Chapter 149: Ideas (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
Baron Vain, who came out of the tent, was now both embarrassed and regretful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's embarrassing to be ridiculed like this, or in front of a big man like Mavis. What I regret is that if I could handle that conflict impartially, Soram wouldn't hate him so much, and if he could have a good relationship with Solam, then he would definitely be able to make a good impression in front of Mavis, and even get on the line with Mavis with Soram's help.
However, the people in the tent were not interested in what Baron Vane was thinking, and Baron Vane was a dispensable minor role for Mavis. And Solam and they will not be in the meeting with Baron Vane, his previous blatant favoritism in favor of private soldiers has made all the adventurers in Locke Town have a very bad impression of him.
"Ram, are you really reluctant to serve the army for those things?" Mavis asked.
"There are reasons for this, but not all."
"And what else?"
"Also, that's not my responsibility, I feel like I've done my duty to Locketown." Solam really thinks so, Locke Town allows him to move around freely here, take on tasks to make money, and he does something for Locke Town, which is logically deserved. So when he recruited adventurers before, Soram didn't resist.
But now the situation is different, he has been born and died for Locke Town so many times, and he has fulfilled his responsibilities, and he has not cared about the reward. Then what happens next has nothing to do with Solam. Please, what does the Silvermoon Kingdom have to do with him? Did he use it for their birth and death? He came as a foreigner, and he had no affection for the country.
"But this matter is not only about Rock Town, but also about many ordinary people, you should think about them." Mavis felt that Solam's ideas were too unmotivated, so she began to talk about the truth, wanting to motivate him.
"But do they have anything to do with me? Besides, shouldn't these be your concerns? They pay your taxes, and you protect them. The cause and effect are clear, but tell me, why am I fighting for them? "Soram doesn't bother to care about those people, he's not the Holy Mother, what will happen to those people, that's what the Silvermoon Kingdom should care about.
Solam has always believed that responsibility is linked to rights, and if you enjoy rights, you have to pay responsibilities. I think Soram thinks that if Locke Town allows him, an outsider, to live freely in this town, then he has a certain responsibility, so he will accept the draft, and he thinks that he has done a good job, far more than he should bear.
So what happens next, he has no obligation to help him anymore, after all, he only enjoys a little power, what else does he want? As for the others, does that have anything to do with Solam?
Solam's theory, though a bit cold, has its own logic. He is a time-traveler, and he has always had a strong sense of alienation from the world. Everything in this world, for him, belongs to the "other" world, and there is no sense of belonging.
As if you were with Africans, you would sympathize with them and even shed tears for what happened to them. But would you risk your life for a group of Africans? I don't think anyone will be idle except for a few virgins.
And the vast majority of people in this world, for Solam, are "Africans". Solam doesn't happen to be the kind of person whose heart is overflowing, so he cares about those people having ghosts.
Mavis was shocked by Solam's attitude, his parents were the kind of people who were honest and kind, and they would never stand idly by if they saw someone in trouble, and Solam did not inherit this at all.
"How can you think that? No good person can sit idly by and ignore what is going on here. ”
Not only Mavis, but even Mares looked at Soram nervously, they didn't want their friends, they were such cold-blooded and ruthless people, although they didn't want to work for the nobles, but their original intention was not this.
Solam was a little curious and asked, "Why can't I think that?" Where did I go wrong? Besides, I never said that I was a kind person. ”
"You! Solam, I misread you! Fia couldn't listen anymore, she was willing to run out and be an adventurer, just to be able to help others, she couldn't accept that her teammates were so cold-blooded, and Soram also said that she was not a person from the good camp.
Solam looked at Fia a little stunned, he didn't expect that he was just telling the truth, and Fia actually reacted so much.
"Huh? Did I say the wrong thing? ”
Neither Sim nor Maris spoke, just looked at Soram in surprise, they didn't expect Soram to say that.
