Kuzan sat on a rock on the shore, his eyes reflecting the burning flames of the island. But the flame in his heart was slowly extinguished, turned into ashes, and sank to the bottom of his heart.

What is Justice?

Kuzan thought about it seriously, he knew that his heart was in turmoil, and the burning justice that he once believed in now seemed a little ridiculous.

Just like his friend Saulo, he does not have a clear definition of his own justice, but he has his own bottom line of principles in his heart, once he crosses this line, he can even abandon his identity in the navy, and even sacrifice himself for it in the end.

Another example is Allen, who often boasts that his justice is the justice of krypton, Kuzan doesn't quite understand the meaning of the word 'krypton', but he also knows that Allen's way of doing things is what he yearns for in his heart, and it is precisely because of this that he can become friends with Allen.

Like Sakaski, even if Kuzan doesn't want to judge others in his heart, he feels that this person has completely walked into a point of no return as he thinks.

The road was full of thorns and blood – the blood of others, the blood of the innocent.

Perhaps, it's time for me to change my mind. Kuzan thought to himself, his gaze turned in the other direction, where footsteps and wheezing could be heard.

A little girl ran out of the firelight, and when she saw him, her eyes widened and she stopped in shock.

"Thorough justice sometimes turns people into murder weapons, without human form." Kuzan looked at her and said, "I've decided to let you leave this island and see what the seed that Saulo guarded with his life will grow into, and you are free to resent anyone, including me and Alan." But you also have to be glad that you have picked up a life, which has nothing to do with charity, and it does not require you to be grateful. It's just that in the future, you have to keep a low profile as much as possible and not attract the attention of the government and the navy. ”

He stood up and walked past Robin: "I have condensed an ice path on the sea, you take that small boat, keep going, you can reach another land, how to survive depends on your luck." Kuzan stopped beside Robin and continued, "Also, remember, I am not your companion, but your enemy who will appear to capture you as soon as you commit a crime. ”

Kuzan continued on his way, leaving only a tall back in the firelight.

Little Robin reacted suddenly, she turned to look at Kuzan, and said loudly, "But, my mother is still on the island. ”

"On this island, no one can be saved, and no life will survive, if you want to stay and die, it is also your freedom, I will not interfere in any way, I choose my own path." Kuzan's figure disappeared from little Robin's sight.

Little Robin understood the importance of time, and she wiped away her tears, and despite her exhaustion, she walked to the boat docked by the sea, and slid her oars along a frozen path from Kuzan to the island.

What was once lush O'Hara has been transformed into an island covered in flames and smoke, with smoke covering almost the entire island and, of course, the view of naval vessels.

The all-knowing tree, which had grown for thousands of years as if it could touch the clouds, was so intense that it seemed to burn all knowledge away.

Memories flashed one by one, and little Robin suddenly let out Saulo's trademark laugh, mixed with tears and a face blackened by smoke, with an indescribable sadness: "Te Lak Hee Hee Hee ......"

Since then, she has become a complete person.

On the coast, Alan watched the little figure turn into a black dot and disappear from sight, and couldn't help but sigh, for a little girl of this age, today's encounter would be a nightmare that she would never forget.

"Kuzan, I didn't expect you to be able to do such a thing, aren't you afraid that I will tell this matter to the Sengoku or the Marshal of the Sky?"

"Would you do that? I'm worried if it was someone else, but if it were you, I wouldn't do it. ”

Kuzan was sure, he took the sunglasses off the bridge of his nose and put them in the pocket of his clothes, and continued: "I only now understand some of your methods, no matter what those scholars do, she is only a little girl of 7 or 8 years old, she has never been out of this island, and she does not deserve to be punished by death." I'm not the Sakasky bastard, and sometimes, our justice will ...... Anyway, there should be something else to consider besides justice. ”

There is a lot of unfinished meaning in Kuzan's words, and he has already thought deeply about who determines the justice of the navy.

By the Navy itself?

I'm afraid that the scholars who died in O'Hara will not think so, and even Kuzan himself is a little shaken, such as the kind of behavior of Sakasky, which probably not many people approve of except himself.

"This is normal, the world government and the navy are not infallible, but there is no punishment after making mistakes, so that some people think that these mistakes are also correct. The cost of their mistakes is too low, and there is nothing to counterbalance, so there are some sinful things in the name of justice. "Allen sees it very clearly, if power is not checked, it will inevitably lose control, leading to an uncontrollable abyss.

Just like the Celestial Dragons on high above, how ridiculous it is that the sins they have committed in these eight hundred years can even fill the entire Great Voyage, and no one can judge them under any circumstances!

Sometimes Alan shuddered just thinking about it.

