Chapter 53: Unreasonable

Char's words were cruel and deeply impacted the worldview of Arthur, a ten-year-old boy.

He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, his hair stood on end, and his body trembled slightly.

Alicia was also silent, because, she knew, Char was talking about a naked reality.

"Why is this happening?" Arthur asked again, his voice trembling in disbelief.

"Part of it was a natural choice." Char said.

"In nature, there is a set of rules that will keep the world going for a long time.

For example, sheep eat grass, wolves eat sheep, and if there are no sheep on the grassland, then weeds will grow wildly and take away nutrients from the rest of the plants.

Conversely, if there are no wolves left on the grassland, the sheep population will get out of control until the grass on the grassland is eaten up, and the land becomes barren.

Then, the sheep will gradually die out due to the lack of food.

And if there are more sheep on the grassland, there will be more wolves, and conversely, if there are fewer sheep on the grassland, the wolves will also decrease due to the lack of food.

Several will be maintained in a reasonable balance, providing a circular rationale for the world.

There are many more such relationships in nature, which I call the food chain.

Of course, this is only one part of the vast biosphere created by nature over hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

However, there is such an animal that somehow breaks this cycle. ”

Arthur was smart, he quickly figured it out and said, "Human? ”

Char nodded, "Since humans have made and learned to use tools, they have relied on their wisdom to defeat all the beasts of prey, standing at the top of the food chain, and no animal can stop their growth.

But human beings have not completely departed from this world and jumped out of the iron rules of nature.

Humans have no natural predators, and in the end, it will evolve into another result...."

"There are so many human beings that there is not enough food to eat." Arthur lost his mind.

Char smiled, "So, for the continuation of humanity, there must be something that can allow humanity to re-enter the circle of the cycle.

But in this world, only human beings themselves can fight against human beings.

So, the war arose. ”

Looking at Arthur, who was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Char's words continued.

"Of course, this is only the reason why the war will exist, not the reason why this war will appear.

In fact, in many cases, many wars have been fought when resources are still abundant.

This can be said to be a plan for a rainy day, to prevent the future, but it can also be said to be because of the greed of human nature. ”

"Human greed?" Arthur looked up at Char.

"Human beings are an animal that will never be satisfied, because desires are endless."

Char stared into Arthur's eyes.

"After having great wealth, people will only want to have more great wealth, and after owning a piece of land, they will only want to have a bigger land.

Desire is a double-edged sword, it provides an upward impetus for human beings to develop civilization, but at the same time, it also leads to all this you see. ”

Arthur looked around in distraction, and then he said, "I won't do that. ”

"Of course, human nature is complex." "That's the most elusive and difficult thing in the world to identify."

You can see in people the most selfless good, but you can also see the most vile evil. ”

Arthur's face showed a slightly confused look, "I.... I don't understand. ”

"You'll understand later." Char said patiently.

"We can get back to the topic."

Char watched him quietly, and after a moment, he said.

"Do you think that's reasonable?"

Arthur turned his head sharply and said excitedly, "It must be unreasonable!" Why can you deprive others of their lives at will in order to satisfy yourself! ”

"Good."

Char's eyelids narrowed slightly, and her cheeks lifted slightly, revealing a smile.

"There are some people in this world who always have some words on their lips such as existence is reasonable.

They accept all the injustice and darkness in this world, and even take the world for granted.

I'm glad you're not that kind of person. ”

Char pondered for a moment.

"A long time ago, human beings were unclothed, they drank blood, and civilization did not exist.

But because they wanted to keep warm, they invented clothing.

Wanting shelter from the elements, they built houses.

Wanting to heal their wounded companions, they invented the art of medicine.

They also felt that it was not right to kill people or steal other people's finances, so they created the law.

It can be said that the development of human civilization has been created by people who feel that it is "unreasonable".

To exist is to be reasonable, which means to deny the progress of civilization. ”

Arthur nodded a little incomprehensibly.

Char asked, staring at Arthur.

"So, do you want to change that?"

Char's words seemed to have a magical effect, which made Arthur's heart beat slightly faster, and he opened his eyes slightly, but then, he said with some unconfidence.

"I.... May I? ”

"You can."

Char said seriously.

"You have the ability and the opportunity."

"But I don't know what to do..."

Suddenly, Arthur seemed to think of something, he looked at Char, and said longingly.

"Can you teach me!?"

The corners of Char's mouth raised an imperceptible arc, but he didn't answer, but said.

"Let's go in, this town, we can't stay any longer."

But Arthur didn't respond, but knelt down in front of Char, put his head on the ground, and said firmly.

"Please teach me how to change this!"

Char lowered his eyes and quietly looked at Arthur kneeling in front of him, as if his body was trembling slightly because of the blowing of the sea breeze and because the fear just now had not subsided.

"Do you want to learn everything in an instant?" Char teased, "I can't do it." ”

Hearing this, Arthur raised his head and said excitedly, "You agreed?" ”

"I have a lot of time." Char said, "I don't mind finding something to do for fun." ”

He looked at Arthur, "That might be a blessing, though." ”

"As long as this kind of thing doesn't happen again, I'm not afraid of any hardship!" Arthur said, his eyes and tone determined.

Char didn't answer, but continued, "Go in, your kitten is scared to death." ”

The boy's oath always comes easily, but whether it can really go to the end still depends on time to prove.

Arthur came back to his senses, because Sonny was holding him dead at the moment because of the round of shelling just now, shaking constantly.

Arthur hurriedly picked up Sonny, gently stroked it to comfort him, and led him into the house.

Perhaps because of Cassifer's presence inside, the house outside the castle is still intact.

Alicia watched all this quietly from the side, and she didn't interject when Char was educating Arthur, and when Arthur went in, she spoke.

"You gave him an unattainable ideal."

Alicia looked at the burning flames around her with deep eyes, "His Majesty Moria once wanted to change, but he gave his life and his love, but he couldn't do anything. ”

"The difference between an ideal and a utopian dream is that an ideal is difficult to achieve, whereas a utopian dream is unattainable.

The world is always built by idealists, isn't it? ”
