"As the speaker of the Supreme Council, isn't it a very reasonable thing to condolence to our hero?"

Durandal replied with a smile.

"Whatever you say."

Noel knew that he couldn't ask anything here in Durandal, so he didn't bother to ask.

Moreover, even if he really asked, he couldn't believe it.

"What are you coming back for this time? What is the purpose?"

Noel didn't ask, it didn't mean that Durandal would remain silent.

"My purpose? Please, I was captured by you."

Nuoer replied with a helpless expression: "If it wasn't for Yin Zak and the others, do you think I would come back?"

"Really? That's quite a coincidence."

Durandal didn't break Noel's lie, but just followed his topic and chatted: "I thought you came back because of the new human experimental data in my hands, but now it seems that I think too much."

"You said so."

Noel nodded in agreement: "It's really a coincidence."

Durandal fell silent after listening to Noel's answer.

When Noel saw that Durandal didn't speak, he didn't bother to speak, but just looked at the artificial lake in the distance with a teacup.

"The trial will begin in a few days. What do you think the outcome of the trial will be?"

After a while, Durandal broke the silence.

"I should be executed on charges of anti-humanity and anti-peace. It's a little disturbing to think about it."

Noel replied with a smile.

"It seems that Lux Klein has a great influence on you."

Listening to Noel's answer, the expression on Durandal's face gradually became complicated.

But maybe it's because he's sure he won't touch him—

But no matter which one it is, it proves that Noel's contrast has changed a lot.

"more or less."

Noel did not deny this fact.

Lux did make a big change in Noel's mentality.

"Don't deny it? It seems that you have indeed changed a lot."

Durandal smiled inexplicably.

"No way, people can change, I will, and you will too."

On this topic, Nuoer also had some emotions in his heart.

People really change a lot.

Such as Kira, Frey, Aslan, Mina, Lux—

This may also be the legendary butterfly effect.

The current situation has completely derailed from the original, and Noel is not even sure whether the future situation will be the same as in his memory.

Frey didn't die, but instead became Earth's version of Lux.

Kira did not follow Lux, but ran after Frey.

He took Kira's place, mixed with Lux, and even hung the ring that originally belonged to Kira on his neck.

Others such as Mina Sahak, Hills Satie, Matisse, Kenneth...

Noel even doubts whether Lux can really achieve the same results as the original.

This is also the reason why Noel chose to come instead of being able to watch the sea in Aube with Lux.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Lux's ability, it's just that the current situation has changed too much.

So big that he didn't think Lux could handle it.

"But our ultimate purpose doesn't change, does it?"

Durandal asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, that's a bit uncertain."

Noel smiled and remained on the sidelines for the answer to this question.

The ultimate goal of this kind of thing, to a large extent, depends on the development of the situation.

"Can you tell me where you stand?"

Durandal continued to ask.

"Huh?" Noel was stunned.

"I thought about executing you secretly when you returned."

Durandal had no interest in continuing nonsense.

He knew Noel as well as he knew himself.

So there is no need to try each other out.

Noel was about to make a joke just now, but when he made eye contact with Durandal, the joke in his mouth couldn't come out.

Durandall was serious when he said this.

He really thought about killing himself.

"why?"

Noel lost his interest in continuing to test while he pondered.

"In that way?" Durandal asked.

"What made you choose to let me go?"

With Durandal's ability, there is no problem in killing himself perfectly.

He could even use his own death to provoke anger against the Earth United.

"I want to try it."

Durandal said with a smile: "Try to see if you can unite with me."

"United Front?"

Noel was a little unclear about what Durandal meant by the united front.

"What kind of world do you think is called happiness?"

Durandal didn't answer Noel's question the first time, but just raised another question.

"this problem-"

Noel didn't know what kind of world was called happiness.

"I've heard an answer - with your beloved, family, friends...with the people you want to love and be loved, and live a peaceful life, that's happiness-"

When he said this, Durandal's eyes were erratic, as if he saw some beautiful picture, and his eyes showed yearning for the future and longing for the future.

