Chapter 12: Guardians of the World
"That's all the report for this incident!"
In a gloomy room, although the large screen on the wall was fluorescent, but there was no image, James took out a small white metal round flat bottle from his arms, took a sip and moistened his throat, and then wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "What do you think, you can speak freely." ”
A kind and gentle male voice came from the communicator: "Didn't Miss Weiss Snow Ni provide more detailed information about the two of them?"
"Unfortunately, Miss Viss Snow Ni was unable to recall any information about the two men, even if she had watched the surveillance footage of that day. James shook his head and said: "Scholars believe that it should be the effect of some special external image, or it may be deep hypnosis, but whatever it is, she has no way to go." And you should have heard a little about that young lady's character, after learning the inside story of the bottom of the mine, she had a big fight with her father, and she has already left for the Beacon School Park in advance, I believe you will see her soon!"
This time, it was no longer the kind male voice that spoke, but a serious female voice: "Don't say she's a sixteen-year-old girl, even I can't imagine that after the Furner War, there will still be people who ignore human rights and use the Furner people as slaves, this is a historical regression, a distortion of human nature! James, when this happens in your Heavenly Kingdom, aren't you going to say something?"
James did not budge: "All the actions of the Snow Ni Chenjing Company are permitted by law, those Furner people are not slaves, but felons, they have participated in terrorist activities, have one or several illegal records, and the evidence is conclusive, it is not an exaggeration to execute them, but it is precisely for humanitarian considerations that we will exempt them from the death penalty and let them use their labor to offset the punishment!"
"But what happened to them is more unacceptable than death!" said the serious female voice excitedly, "What about psychotropic drugs mixed with their food...... If only those damn things could be called food!"
James said calmly: "That's just a sedative, you also understand that the Furner people have good night vision and mobility, if not controlled, it will greatly increase the difficulty of supervision!"
"But that would have severely degraded their brains, and that wasn't a sedative at all, but a mental castration poison!" came the sound of glass breaking over the communicator, as if the teacup had been shattered.
"I regret this!" James said in an official tone, "I believe that after the end of the sentence, Xue Ni Chenjing Company will pay compensation to the Furner people who have been injured by the drug!"
"your compensation!" the serious female voice burst into rage: "They won't survive the day when their sentences are over!"
"No, Xue Ni Chenjing Company will be responsible for every prisoner, if a prisoner dies while serving his sentence, they will pay a fine of six hundred lithium coins!" James changed his voice and said slowly: "But no one can avoid accidents, there will always be people who die, and the Kingdom Council understands this!"
"Damn it, James, you're treating people like animals, you're no longer merciful!"
"My mercy will not be left to the enemy, if they don't bomb the railroad and rob the mines, they will naturally not be locked up by me!"
"It was you who killed their people first, robbed them of their land, and made them suffer injustice but have no way to appeal!"
"So they can kill my people and burn my city? Misery is not a reason to commit a crime, and the Furner people have a job to keep to themselves!" James slammed the table and yelled, "Rather than wasting dust crystals to shoot them, I would rather let them create value before they die!"
"Then just kill them!" The serious female voice also shouted: "If you want to create value, there is a more efficient way, you are completely to satisfy your perverted revenge mentality!"
"Yes, it's revenge!" James said fiercely: "My soldiers, my comrades, my relatives, they all died at the hands of the Furners, what is wrong with taking revenge on those who have hurt us!"
"You are flouting human rights, and I will severely condemn this matter at the four-nation meeting!"
"Glinda, are you saying this on behalf of the Kingdom of the Valley Kingdom, are you interfering in the internal affairs of our country?"
"yes and what, I'll put an end to this kind of error!"
"Okay, you can try it and see how many people can get your frivolous condemnation!"
"You're ......!"
"That's enough!" the kind voice spoke again, "There's no point in discussing this now, those laborers have been rescued by those two mysterious people, haven't they?"
James sighed, "You're right! At the same time, they were sent back to their respective relatives...... Notice, it's the same time, at least in our statistics. You must know that they come from all over the world, their hometowns are thousands of miles apart, and some are separated by oceans, and the wild beasts are rampant, to this extent, I guess there must be a huge organization behind those two people."
