"You have the ability to drive Mana very well, and the techniques you use are like none of us have ever seen, so where did you learn this amazing skill from a master?"

"[I am self-taught]--I am so, but Mr. Li Nadu does not believe it...... Well, forget it. Whether you believe it or not, you believe it anyway. ”

Lynard's hidden temptation was blocked by an almost cheeky elastic defense, and Campbell spat angrily at the irresponsible tail of a scoundrel.

"Is this one of your company's trade secrets?"

Mimicking Li Lin's usual tone, mocking Li Nadu's face that overflowed.

"Your Excellency, Commander, look at the history of the human nations and the history of the orcs. Whether it was or is now, if we don't retain a little secrecy, it's not surprising that the elves will go extinct, right?"

A very strict and not too subtle accusation, like to ravage Li Nadu, who was embarrassed and embarrassed, Li Lin continued:

There is no intention of pursuing historical responsibility, but it is just the fact that the credit of mankind has been a bit bad for more than 1,000 years. ”

Under the harsh supervisor-style smile and criticism, fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Nadu's forehead, and his expression became more and more stiff.

After all, the persecution of elves is an open secret that is well known and avoided. Li Nadu was not a dogmatic Templar who adhered to rigid doctrines, nor was he a fool who unreservedly accepted the Church's "de-elves" and "non-masochistic correct view of history" history education. Perennially on the cold, bloody muddy front line, they know far more about the darkness and filth hidden beneath the glossy façade than ordinary people who don't know anything and don't care.

It is precisely because he knows in his heart that it has become a difficult and abnormal thing to abandon his conscience and deny the accusations made by Li Lin with his neck in his neck.

When morality is not on the side of humanity, it is not shameless enough to thoroughly implement the "morality is not necessary" dirty politicians and the like, and it is very difficult to continue the dialogue with Li Lin, and Li Nadu and his companions happen to be not.

"So, you trained and organized this elven army, provided them with money, provided weapons, taught them how to use magical weapons, taught them how to fight—are you ready to throw this force into a war of revenge against humans and orcs?"

Unwilling to continue to whirl around in the political sewage pit with high moral signs, Li Nadu directly revealed the most anxious and urgent questions in his heart. Compared with the troublesome past history and the opponent continue to discuss against one's own side, this question is the most worthy of concern and urgency.

Do elves hate humans and orcs?

There is no doubt that from the old man whose life is about to end, down to the babbling child. None of the elves will not show an extremely hateful attitude when mentioning these two intelligent species, and the family motto of many elf families is to "hate humans, hate orcs." 】

So, will the elves take revenge on humans and orcs?

In the past, they did not have this ability and could only vent in their imagination. Right now...... Revenge on human society is more than enough, and in a state of overheated mind, more radical actions are not impossible.

Whether the elves will do crazy things, and what kind of response will Li Nadu take.

-- Li Lin's answer will determine these two things.

"You are such an honest man, Your Excellency. The reason why you have a difficult relationship with most of your bosses is very clear below. ”

"Please answer my question. ”...,

Seriously and sharply diverted the topic of fooling others to an invisible corner, and the strange smiling face still maintained an indifferent ease after being deflated.

"Humans kill orcs, and orcs kill humans. Inter-ethnic hate killings can be very pleasant for the person involved, but it doesn't solve anything. So far, "prosperity and peace achieved by vendettas" - something that sounds stupid has not only existed, but also nourished both camps. Those of you who have been at the forefront of the fight between the two camps should also know this very well. ”

It's still an unpleasantly condescending gesture, but the content is finally a reality that can be heard.

Li Nadu shook his head wordlessly, and the harsh cross-examination did not let him go.

"The official descriptions and records of your self-organized volunteer army are either mentioned or ominous. After 5 years of research, there are still many unclear points in your general resume. However, one thing is clear. ”

The red pupils that made people experience the chill observed Li Nadu, and the corners of his mouth rose meaningfully.

"Throughout, His Excellency the Commander has been passionate about the battlefield, and considering that this is a civilian knight order built on the basis of enthusiasm and friendship, the style of the leader is undoubtedly a good strategy. But in the later period, those examples of fighting alone, and all kinds of besieged battles that were circulated as beautiful talks...... Is it really going to be a siege?"

didn't miss the unnatural shaking of the middle-aged man's purple eyes, and the red eyes that were playing tricks on others laughed.

"Probably it's stupid, no matter how you look at it, it's like seeing through the truth of the world, and longing to die because of disillusionment. ”

"You're off topic, Your Excellency. ”

His heart skipped a beat, and the immobile middle-aged man blurted out.

"What humans and orcs learn from history is that they learn nothing. ”

Walking around the tent with his hands behind his back, the black-haired boy merrily teased more than a thousand years of history written in darkness, curses, gore, and countless lessons, and the ironic footnotes and the overwhelming sense of existence made a rebuttal pale in comparison.

