Chapter 627: Amilia's Confusion
Feron at night is just as beautiful.
Walking along the Wudong River and looking at the surrounding scenery is very suitable for the scene of confession.
But unfortunately, Duanmu Huai knew that Emilia would never come for this.
After all, the murder prince Shirek once commented on the god of justiceβββ "Tyre is a perverted nymphomaniac, otherwise why are there so many people who do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for justice, but he is served by a group of gay girls who are beautiful and never married?" β
Well......... How to put it, the words are not rough.
Of course, players also have their own explanations for this, and it is understandable that Tyre has this hobby. After allβββ Tyre is an old man who has lost his right hand.
Well, everyone who understands understands.
By the way, Ciric is also miserable, basically his church has been surrounded and wiped out by players. It's not that the player has any opinion of Ciric, after all, even if the murder of the prince is a lie and the god of killing, it doesn't have much to do with them.
But the problem is that Shirek's emblem βββ a white skull shrouded in a black sun.
Well......... You're disrespectful.
If Duanmu Huai saw Ciric, he would definitely kill him directly without explanation.
This emblem alone is enough to shoot a hundred times.
But now is not the time to talk about Ciric.
"Mr. Duanmu, it's actually ........."
Walking to the river and looking at the forest in front of her, Emilia's expression was a little melancholy.
"Actually......... Before I left Neverwinter, I visited Lady Erebeth once, and she was not doing well......... And I heard from her servants that she often had nightmares......... She seems to have lost her faith, I don't understand...... Who is right? Who is evil again? β
"Oh, if you're going to ask this, I'm going to say......... The Trial Chamber is not concerned with this issue. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Ay? β
I have to say that Duanmu Huai's answer was completely unexpected by Amilia, and she looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise.
"But ........."
"Originally, justice is a very ambiguous and indefinable thing, for example, if a country is invaded by a group of barbarians, they brutally kill the people of that country, rape the women of that country, and kill the children of that country, so are these barbarians evil?"
"Of course."
This time, Emilia answered without hesitation.
"Then if you dig deeper, you will find that the land of that country was originally the home of the barbarians, and in order to occupy this land, the people of that country not only hunted down the barbarians who invited them into their homeland, but even used disease and pestilence to wipe them out completely. They even scalped off the barbarians as a reward, and all the barbarian tribes are doing now is revenge for taking back their homeland, so now you tell me, who is righteous? β
"This ..............."
Emilia was speechless for a moment.
"Righteousness, evil, are both subjective definitions of human beings. It's like a child who runs to the forest to pick flowers and is killed by a beast. People would think that the beast was evil because it brutally killed unarmed children. But in the world of beasts, killing the cubs of other races is a natural act in itself, to prevent other races from taking up their territory. Therefore, in the eyes of the beast, there is nothing wrong with what he has done, let alone any distinction between justice and evil, which is subjectively defined by human beings in the final analysis. β
Duanmu Huai spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
"The problem with Erebeth is here, there is more than one kind of justice in the first place, so the paladins of the God of Justice are prone to problems, because if you insist on your own justice, then one day you will collide with the justice of others. For Erebes, Vanswijk was wrong, but his heart was righteous. But to the people of Neverwinter, the abettor Vanswick is evil in his own right. So there's no point in delving into what is good and what is evil. So for the Trial Chamber, we don't care about that. β
"So......... Do you mean that justice is an unwanted existence? β
"I didn't say that......... Let's take an analogy. β
Looking at Amelia's depressed expression, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.
"Suppose the human being is a big house, then the Inquisition is the mason, and we are only responsible for maintaining the house itself so that it does not collapse and fall. But the decoration style of the rooms inside is still determined by the owner, justice, evil, chaos, order, freedom......... Whatever your thoughts are, what you want to decorate your room in, that's your own business. Unless you have dug up the load-bearing walls during the renovation and threatened the existence of the entire house, it is your own freedom to decorate the room, the Inquisition......... And it doesn't interfere. β
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai smiled.
