"Why……………"
Returning to the battleship, looking at the sea of stars outside the window, An silently sighed. At this moment, a voice sounded in her ear.
"your Highness."
"Ah, Audrey..."
An turned around and saw Audrey standing quietly not far away, watching her.
"Is Mr. Knight back?"
"The master hasn't come back yet."
"Yeah... I'm sorry, can you get me a cup of tea?"
"certainly."
Hearing An's request, Audrey nodded, and then she left the room. After a while, she came back with a pot of black tea and placed the tea tray in front of An.
"Please use."
"Um...Thank you. By the way, Audrey, can you talk to me?"
"sure."
Although Audrey was a little surprised by An's words, she still nodded. An was sitting on the sofa, picking up the black tea in his hand and staring at the ripples swaying inside.
"I, after that, I have been thinking about what Mr. Knight said, and I also went back and read a lot of books, such as the establishment of the Kingdom of Manalia... I didn't think this was relevant before. What's the problem? In fact, I don't think there is any problem now. Everyone is living a happy and peaceful life. I also hope that I can be a good king and make everyone in Manalia live a better life, but... …”
After saying this, An sighed and lowered his head.
"I'm a little afraid of... this kind of historical law."
"?"
"Mr. Knight has said that the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged. If you have more, others will have less. And I also know very well that once a country becomes rich and powerful and the number of people increases, the material requirements they need will also increase. will increase. In fact, I have been worried about what if I have to do some bad things in order to maintain everyone's good life. Just like this operation, if we are in Regnis or the Elf Forest The minerals or materials we need to sustain our lives are found here, so what should we do?"
Speaking of this, An's voice became deeper and deeper.
"We can ask them for help and buy from them. But what if they refuse? Just like the Na'vi people, what should we do if they refuse us to mine or buy? Do I want to watch my national living standards gradually decrease? ?Watch them change from a happy life to poverty and backwardness? Or should I launch a war to attack and attack my friends’ country? I am really afraid of encountering such a thing..."
To a certain extent, An was not unable to understand Duanmu Huai's actions, because her identity was also here. She was the princess of Manalia and the future queen. Of course she has a responsibility to her own citizens. Although for now, Manalia will not encounter such problems, Ann will also have such worries.
In other words, even if it is not a resource, there will be a similar situation.
For example, if a certain plague suddenly spreads in Manalia, causing a large number of people to die, and only a plant in the Elf Forest has a therapeutic effect on it, and this plant is regarded as a priceless treasure by the elves and they are unwilling to give it away. , because it is the source of life for the elves. Once it is destroyed, it will have irreversible and terrible effects on the elves themselves. In this case, what should An do?
Are you going to sit back and watch your own people die? Or grit your teeth and start a war and plunder? Kill elves for your own people?
Even if the two parties are from different races, as a kind-hearted princess, it would be difficult for An to make such a decision. Not to mention that there are many elves in Manalia. Even her good friend, the student council president and the captain of the Royal Guard is also an elf. An and her have a very good relationship. Could it be that in this situation, An would use swords against her friends?
But if you give up because of friendship, then what qualifications do you have to become the queen of Manalia if you sit back and watch the death of the people?
If possible, no one would want to encounter this dilemma. Everyone hopes that the country they lead will be safe, that the people will live happily, that the country will be prosperous and strong, and that there will be no problems.
Unfortunately, there is no such good thing in reality. In fact, not long ago, Manalia almost had an inevitable rebellion under the influence of the succubus. Thanks to Duan Muhuai who noticed it in time, the problem was eliminated, but... the root cause of the problem still exists.
"But the master also said that this is a very long process. It may take hundreds, thousands or even longer to reach this stage."
Audrey said calmly, while An shook his head.
"I know, I just... I have never thought about this kind of problem before, so I am troubled by it. What about you, Audrey? What are your thoughts?"
"I am now the master's maid. I only need to follow the master's orders."
Audrey clearly has her own opinions on the topic.
"But I believe that the master will make the right decision. At least... in my opinion, the master is not the kind of person who makes decisions without any consideration. Since he chooses to do this, he must have his reasons. And I am not qualified to question the master’s decision.”
"Really……………"
Hearing Audrey's answer, An smiled helplessly. However, at this moment, the door opened again, and then Lorena also walked in with a melancholy look. When she saw An and Audrey, she was also stunned for a moment. , but soon, the two looked at each other and immediately understood each other's intention.
"Audile, please prepare a cup of tea for Miss Lorena."
"Okay, Your Royal Highness, please wait a moment."
After Audrey left, Ann turned her head and looked at Lorena.
"Miss Lorena, these days..."
"Why………"
Lorena shook her head.
"I returned to the Holy City and asked for guidance from the great gods. To be honest, I had never thought about these issues. I always thought that as a priest, I should protect people from evil and hope that they can live a happy and beautiful life. ...Of course, I haven't changed my mind now, but I feel that maybe my previous thoughts were too rash. I was just thinking about how to solve their immediate difficulties, but ignored what they might encounter after this. The problem I encountered...Perhaps, I should think more deeply, not only to help them overcome the current difficulties, but also to guide them to the right path..."
