A week later, the goddesses returned.

Only this time, everyone's expressions looked gloomy and ugly.

"What's wrong? Stretch your face so long one by one? ”

Sitting behind the desk, looking at the angry girls with puffed cheeks, Fang Zheng smiled.

"It can't be that the mission has failed, right?"

"No, Knight, the ......... The mission was successful, but ........."

The goddess stopped talking, she looked at Emilia not far away, and Emilia was looking down at the ground without saying a word. And Parker is also rare to be by Emilia's side, without saying a word.

"You can report it."

Fang Zheng nodded to the goddess official, and the goddess officer also hurriedly stood up and explained the whole situation.

According to the goddess, the task they took over this time to clear the goblins was at the junction of the border of the Kingdom of Lugnica and the gathering place of the elves, because there was a situation where the goblins harassed the elven tribe, so the elf tribe asked for help, but because Lugonica has a serious xenophobic tendency, and now Lugonica has no king, so it was finally decided to find adventurers to solve the situation——— which is also the reason why the elven archers will be found, and after the next mission, the other party also joined it.

It went well at first, and for Firut and Amilia, after witnessing the goblin atrocities, they also experienced a series of baptisms from shock to anger. Then the group went deep into the ruins, not only destroying the goblins entrenched in the ruins, rescuing the captives who were abused by the goblins, but also finding the ruler of the goblins——— a troll from the Demon King's army!

The crowd was locked in a bitter battle at first, but then the idiot troll made a mistake.

It actually started chanting the fireball spell.........

And then it was overturned by a burst magic from Megumi who likes to be on the waves.

It can be said that in the end, the whole plan to encircle and destroy the goblins was a complete success, but the problem lies after that.

After eliminating the trolls, the goddess and her party began to habitually search for the nest of the little goblin and completely clean up these evil seeds. But what they didn't expect was that when Ace was about to kill a little goblin, she was seen by Emilia, and then Emilia actually intervened to stop her.

She wants to save this little goblin!

The goddess and Ace are naturally a hundred unwilling to do this, they have surrounded so many goblin nests, and naturally know how dangerous it is to let these little goblins survive, but Emilia thinks that goblins are not inherently so bad, and you are simply slaughtering by doing this!

The two sides quarreled, and at this time, the little goblin who was sheltered by Emilia actually picked up a stone and tried to attack Emilia, but was stabbed to death by the quick-eyed Ace. Originally, everyone thought that Emilia should recognize the nature of those goblins, but unexpectedly, Emilia said that we wanted to kill it first, and it was natural for the little goblin to fight back.........

Now even Firut felt that Emilia was unreasonable.

So after that, the two sides had a big fight, and the goddesses insisted that goblins were evil beings, and staying would only cause disaster for thousands of years. And Emilia said that it is completely unreasonable to infer good or bad from race, and this kind of thing should not be done at all!

Because of this, on the way back, the atmosphere in the team was also quite tense, and everyone didn't expect that a simple mission would end up like this.........

However, Fang Zheng had expected it.

Otherwise, why would he arrange for Emilia to kill the goblins?

"Okay, I get the general situation."

After listening to the goddess's report, Fang Zheng nodded, and then looked at Amilia.

"So Emilia, what do you have to say?"

"I......... My mind hasn't changed, I don't think I should kill those little goblins......... It makes so much sense to kill them just because they're goblins! ”

"But I didn't say that if you don't kill them, these goblins will attack other villages and people!"

Hearing this, Megumi couldn't help but retort, but Emilia obviously had her own insistence.

"If you hadn't killed so many goblins, they wouldn't have been reduced to attacking villages!"

"Is this still our fault? If it weren't for these goblins attacking the village, why would we have to destroy them! ”

Looking at the argument between Megumi and Emilia, it always feels like things are going to "the chicken or the egg in the world......... It's no wonder that they didn't quarrel all the way to a result, it's hell if they can quarrel with a result.

"Alright, stop arguing."

Fang Zheng didn't bother to listen to such a low-level quarrel, and directly waved his hand to signal the two to stop.

"I've heard both of your reasons, and I understand what you're thinking. So now, let me tell you what I think. ”

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Fangzheng, and Fangzheng swept around the crowd.

"Here, I won't tell you right and who is wrong right at once, what we have to do first is to think scientifically, look at the problem rationally, and then be able to solve the problem."

“……………？？？”

"The first thing I want to say to you is, what is good and what is bad? What do you think determines this? ”

"This ..............."

In the face of Fang Zheng's inquiry, the group was speechless.

"What is good for race, good for ethnicity, good for our development. In turn, it's a bad thing. For example, why can't you just kill someone? Because casual killing will cause social chaos and make a country ruined, and in this way, the citizens of the country will not be able to live in peace, thus reducing their quality of life. In order to make the people's lives and work more secure, there is a law that prohibits random killing. ”

Fang Zheng stretched out his finger and tapped the table.

