Three hundred and fifty-five Left and right, the eternal twin serpents
When Gwentoline appeared with the guards, the people of the Night Society immediately showed their weapons, and they looked ready to fight.
Dressy stopped in the middle and shouted, "It's the Duke who asked everyone to come over!
Gwen Tolin said calmly, "Even if you don't believe in your children of the dawn, you should trust your old woman." ”
Fan Si stopped Liuyin and the others, who were still very excited, and sighed, "Many people in the Dark Night Society, including me, have been taken care of by you. Of course we believe you. But our positions are different after all, and my mentor, the former president of the Dark Night Society, died at the hands of the Dawning Society. ”
"He did it so that he didn't implicate you in committing suicide, and he gave me a reason to convince the Dawn not to uproot you," Gwentoline said, "and now that you're going further than he is, I must stop you." ”
Van Si said coldly, "Don't force us to turn our target to the Dawning Society, this is our last chance to save Shadow City." ”
A few people behind Gwentorin, who were supposed to be the leaders of the Dawning Society, let out angry voices when they heard this.
"Don't be so arrogant! you're just rats in the gutter!"
"When will it be your turn to come to the rescue of the Shadow City?"
"This is our last chance for you!"
Not to be outdone, the people of the Night Club scolded back. Seeing that the atmosphere on both sides was tense again, another voice made the quarrel stop abruptly.
"This is the last chance for all of you. ”
Richie stepped out of the shadows, and Gwentoline, Vance, and Dressers breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Storm Islands are facing yet another storm of revolution, and if you can't work together, seize this opportunity to join the revolution and fight for your own liberation. When the storm is over and the big picture is settled, you will never have a chance again. ”
Li Qi's words made the Dawning Society and the others sneer, and Gwen Tolin shook his head and sighed: "Children of Dawn, although the civilians of Shadow City are not satisfied with the status quo, they will never make senseless sacrifices for your cause. ”
"I sensed you had a plan, but I didn't expect you to overthrow the entire Storm Islands. You urgently need all the power you can use right now. And the people of our Shadow City are too weak, and in your plan, it is probably just used to disrupt the line of sight and confuse the enemy. ”
"Just for this small purpose, let the hundreds of thousands of civilians in Shadow City sacrifice themselves like lighting firewood? ”
She said firmly, "No matter how the upper level of the Storm Islands changes, it is a matter for the mage, and it has nothing to do with Shadow City. The only reason I'm here is to prevent the Nights from joining the turmoil. ”
Van Si sneered: "So you are determined to be a dog leg for the magician? Then our war will start with the Dawn Society first!"
Richie had expected this, pointing at Vance: "You are a left-leaning activist ......"
Pointing at Gwen Tolin again: "You are a right-leaning capitulationist ......"
He said with emotion: "Left and right, no matter in which world, are indeed eternal propositions." ”
The two sides didn't understand the left and right, but the words blind movement and surrender were heard clearly. The former saintess snorted disdainfully, and the bandages on Vance's face were pulled a few times, obviously not expecting that Li Qi would also accuse him.
"Let's start with you", Li Qi looked at Gwentorin, "Let's clarify the basic position first, do you think that the civilians of Shadow City are born slaves of magicians, and it is wrong to resist the slavery of magicians?"
"How could that ......?"
Gwentoline categorically denied: "The people of Shadow City have the same blood as magicians, many magicians are also from Shadow City, we are not different races, and the current situation is not from ancient times to the present. ”
"I'm just against making unnecessary sacrifices, the power of Shadow City and mages is too far apart. We must be more patient and wiser in our struggle, and we must not continue to follow the old path of relying solely on violent resistance, for the tragic past of a thousand years ago has taught us enough lessons. ”
Li Qi nodded: "In other words, your Dawn Society is still persisting in the struggle, but the way of struggle is to compromise with the magician?"
One of the leaders sneered: "What can you do if you don't compromise?
Li Qi pursed the corners of his lips: "In my opinion, your compromise is about to change from a means of struggle to a position. There is only one step from right-leaning capitulationism to real capitulation. ”
Gwen Tolin frowned, "Your Excellency, have you forgotten what we talked about before, and why didn't we fight?"
Li Qi said disdainfully: "Get together and shout slogans, and then attack the city council that you control, and that's it? How different is it from the carnival? Even afraid that I will make some mess, and deliberately make a deal with me?"
