Yeager looked at Duran dumbfounded, feeling that Duran was too ruthless.
But Duran said calmly: "Freedom, you all want freedom. You want your children to have the freedom to ride on an airship, and you also want your children to have the freedom to run wild. But do you know what your biggest problem is?
?That is to attribute all the unsatisfactory results to the giant and to the bloodline." "So that you can no longer see clearly what freedom is really needed. You have lived in both countries. Let me ask you, in
Before the wall was broken, before the main conflict became human survival and the invasion of giants, what was the difference between the two countries?"
Yeager thought for a moment: "Marai's technology is more advanced..." Then he couldn't think of anything else. Apart from technology, it was difficult for him to find a fundamental difference. Malai's products must be better than Eldia's.
Rich, but it was not a big difference. In the end, he found that there was actually no difference between the two countries. The culture, language, customs, systems, and even ideas were similar.
"You see you have discovered the problem. In the past hundred years, except for the two months when the wall was destroyed, the main contradictions of mankind have actually nothing to do with giants. For a whole hundred years, giants have not been the main contradiction, then
Do you know why humans still long for freedom and why they are still dissatisfied with their current situation?"
Yeager shook his head.
"How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house? How can you rule the world if you don't rule one country?" Duran said: "Whether it is Marais or Eldia, they only regard giants as a point of deflection. As long as there are giants, the top management will
You can use almighty shields to hide the country's flaws, your own shamelessness, and the system's incompetence. For a hundred years, when giants were not the main contradiction, the governance of both countries was in a mess, and they were both so backward.
It means that these two countries are losers, destined to be surpassed by other countries, destined to be swept into a corner full of garbage. So can you understand what freedom you have been pursuing all this time?"
What is freedom?
The Eldians have always believed that defeating the Titans will lead to freedom. In fact, this is not the case. Defeating the Titans only transfers the contradictions within the wall. It does not give people freedom.
The Honorable Marais think that by destroying the Eldians, they will be free, but unfortunately this is not the case. If the Eldians are eliminated, the Honorable Marais will become the recipients of the conflict, and the consequences will only be worse.
awful.
The Marais believe that by destroying more enemies and then occupying more resources, they can gain freedom. Obviously this is not possible. After the enemies are eliminated, there will still be enemies. Until there are no enemies left, their conflicts cannot even be transferred and can only stay in place.
explode.
Therefore, they do not understand what kind of freedom they are pursuing, and they transfer their dissatisfaction to other goals. Their path is not to solve the fundamental contradiction, but to transfer the contradiction.
The Giants are a prime target to take the blame.
Duran spoke slowly, telling Yeager that the freedom they needed did not lie in destroying the giants, but in self-innovation.
"So we have to transcend blood and unite everyone?" Yeager understood now, and his train of thought had been completely opened up: "Overthrowing decadent backwardness and establishing new progress will inevitably involve sacrifices in this process."
"Although there will inevitably be sacrifices, we must also control the attack area. We must unite forces that can be united. We cannot kill everyone with one stick like you did before."
Yeager understood, but unfortunately he had made up his mind: "It's a pity that I don't have time anymore. Thank you for telling me this, I'm leaving." He wanted to find his son, and then pass on the power of the giant to his son.
Duran looked at Yeager's back and thought that it would be a pity if Yeager died like this. After all, he was a man who had lived in two countries, and he still had his own value in existence.
Yeager found his son living in the shelter through his "old friend" from the Survey Corps. The conditions in the shelter were not good, with a large group of people sleeping on the ground and only thin sheets to keep them warm.
When he saw his father, ten-year-old Allen cried like a child. He told his father that his mother had been eaten. In fact, Yeager knew that otherwise he would not have gone to the Reyes family. Now he will pass on all his power to
Son, he knows that his son is the person who changes the world.
Turn his son into an Innocent Titan, and then let his son eat him. In this way, the power of the Titan will be transferred to Allen.
After becoming an Unsullied Titan, it's like having a nightmare. People are muddle-headed and don't know human emotions at all. Even if you eat your father, you won't feel any pressure.
It's just that Allen ate half of Yeager's body and took all the spinal fluid into his stomach. Allen returned to normal, but his memory was confused. He only remembered that his father gave him a key and asked him to go
basement.
When Allen woke up again, his father had disappeared and he had returned to the shelter. He was accompanied by two friends. They said that an uncle from the Survey Corps had brought him back.
Yeager was already dead at this time, but Duran resurrected him again.
Yeager was confused, because the last memory he had was the moment when his skull was chewed to pieces. He should have been eaten by his own son. How could he come back to life?
"Isn't this normal? I have talked to you so much this afternoon, am I chatting with dead people? I never like talking to dead people." Dulan's saliva was not in vain: "Stand up, let's
There is still much to do.”
"Who are you?" Yeager said dumbfounded: "Why can I survive?"
"These questions are not important at all, come on." Dulan said nothing nonsense.
Yeager could only follow blankly.
Duran brought Yeager back to the escort agency: "From now on, you will work here in your old profession. Although studying medicine cannot save the world, I ask you to continue to be your doctor and treat the bruises of the refugees. Then.
Let’s discuss together what true freedom is and how we can truly save the world.” “Discuss that before the main contradiction between human survival and the invasion of giants, the main contradiction between human beings’ yearning for a better life and the reality of backwardness, discuss the world.
The development history of
Only then can we work hard to solve problems, instead of blaming giants when things go wrong, and we are right when we are wrong.”
Yeager nodded, feeling that it made sense. He had commanded the restorationists in Marais. Although he was betrayed by his son, he was still very capable. He was both hard-working and talented, and he was very familiar with giving lessons.
In the past, he often took classes with the honorary Marais to learn the history of the Eldian Empire, but this history obviously did not directly raise the contradiction.
In those history books, the ancestors of Eldia recorded that the ancestor giants controlled the giants to open roads, build bridges, reclaim land, and brought peace to the entire continent. Not only were giants not demons, they were also the main labor force. But obviously this history is not standard either.
, because if it is really so good, the Marais Empire will not be so afraid of Eldia. Obviously, the fruits of the giant's labor are only a privilege enjoyed by a few people, and most Eldian civilians and Marais enjoy it.
