12. Meeting, Dance Party (9)

A sentence can be described in different ways.

Civilized people will say "those who know the times are handsome", the rude will say "believe it or not, Lao Tzu will stand up for you", and the straightforward will say "Be good, give sugar." Cheap, slap mouth".

Roland used as euphemistic expression as possible, but for Diana, the content itself was extremely blasphemy.

"Enough. ”

Diana looked straight at Roland, her face turning cold.

"Do you want to say that your company is the one who holds the trend of the times?"

"I can't assert this kind of thing, I only say what I know, and it's up to you to judge and choose. ”

"This is a sophistry to shirk responsibility. ”

"Miss Diana, listen to meβ€”"

Resisting the urge to nod in agreement, and disgust at the role he was playing, Roland lowered his gaze.

"In order to promote the agreement on naval arms control and persuade the stalemate countries, Her Highness is about to set up for LΓΌdes. ”

A happy gaze flashed, and the next moment Diana, who had always remained elegant, turned a sinister face.

"What glad news, Mr. Roland. ”

Don't look at me like that, I don't like to play this role-

Swallowing this whining sentence into his stomach, Roland continued to speak without hindrance as he read the lines.

"All people are looking forward to peace, this is the current of the collective, the entire camp of humanity, and the will of the Holy See. ”

β€œ......!!”

The corners of her mouth twitched, and Diana seemed to want to say something, and finally closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

The Holy See wants peace. She had long known that the injury and rescue of Roland was also due to the mission of tracking Salome in order to prevent the peace negotiations from being disrupted. In order to prevent the human camp from falling into a civil war, the Holy See is willing to pay any price for this, including letting my sister leave the Holy Capital and suppressing the forces that cling to their interests and are unwilling to give in. What Roland said is undoubtedly true. As a member of the Holy See, a person who specializes in difficult matters, Diana knows it well. What should I do next?

Position determines action. It has always been so.

"I see, Mr. Roland is here to tell me the direction of the trend. ”

"Ahhh......h Yes, I'm sorry. ”

Rubbing his hands back and forth, Roland showed a sullen expression. The self-loathing and emptiness that forced women to submit made the chest cold.

This is the wrong way of the devil. Whatever the justification is, it doesn't change that. With peace, righteousness. To bend other people's thoughts, that's what he hates the most...... Li Lin's approach.

- Then you have to choose to be alone. Watch the world fall into flames. See the corpses everywhere with your own eyes, and then confess to the undead that you had the opportunity to stop the war, but did nothing because of moral purity?

When Li Lin explained the task, the rebuttal of his own refusal was still in his ears, and he felt even more bitter than at that time, and Roland raised his head again to look at Diana.

It is his responsibility, it is his sin, and he has a duty and obligation to continue.

"Please believe in me and in our goodwill for peace. ”

"Goodwill, your company?"

After moistening his throat with coffee with a blank face, Roland replied:

"All qiΔ“ originated from good intentions. Church missionary trails, profitable business operations, parents passing on land to their children - all born out of goodwill. ”

"You're just acting with selfish motives, designing frames in order to eliminate competitors. In order to monopolize the market, collude with officials-"

"But because of this, someone was rescued. ”

Cutting off the accusation, Roland put down his coffee cup.

"Charlemagne's economic situation tended to improve because of the V.E., because the middle aristocracy was attacked, the taxing power was unified, and the phenomenon of 17 taxes being levied from village to village was curbed. Business activity tends to be active, the market is driven, and unemployment is reduced. The number of deaths from starvation and disease is the lowest in history. ”

Diana choked up on the detailed figures, which were completely different from the theological debates that drew from the Holy Scriptures, and the materialist dialectical thinking, which was based on numbers, statistics, charts, and reports, without any room for emotional intervention, was an opponent she had not encountered before.

That's the right thing to say. ”

With a wry smile, Diana drank the cold coffee.

"Can managing the market, controlling public opinion, and managing people's hearts be regarded as goodwill?"

"In terms of results and purpose, yes. ”

Wearing a cheeky adult mask, Roland almost turned his face away and escaped from Diana's sight.

Although Li Lin and Brunhill did not mention it, Roland knew very well that behind the recent series of disputes there is the shadow of the consortium, while controlling the economic lifeline of the human race, the elven camp has also learned to manipulate even the war, and the intermittent wars under management promote the operation of the gears of the economy, which in turn drives the changes in the political map, brewing the next round of disputes, and at the right time, manipulating public opinion to detonate a new round of circulation......

Under the gray social system of war, economy, and politics are like an endless waltz, can a product of goodwill be brewed? Even if there is goodwill in it, it is only a unilateral existence of the elven camp.

Breaking off these thoughts that made him depressed, Roland clasped his hands together and pressured again:

"I repeat that the world needs peace, and this is not only the opinion of our company and the church, but also the prayer of most people, including me. Whether or not peace can be made now is in Miss Diana's thoughts. ”

"Really...... It's tough enough. ”

Even though she had already given up her intention to resist, Diana couldn't help but mock.

"I already understand your company's 'goodwill' very well, I know what to say and what to do. In Sister ...... Before Her Highness arrives at LΓΌdes, I will appear in public in a state of healing. ”

There were no other options at all, and the phrase "I had to do this" blocked further thought, immersed in fatigue and chills, and Roland's slightly hesitant words came to my ears.

"One more thing, may I ask the church...... Specifically, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, is there any handle that has been pinched?"

"Am I not? Aren't you getting enough of that?"

Yan Ran laughed miserably and gouged a bloody hole in Roland's heart, biting her lower lip tightly, and her purple eyes reflected the nun's tightly clenched fists.

Is this what you should do?? Diana, who was on the verge of uttering this question, blurted out in a different tone from the previous one.

"There are those who intend to use the privacy of the Church to obstruct the disarmament agreement, and in our judgment, their target is most likely Her Highness, please recall carefully, is there any ...... Your Highness, that is, your sister?"

"It's getting late, Mr. Roland. Listening to a woman's privacy late at night is not what a polite and well-bred man should do. I was tired and I needed enough sleep to heal as soon as possible. Please go back. ”

Unable to endure it any longer, the accumulated love broke out, and in the face of the cold eviction order, Roland looked at Diana who turned his face away for a few seconds, got up and saluted, and then withdrew from the balcony with the mantis, leaving only the sobbing girl with her arms trembling and the evening breeze instead. (To be continued......)
