265 Public trial of the holy warriors, absolute justice
"Greetings to the Grand Cardinal of the Finn-Crimson Community, Richie Preor. ”
Li Qi returned the salute: "Although this is not the first time we have said hello. ”
A roar sounded in the rear, and dozens of paladins pierced through the sawdust streamers and ascended to the high platform, led by the purple-haired girl.
She said coldly: "You still have the courage to mention it last time! You still have the face to slander our justice!"
"Nama!"
Cheyenne waved her hand to stop the girl, causing the paladins to stop.
The Legendary Paladin maintained a friendly attitude and said, "I also know that these Paladins have had some misunderstandings with your people, and I will discuss the issue of compensation with you with the greatest sincerity. But before that, I have to take them away, what's your opinion?"
"I don't have any opinion on your thoughts", Li Qi said calmly: "I only care about what you do, if you really want to put it into action, the consequences will be war." ”
"War?"
Cheyenne squinted slightly: "You did make a lot of preparations, but I didn't find the existence of the legend." Are you willing to risk your own lives and the lives of your subordinates to do such a pointless thing?"
"Cheyenne", Li Qi sighed: "Let's not be so hypocritical as you, although it is the first time we meet, we should know each other very well." ”
"In the eyes of all the adventurers of the Godfall Plateau, in the mouth of your bear child, you are the holy warrior who is the least like a holy warrior. As for me, I never took my aristocracy seriously. ”
"As for going to war with you, with Cheandia, you may have misunderstood something, I'm talking about war, not fighting......"
He said in a gentle tone that didn't make sense of the threat at all, "Didn't you take the paladins to the Divine Fall Plateau to pioneer just to stay away from Finn's war? When the time comes, Xia Andia will be designated by the Order Alliance as a sinner who is in the same stream as Ika, and become a heretic in the crusade of the Holy Warrior Orders everywhere, are you sure you are willing to accept such consequences?"
Cheyenne raised her eyebrows: "I will avoid such a thing, for the justice I insist on, even if I do something that I am not willing to do, I will not hesitate." ”
"So that others can't see and can't hear?"
Li Qi pointed around: "Do you think that the preparations I made are all to deal with you? Wrong, even if you use clever efforts to shield everyone's eyes and ears, even if you use the legendary realm to cover this high platform, but the dialogue between us, what happened on the high platform, is still recorded by the camera, by the way......"
He pointed in the direction of the tens of thousands of viewers under the stage: "It's still live now, pay attention to your demeanor and words." ”
The faint laughter penetrated the streamers and entered the high platform, making the faces of Xia An and the others change slightly.
As if laughter is power, Li Qi arrogantly spread his hands and said: "Of course, if you really want to do anything, you can kill me and the thousands of people on the field." ”
Cheyenne was still silent, and the holy warriors behind him finally couldn't hold their breath.
"When did we go along with Ika!?"
"You don't want to sow disarray between us and the other Paladin Orders!"
"You think this will threaten us!?"
Cheyenne had to raise her hand again to signal her mouth to shut up, and said in a low voice: "No wonder you are still so calm in the face of me, this is indeed a powerful threat to Cheyendia." ”
Cheyenne accentuated: "Cheyendia doesn't want to be your enemy, I insist that this matter is just a misunderstanding, and we can find a proper solution." But only if you can't publicly humiliate the holy warriors of Chaandia like this, I must take them away, if you can't accept my sincerity......"
He replied with an equally powerful threat: "Don't forget that I'm a legend, which means I have enough power to do whatever I want without having to kill or even hurt you." Since there has been no bloodshed, I believe that the Alliance of Order will not be the enemy of the whole of Cheandia for the sake of a few small mistakes committed by the Holy Warriors. ”
Li Qi smiled: "I understand, I understand......"
His tone suddenly became weak: "You are Cheyenne, reasonable Cheyenne, in the face of you, of course I will be calm and not afraid at all." ”
Without waiting for Cheyenne to respond, he continued: "Don't take it seriously if this is polite words, if you want to hear the truth, I will tell you......"
Li Qi's face was straight, and the pupils of his eyes flashed with thunder and white light, stabbing like an arc of electricity, and his voice was faintly roaring like thunder.
"I, Richie Preor, the spokesperson of the Crimson Lady! In Finn, I practice the belief that all are for me and I am for all, this is Finn's way of the highest good! Those who follow me are good! Those who oppose me are evil! What is the reason why a legend oppresses me? Between you and me, you are the one who should try to stay calm, Cheyenne Tylous!"
Divine power gushed out, impacting the streamers that covered the high platform. The sawdust on the streamer turned into dust, and in the bright sunlight, they were scattered one after another, like a misty crystal mist, and then disappeared in a moment.
The high platform was re-exposed to the gaze of tens of thousands of people, which made Cheyenne's expression become solemn, and the hearts of Nama and the others behind him also jumped. As for Gronia, Mayne and the others, they were even more suppressed by the aura of divine power diffused from Li Qi's body, and they felt numb physically and mentally, and they couldn't even move their tongues.
