Chapter 740 Now, Norman is here
The establishment of Dawn City was originally just a simple idea of believers.
But when it was really established, the existence of Norwen had a huge impact on the operation of the city.
The help Norwen provided to believers was not just strength.
Faith would become a constraint at the right time.
When mortals received his blessing, Norwen could use rewards and punishments to guide them to good or evil.
The simplest "reward and punishment" mechanism is the change in numerical values.
Doing things that contribute to the better development of the city and completing the tasks assigned by Norwen will get various rewards;
If you try to disrupt the order of the city, Norwen will also punish you by deducting destiny points and withdrawing blessings.
Not only believers who have received Norwen's blessing, but also those who work hard to accumulate contributions will be constrained by this mechanism in the same way.
The reason why Norwen intervened in the operation of the city is simple.
After several months, the scale of Dawn City is now much larger than when it was first built in the disaster.
Ordinary people like Carl's family are rushing to this city.
Even though it is winter now, dozens or hundreds of immigrants arrive every day.
After the monster red tide ends, if nothing unexpected happens, this number will further increase.
As the city expands.
This is no longer a place where believers can accommodate everyone in just one tavern at the beginning, and everyone can let everyone know what they want to do by shouting twice.
Thanks to the efforts of Ray Wayne and the architects and designers he brought from Ceylon City, they designed the city based on what Dawn City would look like 200 years later, and planned and built it at that time.
In short, the stall is very big.
There is no order without rules.
A city, even the most chaotic city, will have its own operating logic.
People can only live in the city by following this logic.
If Norwen hadn't intervened, the believers would probably have their own ideas based on their own strength.
This person hopes that the city can be free enough, and anyone can do whatever they want;
That person thinks that too much freedom is not good, it will make this place a paradise for liars;
Some people think that this city should be used as a "recruiting office" for the Church of Knowledge to expand its territory in the dark forest. A selection mechanism should be set up in this city to select outstanding talents to go outside the border and destroy monsters.
Different goals will disperse the power and even cause conflicts.
What Norwen has to do is to completely determine the direction of development as a god.
…
What kind of city will Dawn City be?
It is easy to build a prosperous or powerful city.
Just pile up materials.
Cultivate more spellcasters and more believers, and let them continue to use magic and divine arts to help the development of the city.
It is not difficult to make it equal and free.
As long as the requirements are unified for everyone and the threshold is lowered to a very low level.
The representative of a powerful and prosperous city is the capital Starosh.
This prosperity comes at a price.
That is the discrimination that the citizens of the capital have against "outsiders", especially against country bumpkins from the border like Pete and Gale.
The citizens of this city will have a strong sense of superiority because of the prosperity of the city, which makes them look up to themselves.
The believers all have a clear feeling during the trip to the capital.
They do not belong to this city and cannot integrate into this city.
For outsiders, even if he spends a huge amount of money to buy his own property in the new city area of the capital, he is still not considered a "local".
Those families in the old city area who may have lived in the capital for hundreds of years are the so-called local circle of the capital.
Norwen saw the changes that King Kenredin tried to make for this.
For example, promoting the construction and development of the new city area, trying to attract more outsiders to enter the city and make them new locals of the capital;
There are also canonization of nobles, creating a new group, and forcibly giving them treatment and status with the power of the kingdom.
But these methods are not effective, especially the latter, it even has a counterproductive effect.
After the birth of the noble group, they formed a community of interests, advancing and retreating together, and did not hesitate to oppose Kenredin to protect their own interests.
As for the city of freedom and equality?
Greenport is free and equal enough.
Especially its downtown area.
The role of the police station and the court is in name only.
A place where even murder can escape punishment is almost equal to no rules. It is indeed an extremely free city.
What is the price?
The high crime rate.
Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar first releases this novel.
Gangs are rampant.
Black-hearted workshops and all kinds of liars, thieves, and robbers emerge in an endless stream.
Anyone who arrives in Greenport can smoothly integrate into the city, and soon become one with the original citizens in the city in a physical sense.
When the environment is so free, the rules of the gangs have become the urban order on which ordinary people rely for survival.
For example, the protection fees paid to the gangs regularly can ensure that their lives will not be harassed by other gangs, and even when they encounter difficulties, they can find gang members to help solve them.
As far as Noven knows.
After the believers of seeking knowledge immigrated and left Green Harbor, more than a dozen gangs of all sizes, such as the Gold Tooth Society, the Willow Lane Gang, and the Black Market Chamber of Commerce, have emerged there, turning Green Harbor's Lower City into a "war-torn" place again, and they are busy fighting for territory.
This is the price of the "freedom and equality" of that city.
Without the Blood Tooth Gang, there will be the Gold Tooth Gang, the Silver Tooth Gang, the Flat Teeth Gang, and the Buck Teeth Gang in the future.
Because Green Harbor's Lower City is a place that is extremely lacking in order.
The city manager, Carloen, does not mind the chaos in the Lower City, he cares about his own business.
The violent order pursued by the gang will naturally become the circulation rule of the Lower City.
...
In addition to the Royal Capital and Green Harbor, there are also various cities such as Stone Fort and Ceylon City, which have their own characteristics and their own order.
No matter which city it is, every citizen living in it will undoubtedly be affected by these city characteristics.
When he really had the opportunity to plan a city, the first thought that Nowen had was actually just one word:
"Happiness".
Yes.
In Nowen's opinion, all kinds of pursuits such as power, prosperity, equality, freedom, etc. are not as good as the word "happiness".
Whether before or after coming to this world.
Nowen has seen too many struggles and sufferings of ordinary people.
They are fragile.
They are ordinary.
But they are tenacious.
Whether it is the gangs or monsters, the church or the nobles, they can't eliminate their expectations for a happy life.
Before this, their abilities were limited, and happiness could only exist in their fantasies.
Now.
Nowen is here.
