There are five lifelike statues placed in the training square of Kama Taj's headquarters. The mystic apprentices who are training in the body protection class are not surprised by the appearance of these statues. They don't even know who placed these statues there.
However, they also felt that the expressions of these statues were a bit too vivid, as if they were made of flesh and blood, which made people shudder.
Some apprentices also tried to poke at the thin corners of the statues' clothes, but they were all held back by Baron Mordo.
There was no happy expression on Modu's face. He knew what his junior brother was facing, and Salomon had already made a corresponding decision. The result of this decision was right in front of him.
This made him a little worried and even complained about the arrangements of the Supreme Mage.
After all, his junior brother is an out-and-out cave creature who rarely leaves Karma Taj. He is worried that Salomon will face such a thing too soon. He is too young.
.
Salomon, who had moved the statue to Kama Taj, was sitting in front of the Supreme Master. He drank the tea on the Supreme Master's table and his sluggish spirit was revived.
He told His Holiness everything he saw and heard during his trip, including the moral dilemmas he faced. Now, he very much hoped that he could get some useful advice.
"You live in such a peaceful environment as Kama Taj, so naturally you would not make such a choice.
But when you leave here and go out, all kinds of problems will follow, and what you faced before is just one of them." The Venerable pointed in the direction of the training ground, "But I am very satisfied with your decision.
Satisfied, kid.
I know you have doubts in your mind, so I will give you an example. This is something I have experienced, which will help you."
"Dormammu is not just spying on the earth now. He has wanted to swallow the earth into the dark dimension since the rise of mankind, but was blocked by the first supreme mage Agamotto. Later I also became the supreme mage.
, also doing the same job.
In the past, there were countless people who believed in Dormammu. There once was a small village. Almost everyone in that village believed in Dormammu, as if they believed in God. They were pious and ignorant.
They didn't know that they were worshiping an evil god, but their lives did get better. They could raise livestock, have good harvests year after year, and no one would starve to death. Soon after, they held a banquet in the local village for a year.
The surplus grain attracted many merchants and villagers from other nearby villages.
At that time, the planetary defense system was initially established, and they still easily used the magic given by Dormammu to summon him, and I also noticed this through the planetary defense system.
Just when Dormammu was about to be summoned successfully, I appeared there." The Mage Supreme paused, and she asked Salomon, "What do you think I will do?"
Salomon shook his head. If he was in that situation, he really didn't know what to do.
People who believe in Dormammu are guilty, even if they don't know what they believe in. But what about the villagers in other villages and the merchants passing by?
"The answer is very simple. When Dormammu was about to come, I summoned burning meteorites, which fell from the sky and killed everyone present." The Venerable said, "This includes not only the believers of Dormammu, but also the disciples of Dormammu.
It also includes nearby villagers and merchants. Do you know the reason why I do this?"
Salomon shook his head again, "I don't know."
"Because I can't tell who is a believer of Dormammu and who is not. But Dormammu will come soon. If I wait until I can distinguish the innocent people one by one, the earth will have been swallowed into the dark dimension.
.The simplest, fastest, and most effective way is to kill everyone present and interrupt the summoning ceremony.
Just like what you encountered, you want to kill the vampire, but ordinary people are protecting him. If you insist on doing this, then you must hurt those ordinary people as well." His Holiness' tone was very serious, she said
Said, "But you have no choice, Salomon. No one can guarantee that the two vampires will not regard humans as food because of their thirst for blood in the future. You cannot put the lives of other people in that town above the vampires."
In terms of conscience, that is an extremely irresponsible approach.
We are protecting humanity as a whole, not individual individuals.
I think you should also know the rank of Barnabas. Another Dracula will never be allowed to appear on the earth, otherwise it will be a disaster for mankind, and under the scale of the safety of all mankind, some lives can
Abandoned.
This truth is understood by every mystic in Kamal Taj. Although it is very cold-blooded, it is still the right choice. The planetary defense system has long been established, and Kamal Taj is able to monitor the world's
Magical fluctuations, we can often prevent the situation from spreading when Dormammu's followers, devil followers, or other things start to summon.
But even so, we must face this kind of problem from time to time."
Salomon lowered his head and thought about what the Supreme Mage said. From the standpoint of the Supreme Mage, Kamal Taj's standpoint, and even the standpoint of protecting all human beings, this method is indeed advisable. If those terrible beings are summoned,
More people will die.
The Supreme Mage was very satisfied when he saw that Salomon was thinking. Nowadays, many people in Kamal Taj are blindly respecting the Supreme Master's decision, but the Supreme Master still hopes that the mystics can have their own thoughts. She very much hopes that Salomon will have their own thoughts.
Meng could understand her good intentions in doing so.
His Holiness continued, “Kama Taj’s doing this does not mean that we are indifferent to life. If possible, we will choose to save them as much as possible. Otherwise, we will become typical utilitarians and measure life purely by quantity.
This is not advisable. We know that the value of life is immeasurable, but for the sake of more people's lives, we have to destroy a few people. Value life and decide everything carefully, especially when you are determined to abandon others
of life and soul.”
In fact, all the enemies Salomon faced this time were within the Lord's predictions, including ordinary people from the Corinthian family.
This mission was also arranged by His Holiness, so that Salomon could face this choice in advance and make the decision himself.
Only in this way can Salomon abandon unnecessary weakness, have a decisive mentality, and finally grow into a qualified guardian according to His Holiness's vision.
"But this choice is painful, isn't it?" Salomon raised his head, "Have you still been carrying such a heavy burden for such a long time?"
"This is our duty. While we protect mankind, we are also responsible for mankind's sins." His Holiness's expression did not change. "As long as we are still protecting mankind, such things will happen. Even without Kamatai
Ji, without the Supreme Mage, someone would make such a decision. This is a sacrifice that has to be made, and this is the price you will pay."
"Cherish the compassion and kindness you have now, they are very precious, keep them. Only in this way can you not ignore the value of life when making decisions. Only in this way can you make better use of these lives. When necessary,
Including your own."
I'm sorry, Salomon, this is not your pain, it's mine.
The Supreme Mage closed her eyes in pain, but soon she opened them again, with no hesitation in her eyes.
