Three hundred and seventieth chapters galloping road (15)
As Danica expected, when they had dinner together, Lucia said that she was willing to purchase a batch of arms from the Gemini Kingdom. Although Lucia looked reluctant to do so, after all, Danica proposed this matter first, but Danica didn't care. As long as the deal could be reached, she was more concerned about her long-term cooperative relationship with the orcs and Lucia.
Compared with the Elf King Court, the beast tribe is relatively "poor". The production on the grassland is not rich, and it also requires purchasing a lot of necessities from foreign tribes. Therefore, Lucya herself does not have much savings in gold coins. This time she cannot pay the purchase of arms completely with gold coins, and can only pay with equivalent materials. Moreover, even if it is trading equivalent materials, Lucya cannot immediately take out so much wool and fur, so she has to owe the money for the time being.
Ai Xue, who owed hundreds of millions of gold coins, finally tasted the taste of becoming a creditor. Only then did she realize the feeling of the financial officials in charge of the Elf King Court and the Druid Sect, and she felt a little sad because she had a strong feeling that the debt that Lucyya owed would not be paid back, just like Ai Xue owed the Elf King Court and the Druid Sect. These gold coins debts are likely to be erased as bargaining chips in an important political transaction in the future.
Although she paid a large amount of supplies and owed a lot of debts, the thing that worried Lucia the most did not happen. Danica did not add any political requirements to the business. She hurried over and seemed to be just to do such a business. On the surface, this was of course a good thing for Lucia, but taking advantage of Danica is not a relief. After the matter was discussed and when she started eating, Lucia frequently looked at Danica, afraid that she would suddenly make any additional requirements.
After dinner, Danica and Lucia sat on two rattan lounge chairs in the yard, enjoying the refreshing summer evening breeze, watching the stars in the sky, and chatting for a long time. Let’s talk about their current situation and the customs and customs of various places, which look comfortable and relaxed.
This chat lasted for four or five hours, from around 8 o'clock to after midnight. When the two of them were not interested, they left each other and returned to their respective rooms, and showed obvious fatigue on their faces.
It was just a little chat, but it was actually a process of testing each other. Especially Lucia, she felt that Danica was chatting with a special purpose. The questions seemed to be meaningful, but they seemed boundless. After such a night, Lucia had to admit that she was indeed no match for Danica in terms of language. Faced with Danica's verbal attack, she could only resist.
Fortunately, there was only one night in pain, and Danica left with Ai Xue the next day, using the same reason: there was something urgent about the Gemini Kingdom, and she needed to go back and deal with it.
Of course, Danica is not going to return to the Twins. According to her agreement with Tyran, Danica still wants to return to Rees Town, but this time there is no need to be so anxious. Danica takes Ai Xuehua for three days to come back.
For Danica, it was not a problem to travel 300 kilometers in three days, and it was even a little relaxed. However, for Ai Xue, the process was very painful. Ai Xue was so tired that she had only half her life left. She only rested in House Town for one night. Not only did she not recover, but the pain that was pressed down during the journey came up. When she woke up the next day, Ai Xue felt that her limbs were out of control and she stood up after holding the bed.
Even though Ai Xue was staggering and walking towards Danica pitifully, she still gave a cold order: get on the horse and go back to Reis Town. In Danica's opinion, Ai Xue was simply too weak to go through such a little road, and she would not be exhausted by a third-level profession. Ai Xue was just not used to it. Danica's idea was very simple. Since she was not used to it, let her get used to it.
Finally, under Danica's commanded eyes, Ai Xue climbed onto the horse and followed Miao Ke on a horse.
Like other places in the Druid Sect, there are also large farmlands outside the town of Rees. At the foot of the mountain, there is a place where it is not very good. Tailan has a vegetable field that grows itself. It is not very big, only about two or three acres, but it is well cared for by Tailan. The green vegetables in Yilong are growing happily. Some fruits and fruits have also produced fruits on the shelf made of branches and bamboo poles.
Tailan picked up a hoe to loosen the soil on his vegetable field and applied some farm fertilizer. Danica picked some celery, three eggplants, and some green vegetables. The so-called japonica learned in Qingri Village. When sowing, they were like green vegetables and cabbage. After growing into side dishes, some of the not-so-healthy and thinner vegetables need to be picked off, leaving them to continue to grow. This step is called japonica, and the picked side dishes can also be eaten.
"You are quite skilled in your movements!" Tailan said with a smile.
Danica put the picked side dishes into the bamboo basket and said, "This is not a complicated operation, I won't forget it yet. How are you doing?"
Tailan held the hoe, looked at his vegetable field, and said, "It's almost done, we can go back, it's time to make dinner at this time." The sun sets westward in the sky and has already set on the top of the mountain.
Just next to this vegetable field, Tailan has a small yard with a very small area, only three bungalows, with thatched roof and rammed earth walls. A few chickens were raised in the corner of the yard. These chickens can provide eggs, and they can also be driven to the vegetable field to catch insects in the vegetable field.
There is a well in the middle of the yard. After returning, Danica first used a wheel to make a bucket of water and washed the vegetables she had picked before. Tailan started to make a fire next to it. Next to the three bungalows, there was a small shack with a earthen stove for cooking. On the earthen stove, there were bacon made by Tailan and five or six salted fish.
