In Cheyendia, wooden houses have been erected in the river valley outside the basin, and they have gathered into a small village and town. The gravel paved roads crisscross and look quite neat.

In the tall wooden house near the basin, Nama listened to her sister's indignant accusations, and at first her anger rose, and after a moment of silence, she let out a helpless sigh.

"Okay, I see, I'll talk about it with you in the evening. ”

Nama touched her sister's head lovingly: "Don't be angry, don't blame Duke Prell and the ore miners, we will always find a solution that everyone is satisfied with." ”

"I'm not to blame anyone", Nicole secretly touched the bracer wrapped in her sleeve, and was a little surprised: "How do I feel that my sister has changed a lot, I didn't say anything before that everyone was satisfied, and the solution is not something that the paladin needs to consider." ”

Nama smiled faintly: "You want to say that my sister has become a relativistic heretic?"

Nicole hugged her sister's arm and coquettishly said: "My sister is really going to become a heretic, I will accompany my sister to change! The kind of justice that makes me and my sister enemies is definitely not real justice!"

"You, be quiet, beware of being heard by others", Nama put her arms around her sister and whispered: "In the past, if you said such things, I would definitely educate you fiercely, I always feel that you deal with businessmen all day long, and your faith is always tempted by people's hearts and money, and you have not been able to stand firm." ”

"Now, the mentor has given me the task of building Xia Andia, and after less than two months of doing it, I deeply feel that my previous understanding of justice is indeed too superficial and one-sided. We don't even see clearly what the starting point is for the justice we insist on. ”

Nicole muttered, "Sound like sister, do you believe some of the four kinds of justice that Duke Prell said?"

"Not only do I believe it, but the Guru also believes it," Nama sighed, "but the Guru does not believe in justice but only the four that Prell said, he believes that there is a fifth kind of justice, which is pure justice and the true will of His Majesty Longerde." ”

Nicole was a little worried: "Is my sister going to follow my uncle to find the fifth justice?"

Nama shook her head: "Didn't the teacher say that everyone can see different reflections of justice in their hearts, so the path of pursuing justice belongs only to them." I can't follow the guru to find such justice, but to find it in what I'm doing. ”

"My sister will definitely be able to find it", Nicole continued to coquetry: "Wait until my sister finds it, then pull me along!"

Nama pinched her nose dotingly: "You, you know how to be lazy......"

When her sister left the hut and returned to Cheyendia, Nama came to the second-floor terrace, overlooking the village, and sighed faintly, "This is really troublesome......

She muttered, "There's more trouble inside." ”

At night, the chalet in the Cheyendia Center is lit up with a bright white light. This is a white light lamp bought from the Beta City Adventurer's Guild, as long as you cast a level 1 general magic spell, such as healing, you can make a lamp light for an hour, which is much less effort and more convenient than simply using divine light lighting.

Hundreds of people were crammed into the cabin, sitting in a large circle, and these people concentrated all the hero-level professionals in Cheyenne Diari, most of them paladins, but also some magicians, druids, and rangers.

This is the "Mentor Club" that has been running very well since the establishment of Xia Andia, and all the major policies and important matters related to Xia Andia are collectively decided by the Mentor Council.

In the past, most of the time, it was Cheyenne who put forward opinions, and everyone supplemented and improved, but Cheyenne was not there, and Nama, as the agent, did not have such authority.

"These people are thieves! They must all be arrested and severely punished!"

A person waved his arms, looking extremely excited, it was Banner who was still mining and practicing.

"Getting something for nothing is the greatest evil!, and it must be a conspiracy of the Duke of Prell, who is trying to make these professionals dig up all the veins and cut off the foundation of our Shaandia!"

Banner's attitude towards this matter is extremely resolute: "Organize people to patrol tomorrow, catch one and punish one severely!"

Some of the paladins echoed firmly, but most frowned and remained silent.

"Patrols are needed, but severe punishment won't solve the problem," Nama said, "and I think it's an opportunity to develop the Outer Zone of Cheyendia." ”

"We can issue authorization to adventurers, and the authorized adventurers can mine ore, and the excavated ores will be handed over to us in a certain percentage. This allows us to control the scale of mining and make a profit, while attracting more adventurers to settle outside of Cheyendia. ”

People nodded their heads, although everyone came to Xia Andia to pursue a free and peaceful life, but the series of turmoil in the Godfall Plateau before, especially the conflict between Beta City and the Holy Light Castle, made them realize that peace and freedom require strength to have.

