February 1734 in the solar calendar, Portnas, the city of Belis

It's still cold in the city today. Lott walked through the bleak city and felt a feeling.

Without telling anyone, Lott came quietly from the Holy Capital alone. By this time, the purpose of his visit had been achieved, and the young man's eyes were now an empty room, and there were still traces of the inspection guards in front of the door.

Sure enough, she did it anyway. The boy clenched his hands and took a deep breath.

"You're here. A woman's voice came from not far behind him.

"Sayah, you've found me—" Lott was surprised, he hadn't told anyone about his visit, and he was acting very stealthily to guard against her.

"I can't find you anywhere in the Holy Capital, guess you came here, and sure enough, I didn't completely lie to you. "At this time the nightingale was sitting on a tree by the side of the road.

"Did you do this?" said Lot, pulling out the greatsword behind him.

"Yes, that night, I magically sealed the door and cut off the man's head. Saiya didn't shy away from it, she rolled over and jumped down from the tree, "What?

"What if I say yes?" Lott said, raising his right arm and pointing the greatsword in his hand at Saiya.

"Yes, yes. The nightingale smiled on her face, "There is a debtor, come on~" She flipped her hand, and the dagger appeared.

Lot's face sank, and he heard a whoosh, and something flew towards Saiya in his left hand.

Hidden weapons are what thieves are good at, and Lotte makes this trick not a threat at all, Saiya caught it with two fingers, and she fixed her eyes on the "gold coin?" with a gold coin in her hand.

"Treat you as if I hired you. Lott put the sword back away, closing the pretense that had just been there.

"It's ridiculous, the person who wants to escape the crime is taking the blame here, I said that what I did was what I did, and I didn't do it for the goddess, but not for personal feelings. With a movement of two fingers, the gold coin in Saiya's hand was gone.

"Farmera asked you to kill these people?" Lott squinted at her.

"Nope. Saiya said as she flashed to Lot's side, "But you have fought against the dragon envoy and guarded the world, and this great responsibility to protect the world is what the goddess means." "It seems reasonable and quibble, and the words in the nightingale's mouth are confusing.

But Lott didn't think about the rights and wrongs of this, he frowned, turned back to the street, and Saiya quickly followed, "Don't you want to go back?"

Lott sighed, he shook his head, "There's something I don't understand. ”

"Why? If you don't understand, you won't go back? Calvin is still waiting for you. With only two words, Saiya forced Lotter's position to death.

"No, I just want to take a walk, by the way. As he spoke, the boy touched the mud wall of the house by the roadside, and with such a stroke he walked forward, leaving his hand dusty.

"Say, think about anything, I might be able to help you. Playing with the gold coins that Lot threw at her, Saiya seemed to be in a good mood.

"I've been thinking about this incident and the last time I did, why can we escape with peace of mind? Lott's brows furrowed at this time, "Because we are strong, can we do whatever we want?" Mrs. once said right, we should bear the responsibility of killing, but... Is it correct that you, me, and she are saying that, and in the end they are trying to get away with it?"

"Incorrect. Saiya suddenly grabbed Lott by the neck and pushed him into a hidden alley on the side of the road, "Are you crazy to say that kind of thing on the street?"

"Isn't there no one here?" said Lott, looking left and right.

"It's just that you don't see it, and you're so sure of the surroundings

No one?" Nightingale was always vigilant around, and the reason why she said this must have been something in mind, "It's okay to talk about it, but don't talk about it and put yourself in it." ”

"Maybe I'm relieved to get in. Lott looked indifferent.

"Looks like we're going to have to talk about it today. Saiya glanced upwards, then kicked her feet up to the roof. When Lott saw the nightingale's invitation, he rolled over as well.

"The first place we met was the rooftop. Lott looked at the place and fell into a little memory, the cold wind was especially fierce in this kind of place, and the boy was thinly dressed but seemed to be unaware.

"Don't talk this nonsense. Saiya didn't seem to be in the mood to talk to him at this time, "You just said, is it wrong for us to get away with it." ”

"I said it. The other party looked very serious, so the boy's expression became serious.

"Exoneration is, of course, wrong. Saiya was the first to conclude, "But there is one thing you have to figure out first, who you are and what position you are in. ”

"Me?" Lott was stunned.

"Free man, isn't that right?" said Saya as his identity.

"Hmm. The boy nodded, "Of course." ”

"But you still think of yourself as a member of this kingdom in your heart, don't you?" said the same theory, Modelella said it again.

"Yes. "Today's teenagers are much more mature than in the past, and they can admit it calmly.

"It's an accident that you become an adventurer, and then whether it's a change of teacher or encountering various accidents, you are the one who passively accepts, although you have the right to refuse on the surface, but in fact, you are still pushed forward by fate, and there is no way to stop. There may not be a third person who can say this except for Modella and Saiya, and Saiya knows Lott to the extent that he almost memorizes all his life history.

