Chapter 142 [What is justice? 】
The combination of humans and metal dragons in the metal dragon clan is both considered a curse.
Therefore, most real dragons will not choose a human as their companion, but will choose other dragons.
After all, the dragon's life is so long that it is just a nap that it can easily endure its partner.
In the underground cave, Geer looked at Steingoan in surprise. It seemed that he had remembered something and said quickly.
"Uncle, are you talking about her? Queen of the Sword Coast, Serasha?"
The Sword Coast was once the name of the Sword Bay in Carlando. Only the first humans knew what the name was here, but this did not include the Bronze Dragon.
Steingoon nodded slightly and shook his head again. The bronze dragon's prominent emerald ball-like pupils expanded slightly, as if he was recalling the past, pondering for a moment, and finally spoke.
"At that time, she was indeed the queen of Sword Bay, but after she met that human, she disguised herself as a tower wizard and accepted that human as an apprentice, it was no longer the same."
"At that time, she had more time to transform into a human creature than the bronze dragon!"
"But I remember that human does not seem to meet the standards of our bronze dragon. In the record, he has been a robber and a thief! Shouldn't such a person be punished?"
Geer interrupted.
However, Steingoon shook his head and looked at the young bronze dragon in front of him. He seemed to remember something and asked a question.
"Gerin, do you know, what is justice?"
"Of course, justice is to eliminate all the evil, chaotic, and fallen creatures, return the world to order, so that the kind people get the reward they deserve, and the evil people get the punishment they deserve! This is justice! Uncle!"
Geer replied firmly.
When Erstein heard Gerin's words, he smiled and looked at the bronze dragon path that had not yet opened on his tender jaw.
"Kogelin, you must know that there is no absolute goodness or evil in the world!"
It sighed, supported its body with its forelimbs, dragged its long dragon's tail, went ashore from the sea, walked to the platform, and looked around at the underground caves emitting light spots around it.
Sigh.
"When you reach my age, you will know that kindness and evil are vague, and there is not much real kindness in the world, perhaps not at all."
"The little girl you rescued from the pirate may become a sarcastic old woman in the future. She will curse the nuns who give alms, the source is only because she has lost half a piece of wheat bread."
"The invading businessman rescued from the sea was actually a liar. He abandoned a whole dozen illegitimate children in various parts of other countries."
"And those who steal and robbery also have an indescribable side. Perhaps he had a wife or children who were seriously ill and needed treatment in his family. He begged the gods, but the gods did not respond. He begged the nobles, but the nobles only gave him a kick. In the end, he could only take a sharp knife and a sharp blade to make himself survive."
"Gerin, do you say, are they evil or good?"
Steingoon rubbed the dust on the ground with his tail, then sat down, and he looked at the bronze dragon whose half body was still soaked in the sea, asking.
Steingon has lived long enough, and it has passed the time when he used to be passionate and desperate for justice. Now, unless it harms a country or a city, it generally will not take action. With these time to take action, it is more inclined to bask in the sea on the waves.
It was the first time that Geer heard Steingoon say this, and he was stunned for a moment and murmured without knowing what to say.
Seeing him like this, Steingoon just smiled slightly.
"Of course, Geerin, I know that my words may have a great impact on you, but I am not asking you to show mercy to those evil men, nor do I make you stop seeing you and being unsuccessful. Instead, evil and kindness are vague in themselves, and you must remember this clearly."
"Sometimes, good people are not absolutely kind, and evil people are not absolutely evil."
Because Geer could not digest these, he could only look at the bronze dragon opposite him, speechless.
In its world, it tends to be more inclined to the stories that parents once told it.
How does the bronze dragon act bravely, how does it punish evil and promote good, and how does it leave noble titles...
But at the end of the story, they never say that the people saved by the bronze dragon in the story are good or bad in the future, and the aftermath caused by the evildoers killed by the bronze dragon has caused many families to be destroyed.
As Geer thought about it, he seemed to understand a little more.
In the story, kind people are absolutely kind, and evil people must be evil, but reality is not a story. No matter what kind of intelligent creatures they are, they are all changeable...
Before Geer could understand, Steingoon continued to say.
"So, Geerin, we must know how to be tolerant so that we can persist in fighting evil!"
It looked at the head of Gerin, who looked somewhat idealist like other young bronze dragons, broke its fantasy with more cruel and indifferent words.
After hearing that Ger came to destroy the cultist warehouse alone, he wanted to say something to it.
After all, for other older bronze dragons, they can accept evil dragons building nests nearby, or accept evil plans that anyone knows what it is. Of course, the premise is that you just don't invade its territory.
But there is a group of bronze dragons, which are like paladins. They cannot accept any evil creatures appearing near his territory. If there is, they will come to the door and fight the evil to the end!
Although it sounds good, the disadvantage that this often brings is that it is like Goliath, which is prone to die in the middle and often dies on the way of growth.
“…”
"Uncle, I understand!"
Ger was silent for a while, feeling the bone-broken coldness of the sea water under the empty cave, and it spoke.
"This is also why Serasha accepted that human being as an apprentice. He wanted to change him! He led him to the right path! Just like those crystal dragons."
Seeing that Gerin seemed to have heard it, Steingon nodded with relief and began to continue telling the story he had not finished just now.
"However, at that time, there was only a master and an apprentice between them. Serasha was only thinking about how to pull back the human boy who was about to fall into the darkness with half of his foot in front of him..."
After a while, Geer asked a question.
"Why did Serasha fall in love with a human? Logically speaking, accepting humans as apprentices does not mean that she likes him! What did he do that moved a bronze dragon? Or did he become an upright paladin?"
Geer was a little curious.
Steingoon was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Geer's vertical pupil with a strong desire for knowledge, he knew that even if he didn't say it, it would ask his parents, and he could only say it.
"No, he became a mage, and Serasha was with him because the human apprentice once picked up a bottle with the wind giant hidden in the valley, which could satisfy his three wishes."
"One of his first two wishes is to gain a smart head, just like those great arcanes, and the other is to give him a wizard inheritance that will bring him revenge."
"What does that have to do with Serasha?" Gerin asked again.
"His lifelong wish came true in the first two wishes, so he suddenly had a whim and wanted to try whether he could make his cold-looking mentor fall in love with him!"
