Chapter 928: Chapter 649: Position Chapter 928: Chapter 649: Position After the communication ended, the atmosphere inside the camp was quite awkward for a time.
Not only were the Drow Elves and Danilo dumbstruck, but even Amelia and Kasim didn't know what to say.
Amelia was not unaware of the Tribunal's rules; after all, Duanmu Huai had once told her that the Tribunal protected humans, not justice. At the time, Amelia hadn't quite understood what he meant, but now… she somewhat grasped the implication of Duanmu Huai's words.
This was actually quite complicated for Amelia.
Because on the Faelun Continent, humans did not have a racial Guardian God.
The deities of the Faelun Continent were roughly divided into two types: those of occupation and faith, and those of race.
Take Rose, for example. Whether for better or worse, Rose indeed sheltered all Drow Elves, but conversely, Rose only sheltered Drow Elves; she disregarded other races–such as humans, no matter how loyal they were to her.
Basically, most races on the Faelun Continent, except humans, had their own racial Guardian Gods.
For example, the God of Elves was Correlon.
The deities of the Drow Elves were Rose and Elythne.
The God of Dwarves was Moradin, while the Gray Dwarves worshipped Radug.
Metal Dragons worshipped Bahamut, and the Five-colored Dragons worshipped Tiamat.
Gnomes worshipped Garl Glittergold.
The goddess of Hobbits was Udala.
Even the Spirit Absorbing Monsters had their own God, Isesusne.
Even those who were half-bloods, such as Half-elves, could receive the blessing of a racial God if they endeavored to be exemplary.
But humans… did not have a Guardian God for their own race.
On this continent, there were many human followers of deities, but the gods they worshipped were not exclusively concerned with humans.
Take the God of Justice, Tyler, whom Amelia worshipped. Although most of Tyler's Sacred Knights were humans, there were also members of other races–wasn't Eribeth an Elf Sacred Knight?
Although there were racial gods who fought each other to the death, that generally only meant conflicts when they faced each other; otherwise, they adhered to the principle of leaving each other alone, never interacting.
For example, between Elves and Drow Elves, if an Elf saw a Drow Elf on the surface, it would undoubtedly lead to a relentless pursuit, but the Elves wouldn't organize a large army and venture into the Dark Region to slaughter the cities of the Drow Elves.
Thus, a situation like Duanmu Huai's, where he would threaten to kill an entire family due to a threat to humans, was truly unheard of for everyone.
So, Amelia's feelings were very complicated at the moment.
On one hand, she recognized that the Drow Elves were indeed an evil race, and the brutality and malevolence they exhibited during their raids in Deepwater City certainly needed to be eradicated.
But on the other hand, racial extermination did not seem just at all. Even if it was the Drow Elves… well, it probably shouldn't be done, right?
Thinking this, Amelia couldn't help but look at the Drow behind Danilo. She understood why they were investigating this matter–although Elythne and Rose were mortal enemies, both protected the Drow Elves, and right now, the Tribunal seemed aggressively intent on annihilating all the Drow Elves, so Elythne would naturally be concerned.
“But this isn't right!”
Just as Amelia was still struggling, Danilo spoke up, and hearing his objection, Gavi raised an eyebrow.
“What's wrong with that? Don't your humans also raid the dens of what you call Goblin Kobolds? Would you actually leave a few alive on purpose?”
“This………”
Hearing this, Amelia, Kasim, and Roxia showed a bit of embarrassment on their faces. As Sacred Knights and Adventurers, they had helped nearby farmers drive out and eliminate Goblin dens more than once.
Of course, there was no such thing as intentionally leaving a Goblin alive. They all knew very well that although Goblins were weak, they were cunning, evil, and vicious. If a single Goblin escaped, it would surely lead other dens of Goblins to seek revenge later. As Sacred Knights and Adventurers, they could not possibly stay at the farm forever to protect it, so the best strategy was naturally to nip the problem in the bud.
“But Drow are different from Goblins!”
“To the Tribunal, they're the same.”
Gavi snorted coldly, looking towards Ogis.
“Right, my dear sister?”
“…………”
Ogis remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
“Any Alien that threatens humans is an enemy.”
Then, she spoke.
“…………”
“So, since you've finished your mission, you should leave quickly. We need to return home too. The master has already warned you; if you don't listen, it serves you right.”
Gavi made a face at everyone, then pulled Ogis and turned to leave, while the others silently watched their figures disappear, speechless for a long while.
Finally, Amelia coughed and looked at Danilo.
“Mr. Danilo, we have Master Kelben's Sound Transmission Stone; perhaps you could contact him first?”
Even as a follower of Tyler, Amelia felt this matter was rather difficult. If she thought that slaughtering the Drow was wrong, that meant their previous actions in raiding the Goblin Kobold dens were also mistaken. But if it was right, she always felt a bit uneasy. Danilo seemed not to be giving up just yet; fortunately, Kelben had given them a Sound Transmission Stone. This device was similar to a telephone in the Magic World but was a consumable item that could only be used once.
