Hearing Miss Justice's slightly desolate and confused words, Klein felt a bit of sympathy, as he had thought similar things before.
Recalling a few bits of chicken soup for the soul from his previous life, he carefully said: «The death of a single father is so insignificant to the whole of Loen. It can happen every day, and more than once. But to his child and his family, it is a major event that can change their destiny.
«Similarly, unless one reaches the level of an Angel, everyone's ending is predetermined. Everyone will inevitably pass away and be buried. But this does not mean the time from our birth to our death is meaningless.»
«Justice» Audrey nodded slightly, and spoke again in that self-deprecating tone: «I understand all of this. It's just that the secrets you revealed just now were too impactful. I couldn't control my emotions for a moment.
«As a 'psychologist', to need someone else to console me…»
Klein smiled and said: «Isn't this completely normal? Most of the time, we can recognize whether others are in a normal state, but we cannot clearly see our own problems. Didn't you say so yourself? That you and
Because Dwayne Dantès had met Susie, the big golden retriever, Audrey didn't conceal this matter in her casual chats.
Audrey nodded slightly: «Mm… that's right.
«I've figured it out. I'll do what I can and have no regrets.»
She gradually adjusted her mental state.
Klein followed up: «It's not just about having no regrets. Maybe what we do can even accumulate strength to fight the Apocalypse.
«Compared to the whole, this is insignificant, but even the widest desert is made of grains of sand, and even the most boundless ocean is formed by drops of water. If everyone gives a bit of heat and emits a bit of light, maybe it can bring a glimmer of hope.»
«Give a bit of heat, emit a bit of light…» Audrey softly repeated the key words from «The World» Gehrman Sparrow's words.
«I didn't say that,» Klein smiled and added.
Audrey held back a smile, and replied with a slight grin: «Did Emperor Roselle say it?»
This I wouldn't know if he said it or not… Flipping through his quotes I have to endure an intense feeling of shame, I've never been able to finish reading… Klein neither confirmed nor denied, and instead changed the subject: «Start hypnotizing me. Make me forget everything related to the 'Starry Skies', and only remember the corresponding warning.»
«Wait a moment. I have a question to ask you.» Audrey made her request generously, taking this chance to talk about what she had been doing recently, the difficulties she encountered, and the confusion in her heart. «…Mr. 'The World' Gehrman Sparrow, what advice do you have? How can I prevent the people of
As for stopping the war, although she wanted to, she rationally knew she didn't have the ability to do so.
At the same time, she understood that even "The World" couldn't manage it, and even if "Mr. Fool" personally intervened, he could at most turn the tide, unable to stop the war. After all, this world war was essentially a struggle between gods.
Klein hesitated for a few seconds, but still said frankly: «Although the 'Spectator' pathway tries to stay behind the scenes, and although I personally keep words like 'prudence' and 'caution' in mind, trying not to put myself in dangerous situations…»
When he got to this point, "Justice" Audrey unconsciously said two things in her heart: From the various rumors at sea, the descriptions from Fors and the others, and the demigod battle I witnessed, I can't see 'prudence' or 'caution' at all, only 'forcefulness' and 'aggressiveness'… Mm, to be able to do those things and still survive, relying solely on strength is indeed not enough…
Seeing that Miss "Justice" was listening very seriously, her emerald eyes full of concentration, Klein continued: «But in this world, it's impossible for everything to be easily and simply resolved without needing risk.
«Sometimes, when I do something, I do it with the mentality of 'I might die'.»
"Justice" Audrey's inner muttering stopped. She was silent for a long time before speaking slowly: «I understand what you mean.
«Doing what you want to do and absolute safety are often incompatible. You can only choose one.»
Klein nodded, deciding to let Miss "Justice" have a clearer understanding of the reality of this world, preventing her from being too idealistic in her actions: «Among the methods you just mentioned, the most feasible, the least risky, and the one that can best help the people of Backlund is to obtain grain from the nobles, the Church, the big merchants, and the royal family.»
«Why not seize the grain from the armies of Feysac, Intis, and Feynapotter?» Audrey asked subconsciously.
Klein said calmly: «Because these three armies have already advanced deep into Loen's territory. Even if you can break past the demigods guarding them and successfully steal the grain, they won't collapse. They will inevitably seize food from the surrounding populace to sustain themselves. Their short-term operations won't be greatly affected. As for the long term, you might not live to see that time.»
Then, who would really be the ones harmed? Audrey understood the moment she heard.
This was the difference between a war before the Divine War and an ordinary war.
«And I can't do this either. The 'Traveler's Bag' has limited capacity, and the 'Teleportation' that '
Klein maintained his previous tone and said: «Acquiescence.»
