Chapter 2728: Deepening Legal Education, Inspecting the Fountain

~8 min read 1,465 words

Very quickly, Xia Duo and Yatewude rode the wind to the front of the Cultural Center, not far north of the Elemental Fountain. The small square here was also almost filled with territory residents who had come to watch and were eager to go to the fountain pool to catch fish.

Xia Duo's arrival attracted the gazes of many surrounding residents. Many people's eyes revealed a look of hesitation, not knowing why the Lord had come at this time.

But based on their judgment of Xia Duo's predictable behavioral patterns from the past, these residents were not worried that anything bad would happen. They mostly felt that the Lord had seen the chaos here and wanted to regulate the fishing order.

As for the fish in the pool, no one believed the Lord could eat them all by himself. In the end, they would certainly flow to the Territory Canteen, and all residents would have a chance to satisfy their cravings.

Moreover, judging by the current situation where schools of fish were constantly gathering against the current, the catch this time would not be small.

"My Lord."

Jibu pushed through the crowd to arrive before Xia Duo and bowed to him. Immediately after, he called for his subordinates, the security officers, to maintain order. With Xia Duo here, the small square in front of the Cultural Center immediately became orderly.

The crowd was generally divided into two parts: one part was just there to watch the excitement and stood to the west, while the other part was prepared to catch fish and had lined up in five long queues, winding from the edge of the pool toward the north.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo was somewhat gratified that the residents could spontaneously organize themselves in a very short time, but at the same time, he was also somewhat disappointed, because these things only happened after he arrived.

After he arrived, the residents still swarmed down, only barely maintaining a modicum of order.

After understanding the cause and effect, Xia Duo also successfully located the diffusion range of the Three-Light Divine Water. The Three-Light Divine Water itself is very difficult to detect, but the magic aura it emits has certain differences from special water.

The purpose was to resolve the Magic Net tangles left behind after rapidly repairing the Magic Net; it was actually a "sequela," manifesting in the form of an Elemental Fountain.

The natural resources in Nan Jing are basically still in an undeveloped, pristine state, so there is no need to specifically farm fish or anything like that.

But looking at the situation here, strictly speaking, it is not considered chaotic, at least it has not reached the standard of chaos defined by law, so people naturally do whatever is convenient for them.

Although this kind of convenience, as perceived by the residents, is not actually more convenient than organizing good order, at least for an individual's personal experience, it is more in line with human comfort.

Besides this, there is also a type of grass carp in the Maihete River called the 【Spotted Long-tailed Fish】, which is also relatively common. Of course, there is no shortage of catfish, loach, white shrimp, and the like in the river here.

One must know that Wofu Bao Lake is located roughly in the middle of the vast space between Great Xia Territory and the Nether Core Region. If it continues for a while, wouldn't it be possible to detect the aura radiation of the Three-Light Divine Water even near Seventon?

Of course, there were no fights or conflicts over grabbing fish. On one hand, the people from the Security Office were watching here, and on the other hand, the territory has relevant laws that both punish those who disrupt order and reward those who maintain it.

And going north from Wofu Bao Lake, there is first a section from north to south, and only after that is it from south to north. The Netheril River in the narrow sense starts here, goes all the way north until it reaches Seventon, and then flows into the Narrow Sea.

Of course, the Netheril River does not flow in one direction from south to north. The Maihete River section flows from south to north into Wofu Bao Lake, and a little further south, it flows from north to south into the basin lake.

At this moment, the two fish sent by the security officer were divided between Xia Duo and Yatewude, one for each to inspect.

Based on what Xia Duo has detected so far, there are traces of Three-Light Divine Water aura radiation all the way to Wofu Bao Lake in the north.

Therefore, Xia Duo on one hand lamented that order construction had achieved results, and on the other hand, he lamented that order construction still had a long way to go; at the moment, just a small matter had already shown a hint of chaos.

However, the law is not omnipotent and cannot stipulate all possibilities of social development. For this kind of sudden situation, there are not many applicable detailed legal clauses, and it is more based on the higher-level principle of maintaining order.

Afterward, it continued to transform into the material form of water, flowing west along the artificially excavated Linshui River and into the north-south flowing Maihete River.

Therefore, the Wolfburg River and the basin lake are two keys that relate to the diffusion efficiency of the Three-Light Divine Water. Going against the current can indeed spread it, but it is ultimately inconvenient.

The other one is rarer; it is a Golden Scale Salmon. Because of its growth environment, growth cycle, and other factors, it is usually very rare, and accordingly, the price is relatively expensive.

After all, the pool was packed with fish, and a person could catch one just by reaching out to the edge of the pool; it couldn't even be called catching, it was basically picking them up.

Very quickly, a young security officer under Laidun sent two fish to Xia Duo. One was locally called 【White Scale】; it is actually a type of perch and is also one of the most common fish species in the area.

After all, in a sense, the law can never be perfect, but mainstream civic consciousness can still be built.

Out of the idea of preserving a territory landscape, even if Xia Duo had the ability to completely repair the local Magic Net later, he did not dismantle the fountain but optimized it slightly.

Calling this place a fountain is fine, and calling it an Element Pool is also fine; it's just that the energy gathered here was not stored but transformed into Element Water in a critical state.

Yatewude mainly used Natural Holy Power to judge its impact on the human body, while Xia Duo mostly checked and tracked the Three-Light Divine Water aura on the fish.

……

After a moment, Xia Duo finished his inspection and returned the fish to the security officer, then proceeded to cast a spell to investigate the state of the Elemental Fountain. This Elemental Fountain was built by an Arcanist from the 【Hand of Secrecy】 back then.

As an Elemental Fountain built as a landscape at the time, it possessed a certain degree of restraint over the Water Element within its eruption range. Therefore, Xia Duo actually detected that a considerable portion of the Three-Light Divine Water components that attracted the fish were still constrained within the fountain pool.

After some adjustments, the order around the Elemental Fountain was much better, and there were even many empty spaces around the fountain pool, but the flow of the crowd still had no obstruction at all.

But because the water was flowing, and it was flowing outward from the pool, it inevitably flowed into the Maihete River, thereby attracting a large number of fish schools.

……

At this moment, Xia Duo thought about perfecting the law, but even more, he wanted to continue deepening the legal education work, letting the residents fully feel the benefits of order and the benefits of cooperation, so that even if the law is not perfect, people's hearts will still be settled.

Through the range of its aura radiation, one can roughly infer the diffusion range of the Three-Light Divine Water.

If a major event were to occur, and it were a major event not yet covered by law, what kind of situation would that be?

Currently, what is erupting from the spring eye in the center of the pool is nearly pure Water Element. During the eruption process, more than half is transformed into Element Water, falling slowly from the eruption height in an umbrella shape, and the edge of the umbrella shape is the edge of the fountain pool.
