Chapter 22: Where Justice Lies

March, north, north. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoNeither the howling wind nor the flying snowflakes stopped Martin's group.

Finally, the blizzard cleared, much to Martin's relief.

High winds can quickly take away a person's body temperature. At the same temperature, a windy day is very different from a windless day. In strong winds, when the temperature is only minus 10 degrees Celsius, the perceived temperature can reach minus 30 degrees. This is known as the wind chill effect.

If it weren't for the fact that their horses are now adapted to the climate of the Northlands, coupled with Natasha's careful care and Martin's druid magic, they would have all collapsed long ago.

Now that the gloom has cleared and the sun is shining, even everyone's mood has become better.

However, this also brings another problem, walking in the snow for a long time is easy to suffer from snow blindness. That's caused by the snow reflecting sunlight too strongly. Since the snow reflects the moonlight and starlight at night, it is enough for people to read the words on the book. It makes sense that the sunlight can burn people's eyes when it reflects sunlight.

The traditional response of nomadic herders in the high mountains is to weave a grid of eye patches with horse's tails, allowing the eyes to see through the gaps. The indigenous people of the Northland, on the other hand, use seal skin as an eye patch, which can also filter out excessive light.

The last time he crossed the snowy region, Martin had made an eye patch. But in the days of the town where Sophia was captured alive and repaired, he made better equipment.

Martin pulled out a couple of glasses and handed them to everyone. The lenses are flat and do not interfere with seeing, and were originally made of light-transmitting shells, but are dyed black for the purpose of filtering. The effect will be a little better than the previous eye patch.

Natasha picked up her sunglasses and put them on, looked around, and then took off her sunglasses and looked at Martin.

"What's wrong?" asked Martin, "Is there anything wrong with wearing it?"

"No, it feels good to put it on. ”

"Do you think it doesn't look weird with it?" Martin laughed, after all, it was the girl's mind. At this time, you can still focus on this kind of thing.

"Not really. Natasha replied. "On the contrary, I think it should look good on it?"

"Nice?" Martin thought something strange.

"Yes, you take it off and I'll compare it...... It does look much more handsome after wearing it. Hey, who's going to have a mirror? Lend it to me! I'll see if I look good when I wear it!"

In later histories, Martin has had a string of resounding titles, but one in particular is striking: Martin, who was also the inventor of decorative sunglasses. Many people are choking on drinking and eating when they read this.

This one is too different from his other performances...... It's like a lion in a three-point swimsuit.

While he was talking and laughing, Martin's expression suddenly became solemn, and he motioned for everyone to be quiet immediately. Then he gazed worriedly at the sky.

Then he relaxed again. 、

A small black dot flew over, quickly growing in size, revealing its figure.

It was a man, wrapped in a thick fur coat, wearing a tall hat with a pointed crest and a brim, sitting on a broomstick.

Dressed in snow white, he exudes an otherworldly temperament, like a fairy in the ice and snow.

They are the white witches of the Northlands, and they are an important military force in the North Sea Kingdom. Although the mana is not high, even the flight altitude is not high. However, with air superiority, it played a huge role in the conquest for the North Sea forces. In addition to scouting like this, they can also use their bow and arrow to attack the enemy with their height advantage.

Seeing Martin and his party in the air, she rushed over and circled around them three times, while Martin waved at her in a friendly manner.

The white witch waved her hand as well, and then quickly left.

"We're basically relieved. This is already the sphere of influence of that fortress in the North Sea Country. ”

In this sparsely populated world, the wilderness is widespread. There are no well-defined borders, but many vague spheres of influence. In order to control this place, the North Sea Kingdom built a small fortress here. In addition to garrisoning troops, it was also responsible for hoarding military supplies and even commercial goods.

The commander of the stronghold and Triste are old friends. I owe Triste a lot of favors. As long as he took out Trist's token, Martin would be able to get help from the commander here.

In addition, as a place for Beihai to store troops, it will definitely not allow the armies of other countries to get close.

Unless the other side wants to provoke a war, there is no need to worry about being surrounded and intercepted by the enemy's army.

Although there are many examples of loving beauty and not being in love. But Martin felt that the nobleman was not that kind of person.

Moreover, even if the other party really thinks with the lower half of his body, then so many Beihai troops here are enough to protect them.

Although the North Sea Kingdom is remote and not prosperous enough. But the military is famous. Not only are the northerners famous for their bravery and good fighting, but the terrible things about the berserkers in their armies are known to the world. The North Sea Kingdom will also use Warcraft and alien races to make up for the shortcomings. Icewolf, Great White Bear, Frost Giant. These terrible beings are all part of the military power of the North Sea State. According to Martin's information, the fortress would be able to fight the enemy who was chasing them with only half the force.

As for the possibility that more enemies will come, it is not impossible.

But dispatching an army of 10,000 to compete for a beautiful woman has only happened once in history. Although Sophia is stunning, Martin doesn't think she's so pretty.

So relieved, Martin decided to slow down and head to the fortress at a reined pace.

In his spare time, Martin even has the heart to tell you about some of his own thinking and changes in mentality.

"Different peoples have different customs, and some people take things for granted, while others see them as great rebellions. However, this does not mean that we can assume that human nature should not be constrained by law and morality. For, in addition to contradictory customs, there are also universal ideas among human beings. ”

"That's altruism. The role of altruism in the emergence and development of human beings......"

