867 A Buffoon (1/2)
”If this is the case, someone or some force must be maintaining Bound of Universe's law and order? Then who's the one to do so? Bound of Universe's imperial court?” asked Yun Yang.
”What imperial court? The martial world is the martial world. What even about the imperial court?”
The fatty looked at Yun Yang with a despising gaze.
”There's no such person or force that can upkeep this law. This is a supernatural power that lives through the whole Bound of Universe… It's passed down that this law was personally decided by the Lord Sovereign back then. The power of the celestial punishment is also arranged by him!”
”Lord Sovereign is a terrifying presence who can eliminate the entire Bound of Universe with a spit. Who dares disobey him?”
”Therefore, the Bound of Universe's martial world is a place of law and order!”
”Here, you can be in any profession. As long as you work hard, as long as you make something out of your effort, you'll be recognized. But each profession, each career, has its ethics. Some jobs that are more unique, those that are not mentioned in the law, you mustn't think that you've gotten an advantage. The professions that aren't governed by the law will still be restricted by the martial world's regulation. Besides, all the rules will be attached to such occupations, resulting in more restraints…”
”When you first dwell in the martial world of Bound of Universe, it's best to pick a profession that you're suitable in. Whether it be assassin, bandit, escort, bodyguard, merchant, physician, or even roles in intelligence, fortunetelling, transportation, thievery, and prostitution, any occupation that works with people is fine…”
”But rules are rules – no one shall overstep them! Once you infringe it, there's no distinction between small and severe punishments. There's only one way to go – death! Your soul and physique are both extinguished!”
Stringent law and uncompromising penalty!
Yun Yang could not help pondering, ' Won't the world be much more peaceful this way?'
At least, the weaker ones were protected by the world. The Lord Sovereign's law sat well with Yun Yang. It was just that these rules and regulations took Yun Yang a lot of effort before they were digested. Even if there were parts he found difficult to understand, he committed them to memory so he could consider them again when he was free.
”What about the martial levels in Bound of Universe? How's the partition of forces? What are the big schools and clans and organizations…”
Yun Yang threw a bunch of questions. After all, these were the issues he was the most concerned with.
”Ay, it's irritating how you guys don't know anything. You think that only you can only depend on martial forces when you roam the martial world?” the fatty complained condescendingly before he rattled on in explanation, ”It's like so…”
”Why not let us drink some wine while we talk?”
”Then we must look for a good spot.”
”Alright.”
From the initial combat and critical life and death threats to the current drinking session, Yun Yang as the initiator did not feel absurd but the fatty's reaction was spontaneous like it was a matter of course. He was simply a quirky man to behold.
He knew that his cultivation base was lacking compared to Yun Yang and the both of them were in contradicting stances, battling for life, in which he was even in a less than advantageous state. For the fatty to be able to act so excitedly, he was truly a buffoon, doing what others could not.
His interest and thrill was palpable, at least in Yun Yang's eyes. If he was still acting, he would be worthy of an Oscars award.
