Blessings to the beautiful stars

Chapter 154 Justice
"Please touch my ear."

Renma Niang turned her head slightly, looked back at Zuo Wu who was sitting on her back, lowered her eyebrows, suppressed her expectation, and said so softly.

Zuo Wu nodded, and stretched out his hand happily, but the skin on the back of his hand was a little chilled by the stare of Ai Shanshan who was sitting behind him.

He finally chose to want everything, anyway, he had already admitted that he was a double standard when he first met Ji Zhi, and now, he didn't need to pretend to be a gentleman anymore.

The price was that the Kraken who was invited to ride with him was far away, with only his ass resting on Ji Zhi's tail, his fangs glaring dangerously, and his eyes rolled up.

The others were left behind by Ji Zhi's footsteps, but they all smiled meaningfully.

Especially Xi Martyr and King Li'e, the husband and wife used the three people in front of them as snacks and teased each other;

It's as if their near-break-up never happened, and it's even like they're back in a relationship they never had before.

Other people's family affairs, others have nothing to say.

Zuo Wu will not question the war between the two husband and wife, and Xi Martyr and the others will not persuade Zuo Wu and the girls to get along with each other, which already has some stomachaches.

After all, they didn't ask each other for help.

Otherwise, how arrogant is it to point fingers at what is right?

……

The way to the "Big Bones Sashimi Restaurant" is like walking through a long flower street.

Zuo Wu hadn't experienced such a pleasant walk for a long time.

The population here is more than that of the noisy planet, and the pace is faster, but there is no restless music advocating consumption to beat the eardrums, and there is no monopoly of clean air;

There are only the footsteps of others passing by, and the occasional ornamental fish jumping out of the creek that is constantly heated and kept warm, for everyone to watch for free.

The space available to each person here seems to be more than that of the noisy planet.

At least Zuo Wu didn't feel the ubiquitous crowded shoulders, and the crowdedness that even his heart would be infected by the hotness of others.

It seems that the shortage of space is deliberately concocted by the giant company and the government.

Space should not be a luxury, but there must always be a reason for people to "struggle" to harvest their labor.

The Star Sea Alliance does not need to harvest the people, the air here really flows with "milk and honey".

Various regimes have achieved a huge amount of trade here. When energy coins are used, the energy that inevitably escapes into the air, after being collected and reused by the alliance, is enough for the daily expenses of the entire planet.

Occasionally jumping small fish in the free stream scenery on the street is already a luxury benefit that many regimes can't imagine.

Zuo Wu's body swayed up and down with Ji Zhi's steps, and the wallet began to bulge after absorbing the energy in the atmosphere that was several times saturated than before, and his appetite was really gradually aroused.

Even if it is still far away, the taste of the delicacies in the big bone sashimi restaurant is already captivating.

……

"Where are they sacred, starfish disguised as humans?"

"No," Marika shook her head, "Do you think this is a store opened by starfish people to sell their own? No, most starfish people hate canned food."

Sitting in the restaurant, Zuo Wu looked around and asked Marika in a low voice; except for the two of them, the rest of them lost their composure.

The professor is a deceased person, his body energy comes from the void, and he doesn't need to eat at all; while Zuo Wu temporarily absorbs his own hunger.

Those who lost their composure included Levina and King Li'e.

The people around should obviously have different eating habits, but only a few minutes after being invited into a small booth, their eyes began to glow.

Appetite is probably the most primitive desire of living things. After all, a living thing that can respond to external stimuli needs to obtain energy.

A gaseous creature like King Lia would also be "hungry", but her staple food is gas with a specific composition.

Gas, and the plate full of sashimi placed on the table in front of you should be two completely different foods, but the magic power contained in this plate of sashimi easily smoothed over this gap, as if capturing the soul of King Li'e .

The gaseous woman even inadvertently imitated a stomach for herself, but in order to wake herself up, she ruthlessly pinched Xiangxi's martyred thigh.

By the way, knock down the hands of the two daughters and Della who quietly reached out to the plate.

then.

King Li A waved away his natural stomach, and then stared fiercely at the white and tender lawyer on the other side of the table.

The lawyer in front of him is smiling like a vixen; his head scarf, apron and even his complexion are all spotless white.

Especially those hands, so white and tender that even a wrinkle can't be seen, the ten delicate nails are decorated like gems, as if the absolutely smooth material is the skin on her hands, let alone dirty, even a speck of dust can't stick to it .

