Chapter 272 Xia An's Fifth Kind of Justice
"Do not--!"

Looking at the black air that shot straight into the sky in the light curtain, Prince Bellino beat his chest and stamped his feet on the terrace of the central castle of the Holy Light Castle: "God damn Li Qi Player! He actually joined hands with the paladins!"

The light curtain was propped up by the magician Federico, who was very surprised: "It has nothing to do with Prior, this Xia An is too scary, I think he has probably reached level nine. Our arrangement is completely useless, his performance before It's all about acting."

Truk said with a dark face: "Of course it has something to do with Prior. Compared with Xia En, it is much easier to deal with him."

"Against Prior?"

Federico sneered: "He doesn't have such a strong personal combat power, but he has a legion!"

"Federick! Don't think that you have been shrinking back all the time, and the affairs of the Holy Light Castle have nothing to do with you!"

Truk said violently: "Now that another god corpse mine has been destroyed, we can't explain it to the higher-ups, and you don't want to stay out of it! How much did you pay for the goods in advance? You can't pay for it with your life, right?"

"I said a long time ago that relying on the strength of the Holy Light Fortress alone, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the Godfall Plateau. You have to work hard in the Kester Kingdom. You all don't listen..."

Federico was talking, when suddenly he shook his hand, and the light curtain exploded into bits and pieces.

"My snooping has been discovered," Federico exclaimed in surprise, "Be careful—!"

A little bit of golden light flickered in the far distance, and it became several times larger in an instant. If you look closely, it was actually a golden light that shot silently.

Fortress of Holy Light has a protective barrier, which is specially designed to defend against divine magic from outside.But this golden light regarded the protective barrier as nothing, penetrated silently, and shot straight at the castle.

The buzz sounded, and Bellino and Truk subconsciously launched their strongest defenses, and Federico disappeared directly, leaving only a trace of ripples in the air.

The golden light passed over their heads and sank into the pointed guard tower at the top of the castle.Amidst the bang, the ten-meter-high stone sentry tower exploded, and rubble was scattered one after another.Amid the prolonged screams, several human bodies drew high parabolas like fireworks bombs and flew in all directions.

The smoke and dust dispersed, looking at the main building of the castle whose spire had completely disappeared, the gap was so ugly that it looked like it had been gnawed by a giant beast.

A cloud of smoke rose far away, and Li Qi looked at Xia An's face again, but within a short while, the wound had already healed.

He couldn't help asking: "Uncle, you are Gui Geng this year... no, how many levels are you?"

Xia An said bluntly: "Level nine, but the level only indicates the level of power you have come into contact with, not how strong you are. I am still a mortal with many weaknesses."

Level nine!

Li Qi's heart twitched secretly, this Xia An was actually the most powerful person he had ever seen in his life!
The tenth level above is the demigod, which is like a god, a terrifying existence whose body can no longer stay on the main plane.

"Then just now...did it destroy some of your plans?"

Li Qi was a little reconciled, and ran to rescue him with good intentions, but ended up becoming a stepping stone for this guy to act aggressively.

"I don't have any plan." Xia An showed that "Although I am very strong, but for some reason I just want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger" expression of wry smile: "You did help me too. I was thinking, how many can be saved?"

Seeing that Li Qi was at a loss, Xia An explained: "In the beginning, I killed one by mistake. Although he was contaminated by corruption, he was still saved. The other hostages were also corrupted to some extent, and I don't know much about it. Purify the corrupt air in the human body."

Killed one by mistake! ?

Judging by the look on your face, you don't feel guilty about it at all.

"I have made the best choice, and the result is like this, it can only be said that it is the arrangement of fate." Xia An understood Li Qi's expression, and said bitterly.

At this time, the floating ship had landed nearby, and the priests of the support team were treating the hostages.Epsilon's holy water can effectively curb the harm of corruption, and it will take a long time to recover.

"But you just..."

Li Qi wanted to say that saving these people is not easy for you?
"I can't use this kind of power unless it's absolutely necessary." Xia An sighed, "If I wasn't afraid of something happening to you, I wouldn't consider this choice. Speaking of which, this is fate."

Fucking fate...

In any case, it would be a good result to solve this crisis and destroy another mine in Fortress of Holy Light.

Thinking of the Fort of Holy Light, Li Qi's heart suddenly felt hot.

He urged: "Xia An, you can see clearly the danger of those people from the Fort of Holy Light. How about we join hands and kill them now, so that the Godfall Plateau can return to peace?"

With Xia An involved, even if the Kester Kingdom and the Loyal God Court retaliate, there will be this great god blocking the knife.

Xia An looked at Li Qi, shook his head and said, "I am a reasonable person."

That's right, if you are unreasonable and directly rob people at the public trial meeting, I can't do anything except stomp my feet.

"Prince Belino has the legal right to open up the Godfall Plateau. I can't find a reason to destroy the Fortress of Holy Light. As for his mining fragments of the god's corpse, endangering civilians and even taking hostages against me, I have already warned him just now. "

Although Li Qi's bewitchment was too childish, Xia An explained patiently: "More importantly, I came to the Godfall Plateau to establish Xia'an Dia to stay away from the vortex of the world tide. This vortex is exactly the order behind you The alliance was first stirred up by the loyal court behind Bellino, how could I join this vortex?"

The legendary paladin smiled at Li Qi again: "And with the destruction of the Holy Light Fortress, will the Godfall Plateau return to peace? Why do I think it will be more lively?"

Your judgment is correct, but regardless of whether or not the Holy Light Fort is destroyed, the Godfall Plateau will be more lively.

Recalling Xia An's words just now, Li Qi's heart moved again: "You have seen more... the future, so are you worried about it?"

