In this world, everything and everyone has its own value.
Each person also has the power to define the value of what they own. What is noble remains noble, and what is low remains low.
Therefore, this brings about inequality and… war.
People are often far too greedy for things that don't belong to them, this leads them to struggle because of greed, and strife arises from these struggles.
Each holding to their own views leads, inevitably, to wars that destroy everything.
Then, the mages who hold power will see opportunity to benefit themselves, further strengthening their authority.
Kars will eventually understand all of this. Maybe not today, but someday in the future he will certainly understand.
So, Violet uses these mysterious words to utterly confuse Kars.
To put it plainly, it's actually very simple. She saw a group of strong men daring to rob a girl of her belongings, but they failed.
As the losers, it's impossible for them to escape without paying a price. This is not consistent with Violet's style.
However, upon examination of these hard-pressed mercenaries, apart from the tools they use to earn a living, the only valuable thing they have is what they have in their trousers.
Whether it's the former, useless metal objects they carry, or the latter, creatures shrinking in fright, Violet looks down on them all.
These things can be bought with money and so carry no value or significance at all!
In Violet's eyes, money is merely a plaything.
Consider this, which is more useful: a tool that can continuously produce other tools, create tools, or something that breaks after a single use?
It goes without saying.
So, Violet chose to subdue these mercenaries. At first glance, it seemed like she defeated bandits to become their leader.
But the same thing, for different people, will have completely different interpretations.
Who is Violet? She is a demigod created by the supreme creator, an existence walking among humans. Her fighting capacity is matched only by the other three equally powerful demigods.
So, how can this be considered banditry?! This is a clear case of an emissary of justice acting in the name of light and balance, sacrifically acting for the sake of world peace and humanity!
Such sacrifice and dedication, saved a group of mercenaries from their misguided paths, putting them above their greed.
If a woman can't be a priest, then the term 'Mother Superior' is certainly appropriate for her!
She was even moved by her own actions. How merciful and kind she is, calling the fierce robbers back with her maternal brightness.
Perhaps, she could establish a religion, become a goddess herself?
In this way, without realizing it, she fell into delusion. But Kars was like a curious baby, scratching his own hair, totally perplexed, trying to understand the profound truth in this.
Looking at Kars's handsome face, Violet smiled faintly and thought, indeed, she really prefers women. No matter how handsome a man is, he has no attraction to her.
"But why did you resort to violence without a word? Wouldn't it be easier to negotiate with money?" He asked this based on his many years of experience.
Indeed, as he said, the loyalty of mercenaries is not worth mentioning. They are a group of desperadoes willing to risk their lives for money.
However, Violet sneered at him. Those who can be bought with money can naturally be bought back with money.
This back-and-forth, apart from the waste of money on these desperadoes, does not hold any other benefits.
Moreover, she doesn't have so much money to spend on buying hearts. All her money has been spent unknowingly.
So she simply resorts to violence to solve all the problems.
Things that can be solved with violence don't need reasons or any excuses.
All it takes is a good beating as long as the other party has a bit of a brain, realises they are no match, and willingly surrenders, kneeling on the ground to kiss her shoes.
What excuse is needed then! So she gave Kars a helpless eye-roll.
Because the facts will tell him everything, all the scheming and effort by Lin Xiaozheng were in vain.
However, through this matter, Violet came to understand a principle.
That is, as a demigoddess, she won't die and doesn't fear death, so she doesn't know what the emotion of fearing death is.
But humans do. When the fear and shadow of death hang over someone, it's not surprising what they could do.
To humans, having a life doesn't mean they have everything, but losing life means losing everything.
A person's life is their most valuable and precious asset; power, strength, wealth are all built upon life.
Once life is taken away, it's equivalent to taking away everything from a person.
At that time, no matter how much power, strength or wealth one has, it won't be able to save their life, be it the past or future.
So, what should be done at that time?
How to make others' most valuable assets define their value?
For Kars this question might be a bit complicated, but for Violet, this question is not as difficult as it seems.
In fact, with a little bit of consideration, a simple solution can be figured out.
The way to solve the problem itself is to understand the nature of the problem. That's what they're doing right now.
They are heading to Black Crow Castle to take away what is not rightfully theirs.
That is one of the most valuable things for Violet at the moment.
In human's eyes, how to make the most valuable thing one's own, is a question they ponder over all day.
After thought by many people over many generations, they came up with an answer.
Everyone has desires. Countless words want to embellish it, but they can't hide its inherent greed.
