Atoria looked at the commoner old man on the wooden bed, and asked in confusion, "Is it cruel?"

"They killed so many people!"

"Is there anyone who doesn't deserve to die?"

The old man slowly let go of his son's hand and stared at him in disbelief.

Atolia went about his daily work as usual, undisturbed.

Is war cruel?Of course, if it's Maxi City that fails.

Was the trial cruel?Of course.After all, so many villagers were hanged, burned to death, cut in half, disemboweled, trampled by horseshoes, dragged to death on gravel, killed in front of their relatives and children... His lord earl bestowed It's really generous and elegant when others die with grace.

He is a nobleman, but also a butcher.He can let others die, so why can't others kill him?

It is no longer an accusation on Atolia that Labord says he is becoming a Gentile; he is indeed trying to be a Gentile.He prefers a Gentile who accepts him, forgives him, teaches him, and assigns him responsibility, rather than his father who cares more about what place he can occupy, and whom he contacts. He likes his teachers and companions, and he likes himself work.

He is saving people.He really feels this in his work.

Every day, so many disaster victims come to Xinmaxi City, men, women, children and the elderly. Every day, the victims are weaker and more miserable than yesterday. It is conceivable how far the disaster situation outside the city has developed. .The leader of his working group is serious and full of sympathy in his work. Under her leadership, Artoria's heart has not hardened in the tedious work. The aid sent by the industrial city is so stable and reliable, blindly trusted He also has no worries about food shortages at all. The more disaster victims he receives, the more he and others are sympathetic to people's suffering—if there are no "foreigners", Mahi City may not be as lucky as them, floods, diseases, droughts And man-made disasters, even if they have their backs to the Buber River, how many times can they get immunity from fate?

They were lucky, and that luck hadn't come from the piety and hard work of the old Mahee--maybe those fraternities and sororities who had joined the new organization were entitled to say so, but the rest were just drifters.After the panic and confusion brought about by the war passed, the old residents of Marcy City found that they were more dependent on "foreigners" than ever before. They had not directly faced the Earl's cruelty and tyranny, but they could experience some of those The feelings of the villagers who moved here: The Earl came to kill people.He wants to kill the Gentiles, expel them completely, and turn all those who depend on the Gentiles and work for them into slaves, and they are the most inferior, not even counting as "people"—"I Promise them a slave each. They don't need to be fed with any food, these are edible animals."

And it's not impossible for him to do it - if the Gentiles aren't so unreasonably powerful.

In the past, priests in the countryside taught people to be devout to gods and loyal to their lords, and that donations and taxes were their natural duties as human beings; as long as they fulfilled enough duties, the lords would naturally protect them from robbers and demons. violations; and if enough piety is expressed, the church will help a hardworking and honest farmer ascend to heaven.In the city they do much the same thing.

A person's identity is inherently doomed, and all order has long been clear.That's how the world works.

Yet the Gentiles disrupted this order and this functioning.They didn't create a new god to replace anything, they just gave people an alternative to death when they were cold, sick, hungry and thirsty.

It doesn't really matter that people didn't choose Gentiles by themselves.

What matters is that they get picked.

But if you look at it from another standpoint, they are not so much chosen as they are involved—when the soul that travels through space and time decides to realize his will, or when the soul from other The storm has been brewing since it set foot on the land of this planet, and it is still brewing today. It is still accumulating quantitative energy at a constant speed, which is far from the basic conditions expected by the designer.When the scale of observation is narrowed from the broad human society to specific groups and individuals, because a large part of the spirit of the people in it is used to cope with the rapidly changing environment, many people regard those "basic conditions" as The "ideal goal" set by leaders based on their own standards is expected but must be reached through long-term struggle. In their thinking that still retains the traditional imprint, the industrial alliance is strong enough today, and it will be even stronger in the future. This kind of strength will grow into perfection on its own, without further development or extension. It will give eternal happiness to the people in it and become the final form of history.

"Going to a wider group of people" is motivated by morality rather than the inevitability of laws, and it is not an inevitable and indispensable process of the development of things.

For a relatively long period of time, this cognitive limitation will not become an obstacle to development. The industrial alliance will use its inherent development needs to change the way people think, and at the same time, it must be accompanied by bold attempts and correct guidance. Therefore, the cloud Ask Fan Tianlan "what is the human heart".As a "person" whom he placed deep expectations on, Fan Tianlan wanted to give him a formal answer.

