Chapter 855: Square Debate



"This city has rules that must be followed..."

After the other party left, Lu Ban and Feng Yu discussed.

"This is a bit like a weird thing. I wonder what the consequences will be if I break the rules?"

"Why don't you try it?"

Feng Yu suggested.

"Let's learn the rules first."

Lu Ban did not take the risk of death. If he was simply struck by lightning, it would be fine. However, if he was directly expelled from Utopia, it would be detrimental to the completion of the mission.

He thought about it and felt that the guy next door was a nice person who could remind him, so he decided to ask him later.

But before that, Lu Ban still had to try his best to gather some information on the street to prevent being misled by one person's words.

After packing up with Feng Yu and going out to the street, Lu Ban soon discovered that many people were walking towards a building near the pyramid.

The building is circular in shape, supported by thick pillars, like a circular plaza.

The steps of the square are seats. People, regardless of gender, teenagers or children, all abide by the rules and sit in their seats, waiting for something.

These people's clothes were much better than the ones Lu Ban saw at the beginning. It seemed that the people he met at the beginning were living in the outermost layer of the city.

Lu Ban and Feng Yu found a place with a good view and sat down, then they saw two people walking towards the center of the circular plaza.

The two men were dressed like scholars from ancient Greece, with the crystals on their necks and legs. They glanced at the audience, and one of them said.

"Everyone, welcome to witness this debate. We will discuss the future development direction of Utopia. The Wild Wolf Guard represented by me and the academy represented by Mr. Bladefoot will have a debate. The only difference between us is our opinions. We all share the same desire to make Utopia prosperous."

The two introduced themselves and began the debate.

After listening for a while, Lu Ban roughly figured out the identities of the two people.

The Wild Wolf Guard is a military organization of Utopia, responsible for maintaining public order within the city. The Academy, unlike its name, is an organization that studies relics and ancient civilizations and is responsible for exploring external relics.

These two camps are obviously also preparing to compete for the position of Utopian Saint.

Among them, the Wild Wolf Guard advocates protecting the city-state and first taking advantage of this period of great changes in the world to develop its own military strength. In order to resist external aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation.

The academy wants to send more people out as quickly as possible to seize the initiative, discover more relics and obtain resources.

There is a natural contradiction between the two in their demands for resources, and each has its own reasons.

As he listened, Lu Ban discovered something.

In this world, the Zerg seems to have really disappeared.

The time point here should be the last time he came to the wasteland and shattered the passage connecting the Old Ones and the wasteland.

Frost Heart, Moment, and the Singer should have returned to Utopia and informed it of the relevant information, which led to a huge change in Utopia. In this era of imminent drastic changes, people are seeking the direction of the future, so there is such a debate.

The debate square is a place where people from different camps express their views to each other.

Every day, people from different camps clash here, and citizens with voting rights will listen to their views here and decide which side to vote for in the next vote.

Lu Ban also understood why the man he met during the day thought that the method of distributing food was "evil", because it was equivalent to using money to win over citizens, and those marginal citizens who did not have a good life. For the Utopians who liked to use the clash of opinions to determine who was superior, it was indeed not a normal method.

As for the rules, Lu Ban listened to their debate and observed other citizens, and roughly understood the extraordinary aspects of Utopia.

The reason why this city is called Utopia is because the saint who founded it was named Plato, and the name itself has been passed down.

The rules in Utopia are not made by humans, but are determined by the extraordinary abilities of the saint Plato. In Utopia, everyone has the right to decide the owner of the city, and can choose to participate in the election and become the owner of the city. Every election is completely open, and the succession of the saint is determined by the will of the people. When the saint loses the support of the people and is not accepted by everyone, he will also lose his corresponding extraordinary abilities.

At the same time, all property in Utopia is publicly owned, and everyone pursues justice. If there is bullying, theft, fraud, etc., they will be punished. The lighter ones will be expelled, and the serious ones may die on the spot.

As for the specific rules, although some people have summarized some of them, no one knows what the real rules are. We only know that if we live in a correct, fair and selfless way, we will most likely not violate the rules.

In other words, in utopia, any just behavior will be protected.

And if any unjust behavior occurs, even a saint will be punished.

It is not so much that the city is ruled by saints, but rather that the saints here are ruled by the city.

"So that's why it's a crooked way, right?"

Lu Ban thought to himself.

If the Yellow Sand Brotherhood had directly bribed voters with money, they would have certainly been sanctioned by Utopia, so they resorted to trickery and used the name of distributing food, which was obviously in line with the rules and was just.

In this way, the Yellow Sand Brotherhood actually bribed voters, but would not be punished by Utopia.

“It seems that even if there are rules, people will find loopholes.”

In this situation, Lu Ban probably has no way of using [Last Words] to tamper with other people's ideas to win. He can either be upright and conquer others with outstanding ideas and practical actions, or find another way and find loopholes in the rules to win.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban quickly came up with a plan.

Although he was unfamiliar with Utopia and didn't know which camp was reliable, since Utopia had undergone such changes because of the discovery of Frost Heart and others, it meant that Frost Heart and others must be in the city.

Lu Ban only needs to find them and reveal his identity, and he will probably gain great trust and even become a hero among the citizens of Utopia.

At that time, let alone helping others in the election, it would be reasonable for Lu Ban to become the saint himself.

The debate finally ended with the victory of the Wild Wolf Guard. Compared with exploring the outside world, most citizens may still pay more attention to their current lives. After all, in this era, looking up at the stars is a luxury.

Lu Ban saw the debater representing the academy leaving dejectedly, so he followed him.
