Chapter 19: The So-Called Justice

"But..... Now there is another primary question. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Arthas swept up and down and said suddenly.

"What?" Someone looked at himself suspiciously, and then it dawned on him. "Oh, you're saying these little injuries are out of the way."

In order to confirm his words, Zhou You moved his arms as if nothing happenedβ€”even though they were already drenched in blood and covered with all kinds of wounds, large and small.

Although it didn't take much effort to fight the two mini-bosses of Meat Hook and Blood Sharemer, there were still accidental injuries in various battles, and it was also necessary to add the injuries and fatigue accumulated in the sea of the undead....

- No matter how skilled he was in his previous life, Zhou You was just a slightly stronger human than an adult man at the moment, and his low attributes limited his ability and lowered his defense ability to the level of Pipi Shrimp......

But Zhou You's rightβ€”it's really a minor injury, and it's not in the way.

- Those who would find it in the way, because these injuries affect their ability to fight, died tragically in the infinite space many years ago, and their grave grass should be four or five meters tall before they are reborn.

It's a pity that looking at those superficially shocking wounds, the prince himself doesn't think so.

So just as Zhou You was about to say something, a cold bottle suddenly slammed into his mouth, accompanied by a lilac liquid with the smell of rotting leaves, which quickly refilled all his words back into his throat.

"Now the problem is solved." The prince asked again as he watched as more than a liter of potion slowly and resolutely poured into his staff's mouth. "Are you feeling better?"

"Ahem, ahem.. cough cough cough .... I don't think so.... Good point I don't know... Ahem... All I know... Ahem.. I'm about to be given by you. Choked to death..."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The hidden alleys were silent and silent, and beneath their feet, the gravel paved roads twisted and curved, as if spreading into the depths of darkness, and the incomparably thick walls on both sides blocked the spirits of the undead that spread throughout the city, and likewise, all the sounds of pain and unwillingness.

- Originally, this was supposed to be a small level, with raging flames and N undead wandering here, but due to the intervention of Zhou You, these original plots naturally disappeared invisibly.

So Zhou You and the prince are just walking together on this deep path now, feeling that the road seems to never end.

And the environment is too quiet to make people mistakenly think that they are actually walking on the road next to the River Styx, and the destination is the abyss that will sink forever.

"Travel...."As if to break this peculiar atmosphere, the prince opened his mouth. You... To the empty bottle... I've been fiddling around for nearly ten minutes and still haven't found any problems? ”

"Questions? Oh no, Your Highness, there is certainly nothing wrong with this bottle and the medicine in the bottle. Someone hurriedly put down what resembled a round-bottomed flask in his hand, and suddenly said through gritted teeth. I was just.... It's just a bit of heartache..."

"Heartache?" The inexplicable answer of his staff officer did not dispel the question in the prince's heart, but made him more and more confused. "For what?"

"For the damned Lord God, of course!" Zhou You didn't answer, just roared silently in his heart, he raised his hand, glanced at the attributes of the flask again, and then began to sigh for the twenty-third time since the alley.

Potion of Recovery

Consumables.

Blue / Finesse

Not tradable and cannot be used again

Effect: Continuously restores all of your health and mana for six minutes, and can effectively replenish the user's physical strength and energy, can only be used in non-combat, and will be immediately invalidated when attacked.

This agent is difficult to heal wounds and has little effect on internal injuries. And since it is produced by XXXXX (the handwriting here is blurred), there is a small chance of some unpredictable mutation after use....

-- This is the second life -- Pharmacist Putres.

"Traveling?" After not receiving an answer from his adviser for a long time, the young prince frowned and asked again.

"What? Oh, it hurts...", reluctantly withdrawing his gaze from the bottle - "I'm just... The people of the city regret it. ”

Zhou You, who was trying to make a point of it, sighed and threw the completely empty bottle out.

The transparent glass hit the hard stone wall with a "bang" sound.

"The people who diedβ€”" Arthas paused here abruptly, and then continued, as if to confirm himself. They just fell in... In the sacrifices that must be made for the sake of justice. ”

"What's more, I have tried my best to save and discern as you say."

What followed was a long, awkward silence.

"Your Highness." After a long time, Zhou You said slowly, in the darkness, his expression could not be seen. "You... What do you think is justice? ”

"Oh, interesting question." The prince shook his head, and suddenly laughed. "If you had asked me this question a month ago, I would have answered that humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, and the opposite of all evil are justice."

"But now...," Arthas Minehir, the sole heir of Lordaeron and the most gifted paladin of the Order of the Silver Hand, would spread fear all over the continent in the future, and as the Death Knight of all the undead, he muttered to himself with a wry smile like a confused child. But for now, I will tell you about the actions that can save the vast majority of people, the actions that save as many people as possible... will be justice. ”

"Even if... Some innocent lives will be sacrificed in the process..."

"So.... The massacre of Stratholme was also based on the same reason? Zhou You continued to ask. His voice was flat, and there was not a hint of doubt.

"That's right! Even if it's just for the whole northern part of Lordaeron, I have to... No, it is necessary to order, completely, completely eliminate these risk factors. ”

"Even if there will be a lot of manslaughter?" The staff officer turned sideways and let himself look squarely at the slightly dazed prince.

"Even if there will be a lot of manslaughter." The prince repeated the question again in an affirmative tone. "You know, it's too hard to distinguish between a healthy person and an infected person, and that, according to Uther's method, there will inevitably be a lot more fish that slip through the netβ€”"

"- To surround such a large city with a force of thousands of men.... It's just too difficult. And every time one more of these infected people escapes, one more tragic disaster will be created. ”

Arthas's countenance grew resolute, and he whispered one last time in a voice of self-affirmation.

"Uther, Father, Gianna and her teacher, and the entire population of Lordaeron did not realize what a terrible calamity this wasβ€”but I understood it very clearly." The young prince said firmly. "In order to save the majority, a small number of innocent people must be sacrificed....this is also a kind of justice."

――Are you a righteous messenger who killed his father first and then his mother?

Zhou You complained in his heart, but in the end, he didn't pronounce the words in his heart, but shrugged his shoulders in silence.

"Soβ€”" The prince stopped suddenly, the long road had come to an end, and before him was the last road to the great enemy. The whole of Stratholme must be purified, and in order for such a tragedy to be no longer produced..."

Prince Arthas Minethir gripped the hammer and let the dazzling light bloom on it.

"Marganis must die!"
