Chapter 1021 1003. This city owes us!
"Let him leave Novigrad, or let the shapeshifter leave Novigrad?"
Dudu's tone was low.
After hearing Lan En’s suggestion, Dudu, who was comforted by the [Yaxi Seal], did seem to have settled down.
But when Lan En looked at the expression on the halfling's face, he felt that he was even more determined now than before.
"No, we will not leave Novigrad."
His tone no longer sounded like a relaxed and cheerful halfling, but with a sense of weathered determination and determination that no one could persuade others to do. Useless tone.
Under this tone, other people in the room also became serious and silent.
“We can become an unknown person, even a beggar, but we will not leave Novigrad, and we will never become shapeshifters in the wilderness. This city owes us ! ”
“When humans took this city away from the elves, they also destroyed the natural environment where we originally lived. We were hunted down like mad dogs, and only a few of them were almost extinct. Survived, including me."
"You want to know why I'm as cautious as a frightened rabbit, Ser Lane? You haven't been through that kind of life, so of course you don't understand me."
"Wolves attacked me, and then I became I became a wolf and wandered among their pack for several weeks. This is how I survived."
"Life in Novigrad is so much better than in the wilderness. I don’t have to wander around in the woods, looking for holes under tree stumps to spend the winter, and I don’t have to go hungry and be chased and shot like prey.”
“Novigrad has warm shelter and food. They make a living by working, and the residents here don’t often hunt each other with bows and arrows.”
Finally, Dudu looked around at the other silent people in the room with anger.
This anger is not directed at a certain object, but for the situation of one's own species.
They couldn't stop humans from encroaching on territory, and they couldn't even stop humans from racial hatred and persecution of the indigenous people in the future. Now they are retreating again and again. I just want to get the right for intelligent life to survive in a big city.
Become part of the gears of society.
Dudu finally said through gritted teeth.
"If you want us to return to the 'original ecology', then you are cultivating animals. Only cultivating animals will pursue primitiveness. We are intelligent life! We have intelligence and feelings!"
"We are no worse than you, our bodies and souls are no worse than you! We have the right to enter civilized life! Enjoy the convenience brought by the development of civilization!"
Everyone is silent.
No one present is racist, and they are even disgusted by racial persecution.
But this should undoubtedly be the first time that they met an endangered mainland aborigine and explained their ideas to a group of humans.
——You humans are cruel and greedy, so be strong. But on this continent, are even the last wishes of the indigenous people for survival really to be trampled to death?
"Of course." Lan En whispered in the silence, "Of course you have the right to live and enjoy the conveniences of civilization, Dudu."
The halfling turned to look at the man sitting on the chair. Tall witcher.
"Although the reason why you refuse to leave Novigrad is not rational, no one can say anything. Then there can be another plan."
"As long as you give up the command of the temple guards It’s good to have an eye-catching status like an official. Like you said, just do an ordinary job to support yourself.”
Lan En stretched out his hand towards Dudu.
"If he can't hold on anymore, I welcome you to have a helper. I can also pay the salary of an assistant, my professional manager."
The halfling was stunned, then pursed his lips, Nod heavily.
"Then. I wish us a happy cooperation, Sir Lan En."
"Just call me Lan En."
Dudu wiped his face with both hands. , turned around and prepared to walk out of the room to go find his shapeshifter friend to share the information just now.
"Can I come with you?"
Geralt also stood up and said.
Shapeshifters are very capable and can even imitate the mutated body of a witcher.
But they are kind-hearted by nature, and their fighting ability cannot reach the level of their original owners when they are not murderous.
But Dudu refused.
"No, you'd better not follow, Geralt. I've met Chapelle many times, and Eternal Flame calls you mutants. If you follow, you'll be more conspicuous."
Geralt After thinking about it for a while, he sat down again.
And Dudu walked straight out of the door. As the door opened and closed, he had transformed into a human male wearing a white tights and a leather vest.
After Dudu left, the whole room remained silent for a while.
Racial conflicts, racial oppression, and genocide, humans have implemented these methods on a large scale after landing on this continent.
To this day, although the scale is not as large as before, the indigenous people who have been forcibly suppressed by humans still live in racial discrimination.
I heard that in the capital of Kaedwen, Ard Kalai, there have been two or three massacres against inhuman races since the current king Henselt came to the throne.
