"Understood, Your Excellency Tempest." After several people looked at each other and retreated, Lidale clinked the cup with a spoon and stretched: "Ah, really, I wanted to have a good time with you at first." It turned out that this country has reached such a point that it is impossible to take a vacation.”
"Hey, did you do that because you think that the light of technology in the future will completely defeat the mystery?"
Lidal looked at Limuru curiously, her eyes completed the crescent moon: "It's really a rebellious idea, I know why you didn't let Youzhu interfere in this matter, if she knows that you care so much about those so-called 'scientists' ’, I’m afraid I’m going to fight you again, just like 12 years ago.”
"You're misunderstood."
Upon hearing this, Limulu chuckled lightly and said, "I'm only doing it for human beings."
"Ok?"
"As for me, I don't care whether ordinary people or magicians survive in the end, if the light of technology can also guarantee human justice..."
"Qi, is it two-handed tactics again?" Hearing this, Lidel rolled her eyes and said, "Dead disciples, magicians, and then so-called scientists, you really love humans."
"It's obviously just a fantasy species..." Lidal said seriously, "Don't bear the attitude, Limuru."
"Ah, actually there is another reason." Limulu scratched his face, and said with a dry smile: "That is, scientists are also a fortune! They can be exchanged for money in the future!"
Chapter 119, Daily Persecution of Saber...
No matter which world or power you are in, knowledge is always the most precious wealth. Regarding this point, Lidel did not show any different opinions. Although she is also a traditional type of magician, she will not deny that those people have a great influence on technology. Under the shining of light, he is also a member of the "researchers".
Obviously the same tradition is very important, and they take over the changes of the new generation. This is one of the reasons why the famous families can continue to this day. After all... If you really follow the tradition completely, you will only be eliminated by the times.
The conversation between the two didn't affect Saber, who was silently watching the passers-by outside the window. Now she is already a qualified guard, and that is something that should not be heard, and she is definitely too lazy to listen.
In order not to let herself be autistic, no, or Saber, who has been completely autistic, finally understood this deeply when she accompanied Limuru to go out.
But in reality, it is often not you who take the initiative to find trouble, but trouble who finds you. For example, when Limuru's eyes saw Saber's tightly pursed face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and walk away. He walked over and said, "Are you pitying this country? Saber."
"Master?" Saber turned her head in astonishment, and said softly, "It's not true, it's just that the attitude of these commoners is unbelievable... Has the king here abandoned his people?"
"No, I've worked very hard." Hearing this, Limulu stretched out his hand to wipe the window filled with white mist, and said with a chuckle: "At least people's daily life is still running, and the gears can still turn, instead of completely collapsed." Bad."
"However, next year at the latest, the government should be unable to hold on... By that time, everyone's money will be reduced to waste paper, society will be completely shut down, and everyone will lose their goals - workers will lose their jobs , the merchants have no market, and everyone can only do nothing with waste paper..."
"Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, Saber, the people who started this war are the times, whether it's us or the international hot money, to put it bluntly, it's just pushing the boat along with the clarion call of the times."
"And don't worry, I have already set up corresponding relief stations in every city in this country—" Limulu turned around and said with a chuckle: "In this regard, I plan to let you take charge, I believe you talent in this area.”
"While depriving the other party of their wealth, you have to act so noble, aren't you really a hypocrite? Master." Hearing this, Saber turned her green eyes, her voice remained unchanged, as if she had given up her mind and said: " Or is it a little bit of mercy for you to just do some actions that are slightly against your own interests?"
"Saber, you have led the army for so long, don't tell me that I haven't seen the refugees from those countries after you defeated them."
Limulu said indifferently: "Aren't you going to take in those refugees?"
"...That's different!"
"What's the difference?"
"The war between the city-states is for their own people!" Saber said firmly and solemnly: "If wars are launched against other city-states, then it must be for the people, not just for your own like you wealth--"
"Hmm... this scene looks familiar..." Lidal raised her legs with a smile, kicked lightly and teased: "Saber, if you want to say that, I guess Limuru may have to take out human beings again. I'm here to crush you."
In the past two years, Lidale has gotten acquainted with Saber a lot. It is worth mentioning that the relationship between the two is much better than the relationship between Limulu and Saber.
