Gold is Justice

Airl gritted her teeth, and softly called out——

"The Blue Bay Empire belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty's orders are the supreme law."

Capone turned his head, looked at his apprentice who was fighting, and continued to smile and said: "In terms of form, it is true. But when it comes to implementation, there will be many problems."

"For example, the existence of magicians."

The magic swordsman still had his arms folded in front of his chest, and said with a smile——

"The affinity of the magic element is a kind of talent, and people with affinity can exert more power than ordinary people without making much effort."

"If this kind of powerful magic element talent is endowed on the orthodox blood of our royal family, then there is no problem. In fact, in the history of our royal family, there have indeed been several emperors with strong magical affinity. Those emperors gradually developed the Royal Association of Magicians, which will make this association stronger. It is precisely because of this that the Association of Magicians is dubbed the "Royal". "

"But from another perspective, what if there is no magic affinity among the members of the royal family? The random selection method of this talent is so fair, but for those in power, it is so unreliable."

"President Airl, can you imagine if one day there is a group formed by magicians, but this group does not obey the orders of the royal family, what kind of bad results will it have?"

Arrow thought for a while, but couldn't answer for a while.

After all, this is not an academic question, but a political one.Since it is a political issue, for Airl, who is just an ordinary guild leader, it is best not to touch it.

Chapter 640 Nine Self-Thinking

Seeing that Airl didn't answer, Capone didn't mind, and continued: "So, the royal family needs to do their best to control the situation of magicians in the world, let them all register, and try not to have any slipping through the net. Therefore, the magician The group of mages is used in reverse, allowing them to help maintain the rule of the imperial power. In fact, it is not just the Mage Association, other such as the Warrior Association, the Assassin Association, etc. have similar functions, but the same, They must also be registered under the empire’s registration.”

"But here comes the problem again. Can the matter be solved just by letting the magicians register? President Arrow, you are a smart person. You should understand that this is not the real way to solve the problem."

The handsome uncle's eyes showed a bit of melancholy instead. To be honest, if the current situation was not really tense, Airl was really afraid that he would lose control of himself.After all... Capone, a middle-aged uncle, is really handsome.

"Different from those who need to exercise to gain a certain amount of strength, magicians' strength comes from 'natural talent'. This means that they don't need much exercise to possess strength that ordinary people cannot possess."

"After the royal family absorbed these members, although they solved the possibility of them becoming foreign invaders, on the contrary, it also allowed these magicians to find an organization, even an organization that could form a huge momentum. In other words, foreign invaders , but began to become an internal worry.”

"So how can we prevent this hidden disease-like problem from bursting out completely? After all, the members of the royal family are limited, but the magicians in the world are relatively infinite. Once the magician organization is due to some If you start to distrust the royal family for some reason, or even be used by other people with ulterior motives, then the threat to the royal family will undoubtedly be huge."

"Here, I can really only say that we humans are indeed very smart."

"Although there is no way for every emperor to become a great magician, we humans can form a team that can compete with magicians. This team can deal with those who have powerful talents through special training. Let these People who are loyal to the royal family can go through some hard training, and then grow into the power to quickly deal with the magicians when they riot. I believe that as smart as President Airl, he must understand what this organization is. Bar?"

What Capone said couldn't be more obvious.

Airl could only feel the corners of his mouth twitching constantly, and his heart beating wildly!

Cautiously, he turned his head and glanced at the Suta next to him. After confirming that the candidate paladin was more concerned about the battle there now, and didn't seem to pay much attention to what Capone said just now, he was a little relieved. tone.

After slowly exhaling this breath, he raised his head, thought for a while, and finally said the answer——

"In other words... the Holy See of Light?"

The smile on the corner of Capone's mouth finally rose again.

He moved his eyes away from Airl, continued to look at the tiramisu over there, and said with a smile: "The royal family cannot take the initiative to express that they want to fight against the Association of Magicians, because doing so may cause resentment. At the same time, the royal family also needs to try their best to To prevent the people from falling into the blind worship of powerful people like magicians. Because this will be very dangerous."