A slight breeze blew, and the feeling dissipated immediately, and the power contained in the breeze made Gronia and the others rush to be gentle and kind, but Li Qi's body was slightly tingling, but it was not strong, and he did not try to invade his body.
This is the legendary power that Cheyenne showed, and it was easy to dissolve Li Qi's divine power.
He nodded solemnly: "Behind you there is indeed a deity, you are not only the Pope, but also seem to have the breath of the elect. I was really rude and arrogant just now, please forgive me. ”
It is worthy of Cheyenne, who casually suppressed Li Qi's divine power, and Li Qi's remarks just now, which sounded completely rebellious to the Holy Warrior, were also regarded as a child's joke by him, and he completely ignored them.
But he didn't throw away the necessary courtesy, let alone do it directly. Even if it is a legend, he will not rush to become an enemy of the spokesperson of a new god, unless he is forced to do so.
Cheyenne continued, "I am not familiar with the teachings and beliefs of Lady Crimson, but I can feel that Lady's divine power is not evil. Therefore, there should be no irresolvable contradictions between us, which is very puzzling to me. All the actions of the holy warriors are practicing justice, even if there is a fault, it is a misunderstanding, why do you have to humiliate the holy warrior in this way?"
In the Crimson Shrine, Little Red Riding Hood slumped on the sofa on all fours, shouting repeatedly: "Qiu Xiang! Thrush! Come and help me rub my eyes! Ouch, my eyes were numb just now to make special effects for that guy, it's so tiring...... No, I'm tired of it, don't think I'll do it for him again! Then again, isn't the special effect of the thunder just now handsome?"
Little Red Riding Hood's nagging echoed faintly in Richie's heart, and his expression softened, but he was actually relieved.
The goal of the first stage was successfully achieved!
As expected, Cheyenne was a paladin with a mind and a knail. Relying on the threat of dragging Cheandia into the war, and the strength shown by Little Red Riding Hood's possession, this guy is not in a hurry, but tries to solve the problem with a mouth cannon.
If it was a holy warrior who was resolute and advocating strength, he would not be too lazy to beep and do it directly, he would really lose face when he acted this time. But if it's really such a holy warrior, why bother to go to the Divine Fall High Plains to build a paradise for holy warriors.
As for the mouth cannon......
For myself, whose political work skills are infinitely close to MAX, ho is afraid of ho!
"Just now it was to show the divine power of our Lord, and if there is anything offensive in your words, you are especially ...... Don't care. ”
I was in a good mood and almost spit out my truth.
Li Qi coughed and continued to say with a straight face: "This public trial meeting is also practicing justice! Crimes must be judged, and crimes must be reckoned!"
Xia An was stunned, and then smiled faintly, and Nama and the others sneered later. Gronya, who was trying to get herself on her feet, had the illusion of absurdity, as if this Li Qi was the righteous and awe-inspiring holy warrior.
It almost made her laugh out loud, who do you think you are?
"Think it's funny? want to say to me, who do you think you are?
Li Qi shook his head regretfully: "You holy warriors, you are really weasel cubs, one generation is not as good as the next." Do you need me to remind you what the Paladins are fighting for?"
Without waiting for the paladin to answer, Li Qi continued: "Paladin, fight for justice! Do you understand, justice is outside the paladia! What makes you have the illusion that you are justice?"
Even Cheyenne didn't answer the question, and the other paladins fell into silence.
Feeling that such silence was a failure, Nama said angrily: "Justice is the supreme good! Longer manifests justice with justice and law! The holy warrior believes in Longer and practices justice, and the holy warrior himself is of course righteous!"
Well said!," Gronia exclaimed secretly.
Li Qi smiled: "Longer is justice, the holy warrior believes in Longerde, so the holy warrior is equal to justice, this logic is really beautiful." ”
Then he sighed, "Then rond must still be in the kingdom of God, and the Holy Warrior Order who believes in him must be unbounded, and all of them must practice the same righteousness with one heart." The light of justice of Longrd shone on all of Finn, not just in the narrow corners of the Godfall Plateau. ”
This is probably the reason why Cheyenne and the others were silent, Nama said: "This, this is a temporary setback, it does not represent justice......"
Cheyenne coughed and took over the conversation: "Justice is absolute, pure, justice is beyond the individual, only the holy warrior can touch it, only the holy warrior can practice it." Therefore, the paladin is the spokesman of justice. The Paladins are not accused of vulgar morality, they are not bound by corrupt laws. ”
"Even the multiverse is nothing new......"
Li Qi expressed a feeling that even the holy warriors could not understand: "Is it absolute justice? That is, even if the world is destroyed, justice must be served?"
Cheyenne was stunned, then shook his head and said, "This is the sophistry of the relative holy warriors, we don't need to play this kind of meaningless word game." ”
"Well, then we have at least made one progress, and that is to understand what our differences are", Li Qi concluded, "Do you think that we have no right to judge the holy warriors, because the holy warriors are the embodiment of justice, not bound by morality and law, and even if he does what he does, he is practicing what you call absolute justice?"
