Seeing the two old men's faces starting to turn red, Lin knew what he had to say. Otherwise, if they die directly because of high blood pressure, cerebral hemorrhage, etc., then they will be guilty.
"Master President, Master Beita, please listen to my explanation first. After that, you two will make comments. First of all, Ms. Tikal has not hurt anyone since she was resurrected.──"
Master Beita is a relatively affectionate honorific given to the Master of Beita by the magicians of Xijia District Branch. Just like some nobles trace their origins, most of their surnames are derived from the names of the original fiefdoms. Using a place name as an honorific also means that I recognize you as the owner of this land.
As for Fen not killing anyone since his resurrection, that's purely Lin's wishful thinking. When he ran to the mountain village and entrusted the villagers to deal with the coffee beans, while he was fighting with himself in his dream, all the incoming killers and assassins were secretly eliminated by this lich. Fen never mentioned it, and Lin naturally didn't know either.
And that's how it was said. If cheating in an exam is not discovered, it is not called cheating. In the same way, as long as the murder is not discovered, it is not a murder. In this regard, Fen did it very neatly. Coupled with her unique method of destroying corpses and eradicating traces, people related to the deceased will only think that the person is missing and will not think about death at all.
Lin continued: "─Furthermore, Ms. Tikal has experienced a thousand-year punishment. Not to mention being dismembered, her head was also hidden. She should have been in darkness and never returned to the world. Maybe the gods also I feel that a thousand years of imprisonment has been enough to give her a chance to escape through my hands. A thousand years of imprisonment, my lords, what other sins need a thousand years to make up for.──"
Although I used the same reason to convince Kaya and Halumi. But when Lin thought about it carefully afterwards, he realized that this reason for being imprisoned for a thousand years was actually somewhat untenable.
The meaning of the existence of prisons, viewed from a positive perspective, is to give prisoners the opportunity to repent and reform; and the prison authorities are responsible for education. View it from a more negative angle. That is, everyone must be responsible for what they do, even if the cost is their lives. And prison is a place where these people can waste their lives, rot in an idle environment, and be forgotten by the world.
If you look at Fen's situation from this perspective. Lin once asked if she had any consciousness after she was dismembered. The answer is no. In other words, to outsiders, a thousand-year imprisonment seems to me like waking up after a long nap. If this is the case, there is no point in being locked up for ten thousand years, let alone a thousand years. But don’t mention these words to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"──Furthermore, Ms. Tikal's actions in the past were actually for revenge. The targets of revenge were none other than the superior old gods of the past. However, a thousand years have passed, except for what we have heard about her actions a thousand years ago. , are there people whose blood relatives have been killed, who have the right to hold high the flag of revenge and speak out? No. But are there still former members of the party, waiting for the opportunity, just waiting for the devil to rise up and call out, and attack the world again? The answer to this question is the same No. It can be said that Ms. Tikal is lonely in this era. And what kind of harm can a lonely woman with no helpers or enemies cause to the world?──"
The Demon King is undoubtedly an iconic figure. But is it the Demon King that causes greater harm to the world, or the Demon King's 'army' that causes more harm to the world? If the former does not exist, the latter certainly cannot exist. But if the former exists, the latter does not necessarily exist.
An extraordinary person with no power is just a little troublesome to the people who are lost in the land, but it is not an unsolvable existence. Just like the temple warrior chief of the mysterious Lord──Shirayu, also known as Queen Yulia III. No matter how powerful she is, to some people at the core of power, she is just a powerful thug. What really makes people feel troublesome is actually the power of the mysterious Lord Church.
"─I believe that the resurrected Ms. Tikal intends to live peacefully in this era. All she needs is for us to use a rational attitude to treat her who does not intend to hurt others. But if we have to take her As an enemy, can we expect that as a lich, she will only be beaten, not fight back, and be captured obediently? Of course, I can understand that the two adults, and even other people who learned about it later, are worried about whether she who once had that identity will return to her. Returning to old karma, the whole world is once again drawn into the flames of war. So today, there are four possibilities in front of us. One is that Ms. Tikal still has the ambition to rule the world, and we misbelieved her, then the world is bound to be will fall into the flames of war; one is that she is ambitious, but we are also prepared, and the result is of course a war; the other is that Ms. Tikal really wants a peaceful life, but we think she is ambitious and takes action, and the result is her She has to start a war with us; the last one is that she wants peace, and we give her peace, so that both parties can coexist peacefully. President, look, only one of the four paths leads to peace. It can be seen that peace How difficult it is to obtain. Ms. Tikal is not a devil. Although she once burned the fire of revenge to the entire world, today she only wants a peaceful life. And whether you can obtain this tranquility, the power of choice is yours. In hand."
