Chapter 1105: The Definition of Strength
"Conquer and plunder everything by strength?" Cross said as he looked at Tenaya as if he had seen something disgusting in the past. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Does Lord Crossside disapprove of it? Do you think that we are all civilized people, that violence is just vulgar and barbaric behavior, and that disputes can be resolved by simply sitting down with each other and having a good talk?"
Turnaya chuckled softly, a polite tone that contained a sarcasm that only Crossside could hear.
The weak eat the power first, only those with strength can seize and conquer everything they like to do, and the weak without strength can only silently endure the fate of becoming plundered, this is the concept of the Black Dragon Clan! A cruel but undeniable concept, it can be said to be a well-known thing among many transcendents and transcendent forces.
Crossside knew exactly what Turna was alluding to, but in the end, it was just an allusion, and Turna had no intention of revealing herself.
If so, Clossard doesn't mind arguing with Tenaya: "I'm not the naïve fantasist who thinks that the world can be changed with so-called love and justice, on the contrary, I'm a more practical realist than anyone else, and the world is indeed power-supreme now." For example, if you don't have money, power, or power in a free city, you don't deserve to be called 'freedom'. ”
"Then Sir Crossside, did you have any grievances with what I said?" asked Tennaya, smirking.
"If you want to be that child's spiritual mentor, then your encouragement and education are too rigid, just to let that child pursue physical strength, and the so-called power! ”
"Oh~ I don't know what you think, Your Excellency Crossside. ”
Crossside looked at Tenaya as if he were looking at an old-fashioned rotten thing: "Think carefully about the definition of power, what is power? In addition to physical strength and destructive power, wisdom, knowledge, wealth, power, these are also strength, and even more generalized reputation, connections, prestige, and appearance are all part of power. If it is only measured by pure physical strength, then the beasts in the forest are qualified to be kings, and killing each other and taking everything from each other proves that they are stronger, then human beings might as well give up civilization and return to the forest to live like wild beasts according to the laws of nature. ”
"But intelligent beings are not disordered beasts, and the world cannot be completely subsumed into chaos, chaos exists, but order is always the mainstream of this world, and even the drow elves, who have treacherously and famously regarded condemnation and murder as glory, have established a set of laws in their cities to bind the people, because they know that if they are completely committed to chaos and disorder, then the destruction of the country and the species is the only outcome. And in this era of order, power is not only defined as physical strength, in my opinion wealth and power are also a manifestation of power, for example, I am a businessman without the physique of a warrior but I can use money to hire powerful warriors to become my guards, and even I can sit in a safe place without even bothering to move my fingers, leisurely watching those who are more powerful fight for my interests, and afterwards I only need to pay some remuneration to pocket most of the benefits, this is the power brought by money and power。 ”
Tenaya laughed when she heard this: "Hahaha! So your Excellency our Vice President wants our Grand Duke's son to go into business, and then come to me to buy my little pet?"
"As I said, the definition of strength is not only the strength of the body, but also the amount of wealth. Crossside shook his head: " If I were that boy, if I wanted to get Aisha then I would find your weakness and attack, since you are the highest technical advisor in the Empire, then I will also learn these technical knowledge until one day I overwhelm you and replace you, when your presence in the Karlshurmen Empire is dispensable, Prince Augusta will definitely not shelter you anymore, if you still refuse at that time, even without me doing it myself, someone will do everything to help me take Aisha from your hands and send it to me. ”
"Interesting idea, although it feels like a fantasy, is really the most practical idea┉┉"
Nodding, Tenaya said noncommittally: "But if my power is an invincible existence, then how can you, even if you have great wealth and power, take everything away from me? ”
"Someone once instilled in my ears your theory of the supremacy of power all day long, telling me that the reason why I suffer and suffer is because I don't have power, and that with power you can defeat him, end his suffering, and dominate everything he creates, but do you know what I think?"
Crossside leaned closer to Tenaya and said in a slightly hideous tone: "I never think that there is absolutely invincible power in this world, I will let him know that I don't need to blindly pursue physical strength, with money and interests, with power and means, with wisdom and cooperation, I can also make new rules in this world, new rules that are not the supremacy of power!"
