Chapter 1: How Flowers Will Bloom (5)
Ji Duyu suddenly looked up in the direction where Xiao Baiyu and Stuart were fighting, and she sensed the Holy Dao aura of Xuanyuan Xia Yu's sword from that emotion. Despite this, she never thought that these phenomena were caused by Xiao Baiyu.
"Get out of the way, Headmaster Frederick. Xiao Baiyu spoke softly, "You should be very clear by now that there is no point in blocking me. ”
"It really doesn't make sense. Frederick shook his head with a wry smile, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, this guy who is suspected to be a "Ω" type is not many people in the entire Protoss who can deal with it, "But the reason why you are doing this is not just because of the 'cause' of your own 'Rage Sin'." ”
"Yes. But since you know what I did to Wei Wenke, you should know the reason. ”
"Is it because of your dead friend?"
"Yes, I have been thinking about a question during this time, and among the major questions raised by Plato, the descendants of God and the Celestial Descendants have been groping in the direction of the ideal state. This may also be the only dream that the so-called Protoss can touch, but is an absolutely just and absolutely peaceful world contrary to the essence of life?"
"What do you want to say?"
"The current decree of the Protoss may be biased, but we still follow the rules. I do not deny the necessity of these seemingly just laws and regulations that are used by a few people to restrain the majority, but it is just that we are a little conceited and stupid to look down on the nature of the world by pretending to be from a high place? Isn't this the most ridiculous arrogance?" Xiao Baiyu said, "Compared to this, isn't my trust in my own force a little insignificant by what you call conceit?"
"The Protoss has power, wouldn't it be a more terrifying thing to let this power overflow?"
"Then who gave you qualifications to make such a decree that 'the Archon's mistake caused the death of ordinary human beings to be ignored, and a student who killed the Archon was liable for the guilt of the entire Celestial Generation'. If it is only because of the strength of force, can I understand that my force is now above everything here, so I am free to exercise the laws I have made that seem reasonable?"
"We can't reach an absolutely ideal world yet, everything is flawed. ”
"So why do I have to be flawless? I can be one of the 'flaws'. Xiao Baiyu slowly walked towards Frederick, "The existence of the ideal country is still unknown, do we have to excuse ourselves on the way to realize it?"
"If it is realized, perhaps all injustices will be condemned, but in the process of realizing it, we need to measure it. An ordinary person has nothing to do with the realization of this dream, but Stuart is a very important individual in this process. Frederick said, "Just as an individual is a glass of water, an ideal is gold, and in a prosperous world, natural gold is more valuable, but now we can only choose a glass of water when we walk in the desert." ”
This reason is suspicious of favoritism. Besides, it is unknown whether the ideal country exists, and the word has a term called 'utopia' in Chinese, which has its own derogatory connotation, and is this kind of thing that we have been chasing?"
"So what can we pursue? Do we advocate the capitalist economy like the human beings now? Or do we strive for the ideological path of the sages Marx and Engels? The spiritual realm of our leaders has already transcended these categories, otherwise we would not be arrogant and arrogant to explore what ideal country and what meaning of life. Frederick said, "You say that we are self-proclaimed dominants, but if our force is not enough to conquer all life in our environment, what qualifications do we have to explore the nature of the world?
At this time, many people had gathered in the abandoned grassland, and when they saw Xiao Baiyu holding the Xuanyuan Xia Yu sword, they were a little stunned. To be able to outperform Vice Chancellor Byron in pure swordsmanship is nothing to praise at all. But now, the pressure from Xiao Baiyu was enough to make them solemn, and those strange eyes were even more shocking, as if the taboo that enveloped the entire hotel was used by this young man.
Even Principal Frederick was extremely heavy, and many people recognized the dying Atlas Archon Stuart, and then looked at the blood stains that were still dripping from the giant sword in Xiao Baiyu's hand, and couldn't help but have a hundred and twenty "impossible" in their hearts.
Xiao Baiyu did not agree with Frederick's point of view in his heart, as if it was "forced to do so" to explore the unknown mystery in the future, but he could not refute it. He couldn't help but think of what Huang Tiandao said: "In the history of life, every life that has ever bloomed is a monument!"
"If we don't pay attention to life itself, but talk about lofty ideals and a nihilistic future, is it a bit of a sacrifice to seek the end?" Xiao Baiyu fell into a short thought, he recalled the three years before the pilgrimage road, he lived like a most inconspicuous ordinary student, it was not a profound experience of life. However, as a god by nature, he seems to be unable to truly integrate into the human community, and falls into a certain loneliness. However, when he participated in the class ball game, it seemed that a light dispelled all the haze of the past, that period of time was not long, but it had extraordinary significance for him, not to mention the experience of meeting Xu Minhan later.
Life is so powerful and fragile that it is beyond people's imagination, so powerful that it can climb a mountain more than 7,000 meters above sea level that is difficult for clouded leopards and brown bears to survive for an obsession, but it is so weak that it can be easily taken away with a random bullet or rocket. However, Xu Minhan used his life to interpret his "ideal" to the extreme. Perhaps, the "ideal" that the Protoss is looking for needs to find the answer in life itself.
