Chapter 321: The Girls' Confusion
"Hey..............."
Returning to the battleship and looking at the sea of stars outside the window, An sighed silently. Just then, a voice rang in her ears.
"Your Highness the Princess."
"Ah, Audrey........."
Ann turned her head to look and saw Audrey standing quietly not far away, watching her.
"Is Mr. Knight back?"
"The master hasn't come back yet."
"Yes......... Sorry, can you pour me a cup of tea? β
"Of course."
Hearing Ann's request, Audrey nodded, and then she left the room, returning a moment later with a pot of black tea and placing the tea tray in front of Ann.
"Please."
"Hmm......... Thanks, by the way, Audrey, can you talk to me? β
"Absolutely."
In the face of Ann's words, although Audrey was a little surprised, she still nodded. Ann sat on the sofa, picked up the black tea in her hand, and stared at the ripples that shook inside.
"I, ah, have been thinking about Mr. Knight's words since then, and I have also gone back and read quite a few books, like the establishment of the Kingdom of Manalia......... Something like that......... I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, in fact, I don't think it's a problem now. Everyone lives a very happy and peaceful life, and I hope that I can be a good king and make the life of everyone in Manalia better, but ........."
Saying this, Ann sighed and lowered her head.
"I'm a little scared......... This historical law. β
βοΌβ
"Mr. Knight said that the total amount of matter in the universe is constant, and the more you have, the less others you have. And I am well aware that once a country is rich and strong, and the number of people increases, then the demand for the materials they need will also increase. In fact, I've always been worried about what if I had to do something bad in order to maintain a good life for everyone. It's like this operation, if we find the minerals or supplies we need to sustain us in Ragnes or the Elven Forest, then what should we do? β
As she said this, Ann's voice became deeper and deeper.
"We can go and ask them for help, buy from them. But what if they won't? What should we do if the Na'vi refuse to mine or buy it, as the Na'vi do? Am I going to watch my national standard of living gradually decline? Watching them go from a happy life to a miserable and backward one? Or should I start a war, to attack and attack my friend's country? I'm really scared of this kind of thing........."
To some extent, Ann is not unable to understand Duanmu Huai's approach, because her identity is also here, she is the royal daughter of Manalia, and she is also the queen of the future. Of course, she has a responsibility to her own people, and although Manalia is not going to have such a problem for now, Ann will have such concerns.
In other words, if not resources, there will be a similar situation.
For example, what if a plague suddenly spreads in Manalia and kills a large number of people, and only one of the plants in the Elven Forest has a healing effect on it, and this plant is considered priceless by the elves to be given because it is the source of life for the elves, and if destroyed, it will have irreversible and terrible effects on the elves themselves?
Sitting back and watching your own people die? Or grit your teeth and start a war to rob? Kill elves for the sake of your own people?
Even if the two sides are races that do not interact with each other, it is difficult for Ann, as a kind-hearted princess, to make such a decision. Not to mention that there are many elves in Manalia, and even her friend, the student council president, and the captain of the royal guard, is also an elf. Ann has a very good relationship with her, could it be that in this case, Ann wants to fight against her friends?
But if you give up because of friendship, then how can you be the queen of Manalia who sits back and watch the death of the people?
If they could, no one would want to be in such a dilemma. Everyone hopes that the country under their leadership will be peaceful and secure, the people will live happily, the country will be prosperous and strong, and there will be no problems.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing in reality. In fact, not so long ago, Manalia was on the verge of an inevitable rebellion under the influence of a succubus. Thanks to Duanmu Huai's timely awareness, the problem was eliminated, but it was just ......... The root cause of the problem is still there.
"But the host also said that it was a long process. It may take hundreds, millennia, or even longer to get to this stage. β
Audrey spoke, and Ann shook her head.
"I know, I'm just......... I've never thought about this kind of problem before, so I'm bothered by it. What about you, Audrey? What's your idea? β
"I am now my master's maid, as long as I do what my master commands."
Audrey clearly has her own opinion on the topic.
"But I'm sure the master will make the right decision, at least......... It seems to me that the master is not the kind of person who makes decisions without any consideration, and since he chooses to do so, he must have his reasons. And I am not in a position to question the master's decision. β
"Yes..............."
Hearing Audrey's answer, Ann smiled helplessly, but at this time, the door opened again, and then Lorena also walked in with a melancholy face, seeing Ann and Audrey, she was also stunned for a moment, but soon, the two glanced at each other, and immediately understood each other's intentions.
"Audrey, please prepare a cup of tea for Miss Lorena too."
"Okay, Your Highness Princess, please wait a moment."
After Audrey left, Ann turned her head and looked at Lorena.
"Miss Lorena these days........."
"Hey........."
Lorena shook her head.
"I returned to the Holy City to ask for guidance from the great gods, and to be honest, I never thought about these questions. I have always believed that as a priest, I should protect people from evil and hope that they can live a happy and beautiful life......... Of course, I haven't changed my mind now, but I just think that maybe my previous thinking was too rash. I was just thinking about how to solve their immediate problems, but I ignored the problems they might have in the future......... Perhaps, I should think more far-reaching, not only to help them get through the current difficulties, but also to guide them to the right path........."
"yes........."