"Indeed." Limulu glanced at Lidal with a chuckle, nodded and said, "If you talk about righteousness, I won't be sleepy."
"You..." After Saber looked at Lidelle helplessly, she turned her head in dissatisfaction and didn't want to speak anymore.
Two against one, right?
"No matter how righteous the righteousness is, it should not be an excuse for doing anything." Limulu looked at Saber and tilted his head slightly: "And if you admit that for the sake of righteousness, the pain the other party has suffered is justified, then you and Those who do whatever it takes to achieve their ends are no different."
"However, we have a bottom line." Saber tried to make a final struggle, saying: "Even if the final reason is for righteousness, but selfless dedication and selfishness are desperate for righteousness..."
"...Indeed, shouting righteousness to collect money and plunder, and shouting righteousness to sacrifice oneself, really give people a completely different impression."
"Well, I didn't quarrel with you once or twice. It just so happens that the purpose of our coming to Moscow this time is that there are some special people who are difficult to get in touch with, and I need to do it myself-then, I will take you to meet someone."
Limulu showed a big smile and said, "Let me tell you the most basic truth."
"Selflessness is itself a kind of selfishness."
……
Karkaroff, who was in the undisclosed relief station in Moscow at this time, a sloppy old man who was drunk and full of decadence, lying on the table begging for more, named Karkaroff.
It is also one of Limuru's goals today.
"It's so pitiful..." When seeing the other party's appearance, even Limulu, who already knew a little about the other party, still couldn't help frowning: "It's really him?"
"It's him, Master Limuru." A maid who was in charge of the material allocation here was wearing a smart suit at this time, bowed her head slightly to show respect, and said: "According to Master Sasha's instructions, we will pay attention to the personnel on the list. The most comprehensive monitoring and contact has been carried out, although his current appearance is somewhat... er, somewhat inconsistent with his identity..."
"What was his original identity?" Lidal blinked curiously, looked at the other party and asked.
"A world-class new material research expert with four doctorate degrees." Hearing this, Limulu said indifferently: "If you use the identity of the magic world to express it, you are almost a color magician."
"Ah?!" Lidal covered her mouth and said in disbelief, "Even if a researcher of this level is destroyed in the country, he shouldn't be reduced to... this level, right?"
"Actually, in the past three months, we have repelled at least double-digit attacks." After hearing what Lidelle said, the maid lowered her head and said skillfully: "The magician who secretly protected him is also Two people were injured."
"Unable to use magic tricks such as hints to prevent the other party from contacting spies from other countries, we have already offered conditions that other countries cannot offer, but even so, the other party still chooses to refuse... However, the last rejection was in Five days ago, as of now, no attempt has been made."
"Reject?" Saber stared at the other party, lowered her eyes and said: "Master, do you want me to know that the other party has fallen to this point because of rejection?"
"Of course not." Limulu shook his head and said, "The reason why he fell to this point is his heart-death, and what made him die...instead is because of his selflessness."
Limulu pulled up a water curtain, and lightly took the gemstones offered by the maids at the side. After a crisp sound, the gemstones were immersed in the water curtains, and little pictures appeared.
That was the monitoring situation of the other party for three months. After showing it, Limulu dragged the drunken party directly into the back hall of the relief station——
The reason why Karkaroff rejected the superior conditions offered by Limuru's people was precisely because of the other party's lofty character, firm ideas, and dreams.
In the hall, the maid stood aside respectfully, while Lidelle watched the scenes in the video with great interest, and looked at Saber from the corner of her eye from time to time—
In the picture, there is a picture of a happy family of three three months ago, as well as Karkaroff's highly respected figure walking in the research institute, and everyone's frowning faces at the meeting of the research team. There have been breakthrough research and progress in power storage technology, which made him attract the attention of the whole world for a while.
However, the breakthrough of the project also means that the next stage of experiment needs to be carried out, but the appropriation and funding from above have not yet arrived. After many inquiries, I realized that at this time, the entire country's money has been covered by a huge abyss. Jukou held on tightly, pouring everything into the gambling game called finance, unable to continue to carry out redundant research and development——
Forced to helplessness, looking at the hope and despair in the eyes of the team members, Karkaroff, as the main person in charge, understands that this project must not be stopped, because once it is stopped, the research results that have already been broken through are very likely Stealed by all-pervasive intelligence agents, and thus become another country completely risen under the stalemate of the light of technology, surpassing their capital.
