Chapter 1164 1146. Solve the problem
"The Scoia'tael is instigated by others, there is no doubt about it."
As Tissaya said, she straightened the tableware in front of her. , make them neat and symmetrical.
“But being incited is not a reason. What you do is what you do. I saw how the Scoia'tael treated their enemies on the way back to Gos Velen. It was nothing more than the same during Falgar's rebellion. "
"They hung people on trees as practice targets, castrated them, mutilated them, disfigured them, and burned them."
Falga's Rebellion, a terrifying character in the northern kingdoms, once launched a cruel and widespread rebellion that even covered the entire northern kingdom.
Later she was burned at the stake and was called [Bloody] Falga.
That was more than a hundred years ago.
The Yinlu Tavern under the booth platform is clean and luxurious, with warm and bright lights. People on the seats mingled with each other and talked about big business involving hundreds or thousands of Oren coins.
But amidst these comfortable background sounds, Tishaya’s calm voice was narrating scenes that smelled of blood.
"There is no doubt that the unfair treatment they have suffered as a non-human race has made them vent particularly indulgently now."
"At the same time, the captured Scoia'tael were also punished with the same punishment by humans. , and the corpses were hanging at the intersection of the roads. "
Berengar was not as particular as Tishaya. There were several crayfish claws that had been sucked dry on the table in front of him.
"Using torture and attacks to fight, I have never seen people who do this have good results."
The old demon hunter also has a long life and is well-informed, but Now that executions and tortures comparable to those during the Falga Rebellion began to appear everywhere, it still made him feel more knowledgeable.
"Yes, there is no good result."
Lan En said.
As soon as he spoke, the other three people at the table fell silent.
Although he was just eating during the social interaction just now, no one thought that his presence had become less.
In fact, he is the center from beginning to end.
Just this combination of etiquette and temperament is enough to be called dazzling and perfect.
"The Scoia'tael are immersed in the counterattack against humans. They only feel proud and proud, and they are getting deeper and deeper into vicious violence."
The young witcher continued.
"But this can only make humans hate inhuman races even more, and make them more determined to attack."
"The Scoia'tael think they can make humans afraid, but in fact they only make people who have faced them That small group of people are just scared, and more humans just feel angry.”
"But the anger of the non-human races has not been accumulated for a day or two." Margarita rested her elbow on the table, put her chin on the back of her hand, and tilted her head in Lan En's direction.
“In the past two years, massacres against non-human races have occurred in two cities in Kaedwen. The people in those cities are crazy. The same is true of Vengerberg in Aedirn, thanks to Yenai The law sheltered some dwarves and elves at that time."
Margarita sighed helplessly: "I can't expect a group of non-human races who may be massacred by humans tomorrow just because of a piece of bread to remain sane. If they were, they would probably be scared out of their minds.”
“Racial conflicts.” Berengar shook his head, “This kind of trouble can’t be solved even if the prophet Lebioda shows up. "
He shook his head, but looked at the young demon hunter who was wiping his hands with a persuasive look.
Ditto for Tissaya and Margarita.
They all know what kind of person Lan En is and what his usual reaction is like after encountering certain things.
He always wants to take care of things that he doesn't like, otherwise he won't be happy.
When he was in charge for the first time, he went to the capital of Temeria, broke into the manor of a powerful duke and killed him.
When he was in charge for the second time, he broke down the enemy's entire legion chain of command in an unprecedented battle.
People who meddle in other people's business won't live long, Vesemir always said.
Therefore, when educating the apprentices of the Wolf School, the great master of the demon hunter always told them not to think of themselves as knights who punished evil and promoted good.
They are just witchers who work and get paid.
But because of Lan En’s ability and wisdom in his mind, he has no signs of ‘not living long’ so far.
But the racial conflicts between humans and non-human races cannot be resolved by force alone.
"This is not a matter that can be solved by force alone. I know it very well."
Lan En seemed to know what they were thinking and spoke out.
“But I actually have some ideas for solving this problem, but I have neither time nor manpower.”
As he said this, the young witcher surprised the others at the table. sighed in his eyes.
Time and manpower, most of the problems encountered by people who want to do something in the world are related to these two.
Lan En took the napkin on the table and wiped his hands slowly and carefully.
His eyes were looking at the table, looking deep in thought.
“The conflict between non-human races and humans is a social atmosphere. Whether this social atmosphere originated from the original race war or was heightened by someone after the war, the reality is: this atmosphere has already Deeply rooted.”
“It cannot be done by force alone, let alone one me, what can it do if there are a hundred of me?”
"Using force to force non-human races to live in harmony with humans? If this order is really issued, what is the difference between it and fart?"
