It is the moral bottom line that every hero must possess.
Some readers are concerned about the fact that in the fourth volume, Amy, Da Qingshan, etc. are not willing to see Bi die in battle or even give up to help. This is the reason why today's society has different moral standards from those in the Middle Ages.
Just give a small example.
Friends who have read Alexandre Dumas's "The Three Musketeers", "The Three Musketeers (20 Years Later)", "The Count of Monte Cristo" and other novels may still have such an impression.
Among the three musketeers, there is one of the most vicious women - Milady. At the end of the novel, everyone who participated in the trial believed that this woman was guilty and deserved to die!
But when this woman was executed.
The translation is as follows:
Her screams were so heartbreaking that even d'Artagnan, who was most actively tracking Milady, could not help but lower his head at this time, plug his ears with his hands, and sit on a broken tree, but even so
, he still heard her threats and shouts.
Of all these men, d'Artagnan was the youngest, and his heart was the softest.
"Oh! I can't see this horrible scene! I don't agree to let this woman die like this."
The young man stood up and took a step closer to her.
At this moment, Athos drew out his sword and blocked d'Artagnan's way.
"If you take one more step forward, d'Artagnan," he said, "we will fight together."
D'Artagnan knelt down and prayed.
You know, in the novel, d'Artagnan's first lover was poisoned to death by this woman.
In the book "20 Years Later", the death of this woman's even more vicious son still left a shadow in the hearts of Da Niyang and others.
Similarly, in The Count of Monte Cristo, how do the avengers behave after their gratification? There is also strong uneasiness and regret...
This is what the so-called "mercy" of knights is...
