Start a core cabin

Faerun at night is just as beautiful.

Strolling along the Neverwinter River, looking at the beautiful scenery around, is a very suitable scene for confession.

But unfortunately, Duanmu Huai knew that Amelia would never find herself for this.

After all, Cyric, the murdered prince, once commented on the God of Justice in this way——"Tyre is a perverted sensualist, otherwise why there are so many people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for justice, but he is served by a group of beautiful people Gay teenage girl who never married?"

Hmm... how should I put it, the words are rough and reasonable.

Of course, players also have their own explanations for this, and it is understandable that Thiel has this hobby. After all—Tell is an old man who lost his right hand.

Well, I understand everything.

By the way, Cyric is also miserable, basically his church has been besieged by players. It's not that the players have any opinion on Cyric. After all, even if the murder of the prince is the god of lies and killing, it doesn't have much to do with them.

But the problem lies in Cyric's divine emblem --- a white skull shrouded in a black sun.

Hmm...you are being disrespectful.

If Duanmuhuai saw Cyric, he would definitely kill him without explaining.

This divine emblem alone is enough to shoot a hundred times.

But now is not the time to discuss Cyric.

"Mr. Duanmu, actually..."

Walking to the river, looking at the forest in front of her, Emilia's expression was a little melancholy.

"Actually...before I left Neverwinter, I went to visit Ms. Erebes once. Her condition was very bad...and I heard from her servant that she often had nightmares...she seems to have lost Faith, I don't understand... Who is the righteous? Who is the evil?"

"Oh, if you're going to ask that, I'll say...the Inquisition doesn't care about that."

"……………Why?"

It has to be said that Duanmu Huai's answer was completely beyond Amelia's expectation, and she looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise.

"But………"

"Originally, justice is something very ambiguous and undefinable. For example, a country was invaded by a group of barbarians. They brutally killed the people of that country, raped the women of that country, and killed Children, are these savages evil?"

"certainly."

This time, Emilia answered without hesitation.

"Then if you investigate deeply, you find that the land of that country was originally the home of barbarians, and in order to occupy this land, the people of that country not only hunted and killed the barbarians who invited them into their homes, but even used diseases and plagues to completely Eliminate them. They even peeled off the scalps of those barbarians as a reward, and all the barbarian tribes are doing now is just revenge for taking back their homeland, so now you tell me, who is justice?"

"this……………"

Amelia was speechless for a moment.

"Justice and evil are both subjective definitions of human beings. It is like a child who ran to the forest to pick flowers and was killed by a beast. People would think that the beast is evil because it brutally killed a defenseless child. But in the beast In this world, killing the cubs of other races is a natural behavior in order to prevent other races from occupying their territory. Therefore, in the eyes of beasts, there is nothing wrong with what they do, let alone The distinction between justice and evil, in the final analysis, is defined subjectively by human beings themselves.”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"This is the problem with Erebes. There is more than one kind of justice, so the paladins of the God of Justice are prone to problems, because if you insist on your own justice, then one day you will collide with other people's justice. For Erebeth, although Vanswick's actions were wrong, his heart was righteous. But for the people of Neverwinter, Vanswick, who helped the evil, was evil in itself. Therefore, what is justice and what is justice? There's no point in delving into evil. So for the Inquisition, we don't care about that."

"So... you mean that justice is unnecessary?"

"I didn't say that... Let's use an analogy."

Seeing Amelia's depressed expression, Duanmuhuai thought for a while.

"Assuming that human beings are a big house, then the Judgment Chamber is the masons. We are only responsible for maintaining the house itself so that it will not collapse and become dilapidated. But the decoration style of the rooms inside is still determined by the owner of the house. Justice, evil, chaos, order , freedom...... No matter what your ideas are, how you want to decorate your room is your own business. Unless you dug up the load-bearing wall during the decoration, posing a threat to the existence of the entire house, otherwise How to decorate the room is your own freedom, and the trial court... will not interfere."

Having said this, Duanmuhuai laughed.

"You don't want the maintenance staff to dictate how things are in your room. It's the same reason. Your thoughts and goals belong to you. The justice of Erebes is definitely different from your justice, but It doesn't mean that one of them is wrong, the binary values ​​of black and white are the most stupid."

