Chapter 149 Kingdom Domain
North Wind Castle, in the attic of the council hall.

“How long will it take for the criminal law portion to be completed?”

"Lord Cassius, please forgive me for being frank, but this task is too arduous. Compiling a complete code of laws for the kingdom is not something that we can complete in just a few months."

"Oh why?"

"The structure of the Burning Embers Kingdom is too complicated. Not only do we need to consider the local productivity and social structure, but we also need to consider the habits of each race and the use of spells. This is a completely new area for us. Without a lot of practical research, it is impossible to proceed."

"My Lord, let me give you an example. For example, eating corpses of one's own kind is undoubtedly a serious crime of insulting the remains of humans, but for ogres, this is already a long-standing social custom. In other words, based on the current number of races in the kingdom, we need to make more than 20 different versions, and the number may continue to increase in the future."

His voice was exhausted.

"But the order of the kingdom needs the regulation of written law, and it cannot be delayed."

"Of course, we will do our best—"

"One month. Within one month, you must submit a simplified framework of the Kingdom Code. The rest of the content can be gradually filled in from a long-term perspective."

"My Lord, I think this is still the time—"

"I will provide you with all the text materials and a large amount of funds that the Principality of Rackman has collected over the past hundred years."

"but--"

"No buts. If you can satisfy me, wealth, status, or strength are all fine. Do you understand?"

"understand."

The player who was speaking was named "Yundanfengqing". His expression at the moment was particularly wonderful, a mixture of joy and sadness.

"Ugh……"

He is just an ordinary lawyer. He is under too much pressure at work and stays up late all year round. He suffers from hair loss at the age of 30. So he temporarily puts down his work at the doctor's suggestion and enters the virtual world to recuperate, hoping to find a little peace in the world of swords and magic in Erezega.

Different from those professional masters who have reached the upper limit of level 4, Yundanfengqing is just an ordinary player at level 1. He has never even taken a combat mission and has only killed a chicken - and this is also the current situation of many ordinary players.

"Yundanfengqing" originally wanted to be a sorcerer to make some contributions, but he accidentally exposed his high professional qualities and was caught in the council hall, responsible for compiling the code of law.

However, considering the dazzling huge reward, he finally chose to return to his old job.

"Yundanfengqing" looked around at the players with different expressions. Most of them were law students and even trainee lawyers. He was considered a senior among them.

"Everyone, the project time is very tight. Party A is no longer a human being. No, he seems to be not a human being, but a dragon."

“The deadline is only one month.”

"I'm afraid we'll have to work overtime to catch up."

He looked down at the densely packed draft of the "Code of the Kingdom" on the ground, and suddenly tears streamed down his face. The calmness of a middle-aged man disappeared, replaced by the sadness of a balding boy.

"no."

"Why am I still working in another world——"

Cassius stood up, walked out of the compartment and returned to the hall.

"These players must be urged to keep up with the progress, to prevent them from being lazy, otherwise they will probably delay the public beta test."

Casius is well aware of the client’s way of urging project progress.

In fact, he didn't even think about completing the prototype of "The Code of the Burning Kingdom" within a month. It would be good if he could complete it within three months. But he set the deadline to one month, so they could race against time to catch up.

Players always like to compromise. For example, if you open a window, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, everyone will be willing to open the window. The same is true for the compilation of the code.

"After all, the dictatorship law has limited impact on the indigenous people and cannot replace the real law. The kingdom needs a real code that can transcend time and race," Cassius thought.

The red dragon lay in the council hall. Its huge body made this hall, which could accommodate thousands of people, seem a little narrow.

He looked at the panel, and the new achievement had already emerged, and a golden crown appeared in his mind.

[You established a country and obtained the advanced achievement [King]]
"Everywhere the sun shines is the Empire's territory! - Holy Fadran Emperor, Aragon I"

Your characteristic [Dictatorship Law] is upgraded to: [Kingdom Domain]

Charisma+3
Ruler proficiency +10
Your kingdom is under your control. You can spend a certain amount of time to transform a certain area you rule into a [Kingdom Domain]. In the [Kingdom Domain], you can actively suppress all spell reaction effects, and you can also enhance the strength of your own spellcasting.

(Note: The original dictatorship law still exists.)
"As expected of an advanced feature, this is equivalent to a giant anti-magic force field, and it can also enhance the strength of one's own magic."

"There's even a significant bonus to charm."

Cassius stared at the panel, tut-tutting in amazement.

The familiar feeling came over him again, twisting his body and soul, bringing pure uplift.

His charm increased by two points, a full 1.3 times bonus. This allowed his external output and influence capabilities to leap again, reaching a terrifying level.

Although Cassius's caster level is only 13th, his 28-point basic charisma value, which is enough to distort reality, makes the strength of his spells comparable to that of some legendary warlocks.

“This is what it feels like to have a numerical quirk…”

"not bad."

The red dragon simply focused his will on one point without even casting any spell, but the elements there became restless and small flames danced in the air.

There is no spell model, nor magic network parameters, only the implementation of will and the presentation of talent. This is the warlock's "power of thinking".

"Then try your new ability again."

"Kingdom territory."

Cassius slowly closed his eyes and concentrated his will on the golden crown in his mind.

The surrounding space underwent miraculous changes, and an invisible force field slowly opened up. All the magical energy within the force field was submitting to the red dragon.

It can be said that he is the absolute king in this area.

[Kingdom Territory]

The red dragon opened his eyes, and golden energy filled his eyes.

He can feel the surge of the elements around him and control them, both intensifying them and silencing them. All the magical energies in this area are like his subjects and his followers.

“Very powerful ability.”

"If I were to face the Shadow Dragon again within the Kingdom, I would not be helpless."

Suddenly, there was a sound in Cassius's dimensional bag, and the "Medal of the Arcane Hermitage" was seen flashing with magical power.

"It appears to be the Second Arcane Hermitage."

The red dragon performed transformation magic, and tiny pieces of spiritual light floated on its body. The huge dragon body disappeared, and a human noble with black hair and golden eyes appeared in the council hall.

"But a lot of things happened between these two meetings."

A smile appeared on Cassius's face.
