Chapter 186: Sophist
"It seems that it is necessary for us to first solve the problem of the rejection of undead creatures by the living......"
I said to myself as I looked at Avena, who was looking pitifully at me with only a small head peeking out of her wings, and then turned her head to look at the three demented humans.
"It can't be!" As soon as Uncle Knight relented, he shouted.
"Please, can you please stop saying such uncreative things?" I shook my head and said, "If you say that it's impossible or something in the face of something you haven't seen before, if all human beings are like this, then there will be no hope for the entire world." β
"Yes...... But......" Uncle Knight stopped talking, but Victor in the back said tremblingly, "An undead creature actually uses holy light, and even ...... Hiding in the wings of the angels...... Lord Angel, you ......"
"This is my disciple." Alaya immediately smiled holy, then stroked the head of the little ghost who was trembling beside him with pity, and said, "It's also my sister......"
I noticed, Alayya's wings fluttered unnaturally, and I looked at the uncomfortable angle of Avena hiding beside Alaya and forcibly pulling the wings behind her...... After thinking about it, I suddenly felt that the angel sister's wings were probably cramping......
Unfortunately, the ghost maid, who was not very agile, obviously did not realize what angle she had twisted Alayya's wings, and instead dodged even harder......
Considering that I must not let the holy and noble appearance that I had always built for the angelic sister collapse, I had to pull out one of the dull maids before Alaya could cry, and then while carrying my own maid, I said to the three who were still in shock, "I think it would be better to tell you about our plan first. β
After listening to my idea of forming a "Salvation Army", Gianna had already known about it, so she did not show any surprise, while Victor and Anthony showed a hint of hesitation.
"It's a great plan to unite the intelligent creatures of all of Azeroth against the enemy," Victor said thoughtfully, "and we hope that more allies can be united, but even the undead creatures ......"
As for the paladin Anthony on the side, it was even more obvious: "I can't accept such a thing as being in the same camp with the undead!" β
Completely ignoring the feelings of Anvena next to her......
Feeling the ghost maid sitting next to me trembling slightly, I immediately soothed the other party's little hand that had no temperature at all, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, he's stupid X......"
And Alayya, who was sitting on the other side of me combing his feathers boringly, raised his head and said to Uncle Knight, "Is it because you feel inferior because you can't grasp the true divine power like my ghost sister?" β
Sharp! If it weren't for the fact that Alaya really got the situation wrong because of his big nerves, I would have thought that this guy did it on purpose!
Uncle Knight's face turned red all of a sudden, but he was speechless, not only because this was the truth: Anvena had indeed used the Holy Light skill as an undead just now that even Paladins could not necessarily master, but also because it was an angel who said this, a real divine spokesman, and Anthony did not dare to have any disrespect in the face of this girl who was almost the Holy Light itself......
"I understand the rejection of the undead by the living, but I still have to say, your prejudice is too serious!"
Anthony was obviously very thoughtful in the face of my somewhat harsh duties, but because of my status as a "divine messenger", he could only say aggrievedly: "Thank you for your teachings......"
Sure enough, the paladin, who is known for his uprightness, is unabashed in his lies, even if Little Bubble sneaks behind the sofa when he accidentally breaks something, he is a hundred times more clever than himβthis is really a subtle metaphor......
"I know that you are not convinced, it doesn't matter, now you can ignore the identities of me and Alayah, and tell me your own opinion."
Although the old Victor and the ice and snow smart Gianna next to him (you see, beauty is an advantage, and the same meaning has to be changed to two adjectives...... Anthony didn't hesitate to speak, which proves in a way that the paladin's bowels are basically unbending......
"Undead creatures are unclean and wicked! The doctrine I have received also points out that there is absolutely no co-existence between the Light and the dead! "It seems that Anthony is still a more radical paladin - in fact, since the undead disaster is raging, ninety-nine percent of the paladins in this world have become this somewhat extreme type, no way, the entire living world is almost swallowed by the undead natural disaster, as the natural opponent of the undead, the paladin naturally hates those "creatures" who can't breathe.
Well, I know that this knight uncle is his own person, and his remarks are also the consensus of the human beings in this world, but ...... This theory is really quite unpleasant.
However, I have no intention of reversing such an axiom that is almost universally accepted in the world anytime soon, and I just want this old-fashioned knight uncle to change his mind now.
"According to your theory, all undead creatures are evil and unclean?"
"So, my maid is an undead, but you think she's evil?"
