Chapter 262 Public trial of paladins
"You should maintain the necessary respect for a theoretical teacher who re-examines and sorts out justice. This is also respecting yourself, natural paladin," Li Qi said old-fashioned.

The paladins are all choking, naturally send paladins?
Gronia whispered: "Where do you have the qualifications to designate a faction for us paladins? We are..."

She didn't have any more to say, but Mayne picked it up: "The Xinyi Absolute Dual-wielding Sword Self-Proving Incarnation School? The Xinyi Absolute Two-Handed Sword Self-Proving Returning School?"

Mayne's muttering reached Xia An's ears, and he smiled helplessly. This is the biggest weakness of a paladin.

Long De's will was split, and the paladin order went their own way, using the various oracles left by Long De to express freely, and came up with various versions of the gods.In these scriptures, justice is contradictory and confused, and countless factions have been split.

If it wasn't for the fact that the earliest God's Books with little differences still had some credibility and became the so-called "Original God's Books", it would have been difficult for him to gather hundreds of paladins from different factions on the Shenyun Plateau.

Curiosity finally prevailed, and Xia An asked: "According to your division, the absolute paladins belong to the natural sect, and the relative paladins are also the oath sect? Then there are two directions of justice, how should we divide them?" ?”

Li Qi patiently continued to teach: "So the relative absolute division is unscientific...untruthful. Since justice is the way to protect the ultimate good, then we should find a foothold from different angles of mortals."

"Oath justice starts from the relationship between people, and natural justice starts from the natural nature of mortals. The justice in the third direction is still a little strange to you, but that is the direction where the dawn star shines. You can talk about it."

Xia An nodded to indicate to continue, with the expression of "I'll just hear what new tricks you can come up with" on his face.

"The third direction of justice is justice based on human rights. This direction is actually differentiated from the natural school..."

Because this part of the content is modern, Li Qi did not take too much effort to digest it, and said it fluently: "Natural justice is not a written law. Mortal society is becoming more and more complicated, and it is impossible to resolve all disputes by relying on the instinct of the human heart. Then in the oath Besides, is there no other starting point to establish a complete and strict law to realize justice?"

"The answer is yes. If we take out the part of natural justice that belongs to human rights as a fulcrum, we can find a new direction."

"In natural justice, the rights of man are those which man naturally enjoys. Neither the written law, nor the covenant between man and man, nor the covenant between men and kingdoms, is superior to it, nor is it more sacred. It requires no other to grant, Others or groups must recognize it as a right of universal validity, a right that cannot be revoked or despised under any circumstances."

Xia An coughed, and "transmission" said: "This seems to be a blasphemous statement, right? We paladins do put mortals first, and to practice justice is to practice... Well, it can be regarded as the best way to protect mortals, But compared to the rights of mortals, isn't the recognition and bestowal of the gods more prior and sacred?"

This was not only Xia An's question, but tens of thousands of people in the audience were also stunned.

It's nothing more than emphasizing the rights of common people in front of nobles and kings, they are all mortals anyway.The idea that all men are created equal, even in the dark ages, has sparked.It can be expanded to the relationship between gods and mortals... Good gods love mortals, but it doesn't mean that mortals can be proud of their favor and put their own meaning of existence above the gods.

"We're just talking about justice for mortals..."

Li Qi said calmly: "Don't forget that I am a pope, who else is more qualified than me to judge what is blasphemy and what is not?"

Xia An looked at Li Qi suspiciously, but the audience was calm. That's right, the Duke of Pryor is still the pope of the revived Eros. How could he be blasphemy?The words that sounded like blasphemy just now really have other meanings.

Xia An thought about it again, nodded and said: "If there is such justice, and the relationship between gods and humans can be reconfirmed, that would be really good."

Want to be a human rights paladin?In the future, if this faction of paladins really appears, they will be the most righteous at first, but in the end they will definitely degenerate into the white left virgin whore...

Pressing down on the thought of leading to another world, Li Qi changed the subject: "Okay, I have reorganized the justice of your paladins and decided that you are naturalists. Do you agree with this?"

"and many more!"

Xia An waved his hand: "You said just now that there are four directions, but now you only mentioned three directions."

"The fourth direction?"

Li Qi said: "The fourth direction is the justice that protects the best way of our lord. I'm sure that you paladins in Xia'andia are not protecting the red justice, so there's no need to say it."

Nama in the audience laughed and said, "Let's talk about four first. If you make up three, you won't be able to make up any more."

Xia An asked: "The justice in the three directions you mentioned sounds very good, but it can't protect the path of Lady Scarlet. This makes me curious, what kind of justice does your god want?"

"Only when these three justices bloom like flowers in Fein, and then show signs of decay, the red justice will appear."