The wealth accumulated by elves, dwarves, and halflings is just because they are not human beings, so angry beggars and hooligans can kill the owners of the wealth and divide it up.
Henselt said that it was 'the anger caused by the righteous people'. But if he did not collect taxes accurately according to the amount of robbery, the credibility of this statement should increase a lot. At first, there were still non-human races who reluctantly believed it, but after this incident broke out several times, there were almost no non-human races left to live or buy property in the city.
Because they all know that living there will only become a target for robbery in the future.
The people in the room were not farmers or poor people who were illiterate, so they all knew.
Ordinary non-human races are no different from ordinary humans. Most of the hatred between races is deliberately heightened.
In order to cover up the contradiction between the nobility and the common people, and to cover up the alliance and discord between big businessmen, industrial unions and the nobility
This is incorrect.
Lan En knew this clearly in his heart.
And
The young witcher's hands tightened and unclenched.
The surgically strengthened muscles, bones, and tendons connected with steel wire cables, and the stacking of various technologies, made his strength far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Unlike when he first arrived, when he couldn't even care about his own safety, he now has the power and influence that may be able to change this phenomenon!
It's just that this kind of thing is completely different from killing a powerful monster single-handedly.
This requires a perfect organization and the support of the people
But he cannot spend all his time in this world, because he is still the one who made the agreement with the lady in the lake.
Is the champion chosen by the goddess.
If it is important or not, guarding the rift between the celestial spheres together with the Lady in the Lake is even more important than the safety of the entire continent.
Because it concerns the whole world.
And if, as the leader of an organization, he disappears from public view for several months for no reason, it will happen again every once in a while.
Such an organization cannot be stable and will not have high potential.
The reason why the Ember Knights have no problem is that the individual quality of the Ember Knights is too high, and there are not many of them. All of them have personally followed Lan across the Soden Mountain battlefield.
Once an organization faces personnel expansion and influence expansion, they cannot spread their advantages to the entire organization.
And to be honest, Lan En's current fearful attitude in every kingdom that mentions him is largely due to his lack of worries.
If he really had a huge and bloated organization that he devoted his efforts to, he might not be as 'free' as he is now.
However, these questions passed through Lan En's mind one by one.
It only took a short time. Mentos' computing power matched Lan En's education and experience gained from [Memory Diving].
In fact, it’s not like he doesn’t have the means to get things done.
It's just that he needs to wait for the right opportunity -
Dudu's things were done very quickly. It took almost two hours to go back and forth. He returned to the room in the Kingfisher Tavern again at night. .
Shapelle had already gotten angry with him and knew about the Manji brothers’ plan to bring him down.
In fact, he had already anticipated this.
After all, it is impossible for him to do the same thing as the original Shapelle, nor can he be as cruel as that human being.
Changes in personality and approach to things are bound to arouse suspicion.
Even without the Manji brothers, those under him who are eyeing the commander's position and want to climb up will notice it.
Suppression is useless, even killing people is useless.
Because there is no end to this kind of people.
“As long as there are still people who want to climb up, they will definitely target him. He is too conspicuous and too abnormal.”
Dudu huddled on a chair in the room, speaking in a low tone, taking a sip from the wine glass in his hand from time to time.
"A guy who dared not kill actually sat in the position of the temple guard commander. After a long time, everyone knew that it was abnormal."
"Thank you, Lan En." He said , Dudu raised his cup to thank Lan En who was sitting on the bed.
“You reminded him and left him a job opportunity.”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Lan En was playing with the flannel ball. The kitten curled up in a ball on the bed to sleep in the afternoon and was very energetic right now.
He pinched a sausage into small pieces with his hands, then threw it into the air. The velvet ball quickly caught it in the air, and then ate the snacks.
Elu cats play very much like ordinary cats.
"It has been a long time since he replaced Chapelle as commander, and he is very capable to be able to do so before being caught by others. I will also feel honored that he works for me."< br>
“No matter what.” Although Dudu was a little depressed, he still said solemnly, “We will make good use of your personal assets, don’t worry.”
Lan En's initial goal when he came to Novigrad was accomplished. He found a professional manager he could trust.
Although there were a lot of problems in the middle, it was still complete.
