Chapter 116: What Is Justice? IV
Something happened to Elpahim.
The number of posts related to the apparitions of the Three Goddesses is rapidly climbing above the community.
Elpahim was the center of the Electors of the entire North, and less than half an hour ago, most of the Electors and adventuring teams in Elpahim and the surrounding area had seen the three pillars of light that soared into the sky. Under the night sky, the visual range of the pillar of light even covers dozens of kilometers away, and even in places like Dorifin, it can be clearly seen.
But most people only see the pillar of light, but they don't understand what is going on under it. People are asking each other: What is going on? Is something big going on in the north? How did such news break out one after another? Is the manifestation of the three goddesses related to the long-rumored prophecy of the crow?
But people know very little, and those who know the inside story are either not aborigines, or choose to keep silent. At first, few people connected this incident to the 'rebellion' that was taking place in Greyowl Town, after all, one side was the followers of Adan Rian and the other was the followers of Nicol Bolas, neither of whom had anything to do with the three goddesses.
But until a piece of news came out of the port of Gulla:
'Coordinate Gula Harbor, Marland's Chosen Knight has moved-'
In the video, knights in silver helmets and silver armor line up in the wind and snow, with their heads high. Flags stood in the midst of the long procession, on which the emblem of the goddess of war was raised, the cold wind stirred the hunt, and the ranks of knights left the city in silence.
As if they had received an order, the guards at the city gate and harbor did not dare to stop them, but only stood on both sides like wooden sculptures, watching this scene happen.
Soon after, another news came, and the Chosen Knights of Elpashin Marlan and Milera also left the city.
In the video taken, the presence of the Elven Ranger was even spotted in the long queue. What's going on? There are more and more posts asking questions, but no one answers.
The wandering horse looked away from the community, put down his pen, and rubbed his eyes.
It's been two weeks since he returned to Stargate Harbor, and he's given the team behind him a vacation, but he's never left Aitaria - he's been in this place, keeping an eye on what's going on in that world.
In the past six months, since the game left a touch on his heart, he has been keeping an eye on everything after that. But the more he investigated, the more surprised he became, from Doriphon, to Elpahim, to Van Rik and Istania, everything about the young man, in addition to the information that people knew on the surface, he unexpectedly noticed some unknown details.
On a thin sheet of white paper, several unrelated place names are written:
Idus, Van Rick, Nevad (elven dwelling), Fenris, Dorifen.
The wandering horse lifted the thin piece of paper and looked through the soft light at the markings—in which Idus, Van Rick, and Doriphon were circled, and a small line of text was placed next to it: 'Dragon Witch Event Line-'
He lightly taped the paper to the wall, and on it was a map of the Kaulin-Ishuri safe realm, marked with different markings and areas, surrounded by similar notes, and even printed news and screenshots. Next to Al Pakhin is the news of the Continental League, with the image of everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade wanted after the events in Istania.
The figures were cut out one by one and nailed in a row next to them with a toe tack.
Next to Dorifin, there is news about the disappearance of Dorifin's illusion, and some legends related to Dorifin's heroes in the community.
Next to Du Lun, there are a few screenshots that have been circulated in the battle between the Southern Alliance and BBK, and a few of them have taken pictures of the tall figure of the Orphin twin stars in the fog, as well as the crowd, standing next to Ye Hua - a young man who is looking a little surprised.
To the south, Nevard cut and pasted a piece of news that few people had noticed at the time: 'Several Guild Elite Electors Converge in the South—'
'Someone has photographed Odin, Hades, Washing Hands and Léa meeting in the area of the elven dwelling, and the Rainbow Alliance negotiating with the Descendants of Flor?' ’
The eyes of the wandering horses paused for a moment—to the west of Nevad, a few words were written on the map in blacked-out font - Summer Tower, Tower Trial.
Further down is Van Rik, and everything about Van Rik has long been known to the world, and it is there that the Seven Seas Brigade first came to prominence, and the name of the Dragon Alchemist has spread. The wandering horse picked up the pen and turned the pen in his hand, regretting that he had not gone to that place himself, otherwise he might have had the opportunity to meet the other party.
It was also the closest that most ordinary people were to each other, and then they became unknown again.
Next up is Idus and Istania, where most of the Seven Seas Brigade is known - although the Kingdom of Istania is tight-lipped about what happened during that time, most of them have lived through the Great War and have captured some of its images.
Although it is not clear what exactly happened in Istania, it is more or less surmising that the people of the Seven Seas Brigade must have something to do with it, and maybe they were involved, otherwise the series of events that followed would not have happened after that.
They also got their own ship there—
A wind ship that most people dream of.
But Idus—
The wandering horse remembered a little-spread, but rather interesting rumor in the community at that time, as if the Fleur Descendants of Flor had run into a lot of trouble and clashed with other people when they were exterminating the Blood Shark pirates in that place.
And the brigade Changqing of the Cang Journey Group personally participated in it, and he also lost face in the live broadcast, saying that he met the student of the legendary Sword Master R.