"It sounds difficult..."

"This is the case with ambiguous concepts. Without a clear definition, the goal of the Tribunal is much clearer. As long as it can protect human beings, nothing else matters. Therefore, we will not be entangled in the issue of justice and evil. Not thinking about whether what we're doing is right—as long as humanity survives, we succeed, and if humanity dies, then we fail, simple as that."

From a certain point of view, the radical style of the Inquisition is also derived from this. All resultism, instead of being obsessed with justice and freedom like the paladins, even if they succeed in the end, they will doubt whether their choices and actions are correct. correct. And once you have doubts about yourself, you will be taken advantage of by the evil gods and you will fall.

So Erebeth's... Duanmuhuai felt that she was hopeless.

But Amelia can still be rescued.

This is also the reason why everyone who joins the Tribunal can get along with each other in harmony. They have the same goal, and nothing else matters. Otherwise, if they were just arguing about "what is justice", they might have broken up long ago.

But now, even if everyone has different ideas, practices and acceptance levels, but the big goal is the same, then the rest are subsections that can be tolerated.

"This seems a little difficult to understand..."

"All in all, all that's left is to experience more, just remember that even if it's red, pink and fuchsia are different, some people like pink and some people like fuchsia, but even if they're different, they're still red... ……That's it."

Having said this, Duanmuhuai patted Amelia on the head.

"Okay, let's go back."

As a result, when Duanmuhuai took Emilia back to the gate of the mage's mansion, he found Kasim and Luoxia standing there hesitantly, as if they didn't dare to go in.

"What's wrong?"

"They dare not go in."

Facing Duanmu Huai's question, Augis frowned, and spoke with a little dissatisfaction.

"Don't dare to go in?"

Duanmu Huai glanced at the two of them suspiciously, then stuck his head into the portal, and then his eyes blurred, and the next moment he saw a golden Gothic-style corridor, as well as a tall dome and decorations.

Oh, speaking of which, the mage's mansion will show the place where the caster is most relaxed according to the memory of the caster, and the internal structure of the Tribunal mothership is also normal. After all, when Duanmuhuai was free, he just stayed on the mothership and didn't go out very much.

"Isn't that normal? Is there a problem?"

Duanmuhuai withdrew his head and looked at Kasim and Luoxia suspiciously, while the latter looked very panicked.

"No, that... a place like this isn't something we can enter, right? Luoxia and I just sleep in the wild..."

"What are you afraid of? It's just a mage's mansion. If you don't go in and rest, what do you want it for?"

"Really, is it really okay? The things inside look so expensive..."

"It's okay, let's go."

Duanmuhuai shook his head, then stepped into the mage's mansion again, followed by Augis and Emilia.

Entering the mage's mansion, seeing the luxurious scenery in front of her, even Emilia was taken aback.

"Mr. Duanmu, are you a prince?"

Hehe, the little girl is very good at talking, I have never seen a Prince Charming like this. For the sake of your sweet mouth, I will give you a point.

"No, it's just the view of the courtroom."

"This is the Tribunal..."

Looking at the resplendent Gothic-style corridors and rooms in front of her, Emilia also swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She now understands why Kasim and Roxia hesitated. Just entering this place gives people a great sense of oppression, especially the smooth ground is almost as clean as a mirror, so that people worry about whether they will lose money if they step on it and get dirty...

Is there such an organization on Faerun Continent?

Although Emilia has never left the Northland, the scene in front of her still shocked her greatly. Even Lord Nasher's castle did not have such awe-inspiring spirit, and... Emilia felt that maybe even if it was The king's castle can't be so luxurious and beautiful.

"All in all, choose the room you like."

Duanmu Huai introduced it casually, and then returned to his room—well, I have to say that the spell of the mage's mansion is really powerful, and it completely reproduced the Mothership of the Court of Justice in his memory. Having said that, this should be regarded as an illusion. After all, as a spell, the mage's mansion is impossible to reproduce the power of technology...

From this point of view, magic is indeed very unscientific.
