Chapter 362 You Shouldn’t Be Human

After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Tina didn't seem to have changed much. After she saw Tang En and the others, she still hadn't come back to her senses. She covered her mouth in disbelief, as if she was worried and exclaimed.

【It’s because of Nora! 】

Nora proudly said to Tang En: [Tina can't sleep at night, she is so haggard, thanks to Nora! 】

【Is it? Well done, keep it up. 】

[So, where is my large candy house? 】

【the weather is nice today. 】

Tang En ignored her scratching and scratching on his forehead, led everyone to Tina, and showed a smile: "Are you scared? Don't worry, you can go home."

You can go home.

Tina suddenly burst into tears: "Lord, Fiona, Elsa, Illya, Vanilla... everyone..."

"Everyone is worried about you, so we came together."

Although it was not a truth, it was not a lie either. Of course, Tang En had comforting words at his fingertips. He gently rubbed Tina's head, stroking her hair with his fingers, and at the same time used soft magic to soothe her emotions. He asked in a loud voice: "Barrod didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Tina felt very frightened. The kind of redemption offered by the lord at all costs was more like a heavy burden, which made the ordinary girl unable to breathe.

"I'm just an ordinary and ordinary maid. Why did the lord spend such a high price to save me? He just let me fend for myself in the underground world."

"no."

Tang En gently rubbed Tina's hair, and the magic massaged her head, further relaxing her mood: "In my eyes, as long as they are my people, they are unique treasures. No matter who they are, as long as they abide by Ellington's laws, accept my rule, and I will give law-abiding citizens the protection and dignity they deserve."

There’s no charge for good words, just say them casually.

Tina's eyes suddenly turned red, she shook her head and sobbed, "No, I'm fine. He found me and said that he wanted to exchange me and the lord for food, so he wouldn't kill me or let me commit suicide."

"suicide?"

Tang En repeated it subconsciously.

Tina retracted her hand like an electric shock and put it behind her back: "No, it's nothing."

Tang En directly grabbed her hand. It was as white as jade and there were no scars on her wrist.

But precisely because of this, it is unscientific.

Don't forget, Tina is a maid and often does various jobs. It is impossible for her hands to be so well maintained.

Tang En frowned: [Nora? 】

[Ah, the big liar is calling me, but I don’t know anything, hum, hum, hum. 】

Nora groaned and was unwilling to pay attention to Tang En.

[A true-to-scale candy house. 】

[When I first saw Tina, she had just been caught by Barrod. Maybe she was worried about causing trouble to you, so she planned to commit suicide, but luckily she was saved by me - so when will the candy house be fulfilled? 】

A lot of words came directly from the excited Nora, and it took Tang En a while to react.

"Are you a fool!?"

Tang En yelled at Tina: "Why are you so stupid!? Do you not care about your own life so much!?"

Tina said nonchalantly: "I, I'm just a maid... Because if I cause the lord to get into trouble, I..."

"What does trouble mean!?"

Tang En cursed: "What do you mean by trouble!? I am the lord! You are all my people! If I can't protect the lives of my people, what is the meaning of my existence as a lord!? "

While feeling angry, Tang En also felt sincerely sad for these people.

Yes, they are firmly oppressed by class. The upper class occupies resources and is more likely to have apocalypse. Therefore, the power is basically concentrated in the upper class. This social form has been solidified for thousands of years and no one can break it.

In Tina's eyes, as a maid, she should be self-aware and not cause trouble to the lord because of her insignificance, so her own death was the simplest and most effective way.

"But, but I..."

"Nothing but!"

Tang En grabbed Tina's shoulders, held her in front of him, stared into her eyes and said: "No matter what the situation is, no matter what the matter is, you must remember one thing, life is the most precious. In the face of life , everyone is equal, no one is insignificant and useless, no matter how humble a person is, he can find his own place to shine, and the value of his existence should be discovered by his own efforts, rather than waiting for others to give him."

Tang En's words were deafening. Fiona, Vanilla and Brian who were nearby heard his words and stayed there.

In front of life, everyone is equal?

No one is insignificant and useless?

No matter how humble a person is, can he still find a place where he can shine?

The value of your existence should be discovered through your own efforts, rather than waiting for others to give it to you?

Who has said this before?

Never anyone.

No noble will take their servants and maids seriously. In their eyes, not only the servants, but also the common people are inferiors and consumables. They don't feel bad if they die. Who cares?

Although it felt like Tang En's words were full of a strange sense of contradiction, for some reason, they felt very reasonable.

"I'm not just talking about Tina, but also you."

Tang En turned to Fiona and the others and said, "I don't expect you to understand this truth, but I just hope that you don't take life so casually. The meaning of life is beyond your imagination."

