Today, Mel has a much stronger hand than his father. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gray has a strong intelligence network, the support of Emperor Ira and the Ilibi, and many loyal followers, but he is not a lord and has no legitimate domain. Mair is the rightful lord, and he also has a large number of territorial claims, and he has gained the trust of the Tairong elf, with a high technological advantage and production capacity.

Out of Myr's sight, the Tayon elves are spreading Myr's words about his will to his kind. More and more Taerong elves identify with Mair and want to join Maier's side.

Unfortunately, this can only happen with races like the Ilibi and Tajon elves. If it were another race, Meier's words would only make him a target of public criticism, because most of these races do not think they are wrong, so they will hate those who say they are wrong, and will do everything they can to get rid of them.

It has to be said that Gray and Maier both have a unique vision. Gray only preaches reform among the Ilibians, and Mel speaks his heart only to the Ilibi and the Tayon elves. As for the people of other races, they would at best exhort or speak on topics of theology and faith, lest they offend the wrath of the people and become the common enemies of those races.

Although the two have been debating, their thoughts are the same. The Ilibi and Tayon elves are the key to changing the world, and they both believe that the two races should form a unified nation. But after that, Gray wants to go to war with the outside world, and Meier wants to isolate the country from the outside world and go on the defensive.

Gray has no intention of fighting for power with Myer. He did not go out to fulfill his wish personally, but to give all the resources at his disposal to Myr. But there was a big difference between Meier's ideas and him, and Gray hoped that his son would give up the so-called "partition" path, so he would use the resources in his hand as hole cards to negotiate with Meier.

What are the benefits of the "partition" road?

When the Ilibi and Tajon elves form a unified nation, the occupied territories of the two clans become a paradise. The production capacity of the Tairong fairy settlement is extremely high, which is enough for everyone in the country to live a worry-free life. The personalities of the Tajon elves and the Ilibians happen to be complementary, and it is impossible for the two races to clash with each other. The Ilibi people are in charge of military and government affairs, and the Taeyong goblins are in charge of agriculture and production, and the country will only get stronger and stronger, and the people's lives will only get better and better.

Maier regularly exports his culture to the outside world. He wants to tell everyone in the world that everyone has a choice, and everyone has to pay for their choices. If you want to live a good life, you have to pay a price, and that price is to change yourself. Anyone who wants to immigrate to this country must abide by the laws and regulations of this country, accept the supervision of the Tayyong elves and the Ilibi, and be punished for violating the law.

Maier would establish a military zone on the border, completely separating the country from the rest of the country. People abroad can do whatever they like, and it has nothing to do with people at home. This dividing line will not disappear unless all the people abroad die. In this way, Maier not only respects the choices of outsiders, but also gives people who want to change themselves an ideal living space, which can be described as having both fish and bear's paws.

So what is the downside of the road of "partition"?

Of course, a good and powerful country is envied. There are many people in this world who want to live a good life and don't want to change themselves. Such people often have one thing in common, that is, you can't get the good things I can't get, and if you get them, I have to find a way to take it away; If I can't take it, I'm going to destroy it.

That's why Gray thinks that the idea of dividing the line and ruling will lead to endless wars. People from the outside world are likely to be twisted into a rope because of the existence of this beautiful country, maybe at this stage, Maier and others can occupy the advantage of science and technology, but what about the future? The power of human desire is powerful, and the uglier the desire, the stronger the power contained in it. One day, outsiders will catch up in terms of technology, and then the war will become more and more tragic, and the two sides will continue to improve the level of military technology in order to gain an advantage, and finally create terrible weapons that can destroy the whole world.

Maier knew that might happen, but he wanted to divide the line. He believed that guiding outsiders in the form of cultural export could effectively avoid war. Because there is another kind of people in this world, although they are not willing to change themselves, they are easy to succumb to power, or strong power. At the same time, there is a kind of people in this world, they are not willing to change themselves, but they are easily influenced by foreign cultures, and even worship the countries that export cultures.

A strong national strength will make the former lose the will to fight, and the export of culture to the outside world can make the latter lose hostility. Mel's demarcation was not simply to draw a dividing line, it was not his goal, it was his goal to let his people live a stable life. In order to achieve this, it is normal to use appropriate means.

But the risk of war will not be zeroed out by this. In other words, there is still the possibility of war on both sides of the demarcation line. That's why Gray stands up for what he stands for. Reunification must be bloodshed, but after bloodshed there is peace. Although the evil in the world will not disappear because of this, as long as the people in power are properly guided, peace in the world will continue forever, and evil will become less and less.

Of course, this is only an ideal situation. There is still a risk of division after reunification, which means that peace after bloodshed is not safe. That's why Maier stands up for what he stands for. Neither father nor son would budge, and the debate lasted five hours, during which the women's nerves remained high.

No one drinks because of a dry mouth, and no one eats because of hunger. The door to the council chamber was closed and empty, and the guards were guarding the intersection of the corridors. To outsiders, the Byrons family was still having a family meeting, and everyone was a little worried, but no one dared to cross the intersection where the guards were to check the situation.

When the sky was completely covered in night, the debate between father and son finally progressed.

“…… That's the way it is today. ”

Gray explained the current international situation to Maier in the most concise terms, and then continued.