Hearing Lorena's answer, Ann also nodded, obviously, Lorena and Ann's considerations are still different, this is also normal, Lorena is a priest, originally responsible for guidance and comfort, and Ann, as the princess of a country, the first thing she is responsible for is the whole country.
"Miss An, what do you think?"
"I ..............."
Faced with Lorena's inquiry, Ann was speechless for a while.
"To be honest, I'm still very distressed, I wish I never had this dilemma, maybe for now, I can only put it behind me for a while......... Aha, maybe, I'm just an escape. β
However, at this moment, another voice suddenly sounded.
"You really think about these boring things every day when you're idle and bored."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the two looked up and saw a drone levitating in mid-air, staring at them.
"Miss Felin?"
Because she had traveled to the war planet with Firin's drone, Lorena quickly recognized her.
"That's right, it's me, I was originally watching a travel promotional video, and I was speechless by the boring talk of the two of you."
"Ah......... Sorry ........."
"Nothing."
Firin's voice was as steady as ever.
"In my opinion, what Mr. Knight said is that no matter what kind of civilization it is, it must first preserve itself, and if it can't survive, then it will be forgotten."
At this, Filine snorted softly.
"Just like the Dragonmen, if you hadn't discovered the Ice Tower I am, would you have known that there was once a country built by Dragonmen in this world?"
"Uh..............."
Hearing this, Lorena and Ann were both speechless, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the men chasing the evil dragon Fafu found the ice tower that sealed the fire dragon, they would never know that a long time ago, there was a dragon capital in this worldβββ even in the classics of Manalia and the Holy City, there was no record of them.
"That's it."
Philene said violently.
"Only civilizations that survive are eligible to be remembered. And those civilizations that have failed, have been eliminated, will disappear into the dust of history, and they may even βββ 'never existed'. Therefore, it seems to me that your Excellency the Knight is right, even if you are proud of what you have done, if there is no civilization to survive and survive, your determination and spirit will also fade away, and no one will remember them, let alone remember them. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This sentence is too convincing for the dragon princess who destroyed the clan and the country.
"Winter ......... Winter......... Winter ........."
At this moment, suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded, and when they heard the footsteps, the girls suddenly became nervous, and then they saw the door open, and Duanmu Huai walked in wearing armor.
"Huh? What are you doing? β
Looking at the girl staring at him in front of him, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, I know what you want to ask, people didn't kill a few and drove them away, and the animals killed a bunch of them and took them back to roast later, understand?"
"Hoo ..............."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the girls were immediately relieved, they were not worried that Duanmuhuai would lie to them, since Duanmuhuai said so, then he must have done the same.
In fact, Duanmu Huai is indeed right, he didn't kill a few Na'vi people, mainly because the animals on the Pandora planet that are overwhelming are really annoying, Duanmu Huai bombarded with a light spear and a macro cannon, and then summoned [Puppet] and then transformed it into a giant dragon with [Dragon Power], and then cooperated with the Astral Army to fight, and fought for a full day, until finally the mantle was penetrated and found the [server] where Ava's consciousness was, and then Duanmu Huai jumped down and drilled into the ground to use the "Death of Destiny" 's black flames completely destroyed it.
After destroying the server and the consciousness stored in it, the entire planet Pandora also experienced a huge shock, and many creatures ran around like crazy, and it was obvious that the complete destruction of Ava also had a considerable impact on the planet.
However, this is not about the end of the locust anything, the problem is solved, the hidden danger is eliminated, and Dardanelle's company can continue mining, which is enough.
As for whether there will be a second Ava consciousness on this planet in the futureβββ Duanmu Huai found it difficult. The reason is very simple, the emergence of Ava's consciousness is because the superconducting ores on the surface of Pandora are connected to the life consciousness, and these huge life consciousnesses converge together, and finally form the server GM of Ava.
And now that humans are mining superconducting ores, once the mining is completed, then there will be no more networks and servers to conduct consciousness on the planet Pandora, and naturally there will be no second Ava.
As for the fate of the Na'vi......... This is not something that Duanmu Locust cares about. After all, now that Ava is dead, they have lost the ability to connect and transmit consciousness. This is actually like an online game, the Na'vi are the players who download the client, and Ava is the server, Duanmu Huai smashed the computer room directly, and the server was destroyed for you, and the client was naturally useless if it couldn't connect to the server.
Even if you open it, a [server not connected] warning will pop up.
So, how the Na'vi survive on Pandora is a question between the Na'vi and the humans of that civilization. Whether they were captured and sold as slaves or killed was a matter of their own choice.
And after Duanmu Huai eliminated Ava's consciousness, he also received a system reward.
Merely......... It's hard to say whether this is a reward or not.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai opened the system and looked at the reward content above.
γComplete the side quest "Pandora"γ
[Mission Evaluation: Quite Excellent]
[Mission Reward: A new ship appears in the mall, which can be exchanged]
[Exchangeable Battleshipβββ Planetary Cracker (can dismantle the planet, collect ores and process them, and have a certain chance to refresh the supernatural event)]
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ What the hell is this Nima?
To be honest, Duanmu Huai is very satisfied with this reward, after all, his raw materials and processing are guaranteed.
γ
But............... What does it mean to have a "certain chance of refreshing supernatural events"?
Isn't this Nima a space battleship?
Are you still haunted?!
