Suddenly asked if he would like to be a sacrifice in exchange for peace, Roland's reaction was no different from that of ordinary people, and he was stunned on the spot. If I hadn't remembered how to match Lance Roddy's dance moves, I was afraid that I would have fallen on the spot.

This is by no means a simple question that can be answered, and it is a question that has no human touch.

Majority justice.

There is no definite form of justice, nor does it have absolute and uniform standards, let alone a criterion for measuring justice by quantity. As the saying goes, "There are as many kinds of justice as there are people".

However, it should not be denied that there is indeed a "justice recognized by the majority".

This kind of "majority justice" is simple, straightforward, and brutal, and most of the time it is presented in a black-and-white dichotomy, that is, "the one who is contrary to the interests of the majority is evil" and "the one who is opposed to the enemy of the masses is the friend of justice".

Looking at the above question in this dichotomy, the answer is simply self-explanatory.

The smallest sacrifice of one person and the death of millions, tens of millions, of course, the public will choose the former, and perhaps some people will revisit this choice based on probability and human demand, but the final result will be different.

Of course, this inevitable choice is premised on the fact that the sacrificed sacrifice is not oneself.

If you are unlucky, the probability of a few hundred million will befall you, do you choose to sacrifice yourself to achieve the peace and happiness of the majority, or follow your biological instinct and live at the expense of the whole world?

With such a multiple-choice question in front of you, I am afraid that there is no one who can answer it immediately.

Lance Rode continued to speak, her voice unhurried, without any coldness, but it was inexplicably chilling.

"Yalfheim does not want to bear the charge and responsibility for sabotaging the peace talks, and if your country demands reparations, or even makes further concessions, plus the representatives of other countries exert pressure from the side. Sooner or later, they will adjust their tactics and make concessions on the Crown Prince's terms in exchange for other harsh terms. In this way, the huge indemnity may not be enough to satisfy them, and there must be a more weighty sacrifice, a condition that can make their future strategic plans more smooth. The death of the Holy Maiden who has been in the way of them all this time—don't you think there is nothing more than that?"

Roland nodded slightly.

He had no doubts about the veracity of the words spoken by Lance Roddy.

As early as in the past, he understood Li Lin's priority in thinking about problems, and after being exposed to certain information, he had a deeper understanding of Li Lin. As long as there is a need, there is nothing Li Lin can't do, and with his subtle skill, I believe that no matter how despicable and dirty things are, they will be properly arranged, and they will never let his own reputation and that of Yalfheim be hurt in the slightest.

The most important thing is that there is not a trace of malice in the whole process, it is purely just the "right choice". Therefore, as long as there is a need, Li Lin will not hesitate to take action, so that the other party will become a victim without even having time to react.

There is no choice, and there is no resistance.

A fatalistic aura descended on the young girl, and after a few hours of long seconds, Lancerodai's gaze lowered slightly, and an inaudible murmur escaped from her lips.

“...... In a place where there is no morality and no justice, where everything is quantified into numbers to negotiate deals, who and why are you going to fight? What is the reason for your sacrifice?"

A tingling pain in his chest, which was the pain of the fear in his heart, and the pain that seemed to rob him of his calm and body temperature, Roland raised his head and looked at Lance Rodai, whose clear eyes reflected his face.

Keeping eyes in line with Roland, Lance Roodle continued:

"Neither are you...... You have to be a victim of this, right? You have never been able to enjoy the benefits of the state, and no one has asked you to be a victim. From the very beginning, you have no obligations and responsibilities that you have to go to war. Even if you quit now, no one will blame you. ”

- Nope.

- It is true that no one has asked for it.

- It's really easy to be a spectator on the sidelines, to be a refined egoist, but to do nothing but just watch, isn't it tantamount to acquiescing to everything that happens in front of you and the result in disguise?

- In this case, there is no difference between it and an accomplice.

- It is precisely because we cannot accept that even resentment, resentment, and resistance are quantitatively managed, and that the whole world is completely constrained and ossified by capital and military power, and there is no hope or change in the future......

Countless rebuttals churned in his chest, but nothing could be said as they surged into his throat.

As for the questioning that was not malicious, but purely based on personal goodwill and concern, Roland could not find the right to deny it for a while.

After a moment, he replied in a deep voice:

"Thank you for your concern, but ......"

"Even if you're willing to be a victim, what's the point? Is it to buy time? Isn't it a pure scapegoat? And then what? How many people can be saved? At most one or two people anyway, right?"

"Only one person can be rescued out of a thousand or ten thousand people, so is this a failure?"

