Chapter 17: The Righteousness of the Scales

It was a completely different shijie from the past, obviously it was still so dim and bright, but everything on the side of the road was as clear as after the rain was washed.

The green leaves, the red flowers, the houses on both sides of the road, and the rushing figures of pedestrians are all clear at a glance.

In the past, it was pitch black, as if it was possible to drill out of the alleys and corners of demons at any time, and it was as ordinary as daytime.

And the biggest difference from the past is the distance of vision.

Originally, I couldn't see three meters away, and I could only determine my position according to the position of each light set, but now I can see nearly 100 meters, and I can distinguish colors and shapes at night, and I can locate and find my way only by the signs on the side of the road.

"This is the shijie in the eyes of the night watchman, no wonder they are able to move freely at night."

The orange-red brilliance of his eyes gathered, and Jiang Shang was a little excited when he tried the Eagle Eye Technique for the first time.

But soon, a wave of dizziness hit, and he knew that his original stone, which had just been promoted, had once again exhausted his soul power.

With a wry smile, he untied the wine gourd behind his back, took a big sip, and the cold ice in his mouth turned into flames, burning in his body, and with it, the soul power that had been exhausted began to recover again.

But although the headache caused by the exhaustion of soul power was getting better, the strong alcohol made Jiang Shang feel even more dizzy.

"Hong Ling thinks well, if she keeps using it in her life, no matter what soul technique she has, she can quickly master it. But before that, I'm going to be an alcoholic. ”

Hongling's Divine Treasure. Monkey King Wine can allow the drinker to quickly recover his physical strength and soul power, but Jiang Shang's supernatural powers allow him to use other people's soul tools with the permission of the other party.

So, in order to give Jiang Shang more opportunities to use his soul skills, Hong Ling handed over the Monkey King Wine to Jiang Shang to help restore his physical strength and soul power.

The effect of the soul tool is aimed at a professional night watchman like Hong Ling, and the amount of alcohol produced is only enough for Hong Ling to use alone, but Jiang Shang's total soul power is not much, and after a sip, in a few minutes, Jiang Shang's soul power will be filled up again to the point of overflowing, and a wine gourd will not be used up at all.

In addition, the maintenance of the soul device, the soul power to make the drink is paid by Hong Ling, with the help of this soul device, Jiang Shang, who only has the second-level soul power, can repeatedly use the soul technique to exhaust the soul power, which is not only familiar with the soul technique, but also can improve the mastery of the soul power.

After the soul power is exhausted, it is also the process of ordinary cultivators to increase the total amount of soul power, and Jiang Shang has made the cycle of the day an hour by borrowing other people's soul tools, and he can feel the slow rise of the total amount of soul power.

This is undoubtedly a cheating that can only be done by the union of two star souls, and the only limit is probably that

"Hiccup! It's ghosted, and it seems that I can't drink it anymore. ”

After burping, Jiang Shang, who was shaking his head, had already begun to walk the curve, and he was still shallow in the amount of alcohol, and he already had the urge to fall asleep after less than three sips.

Shaking his head, he sobered up a little, and activated Hawkeye again, and the shijie in front of him lit up violently.

"Now that you're full of soul power, let's try that one again."

Stretch out your hand, gather the soul power in your palm, pour the concept of flame, and then

"Poof." A strange sound and black smoke rising from the palm of the palm were the only gains.

"Failed again, it seems, the road is still long."

According to Qi Lier, if he succeeds, he should be able to transform the soul power gathered in his palm into flames.

The dwarfing of himself and this Eagle Eye is good, and it is undoubtedly an unexpected joy to be able to master it quickly, but the transformation of Professor Qi Lier's soul power attribute is not so easy.

But in Zilier's eyes, this is a natural result.

I asked it myself and found out that even if it is all orange soul power, it is actually biased, I am orange-red, it is undoubtedly on the side of red soul power, and the part of yellow soul power is naturally worse.