"I haven't mentioned the slave thing, I'm still giving you a meeting at the dawn, is it time to turn to that topic?"
Gwen Tolin gritted her teeth, at this time, when she talked about the fact that Dawn would export slaves, what position did she have to talk about the struggle?
She paused and said with a wry smile: "We can't find any chance at all, in front of the magician, we have no power......"
Richie interrupted her: "Magicians are not monolithic!"
He pointed upwards, "Like now, the magicians are divided, even yours...... Even the Ted family and the Menesus family have broken up. ”
Gwen Toline still has the same "you don't know anything" stance: "Of course I do, but Ted and Menesus don't represent all families. You don't know a lot about being an outsider, the Storm Islands, and the Night Lady. ”
"It doesn't matter!"
Li Qi raised his voice: "As I said just now, if this is not an opportunity, there will be no chance in Shadow City! If you, and the Dawning Society, at such a moment, still resolutely stand on the side of the magicians and suppress the resistance of the people of Shadow City, your so-called struggle is the lie of transforming from right-leaning capitulationism to traitors!"
Finally, someone was dissatisfied with Richie's strange words: "What a right-leaning, make it clear!"
"Well, I'll try to keep it simple," said Richheart, adding that the Fayn man's brain was probably all invested in power, and his knowledge of political philosophy and the art of struggle was not much better than that of primitive people.
"The right way for us to do something is neither left nor right, that is, impartial. What is such a path? Our understanding and understanding of this matter is consistent with the actual situation. The theories that guide us in doing things...... Well, the big policy is in line with the reality and feasible. ”
"If our understanding of this matter has lagged behind reality, and the conditions are ripe, but we are stopped because of past experience or other factors, this is right-leaning. If there is any further regression, it is capitulationism. ”
Richie looked at the thoughtful Gwentolin: "The further development of right-leaning capitulationism is to use surrender as a means of struggle, and this is whitewashing and self-deception, and it has become a real capitulation faction and betrayed its own position." ”
"Such things abound in history, such as in the Dark Ages, when a country called the Dragon Kingdom was invaded by the neighboring Kingdom of Kiku. A leader of the Dragon Kingdom, he was also one of the heroes who overthrew the tyrannical rule as a teenager. He felt that the Dragon Kingdom was powerless to resist the invasion, so he surrendered to the Ju Kingdom and became a puppet. He defended himself by saying that this was the only way to save the lives of the majority of the people, and that he was doing a curve...... No, arc struggle. ”
Behind the outlandish terminology is a set of outlandish phrases that shocks everyone including Gwen Torin.
This statement includes things that each of them has had similar thoughts, but it is all piecemeal, unconnected, and unsystematic.
Now such a "right-leaning capitulationism" sums up their actions, and at the same time all kinds of doubts and uneasiness that they have pressed in the depths of their hearts, even Gwen Tolin has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and at the same time bitterness.
There was silence in the warehouse for a while, and someone muttered timidly: "What happened in the dark ages, no one knows, what dragon country and chrysanthemum country, what arc struggle, how does it sound like it is made up?"
Dressy said angrily: "The Crimson Lady is the resurgent goddess of love, as his spokesman, of course the Duke knows everything that happened in the Dark Ages!"
The man stopped talking, and a certain leader of the Dawning Society said angrily: "You actually say that our Dawning Society has become a traitor to Shadow City? You have no idea how much we have done and how much we have paid to protect Shadow City!"
The bald female demon warrior Liuyin exclaimed disdainfully, "Yes, you are desperately trying to suppress the accusations of the people of Shadow City against the barrier above their heads, and the questioning of the quality of air, food, and water. You have made the magicians happy to see that the people of Shadow City are all obedient meat dogs, and your contribution is really indelible. ”
"In order to fight against those of us who are resolutely fighting against the magicians, you do not eat well or sleep well, often stay up all night, fall ill, and live years less than others. Compared to the countless rebels who have been buried in the earth or thrown into the Undercity, the price you have paid is really high. ”
The other leader gritted his teeth and said, "What do you know!? You don't know how this barrier suppresses Shadow City, and you don't know the horror that a magician can reduce the population of Shadow City by half with a wave of his hand! Of course we are protecting Shadow City, and you idiots who have no brains on the blood, any move may bring destruction to Shadow City!"
