"Elder Gula, something isn't quite right with you today. As the Great Judge of the Internal Affairs Court, it is not wrong for you to doubt everything, but your stance should be neutral.

Of course, I hope you'd be fair, as humanity's fire is flickering and cannot withstand more internal strife and fratricide."
Manolo Bana scoffed coldly, "That's because you all are too lenient and too merciful."

"The world is cold and it is cruel. The flames of fire bring not only warmth but can also burn the enemy to ashes. We should bind ourselves with harsher discipline, fight with colder methods, and this waste!"
He pointed his thick finger at Rod's shadow.