Tenaya was slightly stunned.
'One is a new rule that even the transcendent have to choose to obey┉
Crossside's last words rang directly in Tennaya's mind, and it was already a way for Tennaya to reveal her identity, one that was not just the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce.
Some of the guests around looked at the two rivals with a lively attitude, and some of them had a negative attitude and a mocking attitude, but at the same time, some of them frowned or suddenly seemed to understand something, and Corredir and Aisha on the side looked at Clossard a little sluggishly, and the two children heard some of the meaning of Clossard's words but could not fully understand them.
"Forget it. Tenaya tilted her head: "Originally, I still wanted to refute it, but now it doesn't make any sense to say more, only time can finally test the truth." ”
"So let's get back to business. ”
Closed was obviously not interested in continuing on this topic, and focused his attention on Aisha, who was still a little stunned.
Everyone who came back to their senses turned their eyes to it.
"Your name is Elsa?"
Aisha, who was asked by Crossside, nodded subconsciously, and then immediately hid behind Tennaya after coming to her senses.
"Originally, you lived in the Morninglight Forest in the southern region of the Karut Kingdom, and you also have a sister named Elojier, right?"
When she heard the name of her sister Elojiel, Aisha, who was still scared, suddenly raised her head and looked at Klosed nervously but expectantly, while Tena on the side secretly sighed in her heart, as expected, Crosset was really ready to use Elsa's sister as bait.
"You were caught by the slave team when you were about to enter the Misty Forest, and that's when you were caught, right?"
Under Closed's questioning, Aisha nodded incessantly.
After being entrusted by Arin to retrieve Elsa, Crossed did a lot of work for this elf girl, and learned from Gelkite that this elf escape team was planned by intelligence officers from the Holy Capital, and as the leader, it should be a female elf mage named Erojiel, and she happens to be Elsa's sister. However, after entering the Misty Forest, it was another male elf who arrived in the Holy Capital, apparently Elsa's sister was left in the Misty Forest, and the biggest reason why she was left behind was the White Dragon King Yalin.
Crossside believes that Elsa's sister must still be alive, and will stay with the White Dragon King, as for the ancient dragon king to be so persistent in retrieving Elsa, I am afraid that he has reached some kind of agreement with her sister, as for what he can't control, what matters is how to take away the elf girl who is close at hand now.
"Elsa, you listen well, I don't like to beat around the bush, someone entrusted me to look for you seems to be because of your sister Erojieer, choose me now, I will take you back to my client Maybe your sister is waiting for you there, as for the one next to you, you don't have to worry, there is no way to go back on the promise that you say in front of everyone, I can take you away immediately." ”
"Sister┉Have you seen your sister?"
"Actually, I didn't, but judging by some clues provided by my client, I think it should be your sister's commission. Clossard's tone was very calm, without the impatient hope that Aisha would believe her words, just to explain the reasons accurately and in detail.
There is no persuasion, no rhetorical persuasion, and this most direct and concise statement has credibility.
Aisha couldn't help but be tempted, it should be said that in this case, it is impossible for the girl not to be moved, being caught by humans as an item and trading back and forth, especially during the period when she was imprisoned in the slave trader's carriage, seeing the tragic experience of her compatriots, the fear of her own fate has long been soaked in her heart, and what supports Aisha's heart is not completely collapsed is only the hope to see her sister again.
And now, as if a miracle had suddenly appeared, a path to freedom was unfolding in front of me.
Sister~
Aisha almost couldn't hold back and stretched out her hand to Crossside, but in an instant the girl suddenly stopped, trembling and turning her head slightly with an inquiring expression to look at Tena who was calm on the side.
Tennaya smiled and didn't speak, the amount of the bait that Cloced threw out was indeed enough, but the weight of the bait was large, but it was impossible to see or touch.
If it was Aisha, who was still locked in a cage as a display before, she might have been eager to reach out, but now after her own 'education', Aisha is no longer so simple~