Vanilla nodded silently, her eyes filled with a strange look, as if she was meeting Tang En for the first time.

At first, when he gave himself freedom, Vanilla thought he was just playing hard to get, pretending to be generous so that he could keep her.

But after following him to Ellington, she realized that he really didn't care about her, and accepting her gift from Sidney was probably just to save herself.

He's a good guy, a truly, purely good guy.

It's simply not like humans in this world.

Fiona took note of Tang En's words very carefully.

From the first time I met him, he had a feeling of being out of tune with his surroundings. It was only recently that that feeling gradually disappeared. Perhaps, this is what makes the Lord different?

He's friendly, he's funny, he's gentle, he's slow, he's... also bad, but he's a good person.

Yes, he is the best person Fiona has ever seen.

He couldn't bear to see Ilia being trampled by war horses, he couldn't bear to see beggars wandering around, and he couldn't bear to see his people starving and suffering...

Why can he treat the people around him equally?

Why can he sit calmly on the doorstep and chat with the servants about lunch without any aristocratic demeanor?

Why can he live his own life without caring about other people's attitudes?

Is it just because he is a powerful magician who can ignore the rules?

not necessarily.

Fiona felt that it was a kind of ideological height.

The lord has a detached mentality. In his eyes, all living beings are equal. There are only differences between hard work and laziness. There are only friends, strangers and enemies. There is no distinction between superior and inferior people.

This is simply like the gods above!

Thinking of this, Fiona suddenly shuddered in her heart. Could it be that...

"Big brother."

Brian looked at Tang En in surprise: "I suddenly feel that you don't look like a human being at all - no, I should say, you shouldn't be a human being!"

Tang En glared at Brian angrily: "Are you cursing me?"

"No, no, it's just that such a great idea can only be found among humans and orcs."

Brian shook his head: "We all know human beings, selfish and greedy, blind and short-sighted. Most of the orcs have grown their muscles into their brains. They are too stupid to do anything when they disagree... Vanilla, don't glare at me, I said The truth is...except for those powerful people whose life spans have been greatly increased, ordinary people simply cannot understand what should be valued."

"That's why we need to change the world."

Tang En ended the discussion with one sentence.

"Change the world? The world is bad enough. Do you want to make it worse?"

A voice suddenly came from the front. Tang En was startled and said with a smile: "Barrod Broken Silver, King of the Underground Dwarves, it turns out you understand Runen."

"Tang En, Lord Ellington, a nobleman, why don't you kneel down when you see this king!?"

If it weren't for the sound, it would be difficult for Tang En to associate the dwarf in front of him with the king of the underground dwarves. The red-haired Barrod was not much more noble than the civilians outside. His eyes were fiery red, and he was staring at him. It feels very uncomfortable.

"Why are you kneeling?"

Tang En said calmly: "In terms of strength, I can destroy your entire country by myself. In terms of status, although you are the king of the underground dwarves, the people you rule are not as good as me. What qualifications do you have to make me kneel down?" ?”

Anyway, there was an information gap between the two sides, so Tang En started to brag with the mentality of bragging without drafting: "The Ellington I rule has a population of one million, and the five major races of humans, elves, dwarves, dwarfs, and orcs (vanilla) live in harmony. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment in my territory. Everyone has enough to eat and drink, and lives a life above a moderately prosperous life. Where is the red grotto that you rule? Along the way, what I see is that the clothes are not covered, the body is not well-fed, and so Your king, why should I kneel?"

Barrod stared at Tang En for a while, snorted coldly, and said: "I hate you humans. I have hated humans since a long time ago, before the two worlds were separated. Sometimes I even always pray to the beasts." People hurry up and completely destroy you humans."

Tang En smiled faintly: "To your regret, after the second Chaos Invasion War ended, the Renne Empire signed a peace agreement with mankind."

"Yes, agreement, damn agreement, we don't believe in any agreement, any agreement is not as reliable as common interests or common goals."

Barrod cursed, stared at Tang En for a while, and then said: "My people told me that you did not bring a transport convoy, so where is the food agreed in our agreement?"

Before Tang En could speak, Barrod threatened Tang En with a ferocious expression: "Don't try to deceive the great Barrod Broken Silver. If you fail to fulfill your promise, I will let all of you humans who enter the underground world be buried here!"

It was good that he didn't threaten, but as soon as he did, Tang En laughed in his heart.

Ignoring his strength and threatening himself so eagerly betrayed his current urgent situation.

It seems that what he holds in his hands is the lifeblood of the underground dwarves.

Although the embarrassing thing is that this lifeline was created by me after killing those monsters...

But as long as it works, who cares?
