"I can understand your desire to get out of this city that is very unfriendly to the criminals, but you must understand that the place where I live is also full of all kinds of evil, more than Kempera, so don't jump to conclusions, think about it, you have plenty of time to think. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" said, Lu Li hugged the dark elf Lori, kissed the other party's forehead, and then pushed the car door and walked straight towards the temple.

Since it had been more than twenty days since he first appeared in the Elemental Heart, the location of the entrance to the rift had already changed, and he had to find someone who could use the astrolabe to help him reorient himself, and the Sages and Priests of the God of Knowledge were one of the best choices.

Passing through the towering steps and the stout stone pillars, Lu Li quickly entered the interior of the hall, and the first thing that caught his eye was naturally the huge statue of the god in the center.

Unlike most of the gods who are armed and armoured, the statue of the God of Knowledge does not have these, holding a parchment-bound book in his left hand and a quill in his right hand, showing the scope of his duties.

Underneath the pedestal of the idol, there is an aphorism: life is short, knowledge is eternal, and in the face of eternal knowledge, life is nothing but a fleeting meteor. Remember, in this temple, knowledge is more precious than human life!

"Interesting ......"

After reading this sentence, a strange smile appeared on Lu Li's face.

Although the content seems to be very reasonable, in fact, this god ignores one point, that is, civilization is the carrier of knowledge, and the carrier of civilization is intelligent life, and if there is no intelligent life, knowledge itself is just some information that is not needed, and there is no need for existence at all.

Of course, he would never say it, at least not in the temple dedicated to the god of knowledge.

Just as Lu Li was about to continue walking inside, he suddenly heard a noisy quarrel in an oval room on the left side of the hall.

Out of curiosity, he looked closer and saw two old men in their sixties and seventies, dressed in Greek robes, standing on the podium debating the subject of war and politics.

Pericles, the sage of the god of knowledge, presided over it himself, smiling in a chair not far away, and whenever he heard a new point of view, he immediately recorded it.

Behind him sat more than a hundred spectators, most of them aristocrats dressed in splendid costumes. After all, as the ruling class, they are most concerned about these two things.

"What is war? War is a process in which the strong eliminate the weak! It exists in the veins of all living things! Look at the animals in the forest, and it is often the one who is stronger and the one who can live longer. As for politics, it is nothing more than a product of the rise of later civilizations, and should be subordinated to war in essence. The old man wearing the red ribbon on the right waved his arms and loudly proclaimed his opinion.

However, the old man wearing the blue ribbon on the left obviously disagreed, and retorted excitedly: "Fart! The reason why we are superior to those beasts is that we have created civilization, and the cornerstone of civilization is politics, not war! If everyone is full of fighting, then who will farm the land, who will raise poultry and livestock, who will build houses, who will create poetry and art? Even you, an idiot, cannot stand on the podium and debate with me!"

Do you think that when we create civilization, we really discard the biological instincts that have lasted for thousands of years? I can tell you very clearly! No! War is what everyone desires the most! Politics is just a tool to serve it!"

"I said what's wrong with your fart! Admittedly, we still have the nature of killing, plundering, and greed! But we have also evolved order, law, and morality! These things are born from politics, so war should be part of politics!"

......

Listening to the two old men spraying each other passionately, Lu Li seemed to return to the carefree days of his college days all of a sudden.

At that time, in addition to playing games, his biggest hobby was to spend all day browsing forums and watching those with different views scolding each other.

But his hobby is not to join it, but to maintain a bystander mentality, looking for a part of the relatively rational point of view to interpret, I didn't expect that to this day, I can find a similar feeling in another world, which is really a bit emotional.

Just when Lu Li was a little distracted, the sage of Pericles found him standing at the door, and immediately stood up to stop the scholars who were about to roll up their sleeves and directly use their fists to distinguish the superior scholars, smiled and beckoned.

"Come, dear watchmen, please stand on the pulpit. It is my great pleasure to invite you to be a judge on the subject of today's debate. You know, more than a month ago, I tried to invite you to a monthly conference, and I believe that you from a foreign land will be able to give a lot of new ideas. Unfortunately, your whereabouts are always erratic, and we were unable to reach you. ”

"I'll be the judge?!" Lu Li asked, pointing to his nose with a surprised face.

Pericles the Sage nodded, "Yes, it's you!" Although I don't know what purpose you came to the temple of the Great God of Knowledge, I assure you that after being a judge, your wish will be fulfilled. ”

"Alas...... Okay......" Lu Li sighed helplessly and walked onto the podium with a wry smile.

Glancing at the panting old men on the left and right, and then at the aristocrats in the audience, he pondered for a moment, and then immediately said in an unhurried voice: "Before making a judgment, allow me to describe the definition of war, to be more precise in my hometown.

First of all, war is a continuation of politics, and it is also the highest form of expression of politics, and generally speaking, war will be used as a final means only when economic, diplomatic, cultural and other means are completely exhausted.

It would be extremely reckless and irresponsible to start a war without exhausting all of the above.

Secondly, war is a kind of violence between groups, and its inducements are many, including faction, race, class, ideology, etc., but generally speaking, there are two words that cannot be escaped, that is, interests.

Whether it is for towns, land, gold and silver, beautiful women, grain, poultry and livestock, water resources, minerals, etc., all of them are counted, and even if they are not originally carried out for these reasons, they will quickly turn into the plundering of wealth.

Finally, and most importantly, war is never about justice or evil, its essence is killing, destroying and destroying, and the closer the strength of the two sides of the war, the more serious the consequences will be, and even lead to its own collapse.

Having said all that, I'm sure you should already understand my judgment.

That's right, I'm more inclined to the blue ribbon-wearing scholar's point of view, because only when war is subordinated to politics will the whole world become stable, and people will not encounter some contradictions, like primitive tribes to solve problems by force, but can sit down and use communication and negotiation to resolve conflicts.

That's my opinion, thank you......"
