Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1222 1204. Sacrifice Dragon Slayer

And this so-called "trade-off" is actually what Lan En and Iorphis want to tell Sakia, the key to how to solve the racial conflict problem.

That is - the so-called "sacrifice".

"Sacrifice" is the most noble act that an intelligent life can do.

If you want to build a city of racial equality, then for this vision, people must make sacrifices.

The non-human race must face the cruel reality. They must sacrifice their hatred and start standing with the farmers among humans.

Perhaps it was humans who destroyed their civilization and slaughtered them first.

But the current social situation is that humans are absolutely strong. In order to fight for survival and racial equality, they must "forget" their past when they were hurt.

Otherwise, if they just pursue revenge, humans will definitely have no reason to stand with them.

Although they are victims, in the cruel and complex reality, they must make "sacrifices" for the future.

At least point the hatred to the nobles among humans, and never let it spread indefinitely.

Nor can we use this as an excuse to take back what the human farmers have obtained.

Humans also need to "sacrifice".

They must sacrifice their social status, which was originally one level higher than that of non-human races.

Originally, even farmers who worked in the fields among humans would feel a little superior when facing non-human races.

But by the same token, if human farmers want to get the support of non-human races in the peasant uprising, they must give up those ridiculous sense of superiority.

In the end, everyone has to sacrifice some of their own persistence in order to unite as a whole and start moving towards the future.

In Lan En's hometown world, this is called "tolerance for the country" and "setting aside disputes".

But the non-human races in this world have a deep hatred for humans, and the farmers in this world are short-sighted, timid and fickle.

They have no so-called patriotism and righteousness.

In the process of uniting to do things, they are bound to be fickle, and even turn against each other.

They cannot be required to have a firm and courageous will.

So they can only intervene artificially and forcefully from the upper level.

Force them to maintain the results achieved by their "sacrifice" to unite.

This process is bound to be full of difficulties and even injustice, such as the past grievances of the non-human race.

But in order to cut off the chain of hatred. This is Lan En's "method" to remain silent to Sakia on the barge before.

"If you can all help me and believe in me, then I am willing to give it a try for our common ideal."

After thinking about it, Sakia said seriously.

Iorveth held his hands together and rubbed them constantly, his chest rose and fell violently, and he nodded heavily.

But after Sakia's solemn response, the face that Iorveth praised was also covered with a teasing smile.

She turned her head and looked at the most critical demon hunter in this conversation.

"Let me be the leader on the stage, and you yourself give advice and help from behind. It sounds like I am being sidelined and become a puppet."

"If we really reach cooperation based on power and interests, then there is no doubt." Lan En nodded calmly, "It does sound like supporting a puppet."

Lan En said calmly that in any power structure, it is enough to make people shudder and chill their blood.

"But are we?"

The amber cat eyes of the demon hunter stared at the eyes of the green dragon female warrior, and neither of them shifted their gaze.

"We are not involved in interests, nor do we compromise or fight for rights. Even the fact that we are sitting together now is just because our ideas are roughly similar. And we are also ready to start working steadily for this idea."

As he said, the demon hunter stretched out his right hand to the female warrior across the fire.

"Now, we are comrades."

Sakia looked at Lan En's face caressed by the swaying firelight in a daze, then smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it.

——

In the subsequent exchanges, with the help of Iorveth and Lan, Sakia was able to sort out her thoughts and had a simple idea for the future.

The high-pressure environment of Aedirn for farmers is an excellent scene for organizing riots.

But why should the rioting farmers listen to the leadership and suggestions of a stranger? Although Sakia, according to Iorveth's theory, is indeed the ideal idol in the riot.

But if people cannot be convinced and awed, then when this beautiful female warrior appears in the riot team, it is more likely that she will be regarded as a "trophy" by the rioters.

In any case, she needs to make a name first.

A name that is loud enough, awe-inspiring, and convincing.

Then use this name to participate in the peasant riot that will inevitably break out in Aedirn.

"【Dragon Slayer】!" Iorveth declared excitedly and confidently. "【Dragon Slayer】!"

"Use your true appearance to attract hunters, hide in the cave, then come out in human form and claim to have killed the dragon!"

"Just like what the Klingfeld plunderers said, few people dare to actually go into the cave to see the dragon's body. As long as you bring out a small box of gold and silver treasures and claim that it is the dragon's collection, who can say it's not right?"