"Under such circumstances, the best way is to let the people have other beliefs. Only after having other beliefs, ordinary people will become a little more rational about magicians, knowing that even if they have strange They have strange abilities, but they are also ordinary people. In this situation, the royal family of the Blue Bay Empire chose the Holy See of Light, which spread on this continent a long time ago, and supported it, and even made it the state religion."

"Let's talk about paladins again. Every paladin who successfully joins the Holy See must undergo rigorous training. They need to master a whole set of magic knowledge that is no less than that of magic apprentices. From the moment they join the Holy See, they You must learn to resist all kinds of magic, whether it is spiritual or physical. In addition to exercising your own body, upper-level paladins also need to learn how to make or find qualified magic material suppliers to make Or buy a suitable anti-magic potion to improve their ability to kill opponents under the indiscriminate magic bombardment of magicians. In this way, a group of upper-level army experts who are professional in fighting against magicians can be created, and there are also There are a large number of low-level knights who can act as cannon fodder for a while."

"Moreover, although the Holy Knights belong to the Holy See in name, more than half of them are actually soldiers. In other words, they are born with absolute loyalty to the royal family. If there is no accident, the Holy See With the paladins in the middle, the royal family will never be afraid that those guys from the Magic Association will immediately rebel. This is a kind of restriction."

"The royal family controls the paladins, and the paladins belong to the Holy See. The Holy See uses the name of assisting the royal family to secretly counter the power of the Mage Association, but on the other hand, because magic is too malleable, the profits are too great. , so the royal family and the Holy See have to cooperate with the Association of Magicians in turn to use their magic to gain profits and control the people. I don’t know how the upper classes of other countries are shaped, but in my opinion, this is the history of our country It is a kind of balancing technique that the emperor needs to achieve. This is a method of operation that will test His Majesty's mental strength."

Hearing this, Airl thought for a while, and then said, "This... I more or less understand. But, what does this have to do with your master and apprentice actively attacking the Association?"

Suddenly, Capone couldn't help it, covered his mouth and laughed a bit, then shook his head, looked at Airl with a little helplessness, and said with a smile: "I thought you would agree with me. If I didn't If I remember correctly, the magicians of the association just wanted to trap our master and apprentice to death, right? Since they can kill our master and apprentice, why can't I kill them?"

Arrow agrees with this statement.

If I could, Airl would really like to nod vigorously, to show that this way of life, I'll treat you as you do to me, is perfectly normal!

However, Airl couldn't tell the magic swordsman what he really thought in his heart!

That is... If you really want to kill, then find a time and kill them secretly in a place where Pelican Town and Song of the Mermaid will not be involved!Why do you have to rush out to "help" Mermaid Song at this juncture, when Mermaid Song is trying to guide public opinion?This is no gang, this is purely causing trouble for Mermaid Song!This is why Airl is really upset!

But, how could it be possible to say such a thing?Therefore, Ai Luo can only knock down his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, swallowing the evaluation of the uncle magic swordsman about himself "just have the heart of the Virgin and don't look at the cause and effect".

"Then... Then you took the initiative to attack them, is it really just because of this?"

Airl could only change the subject and try to keep this matter from being so troublesome.

Capone smiled slightly and said, "Besides this point... Indeed, I have to admit that there is another very important factor."

"That is the identity of our master and apprentice—the magic swordsman."

Ai Luo was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it, he seemed to understand the reason behind it.

"As I said just now, the Holy See of Light and the Association of Magicians restrict and cooperate with each other. Interspersed with the mediation and checks and balances of the royal family, a nearly perfect delicate balance is formed."

"But in this situation, the internal members of the paladins are not completely monolithic. For example... people like me."

