After saying these words in one breath, Farren let out a long breath, these doubts had been buried deep in her heart for a long time. www.biquge.info In fact, Faren has not thought about these things, since she couldn't get the answer from the teacher, she also tried to come up with the answer by herself, after all, Faren has also read a lot of records and records about various wars, but when she recalls these, it makes her feel even more confused and confused, because most of the records in this area do not describe the specific situation on the battlefield, and as for the casualties of those civilians, except for the numbers and causes of death, they are almost blank. The most important thing in the record is the information about the motives, processes, attrition, tactics, and results of the war.

So on the other hand, although Faren has been thinking, it is precisely because of this that she does not get a clear answer.

In the face of her question, Yu Lian did not answer immediately, on the contrary, he carefully looked at the girl in front of him with the help of the firelight.

“......... It seems that you are not confused about the definition of war. ”

"Huh?"

Julien's answer surprised Haruen, and for a moment she didn't even know how to answer the question--but in the end, the girl nodded slightly and acquiesced.

"I have only one answer. ”

Yulian raised his glass, and the mellow wine exuded a faint fruity aroma, which made people feel calm and brought a touch of warmth.

"As long as there is a war, it must be cruel, and as for those whom you are concerned about, whether it is a war of justice or evil, there will not be much difference in the outcome -- oh, wrong, or rather, there is no justice or evil in war itself, but only the difference between destruction and conquest. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Farin's eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at Yuren in disbelief.

"Mr. Yuren, what do you mean .........?"

Literally. ”

Yuren said, shrugging his shoulders and taking a sip of the wine in his glass.

"But I know your question doesn't seem to be that simple. ”

"Yes, Mr. Yuren. ”

Farin lowered her head and bit her lip.

"I know, you think I'm naïve, and you think I'm innocent, and in fact, I admit it. ”

It is very important for people to be self-aware, and it seems that this young lady has no problem with her attitude towards being a person.

"But...... I'm not really stupid. In fact, when I arrived, I had asked the soldiers about the actions of the rebels. The high-sounding answers I received from the commander alone did not reassure me. However, the rebel soldiers showed the same attitude. They hated the aristocracy, they hated that they had deprived themselves of the right to exist, that they had wandered here, that they were oppressed by those nobles, and that they were bitter and angry because of it. I've asked about them personally, and they're not fake. Therefore, in my opinion, the people in that territory really hate the oppression of those nobles. However, what I can't figure out is that the rebel soldiers are serious about the nobility, and the ordinary people are serious about the rebels, and the rebels seem to be serious about the hatred of the ordinary people. I really can't understand why things are going the way they are, I thought that the common people were also afraid of the rule of the aristocracy, so they kept silent............"

"Miss Faren. ”

Before Haren could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yuren, who narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him with a hint of a smile.

"Are you satisfied with your life in the Mage Guild?"

"This ...... I'm very satisfied. ”

Although he didn't know why Yuren answered the question again, Faren nodded subconsciously.

"Nothing to say?"

"This ......... No. ”

"However, I know that there are many mages who can only work at the lowest apprentice level in their lives, and cannot grow into real mages. But these apprentices were deceived by their mentors into believing that they had extraordinary gifts that led them to become mage apprentices, and after that, they continued to work as servants in this lie until their deaths. Although many apprentices knew the truth, they could not resist their teachers, let alone the mage association that had signed the contract, so they could only secretly curse, hoping that the mage association and the mage could be completely destroyed and disappear into this world. There are not a few such people. ”

"This, this, how is this possible?"

Hearing this, Faren's face turned pale.

"It is true that there are many mage apprentices, but before they join the association, they should have all been tested for talent, and they should know their possible surnames, indeed, I have also heard that some mages have violated the rules and collected servants without authorization, but that is only a small part!"

"Two or three hundred mage apprentices who are angry because of the deception are indeed not a lot. ”

"Yes, there are tens of thousands of apprentices in the Mage Association alone, although it is normal to have dissatisfaction, but ............ Yes. ”

Saying this, Lotus seemed to sense something.

"Do you ......... say?"

"As you thought, Miss Faren. ”

Yuren put down his glass.

"If people are very satisfied with their lives and do not have any dissatisfaction, they will naturally not express their opinions, because they have no opinions at all. And only those who have opinions about their own lives will express their opinions, but because of this, you are only exposed to those opinions that are expressed - the silent majority is always the neglected group, and it is true that some of the rebel soldiers may have a grudge against the nobles, but they are only a minority, not a majority. But you can't get the opinion of the majority -- because they have no opinion and no dissatisfaction. ”

“........................”

