Gold is Justice

"An army of thousands of people... how could it lose to these low-level guilds?!"

"You must have a way to save me... right?"

"Come on, eat a little...you eat a little, and then you can take me...take me out of this ghost place...right?"

The eldest princess' voice was very sharp at first, full of commanding tone.

But the more she spoke, the more choked and weak her voice became.Even in the end, her voice sounded like she was begging, and her whole body began to tremble slightly.

The bread in her hand was pressed against Paladin's lips like that, and she kept trying to stuff it inside.

But Paladin is still shutting his mouth, looking at the ceiling with both eyes.With her messing around like this, crumbs scattered across Palatine's face and even hung on his beard.

Seeing his father's haggard appearance, Dak couldn't bear it, and stretched out his hand to help Rummy.

But just as his hand touched Sweet Wine Cheese's shoulder, the girl immediately trembled as if she was facing an enemy, and she turned her head and stared at her: "Don't touch me! Who allowed you to touch me?" What?! You bastard even beat your own father... you inhuman bastard! When I get out of this damn magic... I'll be the first to kill you! Pull your skin off and hang it in my In the collection room!"

For a moment, Dak didn't know whether he should reach out or withdraw his hand.There was hesitation in his eyes, and in the end he could only turn his gaze to Ariel, asking for help.

Ariel exhaled lightly, and adjusted her emotions.After the overwhelming emotions in her heart finally calmed down a bit, she opened her mouth to say——

"It's hard to take, isn't it?"

Paladin didn't speak, still looking at the ceiling.

Ariel: "Your men have all surrendered, don't worry, I didn't abuse them, they will be put in jail, and then wait for the trial of Pelican City law. Although I can't say that you don't have to worry about them, I can still Assure you, there is still a chance for them to get out of here and go back to their own families."

Afterwards, Ariel took a deep breath: "As for you, Paladin Baron Guangzhongguang, I respect that you are Duck's father, but at the same time, you are also the leader who is trying to invade our city. I cannot guarantee that you will be safe , let alone promise you that you can leave safely. But even so, I still hope you can accept this reality."

As Ariel's voice fell, Paladin's eyeballs on the bed suddenly turned slightly.

Those eyes, which used to look very sharp and even frightening, now look so haggard.The current Paladin is obviously only in his 40s, but he looks like an old man, and his energy has completely disappeared.

"Accept... this reality?"

But in this daze, Paladin still turned his eyes to Ariel beside the bed, opened his mouth with all his strength, and said in that breathless voice——

"Accept... what kind of reality? My whole life... I have spent almost all of it in battle..."

"It can be said that I have the most outstanding skills in hunting monsters... I know what kind of traps to set up and what tactics to implement..."

"I used to be...the leader of the strongest guild...Light of Heaven, and I commanded more than a thousand guild members..."

"Even after I became a nobleman, I was the leader of an elite cavalry regiment..."

"I use all my knowledge, all my strength... to forge this cavalry regiment..."

"But now, my life was completely shattered by you... by your demonic creations..."

"Your weapons can pierce my most delicate armor...but your weapons can be mass-produced so easily..."

"Your car can withstand the charge of the cavalry regiment head-on... and that car seems to be mass-produced..."

"Our magic can't hurt those cars...but your weapon's destructive power is better than some powerful fire magic..."

"Are you telling me to accept this reality?"

"Accept this... fact that I've been completely... worthless...?"

Ariel was silent.

She just stared silently at the old man in front of her... This man seemed to be completely out of touch with the times, his eyes were full of unwillingness, but all the pride and dignity of the past were completely shattered, not even a little scum left old man.

At this moment, what should Ariel say?

comfort him?Or provoke him?

Ariel has personally tasted what it feels like to have her own life and all previous efforts completely denied.The only difference is that she is still young and has the opportunity to adjust her life goals and start over.

But the old man in front of him, his most proud life has been completely destroyed. Judging from his age, it seems that he has no chance to start over...

Seeing that Ariel was still silent, Paladin finally retracted his gaze slowly and closed his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he finally murmured: "Please... kill me. At least, please give me a... honorable death..."