Capone's body was slightly straightened, as if he was thinking about a very thought-provoking question, while thinking, he said——

"As the Holy See of Light used to maintain balance, there is no doubt that those of us who were born in the military, the most important thing is not to doubt, not to question, or even... not to think."

"However, such a request is too difficult. As long as the paladins are still performed by humans, then we humans will naturally want to think."

"President Airl, you can understand, what will happen to the reality if there appears in this world a belief that no longer obeys the Holy See, but has a whole set of combat power against magicians?"

Seeing that Airl was still silent and did not answer, Capone smiled and continued: "In this case, the balance of power will collapse. The sudden emergence of a force may be a nemesis for magicians, but for a country, our kind The sudden appearance of uncontrollable forces is undoubtedly a destabilizing factor."

"In the days since I left the Holy See, I have actually been thinking about it. Although there are not many magic swordsmen like me, over the years, there should be about a hundred people in the entire empire. How can we do this? How bad is it for this country?"

"It is conceivable that we have become the biggest nemesis of those magicians. And magicians basically target the Royal Society of Magicians. In this way, if we scattered magic swordsmen are united one day, then we It became the biggest nemesis of the Royal Society of Magicians."

"If we attack the association, the association will turn into a state of strategic defense. In this state, all kinds of income from using magic will naturally decrease. Of course, the reduction in income will indirectly affect the income of the royal family. This is very important to the royal family. It's certainly a blow."

Chapter 650

"So, who might our presence do any good?"

Capone paused again, as if waiting for an answer from Arrow.In other words, this magic swordsman has always been unilaterally speaking, which seems a bit boring.

After thinking for a while, Airl said tentatively, "So... it's good for the Holy See? That's why the Holy See won't try so hard to arrest you?"

Capone finally had some fun again with Arrow's answer.He nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Perhaps the Holy See really thinks so. Sometimes it must be admitted that the leader's mind is not always good."

Airl was taken aback, and said with some doubts: "So, do you think the existence of magic swordsmen...is not good for the Holy See? Wouldn't it be a good thing for you to help curb the Association of Magicians?"

"Hahaha, kid, what you're thinking is really interesting. But you're a president. How about thinking about it from the perspective of a president at this time?"

Facing Capone's kindly mockery, Arrow frowned.After all... He really doesn't want to say the next thing...

"Can't figure it out? Well, I'll tell you."

In the distance, the Tiramisu, who continued to fight one-on-two, seemed to have finally become familiar with the fighting style of the two mages, and their actions seemed less hasty and more coordinated.Seeing this, Capone continued: "Although in terms of dealing with the Mage Association, we magic swordsmen and the Holy See belong to the same means. However, our goals are not the same."

"The Holy See is a means to deal with the Association of Magicians, and the purpose is to maintain its position in the empire. If a powerful force suddenly appears so that the Holy See can easily completely suppress the Association of Magicians, then the next, That is, the resources of the royal family may not be tilted in the direction of the Holy See. In simpler terms, investment will become scarce."

Airl showed a surprised expression, and he didn't know if his fake panic expression could hide this magic swordsman.

"As for us magic swordsmen, since we have undergone strict magic training from the beginning, even if we ourselves are not hostile to magicians, we will involuntarily ignore those magicians in our daily actions. After all, who would take care of their own prey? Therefore, sometimes it has become our purpose to deal with the magician itself."

"Now we magic swordsmen have no organization at all, which is a good thing for the Holy See and the association. As for the association, you don't have to think of a way to deal with the two enemies. As for the Holy See, you don't have to worry about another organization coming to fight against you." They robbed resources together, causing the royal family to reduce or shift when allocating resources."

"But...hehe, what does this have to do with us?"

As Capone's voice fell, Airl saw the playfulness and sarcasm in the handsome uncle's eyes.After a short pause, the handsome uncle's voice sounded again——

"You asked me just now, why are you targeting these magicians? Ah, then I will answer you now."

"For faith."

"I don't know about other magic swordsmen, but for myself, this is a kind of belief."