Looking at Haren as he pondered, Yuren shrugged his shoulders, and then casually pointed at the old man and young apprentice who were busy on the other side of the counter.

"Look at them, are they dissatisfied with their current lives, are they resentful, are they angry? If you only get answers from the perspective that you want, then you will naturally come to different conclusions. On the other hand, if I were to ask you what you do about the Mage Guild and not what you think of the Mage Guild, how would you answer?"

"Since you're asking about any grievances, then I'm ........."

"No one is completely satisfied, people are greedy, and that's why they progress. Perhaps the same is true of the owner here, who may be dissatisfied with the lack of customers, the cheap liquor, and the lack of smooth roads. But it's not something worth his life to change, is it?"

“.....................”

Farin didn't answer, she just looked at the figure on the other side of the counter with a complicated expression, as if trying to find something from the two people.

"In my hometown, there is a proverb. ”

Noticing the change in the expression on the girl's face, Yulian smiled.

"It's 'better to be a peace dog than a troubled world.'" ’”

"This, the meaning of this sentence ........."

"At the extreme, I'd rather be a dog in peacetime than a man in a war-torn world. ”

Hearing this, not only Farien, but even Offariel refocused his attention on Yuren.

"But being a dog is too ............"

"What kind of life can a dog live in peacetime? Even a wild dog can leisurely rummage through the garbage on the street and find something to eat. But what about the people of wartime?Miss Faren?You have already confirmed with your own eyes, so tell me, which of those who were slain, who were happier than the wild dogs in the streets? If there is no life, then man is nothing. ”

Speaking of this, Yulian glanced at Faren, who was a little pale, and even Offariel, who had been silent before, also showed a trace of uneasiness at this moment. Only the twin sisters were still peaceful, sitting quietly in their seats—but at the moment, they were holding each other's hands, and there was a steady, soft smile as they looked at each other.

But without war, man would not have realized the value of peace. If they hadn't experienced a life of lying on the mud floor, not even as good as worms, they wouldn't have had any fear of losing the peace and tranquility of the moment. It is only after they have experienced killing and death that they will realize the value of peace and will do their best to preserve this peaceful world. But when those who know the trauma of war die, those who have been indulging in peaceful life for too long will have a renewed desire for war -- and that is war. People will start a war with something worth defending with their lives, and end with nothing more important than life. It's that simple. ”

As he spoke, You Lian gently stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist, and couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"It is true that the nobles are devastated in their money, but the victims are only a few after all, and what about in war? Miss Faren, have you not seen with your own eyes, in a war-torn world, women are willing to survive, but they do not use any means, they will even sell their bodies, dignity, and souls for a piece of bread, a place to live, mothers sell their daughters, sisters betray their sisters, and they have no other way to survive than to be 'willingly' reduced to playthings. And even such a life is only a luxury for them, and the woman who is tired of playing will soon be killed, because there is no need to waste food without a worthless pet, and people will not worry about the lack of sources, after all, in that world, women who try to be playthings, but they come in line, and they don't care at all about their purity, nor their personality, -- those who care about these things have either gained strength and struggled to survive in troubled times, or have fallen into the mud and become rotten flesh and blood. ”

“............”

Up to this point, Farin and Offariel had not spoken again, and strictly speaking, they were also people who lived in peacetime, and for them, the defilement and insult of a woman's surname was already the most serious sin. However, they never imagined that there would be a world in which women would even beg others to defile and insult themselves in order to survive, and what they needed was not money, wealth, power, or appearance -- just to live and see the sun tomorrow.

"Even in a peaceful world, there are many such people, but they are still only a minority compared to the majority. Human society itself is a life, metabolism is also necessary, just as our body will eliminate some waste in order to grow healthily, and society will also eliminate some waste in order to grow. And those people, for whatever reason, were unlucky to be the excluded part -- and it seemed that this was not the topic of conversation at dinner. ”

With the tavern owner bringing the grilled meat steak to the table with a warm smile, Yulian also ended the topic in time.

But at this moment, the poor two young ladies have completely lost their previous appetite, and Ofaril is better, after all, she is a figure in the political circle, and her skill is not full of joy and anger, but it is also a top level, so when the boss came over, she had already packed up her mood and regained her peaceful and elegant smile. Farien, on the other hand, was a little slower, after all, what Yuren said was something she had never heard in books or from others, and Ofariel, as a politician, still knew something about the darkness of these lower classes. But Faren is an ordinary mage who doesn't know the world, and now he knows so many things that he has never cared about, and his brain is naturally a little confused. Because of this, when the boss politely handed her food, Farien's face was still a little unpleasant.

