"It's good to like knowledge, and there's no shame in speaking it out loud with your chest puffed up. It is very remarkable that children can shout "I like to learn" completely spontaneously and consciously without urging or persecution, and they can be praised by adults. β
It is difficult to discern Li Lin's true intentions, and Luo Lin stood up suddenly, and was at the same level as the squatting boy, and questioned his [guardian] in a choked voice:
"What a great statement, can I praise my father, my mother, my nun...... Aren't you the one who killed everyone in the village?!"
A low roar full of gloom is more real and oppressive than a loud shout that vents feelings, and it also resonates more with the soul.
Li Lin is his guardian, and he is the killer who killed all the villagers of Bode Village, and he is Roland's uncommon enemy.
"I don't deny it and I don't regret it, that's how I do things, the way adults live. β
The infinite energy and nanomachinery continue to repair the blessings of chromosome telomeres, and the pendulum of life is forever fixed at the age of 16, and the adolescent face that has no chance of aging and ugliness does not back down, calmly withstanding the burning gaze that is constantly heating up.
Without pity, self-deprecation, sympathy, or apology, Li Lin asked a simple transactional and steady question:
"Before, you asked me, 'Is it great?' I can sue you nowβyes. Even if you kill innocent people, even if you destroy one or two villages, even if you kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people, you can be tolerated greatness and greatness. β
"You're ......!!"
Unable to find enough words to express hatred and murderous intent, he grabbed the placket of his black clothes with both hands.
"This greatness does not come from the existence of [Li Lin] as an individual, nor does it simply come from my strength. I am just a vessel that carries many calls and demands, and the act of responding to them is given the definition of great and great. β
"You say it's a request from the surroundings? Stop talking nonsense! Everyone in the village hasn't done anything bad! There's no reason why people will be hated or even asked to be killed!!"
"If this is the long-cherished wish of the elves to change the world after being banished to the edge of hell, you will understand, right?
I didn't care about being grabbed by a child's clothes, and I didn't hesitate to answer the angry question in front of Roland, who was stunned for a moment.
"Change...... The world?"
Beyond cognition and imagination, too ethereal, without any sense of reality, Roland muttered and repeated the goal.
"That's right, change this world dominated by humans and orcs and open the way to a new future. β
The voice of the speaker pressed against his neck, and there was no passionate sharpness that burned Roland's thoughts.
"The elves are looking forward to this, and many lives are also tired of this corrupt and cruel world, looking forward to a rainstorm that cleanses the world, what we have to do ......"
"Don't call yourself a savior!You're a murderer!!"
"Like your father, he is a killer who takes the lives of others. β
The finger poked lightly at the little head, and before a new questioning rebuttal appeared, a word made Roland's heart stomp into the air.
"Knights of the Sacred Sword Volunteers. Because the regimental flag is ingeniously embroidered with a golden hen, it is also called the Golden Hen Knights. The commander was a paladin who wielded the holy sword Dirandar and fought bravely on the battlefield, and his name wasβ"
dragged out the long tail note, recorded the boy's dazed and bewildered appearance and locked it into the library, and the name that the boy spat out floated into Roland's heart from afar.
"Linardo Dark. β
"Daddy ......"
The hand that grabbed the hem of the shirt lost its strength, and Roland groaned blankly.
His father was a knight and a paladin. But neither the parents nor the adults in the village had ever mentioned this, and it was the first time that the [Golden Hen Knights] had heard it. ...,
"Eight years ago, the Pope personally assigned the Golden Hen Knights to carry out a mission to eliminate heresy, and after that, all the members of the Order have not been heard from. Before that, the Order had been a great order, especially on the side of the Duchy of Rus'. When it comes to the name of the White Devil Lenard, the crying child will also keep his mouth shut, do you want to ask Pascal and them when you go back and hear what they have to say?"
In order to further shake the young heart, a warm breath brushed the boy's ears.
"In order to save the country, for the sake of the human compatriots from being killed and enslaved by the orcs, should Li Nadu, who killed countless orcs with a sword, be regarded as a murderer?"
A logical trap, an ingenious concept swap.
Roland, a child, has no answer to this wonderful paradox.
It is impossible for him to slander his father as a murderer, but if he admits the legitimacy of killing for the sake of justice. Then in order to change the injustice of the world and resist the oppression of the elves by the human orcs, Li Lin's destruction of Miè Bode Village is also legitimate, and Roland must not agree with this.
He is still just a child, and he has not yet learned to use the cunning and position dichotomy of adults to deal with this dilemma of contradictory laws, so he can only open his eyes and look at Li Lin who is smiling lightly.
"There are so many parts of the adult world that you can't understand yet, it's enough for you to know a little bit now-"
Widening the distance, the boy's face was just enough to fill Roland's field of vision.
"Your father and I have nothing in common in our ideas and actions. But none of us regret using the knife, and the guy who kills with a weapon must be prepared to be killed. β
Unable to speak and resist, Roland was pulled to the corner where he put his luggage. Without asking Li Lin what to do, the dark sword box was placed in his arms, and the unexpectedly heavy weight crushed the boy to the ground.
"It's heavy, isn't it? a lot of words, but what's behind this Gramm's sheath is many times heavier than this one. β
The blue flames painted a strange luster on the intricate carvings outside the box, and the little hands on the wood couldn't help but tremble.
"Power is not given by God, but is the product of a multitude of expectations. Those who are endowed with great authority are given the responsibility of responding to expectations and fulfilling wishes. All the way to death, even after death. This qiΔ will accompany the person who has been empowered. β
The gods are like this, the demon kings are like them, and so is Li Nadu.
Li Lin was also endowed with a heaviness that could not be rejected by the elves, and became a [Prayer Incarnation] like Gramm's Sheath.
"I ...... I don't understand. Why do you have to kill and kill? Why don't you treat people as human beings? Why do humans, elves, orcs ...... Do you have to live like this?"
The wavering voice of the child came.
For adults, these principles are too heavy and difficult to face.
Roland only knew a little about the word "responsibility", and even if he had personally experienced the fanatical trust and admiration that the elves had given to Li Lin, he couldn't fully understand the reason.
But.
Is the world as good as it is now?
No.
Look at the people of Viipuri, look at the children in the cages, look at the robbers in the forest, look at the gloomy millers, and even Roland knows that the world is not all as peaceful and serene as the little world of Bode Village, and there is no need to worry about filling your stomach and having a place to stay.
The world will not be gentle with life.
"If you want to cry, just cry. Even adults sometimes feel like crying. β
A strong hand wrapped around Roland, and the boy wanted to push it away, but his arm didn't use any strength at all, so he could only let Li Lin hold him.
He couldn't do anything, and this sense of powerlessness made Roland burst into tears.
That's all he can do now.
-- Crying like a baby, crying out all the sorrow and confusion that has accumulated in the bottom of my heart.
"Dad!Mom!What should I do......!!Who will sue me for !!?"
The body trembled, and the heart and soul were shaken. Losing the brake to control emotions, Roland, who was hugged by Li Lin, cried loudly.
"Live and try to think. β
Cold, but with an incredibly warm sentence. Unable to fathom why the boy who said this had the strange feeling of sympathy, Roland closed his eyes, wallowing in the pain of anxiety and weeping, and finally lost consciousness in the peaceful and warm darkness.