This answer sheet is not written on paper, it will not be some pure production data, in the city of Mahi, in the Buber Plain, everyone on this land, in the "Gentiles" came with a mission , and after starting to practice, all life and death, development and decline that happen here will be the answer to this answer sheet.

During this process, most people will not have a clear awareness of the cause they are participating in. This is a normal situation, but normal is not reasonable-normal is what happens when the law develops to different stages, and reasonable is what people Wanting to direct the development to the result I wanted, so on the tenth day after the public trial conference ended, and the third day after the No.13 batch of construction personnel arrived, the "Learning News" was officially published in Xinmaxi City.

[-] copies will be issued initially, and the content will be behind the first and second phases of Industrial City, and the distribution target will be open to everyone.

The noble son of Orbis, Herman Fergus will be one of the trainee reporters in the new Mahidol City.

Since it has been a long time, everyone may have forgotten this cutscene character, so here are some details about his situation——

"Learning News" is the first newspaper in this world, and "reporter" is also the first profession to appear in this world.As an Orbis man, Herman Fergus became a reporter by chance and by destiny.

While the construction of New Mahy City was in full swing, various affairs in the industrial city were also progressing step by step. As one of the students in the spring class, Herman, who had just finished the exam, found his name on the expatriate list. At that time, he was a little surprised of.It was true that he filled out the application form himself, but in his heart he didn't think he could come to Xinmaxi City so soon. Even though his understanding of Industrial City was still very rough, he knew that the ones who could be selected must be outstanding people. Used to quickly control Marsh City, even if the requirements for interns are not so high, his identity is more hindered than others: in Industrial City, his noble background is meaningless, but he came earlier with the ship, It took a little longer than other Orbis people who also came to the alliance through the pioneering detachment, but they still received the same education. Before the start of the winter semester, his country had to sign a temporary peace agreement with the industrial alliance because of its humiliating defeat. , his latent mission that has been revealed before it really played a role is even more embarrassing.

Even if his performance in the production team in the past few months was not bad, he was still tens of millions of miles away from being called "one of his own", not to mention that he hadn't shown any form of loyalty to the alliance.Although part of the reason is that the alliance does not test people's loyalty, and the alliance members themselves don't seem to care much about the loyalty of Orbis people like Heman, which made them a little trembling at first, but in general, their life in the alliance It's not painful.The pain of being asked to learn a new language and script and then use both tools to learn more complex knowledge is not really a pain.There are many people who learn very hard, because before they came to the alliance, they had no foundation of literacy, their heads were like a dry well, and their understanding of the world was limited to the small environment in which they lived. Even if you throw them a sharpened sickle, they I also don't know the correct way to use it.Herman was also cut on the lower leg, but it didn't prevent him from feeling superior to these people. He learned language and mathematics very quickly. Only words were difficult to grasp, but he was young and curious, and he always It is much harder for others to overcome these obstacles than him.

It's just that this small advantage is often suppressed by the patient and meticulous literacy work of the Alliance people.There are many smart and capable people in the alliance. Heman often admires their minds and hands, but they have no pride. Not only are they willing to share their knowledge and experience with others, but they never give up easily on those stupid people, just like Herman The captain of the production team I stayed in was also the teacher of the field literacy class. He always taught the slaves over and over again from learning to write their own names to being able to calculate their due remuneration.Although they are not completely kind, they also have a set of methods to toss those lazy and stubborn people, but Herman never felt that those methods were cruel, he was just confused.

Do they get any extra compensation for helping others in this way?It is true that this will make the people above them praise them more, but will such painstaking efforts make them more wealthy and powerful?

His captain looked at him like a child, "If you have to say that...you can think so, we can."

Herman accepted his statement suspiciously, because in his observation, their attitude was quite different from ordinary people's struggle for profit, and their zeal to help others was almost religious, including their words.Heman heard from those teachers and veterans of the production team that if the magician hadn't brought the light of his wisdom to the world, they would be just such ignorant people, so seeing these newcomers who came to the alliance is like seeing themselves in the past— —Heman forbade himself to think about this belief, instead he worked harder, and soon passed the exam to obtain the qualification to enter the Industrial City.

Although it is only a short term in winter, it is still an important step for him.Then he continued his efforts and successfully entered the next semester. Before the spring semester started, they found him and asked him gently: "Are you still writing letters home?"

