Chapter 1404: In the World
The Battle of Fukumitsu Island ends with the angels and the maidens being tied up by Rhodes - in which Kyle and Mihira are pinned to the ground after being shot through their wings by the Flame Spear Technique, and are speechless after trying to shoot the mouth cannon.
And the other Morgana......
Because of restraint, she was completely free in front of Rhodes, and she didn't even have a chance to speak, so she was blown off the spell shield and tied up with her sister and mother.
"Wind and fire, I really think how amazing I am!" After tying the three of them together with the shackles of the hot sun, Rhodes finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Now, you need to reflect on what you have done in the past - good intentions may not lead to good results, reckless actions will not bring justice, only trouble, and not all sacrifices are too great to be moved. ”
“……”x3
Misheira, Kyle, and Morgana don't know what to say anymore.
"Just think about what you're going to do next—if you figure it out, maybe there's a chance to really do what you do."
After speaking, Rod didn't give them any time to ask questions, and directly carried the three angels back to his study. Then he hung them all upside down from the door.
At this moment, the shackles of the sun are actually very loose - spells that require continuous casting only maintain a minimum of energy consumption, whether it is Kyle, Mihira, or Morgana, they can break free as long as they want to.
But the three of them were hung here so awkwardly, and none of them struggled.
After all, they are the owners of the Rune of Justice, and defeat is defeat, and until they find the meaning of continuing to fight next, they prefer to think and repent in this way.
In reality, Kyle, Morgana, and Mihira don't realize that their justice has reached the point where they are half ninety miles away—the constellation of justice is divided into four, which actually represents the four aspects of justice.
Mihira represents the verdict and is the most basic definition of justice.
Kyle represents judgment, punishment for transgression of justice – and similarly, Morgana represents forgiveness for those who transgress justice and are remorseful.
And what remains with the Righteous Giant is the most complicated point of justice - the balance of justice.
Whether it is adjudication, judgment or forgiveness, it is the most extreme embodiment of justice, and once justice reaches the extreme, it is no longer justice, so justice itself also needs to be balanced, and only balance can make the purpose, process and result of justice one.
It is precisely because of the absence of this part that Mihira, Kyle and Morgana have a deviation in their understanding of justice, and only by finding the balance of enforcing justice can they truly become the enforcers of justice.
And these Rhodes say that it is useless, only to wait for them to understand.
In his study, Rhodes found a number of records about the giant gods on Fuguang Island - and when he looked for them, the three angels had different choices.
Mihira was the first to break free from the shackles, and at the same time, she also gave up her wings - Mihira, who did not understand what true justice was, chose to truly go to the side of mortals, to observe, to think, and to treat herself as a mortal.
Later, Kyle and Morgana have their own ideas - this time, the two sisters don't quarrel anymore, and they choose to go all the way.
While Kyle and Morgana weren't as deeply touched by what Rhodes had said to their mother, at least they knew that trial and forgiveness alone wouldn't solve the problem.
As for how to solve the problem...... They don't know either.
What Kyle and Morgana know is that, putting aside their insistence on narrowness, this is at least a fresh start.
Rod was very clear about the departure of the three angels, but he didn't say anything - in fact, don't look at Rod and they fought fiercely, but for these three, Rod actually never had any malice.
Rhodes doesn't think he's a good guy, but ...... He still prefers good people.
And Rhodes also believes that when the Void War breaks out, no matter whether these three find true justice or not, at least they will come back and return to their side at the first time - since they are destined to become comrades-in-arms at that time, isn't it the best choice to let them go now and let them grow?
……………………
Kyle and Morgana embark on the path of Noxus.
In Noxus, Kyle has seen a lot of things that he has never seen in Demacia - she has seen the "murderous" slave owner, the one who doesn't seem to be a good guy who buys a large number of cheap slaves in the human market and works for himself.
If it had been before, Kyle might have drawn his sword and rushed forward, but this time she chose to observe silently.
So, she saw that although the big man was angry with the children, he was actually enlightening them according to the Noxian Military Code.
In the eyes of many, when the children reach the age of fifteen or sixteen and their appetites begin to grow, the bastard will sell the children to a Picheng man who has come to Noxus to open a workshop and make another profit, but in reality, this money becomes a bribe to invite the recruiters here......
The little slaves who lost their parents went through primitive scout training, and when the recruiters arrived, they all passed the test - and according to the Noxian decree, slaves were automatically eliminated as long as they passed the test and could join the army.
(As for the Picheng man who took over...... Unfortunately, under Noxian law, slaves who lose their slave status as a result of joining the army are automatically emancipated without any compensation from the slave owner. )
Kyle had a hard time saying whether this guy was righteous or not - in her previous understanding, the slave trade was extremely bad, an unforgivable evil.
But this guy who bought and sold slaves...... But it can't be summed up simply as evil.
Similarly, Morgana, who travels with Kyle, looks at the forgiven for the first time as an observer—she sees a husband who is used to beating his wife.
This time, she did not come forward to persuade her, but just watched the couple quietly and quietly soothed her wife's scars at night.
In this way, she saw her wife forgive her husband again and again, and be beaten worse again and again......
And all this, as if it was an endless reincarnation, could not be terminated - until one day, the wife waved a sharp blade.
Morgana, who had seen all this from a mortal perspective for the first time, had let go of her insistence on it for the first time, and thought about a question for the first time: maybe forgiveness...... Nor can it save from all sins.
What exactly is true justice?
How can true justice be obtained?
Letting go of their prejudices, Kyle and Morgana begin to think.
And their path ...... There is still a long one.
