Philosophy, a noun that gave Tarrant a headache, was equivalent to dry words such as spells and mechanisms, and he looked at Strapp, the book he had read several times, it only recorded Maxine's deeds, and he did not remember any discussion of philosophy.

Strapp tucked the book back into the shelf, "Everyone will have different choices for the same problem, and even under the same premise of justice, the outcome may be completely different." ”

"Different outcomes, all for justice?" Tarrant couldn't understand.

"For example, what would you do if a villain in a village asked you to kill the village chief, and if you didn't do so and kill all the other villagers?"

In extreme cases, Tarrant pondered for a moment, "I won't do it, this is obedience to sin, and justice will never allow it!"

"Very well, you are upright, but those villagers will have to die, maybe ten, maybe a hundred, maybe more", Strapp added calmly.

A hundred, bloody figures, if so...... Tarrant began to hesitate, he imagined moving his sword to the village chief's chest, the blood of an innocent man stained his sword, no, it was no different from a villain, "I wouldn't do that......"

"And you're going to watch more people die?"

"Is there no other way?"

"To kill, or not to kill. ”

"I ...... I don't know", Tarrant couldn't go on, it was a painful choice.

"Let's assume that this village is in the middle of nowhere, and no one will know what's going on here, what would you choose?"

"The location has nothing to do with my choice, and my sword will not be aimed at the innocent. ”

"That's right...... Hehe", Strapp smiled indifferently, "If you choose, those villagers will definitely die?"

Tarrant's eyes widened in astonishment, did he really make the right decision? Because of his persistence, more innocent people died! Perhaps...... Kill the village chief...... No...... He wants to protect everyone, not to dictate by numbers......

"This is the difference of justice, maybe someone will stand firm in their principles and calmly watch hundreds of villagers die, maybe someone will give up on themselves, turn their back on their faith, and save hundreds of people. ”

Tarrant's mind was in turmoil, reneging on his faith, saving him?Why, in this case, abandoning justice would have allowed more people to survive, he lowered his head in confusion, should he kill the village chief?"What should I choose?"

"This is not a choice between right and wrong, but a choice of different justice", Strapp looked at Tarrant's expression and said slowly: "No matter what the final result is, it will not affect your insistence on justice." ”

Even so, Tarrant still couldn't answer the fact that hundreds of lives, which is an inescapable fact, "So...... What would you do?"

"Hehe, if you add a hypothesis, you are the village chief, will your choice be clearer?"

Tarrant took a deep breath of cold air, "I will save those villagers", he doesn't need to think about it, exchanging himself for the survival of more people, death will be more valuable.

Strapp nodded in agreement, "You didn't hesitate when you were the target of sacrifice, and being willing to sacrifice for the majority is indeed a virtue that Maxine demands, going back to the question just now, will you kill the village chief?"

"I'm ......", Tarrant is once again in a difficult situation.

"Why is it so difficult for you to choose another person, and you are willing to sacrifice yourself, why are you not willing to sacrifice the village chief to save the other villagers?"

"But ......"

"But you're going to be a murderer, you're going to kill an innocent and kind person, you're going to be a criminal, right?"

Strapp's words shattered Tarrant's fragile heart, he nodded in embarrassment and admitted that his refusal to agree to the villain's request was due to his vanity as a knight, he could not accept his criminal behavior, and he chose to sacrifice hundreds of lives for his own glory, this choice exposed his selfish, cowardly, stupid side of himself, Tarrant lowered his head, "I made the wrong choice, right?"

Strapp patted Tarrant on the shoulder, "There's no right or wrong question, you changed your choice?"

"I should give up my status as a paladin and sacrifice mine and the village chief to keep the villagers safe. ”

A mage stopped at the door, and Strapp nodded at him, "Wait a minute," and turned to Tarrant again, "Paladin, sue me, what is the justice in your heart?"

"Justice ......", Tarrant never summed up the specific meaning of this word, all of them are under the premise of justice, but what is justice? it should be something that makes redstone better, and he bravely replied: "It is harmony and harmony, so that everyone can live better, and goodness and peace will last forever." ”

"Very well defined, then, is the village chief within the scope of this part of the people?"

“...... He...... Of course it is", Tarrant began to hesitate, doubting the decision he had just made.

"This book is about the choice of justice, paladin, you can read it again when you have time, it will help", Strapp squinted and chuckled, "People can't stick to virtue forever, blindness will only trap yourself, and when necessary, only by breaking the rules can you complete the legend and achieve your justice." ”

Tarrant studied earnestly, as if he had delved into a field that had never been set foot in, abstract but full of curiosity, its realization would change the world, a new "justice", and he vaguely felt that it was a higher, deeper and greater justice.

Strapp asked again, "Are you still bothered by the faults you mentioned?"

Tarrant was shocked, he gave up the halfling, so that he and Katrina survived, almost the same as this example, when he became part of the "village chief" he insisted on using the spirit of sacrifice to sway the decision, but ignored the lives of his teammates, going back to rescue the halfling is the knight's faith, and leaving is to sacrifice his honor to preserve the team, two choices...... It's all justice. He simply chose to sacrifice the majority to save the minority, and the result was a sacrifice of all...... Regardless of the outcome, he had done his best, and the halfling would forgive him, Tarrant cheered up, "I see. ”

"And when you forgive the wrongs of others, the Lord of Justice will forgive you for the wrongs you have made." ”

"That ......" the acknowledged faith welled up in Tarrant's chest, "Maxine will still protect me!"

"I think so. ”

"Great! Thank you for your advice," Tarrant bowed to him like a student, "I have learned a lot, and it is my mistake to blindly and strictly obey that makes me lose my rational judgment." ”

"A great paladin is not only about observing virtues, but also about learning dialectics. ”

Tarrant saluted again, "I'll remember", the mage just now greeted Strapp at the door, it seemed that something was wrong, Tarrant should go, "That...... I won't bother you anymore. ”

Strapp still smiled, squinting and nodding.

Tarrant's mood was as bright as the sun when he stepped out of the temple, he left the shadow and returned to the camp of justice, it felt like a new life, he recognized his limitations, he recognized the philosophy of justice, the sense of fulfillment raised his cognition, he smiled with satisfaction, and walked into the light of protection.

Ryan's office was closed, but there was a noise inside, Tarrant stopped at the door, he waited with curiosity, and there were some unbearable words coming from inside, a woman's voice, who could it be?

After about ten minutes, the door opened, and a woman walked out of the office, seductive, exposed, blue cloak dancing with the current, it was her, Tarrant recognized her immediately, and the Light of Shelter couldn't find a second person like her, Kira Viton.
