Chapter 172: Gateless Hell (12)

After a farce, the trio who met by semi-chance, Barrett, Igarashi Suke, and Williams Alphonse, walked together along the dirt road between the cottages towards the camp area south of Eden.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Williams. As she spoke, Barriet glanced at Igarashi at the same time, "Of course, thank you by the way." ”

"Hmph. Igarashi sneered, while Williams was much more human.

"No thanks, it's just a gesture. And those two people are playing with us after all...... How can I, a member of the aristocracy, be a nobleman, turn a blind eye to their evil deeds?"

"Mr. Williams has a strong sense of justice. ”

"Hahaha. Williams laughed embarrassedly, "To tell Miss Barrett, my dream is to become a police officer." ”

"Police?" Barrett, who is set in this game, naturally feels inexplicable.

"It's a profession. Seeing this, Williams immediately explained, "Guarding order and protecting the people should be the role of the garrison here." ”

"I see. As soon as she said this, it dawned on Barrett. "But, in that case, why should Mr. Williams be an adventurer?"

Hearing this, Williams couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. The actual reason is naturally because this is the game, and his dream is in reality. However, even if you tell Barriet about this, the other party will not understand.

Speaking of which, there is more than one way to play the game, not to mention that the degree of freedom and realism of this game is the highest in a game I have seen so far. So, why don't you become a police-like garrison officer yourself?

Williams pondered the possibility for a moment before shaking his head.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work. ”

"So, why not?" Barriet asked.

"Because, there is no order in this world at all. ”

"How is this possible!"

"Miss Barrett, I don't mean you N...... The rules that the common people habitually obey are the rules and laws that many people have made for themselves after a long discussion on the basis of morality. It is a social contract that people automatically sign and are regulated by from the day they are born. ”

As if she didn't understand, Barrett frowned.

"It's always uncomfortable to be bound by being born in. ”

"I don't deny this, you can't live your life as you want, anyone will be uncomfortable. However, if Miss Barrett really did whatever she wanted, a lot of things like that would have happened. ”

"How's that going to work?"

"Yes, it is unacceptable to make others uncomfortable in order to make yourself comfortable. Freedom is something that man seeks, but freedom is not absolute, and one's freedom must be premised on not harming others. However, reasoning alone sometimes does not stop those who act recklessly. ”

"What should I do then?"

"Give them punishment and hold them accountable for their actions that hurt others. It also serves as a warning to those who intend to indulge themselves so that they can restrain their behavior in time. But, Miss Barrett, what are we going to do to make people think that we are justified in punishing them, and what kind of punishment should we inflict?"

"Well...... Wouldn't it be nice to explain it to everyone and let everyone decide what punishment should be?"

"That's one of the essences of the law. And the other essence is to protect no one from being harmed by others. Miss Barrett, don't you think it's a great deal of justice?"

"Hmm. Barriet nodded, "My dad also said today that 'there are no rules, there is no circle', and that's probably it." If it's such a thing, it's okay to be bound by it when you're born. On the contrary, it should be said that it is a matter of good fortune. Is there really no such thing now?"

"Miss Barrett, are the rules something you civilians decide for y-do?"

"It's not. ”

"That doesn't exist. This is especially true among our nobles, which is why the kind of thing just now happened. ”

Referring to what had just happened, Barriet couldn't help but think of last night's commotion, and then a worried expression involuntarily appeared.

"Well, Mr. Williams, about those nobles in the north of the village...... Of course, I know that they are not all bad people, but the bad parts are so obvious that you can't think of a way? There are no guards in the village anymore, and it's a bit hard to rely on us alone. ”

"I understand Miss Barrett's concerns, and my eldest brother is discussing them. ”

The truth is as Williams said. In the chairman's tent of "Camelot", the presidents of the four major guilds, plus Li Mengxi, and their deputies have all arrived. Before convening the plenary meeting of the Raiders Alliance, they planned to discuss it themselves, after all, other guilds also needed time to react.

"Commander, there was another batch just now, and there are thirteen people in total. ”

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Duke Edlaide nodded and said, "It's hard work, you don't have to continue to monitor, go and rest." ”

"Yes. After answering in a loud voice, the young man withdrew from the tent.