Lan En said this proposal was an option, but unexpectedly, Sakia seemed to be very interested in having a real dragon bear the title of "Dragon Slayer" and nodded frequently.

Although it is said that a free city-state with racial equality is to be established, it is better not to reveal Sakia's identity as a real dragon.

Because although real dragons are classified as intelligent races in the classification of demon hunters and warlocks, they are no different from elves and humans.

However, the knowledge level of demon hunters and warlocks is an absolute high-level intellectual in this magical Middle Ages.

Can others compare? Can the average level of society compare?

Because of their appearance and long-term reputation, most people still regard real dragons as a kind of "monster".

Elves and humans may obey the command of a dwarf, but they will never obey the command of a water ghost or evil ghost.

It is impossible to unite around a "monster" and talk about equality.

And Lan En did not participate in the more detailed discussion of this plan.

As he said, he will provide help behind the scenes, but will not appear too much in front of the stage.

He told Sakia that he had some assets in Novigrad, and if he needed help, it would be fine to find the Embers or Dudu in Novigrad.

He would greet all the people under his command.

"Then we must act immediately, time waits for no one!"

The one-eyed elf said with confidence.

Seeing that his ideal of saving the race was finally starting to get on the right track, he felt full of energy.

The night was dark, and the wild rose petals that opened wantonly under the influence of chaos magic were stained with dew and exuded a faint fragrance.

But these soft scenery and fragrance could not affect Iorveth's increasingly strong will.

He immediately pulled Sakia away from the campfire and was about to leave to communicate with his remaining Scoia Party men.

Sakia complained that she was still a wounded soldier, but Iorveth said that her current injury had healed a lot with the help of the demon hunter, and the doctors in his army were enough to deal with it.

Among the non-human races, because they have lived in this world for a longer time, herbal medicine is quite popular. The overall medical level is better than that of humans.

At least barbers will not be regarded as doctors.

After telling Sachia how to contact them, Lan En and Margarita calmly watched the other two leave and move towards the business they were going to do.

"You will definitely be very busy when you come back in the future."

The sorceress leaned against Lan En's side and said with resentment.

"Who knows, when your Free City really makes progress, you will move there directly? You won't even stay in Aretusa."

"Then build a normal portal on both sides of the future Free City and Aretusa."

Lan En shrugged and said indifferently.

"How much can it cost? Twenty or thirty thousand Orens? I can give the academy a customized order."

"Hey!" Margarita patted the demon hunter beside her with her palm in dissatisfaction.

Except for some cases where Lan En was a male chauvinist and insisted on paying for it himself out of self-esteem, such as space expansion packs and making demon hunter equipment.

At other times, Margarita likes to cover all his expenses and enjoys it.

Sometimes, Lan En insists on paying out of his own pocket, which she thinks is "depriving herself of the pleasure of spending money."

Although the gap in their assets is rapidly narrowing as the Valyrian steel business conquers the steel market, Margarita just likes to spend money on him.

The demon hunter took off his leather gloves and casually lifted the scattered hair on the sorceress's face behind her ears.

The direct contact of the skin and the stimulation of the chaos magic made the sorceress tremble with pleasure.

And exhaled, making a gentle sigh that made people think.

"Maybe I will be a little busier in the future." Lan En said calmly, "but as I said, I mainly do behind-the-scenes support and planning."

"And this matter cannot be separated from the support of the academy. Even one of my major roles is to build a bridge between the future Free City and Aretuza."

The demon hunter looked down at the dean, who was thinking a little in the joy.

"Getting involved in the cause of racial equality is risky for Aretuza and the warlocks, but it also brings opportunities."

"A free city-state. Just like Novigrad, how many forces are currently entrenched in that pearl of the North? Big and small, overt and covert, don't they all want to get a share of the profit wave of gold coins in that city and expand their influence?"

"A considerable number of warlocks agree with the concept of racial equality. After all, there are quite a few of you with elven blood, right? I remember that Yennefer has a quarter of them."

"Hmm?" Margarita seemed to be alert, "Why do you remember her so clearly?"

Lane, who was originally preparing to analyze the interest relationship thoroughly, paused when he heard the words, and then looked at Margarita speechlessly.
