Chapter 30: Special Law of Vikir (3)
-Vikir Special Law, Article 1, Paragraph 1-.
-The person who pulls this stake (hereinafter referred to as "the stake") shall be paid 100,000,000 gold immediately, as determined by Deputy Vikir Van Baskerville.
A law made and enforced by the young Deputy Magistrate at the age of fifteen, upon his first appointment.
No one in the legislature objected to this law being made.
No one in the legislature objected to the law being enacted, because they had no idea what it was for or what it was intended to do.
The citizens looked dumbfounded.
"What, you're going to give us 100 million?"
"You've got to be kidding me. One hundred million gold is four years' worth of rust rods for ordinary people."
"You're offering 100 million for a wooden stick?"
"What's this for, a show?"
People chattered. They all stare at Vikir with unreadable expressions.