"The Taeyong nobles are destined to become history, and their lands will be divided among the nations. When the time comes, under the banner of liberating the Tairong people, you will be regarded as a savior by the Tairong people who are oppressed by foreigners, and you will be supported by them. At that time, your words will have a great impact on them, and even bring them a change, isn't that exactly what Taeyong Fairy expects? Since the Tayrong people can change because of this, you can also change other races in the same way. ”

"But that's just the ideal situation." Maier retorted, "And even if the situation develops according to the ideal, we cannot guarantee the support of all the Tyronns." Even if we have the support of all the Tayjong people, and all the Tayyong people change, what we have achieved with the Tayjong people cannot be replicated by other races. In other words, even if the Taeyong people are included in the scope of the country, the situation is only from a two-ethnic state to a three-ethnic state. ”

"And what about the Irato?" Gray said, "Your new shrine will also bring changes to the people of Ira, and we can further expand the influence of Emperor Ira through appropriate political means." As long as my old friend is alive, he will be able to help you change the minds of the Ira. If things go well, will the situation change from a two-ethnic state to a four-clan state? ”

"But that's not possible." Maier decisively retorted, "The ideal state is called an ideal state because it is almost impossible to appear in real life." It seems to me that even if God intervenes in this matter, the Taiyong and Ira people will not change much, because it is God who has given them the right to choose freely. If we change them by brainwashing or something, it will be contrary to my original intention. If things get to that point, there will be no difference between what I do and what you do. ”

God has given humans the power to choose freely, and has also made humans pay the price for their choices. At the same time, God loves the world, and He does not want humanity to perish, so He interferes in human life. He gave the Ira's powers, the Letin Lessin magic, the Elt Els, the Ira's yokai and sorcery, and gave everyone a new language so that the aliens could communicate with each other. Everything God does is to make this world a better place. But Father, if you look at the world, what has become of it? ”

"Bards always praise how beautiful the world is, but is the world really beautiful? Humans say that honesty is good, but humans are passionate about lies; Human beings say that goodness is good, but human beings always hurt each other for the sake of profit. How many people have really pursued the things that human beings think are good, those things that have always been advocated by them? God put them in the most conspicuous place, in the place where human beings are within reach, but how many people have got them? ”

"In the final analysis, the vast majority of people in this world only pay lip service to pursuit, and they have no pursuit in their hearts at all. What can we do about such people? Do you beat them with a whip and drive them forward like cattle, or do you leave them to their own devices? If they don't want to move forward, why are we forcing them to move forward and carrying all sorts of infamy? We suffer in doing so, and they suffer even more. Rather than suffering together, it is better for everyone to get them out of our sight and let them do what they think is right. ”

Maier's words silenced Gray for a few seconds. He took a deep breath and asked Mel a question unhurriedly.

"What does it seem to you that you have with God, Myer?"

"I identify with God's existence, acknowledge that I am His creation, and am willing to live by His rules."

Myer's answer made Gray smile. He took a deep breath and saw the air in his lungs slowly exhale from his nostrils.

"That is, you regard God as your king, and you are a commoner under the king, and your relationship with God is between king and commoner, right?"

Maier nodded affirmatively.

"I also consider God to be my King." "But unlike you, I see myself as a loyal to God. Like other allegiants in the world, I surrender to God's will by my own will, because that is true allegiance. The reason why I preach my theology, why I preach my ideas among the Ilibians, and why I do all sorts of things to change the world, just to do what I can to change the world to be what God wants to see it - but that's all in the past. ”

"I've always made it my mission and felt that no matter how hard and tired I was, I had to keep going, but then I found out that I wasn't as strong as I thought I was. People say that I live in seclusion because of your mother, but in fact it is the opposite, that your mother is too considerate of my feelings and insists that I live in seclusion. I've been working hard for decades, but I can't even see the shadow of success, and the world is getting more and more chaotic because of me, which is a big blow to my confidence. By the time I met your mother, I was almost on the verge of breaking down. ”

"The sudden love overwhelmed me and made me run away. I kept hinting to myself that it was okay, that I had done enough, and now that I had the woman I loved, I would live for her in the future. Your mother rejected me in the first place because she saw through me at a glance and pursued her desperately to escape from reality. Later, I slowly adjusted my mentality, opened my heart to your mother, and got her love with my heart. After that, she understood my pressure and weakness, which is why she insisted that I live in seclusion. ”

"Mary, if God's allegiants are warriors, then I am a deserter. I took advantage of your mother's love for me and escaped my allegiance to God. Allegiance to God was a choice I made, and as a man, I should have carried through my choice, but I ran away, so I was a deserter. Myr, you are a civilian, not a warrior, because you are not loyal to God, and even if you leave everything behind and run away, you are not a deserter. But you, as a civilian, have taken up the mission for me as a soldier, and whenever I think of it, I feel ashamed. ”

But what's the use of being ashamed? I have become a deserter, and you have already carried the burden that belongs to me, and it is useless to regret it. Although I am a deserter, I still retain my loyalty to God and want to make amends for the mistakes I have made, so I will go down the mountain to help you as much as I can, and to lighten the burden on your shoulders. ”

"As a commoner, you do not submit to God's will of your own will, but you know God's will. You know that God loves the world, and you know that God wants to make the world a better place, and He makes these things his goal, so we are comrades because we are like-minded. I tell you the truth, everything I say to you is not to force you to accept my point of view, these are just my suggestions, and it is your freedom to accept it or not. Even if you insist on 'partition', I will fully support you. But as a comrade, I would like to remind you of one thing. ”

"Since you took the initiative to bear this burden and did not leave it behind, then when you carry it, you are responsible for everything that is in it. You always have to remember that you have on your shoulders not only those who want to change, but also those who don't. You can't use respect for their choices as an excuse to pick them out of their burdens, because no one in this world has the right to abandon them except God. ”
