Although Yang Yu's words were difficult for them to refute, they let bygones be bygones.
How can this be
Because of what Yang Yu did, they lost their powerful bargaining chip in negotiations with the goblins.
It is precisely because the fairy kingdom is facing the invasion of darkness that they can easily obtain the almost free help of the fairies, making the library more and more prosperous.
The library's top brass couldn't imagine what the library would be like without goblins.
After hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation, the library has so much knowledge.
There is so much of it that even if you take a small piece of the library iceberg, add jam and make it into shaved ice, it would be enough for a person to die of fullness.
Without the help of the goblins, the library's business would not be able to proceed smoothly.
Although the library has classified knowledge and narrowed the search scope to a certain extent, different customers have different needs and want different kinds of knowledge, and each time they look up information it still consumes a lot of time.
Without the help of the goblins, additional staff would be needed to ensure the efficiency of the existing library, but additional staff would bring new problems.
Even if you hire the best librarian, there is no way to remember the location of every book in the library.
There is no communication between multiple people.
The librarian spends real money on meals and rest.
In addition, in order to find accurate information, people will have to constantly flip through books to check the contents, which will cause wear and tear on library books. Correction and repair will require a lot of time, energy and money.
In addition to the expenses of maintaining peace and security within its jurisdiction, the Library of All Things also sets aside a considerable sum of money to pay informants who collect knowledge from all over the world and compile it into books, so as to continuously update the knowledge in the books in the Library of All Things.
To be honest, the library's annual income is not much different from its expenditure, and it can barely achieve a surplus.
If the Fairy Kingdom is unwilling to cooperate with them and refuses to provide services to them because of their previous actions or because they want to improve their work benefits, it will inevitably cause a series of chain reactions.
The wings of the butterfly effect will be like loud slaps in the face, constantly hitting them in the face.
Therefore, when the library has a firm grip on the lifeblood of the fairies, they will take advantage of this without hesitation, allowing the fairies to continue to provide them with almost free services.
Now that the chips are gone, all the good things will be gone. How can they be willing to accept this
The "culprit" Yang Yu was right in front of them, so of course they pointed all the blame at Yang Yu.
Perhaps, Yang Yu can still save something.
It is an indisputable fact that Yang Yu saved the fairy kingdom, and he will become an important bargaining chip in the dialogue between humans and fairies.
If you want to make good use of this bargaining chip, it is necessary to give him a warning.
Even if what he said made sense and saved the world, what good would it do
If the black gas escapes, many people in the Special Countermeasures Committee believe that the library will have a way to completely deal with it.
In the eyes of many people in the Special Countermeasures Committee, Yang Yu’s achievements are not something worth boasting about. The most important thing is to stabilize the relationship between the library and the goblins.
That's worth their life effort.
“What you said does make some sense, but this cannot be an excuse for you to break into the fairy country without permission. If you don’t tell us everything you know, how do you know that we won’t help you
As long as you tell us where you learned about the Fairy Kingdom, as long as you can tell us how you knew there was something special about the darkness underground, we will definitely reach out to you and save the Fairy Kingdom together."
Facing the questions from his colleagues, Yang Yu's relaxed expression gradually turned cold, but his loud voice resounded throughout the interrogation room.
"I say, didn't you hear what I just said? I just said that if the Library intervenes, I'm afraid it will not be able to truly eliminate the darkness.
If I choose to tell you the dangers of the black energy, you will definitely want to seal it away, laying the seeds of disaster for the future."
As soon as Yang Yu finished speaking, a new voice sounded in the special interrogation room.
"Mr. Yang Yu, please pay attention to your attitude. We are interrogating you now. As long as we have thoroughly investigated everything and determine that what you did is correct, we will let you go."
"You think everything I did was right? I'm afraid many people here don't think so. From the beginning, you all had other intentions. I can probably guess what you are thinking now."
Yang Yu's face was filled with a smile again, a fearless and confident smile.
"Every word I said was clear, logical, and righteous, and I showed you enough respect. But if my respect is exchanged for your arrogance, then there is no need for respect.
Let me be frank: I just don't like the way your library does things.
Although the goblins are different from us, they still have their own wisdom and emotions. When you respect them, they will also respect you, and they are so kind.
And you, facing such a lovely race.
The way you choose to deal with them is exploitative.”
"I don't think it's exploitation. We have the same interests. Our library has always ensured their safety, and they have provided us with convenience. It's a fairly equal exchange."
In the end, Yang Yu still sneered at that person's opinion. He originally planned to talk to him calmly, but a good horse is often ridden, and a good person is often bullied.
If even pretending to be patient and explaining things doesn't work to wake up these people pretending to be asleep, then you can only use another method to hit them.
“Equivalent? I don’t think so.
I flipped open the history of the library's cooperation with the goblins and saw that there was no date on the history. On each page were four big crooked characters written on them: "Equivalent Exchange". I couldn't understand it anyway. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally made out the words between the lines. The whole book was about cannibalism.
Yes, it’s cannibalism.
Do you know how many fairies have lost their lives because of your decisions? Do you know how determined Kaka, the Fairy King, was when he gave the order
If one day, the library is treated in the same way, a more powerful race controls you, and you have no power to resist it.
He asks you to work for him for next to nothing, risking your lives.
If you don't agree, I will threaten you with your right to survive.
What will you do then
Put yourself in other people's shoes. This is something even children understand. Everyone here is an adult. I don't believe you don't even understand this principle.
Or are you just a group of people who are blinded by profit after all? "
