Chapter 128: The Fool Who Chooses “Righteousness” and Denies “Himself”.

Justice, put into words and deeds, means nothing.

In general, justice is divided into two types.

One is justice that is not recognized.

One is recognized justice.

Lucio believes in not one of them, but justice that is only recognized by himself, and it does not matter to him whether it is recognized or denied.

For he did not intend for him to praise his justice.

“His adopted son, for his justice, tried to become a hero, but was wounded all over by justice, until finally, he began to hate himself…”

“It is not hatred of justice, but hatred of inheriting “false justice” …”

“It’s like trying to justify ‘justice’ and deny your own life.”

Lu Qiao’s words ran through the girl’s sense of justice in front of him like a knife, and in the face of this teenager who extremely denied correct justice, Ryu once again felt the worthless feeling that had been refuted by Erebos’s “absolute evil” argument seven years ago.

“Can’t it be called justice to protect this behavior for the sake of righteousness?”

“…… Not really. ”

Greeting the girl’s shaky expression, Lu Qiao spoke slowly, “What you recognize is righteousness, and it is correct that can be accepted by most people’s three views in a broad sense. ”

“To put it simply, it is to stop robbers from killing pedestrians and robbing property… But on the other hand, the robber’s original intention is to support the family, is what he did to protect the justice of the family? ”

So, to put it more plainly, what your justice lacks is not that I came to be that symbol. Rather, it requires the existence of “necessary evil” as God Erebus believes…”

“What do you mean?”

“Sound laws. The jurisprudence can be accepted by more people, and when the action is carried out based on the law, those who violate the law are evil, and those who implement the law are good and righteous! ”

In a world where jurisprudence is not sound, those who seek justice and fairness must have problems in their brains.

Lu Cho thinks so, the Asteria clan claims to be seeking justice, but whether it is fair is decided by people, not by law, and there is always a lack of righteousness.

“…… Jurisprudence. ”

Ryu’s pupils contracted slightly, the scalp of her brain unconsciously itched, and her body trembled unconsciously…

Yes.

The most difficult thing about justice is not execution!

Rather, it is to confirm evil.

Isn’t it legal to be able to designate evil things?

“Compared with the “justice” passed down from generation to generation, jurisprudence is a “symbol of justice” that can be accepted in a broad sense, does not need to use violence, and can be remembered by everyone, and you only need to become a “partner of justice”, you only need to maintain the “symbol of justice” for a longer time, so as not to let its image collapse.”

“…… That’s right. ”

Ryu’s voice became low, as if suppressing indescribable excitement, and she closed her eyes, although Lord Astrea said that when justice becomes the only absolute, it will become the support of the class who upholds justice and oppresses and recognizes the righteous.

But suppose –

The correctness of this justice is not determined by a person, but by soundness… What about the ever-changing jurisprudence?

“Lord Lucio, would you like to be the host of Eulali’s jurisprudence?”

“Unwilling.”

Lu Qiao rolled his eyes and patted his forehead, “This is a thankless job, ordinary adventurers aside, adventurers of the dark faction, but they are all running a huge gray industry underground like rats.” ”

“Having me as the host of Eulali’s jurisprudence will only make me bear the hatred of all the adventurers of those dark factions.”

“And I, without getting any practical benefits, have to formulate a rule to strictly regulate my own jurisprudence?”

“Besides, I can’t be an authority. There is only one kind of existence that can become the authority of Eulari. ”

God.

…… Yes, even if there is no divine power, but the existence that determines all the rules of Eularinne is still a god.

It is precisely because of this that gods from different myths and different ideas cannot make the same rules based on the same three views.

“No, you can be an authority, “strong”-”

The dependents of the former “Libra Goddess” suddenly knelt down slowly on one knee, she stroked her chest, and said seriously, “Although I don’t know the reason, I have this intuition in my heart… You can be the rule-maker of Eulari. ”

Lu Qiao’s expression paused slightly, and he was silent for a long time, “I can’t be a rule-maker… Moreover, we alone cannot formulate a jurisprudence that is suitable for everyone, and we lack the manpower to realize the correctness of the law. It takes many means to judge whether a person has violated the law…”

An empire that manages seven million people requires 60,000 or 70,000 officials from top to bottom, not to mention the violent groups that need to maintain management rights and prepare, that is, members of the army.

Although there are only 100,000 people in Eulari, there are a large number of lawless adventurers inside, and some of them, although they are not evil, does not mean that they are willing to be governed by some bondage.

“To accomplish this kind of thing, first of all, the approval of the gods must be obtained, and secondly… It is a professional who can reasonably formulate jurisprudence, a manager who upholds jurisprudence, and finally… You need guys like me. ”

Lu Qiao smiled, squinted his eyes, and said softly, “I am not an authority, but a ‘power’…”

“If you can fulfill the preconditions I said, I don’t mind becoming this “power”, a legal principle that the strongest people are willing to agree with, then, on the ground of Eulari, everyone will be afraid of me, a symbol of “power”, and follow the law.”

If the process is done by someone else, and he only needs to achieve his own purpose to achieve a win-win result, he does not mind this ‘righteous act’——

It is like choosing the original eldest son of the emperor to become the real administrator of the empire during the imperial period, but he only needs to act as a ‘mascot’, but in fact he can steadily become a real privilege.

“Then, it’s agreed, my lord.”

This elf seems to have found the purpose of life, showing a fighting expression, and her life has almost fallen to the bottom after the Asteria clan was almost completely destroyed in the dungeon a few years ago.

And now –

She seems to have found a plan that she can truly shoulder the legacy of her companions, hold high the banner of justice in the true sense, and make all evil submit to justice.

…… To accomplish this, it is necessary to take Lord Astrea back to Eulari.

Afterwards.

Rebuild the Asterea.
