Chapter 22: "Darkness"

Kylde soon took his wife and his friends to start new negotiations with Molfi-Fili. This time, however, the focus was on "whether Roses's men should be tortured."

"I don't think it's a very good move." Yura objected to this in the first place, "Should we really do this? Will we be able to achieve our goals by doing so? ”

"I think that what is tortured from the consciousness of a living person is more credible than what has been tampered with." "And we have a way to deal with the lies they might tell." ”

"If you can guarantee authenticity, that's one way to do it." Reins looked at his finger and unexpectedly agreed with Kryder's statement, "Actually, I am more in favor of such an approach. But I can't do that - use high-level magic to dig into other people's brains? It's a bit of a rule breaker, and 'Fili' isn't magic in itself. ”

"But this way of relying purely on physical and basic magical elements of the aristocracy is something that belongs to the human race." "This does not violate the rules of the world, but only the moral dimension of human beings." And the people inside Roseos ...... Those are all vicious people, and even if something like lynching, which should have been kept secret, is leaked, it won't have much impact. ”

Reins snorted softly and clasped her hands together.

"Before the matter even started, you want to put the responsibility for the leak on our heads first?" She cupped her chin with her folded hands, "But it's normal, you yourself will definitely not be stupid enough to expose this kind of thing, the reputation of the Demon King Continent is bad enough here, unless you don't want to clear the reputation of the Demon King as you say, you won't smear us at the cost of reputation." ”

The mercenary's sneering speech made Kyild purse his lips after all, but his good self-control still kept him from saying anything. As for Roses, the mercenaries are on the same side as the nobles, and the biggest problem is on the side of Morfi - they themselves don't agree on the same page, which may be the disadvantage of multiple leaders.

"Do you think that's right?"

Jura looked pleading at her colleagues, unaware of Sanger Ryan, for whom torture, torture, and murder were his most frequent encounters. Nado and Iloh exchanged their gazes, discussing something in a whisper, and Huck thought almost symbolically for a few seconds before unsurprisingly approving their proposal.

Therefore, her eyes were on Hua Shao at the end.

"Can we really be assured that the information we get is true enough?" Hua Shao asked calmly, "You know, torture and other methods are never something that can be taken to the sun, and if we do this kind of thing, but we can't get a big enough return, it doesn't seem to be worth it." ”

"We have our own way of judging." Kylde replied indifferently, "But it's our secret. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I don't think it's possible to say it even if you are persecuted. Hua Shao said thoughtfully, "And this is not conducive to our next cooperation, we should give each other trust." Since you think you can get more than we can give, then I thought it would be a good idea. ”

Yura gasped visibly.

"But why?" She resisted, "Why would we do such a thing? That's something that Roses can do, not what we're supposed to doβ€”are we going to be like them? ”

"Yuraβ€”"

"Roseos is a filthy and evil organization." "If we do the same thing, doesn't that mean we're the first step to becoming them," she said firmly. I'm not saying that darkness is wrong, but it's not the same as that. ”

"Yura, you need to calm down and think again." Hua Shao said calmly, "We do these things for different purposes. We are here to save lives and save this continent. ”

"You can't put the past on Murphy." Huck bluntly said, "If you do, then you're the one who looks down on Murphy the most." ”

The conference room was filled with the thud of chairs being toppled to the floor, followed by a series of trotting footsteps, and finally a thud of the door slamming down.

"Lord Huck, what you're saying hurts so much."

Huck shrugged his shoulders and looked at Hua Shao innocently with condemnation.

"But somebody has to say that to her." He explained to Hua Shao, "You have a better relationship with her, and it's not appropriate for you to say it." Sanger is also not suitable, he is doing these jobs himself, and he will make Yura subconsciously excuse him alone, instead of having a new idea about it. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But you can be a little softer. Hua Shao said helplessly, "She's still a child." ”

"If I'm soft on her, I'm sure neither you nor Gale will be too happy."