And Catero's soul color is orange-yellow, and he is very good at converting the soul power he shoots into ice, but it will also be difficult to learn the red soul technique, which is known as the first in hand-to-hand combat.

But even so, the transformation of soul power attributes is still a soul skill that every night watchman must learn, and he is still haode, and the color spectrum is farther away from yellow purple, green, black and other hues, and it almost takes half a year to master this basic soul skill.

"Not everyone is a lighthouse that can cause direct damage to abandoned beasts, pure soul power is not enough, and even if it is a lighthouse, it will face an opponent who is not afraid of your soul light at all, when the time comes, do you plan to go up to hand-to-hand combat?"

"Moreover, the transformation into gold, wood, water, fire, and earth qi is only the lowest level of transformation, and the high-level night watchmen have their own special attribute transformations, and I am good at converting to the concept of 'slashing', and the doom itself is not also the high-level energy of Siluer's soul power transformation, but she relies on soul power martial arts to transform herself."

In the memory, Hong Ling also nodded affirmatively on the side, although she knew that what they said was the truth, but unfortunately, Jiang Shang's orange-red soul light was too reddish, even if he simulated Qi Lier's version of Eight or Nine Xuangong, he was never able to fully master this soul skill.

"It seems that it will take time to slowly polish it, I really can't drink it, I have hallucinations?"

No wonder he suspected that he was hallucinating, and he saw the Knights of the Scales who were helping to rebuild the city, and Alain and several other members in black uniforms were helping to clean and repair the damaged walls of the shop.

"What's going on? weishenme they didn't have a mask? ”

To Jiang Shang's surprise, the original illegal organization actually took off the mask to hide its identity and took to the streets to help the victims rebuild after the disaster.

Aren't they afraid of being pursued by the Security Bureau?

"Alain!"

Jiang Shang waved his hand, and the other party immediately ran over.

"Jiang Shang, how are you?"

Alain smiled happily, he was just really happy for his friend's recovery.

Seeing Alain's sincere smile, Jiang Shang was a little embarrassed, after all, he almost treated the other party as a traitor and doubted the other party.

But then, he asked the matter, and the Knights of Weishenme Balance would take off their masks.

So, Alain was extremely excited to tell him about the recent amazing changes in the Knights of the Scales.

It turned out that after executing Nauk as a traitor, Liu Min seized the opportunity to adjust the development strategy of the entire Knights.

This time, the betrayal of the deputy and the counterfeiting of the Dragon Gang almost led to the direct destruction of the Knights, which made her break out in a cold sweat.

But in hindsight, this is directly linked to the usual route of the Knights of the Scales.

If it weren't for the usual secretive nature, how could he be successfully disguised by just a few uniforms and almost become a wanted criminal.

If it weren't for relying only on the call of ideals and not having the slightest return to the members, how could Naruto, who had followed him for so many years, easily defect under the temptation of money and the oppression of reality.

If even the funds for the activities are raised by members, how can they grow and develop?

In a sense, she accepted Jiang Shang's opinion, but there was no way out of sabotage, at least, as the leader of the organization, she had to find a direction for herself and hundreds of companions to move forward.

And now is the most haode time.

The betrayal of Sluer, the supreme person in charge of the platinum will of Hemming City, dealt an unusually heavy blow to the racists of Hemming City.

After that night, Siluer directly handed over some of the organization's criminal information to the city management department, which led to the arrest of a large number of key members, and various bullying and criminal incidents surfaced, and racism was attacked and spurned in Hemming City.

And the Guard Bureau, due to Catello's betrayal, was not considered a good performance in the long night, and its prestige plummeted, and even, the constant members of the guard resigned to join the city defense army.

And at this time when everything was in ruins, the destruction of the enemy gave the Knights of the Balances a chance.

Then to protect the good reputation of the dock area, and then to the support of Shiraishi and the bullied, if it can become a neutral organization with the nature of non-governmental mutual assistance, it will naturally go to the sun.

These days, Liu Min is also busy and crazy, she first directly registered the name of the Tianping War Regiment with the Night Watch Association, so that the Tianping Knights became an officially recognized mercenary organization.