Faced with these words, Lott could only nod again, "You're right. ”

"So you feel lost when you change your position, and you feel that there is no need to be confused, and you are very conflicted, because you don't know which side you should be on to be righteous. "Saiya's words are so beautiful that it almost cuts Lot's heart open.

"Yes. Lott confessed again, and at this moment he found that the woman in front of him seemed to know him better than he did.

"Then let's say the answer, it's not just you choose any side, it's wrong where you stand, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong. Saiya said, patting his forehead, "Understand?"

With this beat, Lott instinctively raised his head, and with this tilt, he saw the sky, "To get away with it is a crime, to break the law, to confess to it is a dereliction of duty, to turn your back on the responsibility of protecting the world." Lott sneered, and Saiya's words simply analyzed his position clearly, "Then I shouldn't have come here." ”

"By the way, you shouldn't have done this for Rod in the first place. His heart is not lost at all, but you are entangled so much. Saiya's tone was a little reproachful.

After all, he regarded himself as a nobleman, nobles and commoners are different, even if he is conscious, the lives of commoners are not so important in his eyes, and he will not be discouraged. "Lott knows his friends too well, and Rod's mind hasn't changed over time, what it was ten years ago, still is.

"You should learn from him. Saiya coldly grabbed the young man's hand, "You are now an adventurer, a free man, civilians have nothing to do with you, they don't have to bear your responsibility, and you naturally don't have to follow their laws, isn't it easy to think about it?"

"It's easy," Lott saw Saiya's hand, "but that's..."

"There is no absolute justice, you have to choose a side that is beneficial to you. Just leave the rest to someone else's consideration. ”

"Mode

Lila is gone. Lott emphasized.

"She's not there, she's just transferring the tedious aftermath from the hands of the Adventurer's Guild to your own, there's no difference. "Saiya thinks clearly" Killing is a crime, but you are not guilty, it is not a crime to protect the world, but you have to die for it. You don't have to think about right or wrong, it's just the price, the price you pay for being an adventurer. ”

"If you're going to say that... Protecting the world?" Lott shook his head again, "I don't have that ability. ”

"I didn't let you protect the world alone. You're just one of them. "Saya let go of the hand she was holding, "Let's use an analogy, taking on the responsibility of protecting the world is like a death sentence, in fact, we are all prisoners who have already been sentenced to death, since we are all sentenced to death, why do we need to advance the sentence for some other things? ”

Lott's heart was tumbled by this metaphor of Saiya, which he had used before, and had only said to Mr. Calvin, whether it was a coincidence or an intentional "You... This is really unlucky. ”

"I know, but that's the truth, adventurers, guilds, sound superior, but when the dragon really comes, aren't those people who die? You say it's free people, don't you go to battle, but if the guild is really dead, do you think Modrella will still protect you? Civilians won't go to war. So, what's the matter with your little privileges?"

"If I can think so, then so can the soldiers of the kingdom. Lott spread his hands.

"Wrong, you forgot again, you no longer have a state, a soldier must be loyal to the country, and you don't need to. ”

"If everyone thinks so, wouldn't it make sense for adventurers to massacre civilians?"

"Yes and no. Saiya's tone at this time was very strange, "If the slaughter is to protect the world, then the slaughter, if it's just for himself, then he should die, I said at the beginning, your position should be to protect the world, if your goal has overshadowed this purpose, then there is no reason for all actions to be forgiven." Although Rod's murder this time has nothing to do with protecting the world, the plot is not as exaggerated as the massacre, and Jadrella is not there, so the standard is lowered, as long as you can hide it, you can naturally feel at ease. ”

"You mean that if one day you have to kill people in one city and one country in order to save the world, you will not hesitate?"

"Yes. As long as I have the ability to do it, and not fail, then I will not hesitate, the gods let us protect this world, and I can bear it no matter what the cost is. Saiya's eyes were very determined, and then she asked rhetorically, "What about you, Lot, will you indulge in so-called morality and watch this world be destroyed?"

Lott frowned when he heard the question, he didn't know how to answer, "I don't know." He said honestly, "It's said that it's the destruction of the world, but in fact, it's probably just humans who are destroyed, killing so many humans, in order to protect other humans... Is it worth it? I don't know. ”

"And what if I beg you?" Seya squeezed his hand again, the boy was confused, and Nightingale knew that she wished she could lead him out of it.

"This—" Lot's eyes fluttered, "if it's you...", the young man's face turned red uncontrollably.

"Shall we dance?" said something inexplicable, and she grabbed Lotter's two hands, "Do you remember how to dance?"

"Uhhhh

"It's okay, I'll teach you. Saiya put her hand to his lips.

On the deserted city, the boys and girls danced together again, and they had no accompaniment, only the cold wind whistling. As the movements became more proficient, the beat of the two became faster and faster, and everything seemed to be the same as last time, and everything seemed to be different from last time.