After taking a long breath, President Eaton said, "You are so eloquent that I am almost convinced by you. Do you dare to vouch for Ms. Tikal?"
"Haha, this is such an honor. If, President, you think I am qualified to be this guarantee, yes, I am willing to guarantee Ms. Tikal. I just want to say that if we are all deceived, even if I am broken into pieces, It won't help. Even if she keeps me as a hostage, if she is really ambitious, I don't think my importance will make her worry."
"That's true." Chengguo Eaton smiled helplessly. Moreover, Lin's long speech also gave him time to calm down and think about other things. One of the unavoidable questions is, if a fight begins, what are the chances of winning? The previous dark age ruled by the devil lasted for two to three hundred years. Even if it ends this time, I don't know how many families will be broken and how long it will be delayed.
"And, -" Lin Jia increased his voice to draw the audience's attention. After looking at everyone's eyes on him, he continued: "——Choosing peaceful coexistence is not without its benefits. Please allow me to operate the browser." Lin showed the red embroidery decoration on his hand. Brilliant level magic stone.
After getting the president's approval, Lin started operating the interface. While saying: "I sent a letter to your mailbox, Mr. President, please open it and take a look. Mr. Beita, I'm sorry, I don't have your mailbox address, so if you want to read it, you can only ask I will forward it to you later.”
Hearing this, Chengguo Eaton started operating the email system on the spot. When he saw the content of the letter, the old man's eyes lit up and he read the text intently. This kind of performance made the North Tower Master, who was sitting next to him and had always been calm and silent, unable to sit still. He pretended to cough several times in a row and coughed louder and louder, finally attracting the president's attention.
"Sorry, sorry, I forwarded it to you. Take a look, the content is quite interesting."
"Interesting?" The tower master of the North Tower commented on the president. Of course, he was even more curious. When he opened the text and took a look, his eyes were shining with interest.
After the two elders looked at each other several times and finally looked away, Lin finally said: "The most precious thing about Ms. Tikal is not the beauty that can be seen in front of her, but the thousands of years in her mind." Previous magic knowledge. The inheritance of magic has not been smooth during these thousands of years. There are many possibilities that will cause the inheritance to be interrupted due to intentional concealment and inadvertent loss. To become a lich, I think erudition should be the most basic. Conditions. And if you want to know the magical knowledge from a thousand years ago, who is more familiar with it than a lich from a thousand years ago."
Once again attracting the attention of the two elders, Lin also noticed that the way they looked at the people around them was completely different. Knowing that the fish was hooked, Lin continued: "Of course, I am not blindly admiring the magic of thousands of years ago. It must be stronger than the magic of this era. In fact, from the data I gave, magic with the same effect, both To make a comparison, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. But in my opinion, the valuable part is not which one is better, but the difference between the two. 'So this magic can be used in this way', behind this idea is to pioneer It has improved our thinking and broadened our horizons. This is the greatest treasure that this lich, who has been sealed for thousands of years, can bring us."
After changing his originally troubled face, President Chengguo Eaton returned to his usual kind smile and said, "Sir Tripwood, I never thought you were such an eloquent person. I can let you I'm convinced. But I have one question that I'm curious about, why Ms. Tikal didn't think of concealing her identity. Since a thousand years have passed, isn't this a good opportunity to change her appearance and start over?"
"The so-called secret is the day it will be revealed. Before that, I believe her beauty will bring some unnecessary trouble; and after the secret is revealed, it will also cause other troubles. It is better to let it go from the beginning. Everyone knows that some people who are not strong enough will bury their desire for her beauty. At the same time, they will not be coerced and used by some people who have mastered the secret. Of course, if the initial disclosure is not accepted, then The only option is to run away and go to other places that are willing to accept you. The world is so big, there are always mountains and forests where you can hide. And I believe that your past identity should not be the reason for how you are treated today, but your actions today."