Juggernaut R, the wandering horse thought to himself with some interest, that can be regarded as a figure from the previous era.
Finally, his gaze returned to the top of the map, lingering on one of the place names for a long time. All the clues are connected into a line, but only this place, surrounding it, is like a black hole that devours everything, cutting off all the news related to it.
Only here the chain is broken.
"Have they ever been there?"
"Generally speaking, the liner from Al Pahin does not need to stop at Fenris."
"But the storm ......"
But sometimes the horse trusts his instincts more than reasoning, and he rubs his pen over the paper, drawing meaningless lines. When he was in Aitalia, he had become accustomed to writing notes on paper with a variety of pens, and he retained this habit when he returned to the real world.
At this time, the personal message on the community suddenly jumped, reminding him that there was a new message in the post he was following.
The wandering horse put down his pen, clicked on the light screen with his hand, and after reading this last message, he had to rest. Although he is a typical workaholic in the eyes of others, a good rest is also a guarantee of work efficiency.
It's just that when I opened the post, the wandering horse was stunned:
"Witch of the Sea, ...... Mia?"
In an instant, all memories of an event a year ago came back to him.
"Mia, the witch of the sea, replied to that post!"
In an instant, the news exploded above the community.
But most people haven't recovered from the events of the Three Girls' apparitions, and so much has happened since the day that people who have been following it since the morning seem a little confused, and they don't even know which one to discuss better: "What post did you reply to?" People asked in bewilderment.
"What's more, of course, the 'Truth About the North—' post."
"What, what did she reply?"
After all, the Witch of the Sea was once a star player in BBK, and even today, she still enjoys a high reputation in the community, and even has many fans and followers. It's just that she's been missing since she broke off her relationship with the Flor Descendants, and it's not even clear where she's gone after she left for the Second World.
This witch lady has not appeared in public for a long time, and how could she appear in such a controversial post at such a point in time?
She said, "The person who read the post couldn't help but shout before he finished reading it: ", she has publicly stated that she fully supports the other party's position, no...... It should not be the redeemed, but those who ......"
"What!?"
The news was like a bombshell that shook everyone around.
Wouldn't standing up for the refugees at this time be tantamount to associating oneself with the rebel side as defined by Elpahim?
"But why, even if she is on the opposite side of the alliance, there is no need to stand up at this time......
"Isn't that too impulsive?"
“…… There is this possibility, Miss Miya has always been an iron, or she would not have betrayed BBK and came out......"
"Tou Tie (tears and laughter), be tactful, be tactful, everyone...... Miss Mia is just a little ...... It's just a tendon......"
But this is just a mutual ridicule between fans, and more people are concerned about what kind of attitude the sea witch is expressing when she makes a statement at this time.
To be able to become the top caller in the second world, even if there is some luck factor, but who can do this, who will lack the favor of Lady Luck? The best of those people, almost every one of them has their own way of dealing with problems, so that they can get to this level step by step.
Nor can the attitude they display on such occasions be merely impulsive.
"What did she say?"
"You'd better see for yourself......
The wandering horse in front of the light screen had read out the title of the reply word by word:
'What is justice?' ’
Everyone in front of the screen was silent.
The wandering horse's eyes narrowed slightly, as if these four words alone were enough to make a fluctuating emotion well-rise in his heart.
He opened his mouth slightly, exhaled a long breath, and looked up, his eyes fixed on the direction of the ceiling in the darkness—in the depths and depths there, there was only a faint red light that was flickering, and that was the light of the emergency light—the fireflies reflected in the depths of his pupils, but it seemed as if he had seen a long time.
The solemn proclamation, the flickering lights under the golden dome, and the long applause that rang out from the more than 1,300 seats......
It roared like a storm, and set an era:
'What is justice?' ’
'Justice is not about bullying the weak, about the law of the jungle, not about suspicion and strife—'
In the course of the evolution of our civilization, our definition of the universal moral law has also changed over and over again. But no matter how the discussion about the nature of justice changes, our pursuit of justice remains consistent in our hearts. ’
'This is the age to which we belong, and the ignorance and uncivilized wilderness we have experienced; In this era, we abandon animal nature and continue to pursue the shining light of human nature, and we are proud of it, because it symbolizes the foundation of our civilization and progress. ’
‘…… The star gate that we have opened will symbolize the common courage of mankind today, and our noble courage will only light up darkness and nothing else. ’
And the end of war, and the advent of peace, which we have witnessed, will be the answer to all these questions on this day. ’
From then on, whenever our descendants ask us, how can we use the small power of our race to explore the unknown of this endless universe? ’
'At least at such a moment, we can proudly answer them: Fellow citizens, we will use the flame of reason to light the way forward-'
At the beginning of this reply.
The speech it cites is the foundation and witness to the birth of the Stargate Declaration.
And that is the glory of the forerunners, who used their nobility to inspire, rather than exert power, to change the two worlds.
For the first time, people have brought the two strange worlds together, and the aborigines and the elect have accepted and understood each other, and have taken steps to explore the deeper unknown.
