Chapter 7: After the Victory
Attempts to save a few people with healing techniques have failed. All www.biquge.info enemies are dead.
"Well, it should be a magic curse, as long as that mage dies, everyone else will ......," Martin said, pointing to a tattoo on the corpse after examining it in detail.
"Won't you...... In that case, wouldn't it be easy to end the battle by attacking the mage and killing him?" "The other party can't have such a fatal loophole. ”
"It's simple, the curse is set so that once the mage dies, then everyone who can't stand dies, and those who can stand are fine. This will avoid a situation where the mage dies and everyone loses their combat effectiveness. Canian said. In the end, it was the old holy warrior, who was experienced and pointed out the problem to the point.
The trio then searched the body, and Martin found the located crystal. And ruined. At the same time, he also pulled out a spinning mushroom-like magic device, which, according to him, would prevent anyone from teleporting for three days.
"So many corpses," Martin looked at the corpses on the ground, "do you want to taste them?"
What? Eat these? Does it really reveal the true nature of evil people?
"I haven't eaten human flesh yet, and I want to try it. Martin continued.
Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be a repeat offender, the two continued to think. And intends to break away from Martin. This is not called crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Now that there is no danger, why hang out with such evil people again?
"Why, don't you get used to it? You've eaten beef and mutton or something, right? Martin turned his head and said. "Isn't that the same meat?"
"We don't eat the same kind, thank you for your kindness. Lyukrixia said.
"And what about the corpse of the jackal? it's not your own kind, is it?" Martin continued.
"Are you trying to confuse her and then lead her into a Black Guard or something? Tell you, generally speaking, we don't eat an intelligent creature that is organized and socialized, has its own language, and can correctly learn the intelligence of other creatures, especially humanoids. And we do eat cattle and sheep a lot, but they are all lower creatures who only have simple organizations and instinctive actions, and cannot learn the wisdom of other creatures correctly. Please don't say anything, if you have a high IQ, you can eat a low IQ, and it is reasonable for a dragon to eat people. I mean to tell you, living beings can be simply divided into two types, one is intelligent beings who have ideas and can express their thoughts and can understand beliefs, and the other is non-intelligent beings who have free will but do not have enough thinking ability. The two are not equal, and that's how we define it, please don't quibble. I don't want to talk about this kind of topic, but if you're interested, you can read the entry-level book "Sid's World". Complete. Also, please don't talk about the problem, it's very bad for Liukrisa, who has not yet established a complete worldview. ”
Martin was surprised to hear Canion, who had been silent, say so many words, and Canian gasped for breath, he felt that memorizing these was more tiring than fighting, yes, these were purely memorized by him, from a book called "Paladin Must Read".
Martin scratched his head and said, "Well, I really don't study much about philosophy, so ...... But I've seen "Sid's World". Well, hearing you say that, I wonder again, how do the paladins deal with the mentally retarded, a mentally retarded who acts on instinct and cannot properly learn the wisdom of other creatures. ”
Hearing this, Canian rolled his eyes as a paladin. "It's hard to tell what the law meant to the paladins...... I'm not a man of words. For the mentally handicapped, a paladin has a paladin view. To give you just one extreme example, in general, the Paladins agree with the idea that the legally brainless are not considered human. ”
"So I'll find a brainless kid to ask you to eat, will you eat it?"
"......" Canian continued to roll his eyes, and at this moment Lyukrisia also joined in the rolling.
Ignoring the white-eyed attack, Martin proceeded to ask, "What about psychosis?
"Well, you should know that the paladins are orderly, we are the holy warriors of the god of glory and eagles, Azus, and Azus is the mainstream faith of the Ellus Empire, and according to the laws of the Ellus Empire, the mentally ill will not be held criminally responsible, because he has no ability to control his actions. Canian succeeded in changing the concept and shifted the conversation to the law, after all, it was much easier to talk about the letter of the law than about the morality of the paladin.
"So good, so isn't it possible for a mentally ill person to do whatever he wants?"
"I'm not done yet, and the mentally ill are also not protected by the law, so you can treat him however you want. There are no rights that do not require obligations. If you want to be free from the law on the one hand, and protect by the law on the other, where is this kind of good thing? Unless you are a ruler. Therefore, in the Empire, generally speaking, the families of the mentally ill are hiding their illness, and when it is time to act in accordance with the law, it is better to deal with them as normal people, which is better than being lynched by others. But many of the mentally ill were abandoned and quickly ......," Canian added.
"I think it's a little unfair to say that......" Lyukrixia said. "The mentally ill are also a kind of patient, and they should be cared for and cared for more than ......"
"This is simple, I can understand, the material determines consciousness, and the economic base determines the superstructure. The mentally ill are treated in this way because of today's productivity. In some countries, those who commit the same crime are imprisoned, and in some less productive tribes, the death penalty is imposed on others. It's not that they're too cruel, it's because they're so unproductive that they can't build prisons like you do, feeding the inmates with precious food. The elves, who live well-to-do, even think about issues such as animal rights. Martin said. Although he claims to have been busy honing his skills and neglecting to study philosophy, he is a Starch Spencer Druid after all, and it is easy to recite some of the ideas of the sages. "In general, it is just to follow one's own nature and needs, without any existence that obeys the moral law, and naturally is not protected by any moral law, right?"
"That's about it, you have a point...... Canian said, and it occurred to him that he was too busy honing his strength to think about it...... Is this a pursuit of power...... While power-seekers are prone to becoming evil...... It's better than a guy who thinks like crazy...... "You say you're busy honing your strength, why is that?, do you have anything that you want to do with enough strength to achieve?"
"The strong can do what he wants, while the weak can only endure. Martin suddenly said this.
"Do you believe that?" Canion, as he asked Martin, and thought to himself: Oh no, this sentence is usually loved by the big devils. Bullying is one of the characteristics of evil people,
"It's not a question of believing or not believing...... I worked hard to hone myself and improve my strength, probably because I wanted to be able to have enough strength to control my own destiny...... It has something to do with a little bit of what I had as a teenager?"
......Cannian was heavily influenced by Freud and always liked to think in that direction. "But I would like to point out that the so-called free will ...... Spinoza...... Apple tree...... Oops, I don't remember what to say, but an apple tree can decide how much fruit it bears if it has the will, but it can't decide what fruit it bears......"
"What are you telling me about this?" Martin was puzzled.
"Because...... Heck, forget it, anyway, I just want to say that you don't have the power to control your own destiny. Stop talking about this gossip. You see how long we've been standing here, and if we stand like this, the corpses are going to stink, are you sure you still want to eat the corpses? If you don't, let's go. ”
Martin didn't eat after all, so the three of them set off on their way to Outpost Twenty-Seven. They had searched the pile of corpses, and Canian had taken some items that would help them understand the group. Martin, on the other hand, picked something valuable and lightweight. Some good quality shields and armor can only be dug in a pit nearby and buried, and kept for later. Even if there is a dimensional bag, it is impossible to carry things indefinitely. From the fact that some one-star weapons and other items of certain value were also buried in that pit, you can know how many things they have carried.
The high-grade weapons or armor on this continent have a generally accepted evaluation standard, and are ranked from one to five stars. One star is the worst, and five stars is the highest. But speaking of which, a one-star level weapon is already very valuable. In the past, even one-star equipment had to be crafted with the help of magic. Now, with the blacksmiths mastering their supernatural abilities, it is possible to create five-star weapons without the help of magic, but there are very few examples of high-quality weapons that can be made without relying on magic.
Martin didn't eat the dead people after all. Lyukrisia had asked him curiously if many of the Starch Spencer druids were eating people. Martin replied that fifty percent of the Start Spencer Druids had eaten people, but they were basically just trying it, because the Start Spencer Druids were all curious people. According to them, the taste of human flesh is not bad, but it is still far worse than snake meat. So the guy who eats people all the time is definitely a pervert. There have been only three people who have been eating people in the Starch Spencer Druids in history, and now there is none.
The three of them continued their trek in the jungle, but now they had less worry and more leisure. They began to taste the beauty of the forest.
