"Nicole really didn't mean it... Master Reed, Neeko doesn't understand your customs, because you are the only yordle Neeko has ever met, and you refuse to open your heart to Neeko...
..”
Neeko pouted, obviously feeling a little wronged. She also wanted to know more about the Yodles, but she had no way to open her heart and talk through her soul. This is how the Misttail tribe understands each other.
, she didn’t know what else to do besides that.
"..."
Reed felt a little helpless in his heart. He was not just targeting Nico and not "opening up" to Nico alone. He was not "opening up" to anyone. This kind of communication that directly touched the soul was unavoidable.
Somewhat "avant-garde", not suitable for an "old antique" like him who has lived for tens of thousands of years.
"I'm sorry, Nicole, I was overly exaggerated. I just want to tell you that you should not peek into other people's hearts casually. We Yodles, or most races, have basically everything in common.
customs."
Reed understands that Neeko, a girl from the Misttail Tribe, is very innocent and does not actually have any evil intentions. This is why he can always tolerate Neeko's mischief. He can still detect whether there is any malice in others' behavior towards him.
He couldn't feel any malice like Nicole's behavior.
But sometimes, the absence of malice does not mean that it will not cause harm to others. Sometimes, this kind of behavior without malice may even be more destructive.
The unpredictable abilities of the Misttail tribe are very dangerous to any race. As long as they want, they can easily make a person "socially dead", or become a public enemy, a criminal, and be sentenced to death.
Maybe Nicole's original intention was just out of pure curiosity, or maybe she just wanted to get close to the other person, but the end result was often not very good.
"Oh, Nicole knows how to provoke...but Nicole still doesn't know what to do..."
Nicole nodded, but she was still a little confused as to why other races had different customs.
"Perhaps you should go out and take a look. This gradually declining tribe is indeed more like a constraint for an energetic young man like you. It will only make you lose your curiosity little by little, and finally you can live here with peace of mind.
"
Reed made a suggestion. For the unique Misttail tribe like Neeko, the island's unchanging lifestyle is really too boring.
"Really?! Master Reed! Can Neeko really leave the tribe? Can she really go to the outside world?!"
After hearing what Reed said, Nicole's depression was instantly gone. She jumped around in circles, constantly confirming with Reed.
"Okay, okay, just calm down and I will make a suggestion to the elders."
Reed once again had no choice but to comfort the excited Nicole. He could naturally understand why Nicole was so excited, because with Nicole's curiosity, it was impossible for her not to have proposed the idea of going to the outside world.
She has long wanted to explore the world outside the island.
However, the elders have never agreed. After all, the Misttail tribe has been isolated from the world for so many years and has never sent anyone out. Moreover, the outside world is too dangerous. It is very irresponsible to let Neeko go out like this.
The child's innocence and curiosity made the elders feel that it would be difficult for her to survive in the outside world.
However, Reed felt that the elders were too worried. With the talent and magic of the Misttail tribe, it would be a blessing if Neeko could go out without harming others, right?
Although the Misttail tribe is not a race that is very good at fighting, as a Vastaya tribe, their physical fitness is still much stronger than that of ordinary humans. In addition, they have the ability to transform into all things in the world, and through their "soul"
With the ability to sense other people's thoughts, no matter how naive Nicole is, nothing will happen to her.
In fact, Reed felt that it would be a waste to let a talented person like Neeko stay on this island and grow old along with the Misttail tribe.
The original Neeko, after the demise of the Misttail tribe, escaped alone to Ixtal, an ancient and mysterious land located in the eastern rainforest at the far end of the Shurima Desert.
That place full of mysterious atmosphere is lush with trees and full of vitality, nurturing many magical wild animals, including many giant dragons. In that dense forest, there are naturally many vastaya tribes living.
During her wandering, Nicole encountered many dangers, but she also made close friends. The most important thing is that Nicole imagined an almost magical future and ideal.
She wants to form a larger "tribe" with vastayas, yordles, humans, and any creatures who are willing to have the same dream. In her idea, everyone can
Find your own position and value in this new "tribe".
Nicole longs to find friends with the same thoughts and protect their souls with her own life.
Putting aside the feasibility of this idea, just by being able to have this idea, Nicole's travels outside are very meaningful. The reason why she has this "utopian"-like idea is not without reason.
A Misttail tribe with an innocent personality, strong curiosity, and the ability to truly feel the joy of others. Neeko is not moved by the dark thoughts in other people's souls, but can see the shining points of individuals of each race. This
This is the main reason why she has this kind of thought, and she is much stronger than Zoe, who has a similar personality to her.
"Then let's go~ let's go~ let's go see the elder~"
After receiving the permission, Nicole led the way with great bounce.
Reed smiled and shook his head, then followed. He just hoped that the decision he made was not wrong.
"Master Reed, why are you here?"
After passing through the village of the Misttail tribe and arriving at the elder's house located deeper, Reed met the elders of the Misttail tribe.
The elders of the Misttail tribe are also very respectful to Reed. Although based on his appearance, the elder of the Misttail tribe who is already showing his age looks more like an elder. However, the old chameleon understands in his heart that the age of the Yodel in front of him is estimated to be
Several times his age, Vastaya are not all immortal, most of the Vastaya tribe just live a long life.
"No need to be polite, Elder Kaler. The purpose of my coming here is to visit the living conditions of the Vastaya tribe in Ionia. Has anything special happened recently?"
Reed waved his hand, signaling to the elders of the Misttail tribe not to be polite, and at the same time suppressed Nico who was eager to try next to him.