For his own ideals, as well as for the country, Karkaroff, who was not very rich in the planned economy, also decided to advance part of the funds for research.
When he returned home, he explained all this to his wife and daughter. The understanding wife and daughter expressed great understanding and support for his ideas. Therefore, in the next two months, the appearance of the home gradually became more and more beautiful. The more empty the food was, the worse it was to eat, and in the end even the bread turned into potato soup.
It was at this time that Limulu's subordinates began to contact them, to give material support to the mother and daughter, and found the other party, expressing their willingness to give research funding, but the other party refused with righteous words.
The wife and daughter always looked supportive, but the smiles on their faces became less and less. Finally, a week ago, the conflict broke out with the closure of the textile factory where his wife worked.
Not only did the laid-off women have no compensation and relief money, they even had no money to pay their wages that were two months in arrears.
The factory itself has been empty, and the remaining machines are quite valuable, but no one can collect them—it has become a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.
The family had no money to eat, and as a last resort, the wife had a showdown and told her husband that she wanted to go to the relief station for "foreigners" to get some food back, but Karkaroff was stimulated—crack!The crisp applause was clearly recorded in this piece of photo-magic gemstone, waking up Lidelle who had almost fallen asleep.
It also made Saber's green eyes darken a bit.
She had already guessed the final outcome.
The father's slap scared the daughter, and also angered the young girl. She angrily accused her incompetent father, saying: "I have never seen such a selfish person like you." Shoot him down completely In the abyss.
Karkaroff, who was not overwhelmed by money and society, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and cried loudly in front of his daughter's words and the back of her leaving in anger.
Since it is a magic trick for monitoring rather than something like a movie, the whole picture is very flat and straightforward, and there are even many useless and blurred angles of view. In the end, Lidale narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Saber slightly aside. Some distressed and dissatisfied: "I can't live on just because of poverty, this is too..."
"I have omitted a lot of things..." Suddenly, Limulu's voice came from the side, and said lightly: "For example, Karkaroff's daughter was once admitted to the Cambridge English Department, but because of the nature of her father's work, she was not allowed to go abroad. , currently studying at the Polytechnic University of the Soviet Union."
"For another example, for a project of the country, when his wife's father died, Karkaroff chose to ignore it and let his wife kill his father alone."
"..."
"Also, he wasn't there when his daughter was born, and his wife had the highest record of taking care of the young daughter alone for six months."
"..."
"Let's not talk about the previous information, just say that in the past three months, he has paid almost everything in the family for the team, of course, including everything in the family, and even his daughter's tuition fees for the next semester will not be paid."
"Oh...the day of the quarrel was also their wedding anniversary."
Limulu looked at the last decadent Karkaroff on the screen indifferently, and turned to look at Lidelle: "Now? What kind of man do you think he is?"
"...a scumbag?" Lidal blinked slightly, then said with vacant eyes: "You won't be like that in the future, will you?"
"Of course not." Limulu spread his hands, "I'm selfish."
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked at Saber: "Karkaroff is a man highly respected by his colleagues, and his selflessness is even called the best professor in the world by the students."
"But for his family, having such a husband or father may be the greatest misfortune in their life."
"People who are selfless to the majority are doomed to ignore the feelings of a small number of people. This may be one of the rules of the world. I am not judging this phenomenon. After all, strictly speaking, sacrificing the small self for the sake of the large self is correct. Behavior, but... I just want to tell you that things like selfishness and selflessness are themselves a variant of stance, and have nothing to do with justice at all."
"Saber... Have you ever ignored the feelings of those around you because of your selflessness? Take their devotion to you for granted?"
"I didn't!" Saber slammed on the table, and she lowered her head at some point, her clenched fists trembling a little, as if she didn't want to admit it.
Seeing this scene, Limulu sighed: "Really? Think about your Knights of the Round Table..."
"Limuru!!!" There was a cute voice, Limulu turned around, and saw Lidel coming up angrily, crawling into his ear and complaining: "Don't go too far."
"Lydel, I don't want to bully her, the main reason is that if she continues like this..."