Vance retorted, "It sounds like the mage has always wanted to destroy Shadow City, so you did everything you could to curry favor with the mage, and that's what saved everyone's lives?"
"I ......"
Even if this leader is thick-skinned, he is embarrassed to admit this credit, so he can only say vaguely: "Isn't it our credit that the people of Shadow City can live their lives now and have the opportunity to leave here?"
"It's not your work!"
Richie took over the topic: "Lady Gwentoline, you also said that nearly a thousand years ago, the Shadow City made a resolute and tragic resistance, and then there was a series of changes. Aren't these treatments paid for with the blood and lives of those who died?"
"As far as I know, every subsequent change in Shadow City has been related to the rebellion of the people of Shadow City. ”
"Magicians take commoners for granted, and only when a commoner stands up to resist will they be impressed. In order to maintain the dignity of the rulers, the rebels were invariably sentenced to death or thrown into the Undercity, but the mages had to make some changes in order to prevent similar rebellions from continuing to be staged. ”
As he spoke, he looked directly at the former saint, and the other gradually turned his gaze away: "Meek obedience does not arouse the kindness and pity of the slave owners, they only regard it as the ubiquitous air, and think that it is a normal and natural thing." Only resistance, at the cost of blood and lives, will cause them to fear, and then change out of fear, this is the struggle!"
Li Qi glanced at the other leaders again, and what he said made them speechless: "You Dawn Society think that you are persevering in the struggle, since you know this barrier so well, and know the situation of magicians, why haven't you found any opportunities in hundreds of years, united with any allies, and brought even the slightest good change to Shadow City?"
"Almost all of your energy is focused on suppressing the rebels of Shadow City, isn't this the same as the hero of the Dragon Kingdom I just mentioned, also doing arc struggle?"
The leader of the Dawn Society who came here should have been selected by Gwen Torin, and with a hint of self-consciousness as a person from Shadow City, they all turned their eyes away at this time, and some even lowered their heads.
"I've disrupted the situation in the Storm Isles, and now the Storm Isles have become a showdown between me, the Ted family, and Menessus", Li Qi threw his hole cards: "You are right, the power of Shadow City is too weak, and it is the role of beating the side drum in this revolution, I can completely ignore you, but my faith does not allow me to do this!"
"This has nothing to do with the identity of the Son of Dawn, but I see such an opportunity, as long as Shadow City dares to sacrifice, I can catch up with this revolutionary tide and liberate myself. ”
"Now, Lady Gwentorin, and all of you of the Dawning Society, are you still holding back and even holding back the rest of the Shadow City from fighting for their own liberation, or are you going to step forward and lead the struggle?"
Gwen Toline exchanged glances with the leaders, and she asked with difficulty, "We need to know more about the situation, and we need to talk to some people......
"You said you moved her", Hathaway's voice sounded in Richie's ears, a little nasal, I don't know what kind of mood she would be in.
Unconvinced, she said, "I was expecting you to open my eyes, but I just used a strange way to bring their thoughts to your rhythm." ”
Where is the strange saying, it is the crystallization of ideas that have been precipitated for thousands of years in another world. Don't think it sounds simple, but it's enough to guide future generations for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
"Someone will tell you the situation, and her words should be more credible than mine," Richie said. ”
As he expected, Gwentoline's face changed, and Hathaway was speaking to her.
"I didn't expect ......"
The former saintess cast an unusually complicated gaze on Li Qi's face, and even had a strange scrutiny, which made Li Qi's heart skip a beat.
"I'd like to hear about your plans and see what kind of opportunity you've brought," Gwen Torin's eyes lit up with joy as Gwen Toline said this, not only the leaders of the Dawning Society, but also the people of the Night Society.
If Dawn would be willing to make a move, the situation in Shadow City would be completely different.
Quicksilver was anxious and shouted, "What other plan, blow up the base of the control tower and destroy the control tower, and this barrier will be finished!"
Vance opened his mouth, as if trying to stop the Quicksilver, but stopped.
He hesitated for a moment, then explained the top-secret plan: "Yes, that's the plan. ”
"We have the means to blow up the base, and if His Excellency the Duke comes forward to call for it, the old woman ...... Uh, Granny Virgin, cover us again, stall for us time, and we have a great deal of certainty that we will do it. ”
