"Well, once upon a time, there was such a country;" Eddie bent down slightly, so that Nightstar could hear more clearly:

"In this country, there are people who have been displaced and sold into slavery;

The king then declared that the ransom should be reimbursed to anyone who saw his own people sold into slavery abroad and bought back to their own country. ”

Nightstar glanced at Add in between treatments, then nodded slightly, "This is really a benevolent king." ”

“...... There was a kind merchant who, passing through a certain country, met a slave of the same country;

Eddie feels that Nightstar's focus is a little wrong,

So he ransomed it and returned home;

At the same time, he was a very wealthy businessman;

He felt that it was a good deed to be a man, so he did not accept the king's reward. ”

"The merchant's character is too noble......" Nightstar's gaze was tinged with longing;

Then he told his teacher about it. Eddie paused, "Guess how his teacher would react?"

"A teacher of such a virtuous character must be a more virtuous man, and the teacher must have praised him for his deeds, right?"

Nightstar looked at Add, but the latter shook his head.

"No, his teacher angrily criticized him, thinking that what he had done was very wrong. ”

"This ...... How is this possible?" Nightstar's eyes widened, "his teacher...... It shouldn't be ......"

His teacher criticized him this way:

If you buy slaves without asking for payment, then others will follow your example and benchmark;

If anyone buys back a slave, if they take the king's reward, they will laugh at them for being inferior to you in character;

And not everyone is as rich as you are, and has enough money to spend on the purchase of slaves;

As a result, in order not to be ridiculed, no one else would buy slaves.

On the surface, it is a good deed, but in fact it raises the bar of 'morality', and the destructive power is no less than that of simply doing a bad deed. ”

The story...... Between Confucius and his disciple Gong, Eddie embellishes the story.

"So, Nightstar......" Eddie stared at her solemnly, "if you don't accept this money, is it really 'kindness'?"

"This ...... This...... I ......"

The demeanor of the night star......

It looks like the expression of the merchant on the last illustration of the children's idiom story "Paradox".

"Listen up, morality, kindness, these wonderful beings......

It is not the same as harming oneself and benefiting others. ”

It is because of this that Eddie has always hated the Virgin who likes to impose standards on others......

They are the ones who really stifle the 'good'.

"Hmm...... I understand. Nightstar's expression brightened, but then dimmed again;

"What's wrong?" said Add's brow;

"I've run out of mana...... Nightstar whispered, "I consumed too much in the battle against the monsters just now;

Although those dark cloud horses outside also have magic cores, they are all trophies of nobles, and they must not be taken away privately......"

This is also expected by myself...... Eddie thought so and took out a few magic cores from his arms;

four of black iron, one of bronze;

"Use them. Add smiled and shoved the five cores into Nightstar's hand—

Then he took one of the two gold coins that he was about to hand to the night star, and put it in his bosom:

"To each according to his needs, from your point of view or from my point of view, it is 'good' and both good. ”

"You...... You have a point......"

The night star seemed to have received a great revelation, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist;

She took the gold coin in one hand, and began to refine the magic core with the other-

[Sensing a change in the world line, causal point +30.] 】

Of course, there is also a fair payout to be charged - Eddie walked towards the outside of the warehouse, the corners of his mouth raised;

Generally speaking, the Bronze Core contains about five units of mana, and the price is around five silver coins;

Four Black Iron Cores, four units of mana, and four silver coins;

In other words, he actually took an extra silver coin as a reward.

Kind-hearted girl, the story is not for you to listen to in vain~

The two men outside the warehouse were watching the battle on the other side of the line;

Add noticed that the girl in Orange Wind ...... At this point, his mouth is so pouting that he seems to be able to tie a soy sauce bottle to it.

"Uh-huh~" Eddie suddenly put his hand on Orange Wind's hair and rubbed it back and forth;

"Less...... Young Master, what are you doing, Young Master?" Orange Wind was obviously taken aback;

"It's nothing~" Eddie patted her brain again, and finally cast his eyes on the battlefield-

...... The situation is not good.

Even a stunned young man who doesn't know anything about actual combat can see that this line of defense may not last long.

The speed of those magic arrays is getting slower and slower - it's not because the soldiers are lazy, but because the magic core is not well stocked;

Some of the magic arrays have completely ceased fire, and the soldiers in charge of manipulation have already taken up arms and thrown into battle.

Without the powerful suppression of magic, the entire front is as unsettling as a boiling oil pot.

"Maybe we'll have to get ready to retreat......" Eddie moved out of the way of the warehouse door—the wounded were coming towards the warehouse;

One by one, the walls were smashed through by the Darkcloud Pony, and the number of soldiers who could fight was dwindling.

I can't hold it like this......

Just as Add was thinking about the evacuation plan, there was a sound of horses' hooves and shouting in the distance—

Could it be that it is reinforcements?

Eddie made a slight discernment, but felt that it was not—the number was not dense enough, and it was mixed with the sound of wheels;

Soon, a carriage came into Eddie's field of vision, escorted by several horsemen;

The carriage quickly stopped near the line, and then several horsemen removed some small wooden boxes from the carriage and distributed them to the various magic arrays;

"All, withdraw to the lines!" shouted the baron to the soldiers who were fighting the monsters on the battlefield;

As the soldiers turned and retreated, the magic arrays reopened fire;

Crimson magic arrows exploded in the line, sending up clouds of smoke and dust;

In this series of bombardments, the Dark Cloud Pony suffered heavy casualties, and the originally ferocious offensive was forced to be contained.

After only a bowl of rice, the array of demonic beasts was completely defeated, and the scattered batches of dark cloud horses were either eliminated by the soldiers, or they recognized the situation and turned around and fled back to the forest;

Add looked at the wagon—no doubt it was the best reinforcement for the situation;

With enough supply of demon cores, those demonic beasts are not to worry about at all.

But how many palm-sized wooden boxes are in such a big car?

As in response to Eddie's question, a man in formal wear with an arrogant attitude stepped out of the carriage without hurrying.
