Chapter 168: Heavy-Handed Strikes

The next day.

Dawn had just pierced through the darkness.

The light of day slowly grew, as bright sunlight began to gently pour down.

In Bay Town, still bathed in shadows, new and peculiar figures appeared at the gates and in the center of several streets.

Early risers immediately noticed their presence.

Standing at normal human height, their chests bore the Bay Town crest on their robes.

The square-shaped chest robes displayed several lines of text:

"Patrol Golem: Automatically handles disputes, arguments, and disorderly conduct."

"Reports household registry numbers, can answer inquiries about residence, laws, destination points, shops, and products."

"At the command of patrol soldiers, releases the 'Detect Lies' spell. Violators will be charged 30 copper coins for each spell cast!"

"Vandalism or graffiti will result in a deduction of 50 contribution points and a fine of 20 silver coins!"

Most people were curious about them.

Some tried asking them questions, but the Patrol Golems did not respond.

Many began mocking them, but soon, they were left speechless.

Two soldiers approached and, in front of everyone, spoke to the Patrol Golem:

"Patrol Guard No. 132, posing a question."

"Patrol Golem No. 6, responding to your query."

"How do I get to the east gate?"

"Proceed straight along Street No. 6 to the intersection with Street No. 4. Turn right at the crossroads, proceed to the far end of Street No. 4, and follow the wall left for 200 meters to reach the east gate."

"What is the punishment for insulting someone?"

"A fine of 50 copper coins and three days of street cleaning!"

"For fighting..."

"..."

Now, everyone quickly understood the significance of these unique clay golems, and some grew eager to test them out.

The patrol soldiers smiled and encouraged people to try, though at first, they hesitated.

However, after repeated attempts that yielded accurate answers, people quickly became bolder.

But the patrol soldiers soon informed them that each person was only allowed to ask three questions per day, so they shouldn't waste them.

The Patrol Golems stationed at every street corner drew large crowds, as people watched and studied them.

On their way to work, they engaged in lively discussions about the golems.

Aside from the Patrol Golems, there were also several large, towering Rock Golems stationed at the town gates and the Adventurers' Hall.

Written in bold letters on the chests of these mighty Rock Golems were descriptions that piqued the curiosity and amazement of many adventurers:

"Detection Golem: Automatically releases 'Detect Lies' for verifying and issuing tasks."

"Reports adventurer numbers, can recommend tasks, settle tasks, and distribute bounties."

"At the command of patrol soldiers, can enter combat mode!"
