Chapter 33 Necessary Cruelty
“Onomamus.”
“Onomamus.”
In Honor’s dream, he was talking to Some warriors carved triumphal ropes for each other, and while they were carving, they talked about the deaths of the nobles just now.
At this moment of joy, everything around him suddenly disappeared, and Honor's dream changed.
"Old Bear" saw Qin Xia.
"This..."
"This is not a dream."
When Honor wanted to ask, Qin Xia answered first.
“You know I am a wizard, I can talk to you in your dreams.”
Qin Xia said and motioned for Honor to sit down.
The two sat opposite each other in the dream.
Hono was very confused. He and Qin Xia were obviously in the cave, and he could call him up to talk, but Qin Xia had to use witchcraft to talk in dreams.
However, the experienced Honor quickly guessed that the conversation that followed could not be known to others.
“What do you want me to do?”
While Honor was thinking, another person appeared.
Kleist walked out of the darkness and sat down in front of the bonfire that suddenly appeared in front of Qin Xia and Honor.
The female gladiator yawned, looked around subconsciously, and realized that this was not a cave.
"Yes, you are in a dream and have not woken up." Qin Xia answered Kleist before he asked the question, "I just pulled you into a dream. What we say next is ours It needs to be discussed in private.”
“What are you saying? It’s so mysterious.” Kleist immediately listened seriously.
"Do you remember what happened during the day?" Qin Xia said, "Yochula was almost killed by the Skinner, and the Nusa twins wanted to kill Angron."
Kleist and Honor nodded at the same time , of course they remember.
"Next." Qin Xia focused on Onuo alone, "You have to put forward a no-kill principle to others. As the name suggests, no gladiators are allowed to kill each other in regular gladiatorial combat."
Hono was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously: "I'm very happy. But you are not the only one who has this idea. I also called on the gladiators not to kill each other in regular gladiatorial combat, but they all ignored my words. Just throw it away, I don’t have the same appeal and intimidation as you and Angron.”
“It’s precisely because you don’t have it that I need you to raise this matter.” Qin Xia motioned to Honor to listen to him first. Say, "I need you to bring it up, and then ask me for my opinion after you bring it up. I will not take a position."
Honor looked puzzled.
He didn’t understand that if there was a need to formulate a rule that everyone had to abide by, why didn’t people with charisma and deterrence like Qin Xia and Angron do it?
Even Qin Xia, who proposed this suggestion to himself, said that he would not express his opinion when he asked him for his opinion.
“He’s not stupid, he’s too kind.” Kleist patted the “old bear” on the back, “No matter how scary this old bear looks, Honor is so kind at heart. . "
Honor looked at Kleist and cast the same doubtful look.
In order to make Honor understand, Kleist asked Qin Xia knowingly: "There will definitely be people who clearly refuse to abide by the no-kill principle proposed by Honor, so what will happen to those who refuse."
"Those who refuse to abide by the no-kill principle will be killed." Qin Xia said in an understatement. "Remember the opponents, and then find a way to kill them in regular or large-scale gladiatorial battles." Qin Xia said answer.
"Yes." Kleist stretched out his fist.
Qin Xia and Kleist fist bumped.
Ono was particularly horrified: "If the no-kill principle is to protect people, then why do we kill those who are unwilling to abide by the no-kill principle?"
"It's to protect people, yes, but it's only to protect people who deserve to be protected." Qin Xia responded calmly, "For a pure beast like the Skinner, even if he abides by the no-kill principle, he still has to find a way to kill him. Of course, Kleist has killed him, well done.”
“I will never show mercy to the damned, brother.” Kleist smiled and pointed to his heart, meaning I understand. You, then bump fists with Qin Xia again.
She was obviously very happy to accept this proposal regarding the no-kill principle.
"If we single out and kill those who do not follow the rules, what is the difference between us and the Skinners and the Noosa Twins? We are all executioners." Honor was still unwilling to accept it.