There are many such small warbands in each city, but in general, they do not have a good reputation due to their strong mobility and lack of strength.

Although the combat power is seriously insufficient to go out, it is also an acceptable entrusted task just to help the citizens recover and rebuild, and to assist the city defense army in encircling and suppressing the remaining abandoned beasts.

The Tianping War Regiment, which was already extremely civilian, has gradually been able to be accepted by Haiming City, and the absorption of the idle Liliang in the dock area has made the War Group begin to have a certain combat power.

But Liu Min's Tianping War Group originated in Haiming City, when the platinum will was uprooted and there were no enemies in the city, perhaps, the abandoned beast that faced the public enemy of the human race would usher in more support for them.

At present, their strength now can only be used by the city defense army, accepting the employment of the chamber of commerce, and doing some simple tasks to serve ordinary citizens.

But undoubtedly, this is an effort to gradually move towards the sun.

People who wear masks are destined not to be trusted, so taking off the mask is naturally the first step.

When Alain said these things, his expression was very proud, and it seemed that he was also looking forward to a better future.

Looking at Alain's happy smile, Jiang Shang was also sincerely happy for them.

After the war, a new generation of new human leaders like Li Zhenjun also worked with Liu Min in the same trench, if he seized this opportunity to make up for the gap between the new human and the old human, maybe the atmosphere in Haiming City would be much better in the future.

Jiang Shang nodded, signaling Alan to continue to be busy, originally, Jiang Shang guessed what Liu Min was talking to him about today, but now, Jiang Shang has confirmed.

The conversation that was originally scheduled for yesterday afternoon, because Jiang Shang was injured again, had no choice but to postpone, and at this time, Jiang Shang went to the late date.

The place of the date is still the pink cake shop that women love the most.

But this time, perhaps because he was drunk and courageous, or maybe he was used to the piercing eyes of the girls in the store, Jiang Shang Shi Ran walked in and sat opposite Liu Min, who was enjoying the pastry.

didn't seem to notice that Jiang Shang was coming, but Liu Min never looked up, still swallowing the cake in front of him.

Jiang Shang also sat down, did not make a sound, and waited patiently.

Half-loud, Liu Min squeezed out a sentence.

"I can't be your soul servant."

"I guessed it."

"I need Liliang."

"I don't plan to take back the Star Soul either."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, there are two brothers in one world, what is it for brothers to help each other."

Liu Min was shocked, but still didn't look up.

Thinking that only Liu Min said that the two were brothers, this was the first time Jiang Shang had said such a thing, Jiang Shang said calmly,

"You don't owe me anything, so please keep your head up and don't shed tears."

The girl raised her head slowly, tears were dripping on the table, the cream on the corner of her mouth was mixed with the tears that were constantly dripping silently, and her pretty face had been dyed into a flower face, which was obviously ridiculous, but Jiang Shang couldn't laugh.

is obviously a girl who still charges in the face of death, but now, in front of the most familiar people, she silently burst into tears.

"The roads are different and they are destined to go their separate ways, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."

-----------------

When did it start? The two discover the difference between each other, which is destined to lead to the fate of different regions.

Was it at the beginning, in the face of the bad bullying of the senior students, Liu Min chose to fight flesh and blood, while Jiang Shang chose to pass the school and the teacher?

Was it in the face of the bastards who hunted Baishi, Liu Min chose to summon Baishi and hunt those bastards in the corner, but Jiang Shang chose to blame the Baishi hunters by hunting the children of big businessmen, and urged the Security Bureau to solve it?

Was it in the face of the fact that the will of the platinum was getting bigger and bigger, the atmosphere in Haiming City was becoming more and more severe, the atmosphere between the strong and the weak was tense, and more and more Baishi were hunted miserably, Liu Min chose to establish the Knights of the Balance and become the hero of the weak himself, while Jiang Shang chose to become a member of the Ink Research Institute and change all this from the top?

