Chapter 154: The Temptation Game
"Huh?" Catherine asked, confused, "What do you mean?" Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Literally. Ciara pointed her finger at Catherine a few times and asked, "A sensible person who does everything for a reason, and a person who has no reason to blindly do certain things is either a madman or a fool, do you think that we, the leaders, no, think that most of the undead are like crazy people or like stupid people? If not, then think for us with your way of thinking, what is the reason why we will destroy the world of Yara?"
Silla's question made Catherine think for a long time, and the knight girl found that she never seemed to have considered this problem, due to the war of the undead a hundred years ago, the intelligent creatures of the entire Yara world took it for granted that the undead threatened the world and destroyed the world, even if they knew that the undead had a sanity, they were full of suspicion and hostility towards them, and all decisions were made for the undead who were about to devour the world, and even Catherine herself even counted Pannis, because of Lord Nelly, she had psychologically accepted and recognized the existence of the undead, and then hoped to fulfill Lord Nelly's last wish and help the undead integrate into the world of Yara, but in their hearts, still like everyone else, instinctively regards the undead as a hostile force, and may threaten the security of the world at any time. It wasn't until Sila asked this question that Catherine suddenly realized that she had really never considered the reasons of the undead, and couldn't help but be stunned because of this, not only her, but the knight girl could see that the moment she heard Silla's question, Pannis's shoulders trembled, and she was obviously touched by this question.
"The most likely reason is hatred. Even though she knew that she had fallen into a misunderstanding in her thinking because of her past impressions, the impact of this incident on the future was too great, and Catherine had to treat it with the most cautious attitude, and after thinking about it for a long time along with Cila's train of thought, she said slowly: " Maybe you didn't have this intention at first, but once the war broke out, everything would get out of control, the living and the dead, more and more soldiers on both sides would fall, and the hatred for each other would grow deeper and deeper, and the war would gradually move towards meaningless killing, and from that point on, the reason would have no such value, and there would be no need for one side to destroy the other. “
Sila didn't answer, just looked at Catherine with a frowning smile, unable to tell what she was thinking. Being stared at by the ghost on the other side, the knight girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she didn't even finish her words, she covered her forehead and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Well, I admit it, even I don't believe in this stupid reason. ”
"yes, that's an interesting reason, but it's not realistic. It wasn't until Catherine's momentum had waned that she smiled and whispered, "Hatred is hatred, and destroying the world is destroying the world, these are two unrelated things, and there is no reason to associate them." If a creature hates another creature, it may be possible for him to kill the other party, but if a creature hates a race, the possibility of him slaughtering the entire race of the other party is almost negligible, and as for a creature hating all the races in the world, it is impossible for him to do anything to all the races. Further, while the lower ranks and ordinary soldiers may kill and destroy another equally or even more powerful race out of pure hatred, the leaders and politicians at the top will never do so, and they will only make similar choices because of irresistible temptations of interest. ”
"In addition to profit, there is also faith. Catherine said, "Faith can also lead to similar choices. ”
"Faith, hehe, in our time, I don't think those leaders and politicians have such a thing. Ciara sneered, but seeing Catherine's determined look, she still said helplessly: "Okay, okay, maybe there is still faith." Now that we have all that out of the way, let's go back and see, what interests we can't resist in the world of Yara and the creatures that tempt us to kill all the creatures and destroy the world?"
"The temptation to go home. Catherine tried to find the answer for the other: "If the creatures have been preventing you from going home, you may not have done anything drastic. ”
"It was war, not destruction, at best. Sira shook her head and said sincerely, "Don't forget, it's our home, if it were you, would you destroy your hometown to a scorched earth because you want to go home?" See, you agreed, you won't, we certainly won't, that's stupid. In addition, I do not deny that each of us wants to go home to see, and I can tell you the real situation, and many of us even want to live in our hometown for a while, of course, if the conditions allow. So have you ever thought about it, why do we have this idea?"
"Curious?" Catherine asked tentatively.
"Well, there is actually no standard answer, and it is not wrong to say that I am curious, but I think in addition to curiosity about the past, it is more about the yearning for the living world. Sila's gaze seemed to penetrate the stone tavern and drift to the other end of the door of her hometown: "There is a blue sky, there is sunshine, there are colorful and bright plants, there are monsters and beasts everywhere, and there are living beings, countless living beings. We also want to try that kind of life, although there is no strong death energy there, we will be weak and tired, but if it is only for a short trip, there is no problem. However, this yearning just shows that we can't destroy the living beings and destroy that world, because doing so will only make the Yara world the same as it is now, and if there is such a result, then why do we have to go out?
"Uh......" Sira's words made the knight girl speechless, and the female ghost's sincere answer was very convincing, if the conscious undead don't like that world, there is no need to rush out and occupy there, if they like that world, they won't let the death energy fill the entire continent, and make the Yara world the same as the world of the dead, this is indeed an unsolvable paradox, according to this view, the undead have self-consciousness and start to think that they will destroy the world, this is not true at all.
"Bang", Pannis suddenly put the quilt back on the stone table, squinted his eyes and said, "This is almost the end of the game of mutual temptation, these are not the main problems, I just want to know one thing, if your master asks you to destroy that world, to destroy all living beings, what will you do?"