That's where the Second World comes from.
It should have been a monument, not a battlefield for dividing interests.
The sweat that people have paid together has witnessed the glory and golden age of such an era.
But what happened? ’
Miya asked.
'Can we turn a blind eye to the suffering that is happening in front of us?' ”
Whether this is a rebellion or a rebellion, I believe everyone can see with their eyes. But what kind of arrogance makes its definition in the hands of a few? ’
'Who can define right and wrong, and who can deny black and white?' Is everything we used to abandon come back to us? Are we going to repeat the mistakes of history again and again, and never get out of this closed loop? ’
Is this competition, or is it greed? ’
‘…… When they want everyone to be silent, we choose to speak up. I hope that we will still be able to answer that old question from the past. ’
'What is justice?' ’
It was a long silence.
But people passed on inexplicable emotions to each other, but gradually some surprises found that the organization that was supposed to speak for this, the Super Athletic League, seemed to be in a strange state of loss of voice at the moment. People don't believe that the Coalition will be left speechless for a few lines.
They have never cherished their feathers that way.
Something must have happened.
But when the question was spreading, after Mia, the witch of the sea, replied, there were more people's names and IDs.
People watched the IDs appear, and for a moment they seemed to be in the midst of an event that was both strange and somewhat familiar. And that term should have been lost to the community's memory four years ago.
Mount Covenant –
……
The wind and snow gradually became very heavy.
Kita looked up at the thick layer of snow that had accumulated on the commander's shoulders, and Fang Yu stood at the head of the city, silently staring at the darkness ahead—the border of the forest, looming under the wind and snow, the darkness lingering under the pointed canopy, and the woodlands of the north were full of ancient legends.
"The guards of the Ravental Sanctuary have been spotted to the north."
"There are at least a few thousand of them, enough to block the road to the north."
People are whispering, passing on the latest news.
The militia of the redeemed, who had rushed back, gasped, and the white mist dissipated into the cold wind of the night, and replied to Sky Blue and Alyssa, "The inhabitants of the town are not very stable, and although we have been exempted from the heavy taxes left by the Temple, most of us are not optimistic about us. More people fear that the temple will retaliate after that......"
"It's human nature." Alyssa nodded.
"So what do we do?" Azure asked.
The Redeemed Militia replied, "Actually, it's nothing, two ladies, Miss Sylvede has helped us think of a way not to make a big mess." ”
"What's she up to?" Azure asked a little curiously.
"Miss Sylvide tells us not to be too pretentious about the people of the town, so that they will not dare to do anything to us, at least on the surface, although they have some complaints in their hearts." Faced with the inquiries of the two, the militiaman replied honestly.
"Ah, what else can it be?"
"Of course, why not?" Alyssa immediately understood what Miss Shipssay's approach was, "The people of the Ravental Sanctuary have swords in their hands, but so do we, not to mention that in the eyes of those people, we are Nicol Bolas's followers, and I am afraid that we are even more terrible than the people of the Ravental Temple. ”
"That being said, we can't really do anything to the townspeople, can we?"
"Of course, but how do they know if we're going to?"
Tianlan's eyes were a little bright when she heard this, and she always felt that her knowledge of a certain aspect had increased. She stood there silent, and there was probably some kind of talent awakened in her little brain—if it was possible, the poet lady would probably find some common language with some of the lady's followers.
She and the box were returning from the refugee camp to deliver supplies, but she didn't expect so many things to happen. The boy was briefly explaining to the others what had happened during the day, and everything about the 'magic sword', and he didn't like to talk about it, so he just described it briefly:
It's like, 'I drew my sword,' 'I killed someone,' 'I'm done fighting,' and so on. Although it sounds dry, everyone can still think of the danger at that time, and they are also very curious about the sword in the box's hand. But the box couldn't say why, and after asking Deelle, the little girl didn't actually know the owner of the bakery.
"He's just one of the many refugees in town who he is, and I don't know who he is, maybe he's a descendant of Edwin Kleve." Faced with everyone's inquiring looks, Sand Night shook his head and replied.
"Maybe when the day comes, we'll have to meet the bakery."
But it was at this time that Fang Yu turned around and interrupted their conversation:
"Someone is coming."
"Who's coming?" Tianlan was stunned when she heard this: "Brother Ed, you haven't told us yet, what are you doing in this cold and dead place in the middle of the night?" ”
But Fang Yu didn't answer her question, but turned around and looked in one direction in the darkness.
In his hand, the communication crystal was flashing with a dark red light, and a somewhat confident voice was coming from it:
"Ed, we're here."
When Sha Ye heard that voice, he couldn't help but stand in place for a while. She was looking back in surprise, with an unbelievable glint in her eyes: "Momiji ......?" ”
But it's not just the autumn leaves that come.
In the midst of the snowstorm, many teams were slowly coming out of the forest, and the flags in people's hands were flying through the staggered canopy and in the bitter cold wind.
That's the Free Elect of the entire North—