"You don't want the maintenance staff to dictate what to do in your room, the same reason, your ideas, your goals, belong to you, the justice of Erebis and your justice are definitely not the same, but it doesn't mean that one of them is wrong, the binary values of black and white are the most stupid."
"It sounds like a hard look........."
"The ambiguous concept is like this, there is no clear definition, the goal of the Inquisition is much clearer, as long as it can protect humanity, nothing else matters. So we don't get caught up in the question of what is right or what's wrong, and we don't think about whether we're doing the right thingβββ as long as humanity survives, we succeed, and if humanity perishes, then we fail, it's as simple as that. β
From a certain point of view, the radical style of the Inquisition also stems from this, everything is consequential, not like the paladin, who is obsessed with justice and freedom, and even if he succeeds in the end, he will doubt whether his choice and approach are correct. And once you have doubts about yourself, then you will be taken advantage of by the evil gods and degenerate.
So the kind of Erebeth ......... Duanmu Huai felt that she was hopeless.
However, Emilia can still save it.
This is also the reason why everyone who joins the court can live in harmony, the goal is the same, and nothing else matters. Otherwise, if you just quarrel over "what is justice", I am afraid that it will be dispersed long ago.
And now, even if everyone's ideas, practices and acceptance are different, but the big goal is the same, then the rest are all tolerable subsections.
"It seems a little hard to understand..............."
"All in all, it's just a matter of going through it, just remember that even if it's red, pink and fuchsia are different, some people like pink, some people like fuchsia, but even if they are different, they are still red......... That's it. β
Saying this, Duanmu Huai patted Emilia on the head.
"Alright, let's go back."
As a result, when Duanmu Huai returned to the gate of the mage's mansion with Amilia, he found Kassim and Roxia standing hesitantly in place, looking afraid to enter.
"What's wrong?"
"They didn't dare go in."
Facing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Ao Ji Si frowned and said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Don't dare to go in?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at the two of them suspiciously, then probed into the portal, and then the flowers in front of him, and the next moment he saw a golden Gothic-style corridor in front of him, as well as a tall dome and decoration.
Oh, and the mage's mansion will show the most relaxed place according to the caster's memory, and it is normal for the internal structure of the Inquisition mothership to appear. After all, when Duanmu Huai is fine, he just stays on the mothership and doesn't go out much.
"Isn't that normal? Any questions? β
Duanmu Huai retracted his head and looked at Kasim and Roxia suspiciously, while the latter looked very frightened.
"No, that......... It's not like we can enter a place like this, so Roxia and I are camping in the wild........."
"What are you afraid of, it's just the mage's mansion, if you don't go in to rest, what do you want it for?"
"Really, is it really okay? The contents look so valuable........."
"It's okay, let's go, let's go."
Duanmu Huai shook his head, and then stepped into the mage's mansion again, followed by Ogis and Amelia.
Entering the mage's mansion and seeing this magnificent scenery in front of her, even Emilia was surprised.
"Mr. Duanmu, are you a prince?"
Yo, the little girl is very good at talking, I've never seen a prince charming like this. For the sake of your sweet mouth, I'll give you a point.
"Not really, it's just the view of the Inquisition."
"This is the ............... the Inquisition"
Emilia swallowed as she looked at the glittering gothic-style corridors and rooms in front of her, and she now kind of understood why Cassim and Rosya were hesitating. The place gives people a great sense of oppression just by entering, especially since the smooth floor is almost as clean as a mirror, so that people worry about whether they will lose money if they step on it and get dirty.........
Is there still such an organization on the continent of Faerun?
Although Emilia had never left the Northlands, she was still shocked by the scene in front of her, even in the castle of Lord Nashre, and ......... Emilia felt that even the king's castle could not be so luxurious and beautiful.
"All in all, let's choose the room you like."
Duanmu Huai casually introduced, and then returned to his roomβββWell, I have to say that the spell of the mage's mansion is really powerful, and it completely reproduces the inquisition mothership in my memory." After all, this should be regarded as an illusion, after all, the Mage Mansion is a spell, and it is impossible to reproduce the power of technology.........
From this point of view, magic is indeed very unscientific.
