"It doesn't matter. So far, no one has been able to give a standard answer. Or rather, there will never be a standard answer. You don't have to blame yourself."
Although Argyle was quite disappointed with his answer, Carlos agreed with it.
Edward has great ambitions, and Dominic is better off living in the dark, so Argyll is naturally his first choice for successor.
For a lord, when certain people must be sacrificed, preserving the overall situation is the most important aspect to consider, unless there are other factors involved.
A lord who can consider the interests of the majority of people is a qualified lord.
"It seems that in the future, Argyle can develop in the direction of governance..."
Just as Carlos was immersed in his imagination, Connor's words immediately brought him back to reality:
"So, Dominic, what do you think? Your two brothers have already answered it."
Domi knew very well that this problem was an alien version of the trolley problem in his previous life. Just like the situation here, no one could solve it, and he naturally didn't know a reasonable explanation, but he knew Connor's purpose.
Since he wants to understand my heart, I can't do as he wishes.
One of the rules for survival in another world - never let others see through your heart.
Therefore, he will not give any answer, but instead use absolute rationality to analyze some possibilities.
"I hope this will make Connor give up questioning me..."
He rearranged the possibilities in his mind, organized his words, took a deep breath and finally spoke:
“If I think it’s better for one person to die than nine to die, that’s utilitarianism;
On the contrary, if I choose the fork in the road that leads to nine people, and thus run over nine people, this is deontology;
So I will spend all my time thinking about which solution is more virtuous, but the carriage has already run over nine people, and that’s virtue ethics;
So I weigh which way will not infringe on the other party’s rights, which is rights-based ethics;
If I put that civilian on the fork in the road where nine people were, and then lay myself on it, and let the carriage run over and kill eleven people, that would be deathism.
The whole audience fell silent because of Domi's statement.
In silence, he looked into Connor's old eyes without hesitation:
“As you said before, there is no standard answer to this question.
What I have said are just some of the possibilities, and all possibilities are the result of the extension of the human ethics developed today. Moral skepticism, moral nihilism, surrealism, mechanical ethics, egoistic hedonism, etc., all have corresponding countless answers and countless disguised responses.
Until a new human ethics emerges, all the answers I have mentioned belong to one of these possibilities.
So you can say I didn’t answer any of them, or I answered them all.”
At this point, Domi suddenly thought of something and added:
"If I have to choose one, I think I would follow relational ethics and save the people I am close to, even if there is only one..."
Thanks to "Zou Zou Nai" for the reward of 10000 points!
The boss is awesome, the boss is generous!
I wish the boss good health and all the best!
Chapter 21 Double Opening!
Chapter 21-21- Double Open!
[You make adults who are several years older than you feel ashamed, villain value +2500]
When Domi gave this reply, even the adults didn't know how to comment.
If you say he is wrong, it seems that there is no point to refute it. If you say he is right, he doesn't have any specific ideas.
What is this?
Compared to Carlos's confusion, Connor was more interested.
"Dominic, I accept your answer. It shows that you are an extremely rational person and you know how to avoid a definite answer in this way.
But I am curious, where did you learn these professional terms? Your kindergarten teachers and parents will not teach you these. "
In response, Duomi replied without blushing:
"Introduction to Philosophy, a book in the library, it was on the table. I happened to read it for a while and memorized some words."
The excuse was barely enough to get away with it. Who would doubt a cute seven-year-old child?
Now, they looked at Domi with only amazement, including Connor Livisi and Carlos.
Well, I can’t keep a low profile anymore.
As the saying goes, where there is loss there is gain, in order to adhere to "one of the rules of survival in the other world", he had to resort to this bad strategy.
In fact, he could play dumb and give a ridiculous and popular answer.
It can achieve the same effect, the only difference is that it lowers its own level and lacks those villain values.
Is he pretending to be cool just for these villain values?
Yes, there is indeed such suspicion.
The only thing that exceeded his expectations was that Connor only asked these two questions?
Are you really not going to ask any more questions?
Domi looked at Connor eagerly, hoping that he could ask his brothers a few more simple questions. Otherwise, wouldn't he be the most conspicuous one?
But Connor just patted Domi's head and gave him an encouraging look: "Well done."
Domi was in tears.
Just then, Carlos also came out and several people stood up from the sofa.
Carlos first came to Connor Livisi and bowed, which was a sign of respect for the respected person:
"Sir, you are finally here. I apologize for not welcoming you in person."
Because he flew here by himself, his trajectory and speed were never revealed to anyone, so even if Carlos wanted to meet him from afar, he had no direction or time.
Connor thought that this was actually his own problem. To be honest, he was quite glad that he could come here by himself, so he shook his head and said:
"You don't have to apologize Carlos, this is my problem, and I've learned a lot along the way."
"For example, your ancestral home, and the design inside, with magic cleverly embedded in it... Can I know who built it?"