"Why do people advocate helping the weak and helping each other? Because only when we unite in this way can we develop and grow. Humans are very fragile, in the wild, human physical fitness is not as good as that of wild beasts, and they will not vomit venom, and they will die when they are sick. They are not like wolves, nor are they comparable to the vitality of wurms and dragons, and if they were not united, humanity would have perished long ago. That's why we advocate solidarity and oppose isolation. ”

In the face of Fang Zheng's words, the girls nodded blankly, although they could not particularly understand what Fang Zheng said, but they understood the general meaning inside.

"Therefore, goodness and justice, good and bad are always a subjective definition, and the values that apply in one ethnic group do not mean that they also apply in another."

Saying this, Fang Zheng looked at Emilia.

"Amilia, your idea is good, but it's a pity that a premise is missing."

"Prerequisites?"

"That's right, that's why you have to agree with the goblins that what they're doing is wrong."

"This ......... Does this need to be asked? ”

Emilia was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, attacking the village and abusing the girl, this must be wrong!

"Of course, it may be a matter of course for you, but it may not be true for other races, for example......... Do you think cannibalism is a good thing or a bad thing? ”

"Of course it's a bad thing!"

"But on the island to the south, there is a race called cannibals, who will dig out the hearts of defeated enemies and swallow them alive......... What do you think? ”

"Wow......... Really? ”

"I definitely don't want to go to that island......... I don't want to run into cannibals ......... either."

Hearing Fangzheng's words, the girls showed expressions that couldn't bear to look at them directly, while Emilia frowned and thought about it.

But that's when Firut spoke.

"Do you still need to think about it? Those guys must be fanatics! Lunatic! ”

"Really? So if I were to tell you, in their culture, eating the heart of the enemy means gaining the enemy's great power......... That is, they recognized this powerful enemy and ate his heart. For cannibals, this is not a bad thing, let alone a sin, but a kind of glory............... So how do you convince these cannibals that cannibalism is a bad thing? ”

"This ..............."

This time, Emilia didn't know how to answer.

"Goblins are the same, you may think that goblins are evil and crazy, you want to do justice, but no matter how you use words to embellish, the essence of hunting goblins will not change——— that is, the existence of goblins threatens the life of humans, so we will destroy goblins."

Saying this, Fang Zheng spread his hands.

"Look, it's that simple. It is pointless to entangle the good and the bad, we have to look at the essence through the phenomenon, the goblin lifestyle is robbery and plunder, and the goblin has no females, so they can only force the birth and reproduction by plundering the women of other races, this is an objective reality, not a subjective will can be changed. ”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng smiled.

"It's the same with the demons, don't you think the demons are destroying everywhere, destroying, and evil? But how about they just want to destroy the world and then reunite with their mother? Doesn't it sound pathetic, sad? All they do is to see their mothers, so, in order to pity these demons, should we simply let them destroy the world? ”

“……………………”

"If one day, a mysterious race suddenly appears and attacks humanity on the grounds that 'you humans are so evil that you humans are wantonly killing other beings and devouring their flesh and blood to sustain your existence!' Must be exterminated! What do you do? Is it to listen to them and stop eating, and starve to death? Or do you want to fight back? ”

"This ..............."

"The lion king will kill and eat the children left behind by the previous lion king, and then give birth to his own children with the lioness. Disabled wolves are killed by wolves. By human standards, these are all evil deeds that can no longer be evil, but for them, this is only an action necessary for survival, and what the lion king needs is to keep his offspring, not to raise the children of the previous lion king. The wolves need to stay alive to face the next hunt, and an injured and disabled wolf will not bring any benefit to the pack, but will drag it down. ”

Fang Zheng crossed his hands and leaned back on the back of the chair, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, looking at the girls who were lost in thought.

"Look, that's the difference in basic values, something that is taken for granted for us, and maybe inconceivable for other races. What is taken for granted by other races may be unacceptable to us. ”

"Isn't it......... Can't we get along? ”

"Some aspects can seek common ground while reserving differences, for example, elves do not eat meat, but it will not prevent humans from eating meat, although it may not be used to it, but it is acceptable, this is seeking common ground while reserving differences. But on the other hand, you can't convince a wolf to graze, because the wolf is a carnivore, and if you eat grass, it will die, which is the price of life, and the wolf will definitely not listen to you. ”

"I really didn't expect you to say so many strange things, little brother, it sounds quite reasonable."

"Objective reality and subjective will exist at the same time, and so do you."

Looking at Firut, Fang Zheng smiled.

"That's what you're going to learn."

"Huh? What am I learning this for? ”

"In order to be able to find a theoretical basis for your hatred, what you said in the council chamber before, although it is very reasonable, but the theoretical basis is very weak, you have to look through the phenomenon to see the essence, find the root cause of all this, and then find the problem and solve the problem......... Especially if you really want to overthrow Luganica's system once and for all. ”

"Uh......... Sounds like a lot of trouble........."

"If you don't become king, you don't need to bother."

After a slap of Firut, Fang Zheng looked at the silent Emilia again.

"So are you, Amilia."