"Yes……"

Xia An walked in the direction of the hostages, and said as he walked: "Longde's will splits, so the paladin has to control the divine power more finely, so that he can gain power. So the paladin is very good at physical and weapon skills, but another ability , but few people know, that is, they are more sensitive to changes in the world. The higher the level, the stronger this feeling."

"Since the dark ages, there have been three era changes on the main plane. Now that the Star of Dawn has appeared, the era change has come again. This is already known to everyone."

"However, is this change of era just a contest between the Alliance of Order and the loyal court? Is it just the reorganization of Kaim's will and the birth of a new Kaim pantheon?"

"The Dawn Star is on the Broken Tower Covenant, which is the side of the Alliance of Order that you, the Duke, are on. Everyone thinks that the change of era this time is only related to Kaim, but the change I feel is not like that."

Xia An's words made Li Qi's heart tremble. This guy is worthy of being close to a demigod. He can see the faint traces of the future just by relying on his strength.

Of course, this change of era is not only related to Kaim, but also related to Little Red Riding Hood... no, our Majesty the Red Lady.The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind. We are preparing to be bird catchers under the tree.

Xia An still said: "This will be a change that affects all gods and all mortals. I feel a great danger. Everything will be out of the track of fate, and the world is heading towards a completely unpredictable future. It seems that It is a path of destruction full of suffering, blood, death and even extinction..."

Little Red Riding Hood sneered in Li Qi's mind: "Yeah, the future where mortals are no longer at the mercy of gods is completely unimaginable for the upper class of the decadent class like him, and it is a heinous crime, hehe..."

"So, you want to take the paladins and hide on the Godfall Plateau, build a shelter, wait for the disaster to pass before you come out, and build a new world on the wasteland?"

Li Qi also sneered: "It seems that you didn't hide far enough, and the paladins under you also have different opinions on this."

Xia An's cheeks twitched slightly: "I really can't deny such a judgment. I also thought about hiding further away, such as going to the New World..."

The legendary paladin sighed slightly: "But that really doesn't gather many people. As for my followers, most of them really can't accept the need to temporarily stay away from the world and find the real way."

Unknowingly, the two started discussing the path of justice again.

Li Qi asked: "So, you still don't agree with my summary of justice?"

"No, I agree very much, especially since you let me understand, what kind of starting point did our paladins' previous disputes about justice originate from?"

At this time, Xia An didn't put on the airs of a ninth-level legend: "You also let me understand that the justice I uphold is rooted in natural law."

He checked the healed paladin, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "But you also said that the justice of the human rights school is derived from the justice of the natural school, and the justice you want is different from the other three. This kind of justice is the justice that conforms to the way of the Red Lady."

"That's why I was thinking that there must be a way. Although it starts from nature, it will eventually return to purity. That is the justice that still holds true as long as the world exists, even if mortals are left behind."

Xia An said in a confident tone: "I think that the fifth kind of justice must exist."

The fifth kind of justice, if we talk about the justice embodied in the law, then it really exists.

That is the legal justice extended from procedural justice, which is the inherent logic of the law itself. It has no class attributes, nor does it have the slightest emotional tendency.Just like mathematics, logic and physics, it has an inner truth that is completely separated from human nature and does not change with people's will.

But that is not the justice of mortals, but the justice of power itself, which will inevitably be used, manipulated, and distorted.

Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of a god, maybe there is no manipulation, just like playing a game, watching how mortals toss.There is no distortion, the perspective of mortals is too humble, the power belonging to the gods, the way of the gods, projected into the mortal world, will inevitably be distorted, just like looking at mayflies in the ditch.

The problem is, you and I are mortals, and everyone is mortals.

Li Qi opened his mouth, but he didn't say these words in the end. To Xia An, this kind of empty argument without evidence was just the enemy's means of attack.

"I will find such justice in Cheyandia, Duke Prior, no..."

Xia An looked at him with a slight smile: "Li Qi, in another ten years... no, three years, let's see if Xia Andia's justice is correct, or your justice is correct."

"Three years?"

Li Qi sighed with pity: "It won't take that long, one year is enough."

"You are really confident." Xia An shrugged, not arguing with Li Qi.

More than a dozen injured paladins were checked one by one, and a few unconscious ones were all in passable condition.

Li Qi will carry out his good deeds to the end: "I'll send them to Xia'an Dia, and I'll take you along as well?"

Xia An waved her hand: "No, they'll stay with you for treatment, the fee... Nicole should still be with you, just ask her for it."

Li Qi raised his eyebrows: "You are really impolite. Your quartermaster regards business as a battlefield of justice. I don't expect to get the treatment fee from her."

"Then use this as compensation." Xia An casually handed it over, and Li Qi had an extra belt in his hand.

It was a very ordinary leather belt with a heavy metal buckle, like it was made of magical metal, but Li Qi had never seen it before.

"I got this when I was just a low-level paladin, and I used it to train physical and weapon skills." Xia An said, "Give it to you, and when you go back, use your mind to sense it carefully, and you will know how to use it." .”

"We are talking about business, how did you make it into a private matter? Accepting bribes is a violation of discipline," Li Qi muttered, gestured twice with his belt, and asked Ellie and Tina next to him :"looks good?"

Xia An seemed to twitch the corners of his mouth regretfully...

The airship rose, and after a while, it disappeared in the air, leaving only faint ripples.

Xia An watched Lianyi fly to the south and gradually disappear, he let out a long sigh.

Raising his arm, Xia An stared at his palm.

There was nothing unusual at first, but after a faint golden light flashed, the palm showed gray marks and cracks, like cracked old tree bark.Under the cracks, wisps of withered and yellow air faintly overflowed.

"One year...it should be able to last."

Xia An shook his head slightly, shook his hands, and his palms returned to normal.
