Devil's Journey

Chapter 126 Absolute Justice
In the cold spring night, in the dark woods, the bonfire crackled and burned, dispelling the damp and cold moisture, spreading light and heat, warming the surroundings.

In the cold mist, an orange bonfire flickered, and in the dark night gradually shrouded by magic clouds, it was like a guiding light, attracting moths.

The sound of footsteps that can be controlled is also quite slight in the silent night, and it is difficult to hear if you don't pay attention.

Julian in human form is sitting in front of the bonfire. Apart from Nana in his arms as a pillow and pendant, he is alone. Oh, and there is an expensive mixed-breed elf war horse not far away, just like a lone traveler.

Kacha~
There was a sound of trampling on a broken branch, and Julian, who pretended not to hear it, had to look up. It would be too fake to pretend.

"Who?!"

Following Julian's low shout, several cautious figures jumped out. The leader was a tall, brawny man like a brown bear. Bloodshot, holding a standard steel-edged sword in his hand.

The other three also looked embarrassed, but their eyes were full of ferocity and greed. This kind of greed made them ignore the potential danger.

"Boy, hand over your weapons and food obediently, hurry up!" A deep roar sounded, and the man like a brown bear did not rush forward recklessly. Under his seemingly rude appearance, he was not lacking in delicacy.

"Who are you? Do you know the price of attacking a nobleman?"

Julian said in a slightly trembling voice on purpose, as if he was afraid inside, but he pretended to be calm. Nana in his arms seemed to be awakened, still wearing the delicate little maid outfit, and looked up at the robbers. There was curiosity in the big eyes, but no fear at all.

It's a pity that these robbers who were blinded by greed didn't notice this. A thin man stared closely at Nana, his eyes burst into obscenity, and his saliva almost flowed out.

"Nobles? Ha, the heads of the nobles were cut off by those demons and formed into a circle, haha." The brown bear-like man said mockingly, but the murderousness in his eyes became more intense.

"That's right, nobleman, the nobleman's flesh is more delicate than us mud-legged people." A guy who looked not young, his eyes kept rolling around Nana.

This made Nana very dissatisfied, and pouted angrily.

"But this aristocratic boy is really handsome. He must be very popular with those sluts in big cities. Boss, later, let me enjoy such a noble stick." A hoarse female voice sounded, but It was a woman holding a bow and arrow, like those men, with a weather-beaten face, a strong body like a wild boar, and fierce and hungry eyes.

That's right, that 'hungry' look.

What the strong woman said made all the robbers burst into laughter, and then they laughed one after another. There were endless jokes, all of which were quite interesting, and the grove was full of joy.

Only Julian's face turned cold. Originally, the long night was boring, and he planned to tease a few more stupid thieves, but now Julian felt that torturing the soul was quite satisfying.

Just when Julian was about to show his demon body and tear the robbers into pieces, a clear voice suddenly sounded: "Stop!"

In the night, a knight who seemed to be sprinkled with moonlight suddenly appeared. Although he couldn't see his face with a mask on, Julian still recognized him.

"Stop the banditry, or I will punish you in the name of justice." The Silver Knight looked at the half-breed elf horse, and then looked at Julian, who had no momentum, with some doubts.

"Master knight, I...we just want to borrow some food, now there are demons everywhere, we really have nothing to eat." Just one glance, the bandit leader recognized that the other party was a silver-rank justice knight , People like myself will definitely not be able to defeat this Knight of the Justice Church.

As a result, the bandits immediately changed their appearance and began to complain and beg the other party to let them go, but Julian noticed that even when these guys were begging for mercy, their weapons were tightly gripped.

"Hmph, don't make excuses and go, don't let me see you again." Silver Knight first scolded a few robbers, then sighed softly, and chose to let them go.

The robbers hurriedly bowed and obsequiously thanked Sir Knight for his kindness, then turned and walked away quickly. Julian chuckled lightly and said, "Who made you go."

"Ok?"

The knight was stunned for a moment, then saw Julian stand up, took out four throwing knives from the dimensional ring, and threw them casually, the four robbers who pretended not to hear Julian's words were directly pierced by the throwing knives Die in the back of your head.

Frowning and looking at Julian, the knight hesitated for a moment and chose to remain silent, but Julian did not intend to let him go, and asked directly, "Did you choose to let those robbers go because they are human?"

"...Yes, there are demons everywhere now, human beings can't... can't kill each other anymore." The knight explained in a low voice.

"Confused." Julian said sternly: "Do you think that as long as you are a human being, you are your companion? Do you think these bandits have the guts to kill demons?"

"." The knight continued to remain silent, but lowered his head slightly.

But Julian did not let the knight go: "If you spare these robbers today, they will not change their ways. They will only continue to do evil and continue to harm other compatriots. At that time, you will become a sinner who condones evil deeds. Justice is not absolute, it is absolute injustice, and injustice is evil.”

The knight was taken aback when he heard the words, looked up at Julian in a daze, and repeated in his mouth: "Justice is not absolute, it is absolute injustice, and injustice is evil."

"Yes, do you think what I said is a bit extreme?" Julian snorted disdainfully, and continued: "Correction must be too much. All the evils in the world today are because justice cannot be fully implemented, and evil has more With more cover and evasion, those paladins and paladins who believe in goodness and justice even have to succumb to various bullshit rules, but those so-called rules are just the shackles that evil uses to restrain justice."

"Even the church often has to obey this kind of rule, which invisibly encourages the breeding of evil. Hmph, this is hypocritical justice, justice that cannot be implemented, justice that is late, and even justice that will never be seen. Is it called justice? Are you, as a knight of the Justice Church, also succumbing to such hypocritical justice?"

Julian's sharp and extreme words pierced the knight's mind sharply, making the other party hesitate and want to argue, but for some reason, he faintly agreed with the other party.

The bishop’s warnings, what he saw and heard during his travels, the hypocrisy of nobles, the dereliction of duty and corruption of officials, the greed and cunning of businessmen, and even the filth and evil that are almost everywhere in many churches are hindered by many world-wide The rules, can only choose to ignore.

Can only punish those criminals in a limited way. Is such justice really justice?

The knight, whose aura flickered around him, seemed to be caught in a fierce inner struggle.

Julian proudly raised his chin to Nana, see, the knight you admired at the beginning was just a good-for-nothing who couldn't stand Master You's babbling.

　Ah, the heroine may be a bit too much, the author should try to control it, because there is a problem with the keyboard.