"Considering that you and the orcs are relatively young, short-lived intelligent species, it is understandable that such a problem arises. In a short life, thinking is limited and impetuous, and the room for being able to take a step back and look at one's own problems calmly and objectively is so narrow that it can be ignored......"

Standing in front of the folding table where the tea set was placed, Sergeant Erhardt, who was responsible for receiving visitors, neatly took out the teacup and prepared black tea, and the young man turned to the side with a mischievous smile at Li Nadu and his party.

"It's like a bunch of kids that make the elders uncomfortable, isn't it?"

It can be said that the extremely unpleasant words constitute a speech that no one else is, and the ugly faces of the human beings do not seem to be within Li Lin's sight.

"We have learned a lesson from this. History should not be forgotten, but neither can it be too attached to the past. ”

Causing Li Nadu to wrinkle slightly, unable to erase the suspicious eyes. As if to abandon the distant barrier, the corners of the young man's mouth further raised and smiled:

"Don't dwell on or shy away from past mistakes, just admit mistakes and make improvements. This is the revival of the spirits—the privilege of being an adult. ”

The beautiful face that picked up the teacup and inhaled the fragrant fragrance was smiling, and the cold smile made Li Nadu's heart tense for no reason.

The reflection of blood-red light that emanated from behind the slender slits of his eyes, and the glamorous smile underneath it made people feel an inexplicably unreal sense of unreality, and unconsciously fell into the rhythm of his pace, and adopted a tendency to agree with this statement.

- Don't do that, don't dance to his rhythm.

Li Nadu let out a shout from a corner of his heart, not accommodating the refutation of others, and continued to speak in a teasing tone. ...,

"We do not seek revenge, but we advocate improvements to the current world system. The wider world needs to learn to listen to the rational speech of [adults], rather than blindly allowing impulsive and irresponsible [children] to mess around. A new world order full of inclusiveness is in everyone's interest. ”

"It's too extreme, too arrogant, and no one will accept it. ”

The depression that was about to explode in the lobes of the lungs and abdomen was exhaled along with the eager assertions, but the mental pressure did not decrease, but became more solemn.

It sounds like the result of an objective analysis with clear regulations and clear ideas, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that the arrogant base point hidden under the façade of idealism is that the elves are more human, orcs, dwarves, and gnomes...... and so on that the world should be dominated by the ideas of the elves.

The Church often preached that human beings were chosen by Mother God from among the many wisdom species to assume the responsibility of spreading the gospel and salvation, and the aristocracy would also disparage the other wisdom species with contempt and pity. The orcs are almost the same, at most the position of the noun is changed.

Li Lin's logic is essentially the same as the clichés of those guys, the difference is that the black-haired boy more systematically and elaborately explains why elves are good and why the world should listen to the rational voice of elves. Compared with the simple and crude slogans of shouting "kill all the humans" and "kill the orcs" at every turn, at least the former, which sounds like gentle persuasion, is more easily accepted by the audience and arouses the hearts of the audience.

Extremists have always been a small minority of the population, and their voices are more than enough to attract the attention of a thrill-seeking public. But unless there are special circumstances, most people are more inclined to accept the centrist argument, that is, the toxic promise called "ideal" after Li Lin has carefully packaged.

The assertion that no one would accept Li Lin's - it was also the logic of the elves. But he knew very well in his heart that as long as Li Lin added a price that was more reasonable than that of the nobles, the royal family, and the church, plus the strength of the elves was not weak. Rarely, no ordinary people will jump out against this theory, and as time goes on, the theory that is constantly repeated will sooner or later become widely accepted common sense.

"Do you want to profess yourself as a god and let all beings worship the elves as gods?"

"I am not keen on playing the trick of idols, and the reason why I ask for the right to speak is out of the need for survival, which can also be said to be a trend. The elves do not expect to relive the old dream of the kingdom of Gilmania, and the following ideas have a positive significance for solving their and the world's dilemmas, and they agree with the idea of [changing the world], and are willing to work together to guide the humans and orcs who have been repeating tragedies and mistakes for thousands of years. We have never thought about such an illusory and distant thing as becoming a god. ”

"How dare you say it. ”

Unable to contain his anger at the pretentiousness, Li Nadu stood up. The burning gaze that was half a head higher than Li Lin hit the smiling face that seemed to be unaffected by external stimuli, like a mask.

"The so-called [the world listens to the voice of the elves] and [the elves guide the humans and orcs] are nothing more than sophistry to put the elves above other intelligent species, and to package the crazy idea of [the elves controlling the world hegemony] under a false cloak and then sell them to the world. What kind of trend do you say this is?"

Li Nadu's accusations became more and more severe, and his voice also rose higher. The curtain of the tent was lifted, and the elven soldiers with guns rushed in, the unsafe black barrel and the unsheathed dagger confronted each other, and a pair of eyes of different colors and sizes glared at each other, and the delicate atmosphere between humans and elves disappeared. ...,

The Verge refers to this situation.

