Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3111 (Three Thousand One Hundred and Eleven) Accomplice

At that time, those words rang in Li Pingrun's ears again, but this time they were not continuous and the sound of the words was sometimes louder and sometimes softer. Some words were louder in his ears than the words before and after, and those words were particularly harsh.

Li Pingrun thought: The blue-armored man was wearing shackles, which made it difficult for him to move. He was pushed hard by another person. In such a situation, no matter who he was, he couldn't stand steadily. He was even called useless! It was sad that a person couldn't stand steadily in such a situation. Just because he was a blue-armored man, the people of Tiecang said, "You blue-armored people are all trash!" That person also said that the blue-armored people were not only useless but also talked a lot. It was really... The blue-armored people have been bullied for a long time. When the bullied people say something, they are accused of talking too much and are blocked. That person also mentioned the other person's dead sister, saying that the other person's sister was a trash like him, and that he didn't know what the point of them staying in the world was. What a vicious thing to say!
Li Pingrun felt guilty about his sister, and when he thought of the word "sister" said by the Tiecang man, he felt as if his heart was stabbed heavily.

He thought: He just said it so naturally, what's the point of people staying in the world... Is it that people should stay in the world to be used by him? Should they stay in the world to be used by others? If they don't live to be used by others, shouldn't they live in the world?
Thinking of this, he felt that this was actually the attitude of many Tiecang people towards the Blue Armored People. Those people just treated the Blue Armored People as tools. If a Blue Armored People could not become a "useful" tool in their eyes, they would think that the Blue Armored People did not even have the right to live. He realized that those people never showed any guilt when they killed the Blue Armored People, probably because they did not treat them as living people, but as pure tools.

Li Pingrun thought: My grandpa was a blue-armored person. I don't know how much pain he suffered back then. No wonder my grandma and grandpa hope that someone in the future can use magic to do things that are beneficial to changing the environment in which the blue-armored people live. Although I didn't seriously think about the problem of the blue-armored people before, and I turned a blind eye to many things, however, since I started learning magic from my master very early, the magic I learned was very special. The master told us that we, the alchemists, must not do many bad things to others, no matter who the other party is. So I have never done those cruel things to the blue-armored people directly like some Tiecang people. However, just because of this, do I really never harm the blue-armored people? Have I never become an accomplice of the perpetrators? Now thinking back, it is not the case. Every time I saw someone doing those bad things to the blue-armored people, not only did I never stop them, but I didn't even have any thoughts in my heart, and I didn't even think about stopping them. When I saw one side being bullied, I was indifferent, which actually helped the bully. But... given the general situation, if I had really been upset before, but considering my own future and my dream, would I really help? If I helped, would I have the opportunity to work for the powerful people in the Tiecang tribe later? Am I an accomplice of the oppressors of the Blue Armored People for my own dream?