Li Qi played tricks: "I will let you know when we have resolved the dispute in front of us and can still maintain a friendly relationship, and you are willing to take a new path of justice."

Abolish private ownership, eliminate alienated labor, create social conditions for people to achieve all-round development, and realize justice from form to substance!This is the justice that can only be achieved in a patriarchal society, and it is also the highest standard and ultimate presentation of justice. This is the red justice!

It's a pity that I can't spray out this passage that I've memorized so well that I chewed it thoroughly.

Xia An was not bothered by Li Qi's retaliation: "Your division of justice has given me a lot of new insights. Compared with the chaotic justice of paladins, it is indeed more convincing."

"tutor!"

"Uncle!"

Nama, Gloria and the others subconsciously shouted that, as paladins, they accept other people's definition of justice. This is not just a shame, but a matter of position.

Nama said anxiously: "Teacher, we have the God's Tome of Yuanchu, and the justice recorded in the God's Tome is more in line with the will of the gods than what he said... He is not even a paladin, so what qualifications does he have to criticize justice? ?”

"Nama... the king uses power and responsibility to rule the country instead of justice, and the nobles use kindness instead of justice to protect the people. Even our Xia'andia was built with unity and friendship instead of justice."

Xia An said calmly: "It is true that there are only trials and law enforcement in justice, and there are only fair trials and law enforcement. Justice cannot exist independently. Ask yourself, do you really think that justice is prior to everything?"

Mayne spoke bluntly: "That's right, don't we all wait for someone to do something before deciding whether it's right or wrong? The creeds in the scriptures all say this kind of thing."

Nama was silent, and Glonia was thoughtful.

Xia An asked Li Qi again: "According to your division of justice, we belong to the natural school, but I don't know much about this conclusion, can you elaborate?"

"this is very simple……"

Li Qi raised his wrist and adjusted the displayed information to an AR mode that only he could see.To be honest, he didn't fully understand this part of the content, so now he has to parrot it.

'Natural paladins believe in justice based on natural law, similar to what you call the instinct of the human heart. "

"What is the law of nature? It is the law of heaven, the kindness that mortals can directly touch by relying on reason and emotion."

"If you think the paladins of the natural sect are awkward, they can also be called paladins of the heavenly sect. The justice they want to practice is the kindness in the instinct of mortals. This is also the law that people are born with. Words need neither proof nor creation."

"I've given some examples before, maybe it's too general for you to fully comprehend, now I'll give more straightforward examples, such as murder for life, debt repayment, gratitude, and so on."

Li Qi said nonchalantly: "I know a paladin of the Tianli Sect, named David Hume."

Hume’s words are certainly not nonsense: “He summed up the three most basic laws of nature, the first is that private property is inviolable, the second is voluntary transactions, and the third is keeping your word.”

Xia An thought for a while, then sighed: "Indeed, only this kind of justice is absolute. I agree that we are naturalists."

He smiled again and said, "Then what? Naturally sent paladins don't have the privilege of representing justice, so they must be judged?"

"No, all paladins do not have the privilege of not being judged."

Li Qixin said that we have finally advanced to this stage, and now we will wash the minds of you paladins.

"The most important thing about what I just said is not the division of justice, but the determination that justice cannot exist independently. Since justice is the way to protect the best, the paladin should be integrated into a certain path, into the country and society , lead by example to practice justice!"

"A paladin can be a judge, a sheriff, a bounty-free criminal hunter. To defend the way, to mend it, to correct it, not to destroy it with the privilege of justice! Justice is a privilege The premise is that the paladin speaks for the justice of this path, he must be subordinate to this path, and cannot override it! This means that his privilege is the same as that of a soldier, only being able to use violence on behalf of the country, and There is no privilege of immunity from trial!"

"Think about the current situation of your paladins, the image of your paladins among the people of Fein..."

Li Qi was very rude: "Crazy! Crazy! A fringe character who has left society and is cast aside by the people!"

Xia An was expressionless, and the other paladins looked like they were itching their teeth with hatred, but they couldn't refute.

"Why? Why are paladins who are supposed to be respected by people hated by people? Why are paladins who are supposed to defend the world with justice and make the world a better place, have been playing soy sauce for several epochs? I mean... Do nothing?"

"Is it just because your god's will is split? Don't tell me you don't think so! The incarnation faction, the return faction, no matter what faction, regard Longde's normal spirit and the hope of returning to the kingdom of God as a sign of the revival of the paladins , it seems that only in this way can true justice be found, so what are you doing now? Afraid that you will be abandoned by the gods and no longer represent justice, so hysterically vent your fear and prove your existence?"

