Chapter 207: Who Is Right and Who Is Wrong.
After Mike finished speaking, the surroundings immediately quieted down.
Village chief Finnis looked at Mike in surprise.
On the other hand, Timus and Gerald were obviously stunned.
The difference was that after Timus was stunned, he fell into deep thought as he pondered about Mike’s words.
Gerald, on the other hand, nodded his head slightly, unconvinced, but did not say anything.
Mike looked at Gerald and smiled. “You seem to have a different opinion?”
Gerald glanced to the side and whispered, “No.”
Although he was young and aggressive, he still respected Mike very much. After all, Mike had helped them time and time again and taught them how to resist.
If it weren’t for Mike, Gerald would still be living a life of hiding from these weak goblins.
He was grateful and respectful towards Mike from the bottom of his heart, so he naturally would not refute Mike’s words.
However, Mike still asked again. “If you have any different thoughts, just say it. It’s okay.”
Gerald’s eyes moved slightly, and looked at Mike.
From Mike’s expression, Gerald saw sincerity.
Obviously, Mike spoke from the bottom of his heart. If Gerald had any thoughts, he could just say it directly.
In this way, Gerald no longer hid anything and said everything he had in his heart.
“Lord F*ck, Actually, I agree with your point of view. I also think that if we kill all those goblins, it’s actually no different from the behavior of these goblins.
“But, I have a question.”
Mike nodded and gestured for Gerald to continue.
Gerald took a deep breath, and his eyes instructed Mike to ask, “I just don’t understand, What’s… What’s wrong with ending them?”
After they heard this, Timus was slightly startled and sucked in a breath of cold air. He had never thought that Gerald would have such a thought.
Timus immediately retorted with sincerity, “Wait, what do you mean? Even if I understood that these goblins are definitely not good people. Do you think it’s good to be like them?”
Although he was a little competitive, most of the time, he did not have the intention to kill others, nor did he ever want to steal anything from others.
Even if he took away Mike’s weapon, it was just fun and curious, and he did not mean any harm.
He had been fighting with others most of the time, just to ‘defeat’ the other party, not to ‘kill’ the other party.
He was trying to prove that he was stronger than others!
Most of the time, Timus would not even attack those who he thought were weaker than him.
He would think that he was bullying the weak.
Therefore, Timus looked down on those who killed innocents for their own selfish desires.
Now, what Gerald said had completely become the kind of people that Timus disliked the most.
Gerald naturally understood what Timus meant.
However, instead of changing his opinion, he became emotional. “That’s right, I know that these goblins’ actions were wrong, and I also know that they are not good people.”
“It’s just… What’s wrong with being a bad person?”
After he said this, he took two deep breaths and turned to look at his compatriots behind him.
“Brothers, do you still remember what kind of life we had before?
“These goblins recklessly charged into our tribe with weapons, snatched our resources everywhere and attacked our tribesmen at will.
“As for us? We can only keep running and hiding!
“If it wasn’t for Lord F*ck’s appearance, I’m afraid we would still be living the same life as before!”
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Timus.
“What did we do wrong?
“We just want to survive. We just don’t want to be bullied.
“However, we, who have been unwilling to fight, can only be butchered.
“And these evil goblins can easily get something that doesn’t belong to them.
“They live a rich life. They don’t need to work. They only need to attack others to get a large number of resources.
“Is this fair?
“Tell me, who is right and who is wrong?!”
Gerald’s voice became louder and louder. By the time he said the last sentence, he had almost shouted it out.
Timus was speechless. He could not say a word.
He did not know how to refute Gerald, but he felt that Gerald’s words were absurd.
Timus could only look at Mike, and hoped that his teacher would refute Gerald.
But what Timus did not expect was that Mike actually nodded in agreement with Gerald’s words. “I think what you said makes sense.”
This time, Gerald was stunned.
He did not expect Mike to agree with his words.
Just when Gerald was puzzled, Mike smiled and said, “Everyone can choose their way of living.
“Some people have always longed for power, so they will challenge others all their life.
“When they find that they have become the strongest, and no one else in the world could be challenged by them, they fall into emptiness.”
After Timus heard this, he fell into deep thought again.
Mike continued on, “Some people think that living is the best. They’re willing to give everything to protect the important people, but in the end, they find that the people they want to protect will always have differences with them, and will never be willing to walk the same path with them.”
When Finnis heard this, he sighed slightly and turned his head to the side. Mike continued on.
“There are also some people who have always hated the violent person who plunders others, but in the end, they realize that if the violent person was himself, he wouldn’t be so annoying.”
When Gerald heard this, his eyes were fixed on Mike.
Mike turned his gaze and slowly scanned every centaur behind them.
“These are only a few, but most of the time, it’s not like this.
“People who challenge others all their lives will often offend many people. They might be hunted down for the rest of their lives. Even if they wanted to withdraw from this cycle of slaughter, they wouldn’t be able to.
“Those who protect others might be stabbed in the back by the people they protect at the most critical moment. Before their death, they wouldn’t understand why they ended up like this.
“And the person who has done evil all their life seems to be living an easy and happy life, but every time they plunder, they gamble with their life. No one can guarantee that the person they plunder next time will not kill them in return.”
At this point, Mike paused and looked at Gerald. He asked the last question, “Even so, do you still want to be such a person Gerald?”
