"Why……………"

Back on the battleship again, looking at the sea of ​​stars outside the window, An sighed silently. At this moment, a voice rang in her ear.

"your Highness."

"Ah, Audrey..."

Ann turned her head and saw Audrey standing quietly not far away, watching her.

"Is Mr. Knight back?"

"The master hasn't come back yet."

"Yeah... sorry, can I have a cup of tea?"

"certainly."

Hearing Ann's request, Audrey nodded, then she left the room, and returned a moment later with a pot of black tea, and placed the tea tray in front of Ann.

"Please use."

"Um...thank you, by the way, Audrey, can you talk to me?"

"sure."

Facing Ann's words, although Audrey was a little surprised, she still nodded. An, on the other hand, sat on the sofa, picked up the black tea in his hand, and stared at the swaying ripples inside.

"I, after that, I have been thinking about Mr. Knight's words, and I have gone back and read a lot of books. It seems that the establishment of the Kingdom of Manaria... and so on... I didn't think it was important before. What's the problem, in fact, I don't think there is any problem now. Everyone is living a very happy and peaceful life. I also hope that I can be a good king and let everyone in Manaria live a better life, but... ..."

Having said this, Ann sighed and lowered her head.

"I am a little scared... this kind of historical law."

"?"

"Mr. Knight said that the total amount of matter in the universe is constant. If you have more, other people will have less. And I also know very well that once the country is prosperous and the number of people increases, the material demand they need will also increase. It will increase. In fact, I have been very worried, what if I have to do some bad things in order to maintain everyone's good life. Like this action, if we are in Regnes or the forest of elves What we need to find minerals or materials that can sustain our lives, so what should we do?"

Speaking of this, Ann's voice became deeper and deeper.

"We can ask them for help and buy from them. But what if they refuse? Just like the Na'vi people, what should we do if they refuse us to mine or buy? Do I want to watch my national living standards gradually decline? ?Looking at them from their originally happy life to poverty and backwardness? Or should I launch a war to attack and attack my friend's country? I am really afraid of encountering such a thing..."

To a certain extent, Ann is not unable to understand Duanmuhuai's approach, because her identity is also here. She is the princess of Manaria and the queen in the future. Of course, she has a responsibility to her own people. Although Manalia has not encountered such a problem for now, Ann also has such worries.

In other words, even if it is not a resource, there will be a similar situation.

For example, if a certain plague spreads suddenly in Manaria, causing a large number of people to die, and only a plant in the forest of elves has a healing effect on it, and this plant is regarded as a priceless treasure by the elves and refuses to give it away. , because it is the source of life for the elves, and once it is destroyed, it will have an irreversible and terrible impact on the elves themselves. In this case, what should Ann do?

Sit back and watch your own people die? Or grit your teeth and launch a war and looting? To kill elves for your own people?

Even if the two sides are races that do not interact with each other, as a kind-hearted princess, it is difficult for An to make such a decision. Not to mention that there are many elves in Manalia, even her friend, the student council president, and the captain of the royal guard are also elves. The relationship between Ann and her is very good. Could it be that in this situation, Ann wants to confront her friend with swords?

But if you give up because of friendship, then what qualifications do you have to become the queen of Manaria when you sit by and watch the people die?

If possible, no one would want to encounter such a dilemma. Everyone hopes that the country they lead is safe and sound, the people live a happy life, the country is prosperous and strong, and there are no problems.

It's a pity that there is no such good thing in reality. In fact, not long ago, Manalia was still under the influence of the succubus, and an inevitable rebellion almost appeared. Thanks to Duanmuhuai's timely detection, the problem was eliminated, but... the root cause of the problem still exists.

"But the master also said that this is a very long process. It may take hundreds of years, thousands of years or even longer to reach this stage."

Audrey said lightly, while Ann shook her head.

"I know, I just... have never thought about this kind of problem before, so I am troubled by it. What about you, Audrey? What are your thoughts?"

"I am now the master's maid, as long as I follow the master's order."

Audrey clearly has her own opinion on the topic.

"However, I believe that the master will make the right decision. At least... In my opinion, the master is not the kind of person who makes a decision without any consideration. Since he chooses to do so, he must have his reasons. And I also have no right to question the master's decision."

"Really……………"

Hearing Audrey's answer, Ann smiled helplessly, but at this moment, the door opened again, and then Lorena also walked in with a sad face, seeing Ann and Audrey, she was also stunned , but soon, the two looked at each other, and immediately understood the other's intention.

"Audrey, please prepare a cup of tea for Miss Lorena."

"Okay, Your Highness, please wait a moment."

After Audrey left, Ann turned her head and looked at Lorena.

"Miss Lorena these days..."

"Why………"

Lorena shook her head.