Let more adventurers gather in the outer layer of Cheandia, and let Cheandia manage it, this is a force.

"Authorize, hand it over? That is, we holy warriors are going to recruit miners, collect mining taxes, and treat magic ore as a business?"

Banner said in a snarky tone, "Is this to turn our Cheyendia into the ore supplier of the Duke of Prel?" Nama, are you still going to ask for a baron or viscount title from the Duke of Prell, or even to pick up the family glory of your Count of Hetcor again?"

"Banner, your hatred of the nobility is clouding your heart again", Nama said coldly, "The task entrusted to me by the mentor is to make Xia Andia grow and develop, so that we can find pure justice in the process of construction, and through the contrast between the different ways of operation of Xia Andia and the Outer Districts. It can stand on its own and support everyone and everything, not just justice that can only be used for adjudication. ”

Banner said angrily, "Who knows if what you are doing now is endangering justice, luring the paladins down the wrong path, or giving birth to pure justice?"

"We've been in Cheyendia, and all we do every day is mining, but we still have ears, and we can hear the laughter of the lewd men and women in the outer area every night!

Banner made a very serious accusation against Nama: "What is the difference between the current outer zone and all the gray and depraved cities on the continent? We came to Cheandia to stay away from such evil, and you want to build a new evil lair at the gate of Cheandia?"

People's expressions became solemn, Cheyenne was gone, and the contradictions between the commoners led by Banner and the aristocratic faction led by Nama broke out again.

"So you're questioning your mentor's decision!?"

Nama also stood up and confronted each other: "The instructions of the mentor have been confirmed by everyone, that is, to make the outer area of Cheandia stronger, and let the paladins find justice in the process of management and development. As for these things that you are picky about, as long as there are people, there will be disputes between good and evil, even in the heavenly mountains, indulgence and extravagance are not prohibited, and on the whole it is good, and we should be tolerant. ”

"I didn't question my mentor's decision!"

Banner retorted, "But that doesn't mean tolerating your turning Chaandia into a mine of great nobles, or turning a blind eye to the solid crimes that are taking place!"

He said awe-inspiringly: "Although the Mentor has put you in charge of managing the Outer Zone, it does not mean that you have the privilege of trampling on justice and not being questioned!

Nama sneered: "You are still in the cultivation period, you can't take half a step out of Xia Andia!"

"I can't, others can!"

Banner glanced at the crowd, "Am I right?"

Several paladins stood up and nodded, "We have such a right!"

Nama gritted her teeth and said, "You want to maintain order, okay! Then from tomorrow, we will see if the outer zone will attract more adventurers to settle down or leave here when you impose the order you want on the adventurers in the outer zone." ”

"If it's the former, then it proves that you're right, if it's the latter, then you're wrong, do you dare to accept my argument?"

Banner froze, and the few paladins who stood up also frowned.

The old man dressed as a magician spoke: "Cheyenne said before she left that she hoped that when she returned, she would see a prosperous new settlement. That would be a new barrier for Cheyendia, a new testing ground, a new nest of justice. If you are not satisfied with Nama's management, you have to be convincing enough, and I don't think there is a problem with Nama's arguments. Banner wants to put order in the outer zone, and you can't let the goal of developing the outer zone go wrong. ”

This magician was a good friend of Cheyenne and was invited to settle in Cheyendia, where he solved many problems that were difficult for the clergy to solve, and was highly respected in Cheyenne Dia.

Even the paladins who echoed Banner had nothing to say.

Banner pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "I'll think about it again......"

It was late at night, and people left the hut and dispersed in groups of twos and threes.

In the cabin, Banner said to Nama, "You have embarked on a dangerous path, and I will not sit idly by." ”

"Banner, you don't agree with the mentor, do you?"

Nama shook her head and said regretfully, "I can see that you don't believe in pure justice. ”

"Justice should serve the good", Banner said firmly: "Justice should be upheld, and evil should be eliminated." ”

Nama sighed: "The justice you want is actually revenge, and the evil you want to eliminate is actually all the nobles, right?"

Banner's gaze on Nama became dark: "Isn't it?, whether it is a nobleman or a priest, every breath they take is poisoning the whole world, and every pore on their body is filled with blood and sweat squeezed from the poor. ”

Nama asked, "And then?"

