Chapter 225: The God of Justice(1/2)
Seeing Chi Lai willing to offer help to him, the young dragon man felt warm in his heart.
His brows relaxed slightly and he sighed: "To be honest, I'm very disappointed."
Chi Lai suddenly showed a look of understanding: "Is it Huantong?"
In fact, it wasn't just Huantong, the dragon boy was also disappointed with himself.
But when it comes to the secrets of the treasure under the sea, the dragon boy will not reveal it. He nodded and said: "It is true that part of it is about him."
"Huntong is a noble of the empire and a local lord. He should uphold justice and draw a clear line from evil."
"However, he took the initiative to trade with the pirates and facilitated their settlement of accounts. The pirates successfully recovered the funds and were able to arm themselves and carry out more robberies."
"Huntong is undoubtedly his accomplice!"
"Not only that, he had been hiding the Golden Sparkle in the previous melee, and it was not until the last moment that he took action because the treasure had left the island."
"When we left the island, he deceived us and sold us the flagship of the Bandage Mercenary Group. Next, he will definitely attack the Sufferer."
"Although the bandage mercenary group mainly fights to protect themselves in the melee, they are also comrades in arms after all."
"Huntong's behavior is really disappointing."
In fact, the dragon boy still felt guilty in his heart.
A thought lingered in his mind. If he did not take away the treasure from the bottom of the sea, and Huotong had wealth, would he let go of the bandage mercenary group? Or, in other words, would Zidi only take half of the treasure? Leave part of it for Huntong,
What about indirectly benefiting ordinary poor people?
Along with the condemnation of his conscience caused by this thought, another voice sounded in the young man's heart: "Can you help these poor people by leaving the treasure? How naive! Hutong is insidious and cunning, and it is impossible to take the initiative to give up the profits. He is fighting in a melee.
The strategy is obviously to be the only winner who takes all the other parties!"
"The survivors are in urgent need of these undersea treasures, but the activation of the anti-reconnaissance prophecy array will consume a lot of funds. The finances of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group are quite dangerous, and there is no response to the blackmail letter. The future is full of unpredictability and dangers, and we must try our best to seize them.
Seize every opportunity to expand your own survival possibilities!"
"Just like on the Mysterious Island, just like on the Snake and Rat Island, justice can be carried out only by surviving. Every life has the basic right to live. What's wrong with fighting for such a chance of survival? You must survive first.
This is the greatest justice!"
At the critical moment of the naval battle on Snake Island, the dragon boy had such an understanding for the first time. He not only convinced himself, but also convinced other companions to overcome the difficulty.
However, at this moment, he found it difficult to use this theory again.
Because he will inevitably think like this: "If it is just for me to take away the treasures from the bottom of the sea in order to survive, what about Hutong?"
As a human knight: Dutong expelled the fishmen, expanded the empire's territory, and indirectly served the empire's grand strategy of conquering the orc continent. He was completely a hero of the empire.
In fact, the Shengming Empire has also issued a large number of policies in recent years to encourage nobles to actively expand overseas, especially to the sea islands between the Shengming Continent and the Wilderness Continent.
Hutong was inspired by the policy to capture Double Eye Island.
However, the follow-up content of the policy cannot bring more help to Huantong, except for the tax exemption policy.
What Hutong took over was a double-eye island that was in its primitive stage and not much developed.
If you think about it, you can understand how difficult it was for Hutong to be in trouble!
Double Eye Island is not a normal island. It has no soil, cannot be planted, has no minerals, and even sinks to the bottom of the sea every once in a while. In addition, Hutong is also constantly harassed and attacked by the fishman tribe, and there are
Pirate gangs, large and small, are wreaking havoc.
If Hutong manages Double Eyed Island like a regular lord, it is likely to be destroyed. Either the fishmen will retake their home, or they will be looted over and over again by pirates. Even if this is not the case, under double siege, Double Eyed Island will become a
The isolated island gradually fell into silence.
"In this environment, Hutong worked hard, changed strategies, created a business atmosphere, and allowed pirates to come to Double Eye Island to sell their stolen goods with confidence, thereby reaching a tacit understanding, allowing the pirates to stop as much as possible, and allowing space for internal and external communication."
"With safer routes and a large amount of cheap goods brought by pirates selling stolen goods, Double Eye Island has successfully attracted large and small chambers of commerce to settle there."