"This brings their total to 154 people. Xiang Jing Binghua stated the facts in an indifferent tone.

"That's four more than us. Zhang Ji, who was standing behind Fu Qingshu, sneered.

"Four?" Then Fu Qingshu herself spoke, "This is just the beginning, according to the current situation of coming in batches every three or five times, there are more than four more than us." ”

"Damn!" Edman roared, "what do they want to do!

"We haven't started yet. I can't say it's robbing. Fu Qingshu glanced at the other party with disdain and corrected.

"You guy, do you have to say a word to the top!"

"If what you say isn't stupid, why should I speak!"

"You!" said Edman, looking like he was about to make a move. Seeing this, his deputy, Cole, immediately dissuaded him from the side.

"Calm down, calm down, Lord Edman, this is not the time for infighting. ”

"That's right. Richard said very seriously, "If you two don't have any ideas, at least give me a little pause!"

Just solved an incident and was about to devote himself to the strategy when another thing came immediately, and Richard's current mood can be said to be extremely bad.

"Instead of infighting, we still have to find a way to settle the current situation as soon as possible. Romania echoed and said, "Hasn't the frenzy caused by the resurrection item been suppressed by the Raiders Alliance?

"I guess I know why. At this moment, Nane Hinata made a voice that caught everyone's attention. After closing the conversation, she materialized a prop in front of everyone.

It is a newspaper of the "Hatsuba Morning Post", and judging by the date, it seems to be the latest issue that was issued not long ago.

And just when everyone felt this way, Romania was the first to see the abnormality.

"Not true. As she spoke, she took a few steps closer and pointed to the article in the upper left corner of the third edition that she had opened, "This paper is not the one I published this time!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes converged on the past, and the title of the article was "On Phoenix's Drop Items", which was really not the paper published in this issue of Lomaria.

"Hmm. "About four days ago, this newspaper began to circulate in the city, and the legend is that it is the original version of the Hatsuba Morning News, and the only difference between it and the official version is here. This article, titled Lomaria, basically means that 'Phoenix' will definitely drop resurrection items. ”

"Ridiculous!" Romaria snatched the newspaper and glanced at the article quickly, "It's just a superposition of speculation, there is no argument at all, how can I write something so unlevel!"

"However, the byline is yours, and that's enough. Li Mengxi said calmly.

"I see. Duke sighed, "Miss Romania's paper is quite authoritative to the player, and some people are using this to spread rumors. ”

"The reason why the Raiders Alliance can suppress people's desires to a certain extent is because the resurrection item is an uncertain event, and it is not wise to make a feud with a battle guild with a head and face for something that does not necessarily exist. But if you determine the event, it's a different story. Richard said with a gloomy face.

"What about the Hatsuba Morning News, did they just let it go?" asked Naine Hinata angrily.

"Mr. Thomson's email said they had been clarifying, but it was completely useless. ”

"Why! Everybody's an idiot!"

"Not an idiot. Li Mengxi responded to Luo Maria's questioning, "It's just that people are more willing to believe what they want to believe." ”

"Then I'll clarify it myself!"

"It's useless. Fu Qingshu shook her head and said, "You are a member of the four major guilds, and no matter what you say now, it will be considered 'there are no three hundred taels of silver here'." ”

"And the original words of the rumor are, 'The battle guild led by the four major guilds asked to take down this paper, and the newspaper will revise it.'" ”

After hearing Li Mengxi's words, Luo Maria was completely speechless, and could only grit her teeth silently.

"Hinata, is there anything you can do to curb this trend?" asked Richard with a sad face.

"Hmm...... I'll try to ask Cato Rhein and their influential life group players to jointly clarify, so that it will have some effect, but I don't know how big it is. ”

"That's it, please, Hinata. ”

"Hmm. ”

However, this is only a symptom but not a cure, and if you want to solve the situation fundamentally, you can only defeat Phoenix, as the so-called "a group of heroes compete for a deer, one person gets a deer and all the heroes stop", which means that you must start the strategy quickly.

It's not just Richard, it's everyone who thinks that way. It's just that there are too many things in the world that God does not fulfill people's wishes. The more you try to get things done as quickly as possible, the more likely you are to get into other trouble.