Herman's mouth was dry and his heart was beating like a drum.

Fortunately they didn't scare him for too long, "You can keep writing, it's fine. But..."

They said he could write a longer letter now that he had established a life in the league.And in addition to writing letters, he can also choose another way to let his family and even the entire ruling class of Orbis know more about the alliance.

"Write down what you see and feel, and we'll print it in the newspaper. They'll all read it."

After returning from that day's conversation, Herman's hand holding the pen was shaking all night.

Newspapers... of course he knows what newspapers are!It's everywhere in Industry City!

Common, but far from trivial.For Herman, the newspaper he understands is not just a publication that gathers words and pictures, but also a "carrier of information". Reshaped as it needs to be, even though most of its contents appear to be fairly innocuous.

Before leaving Orbis, Herman accepted the teachings of the most intelligent people in the kingdom. They instilled in him the wisdom of penetrating people's hearts, enabling him to see through falsehoods, stick to his heart no matter what strange things he saw, and resist heresy invasion.Therefore, even though Herman failed quite a lot in his career as a spy, his will is still tenacious, unlike those foolish people who worship blindly after receiving a little favor, and abandon everything in the past.Although he came to Industrial City from the production team, he was also shocked by the city, not only by the grand dream of the city itself, but also by all kinds of people living here in an orderly manner—he had never seen such a thing. Multiple races can coexist equally in one place and work together to accomplish a cause.This majestic and beautiful city presented him with many unimaginable scenes in Orbis, but among her many inconceivables, the one that moved him the most and troubled him the most was the school of the alliance.

"Knowledge is the garden of the noble", always surrounded by high walls of status and wealth. When he was in the production team, Heman could comfort himself that literacy education was ultimately just to obtain more output from slaves, but when he faced the When the huge building that imparts knowledge equally from child to old woman, the stubborn barrier deep in his soul was shaken.

Whoever created this school is great.It's very easy to admit the strength of the Master Sorcerer and his followers, but for Herman to admit that those who invaded his country have higher morals than them, it is tantamount to betraying the country and the family. It is the bottom line that he will never back down, and he can protect it at the cost of his life.But I don't know if the alliance members have the ability to spy on people's hearts, and Herman's blood-swearing determination also has no chance to show. They want Herman to write for the newspaper, but they don't want him to express his submission to them in words.

They want neither his confession nor his praise, they only want his "truth".

What did he see, experience, and feel here?He has lived here for many months, what do he think is good and what is bad?What is right and what is wrong he has seen so many alliances transforming man and nature in labor and study?Why does he think this is right and that is wrong?He could write anything, he could write like a diary, he could write like a letter, he could write like a book, he could also write like he was representing his country.

Herman almost choked—

--Gosh!Represent his country!

He is just a small, small, ordinary second son of a not very important family in Orbis!Before the Leaguer landed in Orbis, his highest ideal in life was to complete a book of knowledge in his life, which can be passed down in the family for 200 years. Hundreds of people have read it. When he was alive or after his death, Some mages or scholars would only quote one or two of his accounts when writing their works. How could he dare to think that this weak and ignorant self could represent the king and all the nobles to comment on the alliance people?Herman shyly flinched.

But he didn't refuse.

He doesn't admit that he was influenced by the alliance, and he has changed unconsciously, but—but, if he puts aside the meticulously maintained hatred and thinks about it, even if he is only a purely personal identity like Herman, he can make his own Isn't it another kind of legacy that words appeared unhindered in the world's first printed periodical, which produced at least ten thousand copies of each issue and was read repeatedly by at least twice as many people? Name the way of history?After the signing of the peace contract, the "Learning News" has entered Orbis, and he may no longer be an outlier in a family. sphere casts its own shadow.Thinking of this, Herman's heart was filled with enthusiasm and forge ahead, but the instinct of caution and hesitation was pulling his hands and feet again. Finally, when he learned that the Alliance had also invited other new immigrants from Orbis, he Let go of the last reserve.

Herman has the honor to be a contributing writer of "Study News".

He published a total of five articles in five newspapers, and each writing was very difficult-a lot of reading (the Leaguers almost completely copied the National Library of Orbis), choosing topics with anxiety, writing hard, Enduring shame to ask for advice, revising again and again, even absent-minded about eating, tossing and turning every night, and finally holding out the finished product with anxiety.He tried his best to make himself look like a learned man, a nobleman with character and a rational believer. He wanted the Alliance to see that the Orbis people were neither ignorant nor narrow-minded. They had their own views on the world. Realize that they live in the order that is most stable to them.