All the paladins were silent, but except for Xia An, everyone clenched their fists, their cheeks flushed, and even Mayne stood up, his body trembling slightly.

"well said--!"

There was a lot of people in the audience, and there seemed to be something like a microphone walking through the crowd, letting the voices of the discussion resound through the square through the loudspeaker.

A halfling with a high-pitched voice said: "When you meet a paladin, you must run away, and you can't go around. You are lucky if you just run into you. Most of the time, he will jump up and step on your head. This is an ancestral motto passed down in my family for dozens of generations."

A certain woman said angrily, "Master Paladin, you were not there when we were being bullied, and you jumped out and said it was unfair when we were earning food. Are we body workers not human?"

With a deep voice with a northern accent, he said: "When I first arrived at the Godfall Plateau, my senior taught me a word, fire prevention, theft and protection against paladins. I thought paladins were bad guys. I was wrong, paladins are not bad guys, they are more Bad guys are even more annoying! Bad guys at least know that they are doing bad things, paladins are messing around, and they still put on a face that I am a good person..."

This made the paladins even more resentful. Seeing the violently heaving chests of the red-haired, purple-haired female paladins, Li Qi felt slightly worried.

A thunder crackled and exploded in mid-air, golden light bloomed, and the attack on the paladins in the square suddenly stopped, and many people twisted their ankles and started to prepare to run.

The legendary paladin is angry!

Xia An put down his arms, although his face was terribly gloomy, he didn't make a move after all.

"For the sake of you being the spokesperson of Lady Scarlet, I will not hold you accountable for offending His Majesty Longde."

He said bitterly: "As for your criticism of the paladins, I have also said to every paladin who joined Xia'andia, Xia'andia is exactly my attempt to change this kind of thing."

The originally solemn atmosphere was destroyed by a crisp voice next to him: "Huh? Did Uncle Xia An tell us? I don't remember."

Glonia began to feel ashamed again: "Maine! Shut up!"

"Okay, we've wasted too much time, and you still haven't convinced me."

Xia An looked directly at Li Qi: "You were right just now. A paladin must integrate into the society, live with the people, and play a role recognized by the order to practice justice. This means that he cannot have power beyond the country and the people. licensed privilege."

He smiled again: "But this is the Godfall Plateau, a place of lawlessness. A paladin doesn't need anyone to approve it, so naturally no one can judge it."

"I know you want to say that you are the Duke of Purel of Hadron, and the Queen of Dawn granted you the right to develop the Godfall Plateau. But Xia'andia has been developed before you come, and Xia'andia is not your territory."

This guy is still cunning and cunning. He dared to reason with himself because he had this hole card.

Li Qi smiled back: "I said earlier, I never regard myself as a nobleman. On the Godfall Plateau, my identity is also the spokesperson of Lady Scarlet, not the Duke of Prell."

"As for what you said, this is a lawless place, so no one can judge a paladin. This topic, I have to go back to the division of justice I mentioned just now."

"You have already recognized that the paladins of Xia'andia are naturalists, so you should understand that there is no so-called lawless place. As long as there are people, there are laws, natural laws, and natural laws. That is the justice that the naturalist paladins want to protect. "

"What laws would that be..."

Li Qi was still smiling, Xia An's face gradually darkened again.

"Tell me, what kind of law is that!?"

Li Qi shouted loudly to the audience: "You should have heard it just now. There is no need for writing, proof, or creation. Anyone with a sound mind and a complete soul should know the law!"

The crowd was buzzing and talking, the voices became louder and louder, and finally converged into a rhythmic wave.

"Murder for life!"

"Pay the debt!"

"Murder for life!"

"Pay the debt!"

Li Qi shouted again: "Even if it is a lawless place, don't we have the right to judge?"

"Judgment—!"

"Judgment!"

People shouted louder, and the paladins trembled in their hearts. The power contained in the shouts made it difficult for them to rely on the pride of the spokesperson of justice to resist.

They all looked at Xia An at the same time, this was their last resort.

Xia An was silent for a long time, and then he said with difficulty: "According to the simple law, they have the right to defend themselves."

Li Qi tried his best to maintain a calm expression, nodded and said, "Of course, you can act as the defender."

The goal of the second stage was successfully achieved!
"tutor!"

"Uncle!"

"Xiaan!?"

The paladins all exclaimed, and Xia An waved his hand vigorously: "This is an inevitable conclusion drawn from the things I recognized before. Going against this logic is a deception to your heart. If you still think of yourself as a paladin, If you still want to pursue justice, take this lesson well!"

This Xia An, although everyone said he was the least like a paladin, in Li Qi's opinion, he was the one who most met the standard of a paladin among all the paladins he had seen since he came to Fern Paladin.
