I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 219

### Chapter 219: Common Sense

The surrounding reactions tend to lean towards Neil’s side.

Naturally, everyone here is a noble, and having slaves is commonplace.

Even Cynthia doesn’t seem to harbor much aversion to the institution of slavery.

Of course, violent acts should be eradicated, but that’s a different story altogether.

I clashed with Alan over the history of slaves before.

But that was just me giving an answer that went against the morality of this world, this era.

Ironically, emotionally speaking, I can somewhat understand Alan’s feelings.

Acts that ignore human rights should be eradicated if the world were just.

However, that’s just individual subjectivity. I don’t understand Priscilla’s personal life choices or why she’s in her current state. And I don’t understand that either.

She’s an alien existence even in the original work and isn’t talked about much.

“Cut it out already. I don’t want you to make judgments based on your own subjective views.”

Neil said with an air of indifference.

Then, he deliberately touched Priscilla’s neck.

The slave mark may seem like a fashionable design, but it’s a sign of being something other than human.

It’s not a primitive thing pressed with a hot iron, but rather something created by a talented magician.

Once engraved, the curse never disappears.

And the wearer can never disobey their master.

Even the nobles dislike this aspect.

Dignity is important.

If they have to be marked, it’s done in inconspicuous places.

Having it visible on the neck is akin to declaring, “I have bad taste.”

But generally, they wouldn’t mark them.

It’s often done in cases where disobedience could be dangerous, like with combat slaves.

It’s unreasonable, but many advocate for the dignity of slaves, believing that at least the minimum dignity should be preserved.

Alan is frustrated with the unreasonable senior who won’t listen. Neil is smart. He’s deliberately provoking.

From a legal standpoint, Alan is being unreasonable.

Furthermore, if he, a commoner, opposes the Duke’s Albert family, what will happen?

It’s a perfect setup for a game, but in reality, it’s just crap.

It’s incredibly troublesome, but I can’t afford to have the game end here on its own.

Alan still has a role to play. Whether it’s defeating the Demon Lord or me getting stronger, he has to serve as a stepping stone.

“Cynthia, step back.”

“What are you going to do, Weiss?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll mediate.”

And then, I stepped forward.

Neil looked down on me arrogantly.

Hah, the bastard.

Well, for now… nothing has been done here yet.
