Chapter Ninety-Six: The Past

Faced with this dry river, Vincent uncovered the dusty past in front of everyone.

The Sweet Water River has been broken for more than 30 years, and it will be torn down at the earliest in the last Demon Land War.

"Master, why did you destroy the dam?" Ninia asked in a trembling voice, "There are still countless people downstream who rely on the river to farm and feed their families."

"Yes, the dam was destroyed." Vincent's cold eyes flashed with a cold light, and he stared at the female magician and asked, "As a high-achieving student who can enter the Magic Academy, you are very familiar with the magisters inside, right?"

"Get to know some."

La Nina was uncomfortable with this staring, she seemed to know something, but she tried her best to hide it.

"The elemental magisters in the main courtyard are all the top powerhouses on the continent, and many of them became famous during the war, so to speak, they stepped on the bones of our clan and stepped into the gate of the main courtyard, and watched the majestic spire for the rest of their lives, gaining fame and fortune."

Vincent kicked a handful of sand from his feet, using his magic to gather the sand that rose into the air.

"Among them, the master of the Earth Palace, the great earth elemental mage Master Gasni, is the main designer and builder of the dam, and his earth mountain magic only took one day to cut off the raging river that has been raging for thousands of years. By the way, the Golem is very easy to use, and I like it too."

"That's also for the war, in order to keep the demons from ...... Your people are using the river to swim up the river and threaten more people and countries." La Niña stubbornly explained, "As long as there are just means to stop war, it's worth trying."

"Well said!" Vincent applauded contrivedly, "O justice, how many atrocities have been committed in the name of you!"

As he spoke, he suddenly questioned La Niña.

"So, is it also a righteous move to dig a dam and flood the downstream without caring about the lives of people downstream?"

"It's the Demon King......

La Niña also tried to put up a final resistance, but Vincent's voice interrupted him.

"Do you dare to swear to the gods?" Vincent said sternly, "I can swear to any god that we didn't do this, but that the previous king, Roland, and the archmages planned it from the beginning."

"Plug the rivers and fill them, then flood our armies and marching paths, giving time for the coalition forces to assemble in the north. All three legions of our people were drowned in the turbid current, and the dead and wounded were incalculable."

"It's not our handiwork, it's theirs."

Hearing this, Ninia was completely stunned, she didn't expect that there was another version of this matter in Vincent's mouth.

However, what made her even more unbelievable was that in the face of Vincent's questioning, La Nina, who had been arrogant before, was speechless.

There are some things that ordinary people definitely don't know, but it doesn't mean that those at the top of the crowd don't know.

Being able to pretend to be confused is one of the basic accomplishments of nobles.

While it is unknown how many deaths and injuries and destruction were caused by doing so at the time, Ninia was well aware that in her time, people downstream were still suffering from the lack of irrigation in the land.

The rain and well water are not enough to compare with the rivers, and the land that lacks water does not grow much food, and everyone is cursing the demons, hoping that the benevolent people will come to their rescue.

The river won't come back, but the new lord of the demon clan is here, and it seems to most people that the end is coming.

"Is this true?" Ninia couldn't be reserved anymore, he turned to the sorceress and asked angrily, "Is it the Old Kingdom that has starved the people downstream for thirty years?"

It seems that the lord's subordinate is a victim related to the incident......

La Nina's face was cloudy, but she had no intention of retreating in front of this female knight of unknown origin.

"For the sake of victory, for the honor of the family, for the dignity of the human race, some sacrifices are necessary." La Niña replied with a strong face, "Our family also paid great sacrifices in the war, and we choose to accept it."

"The sacrifice of the noble lords can be exchanged for a higher castle and the praise of thousands of people, but what about us?" Ninia's eyes

Tears welled up in her eyes, "Thirty years have passed, and we are still being sacrificed!"

"Without any notice or explanation, it's too despicable to throw the charges and us all at the demons!"

It was the first time Vincent had seen Ninia so excited, but for the Great Demon Clan, there was nothing bad about people's negative emotions.

Instead of making her accept her kindness, let her see the malice of her fellow citizens.

In this way, she can truly find her position and mission.

She may not know herself for a long time, but if only she can understand the nobility, it will be enough.

"I'm leaving, that's all in the past!" La Nina pushed away the agitated Ninia and said coldly, "Peace is the best compensation we can give to civilians."

"Why don't you leave this peace of hunger and cold to yourselves!"

At this moment, for the first time, Ninia completely forgot her resentment towards her lord, and she found that compared to Vincent, there were too many evil and hypocritical things in this world.

"Miss, I must warn you that you have mistaken the object of your anger," La Niña was also anxious, "it was all done by the former Herodians, and it has nothing to do with us."

It's a pity that Vincent didn't intend to let the eldest lady be a bystander.

"As far as I know, the dam was built on your family's domain. Do you really think it has nothing to do with you?"

This sentence made La Nina, who could still stay calm, completely break the defense.

It was because she knew the location of the dam that she was hesitant at the beginning.

Demons are demons, and they can dig up old black material on this river, La Nina feels that her head is about to explode.

I was unknowingly caught in the eye of the storm of things, and I couldn't stay out of it at all.

If there is no reasonable explanation, let alone others, if the female knight in front of her is not stopped by the lord, I am afraid that she will split herself.

"It's all in the past, so why are you holding on to it? I wasn't even born when this happened, so what's the point of saying this to me now?"

At this point, it would only be counterproductive to put up a shelf of aristocratic daughters, and La Nina's face turned gloomy, shaking the shackles in her hands vigorously, and roaring at Vincent.

"Man is doing it, and God is watching." Vincent pointed to the increasingly blazing sun and said coldly, "I just want you to recognize a basic fact - responsibility cannot be shirked, rather than denying it, it is better to actively remedy it."

"The war was provoked by the demons, and without you, why would we build the dam? When it comes to responsibility, are you less responsible than me? The demons should be cursed, and you will ...... anything but destruction."

As La Niña became angry and shouted at Vincent and the demons, she was slapped in the face.

"My master is not a bad demon like that!"

Ninia, who kept raising her hand and her body trembled slightly with anger, stared at La Nina with a stunned face, and said word by word.