In contrast, his hair and eyes are silent black; besides black and white, the thin lips behind his tender hands are red.

The three contrasting colors are clearly distinct on her body, and completely clash with each other, without any sign of fusion.

That's right, she.

The face of the lawyer in front of him should be unmistakably feminine.

This made Ji Zhi look at Marika resentfully, and then began to ruminate again and again.

Rumination is the habit of turning the food in the stomach into the mouth and chewing it again. Humans and horses have long regarded this innate physiological behavior as vulgar and disrespectful, like releasing gas in the belly of humans in public.

Now it has become Ji Zhi's best way to suppress hunger.

The odor molecules that waited until the sashimi on the table diffused to every corner of the booth.

The smiling lawyer said in satisfaction: "Guest officers, I've been waiting for a long time; Professor Marika, please come here. I'm your chef and lawyer. You can call me Liangguling."

As she spoke, she pushed the sashimi forward:
"According to my observation, you are not friends who can be satisfied by the smell, why don't you try it? For the first time customers who step into the store, we will give free treatment."

"And, since the shop was introduced by the professor, there's no need to be so defensive, right?"

Tormented by appetite, everyone turned their eyes away.

Marika shrugged insignificantly:

"Lianggu Ling, it seems inappropriate to ask customers to guarantee you. But...the place is indeed famous in the world, but it is a pity that the products cannot be mass-produced industrially, otherwise how can there be canned starfish?"

As he spoke, the professor glanced at Levina intentionally or unintentionally.

The elf shuddered, and regained a bit of clarity for the eyes filled with hunger and thirst. Marika deliberately lifted the can, reminding herself that the sashimi material in front of her was a bit unusual?
Liang Guling is worthy of being a lawyer.

She suddenly realized:
"So that's how it is. I'm sorry. Please forgive me for introducing myself again. I'm your lawyer, chef and ingredient. The sashimi in front of you is sliced ​​from my hand with my superb and professional knife skills."

As he spoke, Liang Guling stretched out both hands, and touched the tiger's mouth of his left hand with his right index finger, as if he wanted to introduce to everyone which muscle each sashimi came from.

Jin Mian was stunned.

Levina stood up "Teng": "Your own meat? You regard yourself as an ingredient?!"

Liang Guling took his hand back: "That's right, you look so surprised."

"...Yes, very surprised." The elf sat down slowly, glanced at Zuo Wu, saw that the man had nothing to say, so he continued:
"I was caught in a butcher shop before and was almost slaughtered and sold. The horror and despair at that time often gave me nightmares."

"I heard that you are lawyers. I originally wanted to ask you if this is a common law in the galaxy."

Liangguling smiled: "Ah, this is the scope of legal consultation; but you are first-time customers, and you may be my big customers, even if you are free."

"About your question, the answer is of course no; in fact, 20.00% of civilizations at [-]% consider it illegal to eat intelligent creatures."

Levina was surprised again: "Only one-fifth? So little!?"

"You seem to have misunderstood something," Bai Nennen's lawyer tilted his head:

"The law is only the bottom line of the morality of various regimes and civilizations. It does not mean that eating intelligent creatures will not be condemned by the morality of those regimes."

The elf disagreed: "But that's still legal, isn't it?"

Liang Guling narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eyelids slowly covered her dark pupils:
"Whatever is prohibited by the law can be done."

Levina sneered: "Canned starfish can be sold, and you open this kind of store yourself, which means that the Star Sea Alliance does not prohibit this kind of behavior?"

"That's right,"

The lawyer nodded: "Our family can open a store here, which means that we have obtained an individual industrial and commercial business license. The same is true for the lawyer's license. It is hung at our front desk. You are welcome to check it at any time."

Liangguling's crimson lips opened and closed, and her flawless white teeth were faintly visible; Levina's muscles were tense, as if the sashimi in front of her was made of a severed limb that she hadn't taken back.

The elf covered his mouth, and felt the urge to vomit in front of the delicacy for the first time: "The Star Sea Alliance allows intelligent creatures to be made into food, so what justice is there?!"

Liang Guling tilted his head: "But we did it voluntarily."

"Come on!" Levina almost flipped the table: "So you only have this small shop, and you dare to say that all the canned starfish are voluntary?!"

"This question is very interesting," the lawyer's spine gradually relaxed, and he no longer sat in a precarious posture before:

"It's just that as far as I know, the actual owners of the canned food of the starfish people are almost all the starfish people; the source of the meat is also their own people in each other's territory."