"Great apes are creatures that are very close to humans, so many times we pay attention to their behavior as a mirror of humans. However, past studies have focused too much on chimpanzees. This ferocious creature has led many researchers to become pessimistic about human nature. ”

"Indeed, chimpanzees are violent and cruel. Kills peers in the group. But new research has found that bonobos, as a member of the ape, show warmth that is closer to that of humans. All of us should perhaps reconsider whether it is right to use chimpanzees as a mirror of humanity. ”

It is true that the group of bonobos is not as savage as the chimpanzees, but Martin is hiding part of the truth. That is, the bonobos are very lewd ~ lewd among the internal groups. They don't just engage in ordinary behavior. And it's not a problem to make any lilies. The greeting of two female bonobos after meeting may be to make lilies. Martin felt that this kind of topic was really inappropriate to say to the female paladin at this time, and there would be a suspicion of flirting or flirting with the girl. Still, he was interested in guessing what would happen if he did say it. According to her character, she will not have the vitality to raise a sword to chase and cut herself. Probably not, she's not the kind of person who is inexperienced......

"The more altruistic phenomena are found in apes, in a new experiment, we have succeeded in observing altruistic behavior in chimpanzees, their violent human relatives. And even among the apes, who are traditionally considered killers and will torture other animals for fun out of boredom, we observe the act of kindness: caring for and releasing a wounded bird. ”

"In addition to altruistic behavior, there is also the pursuit of fairness. This experiment was done by monkeys. The researchers trained the monkeys to do a job, and when they were done, they were rewarded with cucumbers. ”

Then, after the researchers had finished their routine with the monkeys, they presented one of the grapes that were more popular with them than cucumbers. And guess what?"

"They struck, and the monkeys who got the cucumbers threw them everywhere and refused to do that work again. Cucumbers are good, but when they see their peers getting better grapes, they start to protest because they feel they are being treated unfairly. ”

"If monkeys are like that, aren't we even more so?"

Martin looked at Sophia.

He speaks of these things for a reason. He spoke for Sophia's sake.

Because Sophia is still struggling with one thing, that is, whether it is wrong to attack someone else to take his slave free.

There has never been a movement of equality, freedom and fraternity in this world. In most people's minds, the existence of slaves is a very normal thing. It's like paying off a debt. People think that when they can't pay the money, it's normal for people to go to slaves to pay off their debts.

Of course, because kindness is universal. It is not uncommon for someone else to intervene when a slave is being abused by his master. But they only asked the master to lay down the whip, not to free the slave.

Only those who are at the forefront are aware of such a thing as equality, freedom and fraternity. Resolutely against slavery. They will even do things that kill slave owners and free slaves.

In doing so, it is actually challenging the core values of society at this time. This society was still influenced by the ideas of the aristocracy.

The aristocracy believed that personal property should be protected. Freeing a man's slave by force is as perverse as taking a landlord's property and distributing it to a peasant.

If those who act rashly, they will certainly not be condemned in their hearts for doing such a thing as forcibly emancipating slaves. On the contrary, it will be very self-satisfied.

But Sophia is different, she is a paladin. As a paladin, you can't just do things according to your preferences. The Paladins defended not only goodness, but also order.

And in many cases, goodness and order are in conflict with each other. And as a holy warrior who often crosses different countries, outstanding peoples and even races, he will also encounter different customs and even morals. Conflicts of ideas often arise.

For a seasoned paladin like Canion, it is natural to be able to strengthen his own ideas.

But Sophia didn't.

There's no denying that Sophia's swordsmanship is great. But she has always been unconfident in herself because of what happened to her in the past. As a result, there is a tendency to become entangled in beliefs.

That's why Martin explained it to her in such detail.

Indeed, we can see many different customs and morals. They are even in conflict with each other.

But on top of all this, there are universal values that apply even among apes.

For the pursuit of fairness, kindness exists.

So, when it comes to those tangled things, what to do is already obvious.

That's what Martin is now teaching Sophia. Be bold in your judgment and act in accordance with the righteousness of your heart. Although that may not be allowed by some people.

At the same time, it is also his own perception, what he believes in his own heart at this time.

Abandon the law of the jungle and decide on what it would be.

Now, he doesn't just kill a rich man and use his fortune to fill his wallet. If you don't see a tempting woman, you mop the field. It's not entirely because of Liukrisia's edification. It's Martin who has his own persistence.

As a Starch Spencer Druid, he had chosen his own path. A path that leaned more toward his masters than his cold companions.

The group continued on until they reached the gate of the fortress.

Someone was already waiting there.

When she saw who was guarding the door, Sophia's eyes shrank violently.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― huhu, I know it hasn't been updated for a long time, but there's no way. Another of my novels, The Leader of the Demon Kings of the Otherworld, is on the shelves. I need to focus on that one now.

But I'm not going to give up on this novel. After writing that book, I think my writing will improve, and I will write this novel even better.

But at the moment, the results of that novel are not good, I hope you will support it. Pay attention to the recommendations below. That's a through train, just click in.

By the way, my aquarium fish are getting better and better now, and the offspring bred by the previous Black Mary have grown up and are taken out of the hatchery box and swam in the vat. Now there are several peacock cubs in the hatching box, and they are just around the corner. The black-shelled shrimp also successfully bred a lot of small shrimp in the small tank, and they were lying on the water fairy. Foraging. Interestingly, my betta fish coexisted relatively peacefully with other ornamental fish in the tank, and it was not particularly fierce.

My new hobby seems to be good at the moment. Because fish farmers are not as glamorous and noble as some D&D enthusiasts, and they are not as glamorous as some people who like to talk about politics. Unlike some people who talk about cold weapons, they have an inexplicable sense of superiority in abusing their own country

In short, I'm annoyed with the many places I've been to before, and the many people I've seen in my previous hobbies. Fish farming, on the other hand, is even more beneficial.

I hope you will support my novels!