Qin Xia looked at Honor.
His eyes did not become cold due to Honor's resistance, but looked at him with respect and kindness.
"You are a kind person." Qin Xia spoke slowly. He had already remembered why the name Onomamus sounded familiar to him.
Onomamus.
The kindest gladiator in the arena, when Angron thought that all the spectators were vicious people, Onomamus said to Angron, "Watching us die can make them feel alive." ".
If all goes as planned, Onomamus will be killed by Angron after Angron is nailed.
“Your soul releases light.”
Qin Xia’s eyes were covered with a layer of white light.
“It is the glory of Nuceria that you were born in Nuceria.”
“Anyone who is lucky enough to be acquainted with you is lucky enough, because they will directly Or indirectly receive your care.”
"But..."
The spiritual light in Qin Xia's eyes disappeared.
“We can’t do anything with kindness and justice alone.”
Hearing this, Honor lowered his head, feeling annoyed.
“I don’t want to kill anyone.” Qin Xia said, “If I can, I want to save everyone, even those who don’t deserve to be saved by me. I want to save them, but I am not a god.”< br>
"If I had to choose, I would choose the people I care about and abandon the people I don't care about."
"A wizard mentor once said to me that people come first, things come first, things have priorities, and feelings have closeness and distance. , so this choice is not shameful."
Listening to what Qin Xia said, Aonuo raised his head, took a deep breath, and asked softly: "Can't we remove those who are unwilling to abide by the no-kill principle. Separate people, isolate them, be wary of them... They are gladiators, the oppressed, they are not nobles..."
"What we need to do is not just protect ourselves in the arena." Qin. Xia explained, "We still need to escape. The slave owners will even encourage us to try to escape, but those who just want to stay in the arena will do bad things."
"The no-kill principle is just A test.”
"It's just a test of who can cooperate and who can't. Whether it's in a fight or on our way out of trouble in the future."
After hearing what Qin Xia said, Honor lowered himself again head.
He is not stupid. He knows that Qin Xia will explain so much to him because he is cared about by Qin Xia.
Like Angron, Kleist.
Otherwise, Qin Xia wouldn't say anything. At worst, he would be killed as an old guy named Onomamus as a non-cooperator.
It's too easy for a wizard to kill someone.
"Am I a cruel and cold-blooded person in your eyes? So you are unwilling to accept it?" Qin Xia suddenly asked.
"No, but you are definitely not as kind as me."
Hono said this with a soft tone and gentle eyes.
Qin Xia can read some information from this expression: Honor understands everything, but he is so kind and gentle that this moral quality becomes an insurmountable hurdle for his rationality.
Honor continued: "I have lived until now, and I have rationally accepted that only kindness and a sense of justice can do nothing."
"You are not as kind as me, but you are far more rational and intelligent than me. , is far better at doing the right things than I am. I believe that if I, Onomamus, were replaced by you, I would never be in the arena now, feeling depressed about my past mistakes.”
"Reason tells me that you kill people, but you can save more people."
Hearing this, Qin Xia became more convinced that Honor understood, but it was just on his own that no one could persuade him, and it was difficult to overcome the hurdle in his heart. .
In today’s conversation in the dream, Qin Xia didn’t necessarily want Honor to do anything, he just wanted Honor to understand some truth.
"Today you helped me confirm a problem that has been bothering me for a long time." Honor said, "Thank you."
Qin Xia nodded lightly: "I just have to tell you, Angron and Kress I would like to explain that you are not required to tell the gladiators about the no-kill principle, just let Yochula do the same."
"I will tell you," Honor replied calmly.
Qin Xia silently broke away from Honor's dream and prepared to go to Angron's dream, concentrating on the past.
Angron's brain is not that easy to penetrate, and his psychic resistance is better than that of a certain brother who is ranked thirteenth among the original bodies and likes blue and single combat, and has a little humor.