"Why bother." Seeing Limuru's hasty explanation, Lidal shook her head lightly, and whispered into Limuru's ear: "Is Saber's wish to save Britain or start over?" ? Isn’t it? Saber’s wish is to have someone else become the king from the beginning.”
"Limuru, since she has this wish, it means that she has already regretted it... She is just a poor child who clearly understands it in her heart, but can't believe it no matter what, and sticks to herself stubbornly... Why bother, Do you have to break her fantasy?"
Chapter 120, Misunderstanding because of the truth, Saber's decision.
Limulu's cruel and inhumane persecution of Saber finally came to an end, because his die-hard supporter, Lidelle, resolutely rebelled after seeing Saber lying on the table and dripping a drop of clear tears.
From Lidelle's point of view, it is obviously not something a man should do to bully a girl who is as chaste as a saint like this, especially because the reason is just "to make the other party subdue and recognize his own ideas", which is as childish as arrogance .
Faced with Lidel's persuasion, Limulu actually softened her heart when she saw the crystal at the moment when the other party bowed her head.
So he muttered: "Where is this, forget it—"
Said such a remark, but Limuru did not continue to force Saber to act with him, but walked out of the door directly, turned into a spirit son, and started to contact the next "Kakarov". Tonight, he will transform into For the devil, lure them into the abyss with ravings.
Seeing this, Saber gritted her teeth and forcefully suppressed the moisture in her blue eyes. When she stood up and wanted to follow up, Lidel gently pressed Saber's shoulder, and suddenly said: "You just let me Let him go, he's gone too far this time."
"Miss Lidal...?"
"But don't blame him, Saber, he just cares about you too much."
Lidal sat next to Saber, tilted her head and smiled lightly: "It may not be good for me to say that, but to be honest, as a bystander, I really feel aggrieved by the relationship between you two... No matter what it means Up."
"Care? Are you kidding me, Miss Lidal." Hearing this, Saber couldn't help but clenched her fists and said, "He obviously hates me as a follower to the extreme, right... The compatibility was revealed at the first meeting No, it's written all over my face that I hate you."
"He really hates you..."
"Ah……"
"Well...but how should I put it? The more I like it, the more I hate it? Oh, I can't tell..." Lidale leaned on the bar counter helplessly, raised her head and said, "That's why I sometimes get jealous Ah... where is Rimuru!"
Lidelle raised a finger and said calmly: "He is a guy who is very good at acting and is also very smooth, but, in his bones, he has the pride that is no less than anyone else, and he is an extreme perfectionist."
"You won't deny that, will you?"
"...Ah." Saber recalled the Limuru that she ran to the library of the French Paris Association branch for three days and three nights because she didn't understand a problem, and nodded silently.
"He pursues perfection in everything, and it's the same with interpersonal relationships." After seeing Saber calm down a little, Lidal smiled slightly, and said: "Be humble and polite to the existence of approval, and it is not easy to meet people with different opinions." He will refute, if he exists without qualification, he will not refute with his pride, he will only accept it humbly with a smile, and then ignore it.”
"But, among all the people, there is only one person who can make him continue to provoke disputes on his own initiative, and even try his best to design a trap to fight her...that is you."
……
"Master Limuru, this is where Dr. Havison is located. Then, I will take my leave first."
The short-haired girl maid in a suit nodded lightly, and when she was about to leave, Limulu suddenly said: "Those guys who are for the so-called beliefs and ideas, let you do it, Sasha said that your learning ability Very strong, so, have you learned it?"
"...Yes, I still understand." The girl hesitated slightly after hearing the words: "Then, Patriarch Lidel..."
"Let her go, maybe she really thinks I'm going too far this time."
"Then go." Limu Luyin smiled and said softly: "In a world doomed to a tragic ending, even if you find 1 examples, it would be a tragedy. If you remove the unfavorable nine out of ten examples, there will be one It is beneficial to bring it in front of the other party to break the other party's belief, this is what we are doing, don't you think it is too much?"
"As long as Master Limuru decides to do it, then I firmly believe that it is correct." The girl with short black hair lowered her head and said, "In terms of rationality and sensibility, Patriarch Lidel is too emotional."
"……Go ahead."
"Yes!"
If you really want to say it, I'm obviously too emotional, right?