His struggles have indeed been fruitful. As the first author of the "Learning News" with a non-union position, Herman's articles defending Orbis and commenting on the pioneering detachment have indeed caused some waves in the city. When he heard someone talking about his articles on the road, his footsteps always took him away as if fleeing, only his elongated ears tried to stay where they were.Even though he had already received some valuable recognition before publication, and had repeatedly prepared for doubts after publication, when criticisms and doubts flooded in, he regretted more than once that his frivolity and arrogance had caused so many troubles , This young man has never been under such a great pressure in his life. When he faced the letters from other parties piled up on the table, and he didn't know how many refutations and criticisms there were, his mood was far more tense than the one he received from the earl. mission.

But it doesn't take too long for him to regret each time, because he really doesn't have that much time. First of all, he has to study, and he doesn't have to participate in some practices, but his daily studies cannot be discounted; secondly, he has to reply.It is not necessary to reply all, but even if only to refute the views of three or four people, it is enough to occupy most of Herman's free time, not to mention that those who have been refuted by him will continue to write letters to argue with him, and some letters can be completed the next day. Sent to him, after all, the traffic in the industrial city is very convenient, some because the sender is in another city under construction, it is much slower to come, but the tone is more serious, the content is more organized, and there are many convincing examples Secondly, "Study Daily" has an issue every three days, and he will hand in the next article in at least three issues.Before he started writing, Heman felt that there were countless words in his heart that were about to spew out like spring water. After falling off the paper, he always felt the embarrassment of the poor looking for the bottom of the pot. Those heroic ideals at the beginning were not nourished by enough confidence. He was shrinking more and more, already dying in the corner of his mind, and whenever Herman's brain power was poor, those letters, those "heretics" that were also published in the newspapers would take advantage of his psyche.

The concepts he wanted to stick to could be justified in the old world ruled by religion and kingship, but in the new world opened by the magician, almost none of them could be accepted convincingly.Spiritually, the people here neither admit that they are born with sins, deny the existence of a completely detached omnipotence ("the magician says he thinks there is no, then there is no"), nor accept any theory of blood, they mock the king's most The important organ is not the brain but "the thing that can stand up"; in terms of material, in the face of such powerful behemoths as the industrial city and the industrial alliance, all "unreasonable" "not the right way" "can't last long" The discourses are feeble self-deceptions.Because of his writing needs, the Alliance provided Herman with some data that was not available in books and classes, and allowed him to personally verify the authenticity of some materials.Heman could not believe the words of the Alliance people, but he had to believe his own eyes. Many things were often scary because of the unknown, but the more people knew about the Industrial Alliance, the more frightening they felt.

So much grain, and so much steel... Which ordinary person wouldn't tremble standing in front of those mountain-like warehouses?If it wasn't for his sanity, Herman would have questioned the allies who brought him here, if they didn't want to conquer the world, why did they accumulate such insane power?And this power is still growing endlessly!

Therefore, the more he writes, the more timid he becomes, and the more difficult he writes.No matter how perfect the rule model on paper is, thought can move the world only through the leverage of matter, even if Heman can counterattack the alliance people obviously replaced Zhengxin with "magician", but think that the human soul does not need extraordinary power His support is self-deception, but he can no longer convince himself that a country governed in the "right" way can anywhere beat today's industrial federation.This contradiction is more and more reflected in his writing, his pen pal felt it, and urged him to let go of his prejudices and embrace the truth more enthusiastically in the letter; the nobles who supported him in Orbis also felt it, He was very annoyed by his poor performance, and even sent someone to open up the camp of the detachment, and sent Herman to him through radio communication to reprimand him mercilessly.Then, they told Herman that there was no need to write any more, and asked him to give the name of "Orthodox People" to the truly wise people in Orbis, and they would fight against the Alliance.

Herman was ashamed, but he felt relieved that the heavy burden was taken over by others.Then he watched the "real Orbis" fight against the economic and territorial aggression of the Industrial Federation and their ideological corruption, like watching a knight with a spear against a steel machine.

...If I can go to Xinmaxi City, maybe I can get some answers to my questions and a temporary relief.

thought Hermann.

Then the league asked him again: "How do you feel about being a recorder?"
