Chapter 651: Standpoint

After the contact was over, the atmosphere in the camp was quite awkward.

Not only were the drow and Danilo dumbfounded, but even Emilia and Kasim didn't know what to say.

Emilia knew the rules of the Tribunal. After all, Duanmu Huai had told her that the Tribunal protected humans, not justice. At that time, Emilia didn't quite understand this sentence, but now... she more or less understood what Duanmu Huai meant.

This was actually quite complicated for Emilia.

Because, on the continent of Faerun, humans don't have a racial patron god.

There are almost two types of gods on the continent of Faerun, one is the god of profession and faith, and the other is the god of race.

Take Rose for example. Whether it's good or bad, Rose does protect all drow, but in turn, Rose only protects drow. Other races, such as humans, will be disdained by Rose even if they show loyalty to Rose.

Basically, most races on the continent of Faerun, except humans, have their own racial patron gods.

For example, the god of elves is Corellon.

The gods of the drow elves are Lolth and Eilistraee.

The god of the dwarves is Moradin, and the gray dwarves believe in Ladugu.

Metal dragons believe in Bahamut, and chromatic dragons believe in Tiamat.

The dwarves believe in Garshimmergold.

The goddess of halflings is Udala.

Even the mind flayers have their own god, Ithesne.

Even those half-bloods, such as half-elves, will be blessed by the gods of their race if you work hard to excel.

On the contrary, humans... do not have gods that protect their own race.

On this continent, there are many human believers who believe in gods, but the gods they believe in are not only concerned about humans.

Take Tyr, the god of justice that Emilia believes in, for example. Although humans account for the majority of paladins who believe in Tyr, there are other races too—Isn't Erebeth an elven paladin?

Although there are also mortal enemies among the races, that is generally when they meet. When they don't meet, they basically don't interfere with each other and never interact with each other.

For example, elves and drow elves, if an elf sees a drow elf on the surface, it will definitely chase and kill it without any discussion, but the elf will not be idle and organize a large army to go deep into the dark area to slaughter the drow elves' city.

So like Duanmu Huai, you have caused a threat to humans, so I want to kill your whole family... This kind of thing has never been seen.

So Emilia's mood at the moment is very complicated.

On the one hand, she admits that the drow elves are indeed an evil race, and the brutality and evil shown by the drow elves' raid in Waterdeep City do need to be eliminated.

But on the other hand, racial genocide does not seem to be just, even if it is a drow elf... uh, it should not be done like this, right? ?

Thinking of this, Emilia couldn't help but look at the drow behind Danilo. She understood why the other party would investigate this matter. Although Eilistraee and Rose were mortal enemies, both sides were drow elves who protected each other. Now the Inquisition looked like it was going to kill all the drow elves. It would be strange if Eilistraee was not worried.

"But it's wrong to do this!"

Just when Emilia was still struggling, Danilo spoke up, and when she heard Danilo's objection, Jiawei raised her eyebrows.

"Why is it wrong? Don't you humans also go to encircle and destroy the nests of those goblin kobolds? Do you deliberately leave a few alive?"

"This............"

Hearing this, Emilia, Kasim and Rosha all showed some embarrassment on their faces. As paladins and adventurers, they have helped nearby farmers to expel and destroy goblin nests more than once.

Of course, it is impossible to deliberately let the goblins live. They all know that although the goblins are weak, they are cunning, evil and cruel. Once one is let go, they will inevitably lead the goblins from other nests to seek revenge in the future. As paladins and adventurers, it is impossible for everyone to stay on the farm to protect it all the time, so the best way is to cut the grass and root it out.

"But the drow and the goblins are different!"

"They are all the same in the eyes of the Inquisition."

Jiawei snorted coldly and looked at Ogis.

"Are you right, sister?"

"……………………"

Ogis was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"As long as the aliens that threaten humans are enemies."

Then she spoke.

"……………………"

"Then since your mission is completed, leave quickly, we have to go back too. The master has warned you, you deserve it if you don't listen."

Jiawei made a face at everyone, then pulled Ogis and turned away, while the others stared blankly at the backs of the two disappearing, and did not speak for a long time.

Finally, Emilia coughed and looked at Danilo.

"Mr. Danilo, we have Master Khelbourne's voice stone. How about you contact him first?"

Even as a follower of Tyr, Emilia found this matter a bit difficult to handle. If she felt that massacring the drow was wrong, it meant that their previous actions of encircling and suppressing the goblin kobolds were also wrong. But if she was right, she always felt a little awkward. Danilo seemed not to give up just yet. But luckily, Kelben also gave them a sound stone, which was similar to the magic world. Things like phones are just consumables and can only be used once.

Now that Danilo has been found, Emilia decided to complete her mission first, and then slowly think about whether the act of massacring the drow was just.

"Okay, thank you."

Danilo also calmed down at this moment. He nodded to Emilia, took the sound transmission stone from her, then walked to the other side and started to contact Master Kelben.

