"Sit down and... talk?"
Ronald almost thought he heard wrongly.
In the past, when fighting with the enemy, he was usually the one to initiate friendly negotiations. Then the two sides quickly broke down the negotiation, and finally decided to fight to the death.
Who would have thought that when facing the leader of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], this enemy who has been regarded as the number one figure since time travel.
This identity of persuasion and negotiation has been reversed.
For a moment, Ronald wanted to laugh for no reason.
Based on his own actual experience, he felt that the other party was playing a trick on him to delay time.
But when the "Divine Comedy" spell peeked into the other party's emotions and saw the seriousness in Liriya's eyes with his own eyes.
Ronald suddenly realized.
This man is not kidding himself!
Lilja Colon, the current president of the Nine Rings Secret Society, is the biggest enemy of the Southern Voyage.
At this moment.
He actually wanted to have a good talk with his enemy!
"..."
"Do you think you can convince me?"
Ronald was a little in disbelief.
His hand holding the Sword of Santa Catalina did not relax at all, and his eyes were fixed on the man in front of him:
"I had such a long and fierce conflict with your organization. In the end, you actually thought that we could be solved by talking. Question."
Ronald had something he didn't say.
——This is a bit naive.
But there was no doubt in Liriya's eyes when he looked directly at Rona. His tone was firm:
"This is not about convincing you or solving the problem of hatred." "
But before fighting to the death, at least we must truly Understand each other's thoughts and motives. We have never even met before, and we should not simply use hatred and contradiction as a tendency to act." This was so
reasonable that Ronald forgot to refute it for a while.
Just at this time, Costart also walked around to the side of the library.
The surging magic power in the maid's body surged like ocean waves.
She was ready to go, and just waiting for Ronald's order, she was going to blow the charge horn to start the battle.
Ronald was not willing to let the other party delay, and was about to issue an order immediately.
"Marta."
"If I remember correctly, your companion is called by this name, right?" At the
moment when the battle was about to break out, Liriya suddenly said the name of the Holy Priest.
Ronald's movements stopped momentarily.
The president of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] naturally took the opportunity to continue:
"If I guessed correctly, you should not be able to find any trace of this companion now. Even from this point of view - I feel that you You should have a good talk with me."
"..."
"Are you threatening me?" Ronald's face was as low as water.
"This is not a threat, it is just a statement of facts." Liliya kept his expression calm and his posture unmoving, "Besides, a serious conversation will not do any harm to you and me." Ronald fell into silence
.
It was impossible for him to disregard the life and death of his companions.
On the other side, seeing that the threat he made was effective, Liliya continued to pursue the victory:
"Mr. Ronald, I can guarantee you her safety."
"Although the relationship between the church and us has never been good, when the new world comes After that, I think wise people will also choose to give up the hatred and contradictions of the past and look at the new environment positively."
Ronald couldn't help but asked:
"What you just said-people with strength should be responsible for the world. . So what is your responsible approach? Could it be that like today, breaking into a dangerous relic that has been sealed for a long time and then taking out the same dangerous things to cause disaster? Is this your responsible move?"
Lear Ya smiled slightly:
"This view is a bit one-sided."
"We are here to find the treasures left behind by the past, and use this to open the way to the future for everyone. Danger may exist, but it is not our main purpose. "
Lollard noticed the key point in the other party's words:
"Open the way for people to go to the future?"
Lil Adam immediately answered this:
"The mysterious side of the past, especially the upper-level casters, most of them thought that mastering the spell was a good thing. A symbol of breaking away from the ordinary class. For them, this is not even a change in status and rights, but an essential division of life." Ronald continued to ask: "So what you mean - you are
not
like this You think?"
Liriya nodded immediately, and her voice became louder:
"Of course!"
"You know that five years ago, I was just a mortal who couldn't master the ability to cast spells. Even though I have considerable power now, But I understand how weak I was in the past."
"Spells come from the original scriptures. People master the original scriptures and learn the spells." "
In other words, spells are just acquired traits. Everyone has the potential to become a spellcaster. And Mastering this ability is not an essential change at all. The essence of having power is like the difference between an unarmed person and a person holding a sharp blade." Ronald followed the other person's words and continued
:
"So your purpose is to let everyone in the world learn spells and join the sea of mysticism?"
Lilya's expression gradually became arrogant:
"Of course, and it's more than that!"
"Although the power of spells will not Change the essence, but this is a road, a road to the essence, a leap that can truly realize the transformation of life!" "
The future of mankind lies here!"
Liliya's meaning is already quite clear.
If Ronald was still the person who had just come to this world and knew nothing about reality, he might not be qualified to evaluate him at this moment.
But Ronald has been to [Sifangtian] and seen the final outcome of that reality.
He also knows the reason why the Holy City was once destroyed.
But such words have no effect on people who have fallen into obsession.
Ronald sighed and simply pointed out the current reality:
"The [Nine Rings Secret Society] has ruled the southern continent for some time, but in the reality I saw with my own eyes, I did not find the changes you mentioned."
The policy implemented by [Nine Precepts Secret Society] is different from what the other party said.
This is an irrefutable fact.
Faced with such questioning, the president of the [Nine Precepts Secret Society] still did not feel any guilt. Instead, he answered in a matter-of-fact tone:
"There is always a gap between ideals and reality."
"We must realize that most people in this world are ignorant. Even if you put the right path in front of them, they will not use it to pursue a higher realm. Instead, they will Use this to persecute others and even destroy our original good plans."
Ronald's tone became cold:
"So you, as the person in power, take the initiative to screen these people?"
Liliya did not deny it. Instead, he admitted it generously:
"I have realized something."
"On the road to pursuing a better future, this is a necessary sacrifice."
Ronald finally asked:
"You also said just now that you have never had anything. Power. So what if you are also a member of the ordinary people and become the determined and abandoned part?" "...
"
Liliya did not answer immediately.
At this moment, Ronald raised his sword and signaled Costat to take action immediately:
"It seems that we have broken down."