"Father! Please don't say such things!"

Before Ariel could respond, Duck was a little anxious.Also anxious, there is the rum cheese next to it——

"How is this possible? You still want to rescue me! This must be your plan, right? You must have a way to contact Brother Huang, right?!"

It's just that Paladin didn't say a word to the call of these two young people, but closed his eyes silently.

Regarding this, Ariel finally waved her hand to make the two of them quiet down first.Afterwards, he said: "Paladin, I don't want to make things too ugly. Besides, it is a pity that you died like this. I will give you a chance to surrender to me. If you are willing to surrender, then we are still There are a lot of things to talk about. Of course, I don’t ask you to give an answer right now, during this period you should recover from your injuries first, and we will consider this issue later.”

Hearing that Ariel was willing to let Paladin die, Duck immediately showed a relaxed expression.He nodded at Ariel, finally stood up slowly, and began to clean the crumbs from Palatine's beard and quilt.

Seeing that Paladin didn't reply anymore, Ariel finally walked out of the room and went to the corridor on the second floor outside.

After holding on to the handrail and letting out a little breath, she nodded slightly and walked towards the first floor.But when she arrived on the first floor, she saw Tesla, who could be said to be the biggest hero in this battle, walking towards the rear with a pile of blueprints in his arms.

"Tesla, why do you look so anxious?"

Following Tesla into the back of the guild, he saw in the design room that the assembler had neatly placed all those blueprints on the shelf over there.

Hearing Ariel's question, Tesla turned around excitedly and said: "President! Those blueprints... are all back now! Hahaha, great! I thought these things would say goodbye to me completely What! Even though I have copies of them all, the originals still look better and cuter!"

Ariel glanced at the various design drawings on the shelves around the design room, shrugged slightly, and said with a smile: "Then, congratulations first. But Tesla, although today's battle It just ended, so it should be time to celebrate. But on my side..."

Before Ariel finished speaking, Tesla's originally happy expression immediately became serious, and he nodded seriously: "I know, the problem with the elemental spear and the elemental giant gun seems to be more serious than I imagined."

The first thousand and 380 six chapters everything is fine

Ariel exhaled, nodded, and said, "Yes, the problem is serious. Do you have any ideas?"

Tesla nodded without hesitation, then took a design drawing of the elemental gun from the shelf and spread it out on the table, while taking out a pen and gesticulating on it, he said——

"During the battle this morning, the total number of shots fired by each gun was no more than ten times. The most fired twelve shots, and the least fired only four shots."

"It seems that we defeated the cavalry army, but after this battle, many of our elemental guns have melted barrels, swollen finger buckles, and cracks near the muzzle."

"In addition to the three elemental giant guns, they are just as I expected. They are experimental products. Not only can the shooting distance not be adjusted well, but they are completely unusable after only firing three times."

"President, if you really want to say it, today's battle can only be regarded as our luck. But you have to know that luck cannot always be on our side. These elemental guns seem to be too good now. It is too simple, and the speed of reloading bullets is too slow, it takes almost 30 seconds to reload, which is really an unstable factor for the ever-changing battlefield."

Naturally, Ariel also saw these situations, after all, she was also standing on the front line, raising the elemental gun in her hand to aim at the knights outside.

However, after firing the first shot, her body was immediately shocked by the reaction force when the elemental gun fired, and she fell to the ground. The barrel in her hand was also aimed at the sky, and her shoulders were almost dislocated. Not to mention killing enemies.

Thinking of the scene where she was knocked back during the day, Ariel rubbed her shoulders again, and said, "And the power of the shock is really too great. I can't even hold the barrel of the gun, and I even need two people to work together at the end." To be able to block that force. This also needs to be adjusted."

Tesla nodded again, picked up the pen and kept trying to modify the design drawings of the elemental gun.While revising, he said——

"President, I'm actually very happy."

Ariel was slightly taken aback, and said, "Happy? Glad that the weapon you designed was recognized?"

Regarding this, Tesla was slightly silent for a while, and then he did not raise his head, but continued to say——

"Can I...can I tell the truth?"