Kuzan asked: "How did you solve the problem of the shelling of the refuge ship by Sakasky?" ”

"What else can be done, I can only stop his operation this time, let him go back to Marinfando, I can't teach him a lesson in front of the people of O'Hara." Alan was full of disgust and disgust when he talked about Sakasky.

In his previous life, when he was slapping the keyboard on the Internet, he was very disgusted with Sakasky because of this incident, and some people are still whitewashing this person, but that is only from the position of his own delusion, if such a person really crosses into this world and becomes the people of O'Hara, Alan believes that they will hate the red dog more than anyone else, the kind that hates it to the bone.

"You didn't even do it?" Kuzan was a little surprised.

According to Allen's temper, he doesn't look like a person who can bear it, and this solution is normal for him and a little too conservative for Allen.

Allen's head was full of black lines: "What do you mean by this, am I a reckless man in your heart?" Is this place a hands-on place now? But this is not the end of the matter, when I go back to the headquarters, I must make Sakasky pay the price, if I don't happen to be at the refuge ship, at least hundreds of civilians and dozens of our soldiers will die, he doesn't want to expose this matter easily. ”

This was originally decided by Allen, if he hadn't taken the overall situation into account, he would definitely have fought with the Red Dog now, and the impact would have been even worse.

"Fortunately, with you, I didn't expect Sakasky to do such a desperate job, he is so paranoid." Kuzan agrees with Allen's words, although from the beginning Kuzan has no friendship with Sakasky because of the disagreement with the concept, and now Sakasky has made this kind of behavior not incompatible with the concept to be clear, "I will also work with you to give feedback on this matter, some things can't be treated as not happening because they didn't cause serious consequences, since this kind of thing has been done, you must have the consciousness to bear the consequences." ”

"Good brother." Alan patted Kuzan on the shoulder and said.

It's been a long time since the first Demon Slaying Order, and O'Hara has completely changed, with burning flames and billowing smoke everywhere, as well as drifting dust and sparks, and the waters around the island turning black.

The Tree of Omniscience, the symbol of the island, also collapsed to the ground in flames, and the flames were still devouring the ancient tree, and the entire island had basically lost its breath of life.

On the shore, there was an ice sculpture in the shape of a giant, and the cold air around him exuded a cold atmosphere, and even the heat of the burning trees of the entire island did not thaw the ice sculpture.

The fruit ability of the pants has been developed to the point of being very profound, and it is much colder than the naturally formed ice.

The combination of cold and heat creates a mixture of water vapor and smoke and dust, making it difficult to see.

Alan retracted his gaze, giants usually have strong vitality and not weak strength, in layman's terms, the lower limit is very high, but compared to Kuzan, Saulo, who is also a lieutenant general, is still much worse.

After all, Da Qingji is one of the three major generals in the future, one of the men standing at the top of the world, and there are only a dozen or so of such men in the world.

Kuzan followed Alan and the two walked along the coast, and seemed to notice Alan's gaze, Kuzan sighed: "This guy Saulo is willing to sacrifice himself for a little girl, I just hope he has done nothing wrong." Kuzan has no regrets about what he did, but he also hopes that the little girl he let go will not live up to Saulo's wishes.

Alan smiled, Saulo didn't know if he did anything wrong, Kuzan must have let little Robin go, after all, there were not many people in this world who could read the text of history - if the scholars of O'Hara were like their original fate.

……

……

O'Hara had become unrecognizable, no longer the verdant sight it once was, and the Tree of All-Knowing fell to the ground, a mass of charcoal that had not yet been completely burned.

In the darkness, there were many traces of human figures, and they had a strange posture, and they died quietly in the sea of fire.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

Alan and Kuzan arrived, and the soldiers were cleaning up the traces of the battlefield, and it was not accurate to say that it was a battlefield, because it was a completely one-sided massacre, and the other side did not resist, and they were still desperately trying to save the books in the library in their last days.

For such a person, Alan could not be more respectful in any way.

Although they violated the ban of the world government without the ability to protect themselves, studied the historical texts without authorization, and finally suffered such a catastrophe, their devotion to knowledge is really rare in the world.

At least Alan knew he couldn't do it to that extent.

Alan beckoned and called out to a group of soldiers: "Come a group of people, collect their corpses." "Most of these scholars have been charred, but they have not been completely burned to ashes, and it is not too difficult to sort them out.

It's just that it's more difficult to recognize who is who.

A large pit was dug out, and Alan casually built a large glass coffin to hold the bodies of the scholars.

All the navy soldiers fell silent, especially when they looked into the lake next to the fallen tree of omniscience, and an indescribable feeling spread among all the soldiers.

The originally clear water of the lake has become muddy, but under the surface of the lake, books lie quietly in it, filling the entire lake.