"Huntong successfully resisted the fish-men tribe again and revitalized the stagnant water of Double Eye Island."
"This is a strategy for survival. If Huantong doesn't do this, the possible outcome is defeat."
"If you calculate it this way, isn't Hutong also just?"
"So, is Hutong a righteous man?"
The dragon boy asked himself this.
He shook his head secretly.
"Huntong collaborated with the pirates, oppressed his former comrades (bandage mercenary group), and calculated the property of the people. It is obviously unfair."
"But is there a possibility that after being blinded, he will execute the law, uphold justice, and become the noblest type of imperial noble? As long as conditions permit, he will become a field lord full of glory and virtue?"
"At that time, are all the unbearable things he experienced before just enduring the humiliation, a survival strategy, and sacrificing the small justice in front of him for the sake of long-term and massive justice?"
The dragon boy felt that he was standing at a fork in the road.
The next step is to choose the way he wants to go.
One of the paths is called "The Possibility of Justice in the Dark Eye". For the sake of long-term justice, one can sacrifice the immediate justice and succumb to evil.
In short, in order to become a "big" good person in the future, I can accept myself as a "little" bad person now.
"Is it okay?" The dragon boy asked himself.
"Does this make it easier for you and increase everyone's chances of survival?"
The dragon boy thought of those spies from the intelligence agency.
In order to lurk deeper and hit higher levels of the enemy, some spies will selectively betray their own interests and even kill their comrades.
"However, can justice do this?"
"Justice can be measured from the perspective of buying and selling. Can it be calculated clearly in this way?"
"Can a just cause be weighed in such a simple way?"
"Don't I have the shadow of Hutong on my body?"
The young man's deep self-examination brought about torture, like a whip hitting his soul again and again.
His heart was full of confusion.
He looked at Chi Lai and asked the biggest doubt in his heart: "What is justice? How to find and walk the path of justice?"
Seeing such a young man and hearing such a question, Chi Lai couldn't help but feel dazed.
"It's so similar!" He couldn't help but sigh deep in his heart.
It really looks so much like my old self!
Chi Lai considered it for a moment and did not directly answer the Dragon Man boy's question. Instead, he said: "Master Captain, I cannot give you the most direct answer to your question because I am only one of the humble believers."
"Here, I would like to share with you my experience of receiving the attention of gods and being given magical powers. Maybe I can provide you with some help."
The dragon boy immediately became interested.
Chi Lai had used magic in the previous melee, which made the power of the golden cannon extraordinary.
This scene left a deep impression on everyone on the battlefield at that time.
Chi Lai said slowly: "I came from a poor background. Because of my outstanding talent, I was spotted and became a member of the Imperial Navy."
"A noble young master intended to rob someone else's inheritance and deceived an inexperienced girl, and planned to use deceitful methods to make the girl fall in love with him, so that the girl would fall in love with him."
"My companions and I overheard this conspiracy. Even though we were strangers to the girl, I decided to take action."
"My companions tried to dissuade me and reminded me that the noble young master has a great background."
"But I didn't listen to the advice and destroyed the noble young master's conspiracy, letting the girl understand his sinister nature."
"The noble young master became angry and used his family's power to frame me."
"When I was in jail with no one to save me, and all my former friends chose to abandon me, or even gave false testimony, adding insult to injury, my heart was filled with confusion."
"Where is justice? Where can I find justice? I have upheld and enforced justice, and am I going to end up like this?"
"Is it something wrong with me, or is this world wrong?"
"Is it my fault or justice's fault?"
"What's even more ironic is that I heard the latest news about the girl. She took the initiative to commit herself to the noble young master. This was the result of pressure from the noble family, in order to completely wash away the suspicion and stain of the noble young master and use 'pure love'
To safeguard the honor of the nobility."
"The girl testified that she counter-sued that I coveted her beauty and wanted to use conspiracy to destroy the close connection between her and her beloved."
"I fell into a desperate situation, full of despair about life and the world. I did not intend to remain in this world. On the night I decided to commit suicide, I performed my last prayer."
"I thought this was the last prayer in my life."
"I thought this was the most ungrateful prayer of my life."
"I asked my Lord, what is justice? Why did I end up in this situation? Does justice exist in this world?"
"Then……"
"I heard a great voice, the voice of my Lord."
"He said: Chilai, my son, know this: Justice is on the edge of the sword, on the muzzle of the cannon, and in the heart of the heart."