"But we never found out about this organization, God knows how long they have been hiding!" The kind male voice revealed a hint of helplessness: "The more critical question is, why did they choose to show up at this time, will their arrival make the world safer, or will it lead the world to perish?"
"I suggest sending troops!" said James, "whatever their intentions may be, they are out of control! The world needs stability, not an unexpected surprise!"
"What if they came with good intentions?" the kind male voice asked, "Since the world has 'guardians of the world' like us, it is not too surprising that there are one or two more ancient and mysterious organizations. Judging by their actions to free the laborers, they are at least not evil. ”
James shook his head, "But what if they're just kind to the Furner people?"
The serious female voice known as Glinda suddenly spoke sarcastically: "Don't forget, they not only saved the Furner people, but also your soldiers!
"But they also destroyed three valuable floating warships!" James said strongly, "and there is no evidence that the luck of my soldiers has anything to do with them!"
"You call this lucky?" Glinda continued sarcastically, "Even the steel is twisted and deformed, but the man is unscathed, please give me a dozen of this luck!"
"Alright, Glinda, James just wasn't good at expressing himself. The kind voice intervened again: "James, as Glinda said, I think they have the possibility of communication, send troops...... It's too early!"
James was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, our rule has always been that the minority obeys the majority, and I have no intention of continuing to argue, but I reserve my opinion." Ozpin, I hope you're right, if they're on the side of the world, we'll be a lot easier, I'm sorry, Glinda, I've been a little emotional, and if I offend you, I beg your pardon, we're still friends, right?"
There was only a cold snort from Glinda on the communicator!
"Well, we have been partners for many years, and we will not fall apart because of a small conflict. The kind male voice known as Ozpin said, "Now that the policy has been decided, it is time to enter the implementation phase." But there's a question, where are those two now?"
As soon as this question came out, the scene was quiet, and James spread his hands helplessly: "It's a pity that my army has completely lost their traces, and it is very likely that they have left the Kingdom of Zhitian, as for where to go...... Probably only God knows. ”
"Where's Crow?" said Glinda, "isn't that guy the best at tracking?
Ozpin replied: "The last communication was a month ago, when he was already close to the edge!"
"The fringe?" Glinda exclaimed, "Is he going to kill himself? It's the place where the beasts are most concentrated, what is he doing there?"
"It's said that something new has been discovered. ”
"You didn't stop him?"
"Stopped, but didn't succeed!" Ozpin said helplessly, "You know his character, and according to the time, he should have entered the fringe by now...... If he were still alive. ”
"Damn, that drunkard must be going drunk!" Glinda scolded indignantly.
"Crow is an excellent old hunter, he won't do things that he is not sure of, we don't have to worry about him!" Ozping said: "Don't forget that this is the beginning of the school season of the Hunter Academy, and it is also our responsibility to cultivate the future." Until Crowe returns, we don't have to invest too much energy in the mystery man, it's more important to do our job well!"
"You're right!" James nodded, "I'll keep an eye on those two men, if it's milder, of course!"
"That's the best!" Ozpin suddenly joked: "I found a good seedling this time, her name is Ruby Rose, and she is a very talented young man. James, at this year's 'Werther Festival Tournament', you should be careful of our Beacon Academy!"
"Haha, don't worry about me, Ozpin!" James also smiled and said, "I have a killer feature too, her name is Penny Polendina, she is a very 'strong' girl!"
"Sturdy, that's a strange adjective, but your words make me look forward to the Werther Festival more and more. Ozpin said, "I'll make you a cup of coffee, General!"
"Oh no!" James said bitterly, "Your coffee is always impressive!
"Humph!" Glinda was still cold.
"Well, it seems that our lady is still haunted by what just happened!" said Ozpin slowly.
"I didn't!" Glinda hurriedly argued, "I just don't want to serve a guy who pours wine into coffee!"
Ozpin laughed: "For a good reason, do you have anything to say about that, James?"
James said helplessly: "I can only say that everyone has their own taste, at least I like Glinda's coffee very much...... It's more than half of the alcohol, maybe I can add less this time?"
"James has made concessions, Glinda, what about you?"
"I will, if I'm in a better mood!"
"Well, the matter is settled. Ozpin said, "There's nothing that communication can't solve, isn't it? Good luck to the world, guys!"
"Good luck to the world!"
This is the end of the call.
