Chapter 42: Fate (2)
"You want me, you can't blame me. ¤ The top point said, "
Mercer spread his hands, his face innocent.
"I always feel that you should apologize to the mixed race all over the world......" Faced with this answer, Xia Mi felt a few black lines hanging down on his head, "Then senior brother, you are also a member of the heavy middle two + tsundere?" ”
"Of course...... No. Mercer leaned halfway to the side and began to manipulate the mouse with one hand, "I don't think I've ever had such a thing as a blood grief." Weird, isn't it? But in my opinion, it's strange that half-breeds can have blood mourning. ”
"What's strange, isn't loneliness a universal phenomenon of half-breeds."
Natsumi rolled over, and at the same time stretched her waist greatly, not caring at all about showing her perfect curves in front of others. "It's the same with dragons, who are lonely and deadly, but always irritable and fierce. Maybe it's the nature of dragon's blood. ”
"Perhaps," Mercer nodded noncommittally, "you know dragons well?" ”
It looks like he's opening station b to check the new one.,In fact, the corner of his eye has never left Xia Mi.。 Just because she's always testing him doesn't mean he won't fight back.
"I know better," Xia Mi didn't deny it, "I took the class very seriously, and I also checked a lot of materials and papers after class." After all, I know that I know that I will win every battle, and I still want to understand why the half-breeds and dragons have been fighting for thousands of years and have not stopped. ”
Sounds like she's still pacifist?
Mercer, surprised, also erased the speculation.
The so-called peace can probably only be achieved when the blood of one side is completely drained. Maybe she prefers peace, but that's just a superficial personality, an idea, and it can't affect her actions. Just like in the original book, Jörmunga loved his brother Fenrir very much, but killed him in tears for more power.
"It could be like yours, it's nature."
Mercer carefully looked at the carefree girl in front of him, trying to discern a hint of Jörmungård in her every move, but found it completely futile. She is so cute and kind.
"There are examples of change, right? The instinct of living beings is self-interested, and dragons have almost completely solidified this instinct," Natsumi changed her posture to lie flat again, unconsciously continuing to ravage the already formless quilt, "But Norton did not choose to hatch his body into a gigantic body, nor did he create eggs, but chose to fuse the dragon servant for revenge. ”
Her eyes looked straight at her, and Mercer couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment.
He still remembers the wish he had made: to change the sad end of this world. However, he indirectly killed Constantine and allowed the Academy to continue to send people to kill Norton.
Is the ending of this pair of brothers and sisters sad?
I think so, for sure. Thousands of years ago, they could only rely on each other, and their younger brother was still somewhat disabled, and then they both suffered accidents. And now that they finally have a chance to reunite, they are killed one after another, leaving the golden keel empty.
He didn't change.
As Natsumi said, dragons are naturally destructive, killing, extreme self-interest and possessiveness, not to mention the hatred between dragons and half-breeds, which may be underestimated by blood feuds. After thousands of years of fighting, the cumulative casualties on both sides are incalculable.
The Bronze and Fire Kings have a deep brotherhood, but if they survive, they will not be able to live quietly and dependently.
They will go for revenge, they will oppress, they will go to occupy.
It doesn't matter what their personality is, this is their nature, and it is an irreversible contradiction and hatred accumulated over thousands of years.
Much like a classic sophistry, isn't it? There was a forked railroad track, one side running normally, with a clear warning sign next to it, and 100 children playing on it; On the other side, a child is playing silently.
At this time, a train is coming, and you have the switch of the wrench in your hand, so should you let those 100 disobedient children die to save 1 obedient child, or let those 1 obedient child die to save 100 disobedient children?
Mercer never liked to do this kind of multiple-choice question, but he had no other way.
Maybe not all endings can be changed.
"I think," he said, with some wonder that his voice was strangely strange at the moment, "that Norton did this because their brothers were really affectionate; Another reason is that revenge is a common nature of dragons and half-breeds, and he submits to this brutal nature, so he doesn't care about himself. ”
Indeed, this is a good explanation.
"In other words, you were carried away by anger, so you went up and died?" Natsumi asked rhetorically with a hint of sneering, "Then the emotions that dragons regard as weak are indeed very important to them." ”
"Of course, dragons just think differently than ordinary people, and their emotions are ...... It may be difficult for us to understand the ways and values that may be expressed, but they are indeed important. ”
"Really?"
Natsumi yawned, as if she was a little sleepy. But as if she had thought of something, she quickly regained her spirits.
"Senior brother, if, well, just if. From an objective point of view, without thinking about the hatred between half-bloods and dragons, do you think the ending of the Bronze and Fire Kings is very unfair? ”
Some clichés.
Mercer paused again in response to her questioning, and combined with her many actions, he felt that some of his judgments seemed to be wrong, and that Natsumi might ...... Is it different from the character he guessed?
And that's not all.
"I think it's normal for them to end well. Whatever their reason, they must have enslaved and slaughtered humanity, so it is normal for them to be destroyed now. Hatred aside, it's quite pitiful, but they have no choice but to kill and be killed. There is no such thing as fairness. ”
He sighed, but he couldn't get anything back.
"It's very philosophical, that is, they deserve to be killed."
"Well, I can do it the other way," Mercer smiled slightly, "If there is an underworld, then they will definitely be able to meet and live a stable life underground, without having to face a cruel choice between two or the other." ”
"Hey, it's too cunning to answer anyway."
Natsumi muttered, but it didn't seem like she was as unhappy as she complained. "It's exactly like the saying: the best thing you can't get at all, that's not to be born, not to be born, not to be nothing."
"The next best thing is to die immediately." Mercer added, "Can't see you looking at Nietzsche so carefree? ”
"What an abominable tone! No mortal like you understands me! ”
Natsumi angrily slammed his pillow, "After understanding nihilism, you will become optimistic or not." ”
“…… Listen to it for the first time. ”
Maybe this is one of the differences between the way dragons and humans think? All Mercer knew was that many people committed suicide because they had fallen into nihilism.
"So," Xia Mi rolled her eyes and lay down softly, "It's not okay if you're not optimistic, fate is like this." ”
"I always think you have something to say," Mercer yawned as well, as if yawning was contagious, "okay, okay, there's nothing to talk about, right?" Go back to bed. ”
"Ah...... Suddenly I don't want to move, so you might as well go to sleep with me. ”
“…… Don't make a fuss! ”
