Infinite Bloodcore

Seeing that Chi Lai was willing to offer help to him, the dragon boy felt warm in his heart.

His brows relaxed slightly and he sighed: "To be honest, I'm very disappointed."

Chi Lai suddenly showed a look of understanding: "Is it Huantong?"

In fact, not only Huantong, but also the dragon boy was disappointed with himself.

But when it comes to the secrets of the treasure under the sea, the dragon boy will not reveal it. He nodded and said: "It is true that part of it is about him."

"Huntong is a noble of the empire and a local lord. He should uphold justice and draw a clear line from evil."

"However, he took the initiative to trade with the pirates and facilitated their settlement of accounts. The pirates successfully recovered their funds and were able to arm themselves and carry out more robberies."

"Huntong is undoubtedly his accomplice!"

"Not only that, he had been hiding the Golden Shining in the previous melee. It was not until the last moment that he took action because the treasure had left the island."

"When we left the island, he deceived us and sold us the flagship of the Bandage Mercenary Group. Next, he will definitely attack the Sufferer."

"Although the bandage mercenary group mainly fights to protect themselves in the melee, they are also comrades in arms after all."

"Huntong's behavior is really disappointing."

In fact, the dragon boy still felt guilty.

A thought lingered in his mind - if he had not taken away the treasure from the bottom of the sea and Huantong had wealth, would he have let go of the bandage mercenary group? In other words, Zidi only took away half of the treasure? Leave part of it to give to Huantong, and indirectly benefit ordinary poor people?

Along with the condemnation of his conscience caused by this thought, another voice sounded in the young man's heart: "Can you help these poor people by leaving the treasure? How naive! Hutong is insidious and cunning, and it is impossible to take the initiative to give up the profits. He is fighting in a melee. The strategy is obviously to be the only winner who takes all the other parties!"

"The survivors are in urgent need of these undersea treasures, but the activation of the anti-reconnaissance prophecy array will consume a lot of funds. The finances of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group are quite dangerous, and there is no response to the blackmail letter. The future is full of unpredictability and dangers, and we must try our best to seize them. Seize every opportunity to expand your own survival possibilities!”

"Just like on the Mysterious Island, just like on the Snake and Rat Island, justice can be carried out only by surviving. Every life has the basic right to live. What's wrong with fighting for such a chance of survival? You must survive first, This is the greatest justice!”

At the critical moment of the naval battle on Snake Island, the dragon boy had such an understanding for the first time. He not only convinced himself, but also convinced other companions to tide over the difficulties.

However, at this moment, he found it difficult to use this theory again.

Because he will inevitably think like this: "If it is just for me to take away the treasure from the bottom of the sea in order to survive, what about Hutong?"

Looking at it as a human knight: Hutong expelled the fishmen, expanded the empire's territory, and indirectly served the empire's grand strategy of conquering the orc continent. He was completely a hero of the empire.

In fact, the Shengming Empire has also issued a large number of policies in recent years to encourage nobles to actively expand overseas, especially to the sea islands between the Shengming Continent and the Wilderness Continent.

Hutong was inspired by the policy to capture the Eye Island.

However, the follow-up content of the policy cannot bring more help to Huantong, except for the tax exemption policy.

What Hutong took over was an island in the primitive stage with little development.

If you think about it, you can understand how difficult it was for Hutong at that time!

Double Eye Island is not a normal island. It has no soil, cannot be planted, has no minerals, and even sinks to the bottom of the sea every once in a while. In addition, Hutong was constantly harassed and attacked by the fishman tribe, and there were pirate gangs of all sizes raging around him.

If Hutong manages the Eye Island like a regular lord, it will probably be destroyed. Either the fishmen recaptured their homeland, or they were looted over and over again by pirates. Even if this were not the case, under the double siege, Eye Island would become an isolated island, gradually sinking into silence.

"In this environment, Hutong worked hard, changed strategies, created a business atmosphere, and allowed pirates to come to Double Eye Island to sell their stolen goods with confidence, thereby reaching a tacit understanding, allowing the pirates to stop as much as possible, and allowing space for internal and external communication."

"With safer routes and a large amount of cheap goods brought by the pirates' stolen goods, Double Eye Island has successfully attracted large and small chambers of commerce to settle in."

"Huntong successfully resisted the fish-men tribe again and revitalized the stagnant water of Double Eye Island."

"This is a strategy to survive. If Huantong doesn't do this, the possible outcome is defeat."

"If you calculate it this way, isn't Hutong also just?"

"So, is Hutong a righteous man?"

The dragon boy asked himself in his heart.

He shook his head secretly.

"Huntong collaborated with the pirates, oppressed his former comrades (Bandage Mercenary Group), and calculated the property of the people. It is obviously unfair."

"But is there a possibility that after being blinded, he will enforce and uphold justice and become the noblest type of imperial noble? As long as conditions permit, he will become a field lord full of glory and virtue?"

"At that time, were all the unbearable things he had done before just enduring humiliation, a survival strategy, and sacrificing the small justice in front of him for the sake of long-term justice?"

The dragon boy felt that he was standing at a fork in the road.

The next step is to choose which way he wants to go.

One of the paths is called "The Possibility of Justice in the Dark Eye" - for the sake of long-term justice, one can sacrifice the immediate justice and succumb to evil.

In short, I can accept myself as a "little" bad person in the present in order to become a "big" good person in the future.

"Is it okay?" The dragon boy asked himself.

"Does this make it easier for you and increase everyone's chances of survival?"

The dragon boy thought of the spies from the intelligence agencies.

In order to lurk deeper and hit higher levels of the enemy, some spies will selectively betray their own interests and even kill their comrades.

