outlining the majestic image of a pure white great tiger.

This was Aeolus’s uniform as an enforcer, the standard official attire. It was said that the white of the enforcers’ robes signifies that as upholders of the law, they cannot tolerate the slightest impurity.

…

“You’ve just put on this uniform, so you will undertake some simple adaptive tasks!” The law enforcement team captain who brought the uniforms to Aeolus’s high school informed the group of students in front of him with an easygoing expression.

“What kind of adaptive tasks?” The young man standing beside Aeolus raised his hand and asked, a look of eagerness in his eyes. In his mind, now that he had become an enforcer, he naturally should be going out to slay those who violated the statutes of the legal code.

“The most special and controversial point of the Xena Pus Legal Code is something you all should know! You will now execute this particular statute.

Based on the information we’ve provided, go to the homes of those unfit to be parents, investigate to verify the situation, and then take their children away!”

“You mean to tell us to go and snatch other people’s children?”
