Chapter 1562

If the conspiracy carried out by Jenny, Peter and Sean in the area around Lake Aosta is defined as a "terrorist attack", then the bloody expansion of the colonists in the New World is not also a naked act of aggression for the aborigines ?

The Midgard colonial government once made an official interpretation of this issue, claiming that the aborigines of the New World were just a lot of loose primitive tribes and did not form a "sovereign country" in the modern sense. Not the sovereign of the New World.

From this we can draw an inference that the vigorous "colonial movement" being carried out in the New World is not an act of war. any moral condemnation.

But Joan felt that this kind of rhetoric was simply untenable.

Suppose an aborigine has the following conversation with a colonist.

The aborigines asked the colonists: why did you invade us?

The colonists replied: Because you do not have a sovereign state, you are not protected by international law.

The aborigines asked again: Our ancestors established the most civilized and prosperous human kingdom in the world 40,000 years ago. Why do you think we are not a sovereign country?

The colonists replied: Because international law does not recognize your kingdom, you are not a sovereign state.

...

Obviously, isn't the terminology of the colonists typical "gangster logic" plus "circular reasoning"?

If this set of rhetoric can be established, all fallacies in the world can be packaged as truth. After all, Qiao An is a scientific researcher, and he really can't accept this kind of rhetoric full of loopholes.

The colonists might as well admit openly that we are the aggressors. It made him feel very shameful to set up a memorial archway even after becoming a robber.

What makes him even more sad is that the more he understands the various contradictions in human society, the more difficult it is for him to find an identity in this society that allows him to feel at ease.

For example, at this moment, as a subject of the Arshan Empire's overseas colonies, as a mage hired by the military, not long ago, he witnessed the damage caused by the dinosaur riot to the compatriots in Bison Town. He should have justly condemned the Wasp.

But looking at the conflict between the two sides from a higher level, how could the colonists be completely innocent?

Occupy the land of the aborigines, burn down the jungles and grasslands that the aborigines rely on for nomadic fishing and hunting, capture the aborigines and send them to mines and plantations, and tie them to iron chains as slaves. Are they not allowed to resist?

Between the colonists and the aborigines, between national sentiment, national consciousness and conscience, Qiao An couldn't find a place where he could feel a clear conscience, and he didn't know how to deal with himself.

Pinkerton coughed twice, and changed the subject stiffly.

"Ma'am, Countess Josephine Antovania de Poissons, whom we are all familiar with, asked me to give you a word."

Hearing him say the countess's name, Jenny, Peter, and Sean couldn't help but change their expressions.

"What does Sister Josephine have to say to us?"

Sean asked impatiently.

"The Countess hopes that you will stop your criminal activities and leave Lake Aosta immediately, otherwise you will bear all the consequences."

Pinkerton solemnly relays Josephine's warning.

Peter scratched his head, and said to Jenny in a low voice: "Our mission is almost done, since the eldest sister sent the message, why don't we forget it..."

Jenny waved her hand to stop him from continuing, and asked Pinkerton with a cold face: "You said that woman asked you to speak, do you have evidence?"

Pinkerton turned to look at Joan.

Joan nodded knowingly, and pulled back the hood of the cloak.

A blood mosquito flew out of the hood, changed back into the form of a giant mosquito in the air, and made a clear voice like a girl.

"Sister Jenny! Uncle Detective really didn't lie to you, the master did indeed say so, you guys hurry up!"

Of course Jenny knew Ruby, and since she was there there was nothing to doubt.

But she still couldn't swallow the breath, her beautiful face twitched slightly, and then a sneer of sneer appeared.

"Peter, Sean, if you are afraid of that woman, you should leave quickly."

"Jenny, don't be self-willed anymore, come with us!" Sean urged eagerly, "No matter what, Eldest Sister will not harm us, if you don't give her face, you will be the one who suffers in the end!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The Wasp suddenly became furious, her shoulders trembling with excitement, "One mouthful of a big sister, who calls her so dear, but does she care about you? You think she is a big sister, but I don't recognize her!"

Sean still wanted to persuade her, but Jenny had already turned around, looked up at the sky, and let out a long, piercing howl.

As if responding to her call, there was a terrifying roar from deep in the clouds, and a huge shadow flew over quickly.

Ruby looked up, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wow! What a big pterodactyl!"

"That's not a pterodactyl, it's a Fengshen pterosaur!"

Joan withdrew his gaze to the sky, quickly added protective spells, and prepared to fight.

Pinkerton and the others also had a premonition that a conflict was inevitable, and quickly blessed their spells and showed their weapons.

"Catch all those nasty guys and throw them into the lake, ask them to take a cold shower and wake up!"

The Wasp sneered and gave orders to the Fengshen pterosaur in the air.

Sean and Peter looked at each other helplessly. Although they disapproved of Jenny's paranoid approach, they couldn't bear to leave her, so they had to change into a hybrid form and prepare for battle.

"Holden, and Ruby, hurry up and stop that Fengshen pterosaur in the air!" Audrey said eagerly.

"No problem!" Holding a sword in his right hand and a gun in his left, Holden spread his dragon wings and soared into the air.

Ruby cast a spell to summon ten giant mosquitoes, and led the giant mosquito guards to fly into the sky to assist Mr. Poet against the huge pterosaur.

Audrey was worried, and summoned the Heavenly Mara Faye to ride on it, and said to Joan, Hyrule and Pinkerton: "I will leave the enemies on the ground to you, and I will help Ruby and Holden deal with the wind god." Pterodactyl."

Pinkerton nodded, raised his cane, and approached the Wasp with a cold face. The hound Karl followed behind his master loyally, his eyes full of vigilance.

Hailar also raised the wave-bladed giant sword, using the professional ability of the magic warrior, temporarily enchanted the giant sword with "electric shock" special effects, and crackling blue arcs flickered around the blade.

"Sean, Peter, if you don't want to leave, help me deal with the detective and the female swordsman."

Jenny stared at Joan, her eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"That little mage in black robe fought with me in Bailun Mountain last year. I want to weigh how much this kid has improved in the past year."

The corners of her lips curled into a dangerous arc, and Wasp raised her right hand, and a blazing flame burst out from her palm.

Under the restraint of magic power, the pillar of fire quickly condensed into a red scimitar, exuding a suffocating heat, just like the murderous aura in the eyes of the Wasp.
