"... Ass Problem... This... Arthas asked, a little shyly.

"It seems that Miss Arthas is still very pure! Even the ass is a little difficult to accept this time. Carl laughed twice, and then said: "Actually, in my eyes, this is a simple matter of position. I don't know if you've heard a phrase, Miss Arthas? The ass decides the head. ”

Seeing Arthas's puzzled look, Carl explained to her: "The so-called ass decides the head, in fact, it is a very simple matter of position. ”

"According to what you said, Mr. Uther is the head of the Knights of the Silver Hand, right?"

"Well, yes."

"So who has the right to mobilize the Knights of the Silver Hand? Or rather, to whom are the Knights of the Silver Hand allegiated? ”

"It's directly under the royal family of Lordaeron."

"So when the beliefs of the paladins you mentioned clash violently with your royal family, which side will these knights of the Knights of the Silver Hand stand on?" Karl asked coldly.

The question stumped Arthas, and she pondered for a moment before whispering, "If the royal family disagrees with the Way of Light, they ... Most of them would be on the side of the Light ... A small number of allegiances to the Crown should be standing with us ... ”

From her unconfident words, Carl had already gotten the answer he wanted. He then asked Arthas, "So I really don't know if you, the Knights of the Silver Hand, belong to the royal family or the church... So Miss Arthas, I would like to know a question. Is it really the way of the Light, as it preaches, that as long as everyone is bathed in the Light, there will be no more sorrow and pain in the world? ”

Arthas remembered the Shadow Priests and the self-proclaimed incarnation of the Light, Naru, in their posthumous form--- Entropy Demon.

Silence is the best answer, and Karl says to her: "Light and darkness correspond to each other, and where there is light, there is darkness." So the way of light in your mouth clearly magnifies the light and avoids the darkness. Okay, let's get back to business. ”

"Actually, in the matter of the slaughter of the city of Stasom that you have spoken, I find that the point of disagreement between you and that Mr. Uther is the question of position. Uther and most of the Silver Hand Paladins under him only considered that the current practice was not in line with their own beliefs and teachings, but did not consider whether they had the ability to do so. ”

"If you follow the so-called teachings of the Light, then there is only one consequence. That is, eight thousand soldiers plus a small number of Silver Hand Paladins could not stop the two hundred thousand former citizens of Stratholme who had become enemies and sources of infection. And if your first line of defense fails, the consequences will be catastrophic. Your kingdom of Lordaeron will fall in just a few days, and it will not be possible to retain some of its territory and troops. Carl analyzed.

"It was with this consequence in mind that I gave that order... Arthas whispered.

"So that's the biggest point of disagreement between you and Mr. Uther! You are sitting in the seat of the heir of a kingdom, and you need to judge whether this issue is harmful to your kingdom. If so, then what can be done to minimize the harm. If not, then we do it in a way that we don't have. Right? Karl asked.

"Yes, but Uther refuses to carry out my orders on the grounds that there must be a way. Then in my rage I declared him treason and disbanded the Knights of the Silver Hand... If I had known that all of this was a conspiracy of the Dreadlord, I would not have been in such a hurry to give the order to slaughter the city... Arthas said guiltily.

"Then Miss Arthas, can you tell me all the reasons why you slaughtered the city, and why you can't wait to do so?" Carl asked.

"Well, that's going to start with Dalaran... Arthas began to explain from the beginning why he had come to an almost fanatical belief that Stratholme had no other way but to slaughter the city.

After listening to Arthas's story, Karl thought for a moment. He carefully considered the words and said to Arthas, "Miss Arthas, I actually think your character is really... It's too cowardly and extreme. ”

"I didn't!" Arthas said angrily.

"You see, you're a sign of weakness. As soon as I finished speaking, you retorted to the reporter. Why don't you listen to me? Carl said with a smile.

Arthas was speechless for a moment, she lowered her head stupidly, and said with a gloomy expression: "Why do you all say that I am cowardly? Uther, Gianna, Verdin... Why does everyone who sees me call me cowardly?! I'm obviously ... I've been thinking about this country! ”

Looking at Arthas, who had an expression of 'it's not me that's wrong, it's the whole world that's wrong', Carl said to her, "Miss Arthas, I'd like to ask. Your kingdom of Lordaeron, or the world of Azeroth, where you are. Is there some kind of coping mechanism in the face of some emergencies? Or the reaction process? ”

Arthas thought hard for a moment, then shook his head: "No." ”

"Then Miss Arthas, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking. Hypothetical, this is just a mere hypothesis. Suppose a serious riot breaks out in your kingdom of Lordaeron, how will you respond? Karl asked.

"It must be to strengthen the vigilance of the surrounding area first, and then send elite soldiers to eliminate it!" Arthas said without thinking.

"I can probably see why you're so persistent, Miss Arthas." Karl nodded thoughtfully. He asked again, "Then Miss Arthas, I want to ask you." When you were chasing the Dreadlord you were talking about, did you think calmly about the question you called Stratholme? ”

"This..." Arthas froze, and she thought carefully about her actions before and after Stratholme.

"Damn the Dreadlord! Even at that time, he was already using mind magic to influence me! She threw an angry fist on the table.

Carl looked at the cracked desktop, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice. He asked Arthas, "Miss Arthas, would you be interested in knowing what our government or I would do if the undead plague you spoke of happened in our world?" ”