This made the old man a little panicked, for fear that he would annoy the other party because of his own negligence, but after hearing the old man's somewhat panicked inquiry, Fa Lian's heart softened, and then he reluctantly suppressed those unpleasant feelings and regained his calm.

I have to say that women are really natural actors.

After that, You Lian booked a few rooms with the tavern owner, saying that he and the others planned to stay here for a while, and the old man naturally agreed, after all, such a gold owner is rare, even if he lives here, he can bring a lot of benefits to himself.

And for the next few days, the people lived as peaceful as ever. Farin had been alone in her room since that day, apparently thinking and digesting Julien's words. Offariel, on the other hand, practiced how to sense the magic fluctuations around her all day as ordered by Yuren. As for Yuren and the twin sisters, they became the most leisurely travelers -- after seeing the icy and snowy scene outside, the two girls shouted to go out for a snowball fight, and Yuren naturally accompanied them.

So, in this town, there was a little more life and vitality, and soon, everyone became the center of the conversation.

After all, Messiah and Semia are very cute children, and in such winters, they look more pure and beautiful like snow elves, which will naturally become a topic of conversation among those rural villagers. And although Yu Lian didn't say it explicitly, judging from his appearance, he could also detect that the other party was a nobleman, so it also brought a lot of discussions.

"Peace ........."

Standing at the window, looking at the twin sisters who were rolling and playing in the snow below, Farin muttered to herself, she had seen such a scene many times, but Farin had never associated it with peace, in her opinion, it seemed that the world was the way it should be, and everyone lived a good life, which should be taken for granted, even without doubt.

But is that really the case?

Is this really what we deserve to be? without any doubt?

Yuren gave a different answer.

So, what about yourself?

Faren lowered her head and looked at her hands, she didn't think that war was so cruel, but now, can she continue to fight and participate in the war calmly?

"Knock knock. ”

There was a knock on the door.

"Miss Faren. ”

Ofariel's figure appeared in the doorway, her expression unusually serious.

"I've sensed strange fluctuations in magic and need your help. ”

After several days of wind and snow, the long-lost sunlight finally shone down through the scattered clouds, covering the snow-white and heavy snow with a vivid orange brilliance.

"It's indeed a fluctuation of magic weapons. ”

Lotus closed her eyes and stretched her hands forward, and a small circle jumped between her hands, then forming an active wave.

"Judging by this fluctuation..............."

Saying this, Faren frowned, then opened his eyes in surprise and looked at the mountains and forests not far away.

"Construct a golem, they're transporting something so dangerous!?"

"It seems that it is indeed the masterpiece of the Mage Guild. ”

Hearing this, Yu Lian gave an answer very calmly, and Fa Lian did not have the slightest intention of justifying. As we all know, although magic tools are available in many countries, and magic weapons also exist as conventional military weapons, they are limited to magic guidance systems and tools that ordinary people can indulge in, such as magic cannons. But the construction of the Golem is completely different, it not only needs to be activated, but also needs the mage to use his own strength to indulge it, and therefore, unlike other magic weapons, the construction of the Golem belongs to the special products of the Mage Association, therefore, those who can mobilize this level of weapons, except for the Mage Association, do not think twice at all.

"What the hell is the teacher thinking?"

Although after thinking about these words, Faren's psychology has changed a little, but she is still a straightforward person in nature, and if she doesn't contact her teacher, she really never contacts her again. And now, perceiving this fluctuation, Faren is naturally extremely angry.

"Even within the Mage Guild, the Constructed Demon Elephant can be regarded as an extremely lethal weapon, and it can even easily destroy an elite army! ”

It seems that it is really for "that".

Yulian and the twin sisters glanced at each other, not explicitly, but the current situation is already very clear, the other party must know something about "that", otherwise, they would not be so cautious, although it is a bit of a fanfare to use the Golem to deal with a group of regular troops, but if it is to deal with "that", ......... I'm afraid it's not qualified enough, maybe it's not enough.

"What's next, sir?"

Offariel asked in a low voice, glancing at Phorim, who was clenching her fists and angry, and feeling that things were starting to take a weirder turn.

"Can you see where they're going?"

"Yes, in order to avoid tracking, these people chose the mountain path, but they did not leave the normal range. ”

"Good. ”

Yulian snapped his fingers, and then he raised his head and looked at the mountains and forests not far away.

"Listen to me, find the group, follow them, don't be spotted by these guys, I want to see what they want to do. ”
