Chapter VII: The So-Called Justice
Li Xiang looked at the angry girl in front of him with a strange expression, since he captured her, it was the first time that the girl in front of him showed such an expression.
"What's the matter?" asked Li Xiang.
"Why did you forbid me to return to the ground?
Li Xiang smiled and said, "Why should I explain it to you?"
"You!" the saint choked.
"Besides, I'm not a demon, you have to call me a great ancient god!"
"Ancient gods, Sharia has never recorded a god like you in the teachings, even if you are a god of the demon race, don't you feel ashamed to be so discredited?"
Li Xiang waved his hand: "You little girl, do you want to go back to the ground so much? Look out the window, isn't it as bright as day?"
The saint crossed her fingers one by one and said, "How is it the same, there is the light of the sun outside, there are green trees, there are joyful birds, there are clear rivers......"
"Gotta gotcha, don't talk about those useless ones, we are about to break out into war, and everyone above will have to withdraw, not just you, everyone can't go up at will. ”
The saint's gaze drooped, a reason she could not refute.
Li Xiang looked at Serena, whose expression was becoming more and more depressed, and his heart softened, after all, he had been 'handed' for so long, and said: "However, after staying underground for a long time, I will go up to breathe the wind in a while, if you want to go, I can take you up to have a look." ”
"Huh?" The holy woman heard Li Xiang call her name, her eyes were round, and she looked at Li Xiang blankly, this was the first time Li Xiang called her name.
"What's wrong?
"Oh. The holy woman came back to her senses, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course. ”
"Good!" the holy woman squinted at Li Xiang and smiled brightly.
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment.
"Then let's go up now. ”
On the ground, Li Xiang looked at the cheerful saintess, this was the first time the saint had smiled at him, even under the bath of holy light, she was mostly intoxicated, and she had never laughed. I haven't seen this kind of smile in many years, and the smile from the heart is very comforting. In the past, Vaschi also showed this kind of smile to himself every day, but unfortunately after experiencing something, he had never seen a smile on Vasqi's face.
"Why did you come back?" asked Li Xiang as he looked at Selena, who was walking back slowly.
"That's what I usually do. Selena looked at Li Xiang, hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to say, "You said you were going to start a war before?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Can you stop fighting?"
Li Xiang looked at her funny: "Why?"
"Because it is unjust to wage war. ”
"Just?!Is it unjust to start a war?What about you!The self-proclaimed righteous church has launched an invasion war against the kingdom of Kulizani. ”
"It's not the same, they were evil, ...... decades ago"
"Don't tell me history, I'm not from here, I'm not interested in learning about historical stories, I just believe everything I see, what I see is that the demon city was breached by your army, the men were killed by you, the women were humiliated by you, even the children were spared, do you think you are righteous? What you have done is much more evil than them in my opinion! You have been fighting until their royal city, and you still continue to attack, obviously to make them extinct, otherwise they will not come up with that kind of secret technique. ”
"Mystic?"
"Yes, it's to find some females, use special methods to impregnate the envoys, and quickly give birth to cubs, which can quickly grow in and join the battle. Li Xiang glanced at Serena, who was covering her mouth in disbelief, and teased, "Maybe, you also killed them with your own hands." ”
Selena suddenly showed a sad look.
Li Xiang touched his chin and said, "In other words, Vasiqi suggested that I also use this method to deal with the current situation. ”
Selena looked at Li Xiang nervously and asked, "Did you agree?"
"Not really. ”
Selena breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiang continued: "Back to the topic, you said that the Kulizani Kingdom is evil, then the opposite is righteous, which can be understood as you. You are a saint on high, you believe in the Light, and the enemies of the Light you consider to be evil. But is that really the case? Is the light really clean? In my opinion, there are many places in your church that hide filth!"
"How can you say that!"
"Hmph, let's compare. ”
"Than what?"
"Compare the lives of these races in my hands with those of you who are under the rule of the Church. ”
Li Xiang stretched out a finger: "Are these captives' three meals a day richer than what you eat every day?"
"Yes. Selena nodded, and all the captives were served three meals of steamed buns, rice, and vegetables, and one of them was a broth, even though there were only one or two slices of meat in a bowl of soup, which was better than what the commoners of the kingdom ate.
Li Xiang stretched out his second finger: "Do these people have no other work to do every day except for their fixed labor?"
"Yes. "All captives have to work every day as long as they are healthy, but when they are done, they can rest. The commoners of the kingdom, on the other hand, were often required to do all kinds of work by the nobles above, and were not paid.
Li Xiang stretched out his third finger: "Will everyone here get the same treatment when they are sick?"
"Yes ......" Even in the capitals of various countries, not all civilians have the opportunity to receive treatment, and even in the church, there is a fee, and besides, the number of priests who can treat and the number of receptions per day are limited.
Li Xiang's three fingers pointed at Serena's forehead and said, "I also provide them with free places to live (cells) and various entertainment facilities (various card games), do you say that we are the embodiment of evil?"
"......" Selena bit her lip, the church's teachings made her unable to ideally say that he was evil, and it was these good deeds that made her feel that Li Xiang was not a heinous villain, and her attitude towards him gradually softened, from resolute resistance to trying to reform. Not only Li Xiang, but also his subordinates, even Vasqi, who had coerced him before, treated him very kindly. However, the strong saint didn't want to admit defeat just like that, she thought about it carefully and finally came up with one.
"None of these people are free. ”
"Freedom? They are captives, there is no freedom in the first place, what about the captives in your hands? Not to mention freedom, not even life. ”
"Ugh"
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Li Xiang waved her hand, after all, she said that she wanted to compare with their civilians, and quickly changed the topic before she could react.
"Let's talk about Naga. ”