Banner said in a natural tone: "Then, of course, the righteous saints will become kings, and all the nobles will be replaced by holy warriors of firm faith, who will keep an eye on everyone without relenting, guard against people being corrupted by evil, and punish every crime. ”

"If there really is a fifth kind of justice, it is such justice, so I don't understand why the Guru is still looking for it, it's a self-evident thing, just do it, just eliminate all evils, isn't it?"

Nama shook her head bitterly: "Banner, when we were together, I advised you to read more books, especially history. Evil cannot be eliminated, and kings and nobles will always be corrupted, but you will never listen, and you think that I dislike your identity. ”

"What the holy warriors should do is not to destroy the nobles, but to keep an eye on them, as you said, to enforce the law and amend the law. The Paladin should be the sworn enemy of the nobility, like the opposition between light and darkness, not to replace the nobility. ”

"When the holy warriors replace the nobility, don't they become nobles themselves? Aren't the ancestors of today's nobles all noble and holy, with firm beliefs, and heroes who are willing to sacrifice for the protection of the people?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Gronia what kind of justice they still hold onto, the Paladin nobles who are in the upper echelons of Elanis. ”

Banner's cheeks twitched a few times, and he let out a meaningful chuckle: "yes, I can't read, I'm uneducated, I'm just a country boy." So in your eyes, I've always been lowly, and that's why we broke up. ”

"Banner, until now you are still obsessed with your identity, and even attribute our breakup to this kind of thing", Nama's chest obviously rose and fell, and there were vague tears in her eyes: "It's you who always have low self-esteem, and always think that mud legs are lowly people!"

Banner was also excited: "Shut up! This is not what I think, this is the reality, the reality that your nobles have created from generation to generation!"

He didn't want to talk any further, and said coldly: "I said it, I won't let you drag Xia Andia into the abyss of corruption!"

Looking at Banner's distant figure, Nama let out a long sigh, wiped her tears, and looked firm again.

Another day of practice began, and in the mine, the clanging of hoes and pickaxes continued.

"Banner, there are too few people on our side", during the break, the companion wiped his sweat and said to Banner: "Cheyenne is not here, most people are confused by Nama, we have to find another way." ”

The other companion looked in a certain direction and whispered, "I think you should have a good talk with Otto, he is actually on our side, otherwise he would not have followed us to the Holy Light Castle." ”

"Yes, Otto has a good relationship with a lot of people, especially the druids and the Rangers, and if we convince him, we can get more support. ”

Banner shook his head: "Otto, you only know how to carve wood, and the crime is in front of you, just because he is a woman, a guy who can't even bear to spit in his mouth, can he still be counted on?"

He looked in the other direction, where the jingle was noticeably much slower.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand at his companion and went alone.

In the depths of the mine, Mayne cried and said, "Gronia, my hands have been ground into two layers of calluses, and my arms are as hard as iron, and I won't be able to marry if I dig any more, let me rest!"

Gronia waved her hoe and said, "Don't pretend, every day you run out to talk to Frodo with a few hoes, it's really a shame for us to be a holy warrior of Elanis!"

Mayne said in despair, "Didn't you come to mine to be a Paladin of Cheandia? Speaking of which, I really want to go back to Alanis, even if I am arrested as a traitor and apostate. ”

"For what? Just to get back to Elanis!"

Gronia whispered, "But not one or two people going back, but with a group of people, a large army!"

Mayne smiled bitterly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess......"

The words and the hoe stopped, and Banner appeared in front of them.

"Your Highness Gronia", Banner saluted very politely, and they had been together in the mine for more than half a month, and this was the first time he had come to talk to him.

"There are some things I've always been curious about," Banner asked, "Alanis was founded by the Paladin, so what kind of kingdom is it? How do Paladins govern the people? What does justice look like there?"

Mayne laughed, "Oh, actually, ......"

"Mayne!"

Gronia interrupted her, her head bowed, her eyes twinkling.

After a moment, she raised her head and said in a divine and solemn tone: "The holy warriors of Alanis are noble and holy, and have always adhered to justice, although the details are a little different from the holy knights of Xia Andia, but they have built Alanis into a heaven of justice on earth. ”

Mayne looked at her dumbfounded, as if she had met Gronia for the first time.

Banner frowned, visibly skeptical.

Tears fell from the corners of Gronya's eyes, and she said sadly, "That's why the Queen of the Blood Crown destroyed Alanis. ”