"Really………"
Hearing Lorena's answer, An also nodded. It was obvious that Lorena and An had different perspectives. This was normal. Lorena was a priest and was originally responsible for guidance and comfort. As the princess of a country, An's first responsibility is the entire country.
"Miss An, what do you think?"
"I……………"
Faced with Lorena's inquiry, An was speechless for a moment.
"To be honest, I'm still very distressed. I hope I will never encounter this kind of dilemma. Maybe now, I can only put it all behind me temporarily...Ahahaha, maybe, I am just a kind of Run away."
However, at this moment, another voice suddenly sounded.
"You really think about these boring things every day when you are idle and bored."
"Why?"
Hearing this voice, the two of them looked up and saw a drone floating in the air, staring at them.
"Miss Feline?"
Because she had gone to explore the war planet with Feilin's drone, Lorena quickly recognized her.
"That's right, it's me. I was watching the travel promotional video, but I was rendered speechless by the boring talk of the two of you."
"Ah...I'm sorry..."
"nothing."
Feilin's voice was as calm as ever.
"In my opinion, what Mr. Knight said is absolutely true. No matter what kind of civilization, it must first preserve itself. If it cannot survive, it will be directly forgotten."
Speaking of this, Feilin snorted softly.
"Just like the dragon people, if you hadn't discovered the ice tower where I am, would you have known that there was once a country built by dragon people in this world?"
"Well……………"
Hearing this, Lorena and An were both speechless. In fact, it was true. If it weren't for the men chasing the evil dragon Fafna who discovered the ice tower that sealed the fire dragon, they would never have known that it had happened a long time ago. , there once was a capital of dragon people in this world - even in the classics of Manalia and the Holy City, there is no record of them.
"That's it."
Feilin said calmly.
"Only the surviving civilizations are qualified to be remembered. And those failed and eliminated civilizations will disappear into the dust of history, and they may even 'never exist'. So in my opinion Come on, what the Lord Knight said is right. Even if you are proud of what you have done, if there is no continuation and survival of civilization, your determination and spirit will also disappear, and no one will remember them, let alone No one will commemorate them.”
"……………………"
This sentence from the dragon princess who exterminated her family and her country is really convincing.
"Winter...dong...dong..."
At this moment, suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded. When they heard the footsteps, the girls suddenly became nervous. Then they saw the door open and Duanmu Huai walked in wearing armor.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
Looking at the girl staring at him, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, I know what you want to ask. I didn't kill many of the people but drove them away. I killed a bunch of animals and brought them back later to roast them. Do you understand?"
"call……………"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the girls immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They were not worried that Duanmuhuai would lie to them. Since Duanmuhuai said so, he must have done the same.
In fact, Duanmu Huai was right. He didn't kill many Na'vi people. The main reason was that the overwhelming animals from Pandora were really annoying. Duanmu Huai bombed them with light spears and macro cannons, and then summoned [Dolls] ] Then he used the [Dragon Transformation Power] to transform him into a giant dragon, and then cooperated with the Astral Army to fight for a whole day, until finally the mantle was penetrated, and he found the [server] where Ava's consciousness was, and then Duanmu Huai Then he jumped down, drilled into the ground, and used the black flames of "Destined Death" to completely destroy it.
After destroying the server and Ava's consciousness stored in it, the entire Pandora planet also experienced a huge shock. Many creatures were running around like crazy. It is obvious that the complete destruction of Ava will have a profound impact on the planet. It had a considerable impact.
But this has nothing to do with Duanmuhuai. The problem is solved, the hidden dangers are eliminated, and Dardaniel's company can continue mining. This is enough.
As for whether there will be a second Ava consciousness on this planet in the future - Duanmu Huai finds it difficult. The reason is very simple. Ava's consciousness emerged because the superconducting ores on Pandora's surface connected the consciousness of life. These huge consciousnesses of life came together and finally formed the server gm of Ava.
Now humans are mining superconducting ores. Once the mining is completed, there will no longer be networks and servers that conduct consciousness on Pandora, and naturally there will be no second Ava.
As for the fate of the Na'vi people...that's not Duanmuhuai's concern. After all, now that Ava is dead, they have lost the ability to connect and transmit consciousness. This is actually like an online game. The Na'vi are the players downloading the client, and Ava is the server. Duanmuhuai smashed the computer room and destroyed the server. Naturally, the client is useless if it cannot connect to the server. .
Even if you open it, a [Server Not Connected] warning will pop up.
Therefore, how the Na'vi people should survive on Pandora's planet next is a problem between the Na'vi and that civilized human being. Whether they are captured and sold as slaves or killed directly depends on their own choice.
After Duanmuhuai eliminated Ava's consciousness, he also received a system reward.
But...it's hard to say whether this is a reward or not.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai opened the system and looked at the reward content above.
[Complete the side mission "Pandora"]
[Task evaluation: quite excellent]
[Task reward: A new battleship appears in the mall and can be redeemed]
[Exchangeable battleship—Planet Disintegration Ship (can disintegrate planets to collect ores and process them, and there is a certain chance of refreshing supernatural events)]
…………What the hell is this?
To be honest, Duanmuhuai is very satisfied with this reward. After all, his raw materials and processing are guaranteed.
】
But... What does "there is a certain chance of refreshing supernatural events" mean?
Isn’t this a space battleship?
Are you still haunted? !