Perhaps, from the time Liu Min's soul color was a bright red representing anger and flames, and Jiang Shang was an orange-red that seemed to be soft but was actually warmer, he was already destined.

In the past, even in the same environment, the two chose completely different.

Fortunately, the two have always been able to understand each other and support each other, but now, it is time for the two to make a choice again.

And this time, the two are destined to separate.

"There are still a few days, and when I finish my final exams, I should go to Penglai."

Jiang Shang's choice was to become a professional night watchman and establish his own Star Soul Knights.

He has already made adjustments to the future, completing the formation of the Knights within three years, winning the possible battle of the Star Soul, and then, perhaps, he will become a pioneer lord and have his own territory, or perhaps, he will choose to enter the Supreme Council and gradually realize his goals and ideals.

And Liu Min

"Ashan, do you know what I named the Knights Scales in the first place? They said that the concepts of judgment and justice are better. ”

"Of course, I know that the balance represents balance, and no matter which side it is, it is all equal."

"Yes, Abba always talks to me about things outside. In fact, a small city like ours, which is relatively peaceful, is actually considered haode. ”

"Human beings have always habitually drawn boundaries and then hostile to the existence of the other side of the boundary. Racial discrimination in the new era is much more serious than the discrimination against skin color in the old era. ”

"Not only is the new humanity hostile to the old human, but in some places, the persecution of the old humanity against the new humanity is even more severe. In some places where old humans lived, as long as someone's child had an abnormality, it was regarded as demonic possession and burned to death. And different races, each with its own living quarters, are hostile to each other and even hateful. ”

"This is true even within the middle of the new humanity. Not all new human evolutions are beneficial evolutions. In many places, mutations such as the Eyeless were seen as misevolutionary, and they were banished from the city and left to fend for themselves. ”

"When people don't treat themselves as human beings, no matter how heinous the evil deeds are, they can also possibly do such evil acts as robbery, rape and murder, not to mention such evil acts as cannibalism. In their eyes, humans who are different from themselves are just beasts that look alike."

And cults that worship evil gods are even more trumpeting the so-called concept of the elect and inciting contradictions among mankind. An organization like Platinum Will is already considered a good man and a woman among them. ”

"Of course, where there is darkness, there is naturally light. The organization against racists, the declaration of fairness and equality, is also throughout Shijie. Themis is one of the most famous. ”

"Lady Justice with a balance in her hand? No wonder you decided to form the Knights of the Scales. ”

"Yes, it was when I heard about them that I decided to protect myself with my hands. Their members include all colors and races, old and new, and he is active all over the world, fighting all races, oppression, and promoting the idea of equality and mutual assistance. ”

The girl's eyes with tears were full of longing and expectation.

"Is that what you're aiming for?"

"Yes, I want to change the fate of more people like us, and that's the goal of the Knights of the Balances. It's also my dream. ”

"So, you're going to hide your gem-level soul power?"

Jiang Shang's voice fell, Liu Min was stunned for a moment, and then nodded bitterly.

"Yes, I didn't expect that after the age of twelve, my soul power would increase rapidly, and I actually passed two levels in a row. And most of the Knights of the Balance are white stones without liliang, and I, as the leader, if I am a high-level soul power, I am afraid that I will lose everyone's trust. ”

When giving the star soul, through the soul resonance, Jiang Shang discovered that Liu Min was not only not a white stone, but was actually a leader of his age, a gem-level soul power who had reached the minimum standard of the night watch.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to activate the high-star soul technique in the middle of the battle, slashing and slashing all the way to keep up with the gem-level Si Luer and Jiang Shang, who had increased his amplification.

"And the white stone in your chest?"

"The fluorite that Abba bought from the outside can glow when it is poured into soul power, it's just a gadget."

Jiang Shang was a little crying and laughing. "No wonder I couldn't beat you no matter what, it turns out that you cheated."

Immediately, the girl burst into tears and laughed, and shook her head proudly,

"I've never activated the soul power amplification, it's because you don't have strong beliefs."