"This ......" Anthony immediately got a little stuck, even if he was radical and tendoned, he knew that the ghost girl in front of him was a servant of the "divine messenger", in short, a divine servant, plus Alay, who was defending Anvena in every possible way, Anthony certainly did not dare to openly claim that the servant of the god was evil.
Truth be told, until now, Anthony is still puzzled and incredulous that the oracles and angels should be so partial to an undead creature.
Seeing Anthony's expression, I realized that although he didn't dare to openly claim that Avena was guilty, this old-fashioned guy must still insist in his heart that all undead creatures were guilty, including Avena.
"I want to know, what is the standard for judging whether others are guilty or not in the dogma you have accepted?" I suddenly changed my mind and brought up the Paladin's rules on "justice and adjudication."
Although I was choked at first, when it came to the most basic common sense of paladins, Anthony immediately became refreshed, and he sat upright and said: "Endangering others, turning one's back on friends, being unfaithful, unjust, greedy...... and so on, all of them are guilty. β
"That's a good point, so which of those commandments do you think Avena has violated? You have to name at least one, or you've broken one of the Paladin's commandments: framing the innocent. β
Anthony's face flushed all at once, apparently choked by the precepts of the paladins I mentioned.
The upright knight uncle looked embarrassed, racking his brains to find out what Anvina had done, but the precept "Do not frame the innocent" hung over his head from beginning to end, and after a few minutes, the knight uncle in front of us was already sweating.
Actually, I'm also suspected of cheating, because Anthony hadn't seen Avena before, and of course he couldn't say what happened to Avena, but since he had identified Avena as an evil undead from the beginning, as a paladin, he had to be able to accurately point out which fault Avena had committed, and in this respect, I didn't embarrass him.
"Obviously, you can't point it out, or rather, you are completely judging by the habitual thinking of 'the undead are evil', without considering whether this judgment is reasonable or not, now you think about it, when you judge that all the undead should be purified, do you really dare to swear in the name of the Holy Light that all the undead creatures in the entire Azeroth world have committed at least one crime of death?"
ββ¦β¦ No, I don't dare to assert that. Despite the difficult answer, Anthony replied so honestly.
That's why I admire paladins, these guys are old-fashioned and fanatical, but if you really take advantage of them, then they will take the initiative to admit their mistakes even if they are reluctant.
In fact, the point I mentioned is a fairly obvious thing, and anyone with a little sense can easily think of it, but the question is, the rejection of the undead by the living in this world is really to the point of immortality, in this case, not to mention that most people have deliberately ignored whether those unfortunate undead creatures are really all guilty, and more importantly, even if someone thinks of this, does he dare to bring it up in public?
It's like in the post-World War II Jewish survivor community, do you dare to raise your arms and shout Long live Hitler?
So when someone suddenly threw this question in front of Anthony so bluntly, this upright paladin uncle immediately became at a loss.
"To determine whether the other party is guilty, the premise is whether the other party has made a mistake, but why should the undead creature be excluded? Just because of a ridiculous habit, they are considered heretical? Becoming a sinner? β
"But the undead are ......" Anthony insisted on bringing up this rather sensitive subject, despite his embarrassment.
"I admit that the vast majority of the undead are the minions of the Scourge Legion, and they are the mortal enemies of all the living, but - are all the undead in the entire world realm the minions of the Scourge?"
Anthony was speechless when confronted by me, and even Victor and Gianna, who were listening next to me, looked embarrassed.
"I wonder what is the basis for you to treat the Forsaken as an evil camp? Is it because they are free from the Lich King's control, so you think they are evil? Is it okay to think that any undead creature who no longer obeys the Lich King's orders is guilty? In other words, the most important of the dogmas you accept is: Long live the Lich King!? β
If Lin Xue is here, I'm afraid I will immediately encounter the baptism of the most powerful rain of spit in the world...... This method of stealing concepts and confusing the public seems to have reached a certain level of arrogance......
"It's not like that!" Anthony shouted at me in such a horrible way, almost out of control, but he immediately realized his faux pas, and his expression of shame grew.
"Of course, I know that this is not your opinion, but to be honest, as a bystander who does not have your habitual thinking, we almost thought you were the Lich King's assistants when we saw the Forsaken freed from the Lich King's control being attacked by human paladins......"
The Lich King's assistant?! Anthony wakes up in horror and indiscriminately suppresses the undead who have been freed, isn't that exactly helping the Lich King clear out the traitors? Could it be that the so-called justice that he has always insisted on is so stupid?!
"So, although I understand your hatred, can I ask you to sober up a little bit and take a good look at whether the undead who were killed by you with a stick are really guilty......
