Chapter 822: Just do what is within your power

The knight couldn't help but say, "Are we just going to sit back and watch the Old Church of Light persecute others?"

Little Yi shook her head and said, "They have done wrong, and naturally, there will be people to deal with them, but it shouldn't be us. Godfather is right. When bad people do bad things, it should be the responsibility of the kingdom's law enforcement agencies to handle them, not the church. The church doesn't have that right, nor should it have such power. When the church gains such power, it will embark on an abnormal path."

The knight seemed to understand something. He turned his head and looked at Robb, only to see Robb lazily flipping over on the stone stool and tossing a piece of chocolate into his mouth. He looked like a worthless slacker.

The knight couldn't help but sweat. "It's hard to understand this Godfather."

Little Yi smiled and said, "As time goes by, you will realize that his demeanor, as it is, is much more reassuring than him charging into battle."

The knight couldn't help but whisper, "With such power, has he ever thought of conquering the world?"

Little Yi shook her head. "Godfather said that the development of transportation and communication, as well as the integration of culture and race, will constrain the size of a kingdom's territory. If a kingdom forcefully tries to unify the world through military force when transportation and communication are not well developed and there are still cultural and racial barriers, the result will only be a quick disintegration. It would be meaningless, and he won’t bother with such foolishness."

The knight exclaimed and carefully recalled history. Isn't that exactly how it happened?

He couldn't help but sigh, "Godfather is truly wise. I can't compare at all."

The knight replied, "I didn't, I didn't!"

Robb laughed and said, "Relax, I was just joking with you."

The knight looked confused. What's so funny about that? Anyway, let's get back to the matter at hand. He looked at Robb with a serious expression and said, "Godfather, it's a good thing that you don't like war, and I admire you for it. But you also need to see that countless Maya people are living in dire conditions in the colonies. We only managed to save a mere two hundred people. There are countless thousands of people suffering in numerous colonies. Are we just going to stand by and watch them die? Can't we extend a helping hand and assist them?"

Robb shrugged and said, "The world is so big, and there are so many people living in miserable conditions everywhere, north and south. How can we save them all? Unless we start a war and unify the world, we won't even be able to touch many of those people. And if we launch a war to unify the world, the process itself will bring countless hardships. It is meaningful to harm a group of people in order to save another group."

The knight pondered carefully and said, "Hmm? It seems like you're right."

"Help those within our reach, those we can see and touch," Robb said. "As for those beyond our reach, let's leave them be. It's better not to forcibly do good deeds if it only ends up causing chaos in the world."