"However, can justice do this?"

"Justice can be measured from the perspective of buying and selling. Can it be calculated clearly in this way?"

"Can a just cause be weighed in such a simple way?"

"Don't I have the shadow of Hutong on my body?"

The young man's deep introspection brought about torture, like a whip hitting his soul again and again.

He was filled with confusion.

He looked at Chi Lai and asked the biggest doubt in his heart: "What is justice? How to find and walk the path of justice?"

Seeing such a young man and hearing such a question, Chi Lai couldn't help but feel dazed.

"It's so similar!" He couldn't help but sigh deep in his heart. Junqu Pavilion

It really looks so much like my old self!

Chi Lai considered it for a moment and did not directly answer the dragon boy's question. Instead, he said: "Captain, I cannot give you the most direct answer to your question because I am only one of the humble believers."

"Here, I want to share with you my experience of receiving the attention of gods and being given divine magic. Maybe I can provide you with some help."

The dragon boy suddenly became interested.

Chi Lai had used magic in the previous melee, making the golden cannon extremely powerful.

This scene left a deep impression on everyone on the battlefield at that time.

Chi Lai said slowly: "I came from a poor background. Because of my outstanding talent, I was spotted and became a member of the Imperial Navy."

"A noble young master intended to rob someone else's inheritance and deceived an inexperienced girl, and planned to use deceitful methods to make the girl lose her virginity to him, so that the girl would fall in love with him."

"My companions and I overheard this conspiracy. Even though we were strangers to the girl, I decided to take action."

"My companions tried to dissuade me and reminded me that the noble young master has a great background."

"But I didn't listen to the advice and destroyed the noble young master's conspiracy, letting the girl understand his sinister nature."

"The noble young master became angry and used his family's power to frame me."

"When I was in jail with no one to save me, and all my former friends chose to abandon me, or even gave false testimony, adding insult to injury, my heart was filled with confusion."

"Where is justice? Where can I find justice? I have upheld and enforced justice, and this is what happened?"

"Is it something wrong with me, or is this world wrong?"

"Is it my fault or justice's fault?"

"What's even more ironic is that I heard the latest news about the girl. She took the initiative to commit herself to the noble young master. This was the result of pressure from the noble family, in order to completely wash away the suspicion and stain of the noble young master and use 'pure love' To safeguard the honor of the nobility.”

"The girl testified that she counter-sued that I coveted her beauty and wanted to use conspiracy to destroy the close connection between her and her beloved."

"I fell into a desperate situation, full of despair about life and the world. I did not intend to remain in this world. On the night I decided to commit suicide, I prayed one last time."

"I thought this was the last prayer of my life."

"I thought it was the most ungrateful prayer of my life."

"I asked my Lord, what is justice? Why did I end up in this situation? Does justice exist in this world?"

"Then……"

"I heard a great voice, the voice of my Lord."

“He said: Chilai, my son, know this: Justice is on the edge of the sword, on the muzzle of the cannon, and in the heart of the heart.”

The dragon boy suddenly showed shock, mixed with envy: "God's inspiration?"

"Yes, this is the revelation from the gods." Chi Lai took a deep breath, "Although it is just a sentence, I have understood three divine arts."

"They are: Justice Soldier Front, Justice Cannon, and Mark of Good and Evil!"

"Righteous Soldier's Edge is a large-scale buff magic that can double the friend's melee damage capability."

"The Justice Cannon is an amplification of the cannon body, adding the divine power of justice, making its power skyrocketing."

"The core magic is the mark of good and evil. You can use it to mark the target as an 'evil enemy' or a 'righteous ally'. After making this mark, our attacks will be more lethal when they fall on the enemy. Falling If it falls on friendly forces, it will be ineffective. Our healing spells will get a lot of benefits if they fall on friendly forces, but they will be ineffective if they fall on enemies."

Although the time they got together was short, Chi Lai told the dragon boy all the detailed information about his three magical arts.

The relationship between people is often very wonderful.

Although Chi Lai didn't feel like old friends at first sight with the dragon boy, in just a few days, their relationship developed by leaps and bounds.

"After receiving the divine revelation, I no longer have the thought of committing suicide. Because of the mercy of my Lord, I have obtained the answer."

The dragon boy's eyes were blank, and he murmured in his mouth, repeating the content of the divine revelation: "Justice...is on the edge of the sword, under the muzzle, and in the hearts of people."

Then, the young man showed doubts: "I can't fully understand the meaning of this sentence."

Chi Lai smiled: "I was like that then, and I am like that now."

"This is very normal."

"Because we are not gods, but humans. After receiving divine enlightenment for the first time, we can understand all the meanings. This is not what we can do."

"We should remain humble before God."

"So, when that noble family tortured me and sold me as a slave, I calmly accepted this fact."

"Moreover, during my life as a slave, I worked hard to understand the meaning of divine revelation, and gradually gained a lot of insights and understandings."

"But I don't want to impart this knowledge to you, my fellow believer."

"Because my life experience is not yours."

"I believe that the encounter between you and me should also be an arrangement of the gods. The divine revelation given to me by the gods is not only mine, but also yours."

"In the future life, let's understand this sentence."

"Use your own life to realize that as long as you adhere to the path of justice, you will be able to solve the doubts in your heart and get your own answers!"

ps: This chapter is very important and has two main functions. 1 once again analyzes the concept of justice and further reveals the theme of the second volume "the redemption of justice". 2 clearly describes a node in the change of mentality of the protagonist, the dragon boy. What I wrote yesterday was not very good, so I might as well stop for a while to reduce the possibility of revision. What I wrote today is probably at the limit of my current ability. We do not rule out repairing it in the future when our capabilities improve.