"If you want to mess up what you do, you don't have to go against it. Isn't it normal to oppose you under your banner?" "You said we want to live in harmony, then we will obey. But as long as anyone has a little complaint in his mouth, we will We should punish him in a big way."
"You said that we should strengthen supervision to avoid the expansion of unjust, false and wrongful convictions. Don’t humans just follow the curse? Isn’t it true that they are caught?”
“As far as the result is concerned, it is just a different form of racial persecution. I used to kill you directly, but now I have to put some effort into it. Framing you."
Berengar and the two sorceresses either picked up their glasses or shook their heads in silence.
What makes the social atmosphere difficult to reverse lies in its pervasiveness and the people’s resistance.
Thinking that you can suppress everything with force is just an illusion that simplifies the complex reality.
How can there be a situation in this complicated world where all problems can be solved by just one method?
Force is very useful, but it is only 'easy to use', not 'can be used anytime and anywhere'.
People will naturally rebel against things that are explicitly prohibited, and if someone takes the lead
You said you want to go in one direction, we can't resist, but okay! If you want to leave, leave! It's your fault that you've reached a dead end, and it's your fault.
Originally it was an issue of racial persecution, but later it became an issue of harsh punishments being abused and labeling expanded.
It’s hard to say which issue is more destructive between the two.
Lan En wants to solve the problem of racial oppression, but he is not a Japanese with a cramped mind.
In order to solve the problem of racial oppression, if you make yourself the biggest oppressor and force non-human races to join forces with humans, will this be regarded as 'solved'?
Then one day Lan En didn't want to do it anymore. Didn't the seemingly harmonious scene fall apart in an instant?
What kind of ‘solution’ is this?
“To solve the problem, we must start from the root.”
At this time, Tisaya, Margarita and Bellengar looked at him unconsciously.
Because the problems he is talking about now are so serious and so deep-rooted that just saying 'solved' feels unbelievable.
Is there really a solution to this?
But when they looked at the young demon hunter, he had a very convincing temperament that made people believe him unconsciously.
This temperament not only comes from his strength, but also wisdom, insight, and experience.
“If I want to solve this problem, then I need a large number of people who have a clear understanding and understanding of the problem. I need help from people who are dismissive of, or at least fed up with, the narrative of racial hatred.” place, so that the law will not easily get out of control.”
"But this kind of person." Tisaya pursed her lips and looked at Lan En blankly.
Margarita continued her words: "There are too few such people and they are too scattered."
Gathering manpower and using manpower are almost the same problems. The key to the development of civilization is also the problem from ancient times to the present.
Whoever can gather and use manpower more efficiently can control the future.
"Yes, too few. If there are few people, the continuity of the policy cannot be guaranteed, and in the end it will be distorted by others." Lan En did not avoid the question, but nodded and admitted. "But even if I want to find and train them, I don't have time."
At the end of the sentence, Lan En frowned.
The knights of the Ember Knights respect him as a god. can be trusted.
This trust went through a cruel battlefield before it was recognized.
But there are too few of them.
As for Lan En's "no time", the three people present also knew what it meant.
Ever since Lan En met the Lady of the Lake through the introduction of the half-murloc in the Dark Water, he had already made an agreement with that god.
Take care of and explore the fissures where the celestial sphere meets.
Although at present, this work does not involve too large and dangerous, aggressive worlds and races.
But how numerous are the worlds? If we really encounter even one, Lan En and the Lady of the Lake will stop them.
Perhaps the biggest trouble facing this magical medieval age is not race or class issues, but people from outside the world. Intruders, and the survival of all life is a question.
In terms of severity, Lan En's shoulders now bear a burden that no one in this world can match since ancient times.
Every time he returns from the other side of the rift between the heavenly spheres, it is an unparalleled victory.
The three of them fell silent because they all knew the weight of this agreement.
Margarita and Tissaya looked at Lan En’s side face with his head lowered.
The silver hair reflected the warm glimmer in the candlelight of the tavern.
And such a huge responsibility to ‘protect the world’ rests on this person’s shoulders. But he is still prepared to care about the 'little things' in the world.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was heavy for a while. In the end, Lan En took the lead in raising the glass filled with juice and laughed out loud.
“There’s no need to look at me like that, as if I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. Traveling between worlds is very exciting.”
“And when I come back this time, I haven’t had much trouble yet. Things can happen”
Lan En’s words, ‘Have a good rest’, didn’t even have time to say the second half.
Then there was a 'bang'.
Under the gaze of everyone, the door of Yinlu Tavern was pushed open violently, and a man dressed as a messenger ran in.
