Chapter 519 Pirate Ten Commandments

Star Sea Kingdom, a new kingdom was born under the gaze of the stars.

Hastur, who is sitting high in the Hall of Stars, is not very interested in the name Star Sea Kingdom. It is too simple and ordinary, and has no flaws, although it does represent Bernadette's inner thoughts very well.

The divine right of kings is more interesting.

It seems that Russell did teach Bernadette a lot in the past, and she was indeed his most beloved eldest daughter.

For this era, the state of the country with the divine right of kings is more obscure and is a transaction conducted in private.

There are so many countries in the Northern Continent, and the influence of gods is behind the establishment of each country, but they are not stated openly.

Because the gods don't want the people to know that the establishment of this country was supported by their tacit approval behind the scenes.

The advantage of this is that when the country is too chaotic and lethargic, the object of hatred and hatred of the people will be the royal family itself, and will not be transferred to the gods.

They will still be the best believers of the gods. The misfortunes encountered by the country and individuals will not cause them to direct their anger and resentment towards the gods.

But once you know that the gods are supporting the country, the situation will be different.

Therefore, for the gods, the apparent divine right of kings is not desirable. Anyway, the church is independent from the kingdom and is a special existence.

It's just that there is missing an official official explanation.

At Bernadette's step, he had no intention of interfering, nor did he intend to ask for the power of faith from the Pirate Kingdom. Faith that was not pure enough was also a kind of poison to the gods.

Moreover, he had a hunch that if he really became a god, his anchor would definitely not be these easily accessible believers, but the bright starry sky above his head!

…

After her short speech, Bernadette summoned Cattleya and Edwina in the palace library.

The Royal Capital was built ahead of schedule and the Kingdom Ceremony started ahead of schedule, making Bernadette's time increasingly scarce.

All other matters can be left to Cattleya and Edwina. Only the legal aspect can only be handled by her personally.

Even Backlund's law school professors could only provide her with some relevant advice, and most of them had a natural aversion to disorganized pirates.

Let them make laws for themselves. It is estimated that nine out of ten laws will be death sentences.

For various reasons they are not as useful as Torah books that cannot speak.

As for the talents related to piracy...you are already a barrister. Why do you have to become a pirate because you are not good enough?

Edwina is a self-taught person who became a monk on the way, and is not systematic, so she can only serve as an assistant.

"To make a long story short." Bernadette closed a law book and looked at Cattleya, "You will be responsible for the founding ceremony on January 1st of the new year and all related matters."

"I won't let you down!" Cattleya accepted the task.

"Edwina, during this period you need to stay in the library to accompany me in sorting out and formulating the relevant laws. You must complete this code before January 1st."

"It's an honor." Edwina bowed gracefully, "I am also very interested in the founding code of the Star Sea Kingdom."

Cattleya was subconsciously disgusted to hear that Edwina could always stay with the queen, but she also knew that she could not compare with Edwina in this regard.

Alas, after winning a Miss Magician, another Iceberg Lieutenant General came, and I really couldn’t relax for a moment!

…

December 7, Sunday, Backlund.

As the New Year approaches, the streets of Backlund become more and more lively, and even the workers are full of anticipation for the New Year these days.

During this period, a ridiculous thing happened. It is said that some royal staff member suggested that all factories in the Kingdom of Loen should not have a holiday on New Year's Eve and adjust the holiday to the end of the year.

The reason is: the closer to the end of the year, the busier all aspects become and the more inseparable they are from people.

Fortunately, the Loen royal family discovered the opposition from various places against this arrangement and hurriedly canceled the adjustment plan of not having a holiday on New Year's Eve.

As for the staff member, it is said that many people threw rotten eggs at his home. When he was sleeping in the middle of the night, he was dragged out of bed and hung on the bright street lamp.

There are many things happening in Backlund every day, and there are many kinds of news that can be published in newspapers. Soon no one cares about the follow-up of that staff member.

He should be dead, someone said.

It was rare that the clouds and fog parted, revealing the red sun in Backlund. The sun was just right, and Hastur led Azshara out for shopping, and on the way to where Sharon and the temperance sect were.

It had been a long time since Sharon had fully digested the puppet potion and left home.

Mainly because Azshara wanted to see her mother Sharon.

On the carriage, Hastur was thinking about how to mention things about the future to Sharon later. He suddenly sensed something and asked the driver to stop the carriage and take Azshara to a nearby high-end Intis-style restaurant. .

