For example, if a warrior accidentally killed a farmer's entire family without a proper reason, a contract of revenge would be formed between them and a law of revenge would be triggered.
If the warrior had a mission that was recognized as important, the avenger would have to wait for the warrior to complete his duty before he could exact his revenge. Otherwise, his revenge would be unjust and he would be criticized and despised by others. Anyone could take his life without being criticized. Interestingly, if the murderer gave the avenger a huge favor or important information, then the avenger would have to follow an inexplicable law. He could not kill his enemy for the time being, and he would have to let him go when he met him in the future. He could not take revenge before he gave the same information and favor. Otherwise, this revenge would be equally unjust and would be spurned by the people.
That way, the wealthy merchants, warriors, and nobles who possessed a great amount of information and knowledge could easily buy a lot of time to prevent the other party from taking revenge. Even though there were some who took the risk out of desperation, the huge gap between the two sides made it almost impossible for the 'untouchables' to take the risk. As for obtaining forbidden powers or turning into ghosts to cause trouble?
Sorry, even if the Balance Sect didn't want to deal with these matters, if such a situation really happened, they would have to clean up the mess.
Therefore, in Ionia, if one was born in an ordinary farmer's family and didn't have Tribulation's talent and hard work, as well as the patience to wait for three to four years when no one was willing to teach him, he wouldn't have much of a future. He could only continue to be a farmer and save as much money as possible in the future so that his next generation could learn some good skills.
Because the social class in Ionia was abnormally rigid, the social progress was only slowly moving towards India. Everyone was well aware of what India was like. Ionia was only slightly more peaceful because of its unique geographical environment. If they oppressed the people too much, it would lead to chaos and the rise of demons. It was only because of this that the people of Ionia were slightly more peaceful and didn't really reach the point of boiling resentment. Furthermore, their people were thoroughly educated and treated the so-called 'tolerance', 'understanding', and 'balance' as their life's creed. They treated the journey of life as a journey of endurance.
The reason why Li Ke didn't do anything to Ionia before was because Ionia's land was too rich and abundant with magic. In a situation where he didn't have enough manpower, it was best for Ionia to maintain the status quo and not let the situation worsen.
"But … many of them are good people. They treat the peasant women, protect them, and enlighten them of their doubts … Are they really that bad?"
However, to Ah Li, the people who appeared before her were all well-known for their kindness and kindness. Even if she was ignorant, she had seen some of them in the memories of many people.
"That's because they know that if they don't let these people live well and listen to their words, their beautiful lives will disappear. Indeed, many of them are kind. For example, Master Ku Shuo and the others are undoubtedly good people. But who says that good people don't do bad things? Doing the right thing in the wrong position would only increase the error in his position most of the time. The world is constantly moving forward. Thousands of years ago, the wheel was a novel invention, but now, it's just a common thing. It's the same for humans. Whether something is right or not depends not only on the development and reason of the matter, but also on the progress of history. The reason why I think I'm right is because I see further than them because of my hometown. "
After Li Ke finished speaking, he smiled and waved his hand. The memories that emerged from his body disappeared completely, leaving only a brilliant starlight. Ah Li was not satisfied with this explanation because she had more confusion and questions, which made her eager to get answers from Li Ke.
"Well, if you're really interested in this, then go and take a look at Mr. Ma's' Theory of Blessings and Returns' that I've copied and annotated. It's better than 'Capital' written by another Mr. Ma, as well as' His Thoughts' written by a teacher of a subject that I'm very bad at. You'll understand why I'm doing these things, and why I call those people monsters and want to kill them all."
Li Ke habitually stroked Little Tanuki's head, causing her ears to tilt. He was ready to send Little Tanuki out of his soul space so that he could have a good rest, or perhaps observe Yatoku's swordsmanship and fighting style in his memories to prepare for the upcoming battle. After sensing Li Ke's resistance, Ah Li didn't have time to think about what Li Ke said to her because of the misunderstanding. Instead, she thought of another matter.
"That … Do you think I'm a monster? I'm a fox that needs human emotions and memories to survive. So, in your eyes, am I a monster? "
Ah Li's words made Li Ke stunned. He finally understood that Ah Li came to him to look for food, but she had eaten Yatoku's memories. This discovery surprised him a little because he didn't know that Ah Li had such attributes. But even so, he didn't feel angry.
"Memories and emotions are proof of being human, Ah Li. You only know that a monster devours these things."
His answer made Ah Li's face turn gloomy, but he wasn't done yet.
"But a person's origin and race don't represent a person's character. A person's life depends on their own choices. If they choose to use their flaws as an ability to benefit others, or try their best to avoid this flaw causing harm to others, no matter what kind of race they are. No matter what race they are, what terrifying abilities they have, or what appearance they look like, they will only be human in my eyes. A kind human with a sincere heart. "
Li Ke smiled and waved his hand at Ah Li. Ah Li, who was stunned on the spot, also felt that she was constantly being sent out of his spiritual space by Li Ke.
"So no matter what race you are, as long as you are willing to treat others with kindness and are willing to treat others with the same kindness as your equal, then you are a human, Miss Ah Li."
"Ah … Yes!"
"So, don't be racist, even if you're discriminating against yourself."
These were the last words Ah Li heard. When she opened her eyes from the darkness again, she saw Lilia kneeling quietly beside her and the book with her saliva stains under the sunlight.