Before anyone else could react, Huck quickly changed his face. Hua Shao smiled and withdrew his hand that he didn't know what he was doing under the table just now, and reopened the topic just now.

"Anyway, then things have a new direction." She concluded, "Mr. Nobil and Mr. Tap can do what you want, as long as you can get what we need." ”

"And I want you to change your statement a little." "No one can guarantee that your actions will always meet your expectations, and even if we follow your instructions to go to every ruin to destroy those magic arrays, we still won't get anything more. I will never promise you 'absolutely a satisfactory outcome', but I can swear that we will do our best for the common goal of each other." ”

Hua Shao looked at his expression, and Kyild looked back coldly and calmly.

"Yes, of course, it's me who wasn't rigorous enough." "I just want things to work out for the better, so I'm a little anxious," she said mildly. But I also want you to be aware of the important point that Jura is not speaking out of hurt or whatever. Now we are trying to make progress and stop Roses – to stop the 'evil' side, so we allow ourselves to do what belongs to 'evil', but we can't let ourselves get lost in it. ”

She paused slightly, then smiled awkwardly.

"I know, I'm probably a bit of a mess when I say this." "As a long-established and true 'family', you know a lot more about this than we do," she said lightly. ”

Kayld did not look at her with a sneer, but instead nodded politely to her, with an appropriate hint of friendly respect.

"I am so grateful that you have been able to take our safety into consideration as well as your companions, it is your kindness to us, and I will not be so ignorant to dismiss your wishes." He politely said, "Of course, we will definitely take what you say to heart." If it weren't for the fact that there were no other breakthroughs, we wouldn't have come up with such a solution – we all know that this is always the worst. ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Hua Shao stood up from his chair, which also represented the end of this meeting, "I will arrange the personnel who will assist you two in the future, and inform you." ”

After leaving the room, Kyalde knew he wasn't done yetβ€”at the very least, he needed to explain the day's contents to his wife, which were still a little too esoteric for Bianko. "Light" vs. "Darkness" is almost one of the most difficult topics to answer.

"Go wash your face." Back in the room, Kryd said to Bianko, "Clean up your brain, and then we'll talk about today's meeting." ”

The Kyild himself also needs a time to sort them out. Thinking about the meaning of other people's words has long become his instinct, and if he wants to take it apart and break it down step by step, it will become an unfamiliar link. And it's not that he can really explain the "dark" things to Bianko accurately and completely. In the education of the aristocracy, these contents subtly influenced their upbringing, and when they reached a certain age, they naturally understood many things.

When Bianko sat back down in front of him, Kyild found that he still couldn't find a suitable place to start, so he had no choice but to let Bianko start the conversation.

"Well, Biya." He coughed softly, "Now that I think about it, is there anything you can't understand?" ”

The black-haired girl tilted her head, her eyes wandering in thought for a few seconds, then focused her gaze back on Kyird's body.

"What Kai and Wokan are going to do, why did they react so much?" She asked suspiciously, "The people of Roses are bad people, why can't they do that?" ”

Kyild took a deep breath. This is the fundamental problem that Bianko lacks compared to others, and the common sense she lacks is far more than the common sense needed for life, and it also involves some deeper cognition.

"Because that's a hurt, Biya." He took Bianko's hand and explained to her slowly, "Hurt always goes both ways. You see, when I hold your hand, you feel warm, and so do I. If you hurt someone, whether they are a bad person or not, the act will leave a mark on your heart, and it may remain in ambush until one day it erupts and you become a bad person, or even someone like Roses. ”

This assumption made Bianco's eyes widen, and the girl gasped, quite intimidated by what he was talking about.

"So, Biya." He kneaded Bianko's palm slightly, "If you hurt someone for a compelling reason, you must remember that your heart has been left traces by this injury, and you must always remember that you have hurt others, and never despise the hurt." This will keep you on your toes and keep them in mind so that you don't get caught up in them. ”

Biankom nodded solemnly.