Faced with being interrupted again, this time Roland did not hesitate.

"Even if it's just one person...... Among those who are crying in pain because their loved ones can't return to their homes, even one less person is good. ”

"And then those who didn't learn anything from it will go to the battlefield again. ”

There was no hesitation, too, as if he had witnessed too many of the same things, and heard so many similar answers, that even the enthusiasm was buried in despair that would not change anything, and a completely cold voice whispered in Roland's ear.

"It's okay to reduce one's suffering – it's just self-gratification. The people you save today will probably go to war again tomorrow and kill more people. It's just because of your self-satisfaction that you end up with a greater tragedy. ”

"This kind of thing ......"

"There will be. You've been on the battlefield, and you've seen it with your own eyes. After enduring the suffering of war, people are still addicted to war, and inspired by brave and fearless heroes, people are more enthusiastic than before to squander their lives and blood. One or two offerings...... Will it be able to satisfy the bloodthirsty crowd?"

There was another emotional fluctuation in the pupils of the eyes that calmed down, and the anger that was almost boiling pressed towards Roland.

"If one or two people become sacrifices, trampled on, and ravaged in exchange for the sobriety of the crowd and put an end to all misfortune and strife once and for all, then the result is still acceptable, even if it is not worth advocating. But this is not the case, and to this day, people have continued to offer sacrifices, but the flames of war have never really been extinguished for even a day. Unless it is an absolute power like a god, a miraculous power that can ignore the rules, the world will only bleed in endless reincarnation. ”

The whispering Lance Roodle overlapped with Li Lin's cynical smile in Roland's eyes, and he had to admit that their opinions were both reasonable and correct, and in terms of results, maybe the best way to exchange for permanent peace at the lowest cost might be, but-

The right way to think of others is purely unilateral dictatorship.

This is like people found a very precious beast in the forest, in order to prevent the beast from destroying itself, people set traps to catch the beast, put it in a cage to raise, through strict and careful management, completely eliminate the possibility of the beast extinction.

In Li Lin's eyes, humans are the beasts that should be put in a cage.

As social beings, the pluralistic values and social systems held by the human race may be commendable, but logically speaking, there are too many contradictions in the benchmarks of its actions, and there is a serious lack of racial stability. In order to avoid the irreversible consequences of this instability and chaos, it is necessary to bring all of humanity under a tightly regulated system in order to finally achieve permanent peace. In this process, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable, but compared to the entire race, the life of the individual is not enough.

This is Li Lin's idea and goal.

Lance Rode Dai has a certain degree of similarity with Li Lin in this regard.

Even if it is not justice, even if it is not justice, even if it declares that it does not represent justice, it wants to realize an ideal society.

Now, I may not be in a position to condemn them anymore. After all, he himself is the same.

So—

"Thank you for your concern for me, and I think you're right. You must have had a lot of experience and insight when you can say these words. I really appreciate you telling me this, but...... I still want to correct it. ”

"No one expects you to do this, and no one will be grateful afterwards, and even those who have been saved by you and saved because of you will spit on you. Do you really think that you alone can save everything and cut the cycle of tragedy?"

"I'm not going to get to that point yet. The range of my eyes, the range of my hands, is actually very limited...... I just don't think even the ordinary fairness of being praised for doing the right thing and being scolded for doing the wrong thing is not achievable. Being treated inappropriately just because of racial origin, being treated unequally, facing the kind of fate that is obviously unreasonable but unable to resist, like a curse. I couldn't be silent. ”

“......”

"I'm not omnipotent. All I can do, what I want to do, is to be very ordinary and fair to others. It's very simple: I want to live in a world where I can make myself and others feel that it's good to be alive. This is my sincerity as a human being, to others and to the world. ”

Yes.

It is not extravagant to expect how perfect the world is and how pure the people are.

It is just a very ordinary hope that discrimination and differential treatment should not be allowed to become a legitimate law, and that the world in which we live should not be turned into a cold machine with no human feelings, only rules, laws, disciplines, and regulations on the grounds of "absolute justice". Don't use "not doing this" as an excuse to deny hope.

“...... Is this your justice?"

As the music comes to an end, the waltz, which is constantly spinning in cycles, slows down, and the dancers return to their original starting point.

"Then I'm going to keep watching until the end...... Congratulations to Charlemagne's holy maiden Martial Arts. ”

The last note dissipated into the air, and the clasped hands parted. In the warm applause that almost drowned out the ballroom, the boys and girls who saluted each other clearly felt that there was an invisible rift between them.