Thinking that not long ago, the two couldn't see the direction of the future clearly, and they were still arguing with each other under the bridge, but now, they are completely different, and they can't help but sigh a little.

"So, what are you going to do next? First of all, is it to make a big balance battle group? ”

When it came to future planning, Liu Min nodded affirmatively

"A strong man without morality and ideals will only turn into a beast, but without the concept of justice supported by Liliang, he will be ignored by Shijie."

"I think you're right now. If you want to change this state of abhoring each other, and want the weak and the strong to be on the same plane, first of all, you have to become the strong and have the right to speak. ”

"The first thing to do is to make the Balance Warband stronger. In this regard, you are going to xiexie again? ”

"Thank me?! I don't remember doing anything worthy of your gratitude. ”

"Komatsu's shipment, I've ordered it at half price. With them, we, the battle-hardened Shiraishi, are not afraid of any opponent. ”

In the old days, the social form would affect the development of science, but in turn, the progress of science would in turn affect the social form.

Jiang Shang's research goal is to let Baishi also have Liliang, so naturally he will eliminate the gap between the old and new humans and eliminate discrimination, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

"But it's not mature enough, just for use, it needs to consume a lot of capital."

"Money is not an issue. This incident has made many small and medium-sized businesses in Haiming City begin to demand reliable employment liliang, as long as we show enough liliang, we can get financial support. Moreover, we have our own way of fighting, and it is not necessary for ordinary enemies to activate the armor amplification at all. ”

"And the activity that night made many young people decide to join us, including not only a large number of white stones, but also new humans and gem-level soul powers."

"There is no problem with personnel and funds, plus the liliang given by your invention, the rest is expansion."

"Next, I will take this opportunity to clean up the bad shili in the dock area and education area. Incorporate the idle Liliang and further expand the Tianping War Regiment. While purifying the atmosphere of Haiming City and improving its reputation, we will first turn the Tianping War Group into the first battle group of Haiming City. ”

Jiang Shang shook his head, very unoptimistic

"The city defense army and the city government of Haiming will not watch you become big."

In the new era, due to the inconvenience of transportation (the travel between towns mainly relied on caravans organized by chambers of commerce, and ordinary travelers could only pay a fee to follow the caravans), a city was somewhat similar to the city-state of the past.

Although the city government recognizes its own superior government, it has its own independent rights in a considerable area.

The mayor and the city councillors, in a sense, are different from the kings of the past, they can't watch the birth of a super warband in their territory, if this liliang was strong enough to threaten their rule, then it must be in their hands.

"So, I agreed to Abba's request, and I will leave Haiming City tomorrow and go to the Dragon Continent for the transformation of the half-dependents. Today, too, I bid you farewell,"

Jiang Shang's calmness finally came to naught, his face was full of shock, he knew that Liu Min's parents were qualified and chose to become a half-dragon clan, and she had already had the conditions to transform into a half-dependent, half-dragon clan, but Liu Min, who had always been hostile to new humans, would actually choose to become a new human.

"Discrimination and prejudice such as race, color, origin, etc., are signs of human stupidity. There is only lowly discrimination and prejudice on the earth, and there is no lowly race, color, or origin. In the past, you were right. ”

"Now that I've jumped out, I've figured it out. It is not the new humans that I should be hostile to, but those who discriminate and even hate because of their differences. ”

"And for this goal, what is there to be surprised about becoming a being with Liliang. On the other hand, if I have a semi-clan status, I will easily move from town to town and implement the concept of the balance. ”

"Extraterritoriality......" squeezed out the word from between his teeth and from the past history, and Jiang Shang finally knew Liu Min's choice.

Although the half-dependents used to be human beings, after choosing to become the clans of the true gods, not only did the abandoned beasts in the wild dare not take the initiative to attack them, but the human government did not have much jurisdiction over them.

But perhaps because the number of people is really small and they are under the jurisdiction of the true gods, most of the half-dependents have no ambitions, or choose to enjoy sunny days in the Divine Dependency Continent, or choose to continue the convenience of going back and forth to do business.