"I went back to the holy city and asked for the guidance of the great gods. To be honest, I never thought about these issues. I always thought that as a priest, I should protect people from evil and hope they live a happy life ...Of course, I have not changed my mind now, but I think that maybe my previous thoughts were too rash. I just think about how to solve their immediate difficulties, but ignore the problems they may encounter later. The problems I have come across... Perhaps, I should think more far-reaching, not only to help them overcome the current difficulties, but also to guide them to the right path..."

"Really………"

Hearing Lorena's answer, Ann also nodded. Obviously, Lorena and Ann still have different considerations, which is normal. Lorena is a priest, and she was originally responsible for guiding and comforting her. As the princess of a country, An is responsible for the whole country first.

"Miss An, what do you think?"

"I……………"

Facing Lorena's question, An was at a loss for words.

"To be honest, I am still very distressed. I hope that I will never encounter such a dilemma. Maybe now, I can only temporarily put all this behind me...... Ah ha ha ha, maybe, I am just a kind of Run away."

However, at this moment, another voice suddenly sounded.

"You really think about these boring things every day when you are idle and bored."

"Why?"

Hearing this voice, the two looked up and saw a drone hovering in the air, staring at them.

"Miss Feline?"

Lorena recognized her quickly because she had gone to the war planet with Feline's drone to explore.

"That's right, it's me. I was watching a travel promotional video, but I was rendered speechless by the boring talk of the two of you."

"Ah... sorry..."

"nothing."

Feline's voice was as calm as ever.

"In my opinion, what Mr. Knight said is very true. No matter what kind of civilization, it must first preserve itself. If it cannot survive, it will be directly forgotten."

Having said this, Feline snorted lightly.

"It's like the dragon people. If you didn't find the ice tower where I am, would you know that there was a country built by dragon people in this world?"

"Well……………"

Hearing this, Lorena and An were at a loss for words. In fact, it was true. If it wasn't because the men chasing the evil dragon Fafna discovered the ice tower that sealed the fire dragon, they would never have known that it happened a long time ago. Well, there used to be a capital of dragon people in this world—even in the classics of Manaria and the Holy City, there is no record of them.

"That's it."

Feline said lightly.

"Only the civilizations that have survived are eligible to be remembered. And those civilizations that have failed and been eliminated will disappear into the dust of history, and they may even—"never existed". Therefore, in my opinion Come on, what Your Excellency the Knight said is right, even if you are proud of what you have done, if there is no continuation and survival of civilization, your determination and spirit will also disappear with it, and no one will remember them. No one will commemorate them."

“……………………”

This sentence is too convincing for the dragon princess who has exterminated her family and country.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

At this moment, suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the girls suddenly became nervous, and then they saw the door open, and Duanmuhuai walked in wearing armor.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Looking at the girl who was staring at him, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I know what you want to ask, people are driven away before killing a few, and animals are killed and brought back to roast later, understand?"

"call……………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the girls breathed a sigh of relief. They were not worried that Duanmuhuai would lie to them. Since Duanmuhuai said so, then he must have done the same.

In fact, Duanmuhuai was right. He didn't kill a few Na'vi, mainly because the animals from Pandora planet were overwhelming. 】 Then use the [Power of Dragon Transformation] to transform it into a giant dragon, and then cooperate with the Star Forces to fight for a full day, until the mantle is finally penetrated, and the [server] where Ava's consciousness is located, then Duanmu Huai Only then did he jump down, burrow into the ground and use the black flame of "Destined Death" to completely destroy it.

After destroying the server and Ava's consciousness stored in it, the entire Pandora planet also experienced a huge shock, and many creatures ran around like crazy. Obviously, completely destroying Ava is also very important for this planet. had a considerable impact.

But it doesn't matter about Duanmu Huai. The problem is solved, the hidden danger is eliminated, and Dardanelle's company can continue mining. That's enough.

As for whether there will be a second Ava consciousness on this planet in the future --- Duanmuhuai finds it very difficult. The reason is very simple. The emergence of Ava's consciousness is because the superconducting ore on the surface of Pandora is connected to the life consciousness. These huge life consciousnesses gather together to form the server GM of Ava.

Now humans are mining superconducting ore. Once the mining is completed, there will be no network and server for transmitting consciousness on Pandora, and naturally there will be no second Ava.

As for the fate of the Na'vi people... that's not Duanmuhuai's concern. After all, now that Ava is dead, they have lost the ability to connect and transmit consciousness. This is actually like an online game. Na'vi is the player downloading the client, and Ava is the server. Duanmuhuai smashed the computer room directly, and the server was destroyed by you. If the client cannot connect to the server, it is of no use at all. up.

Even if you open it, a warning of [Server Not Connected] will pop up.

Therefore, how the Na'vi people should survive on Pandora is a question between the Na'vi people and that civilized human being. Whether to be caught and sold as slaves, or to be killed directly depends on their own choice.

After Duanmuhuai eliminated Ava's consciousness, he also received a system reward.

It's just... It's really hard to say whether this is a reward.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai opened the system and looked at the reward content above.