And here...

"Miss Amelia, what should we do next?"

Cassim and Rosha were both a little confused at the moment, but as adventurers, they were not religious paladins like Emilia, so they had no special thoughts about the drow being eliminated. Especially when Qi Wei said that this was the same as destroying the lair of monsters such as goblins, the two of them quickly accepted this statement.

After all, as low-level adventurers, they sympathized with the suffering life of the lower class people. They worked hard for a year, and then when the autumn harvest came, the goblins came and killed their children and livestock and took away their wealth. food, and then burn their homes with fire - this kind of hatred can only be relieved by the destruction of the other party. Those farmers don't care if destroying the goblin's lair is an evil act, they just want these damn goblins to die.

So compared to Emilia, Cassim and Rosia returned to normal quickly.

"We'd better return to the surface as soon as possible. To be honest, just like those dwarfs said, the Underdark... is really not suitable for us."

"That's right."

Luo Xia also nodded vigorously.

"I still miss the sun and the sky..."

Although the adventure stories of the Underdark sung by the bards in the tavern made people yearn for it, when they actually came here, they discovered that this place was simply a painful hell.

Now they can't wait to return to the surface and enjoy the warm sunshine and sea breeze.

"I...maybe I should go back to the temple and ask for Tyr's guidance."

Emilia was also a little hesitant. She felt that what she had done before was not wrong, but she soon realized that she was a human after all. She could fight for humans and justice, but to prevent the drow from being Is the massacre just? Emilia didn't have an answer either.

The Inquisition is simple and crude, and anyone who threatens the existence of human beings must die.

Now Amelia understands for herself why Duanmu Huai said that justice was an ambiguous goal.

Is helping the evil drow the right thing to do?

Is it justice to sit back and watch the drow be slaughtered?

What exactly is justice?

Now Emilia also feels physically and mentally exhausted. She just hopes that she can return to the Temple of Tyr, think carefully, and seek guidance from the gods.

At this moment, Danilo also came back, and Amelia looked at him. She originally thought that the other party would insist on investigating, but Danilo's reaction was beyond Amelia's expectations.

"I want to leave the Underdark with you."

Danilo said with a serious expression.

"The Inquisition is an unpredictable force. We must investigate and learn their true purpose...so I'm sorry, I can no longer continue to pursue it with you."

As he spoke, Danilo saluted the drow elves behind him, who also nodded in agreement.

"I can understand your decision, Danilo. This is our clan's business, and perhaps... it is also the inevitable outcome that our clan will face if we do many unjust things."

The drow showed a wry smile, and Emilia noticed that there was some strange emotion in her eyes when she looked at Danilo, but Emilia decided wisely not to care about it.

Soon, the two sides separated. Emilia and others took Danilo back on their way back, while the drow elves disappeared into the darkness, as always.

"......Master, they have left."

"Yeah, quite obedient."

Duanmu Huai was a little surprised when he heard Ogis' report. He originally thought that the Harper would get to the bottom of it - but forget it, the Inquisition is not afraid of this either.

It’s not anyone else’s turn to tell them what they want to do and what they should do.

On the contrary, what is in front of me... How should I put it, the spirit thing is really wonderful.

"Keep moving forward...! We will spread glory and reunite all drow!!"

Duanmuhuai looked silently at Feirui, who was sitting on a chair and being carried away. His eyes looked a little strange. The joy brought by victory after victory had completely distorted the spirit of this drow elf. , at this moment, she was no longer satisfied with her status as the only priest that the Spider Queen valued. In her mind, she was the Spider Queen's clone!

That's right, at this moment, Fairy already thinks that she is the daughter of the Spider Queen. She is the only bloodline of the Spider Queen that has remained in this world through some method!

Well, this reminds Duanmu Huai of the Emperor's children who were burned to death by the Inquisition... I don't know how many of them are as insane as Firri and claim that they can lead the empire to light.

Now Firri has completely lost the shadow of the timid and cautious drow priest at the beginning. She is like a queen, a tyrant, and no one can disobey her orders. And her goals are getting bigger and bigger. She is eager to conquer all civilizations in the entire Underdark, and then kill on the surface and rule the whole world. She is convinced that under the leadership of the Spider Queen, no one will be her opponent.

Fortunately, the drow elves surrounding her are not normal people, they are all a group of mentally polluted lunatics.

It seems that transforming the mind is indeed a dangerous thing.

Staring at Firri, Duanmu Huai confirmed this again. If he took the initiative to manipulate Firri, once Firri's mental breakdown reached this level, then she would obviously conflict with him and might even resist his orders. But now it's good. Duanmu Huai is just silently influencing her behind the scenes, and even Firri herself didn't realize that this construct is not a construct.

She believes that everything she thinks is true, and everything she does is absolutely correct. No one influences her thinking. It is all her own decision.

Hmm... But what does this have to do with Duanmu Huai? He is just a simple and harmless construct.