"That is to say, at least their sale, the regime they belong to is happy to see it."

Canned starfish is popular across the galaxy, and of course no government can ignore the huge commercial value it brings.

Although Zuo Wu and the others saw a starship full of goods in the Star Sea Alliance, they are often a luxury among luxury goods when diluted to the entire galaxy.

Levina shook her head slightly.

The will of the regime is never equal to the will of the individual, and of course she understands this truth; when she was on the first alchemy planet, before going out to take risks, she was also angry at those compatriots who were unwilling to sacrifice themselves and blocked the progress of civilization.

The elf has no way of knowing how much the progress of starfish civilization depends on the economy brought by the canning business, but she feels that it is too much to pay for the people to become food.

The elves can only feel it.

Just as I am sure that I will almost never be able to go home and can only offer blessings to my hometown, the fate of the starfish is in the final analysis just "other countries' internal affairs", and I have no way to interfere at all.

Damn.

Just like the protagonists in the novels the boss reads, they are really beyond comprehension.

After all, what is the scope of what I can manage?Chudan elves are still as prosperous as angels. Except for a few opponents, when the whole galaxy is their own back garden, can they count it as their own business?

Define the law yourself, define the rules yourself?
In the final analysis, it still depends on who has the bigger fist?

But why does an extremely powerful existence lend a helping hand to some extremely small creatures, just like human beings complaining for chickens that are about to be slaughtered, isn't it a ridiculous thing?

Can only please or satisfy oneself, and selfish values.

to be honest.

Isn't it still for fun?
Levina shook her head slowly, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave.The angel hadn't appeared in her nightmare for a long time, and she never thought that she, together with her strength, would still accompany her like a shadow.

No, I digressed!

The elf forcibly drove away his chaotic thoughts, gritted his teeth, and continued to question Liangguling, also grabbing the last straw in his heart:
"No, since the Star Sea Alliance allows the sale of canned food, hasn't it already lost its position of justice?"

The lawyer shook his head firmly: "No, no. At least I think it is absolutely correct not to ban the sale of meat from intelligent creatures."

"What do you mean?" Levina was taken aback.

The lawyer's finger lightly tapped the table: "In the Milky Way, the physiological gap between everyone is terrifying. Some are strong, some are thin, some are smart, and some are stupid;"

"There is only one general equivalent that can be passed, and that is energy coins."

"so."

"The strong sell their strength, the wise sell their brains, and the beautiful sell their looks;"

"So, if your body is delicious, why can't you sell your body?"

"Just as every civilization develops by relying on mountains to eat mountains, and water to eat water, it is only right and proper to rely on what you have."

"As for the flesh and blood that the alliance allows to sell, it will breed crime? There is no reason for that."

"Does prohibiting people from selling their strength prevents mobs from killing people? Preventing people from selling their brain power prevents the regime from developing weapons of mass destruction?"

"Ha, it's nothing more than the fact that there are too many people relying on their brains and strength, so they can only govern carefully; and their own deliciousness is scarce, so it's just convenient to cut it across the board!"

"It is the incompetence of administrators and many governments, and it is the embodiment of morality, which is extremely double-standard and fickle;"

"It's just... picking soft persimmons!"

The lawyer shook his head: "In the final analysis, whether it is justice or not depends only on whether the person who sells such a thing is willing. This 'person' is divided into individuals and groups. When their interests conflict, how can it be easy to say clearly?" s things?"

Levina sat back slowly and took a deep breath: "A counterexample, sitting in front of you, what if it's me? The regime neither approves nor wants to become food?"

"I think, I'm afraid you can only blame yourself and the weakness of your civilization," the lawyer said with a white smile again:

"If you are trafficked to the Star Sea Alliance, whether there is any collective or individual approval, it means that the alliance's supervision is not effective, and it is not that there is a problem with the regulations that allow the sale of intelligent creatures...Of course, it will be very simple to ask for compensation from the alliance."

"But you were trafficked to the Imperial Union. The legal aspect of this is a bit difficult. We will consider defending it in accordance with the Imperial Union's Mercenary Protection Law."

"However, there is another solution that has a better chance of winning. It is to accuse the powerful anesthetic that Dilian used for you is not good enough, so that you still have memories of when you were almost slaughtered. It is really against the law of humanity to argue. From this angle, I'm pretty sure."

"It depends on whether you want it or not?"