Tailan's hands and feet were very quick, and four dishes were soon ready: eggplant and bacon, fried eggs with vegetables, fried celery, and a small pot of salted fish soup specially made for Danica.
"How is it, it tastes good, right?" Tyran asked expectantly.
At this time, the sky was filled with sunset. The two of them sat next to the small stone table in the yard. Danica scooped a bite of salted fish soup with a wooden spoon, tasted it, and said with affirmation: "It tastes great, great."
Taylan smiled and said, "It's rare that you can still eat what I cook. I have been the queen for three or four years but I haven't seen you make your appetite difficult."
Danica said while eating, "My taste is really a bit special. I like to eat this kind of 'simple' dish. I am not used to the so-called exquisite dishes made by chefs. You know, I have never been used to it. If I really think the delicacies are delicious, I can afford it, but the taste is really strange."
"Just like it." Seeing Danica having a great time eating, Taylan swallowed the words that had already reached her mouth. It would be better to wait until the meal is over.
After eating all four dishes, Danica put down her chopsticks and said satisfied: "This reminds me of the days I lived in Qingri Village."
Tailan simply packed the bowls and chopsticks, soaked them in a bucket, poured two bowls of water on the table, and said, "But we can't go back."
Danica moved two rattan chairs from the house and sat down, saying, "You feel sorry?"
Taylan also sat on the chair and said, "Isn't it supposed to? You said that life in Qingri Village is very comfortable and happy."
Danica smiled and said, "But I didn't say that life is not happy now! It used to be very good, and now it is also very good. I am still very satisfied with my current state."
Taylan sighed, lay on her back and looked at the sky, and said, "But I am not satisfied with the days I am now. I always feel like I am stepping on the clouds, floating and not at all. Only by coming here and taking care of the vegetable field can I feel at ease."
Danica persuaded, "Tyran, you should be more confident."
"Confidence?" Tyran didn't expect Danica to say this, "Do you think I'm not confident enough?"
"Of course, you lack a sense of confidence, and you believe that everything you do is the right one."
"I'm afraid this is blind confidence, right?" Taylan sneered slightly.
"It doesn't matter." Danica didn't care about this statement, "and to a certain extent, this is indeed blind confidence, but people like us need this confidence."
Tyran asked curiously: "Aren't you worried that the choice you made is wrong?"
"No, the choices and judgments I made would not be wrong."
"What if it's really wrong?" Tyran asked insisted.
Danica turned her head, looked into Taylan's eyes, and said, "Tylan, even if I am ruined, even if my country is destroyed, and even if I am forced to die, I still firmly believe that the judgment and decision I made before are completely correct."
Looking at Danica's inky eyes, Tyran couldn't help but shivered and said, "What a terrible paranoid." People with this paranoid can really do anything, such as building a twin city made of corpses.
Danica turned her head and looked up at the sky and said, "Yes, this is a terrible paranoia, but it is very important to us, because there are too many times when we cannot get enough information, but we must make a judgment immediately. What should we do if we don't have this kind of paranoia that we firmly believe that we are correct? Hesitation will really die without knowing how to die."
Danica slowed down and continued, "I remember when I was in the trial of Kenster, I told you that, don't look at Phyllis and I, as if everything is in control, it is already very good that the plan we have made is 70% successful. If there is half the chance of success, then you have to do it. Because you can never wait for a plan to be 90% sure. In the words of the Holy See of Light, we are not God, and we cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. If we want to make a profit, and it is a big profit, we must take risks and dare to take risks."
Danica chuckled and said, "It's just in Kenster, a small city, and we are all familiar and at least understanding opponents. But now, we are in the continent of Katic. We are facing many times more complicated, so the risks we have to take are even greater. If we don't have this paranoid and blind confidence at this time, what should I do?
"Tylan, we are friends. This sentence is a bit bad, but if I have a personality like you, I can only hide in the lord's mansion in the Twin Cities and wait for death!"
Taylan didn't say anything. After a while, she sighed and said, "You are right. You are more suitable for survival in Katic than me, and you are living on this continent in this capacity." Among them, Danica's situation is actually the worst. She has nothing to rely on, and she can only rely on herself to work hard.
Danica said: "It's hard to say. I don't have a big force to rely on, but correspondingly, I'm under less constraints and restrictions. The environment you are in is much more complicated. You may not be as unscrupulous as me, but the truth is the same. You must have confidence and firmly believe that the decisions you make are correct."
"What should I do if I do something wrong?" said Taylan. "I didn't mean to argue. I really have this concern. What if the decision I made is objectively wrong?"
Feeling Tyran's uneasiness, Danica comforted: "Tyran, you must understand that this is a real world, not a world in novels. In this realistic and complex world, there is no complete correctness or error. Even if we have setbacks in our plan, we can still use subsequent corrections to avoid continuing to suffer losses and then achieve the final victory. You should have experienced this several times in the Kenster Trial."
Tyran recalled that indeed, in the Battle of Kenster, the plans formulated by Danica and Philes were often disrupted by unexpected situations, especially in those melee battles. The situation was really changing rapidly. The close allies in the last second could stab themselves in the next second, and the opponent who had been forced into a desperate situation could turn the tables in an instant. How did Danica and Philes do it at that time?
"To do this, first you need to develop multiple backup plans that include all possibilities. In addition, you need to be sensitive enough to change the situation and dare to respond quickly." Danica has given the answer.
Tyran said with a wry smile: "But both aspects are what I lack."