Noel was silent, this was the first time he had seen Durandall show such an expression.

Perhaps the former Durandal also had his own happiness.

"Isn't this kind of happiness a very ordinary and insignificant wish?"

Durandal smiled and looked at Noel.

"Yes."

Noel nodded, this wish is indeed very ordinary and small.

Durandal tilted his head and looked at the blue artificial lake in the distance, his eyes wandering and blurred: "I always say that we are very similar, just because we are both ordinary people, ordinary people who are unbearable, with no big ambitions, no remoteness. Unattainable dreams are just the most ordinary and insignificant visions of the future."

"All you want is to live, to live normally."

"And all I want is to spend the rest of my life peacefully with the person I love."

No one is born to know, everyone is an ordinary person, but on this road called life, they are forced to break away from the ordinary and move towards the glory in the eyes of the world.

Noel was silent, he didn't know how to answer Durandal.

He thought of Thalia, the woman who had been with Durandal the whole time.

"Then what are you doing all this for?"

Noel suddenly thought of another question.

Why did Durandal go this way?

revenge?

seems not.

If Durandal was out for revenge, it was in order to achieve the same result as Cruze.

With his ability, it was enough to destroy mankind at the time of Yakinduwi.

With Durandal's help, it was impossible for Lux and the others to stop the war.

So, why would he do this?

"To accomplish my mission."

Durandall answered Noel's question.

"Mission?" Noel was stunned.

"Or the mission of the adjuster."

Durandal continued: "The adjuster has gained power beyond the natural person. Instead of making the adjuster and the natural person hostile to each other, the adjuster should appear for the happiness of mankind."

"All human beings will respect each other and be willing to contribute their strengths for the sake of humanity and create a better future for humanity."

"There will no longer be anyone who will abuse or hate anyone, struggle and poverty will be a thing of the past, people will trust and love each other, and everything will happen in a world of equality, peace and stability—"

"Prejudice, discrimination, jealousy, hatred - I believe that sooner or later humanity will be free from its present misfortune."

"One day, human beings will transcend these stupid and impulsive emotions, get real freedom, and live in a world of complete happiness, and what I want to do is to speed up the arrival of this time."

Noel looked at Durandal in disbelief. This was the first time he heard Durandal speak his true philosophy.

It was also the first time he knew Durandal's original intention.

Ridiculous, weird, incomprehensible—

But looking at Durandal's expression and eyes—

So, Durandal is acting for a better future for humanity?

For a time, Noel was a little—well, it didn’t seem impossible.

After all, if Durandal really wanted to destroy the world, he would have already achieved this goal with his ability.

"I once told you that the reason why humans struggle is just because they don't know what they can and should do, and their desires cannot be effectively suppressed."

"Endless greed, endless desire, never-ending craving—"

"The owner doesn't understand the mood of the unowned, the unowned is jealous of the owner—"

When Durandal said this, his eyes were sincere and pure, and he was convinced that he was the only correct one.

"So, let's come together, Noel, and let human beings move towards true peace and happiness."

Durandall made another invitation.

This is the third time he has thrown an olive branch to Noel.

"call-"

Noel took a deep breath and calmed down his thoughts.

Staring at Durandal's line of sight, he said, "Human's greed is destined to be irrepressible, as long as there is thought and yearning for beauty, then human's greed will always exist, or in other words, human's greed also includes human's greed. future."

"Sun and Moon"

"Stronger than others, superior to others, walking ahead of others, these have indeed brought disaster to mankind, but it is undeniable that these have also brought mankind from land to the universe step by step."

"You deny the greed of human beings, and you are denying the future of human beings."

Noel is not as articulate as Lux and the others.

They don't have as flexible and intelligent brains as they do.

But at least he can distinguish right from wrong.

"So in your eyes, is greed right?" Durandal asked rhetorically.