"Ram, what camp do you think you are?" Mavis now scolded Sokoya half to death in his heart, he felt that it was all the Paladin's fault, and sent Soram to Avalon, so that Soram did not receive a good education since he was a child, resulting in his three views being completely distorted.
"I guess I'm absolutely neutral." Although Solam has not experienced faction detection, he considers himself neither good nor evil, does not hate order, and is not hostile to chaos, he has never been an extreme person, he thinks that it is good to follow his heart.
He never thought that order was necessarily good and chaos was necessarily bad. If it's too orderly, it's too rigid, and that's all the fun. It's too chaotic, and like a psychopath, Soram doesn't like it.
As for good and evil, Soram doesn't really care, he only does things from his heart, he does it if he likes it, and he doesn't do it if he doesn't like it. For example, when they are discussing, he doesn't set so many rules and regulations for himself.
Mavis felt that she needed to correct this kid's three views, otherwise she would really be sorry for his parents.
"Do you think kindness is bad?"
"I think it's good to be kind." Kindness is certainly good, and it is impossible for Soram to deny this, and he cannot deny it.
"Then why don't you like kindness."
"When did I not like kindness." Soram was inexplicably surprised by this, oh, I don't like kindness if I'm not in the good camp, what kind of logic is this?
"Then why don't you join the camp of goodness?"
"Well, how to put it, let's put it this way, I like kind people, but I don't think I'm going to be a kind person."
"Why?" For the first time, they had heard of people who could not be good themselves.
"Let's put it this way, I don't like to stick to the rules, I don't like to be too restrictive, I like to go with my feelings. For example, you think it's good to help the army encircle monsters, but I don't like it, so I don't want to participate. But what happens to good people? They don't care if they like it or not, they run to help others. ”
Solam picked up a glass of wine and drank it down, "And I have to do one thing, I usually don't care much about the process, I just want the result to be what I want." For example, the last time I was in the Vinyl Tavern, I tortured that ugly bastard, and now Timo says I'm going too far, but in fact, I don't care what happens to that ugly bastard, I just want the result I want, and I don't care how to achieve my goal. ”
After saying that, Solam looked at the others and saw that none of them spoke, so he continued.
"I like to do things with my own feelings, I like to do it, even if it is bad in your eyes, but if I don't like it, I don't bother to do it, even if that thing is good in everyone's eyes, understand."
"But if it's a good thing, why don't you do it?" Fia could not agree with the Solam theory.
"Don't you understand? I don't like it, that's not enough? Solam wondered why Fia was still struggling with this, "Let's put it this way, I think a good person thinks more about others, that's right." ”
For everyone else nodded, not all good people are like that.
"But I'm different, I look at things more on my own, I'm essentially a selfish person. Now you get it. ”
Mavis felt that Solam's three views were distorted, how could anyone say that he was a selfish person, and he said it so eloquently. She felt fortunate that she was able to meet Soram now, and if it was a little later, she didn't know what would have become of Solam.
The others felt the same way when they looked at Solam, as if they had met Soram for the first time.
"However, you have not done a lot of good things, such as saving us, such as helping Alice, and you saved Baron Vane on the battlefield, these are all good things!" Fia seems to want to prove that Soram is a good person, so she tells all the good things Soram has done.
"I only said that I am not a good person, but I didn't say that I don't do good things, right?"
"Then you've done so many good things, why aren't you a good person?"
"Well, let me tell you this, I do these things because I want to do them, not because of faith, or the concept of good and evil, you understand now, for example, I saw that you were not happy that day, I may not save you. After all, you had nothing to do with me at the time. ”
"In other words, you do good deeds entirely by virtue of your mood?" Maris asked, a little uncertain.
"That's right! That's what it looks like. Soram finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that someone finally understood what he meant.
"Then you don't want to join this army because you don't want to do it." Mavis also somewhat understood Soram's style, but she felt that Solam's style was a bit chaotic.
"Yes, I know it's a good thing to help with the ogres, but I don't like the nobles, and I don't think I'm responsible for them anymore. So I don't want to do it with that. ”
