20. The dice have been dropped! (19)

"Good work. ”

The man in front of him didn't look back, and his cold back dropped a greeting that was neither salty nor light. The long-eared wisdom standing beside him bent down and saluted, his movements were generous and decent, coupled with his dignified and skillful and heroic appearance, there was a sense of visual beauty. However, if you want to ask the other party how much respect she has, Lukoya thinks that it is really too much.

Under normal circumstances, it is unimaginable for the wise species to be disrespectful to the ancient species. Even if they don't need to use the effect of "dragon power", in front of a dragon with their eyes open, the wise people can only imagine how they will be eaten or trampled in their wet pants. Now...... Well, if someone has a strong enough outstanding leader, don't say that they ignore it, even if this one wants to experience the feeling of a dragoon on a whim one day, the dragon family up and down, from the thousand-year-old dragon to the little female dragon with an eggshell still stuck to the buttocks, all have to obediently lie on the ground, waiting for the adult to choose the lucky one (unlucky) to show his MAX level riding skills.

From planes, missiles, submarines, black dragons, dangerous species, chimera, female elves...... Ahem...... Anyway, if you can ride, this adult has ridden it all (Roland: This is a fighter in Rider...... Li Lin: I am a man who has become the king of riding. ), ride a female dragon...... Ahem, it should be fine.

The topic is a bit far away.

Lukoa didn't have much of a problem with Li Lin's lukewarm attitude, and even Brunhill's attitude didn't make her feel or have any mood swings.

Times have changed.

The stale things of the old times are being crushed and swallowed up by the tide of the times, and in the whirlpool of ambition and strategy, iron and blood, strength is everything. In the process of breaking down traditions and revealing a new order washed away from tons of blood, nostalgia for the past and escapism are deadly poisons that can kill not only oneself but also those around us. If you want to protect yourself and your people from drowning in the tide of the times in troubled times, you must either take advantage of the situation or choose a side. Considering the comparison of strength of all parties, as well as various internal circumstances, hugging Alfheim's thigh is almost the only way out for the dragons.

Neutrality?Rebel against the Divine Will Agent with the Human?Believe it or not, you made a decision in the morning, and a certain demon king went to the dragon gathering place at noon to have a barbecue meeting, and after the event, he blew up the entire gathering place to show you?

Perhaps humanists and internationalists cannot agree that the relationship between nations and populations has always been based on the brutal law of the jungle and social Darwinism. This is not the case even in the era of international coordination, not to mention that the world is still in a stage where imperialism is flourishing and racism is rampant.

If you don't have the strength, you have to disobey the strong, and there is only one way to perish.

Not to mention that this strong man is still creepy, and it is unreasonably strong.

Not to mention the powerful weapons, even the distance, whether hundreds or thousands of kilometers, was just a threshold for him and his men to cross with a lift of their feet. For this group of people who can easily subvert their values and strategic outlook so far, and who seem to be omnipotent, what other person, country, or organization can be called an opponent? As long as Li Lin is willing, the conquest of the world is simply a process that only needs to be calculated in hours.

To be the enemy of such a monster, even just thinking about it makes Lukoa shudder.

But Valrhona ......

"Your Excellency Quezal Koattel, do you believe in justice?"

The sense of disobedience across the space and the worry of being rejected, the worry about Valrhona and the whole clan have not yet subsided, and the sudden question makes Lukoa a little stunned. The diplomatic rhetoric and cost calculations in my head suddenly got stuck, and all that was left was a blank.

"You say...... Is it just?"

"That's right. ”

Lucoya's resolute response made Lukoa even more unturned, the word justice could come out of this man's mouth without any mockery, what the hell was he thinking?

Hiding her uneasiness and disobedience, Lukoa carefully replied.

"I want to ...... Justice that most people agree on exists. ”

"Pretty standard answer. ”

Fingers tap lightly on the tabletop as if they were tapping the keys of a piano, followed by a sound like poetic music.

"I think there is justice. ”

Regardless of the criterion of measurement, as a universally recognized concept, "justice" does exist in people's hearts. Even the thugs and terrorists who committed brutal acts have the premise of "justice and injustice" when they argue that "we know that we are not on the side of justice, so it is useless to condemn us with reason".

What is evil.

What is cowardice.

What is brutality.

Without the premise of justice, it cannot be established, and atrocities can even be rationalized as the natural actions of wild beasts.

"My people and I have our justice, and we will not fail to uphold justice ourselves, but let others carry out justice. Nor do we use 'injustice' to cover up contradictions. This is war, and it is also a struggle between different justices and opinions. Our justice, Charlemagne's justice, Roland's justice – all kinds of justice decides who is right through guns rather than verbal arguments. ”

"Oral arguments are inconclusive and meaningless...... Is it?"

"Negotiations are not impossible to solve problems, but there has never been a country that has been established and borders changed by negotiations. In conclusion, when the conflict of interests and ideologies cannot be reconciled, there is no other means of resolution than war. ”

"Even if the other party has a deep marriage with himself?"

"That's right. ”

The rhythm of fingers tapping on the table was not chaotic, and the soothing music echoed in Lucoia's ears.

"'They forget the ultimate goal and only see the possibilities in front of them, and they are simply abandoning the basics' and 'not giving up the possibilities, continuing to pursue the ideal' - the justice of both sides has its rationality and legitimacy, and when no one can convince anyone, in order not to miss the opportunity to change the world, in order to be responsible for their own position and the majority of the people. Whether it's Roland or I, the only thing I can do is to be a national civil servant or a member of the camp to which I belong, and face it head-on. This is the insistence of each other, and it is also the sincerity of each other. ”

"You ......"

"Now that he has made his choice, there is no use in dwelling and worrying. ”

The percussion stopped, and the soft sound reverted to its steely tone.

"Please tell Your Excellency the Great Elder that I am very satisfied with the attitude of the Dragon Clan, please rest assured. We will try to deal with these matters in an appropriate manner as far as possible. ”

“...... Impressed"

After bowing, Lukoa turned and exited the command hall, the noise and movement quickly obliterating her trace.

"Is that okay?"

Brunhill leaned over and asked:

"Shouldn't we put some more pressure on the dragons?"

"Not necessarily. Now that the other party has fully demonstrated sincerity, we must also soften our figures. What's more, we can make the other party owe us a favor at the lowest price, and we can still earn it in the long run. At this time, being too greedy will cause unnecessary losses. ”

"That's what you're saying. ”

"There's a lot more we have to do, and we have to take a long-term view, so—"

The corners of his mouth slowly hooked upward, and a mocking voice sounded without a smile:

"There's really not much time to debate truth and justice with young people who are obsessed with right and wrong. ”

Children care about right and wrong.

Adults only care about success or failure.