Most semi-dependents are sensible and apolitical, but there are always a few exceptions to any ethnic group.

At this time, the local government and the city defense army are very difficult to deal with, they only dare to expel at most, but do not dare to arrest and kill, in comparison, Liu Min's choice is very understandable.

This is similar to a certain period of humiliating history, when the country and the nation were in danger, the alliance established by Sun Yat-sen and other Chinese in Japan in Japan made it impossible for the Qing Dynasty government to start.

"Well, I've figured it out, race or something, it doesn't really matter. Alain, they will not stay away from me because they have Liliang, they choose to follow me because I am willing to hold up a piece of the sky for the weak. ”

"And I myself have the identity of Liliang and half-dependents, I will not be knocked down, and I can put up this flag to protect the weak better. Since yesterday, the Knights of the Balance has not tested birth, but only faith. As long as you agree with the idea of the scales, the new humans are welcome, and in the past, I used to reject such guys. ”

"When our liliang grows to a certain extent, the spark can start a prairie fire, and if we don't do it, we can't change anything, but if we do something, maybe, we can also change something."

"So, I can't be your soul servant, and I also need the star soul liliang, which can be regarded as your unrighteous eldest sister owes you."

Liu Min stood up, bent down and bowed, this was the first time in her life that she bowed her head to others.

Jiang Shang also felt a lot, and vaguely, he seemed to see a completely different shijie, that ideal utopia that should only exist in the ideal, perhaps, will eventually come to reality.

Jiang Shang helped her up.

"Discrimination and hatred can easily be linked, but the expansion of goodwill and equality is like a snowball, at first, it is the rarest, and he may have to face not only gossip, but also all kinds of hostility and even strangulation."

"The path you have chosen is to fundamentally reverse this. It's much harder than me, a reformist. ”

"Please look up, you don't owe me. On the contrary, I am proud to be your brother. If I can be your liliang, it will be the honor of my life. ”

"Can you let me go to the duty of a military advisor again and listen to my advice?"

"Let's start with the small towns on the edge. The abandoned beasts around them are not strong, but they themselves lack interests and development space, and they cannot attract powerful warriors to settle in, and due to their remoteness, the internal contradictions are actually more serious. Most of the most appalling tragedies came from the small closed city. ”

"The transportation is inconvenient, the goods are barren, the bandits are rampant, there are fierce beasts outside, there are no development prospects, most of the people who have Liliang have chosen a safer and more comfortable big city."

"But remoteness does not mean that there is nothing, in the new era where the soul is liliang, there is only one person, there is a future."

"If you can establish your own liliang somewhere, protect the people affected by the disaster, and win the hearts and minds of the people, perhaps, gradually take control of the whole town, it is also possible."

"In your own territory, it is more liliang to speak, if you want to break the gap between races, then, try it in your own territory first. In the face of the invitation of the two thieves who were spurned, Sage Kong also used 'If you use me, I will be the Eastern Zhouhu' (if someone uses me, I will revive the Zhou Rites in the East!). ) to answer. ”

"In order to realize their ideal society, Confucius is willing to bow his head and serve the anti-thief, because the pure political concept and blueprint are too empty and meaningless, and there must be a realistic construction template to be truly convincing."

"If you can, I hope to be able to form an alliance with the Mohist school. After all, there are too many similarities and compatibles between your ideas. ”

"A spark can start a prairie fire, and if you have more towns and towns and more say in the regional councils, the better your life will be, and the more convincing and attractive your model of a racially egalitarian society will be. At that time, more places. will actively choose to imitate your system. ”

"Goodwill and morality are snowballing, and it may be difficult at first, but if more and more people see the beauty of utopia and choose to contribute to it, perhaps, utopia will eventually come."

"Although we have chosen different paths now, we continue to walk with the same goal as a starting point, and perhaps, we will coincide on the road again."

"I'm looking forward to that day. Perhaps, the day of reunion is not far away. ”