"It depends on the degree. The bottomless greed is wrong, but is a human without 'greed' still a human?"

Noel asked back: "Everything you do now is not because of the 'greed' in your heart?"

"Perhaps you made a mistake."

Durandal probably understood Noel's misunderstanding and explained: "I have not denied human beings' longing and yearning for a better future. What I hope is that everyone can do everything he can in a position that suits him. ."

"If he is not satisfied with the arrangement, he can get the position he wants through other means."

"Then how do you solve the contradiction between the natural person and the adjuster?"

Noel smiled and asked: "How do you plan to solve the fact that the ability of the adjuster is superior to the natural person? In your conception and future, the adjuster will always be above the natural person. For the natural person, the future in your mouth is better than the natural person. Now the world is a more desperate world."

"Natural people will be completely reduced to slaves exploited by regulators and will never be able to turn over. What hope is there for such a future?"

Regardless of the means by which Durandal determined each person's position.

But no matter what means are used, the fact that adjusters are superior to natural persons cannot be changed.

"Ha ha."

Durandal suddenly laughed when he heard the words.

"Am I funny?" Noel asked back.

"Do you know what peace is?" Durandal suddenly asked another irrelevant question.

"Huh?" Noel frowned slightly, not knowing what Durandal meant.

"It is an undeniable fact that a class of adjusters and natural persons has been formed."

Durandal asked: "Is the peace in your mouth really peace? Just as you said, there is a natural gap between the adjuster and the natural person. In this case, how do you make the adjuster accept the natural person?"

"How to make natural persons accept adjusters?"

"Adjusters and natural persons can never live in peace. As long as there is class, there will be resistance."

"Unless one of the parties is stronger than the other, and the other party cannot fight back, the war will always exist."

"Natural persons have their own futures, and regulators have their own ideas."

"Are the two incompatible, or is it that the interests of the exploiters are handed over to natural persons?"

"Or let the natural person accept the fact that he is forever oppressed?"

Noel was silent, in fact, this is also the question he has been thinking about.

In this world with 'two kinds of human beings', will there really be true peace—

"I look forward to your reply."

Looking at Noel's silent face, Durandal did not choose to continue to discuss this issue in depth.

The reason why an idea is an idea is not because it is instilled by others, but because it is self-perceived.

Only in this way can human beings truly move forward in accordance with their own ideas.

CE. 26 Nov 72.

While Earth Union was arguing over Eurasian federation matters.

Colonize satellites in April.

Countless residents gathered outside the Zaft military court.

Today is Noel Cassia's court date. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Because of Nuoer's special identity and the fact that there are many people concerned, this trial will be broadcast live.

"It's such a nuisance that even a court-martial is so troublesome."

In the military court, Yin Zak and others sat as members of the jury.

"What's wrong with that?"

Diaka was speechless.

He felt like Yin Zak had some serious illness.

When Aslan was there, he competed with Aslan every day.

Now that Aslan is not around, he has come to fight Noel again.

I didn't know what Yin Zak was thinking about all day.

The jury was divided into two parts.

Inzak and Diaka belong to Zaft's jury.

On the opposite side of them is the jury belonging to the Earth United.

It includes representatives of the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian Federation, the United States of South America, and Scavina.

In addition, it is the Earth United Monitoring Team that is responsible for monitoring the Junius Treaty.

boom—

The court door opened slowly with the help of two Zaft soldiers.

Noel, who was wearing a white Zaft uniform, walked in surrounded by four soldiers.

"Ah-"

Yin Zak looked up and down at Nuoer's clothes, and snorted disdainfully.

Diaka's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything.

Now is not the time to speak.

Due to the special reasons of the personnel in the case, the presiding judge in charge of this trial is Louise Laettner, a member of the Supreme Council and the chairman of the judicial committee.

Stand as Noel walks to the dock.

Louise Laettner bridges the gavel.

[The trial of Noel Cassia's private intervention in other countries' wars officially begins—]