Except for the gunpowder-filled glares of each other, the two racial camps focused on their respective commanders, and the hands holding swords and the fingers holding the triggers moved further as the Knights Commander and the black-haired colonel interacted indirectly. The next opening between the two would determine whether a bloody battle would take place in a tent where the dangerous atmosphere had reached a critical point, or something else.

"Put the gun down, and without an order, casually break in and point the weapon at the guest...... You're so unruly. ”

After the young man gave the order, the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the ground. The young faces full of vigilance and hostility did not exit the tent - Li Lin did not give them the order to [go out], and at the same time, the rude attitude of these humans towards the commander deeply angered the loyal and brave soldiers, even if they knew the strength of the supreme commander of the armed forces, but if this group of humans did anything unkind to the lord they admired, and risked disobedience, they would definitely leave some souvenirs on the guests who did not know how to be polite.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please restrain your subordinates, in a few moments Chloe's nap time should be over, you don't want to stage a battle between adults in front of children, do you? ”

"Put away our swords, our swords will not be raised to those who have no will to fight. ”

After being blown by the wind and frost, the rock-like steady murmur, the neat and uniform action of storing weapons made the elves who had undergone cruel military training secretly admire, Li Nadu's precipitous expression like a metal sculpture was motionless, and there was an angry flame in his shining purple eyes, and the elves who had looked at him for a moment couldn't help but feel furious in their hearts. Li Nadu finally froze the red pupils hidden behind the narrow gap in his eyelids, and looked directly at the red gems that emitted a dark light.

"Your Excellency Li Lin, your ideal is just wishful thinking that with the cooperation of you and the elves, the world will be more perfect after adjusting your ideas, concepts, and structures. ”

The middle-aged man's patient explanation, Li Lin seemed to be listening.

"Every species of wisdom, whether he is a man, a woman, or a child, has this kind of fantasy and longing centered on his own subjective will. But your outstanding ability is a powerful way to turn ideas into reality. There is no intention to comment on this point, and there is no need to criticize the natural talent. What I would like to say below is that the thoughts of the ancient kings were as full of personal thoughts about the world as you are, and their pursuit of their own ideals and ambitions have left a strong mark on the historical records. ”

Not only the ambitious kings, but also the countless young people who longed for heroes, longed for fame, and were even more struck by the Holy War to End the Endless War.

The warrior who had the same dream, swore to defend all life and happiness with the sword of a knight, and woke up at the expense of his youth and companions, let out a sad sigh:

"But who has ever noticed how many lives are expended in the pursuit of kings' dreams? those soldiers and ordinary people are not pawns or a bunch of words and numbers, they are living beings, they have families, lovers, friends—how many lives will be sacrificed for the sake of your dreams and the grievances of the elves? There is no ...... that can escape history At the mercy of fate, the [historical signs] will never point out the way to the end of the war!"

In the face of the middle-aged man's grievances and unbearable anger, the red pupils showed no signs of being moved, and their expressions turned into extremely sinister mockery, and the elves also had strange expressions that wanted to laugh but couldn't.

The bottomed teacup was put back on the tray, forcing the breathless teasing of the humans to float into the ears and scratch the eardrums again. ...,

"Your Excellency Li Nadu, do you think that the world is good enough, that all life is beyond doubt, and that there is no need for the slightest improvement?

The fluttering rhetorical question had a heavy weight that Li Nadu couldn't open.

Poverty, war, plague, corruption, discrimination...... There are enough problems that need to be improved to silence the self-proclaimed bravest and most optimistic idealist.

No matter what the world, no matter what era, there is no such thing as a perfect social structure that does not need to be improved.

"The world is a dynamic concept that is constantly changing, and life as part of it also needs to constantly reinvent itself to adapt to changes in its environment. What is the difference between those who are incapable and those who are capable but do not act, and who allow the organization and society to remain in the status quo -- and those who enjoy vested interests, do not want to make progress, and prevent changes in the right direction?"

The young man's tone is lower than that of Li Nadu, and the emotion when he speaks is not high-pitched, but the carefully set speed of speech will give Li Nadu inexplicable pressure, and as for the content of what he says, it is still an irrefutable reality.

"Conservative vested interests resist a change in their interests, and society gradually begins to corrupt. When the demands of other groups are never answered, they become frustrated, then turn into anger that needs to be vented, and eventually become the trigger for bloody and violent conflicts. This is the law of predestined development. Unrequited love thinks that the status quo is stable, and chooses to ignore the contradictions that are getting out of control and eventually irreconcilable -- that is the foolishness of knowing the facts, still turning a blind eye and continuing to boast of a false peace. Facing up to reality, no matter how ruthless it is, carrying out what should be done to the end is the behavior that capable people should have. ”

In order to survive, it is necessary to fight, and it is necessary to pay.

Whoever is alive must obey the iron rules of this creature.

What you want to get, what you want to achieve. Nor can we rebel against this foundation.

"Happiness is not without a price, and so is peace. Your Excellency is a battle-hardened warrior, and the truth should be clearer than below. ”

Under the merciless accusation, Li Nadu never said anything again.
