hunt and eat

Chapter 615 My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is justice!
Because it was the reason for the return journey, the speed of the flying ship was not particularly fast, and it was not until noon of the next day that it arrived at East Doruma.

As soon as the front foot got off the boat, Guta saw several attendants of the Great Old Hall standing guard on the pier where the flying boat was docked in advance.

The bright red samurai armor and the distinctive knotted sword formed a sharp contrast with the hunters walking around.

"Your Excellency Guta." The first to speak was still the chief attendant, Gujalohag, who had dealt with Guta the most times.

"That stubborn old man is quite well informed."

Glancing at the faintly visible outline of the Great Old Hall in the distance, Guta snorted, turned his head and shouted to his partner behind him:
"I'm going to see the Great Elder, you guys take your luggage back first."

"Also, Chi Dong, just follow Nia and the others, don't run around..."

After explaining several words in succession, Guta rubbed Chi Dong's little head, and then left with a group of attendants from the Grand Palace.

……

About a quarter of an hour later, as the ancient pagoda stepped into the familiar yet unfamiliar Great Old Hall, a giant sitting like a statue on the central stone steps appeared in his perception.

"Same as before, nothing changed to the point of nausea."

"Just like this rotten world, it's almost rotten to the root, and even the air is filled with the stench of corpses."

Turning his head and looking around, except for the yellow strips of cloth hanging from the top, everything seems to be the same as it was 50 years ago.

Of course, in the perception of the ancient pagoda, these are all in the form of lines, and it is impossible to distinguish too specific textures and degrees of wear, but generally there is not much difference.

"Even across death, hasn't it corrected your prejudice against this world?"

The pale fairy eyebrows curved into an arc, and the old voice of the Great Elder resounded in the hall.

"Prejudice?" There was a mocking arc on the corner of Guta's mouth, and he said bluntly: "How do you let me love a world where the possibility of progress is completely blocked?"

Having said that, Guta took the initiative to move forward.

"Is it like you, turning a blind eye to everything you know, clearly grasping the power to fight against fate, but just living in a corner in peace, so as to cover up your completely lost courage and belief?"

"Sometimes I really doubt who is the traverser, you or Tagul."

Sighing, the Great Elder said, "Your innate aggressiveness and your terrifying desire to satisfy your curiosity at all costs will destroy this world one day."

"If the progress of a civilization is destined to usher in destruction...then it should be destroyed!"

Guta, who was still moving forward, spoke slowly while maintaining a uniform pace and tone.

His voice was firm without hesitation.

"So that's why you disbanded the entire science team 50 years ago, and instructed them to secretly set up laboratories across the continent to conduct various forbidden experiments?"

Raising his head unexpectedly, the Great Elder's expression gradually became serious.

"Hehe, the forbidden experiment...maybe it is true for you."

Stepping up the steps, the ancient pagoda closed his eyes tightly, supported his knees bent forward with his elbows, and raised his head to "look" at the giant in front of him with a gentle smile on his face.

"Old stubborn, I don't care what agreement or agreement you have with Zulong, but moving to a higher level is the inevitable pursuit of every race and even life, so..."

"This time, don't get in the way."

Facing Guta's provocative attitude, the Great Elder just remained silent, looking down at him calmly.

Several attendants outside the hall heard the movement from inside and wanted to go in, but they were directly stopped outside by Gu Jialuohag, who was the chief.

He shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "Let those two have a good chat."

In the main hall, the tense atmosphere lasted for a full 3 minutes.

It wasn't until the Great Elder stood up first and sighed deeply that he managed to dilute the tense atmosphere in front of him.

"I have lived for a long time, Guta... so long that even the memories of the past have been mixed with instinct." The elder said in a muffled voice.

"You and Tagul both know that since the appearance of the first generation of dragonmen, every subsequent generation has been me... Although I am already tired of opening my eyes, I still can only choose to hug this world."

"Even if it was the last time, I deliberately died in the snow mountain and turned my power into a seal to suppress the ancestor Benglong, but I still failed to break this sad cycle."

"Just because I am a taboo, and I am the guardian of the dragon people... I can't choose my own death."

The Great Elder just looked at Guta who gradually stopped smirking and showed a little thinking face, and continued: "Although I am confused, I still learned one thing during this long time."

"Life should not be profaned."

The fierce aura gradually spread, and the great elder, who possessed overwhelming power and coercion, said in Gujing Fubo's tone: "I never doubted the loftiness of your ideals, but your methods have been distorted to the point that ordinary people cannot accept it. "

"Not everyone is like you, who has the will and belief to stick to the original intention and go to the end no matter what... The mistakes in methods and means will only make other people who follow you lose themselves more and fall into the abyss of the quagmire Among them, I can't extricate myself."

"I have seen too many similar tragedies."

Guta's eyelids shook slightly for a while, but there was still not much extra expression on his face.

The only thing left is the calm like a deep pool.

Soon, he smiled lightly, turned to speak, and talked about another seemingly unrelated matter: "You once asked me a question, Great Elder."

For the first time, Guta stopped calling the other party "Old Stubborn" and used a more formal title instead.

"In my mind, what is justice?"

The great elder looked at the ancient tower in front of him with some surprise, but he didn't rush to speak, just waiting for his explanation later.

"Although I'm not very satisfied with the word justice, it's too arrogant to use the truth to describe it, so it's better to use your words here."

"I, from the first day of forming the science team, I have already had that consciousness."

"Not every like-minded partner can accompany me all the way to the end with the support of faith."

Speaking in a nostalgic tone, the corners of Guta's mouth gradually turned up.

"But at least, at the moment when we shine for our ideals, we ourselves are the most correct justice in this world!"

"Cruel means? Tortuous process? Violation of ethics? It doesn't matter!"

"As long as the final result can reach our expected end point, all sacrifices are worth it... just like the words I used to say."

A right hand was clenched into a fist, and it slapped heavily on his right chest. Guta showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said solemnly:

"My heart and my deeds are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is justice!"