"No ......"
Cheyenne carefully chose the wording: "Only a paladin who believes in absolute justice is the embodiment of justice, and he is not always and absolutely right." But whether he has deviated from justice, and even if he has deviated from justice, and what punishment he should receive, only the holy warrior is qualified to judge. ”
Li Qi laughed: "Because...... Only you know justice?"
Isn't that a matter of course?," Gronia exclaimed in her heart.
Li Qi continued: "I asked just now whether absolute justice means the kind of thing that must be upheld even if the world is destroyed, and you evaded the question. It seems that your theory of justice has not yet evolved to such a height, and it is too difficult to come to this point all at once, so let's change the question. ”
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if he were smiling: "A paladin is trying to save a group of victims, but she is dying of starvation, when she meets a mother who has just given birth to a dead baby. She got her mother's consent and ate the dead baby, so may I ask you, is her behavior just or evil?"
Although his tone was flat, his words were full of provocation: "This is a very simple question, and similar choices are everywhere in reality. Don't you holy warriors even dare to face such a choice?"
Cheyenne frowned, and the holy warriors of Nama behind him looked at each other, not because this question made them embarrassed, but subconsciously felt that this pit was very deep and most of them couldn't climb out.
"No one rushed to answer? ”
Li Qi pointed to Mayne, who was sitting next to the duck: "That bamboo pole leg, yes, it's you!
Mayne protested: "My legs are not bamboo poles!"
Then he said in a categorical tone: "Of course this is justice! Dead babies are not living people, so what's the problem of making some sacrifices in order to save more people? But why do you have to set up such a disgusting thing!"
Gronia finally shouted, "Well said!"
Almost at the same time, Nama exclaimed, "Mayne, what's wrong with you? How is your understanding of justice so fallacy? And you, Gronya! Cannibalism is evil!
The laughter rang out like a tidal wave, and it was only then that the paladins realized that the conversation on the high platform was clearly heard by the people below.
Nama hurriedly defended: "The two of them are not ...... of Shaandia"
"Alright, you guys stand down", Cheyenne waved her hand, not only making Nama unable to speak, but also following the others, wrapped in the gentle wind, down the high platform.
Cheyenne looked directly at Richie: "You are still a relativist sophistry, it doesn't mean anything to me." If you want to judge the paladins, you'll have to convince me with enough reasons. Don't use the nobles' territorial laws to assert your right to judge, that means I can follow the covenant between the First Age Paladins and the nobility, and only need to negotiate compensation with you, and you have no right to deal with the Paladins who misbehaved. ”
"Want me to convince you?"
Li Qi sarcastically said: "It seems that you don't believe in the so-called absolute justice." ”
"There is no end to God's will, and I never think I fully understand justice. Justice is the way to the highest good, but what is the highest good?"
Cheyenne was not moved by the sarcasm, and said leisurely: "In the beginning, the righteousness that the holy warriors believed in was very simple, defending the people, expelling evil spirits, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, punishing evil and promoting good, and that's it. But the world has not changed because the holy warriors practiced such justice, the era has changed, and the noble has decayed. Later, the holy warriors began to study the law and learned how to implement the law with a just heart and correct the law. ”
"The world has not changed, but the will of Longrd has been divided, and the paladin has been reduced to the margins of the world, and the way of the highest good is still ethereal. ”
"So I thought, either the paladins have lost themselves in all kinds of justice and become the vain of the relativists, or they have gone in the wrong direction and have not touched pure justice. ”
"I don't dare say I've touched it, but as I pursue it step by step, Ronder continues to favor me. When I stepped into the saga, I knew it was the right path. The Paladin must become one with righteousness, seeking justice in every little thing. When justice is as natural as the breath of a paladin, the paladin can speak for justice and take Finn step by step towards the path of the highest good. ”
These words seemed to be whispered in Richie's ear, and others could not hear them at all.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that this Cheyenne was also a ...... Idiot.
Wait, this doesn't match the impression described by the adventurer and the confession of the paladin.
He asked, "Then Uncle Cheyenne, how did the Holy Warrior, who is the least like a holy warrior in the eyes of others, become one with justice?"
Cheyenne smiled faintly: "When this matter is over, we can still get along amicably, let's discuss this issue again." Now, you'll have to convince me to accept something that's completely unacceptable to a paladin. ”
He took a deep breath, and a faint golden light stretched from under his feet, touching the feet of each of the interrogated paladins. The crackling sound continued, and the forbidden ropes on their bodies cracked.
These paladins were full of joy and were about to act, when the golden light turned into circles and confined them.
Cheyenne added, "I hope the reasons you can give are strong enough for me to discover more of the justice that I have neglected, otherwise, even if I am an enemy of your gods, I must protect my justice." ”
Looking at the cracked forbidden ropes, Li Qi said bitterly: "Each forbidden rope is worth six hundred gold bushels, you are destroying public property! If you don't pay compensation and pay the fine, and you don't want to go to prison to serve your sentence, we will want you in the entire Divine Fall Plateau!"
Cheyenne's cheeks twitched slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