This is what all of O'Hara's scholars did before they died, and instead of saving themselves in the last moments of their lives, they devoted all their limited energy and time to saving books.

A corpse was excavated and placed in a glass coffin, and finally the coffin sank into a deep pit that had been dug.

Alan made a handful of glass catalpa and sprinkled a handful of scorching soil on the coffin, and then the other soldiers repeated the action, and slowly, the coffin was covered with dirt until there was no trace of it.

The whole process was silent, with Alan not speaking, as did the other soldiers.

A mound appeared where the Tree of All-Knowing had been, and then before the mound, a stone tablet was erected, and Eren himself carved a line of words on the stone.

With the supreme fast knife Ace, lines of font quickly emerged on the tombstone: noble is the epitaph of the noble, they are a group of historical seekers who have truly dedicated their lives for knowledge.

After carving the words, Alan put the knife into the sheath and bowed deeply to the tombstone, not for anything else, but for the spirit of these people who desperately want to keep the books, for their devotion to knowledge.

It is a pity that knowledge can only arm their minds, not their bodies, and in this world, it is precisely the powerful who rule over the powerful minds.

"Allen, if you do this, you will probably be reprimanded when you return to the headquarters." Kuzan said from the side.

Alan pouted: "Admonishment? Can it make me a dime less? Whoever says me, let him say it. "Anyway, it's not the first time I've been said, Alan is completely immune to this kind of thing, as long as it doesn't deduct his money, it's not a big problem.

"Lieutenant General Allen, Lieutenant General Kuzan, the entire island has been searched, and no traces of human survival have been found." A soldier wearing a colonel's shawl saluted the two men.

"Got it, mission complete, ready to return to Marinfando." Alan nodded, "Well, don't forget to report this situation to the headquarters and the world government. ”

"What's wrong? Still have questions? Seeing that the colonel did not move, Alan asked again.

"These books ...... What to do. ”

"Books? Since these scholars were desperately rescued, let them sleep with them forever. These are just small things anyway. Alan waved his hand as if he didn't care.

"Understood, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General." The colonel saluted and left.

At this time, Spandain came out of nowhere and walked towards Alan: "Vice Admiral Alan, I found a small boat on the sea in the distance. Olvia's daughter, who had already become an archaeologist at a young age. ”

"Oh?" Alan wondered, "Then why don't you catch up?" ”

Spandain was very annoyed and said, "I don't know why, the rudder of my ship won't turn, it's like it's frozen, it must be that bastard of Saulo who did a good job." ”

Alan glanced at Kuzan, a drop of cold sweat suddenly dripped from the young lieutenant general's face, and his gaze with sunglasses could not be seen by others, so he was a little flustered.

That's the real culprit.

"Saulo has already been shot dead by Lieutenant General Kuzan, and now it's useless for you to complain about that."

"Yes, yes, but whether Lieutenant General Allen wants to give an order, that little ghost is not only an archaeologist, but also knows how to interpret the text of history, if she escapes, this demon slaying order operation can be said to be greatly reduced."

Allen's face suddenly fell: "Sir Spandyne, are you teaching me to do things?" He accentuated the pronunciation of the prefect, and Spandain's face immediately turned terrified.

Spandain wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, he knew what the lieutenant general looked like when he was angry before, to be honest, even if the object of his anger was not him, it impressed him deeply, after all, Sakasky was such a strong person, and he was directly driven back by Allen.

"How...... How could it be, I ...... I'm just suggesting, yes, it's just a suggestion, and the specific way to act depends on Lieutenant General Allen's arrangement, after all, you are the commander of this operation. ”

Allen's face returned to normal, so that the air pressure around him suddenly relaxed, and Spandain found that his back was full of cold sweat, and he couldn't help sighing, facing these powerful monsters, it was really too stressful.

He only heard Alan say, "Leave this matter to me, Kuzan, you take everyone back to the headquarters to restore your life, and I will go to find the little girl who escaped." I have only one request, arrange all the survivors, Spandain, and please leave this matter to you. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Vice Admiral Allen, please rest assured, I will definitely arrange all the survivors, there will be absolutely no problems, I haven't thanked you for saving my men on the refuge ship before." Asked by Alan, Spandyne felt that his bones were a few pounds lighter.

The so-called friendship is like this, and he Spandyne will never let go of such an opportunity!

If you do this well, you will definitely be looked at differently by Allen, so after going back and forth, will the relationship soon become close.

Alan didn't know what Spandyne was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, such a guy would definitely fail in his previous life or if he didn't have enough success, but in this world with big fists, he couldn't make any waves at all.

He just looked at Kuzan and raised an eyebrow at him.

"When I go back to the headquarters, don't forget to treat me."