"I think I got the answer. Xiao Baiyu muttered softly, his indifferent eyes swept towards Frederick, a violent sound of breaking the air sounded, and in just an instant, Xuanyuan Xia Yu's sword appeared in front of Frederick.
Frederick subconsciously drew his sword to block, but was repulsed in just a moment. He couldn't help but think of the fact that Huang Tiandao unexpectedly attached some importance to this young man a few days ago, perhaps, that guy had noticed something at that time.
"If you get an answer, could you please leave now?"
Xiao Baiyu suddenly looked towards the source of the voice, and couldn't help but squint his eyes. It was a voice he was familiar with, from Kukulkan Byron. Only this time, he held in his hand a holy sword Durandar with a glittering silver light hanging from the relics of the Sage.
"You moved very fast, you just left on the special plane and rushed back immediately, it seems that you read the report of this pilgrimage road as soon as you got off the plane. ”
"You go, maybe you are very repulsed by the Academy, and the knowledge that the Academy can impart is not important to you at all, you can go and find your own answers. I will use this incident as an excuse to expel you from school, and of course, the door is open for you whenever you want to come to Plato's Academy. ”
"Oh, you're not interested in my way of seeking?" Xiao Baiyu didn't expect Byron to make such a big concession.
"We have only been groping and verifying all along, and even the descendants of the gods and the descendants of the heavens have never reached a consensus on this path, otherwise what happened to Maya would not have happened in the first place. I don't want to judge whether it's right or wrong, because that's too narrow, and I just want you to stop. ”
"What if I insist on taking the life of that consul?"
"Then we'll have to continue with yesterday's duel. But this is a real duel, I can't use Durandal to play with you, the duel will continue until one side dies in the ring, and my identity as a duel with you will also become the Grand Dictator of Atlas instead of the Vice Chancellor of Plato's Academy. Kill me, and you will take the life of that archon. ”
"......"
"Little white fish!" Xiao Baiyu, who was about to fight a duel, heard this rapid but abrupt Chinese voice in the crowd, and couldn't help but swallow the last word.
At this time, Xiao Baiyu noticed that there were already dozens of people gathered here, and Ji Duyu stood in the crowd a little dazed, but she still shouted out without hesitation at the moment when Xiao Baiyu was about to fight.
"Sword, give it back to me!" Xiao Baiyu's expression when he borrowed this sword from her yesterday was very similar to his loneliness at the beginning, and she seemed to see the shadow of that boy. And at this moment, Xiao Baiyu, who seemed to be possessed by the gods, even in the face of the "dictator" of the heavenly generation, made her feel extremely strange, but there was an obsession in her heart that seemed to urge her to stop the boy.
Kukulkan Byron, this name is enough to be compared to any "great man" in the history of the Protoss, and his confidence and pride can be seen just by using the Quetzalcoatl God "Kukulkan" as his own name. And with the use of Durandal, his combat effectiveness cannot be measured by common sense at all, because the events that accompanied him to fame are enough to be described as shocking.
"Now?"
"Yes!"
"Well, after all, I asked you to borrow it, but I'm sorry I broke the wrap. Xiao Baiyu smiled and handed the sword to Ji Duyu.
"Thank you," Xiao Baiyu's thanks didn't have time to make Ji Duyu breathe a sigh of relief, only to see this guy turn around and face Byron again, "Then let's continue, Byron!"
"You?!" Ji Duyu looked at Xiao Baiyu with wide eyes, shocked and angry in her heart. She kind of understood that Xiao Baiyu's real duel with Byron had nothing to do with whether he had the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword in his hand. Even if this guy becomes a "Protoss", his temper that recognizes a reason and dies still hasn't changed at all.
Byron's eyebrows were slightly raised, but his complexion did not change in the slightest, and his deep blue eyes looked at Xiao Baiyu quietly: "Even if you don't have a weapon, I will use Durandal." ”
"Hmm. Xiao Baiyu nodded, it seemed that he hadn't considered whether the other party would use that holy sword at all.
"I used to think that Xiao Yifan's character was bad enough, but now when I see you, I deeply understand an ancient saying of your nation - blue is better than blue. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. Xiao Baiyu smiled slightly.
"I don't mean to praise you in the slightest. Byron said, "I will not fight you in a duel, there are nearly thirty teachers of the academy in this hotel, and under this line of defense, you will not be able to take Stuart's life." ”
"Why?" Obviously, Xiao Baiyu asked the reason for refusing to duel.
"Before answering this question to you, I want to know an answer. Xiao Baiyu, what is your ideal?" Byron's cold voice resounded in this barren grassland, and everyone fell silent, as if they were all waiting for Xiao Baiyu's answer.
Xiao Baiyu stood alone on the desolate grass and looked at Byron quietly.