"I need to know, what is the thing I have been pursuing so hard? Why is the will of the God of Light so difficult to understand? In the end, is the teaching of the Holy See for profit or for dedication? When I became a paladin, I The oath I swore, and the environment in which I grew up when I was promoted to the Templar Knight, all of this, is the worship of the God of Light really just a means? Everything I experienced in the first half of my life, among them It's all about conspiracy, isn't there any pure faith in it?"

"I'm suspicious and helpless. My power can't find the target it's pointing at. After the Holy See expelled me, I don't know how to use my power. Who is my enemy? My friend Who is it? What can I do? What else can I do with the wealth that I have besides allowing me to live? What will happen to my faith if I don't have it? ?”

"I am distressed and helpless."

"However, in such distress and helplessness, I suddenly wanted to understand one thing."

The voice of the magic swordsman paused slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the battle over there.At this moment, Tiramisu's footsteps suddenly slowed down. This pause made the wind magician think he had found an opportunity, and immediately chanted a spell to prepare to cast a spell.But before he finished reciting all the spells, the speed of the boy suddenly increased to a limit!The long sword also scraped across his lungs in an instant, severely wounding him and knocking him to the ground.

"That's dealing with magicians. Especially, dealing with magicians of the Royal Society of Magicians."

Eddie exclaimed loudly, and quickly waved his flaming arms to drive away the tiramisu and protect his companion.And the Tiramisu who jumped away seemed to have a little resentment on his face. Obviously, his sword was still a little bit off after all, and he couldn't kill the No.2 magician in one go.

There was still a smile on Capone's face, he nodded slowly, seemed to be satisfied with the student's fighting situation, and continued: "We are magic swordsmen. Our power is born to fight against these innately possessed magic elements. In other words, our existence is the same as those paladins, to be able to deal with these talented people. But compared to paladins belonging to politics, we magic swordsmen belong more to our own Heart."

"I want to know, if our magic swordsmen continue to kill these talented people, what will happen? What will I gain from this kind of killing? Is it some kind of firmer belief? Or some kind of Balance? Or create an ordeal that hasn't been done before? I'm, really curious."

Having said that, Capone's complexion became serious and serious.

On the other side, Tiramisu held the long sword in his hand, and walked slowly, step by step, towards Eddie and the wind mage over there.

Eddie protected his colleagues, his face was full of tension and panic.And the wind magician is now holding his chest, taking out the last bottle of healing potion from his pocket and drinking it, struggling to breathe.

The long sword was icy cold, shining a gloomy light under the sky that wasn't too bad or too good.The blood on the blade dripped slowly, as if counting down the life of the prey in front of him.

Looking at all this, Arrow finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Perhaps before that, he couldn't understand why the tree of life would call this magic swordsman a power of dark nature.But now, he felt that he seemed to understand a little bit.

This kind of chaotic and resolute quality can be completely fused together in one person!Standing beside me now is not a handsome, gentle and gentle uncle who can keep a smile on his face anytime, anywhere.He is simply a lunatic who has abundant reason, but has been completely driven into a dead end by his own reason!

For this kind of lunatic, Airl knew that he couldn't convince him now.Right now, he could only restrain the panic in his heart as much as possible, spoke again, and said loudly: "Mr. Capone, can you please do me a favor?"

"Face? Interesting." Capone turned his head, with the smile on his face still, he nodded gently, his attitude was very gentle and approachable, "Please feel free to mention it, if I can do it, I will Do your best to accommodate your request."

Airl took a deep breath, as if to recharge the courage in his heart!

But even so, he found that when he was about to say these words, the fear still made his legs tremble a little involuntarily.

For this reason, the president carefully moved two steps to the side and stood beside Suta, trying to give the paladin enough time to react before his danger appeared.

After finishing these psychological preparations, the chairman slowly said——

"Can you please spare these two association magician members? Let them leave Pelican Town safely."
