Conservatives claim that liberals are nerds who read until their heads run out of oxygen, and radicals see liberals as defeatist cowards, and these two top hats are technically true.

The liberals, led by scholars such as Josef Weidemeyer, Wilhelm Weitling, and Franz Siegel, were not well-organized political associations, but a group of pacifists who were romantic, idealistic, and philanthropic. They just don't want the gains they have worked so hard to build over the years to be destroyed by the war, and at the same time they are dissatisfied with the quasi-militarized social system, and they want to gain more benefits for workers, including human beings, and to disperse power that is too concentrated in the hands of the consuls, and strive for universal democracy and social reform.

Their ideas are certainly good, but they are clearly too far ahead of their time, and regardless of the clash of ideas, the part of their own interests alone is enough to make the other two factions and the military see them as mortal enemies. As a result, the two sides engaged in extensive and in-depth debates in various forums such as councils, university campuses, open-air cafes, clubs, etc., and there were occasional incidents of using fists instead of mouths to debate, but fortunately, the government handled it with great strength and did not turn into bloodshed from beginning to end.

In the course of the debate, liberals have made extensive use of Albiang's traditional customary law to describe the rights of the individual, and have repeatedly cited Albion as an example. When the impassioned defense of slavery by the Albians came, liberals were shocked by humanity's ability to show off their limits and shamelessness, while conservatives and radicals laughed and laughed until their jaws dislocated. When they re-tie their jaws and launch an all-out counter-offensive against the liberals. Li Lin, who had been watching from the sidelines, intervened.

As an archon, Li Lin can still tolerate other people's opinions, and although the liberals are noisy, their suggestions are not completely unreasonable. It's just that some assumptions are taken for granted, and the idealism on his body is too strong. If you say a few wrong words, you won't be guilty of death, and just say a few words. On the other hand, allowing liberals to remain alive would be good for balancing the domestic economy, or at least not turning into a stronghold for right-wingers. The old grandfathers who looked like the remnants of the Nazis kept saying: "We must use poison gas to solve the final problem of mankind", and the radicals also talked about "growing mushrooms" and so on all day long. It really made them bigger. That's it.

With the intervention of the consuls, the liberals were not completely defeated, but they also fell into a slump. For a time, the whole of Alfheim no longer heard the voice of peace.

Roland Tong Guò Parsifal knew that Albion's slavery had also led to such an unexpected result. He even had the heart to strangle the slaves. Originally, the elves' hostility towards humans was already quite strong. Finally, some voices have emerged that want to reconcile. Let the Albians mess up themselves. Do those guys know it? The word "slave" represents a period of the darkest period in the historical memory of the elves, and it is not a pleasant thing to associate with it. Slavery in front of the elves doesn't do that.

This self-defeating behavior has not only dealt a heavy blow to liberals. It also completely destroys the last vestiges of the elves' willingness to try to coexist with humans on an equal footing - since for the sake of immediate interests, even the centuries-old traditions and beliefs that they are proud of can be discarded, and they can categorically adopt double standards and even completely overturn what they have said. Even if a peace agreement is signed with mankind in the future, how much sincerity and credibility will there be in it? Roland could not refute this.

"When I found out about this, that guy probably sat in his office and laughed, right? ”

Knowing that his adoptive father has always had an attitude of not being worth this kind of thing, at most he shrugged his shoulders and did what he had to do. Roland still couldn't help but slander, and then couldn't help but sigh.

Why is it that human beings are always so short-sighted, and can even abandon principles and beliefs for the sake of immediate gain?

Such human beings.

It's just unbearable.

He said sad words in his heart, but he didn't think that the society that Li Lin was going to build was good.

Suppress the humans and orcs with brute force and drive them into the sheepfold - with a high wall that will not budge without dialogue and with only the words 'Obey me'.

There is room for improvement in the world.

Whether it is elves, humans, orcs, dwarves, the intelligent species need to believe this in order to find a foothold in the world and survive, and no one can laugh at it. Of course, there are a thousand kinds of justice for a thousand people, and everyone has their own independent opinions, has different expectations of the world, and wants to make others accept their ideas. Therefore, friction is inevitable and even turns into bloody wars. But in addition to friction and disputes, there is also communication and sharing, and in the long run-in, everyone learns to understand each other little by little and eliminate misunderstandings......

This is admittedly idealistic, a beautiful dream that may never be realized in the end. Because of the existence of individual differences and the retention of independent consciousness, even if human beings and even intelligent species finally achieve mutual understanding, they may not be able to accept each other, and disputes will continue to exist. But—

Will it have to be like that?

Because of the uncertainty involved, do you give up even trying to imagine and depict the future?

While Roland pondered the heavy question, Lance Rode didn't let her mind spin.

She had an indescribable aversion to Albion's practice of slavery.

As the illegitimate son of the Duke of Brittania who raped an elf slave girl after getting drunk, if it weren't for the duke's heir, I'm afraid she would have drowned before she opened her eyes. In the event that her identity is revealed, according to the Slavery Act, all non-human ancestry from 1/2 to 1/128 will be counted as a non-human slave, and she will lose all her qiē, even the most basic citizenship and rights will be deprived, and become the movable or immovable property of a slave owner. No one understands better than she does what it's like to walk on thin ice every day.

The other Knights of the Round Table also had an aversion to slavery, but they did so on the basis of morality, and while opposing slavery, they believed in the superiority of human beings, especially the Albians. Compared with them, there are disparities between the non-human intelligent species in both physical and mental aspects, and these differences determine that the non-human intelligent species must unconditionally submit to the management and domination of human beings. Sooner or later, slavery will be abolished and replaced by a new social system of "equality but segregation".

Lance Lodai hated slavery, but she also didn't like apartheid either. That means that the streets will be filled with signs saying "Humans Only" and "No Dogs Allowed for Non-Humans and Dogs", and the whole society will be filled with legal discrimination against non-human intelligent species, which will further turn into legitimate violent attacks against other races.

As a half-elf, she didn't want to live in that kind of society, even if she was dressed in a noble disguise, the air of the current society and the racist society that might appear in the future still suffocated her.

-- Some things have to be accelerated.

Biting her lower lip gently, the girl's pupils crossed a certain determination, (to be continued......)
