The Red Dragon Emperor from Douluo Continent

"I have already understood the matter, although I really want to help Frenica, but I remember... To cancel the appointment of the attendant, in addition to the instructor's consent, the swordsman-in-training himself needs to agree.

I might help you to convince... What's the name of that senior swordsman-in-training? "

As soon as the words fell, a bad premonition rose from Eugeo's heart.

"That... is Humbert Jizek's second-ranking senior swordsman-in-training."

"Tsk, that bastard, you were defeated by provoking Eugeo before, are you playing this insidious trick again now? You must teach him a lesson next time." Kirito, who had been silent before, said with disgust.

Then Eugeo explained the cause and effect of the incident to Tijie and Ronye.

"If you can't beat Eugeo, you bully your servants, what a scumbag."

"That... Master Ji Zeke, a senior swordsman-in-training, was defeated in the competition with Eugeo-senpai, and then..."

"Excuse me... probably refers to this kind of situation..."

"Yes, that's right, because I didn't win Eugeo-senpai, I blamed Frenica on him, and exercised the right to punish him, and asked her to obey a humiliating order, isn't that right?"

Tijie and Ronnie couldn't agree with each other. Unlike Ji Zeke and Laos, who were upper-class nobles, Tijie and Ronnie were also nobles, but they were only the lowest sixth-class nobles, basically no different from ordinary people. different.

Even if Eugeo, who grew up in Rulid Village, could guess what the two of them thought, they couldn't resonate with them.

Although he was often pranked by the captain of the guard's son Zeke during his childhood in Rulid Village, his motives were actually very simple.Zeke likes Alice, so he hates Eugeo who is always with her.

But Humbert was angry because he failed to defeat Eugeo in the competition, and vented his anger on Frenica, the servant who was supposed to be personally taught by him.

Eugeo knew the existence of the word "venting anger" when he was a child. Because he was very envious of his father who bought a wooden sword from the store to give to his brother, he took the wooden sword made by his father and smashed it against a rock, which eventually broke the wooden sword.His father told him it was something he should be ashamed of [venting his anger] and he gave him a good beating for it, and he never did it again.

What Humbert did was the same as breaking the wooden sword himself, neither violating the Taboo Index and the Basic Law of the Empire, nor violating the Academy Code.But even so, is this a "to do" thing?

In this world, besides the recorded laws, there should be some important things that must be obeyed.

No, no, sometimes even taboo categories...

"I can not understand!"

The red-haired girl interrupted Eugeo's thoughts.

"My father always said this: my family...the reason why the Shutrini family can be ranked among the nobles is because the ancestors of the family made some insignificant achievements many years ago, which were appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor at that time.

So, never take for granted the fact that we are able to live in larger homes than ordinary people and enjoy several privileges.

Being a nobleman means that you must do your best for a happier and more peaceful life for the common people. It also means that when the war comes one day, you must take up the sword before the common people and die before them!

but……"

When Tijie said this, she was silent for a while.A pair of fiery red eyes looked towards the south—the center of Centoria.After staring at the majestic imperial government protruding from the treetops for a while, he turned his gaze back to Eugeo and the others.

"...The Zizek family owns a large mansion in the fourth district, and also has a private domain in the outskirts of Centoria. If this is the case, the upper-ranking swordsman-in-training of Humber should be more committed to the happiness of the people than the lower-ranking nobles. right?

Father often said... Even if there is no regulation in the Taboo Index, as a nobleman, you must always pay attention to whether your actions bring misfortune to others.

Senior Humber's actions did not violate the Taboo Index and the academy rules...but...however, Frenica kept crying on the bed last night.Why...he can do such a thing...? "

Tears welled up in Tijie's eyes, who desperately spoke out a long list of words.But Eugeo, who had the same question in his heart, didn't know how to answer her.Ronye handed Tija a white handkerchief, and she took it to wipe her eyes.

"Ti Jie's idea is undoubtedly correct in my opinion, even if it is within the law, some things cannot be done!

But...it is precisely because of the lack of restraint and the darkness of human nature that such things can happen.

At times like this... To be honest, all I can do is restrain myself from doing it.

But you have to know that what you think is definitely not wrong, and what Humber and the others did is definitely not the right thing! "

Long Cheng solemnly said that sometimes the only one who can restrain himself is himself, and he should not be arrogant because of his strength.

"You have a wonderful father. I'd love to meet him if I get the chance."

Eugeo couldn't believe that this unusually calm voice came from Kirito's mouth.

This black swordsman always has sharp eyes, and his words and deeds are quite indifferent. In addition, the competition with the former chief swordsman Wu Luo, which is already close to the legend, made the students in the same period fear him. , but at this time he looked at Ti Jie with comforting eyes, and then said slowly:

"What Tijie's father taught us was English... No, it was the attitude towards life called "Noble Obligation" in the sacred language.

The nobility, that is, those who are superior must do more for the common people... By the way, it can be called a sense of honor. "

363 What is the most annoying thing about titles?

I heard Kirito's strange words.

Even Eugeo, who had studied sacred arts for a whole year, heard this term for the first time, but for some reason, his mind could immediately understand the meaning it represented, so he nodded vigorously.Kirito's voice followed the spring wind again:

"This sense of honor is more important than any laws and rules. Mr. Long Cheng is right. There are still many crimes in this world that cannot be committed even if the law does not prohibit them. Of course, there are many crimes that must be committed even if the law prohibits them." Things to do."

This kind of denial of the Taboo Index in a certain sense—that is, the speech of the Axiom Church made Ronye and Tijie hold their breath.But Kirito still stared at the two young girls, and continued with a firm voice:

"Once upon a time, a great man named St. Augustine said, 'Unjust laws are not laws.' Not even the greatest laws or authorities can be trusted.

Even if no taboo or academy rules were violated, what Humbert did was absolutely wrong.How can you make an innocent girl cry.So someone must stop him, and the person who can stop him at this time..."

"Hmm... this should be my responsibility." Eugeo answered immediately, and then expressed his own opinion.

"But Kirito... Then who is going to decide whether the law is correct? If everyone decides without authorization, the order will be chaotic, right? The Axiom Church exists to help everyone decide such things?"

It is indeed impossible for the taboo catalog to record all behaviors that humans should not have.That's why Humbert was able to blame his servants.But just like Sister Azalia reprimanded the mischievous Zeke a long time ago, Eugeo and Kirito, who are Humbert's peers, can also persuade him.That is not the same thing as questioning the authority of the church.