This was not something worth hiding. On the contrary, Carlos was a little proud when he said it:
"The design was drawn by my great-grandfather's brother, and it took nearly a hundred years and several generations of effort in the territory to build it. It can be said that this is the joint product of all the people in the entire Blofeld Territory."
Connor hadn't expected that there was such spiritual connotation behind it, and he was generous with his praise afterwards.
Domi could see that their teacher really liked architecture and magic, especially designs that appealed to his aesthetic taste. He was interested in everything like a child.
He is a pure person, that's how he summed it up.
Of course, because they have known each other for such a short time, this evaluation is too one-sided. Domi just keeps it in his heart, waiting for it to be gradually improved in the future.
"I'm sorry that we've strayed off topic..." Connor coughed a few times, and his expression returned to seriousness. He said, "Carlos, I've already gotten a certain understanding of your son through a few questions before you came. I think we can officially start teaching today."
Carlos was overjoyed when he heard this.
As the saying goes, a child’s childhood is precious.
While you are taking a break, other people's children are attending cram schools around the clock. They have etiquette classes followed by cultural classes, and then physical education classes. They are racing against time!
It would be great to start teaching on the same day.
"That's great!" Carlos agreed immediately: "But I need to talk to Domi first."
clam?
What is there to say to yourself?
He followed Carlos into the next room and sat opposite him.
"Domi, there is something I think it's time to tell you..."
Wait, that tone?
Domi always has a feeling that the next sentence he's going to blurt out is something like "You were actually picked up from the trash can" or "I'm giving my son a gift by topping up my phone bill."
“In fact, after you were born, your mother and I discovered that you have unique physical talents, and your physical fitness has far exceeded that of your peers since you were young.
I have thought a lot about this, and finally decided to send you to Fomalhaut for training. You should know what Fomalhaut is, right? "
"It's the hidden department of our family that does almost everything," Domi answered simply.
"That's right, the future is full of uncertainties, and even I am not absolutely sure that I can protect everyone in the family. You are my son, and I naturally don't want you to die in an accident, so I want you to grow up quickly.
Maybe these words are too early for a child like you, but time waits for no one, you must know! "
Domi thought about the reason, and there was only one reason:
"Is it because my magic talent is only elementary?"
Carlos hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"In today's world where magic is highly valued, it is very dangerous for people in high positions to have no skills.
I thought, since I can't make any achievements in magic, I should make use of my innate talent and develop it in the physical direction. It just so happens that all the killers in Beiluo Shimen are such killers, which is quite suitable for you.
But if you really don’t have this thought…”
Before he finished speaking, Domi agreed directly!
The words "I can!" almost stunned Carlos.
Ever since he found out that there was an assassination organization in his family, he knew that he was definitely inseparable from them and the best choice was to join them.
You can figure out with your toes how much villain value that would generate for yourself.
But there is no such opportunity.
And now, isn't the opportunity coming to you?
Carlos was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to say that if Domi really didn't want to, he could just spend a little more money and send someone to protect him all the time, or even hide his identity and live in seclusion in the city...
But he never expected that Domi would agree so readily.
A little unsure, let's see.
I saw an emotion called "eager to try" flashing in Domi's eyes.
Now he could be completely sure that Domi had no aversion to it.
However, when Carlos thought about his son having to go through the brutal training in Beiluo Shimen, he couldn't bear it, and even his tone of voice became much gentler:
"I have already talked to Mr. Connor about this. In the morning, we will teach cultural knowledge, and in the afternoon, we will practice magic.
You don't have to go to the afternoon class. I will arrange for someone to provide special training for you."
"Domi, the training ahead will be very hard, but once you embark on this path, there is no turning back. Are you ready?"
Before making the final choice, Duomi asked, "Dad, the reason you asked me to go to Fomalhaut to train was so that I could have the ability to protect myself, right?"
Carlos nodded.
"Then if I learn this, can I choose my own life?"
At this time, Carlos recalled the agreement he had made with Grace and nodded again:
"Of course no problem, this is an agreement between your mother and me."
"If that's the case, then I think I'm ready!"
Chapter 22: Rookie's Assassination Technique
Chapter 22-22- Rookie's Assassination Technique
The living room in the side hall was converted into a small classroom.
As early as the day Connor agreed to come, the maids began to set up three small-sized desks and chairs, a podium and a magic blackboard.
The so-called magic blackboard is a blackboard. With the matching magic pen, you can write on it at will. You can input a trace of magic power of any attribute into the blackboard and control it to the place where you need to delete, so as to achieve the deletion operation. It is very practical.
However, the cost of such a blackboard is not small at all, and usually only large colleges and nobles can afford it.
Connor had experience with this before, so he quickly got the hang of it. He drew a timeline in the black space and wrote down the major events one by one:
