In the institute, Andreye's roar is still echoing.
The expressions of the drinkers were a little subtle, and they shook their glasses slightly. The snake boss behind the bar was cleaning the glasses as usual, and seemed not to pay attention to the Tucao Conference in the Blood Moon Trial.
"That's an excessive accusation," a human Blood Saint said. "It's fine to scold the church for chasing its own tails. Our institute has been doing research quietly, not getting involved in politics or interfering with public opinion... Which technological product in society today is not from the institute? From machine tools for making screws to source programmers for writing curtain applications, which one is not the result of our researchers spending years or even decades developing it?"
"We have never hurt anyone, and have always worked diligently to contribute to the development of the Blood Moon Kingdom. Even because our lifespan is more than three times that of ordinary people, our working hours and contributions are also more than three times that of ordinary people... and now they are blaming us for the mistakes of the rulers!?"
"Are you bullying us for not being talkative?!"
"That's right!" Others were also filled with righteous indignation. Someone cursed, "There are only two Blood Saint representatives in the parliament right now. The number is simply incomparable to that of representatives from other races. Their influence is insignificant, just like the atmosphere group. That's why others think we are easy to bully!"
"It's time to increase the number of Blood Saint Councillors!"
"Andreye formed his own faction, fought for power, and abused public power for personal gain. He still has the nerve to blame us?"
"These politicians really can't tell right from wrong. They are shameless!"
"But Financier's fighting league proposal seems pretty good."
There was a slight pause in the wine, and the red light in everyone's bloodshot eyes became brighter.
“Indeed, this is a very good viewing industry.”
"It would be best if there were no restrictions on combat, and mechanical transformation, biological colonization and other enhancements were allowed, otherwise it would be boring."
"It can also develop a situation where multiple people fight on the same stage, and the winner is the one left."
"There are also interspecies combats. Let the war zone capture some abyss creatures and see if ordinary people can fight against abyss creatures."
"There should be a magician league as well. Two wings may not be possible, but two one-wing magicians fighting a life-and-death battle should be no problem!"
"In addition to the prize money, the institute is willing to provide free treatment to all participants. As long as they are not dead, they can be cured on the spot, so that they don't have to worry about the future! If nothing else, I am willing to help as a volunteer and become a medical technician for the league!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I think you want to perform the blood embrace ceremony a second time! Don't you see how old you are? You have no bloodline potential anymore. Even if you really need a league medic, you will definitely give priority to new bloodlines."
Watching everyone excitedly discussing the details of the Fighting League, Lawrence was paying attention to the voting situation of the Blood Moon Judgment. He found that Financier, whose number of votes was equal to Andreae just now, was now soaring far ahead, which made him frown.
Although the Blue Scaled Blood Saint vaguely felt that Andreye's words made sense, it was only a little bit of truth and was mostly specious - was it the institute's fault that the directors of Dragon Cave Apartment asked the institute to perform a life-saving surgery
Financier did not handle the 422 incident properly. Was it the institute that forced him to do so
Even for the fighting league that Financier is planning to promote, which has not happened yet, does the institute have to be held responsible for all the adverse social impacts caused by this industry
Why
Just because the Blood Saints have a long lifespan and great strength, should they be morally kidnapped by these inferior races
How can this be true!
Lawrence tilted his head and asked, "Boss Snake, do you think what Andreye said makes sense?"
"Hiss..." Boss Snake put down his wine glass and said slowly, "What Councillor Andreye said makes sense. From his point of view, Finanxue is indeed trying to please the Blood Moon Tribe."
The Blue Scale Blood Saint was a little surprised: "Then—"
"But you also have a point." Boss Snake continued, "For the Blood Moon Tribe, Andreye's accusation is pure venting of anger. You clearly did nothing, but others are blaming you for the problem."
Lawrence couldn't help but laugh: "Since we have no problem and the other party has a point, then who has the problem?"
"No one has a problem. The problem is..."
Boss Snake looked at the light curtain: "Maybe the mayor will give us an answer."

...
"Ogre, male, general education, 24 years old, eats moon candy before going to bed every day, often stays up all night, is engaged in oil painting, his favorite food is pickled cabbage and lard, masturbates twice a day, is currently secretly in love with another female ogre, and hopes to live with her, but has not been able to make further progress after more than a year of flattery. He clearly saw the female ogre walking into the hotel with others three months ago, but this did not extinguish his love, but made him think that he also had a chance..."
At first, Andreye was a little confused, but the more he listened, the more shocked he became. Before Finanxue could finish, he interrupted her and said, "You actually... Wait, you've clearly gone through a memory review! How could you still keep these memories! You haven't deleted any memories?"
The ogre smiled and said, "I don't trust memory masters. I always erase my own memories. Once I pass the memory review, I will immediately restore the memories that are most important to me - and the information about my son is the most important memory to me."
Now, even the confused audience understood whose information Financier had just narrated—it was his son’s information!
"Have you given up, Mayor?" Kenmen said blankly, "The Bloodline Prohibition Law is a superior law, second only to the Blood Moon Constitution. You have violated the 'investigation of fertility' which is strictly prohibited in the Bloodline Prohibition Law. You may be sentenced to life imprisonment or even death penalty... Even if you can survive the Blood Moon Trial, you will still have to spend the rest of your life in the Broken Lake!"
In everyone's opinion, Financier was committing suicide!
It’s not that few of them have investigated the circumstances of their descendants, but most of them immediately asked a memory master to delete the information after finding out, because this is a capital crime!
It’s more serious than selling tons of moon candy, even more serious than serial murders!
Investigating the descendants is a provocation to the majesty of the Blood Moon Lord and a blasphemy against the foundation of the Blood Moon Kingdom!
"Yes, I violated the Bloodline Prohibition Law..." The ogre laughed and said, "Kenmen, you have graduated from the law department for so many years. Do you still remember the meaning of the Bloodline Prohibition Law? Tell me about it."
Perhaps he was shocked by Financier's words and deeds, or perhaps he still had some obedience to the mayor, so Kenmen answered without hesitation: "The Bloodline Prohibition Law regulates the reproduction methods of various races, adjusts and protects a wide range of social relations, is conducive to optimizing resource allocation and improving per capita resource levels, is conducive to improving the population quality of various ethnic groups, disintegrates the backward unit of the family, breaks down class barriers, abolishes inheritance customs, and allows every newborn to fairly enjoy the resources of the entire society. It is the legal basis for 'racial equality and equality for all'."
Finanxue looked as if she had suddenly realized something: "Yes, there is also racial equality and equality for all. Can someone explain to me the meaning of this sentence?"
"No one should discriminate against others based on their appearance, race, gender, education, or work. Anyone who encounters behavioral or linguistic discrimination can report it to the Criminal Investigation Department and has the right to defend their personal dignity. This is in the Racial Human Rights Act." Andreye said, "Financi, what do you want to say?"
"I will now return what you just said to me - Andreye. It's not that you don't know what I'm thinking. You have predicted my thoughts, but you still don't dare to say it out loud." There seemed to be a kind of hysterical madness in the ogre's calm pupils: "At most, you only dare to criticize the two Blood Moon tribes. After all, your tolerance is pitifully small."
The others and the audience were all stunned - wasn't it bold enough to criticize the Blood Moon Clan?! They were the true ruling class of the Blood Moon Kingdom, the favorites of the Blood Moon Lord!
Do you still want to criticize the one who is superior to the Blood Moon clan...
The redeemed cursed inwardly, wishing they could jump into the Broken Lake and commit suicide - if Financière continued talking, their end might not be as simple as death!
... ...
...
In the Crime Hunting Hall, in the director's office, the director looked at the call notifications that popped up on the screen and swiped them all away with a look of impatience on his face.
"They're blocking my view of the live broadcast. Really." Her haggard face was filled with excitement. "Can't these old guys appreciate such an interesting farce?"
"Hey, you guys put me in this position. Now you know you're in the wrong, right? Keep me trapped in the church and the research institute!"
"Finanxue, let me see your generosity."
... ...
...
"The Bloodline Prohibition Law cuts off all kinship ties. We grow up in foster homes and die in hospitals. No matter how long or short our lives are, we cannot find a trustworthy bond during this journey," Financier said. "It makes us all lonely individuals."
"The Racial Human Rights Act claims to eliminate discrimination, but in reality it provokes discrimination because it requires people of different races, genders, education levels, and even ages to live in harmony, forcing completely different lives to respect each other. How can this not make people resentful? But because of the existence of the act, everyone can only hide discrimination in their hearts, and let this resentment turn into a more advanced, more natural, and more cruel prejudice. It makes us fight each other endlessly and unable to unite as a whole."
“Andreye, you just said that Blood Moon Lord imprisoned Blood Saint in the research institute and confined Moon Shadow to the church in order to protect us.” The ogre’s voice resounded through Broken Lake: “I have a different opinion on this.”
"He made the Blood Saint silent, made the Moon Shadow kind, made us lonely, and made it impossible for everyone to unite. Do you know what I think of? A well-behaved sheepdog and a sheepfold with a strong sense of self-management."
"The Blood Moon Kingdom is a breeding farm carefully built by the Blood Moon Lord."