When Hastur and Azshara sat down and ordered a few of the signature dishes here, Bernadette came over naturally and sat opposite Hastur.

Azshara tensed up as if faced with a powerful enemy, her hands tightly grasping Hastur's arm, her eyes filled with vigilance.

"It's been a short time since we last met, but your child with Sharon has grown so big." Facing Azshara's vigilance, Bernadette just chuckled and spoke.

"It's normal for children to grow up fast." Hastur patted Azshara's head, indicating that she didn't need to be so vigilant. "If you are not used to it, you can go back to the carriage and wait for me."

Azshara shook her head and sat quietly aside without saying a word.

"I'm going to pick up Sharron's family for a reunion later. If you have anything to say, please keep it short. I believe you still have a lot of things to deal with."

"I just went to Backlund's law school and happened to meet your teacher, Professor Wayne. He has extensive legal knowledge, but unfortunately many of his ideas are not suitable for the Star Sea Kingdom, and he is not interested in helping me formulate a new code. He is more keen on changing the existing laws of the Loen Kingdom."

"He has never had a good impression of pirates."

"Yes, so he recommended you to me, saying that your thinking logic is different from that of ordinary legal practitioners, and maybe you can help me a little."

"So that's the case."

Hasta nodded, was silent for a while, and organized the somewhat scattered knowledge a little.

He did have a certain interest in the laws of the Pirate Kingdom, and he had thought about the formulation of many related laws and regulations.

He did not immediately give Bernadette the answer she wanted to hear, but first asked Bernadette about the general content and direction of the current code.

Who knows if Roselle had expressed similar views to himself at the time.

Fortunately, Roselle, who is good at creating a knowledgeable personality, did not tell Bernadette too much about pirates. After all, Roselle did not expect that his sweet little cotton jacket would become a big pirate who roamed the sea in the future.

"I have never been a pirate, so my understanding of pirates may not be so comprehensive. I hope this will not mislead your thinking."

"I am looking forward to different ideas." Bernadette put on an elegant posture of listening.

"My vision of pirate laws can be summarized into four points."

"First, everyone on the ship has fair voting rights, which is a sacred right that everyone should have by birth."

"Second, citizens of the pirate kingdom are prohibited from fighting and killing each other. This is a prerequisite for maintaining the stability of the kingdom. If there is a deep hatred, fighting can be carried out under the witness of official institutions."

"Third, respect private property. Pirates are often confused by the golden coins. They want to plunder other people's wealth, but they can't keep their own wealth."

"Fourth, the level of the spoils distribution system is determined. Unequal distribution of spoils is definitely a taboo for pirates. There must be a fair and convincing spoils distribution system to avoid regrettable things."

After Hasta finished speaking, he took a sip of the jasmine tea from the Republic of Intis on the table. Flower tea is a popular tea drinking culture in Intis, especially among the nobles.

After thinking and savoring Hasta's four pirate fantasies, Bernadette's eyes showed surprise, "It's hard to imagine that you have never been a pirate."

"I haven't reached the point where I need to go to the sea to plunder for a living."

"I'm just surprised at your understanding of pirates. This is not an opinion that someone who only knows how to read books at home can say."

"During the time I was stationed in South Wales, I have seen and killed many pirates."

Bernadette put away the surprise in her eyes and smiled: "Do you have any more specific suggestions?"

Hasta thought for a while, and then said in a calm tone: "I have indeed thought about related issues. As for whether it is appropriate, you have to judge for yourself."

"Every crew member on the ship has equal voting rights, but the captain's orders, as long as they do not violate brotherhood, must be obeyed. "

"Those who steal their companions' property will be abandoned on a deserted island, and those who cheat their companions should also be punished, and in serious cases, they can be put to death."

"Gambling on the ship is strictly prohibited, private fighting is strictly prohibited, women and children are not allowed to be brought on board, those who desert in battle will be killed, and crew members injured in battle can receive necessary compensation."

"When distributing the spoils, the captain can take 20% of all the property, the deputy captain 5%, the boatswain and the ship maintenance technicians together get 10%, and all armed sailors will share 30%. Those who fight bravely can get extra rewards, and the rest will be distributed to the logistics personnel who assist in the battle. "

"These are the eight pirate commandments I have summarized."

In order to prevent suspicion caused by too much repetition, Hasta deliberately deleted two of the ten pirate commandments and slightly changed some of the content.