Ariel: "Of course. Tell me."

Tesla added a very wide and thick section to the tail of the elemental gun, and it seemed that he had added a lot of soft lining designs, and continued——

"I'm happy... my design can finally be approved. Or to be more precise... it's the killing weapon I envisioned. It has really become a very powerful killing weapon. The people it kills The more, the more it proves that my design idea is correct..."

"President, I never had such an idea before. Even when you just asked me to study the elemental gun, I thought it was a terrible thing for me to design a weapon for killing people. My There will still be some conflicts in my heart..."

"But now, I'm looking forward to better improving the killing weapon in my hand, so that the holder can kill better."

"I...Although I have been secretly telling myself that I am not crazy, I am still a normal person. But..."

Having said that, Tesla finally raised his head, looked at Ariel, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and said slowly——

"Am I really... not crazy? Did I unknowingly become a murderous lunatic? I became a... I feel that I can prove my strength by killing people... Am I also Become that kind of scary person?"

Looking at the confusion in Tesla's eyes, Ariel also put away the smile on her face.

She lowered her head and glanced at the design drawing of the elemental gun again. Every line, every formula, and every idea on it were worked hard by the assembler in front of her and other designers in Pelican City. results.

However, the elemental gun is used to kill people, which cannot be refuted.It's no wonder that this weapon master, who once embraced the assembler who made the world a better place, now comes to design this weapon that can kill people more easily, is no wonder he feels confused.

but……

Ariel would not.

"You're not a lunatic. I can assure you of that."

Ariel stretched out her hand, patted Tesla's shoulder lightly, and continued—

"You may indeed be confused and feel that you are indirectly becoming an executioner."

"But I want to tell you that designing a weapon does not mean that you have become an executioner, nor does it mean how bloodthirsty you are. Designing a weapon itself is not a terrible thing, and this thing itself should not have anything to do with anyone. 'evil' on the hook."

"If designing any weapon in this world is evil, then we humans should still be throwing stones at each other, waving branches at each other, and even smearing our enemies' faces with our own excrement."

"If you think that the existence of weapons in this world is a crime, then after the war of sealing the demon king, we humans will be gradually wiped out by those runaway monsters, and the current Golden Continent will become the world of those runaway monsters. It may be extinct, even if it is not extinct, it can only hide in the dark underground or in caves, living on its last breath."

"Designing a weapon is not a crime. Even if the weapon is designed to kill people, the designer has absolutely nothing wrong with it."

At this point, Ariel withdrew her hand, walked slowly in the design room with her hands behind her back, and said slowly——

"Just imagine, if there is no elemental gun designed by you and many designers today, those cavalry regiments will easily attack Pelican City. At that time, how will those cavalry treat us?"

"Will it be like we treat them now, just lock them up, feed and drink every day, and wait for sentencing at the end?"

"will not."

"Even in this remote Pelican City, you should have heard that those terrible cavalry regiments are constantly slaughtering any peasants who dare to resist in the name of suppressing bandits."

"Many villages or small towns have disappeared under the atrocities of those iron hoofs. Those peasants just don't have enough to eat and want a bite to eat. As a result, they will be mercilessly merciless by the well-equipped heavy cavalry run over your face."

"If we in Pelican City don't have such weapons, then the heavy cavalry will do to us what they always do. They will slaughter us, they will loot our wealth, they will rape (harmony) The women in the prostitute city. Especially me, I am afraid that my end will be a hundred times more miserable than what you expected."

"So, do you now understand why you want to design weapons? And, do you understand why you want to design better, higher-performance weapons that can kill more people more simply and conveniently?"

With these words, the confusion in Tesla's eyes gradually dissipated.

He lowered his head and looked at the design drawing of the elemental gun on the table again. He looked at the geometric figures that had been adjusted in various ways on the drawing, and finally turned into a weapon that existed in reality and could be practically used. .

At this moment, Tesla finally felt enlightened. He nodded solemnly and said, "Because we want to protect ourselves... those enemies are like tyrannical beasts. If you doubt, then when those enemies come to slaughter us, they will not have mercy on us."
