Chapter 2456: Daxia Characteristics

"The Daxia Code, so it's this!"

Puman marveled at the Divine Miracle of the Lord of Radiance while staring fixedly at the original text of the Code carved into the four sides of the statue's pedestal; when he was in Seventon, he had heard many rumors about the Daxia Code, but at the time, he had only assumed they were some more specific decrees.

He had not expected it to be explicitly displayed in such a form.

At this moment, he profoundly realized the essential difference between the Nan Jing and other territories in the Inner Land; walking around the statue of the Code, thanks to the influence of the Lord of Radiance's Divine Miracle, he could easily and quickly grasp the details of the original text of the Code.

It was more detailed than the legends in Seventon, and it was even more unexpected and beyond his imagination!

Although there was the endorsement of a Divine Miracle, Puman still couldn't help but ask: "Lord Xia Duo, is everything written here true? Is it all currently being implemented in Daxia Territory?"

"Of course it is true. If you don't believe it, you can find any resident and see if they know the content of the Code," Xia Duo answered with great confidence.

Not to mention the earlier batches of residents, who had basically pioneered the land with him and were very familiar with his style of conduct; as for the later residents, the first hurdle to becoming an official resident was literacy and the Code.

Although they might not be able to recite it by heart, they would definitely understand the boundaries of their behavior within the social environment of Daxia Territory by comparing it to themselves.

That was why he had the confidence to let Puman find any resident to ask about the content of the Code; it wasn't just the statue of the Code, as a large number of books on the Code had also been printed and distributed within the Territory.

Without books as an aid, one couldn't expect those new residents to imagine things out of thin air while learning the language, characters, and the norms of the Code; in Daxia Territory, it could be said that the most common book was the Code, and they had basically achieved one set per person.

And this was largely due to the widespread application of cheap wood pulp paper and printing presses.

Although the former could not yet reach the grade of paper used for Magic Scrolls, it was no problem to replace the daily consumption of the members of the Tower of Time, and the latter was a powerful weapon for the popularization of education.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that without the printing press, there would be no popularization of education.

Puman did not actually pull someone off the street to examine them on the content of the Code, but instead, he couldn't wait to head to Chang'an City; if the surface territory was already so astonishing, what shocking things would the Floating City have!

Taking the Portal, from the Code Plaza on the ground directly to Hengchun Square in the Residential Area of the Floating City, in just a brief moment, Puman felt as if he had arrived in another world.

The spacious and clean roads and the architectural style, which was different from that of the surface, made him think for a moment that he was no longer in Netheril.

With Puman's ability in Art Appreciation, he knew very well that although minimalist buildings in the Netherese style had already appeared in the New City District of Seventon, there was still a long way to go before a style was formed.

As for the Tianshui Plane, that went without saying; it was even more heavily influenced by the Elf style than the Old City District of Seventon, and in the last hundred years, due to the isolation of the Plane, Elves had not appeared, and many people had even come to regard the Elf style as a human tradition.

But Spellcasters like Puman who had the opportunity to come to the Main Plane knew that the influence of the Elf was everywhere, and even more so in closed Other Planes like the Tianshui Plane, only they were unaware of it themselves.

This was actually an important reason why he insisted on letting the people of the Tianshui Plane return to the Main Plane or at least allowing the two Planes to communicate freely; it was to break the illusion and let the Netherese in the Other Plane recognize reality, so that they would have a chance to truly surpass the Elf.

But in the Nan Jing, in Chang'an City, he saw a brand-new state of mind that seemed to be relatively mature and independent of the influence of the Elf.

"Lord Xia Duo, I must say, this is truly an unforgettable journey!"

The same words were mentioned again, showing the shock in Puman's heart; Xia Duo didn't think much of it, as he had seen too many people marvel at the achievements of the Nan Jing, whether it was the Code or the Floating City.

However, he could also understand Puman's current mood; when he had first arrived at the Red Heart Alliance, the shock in his heart was no less than Puman's, and because he knew more about the laws of social progress and the development of civilization, he was even more shocked at that time than Puman was now.

"Lord Puman, the Reception Room has been prepared, please come this way, the Master will be here soon."

Xia Duo did not intend to take Puman to the Tower of Time or the Research Layer, but instead brought him to a private residence near Hengchun Square; this place had basically become Xia Duo's standard for receiving guests.

Of course, if the relationship were closer, he could receive them in the surface territory or the Tower of Time; clearly, Puman had not reached that level yet.

After entering the Reception Room, the two had not been sitting for long when Yinaole also arrived; it looked like the timing was too coincidental.

But in fact, as early as when they were in Pashius Territory, Xia Duo had already notified the other party, but because of the incident of Puman's escape, Yinaole would definitely be specially watched by the Seven Towers, so the two sides agreed to meet using an Astral Projection Avatar.

With Xia Duo providing the guidance signal for the current world at the Tower of Time, Yinaole's Astral Body waited in the Astral Plane; in fact, there was no need to wait, as the special time rules of the Astral Plane allowed him to choose to descend at any future moment corresponding to the current world after entering.

Isn't that just being on call!

That was why Xia Duo had told Puman earlier that there was enough time; the two had been delayed on the road for so long, and Yinaole could still arrive just in time, because it was only after the two arrived at the Reception Room that Xia Duo sent the signal to Yinaole.

"Master." Xia Duo stood up to welcome him.

"Master Yinaole." Puman also bowed in the same way.

"Sit down, both of you!"

Yinaole greeted them and gestured for Xia Duo and Puman to sit down, but when he looked at Xia Duo, he couldn't help but mention, "A bit slow."

"Master, I was showing Puman around the Territory!"

"Hmm." Yinaole nodded, not delving into it, and went straight to the point: "Puman, Xia Duo has already told me about your situation, and I need to ask you a few more questions here."

"No problem, Master, please ask; as long as I know, I will answer truthfully."

Puman knew very well that under the current order system of Netheril, Yinaole's attitude was very critical, to the point that it could almost sway the situation.

Yinaole also knew this, and subsequently took out a Scepter; Xia Duo gave a light exclamation upon seeing this, as it turned out that the top of the Scepter was not some Gemstone or statue, but the precision instrument 【Fate Trajectory】 he had once obtained from Yinaole.

If there was no Holy Power, it could only be used as a precision instrument to measure the changes in the Magic Net on the spot, but if one possessed Holy Power, especially the Holy Power of the Lady of Mysteries, then this thing would become a very powerful tool for prophecy.

Of course, Yinaole did not necessarily use this thing for prophecy this time, but at the very least, it could determine whether Puman was lying and whether the content mentioned was in line with the facts.

Almost the moment Yinaole took out the Fate Trajectory, Puman's expression also became very serious, as if he were waiting for Yinaole's questioning at any time.
