"Be careful when you go outside, don't eat unclean things, and don't talk to people you don't know..."
"Be cautious in what you say and do, and don't be rash."
"Don't look at things you shouldn't look at, and don't say things you shouldn't say..."[
"When you get outside, think more about the situation in the village and don't embarrass the elves..."
Looking up at the parents who were still nagging their children, Li Lin confirmed that the expected departure time must be postponed again.
[There is still 1 hour and 23 minutes left at your disposal.]
After checking the time span that can be done and squandered at will, the black-haired head lowered again, readjusted the evaluation data of the hysteresis effect on the parent-child relationship between elves, and modified several details of the follow-up plan. In response to the sudden idle situation,
Begin to evaluate whether it is time to perform a quick self-examination. The delicate face with an expression like an organic mask is facing the empty ground as the meaningful time passes.
"Sir, do you want me to urge them?"
There was no impatient tone in Nidhogg's tone, nor was it a business-related reminder.
As if - worried about something.
"You have to understand how parents feel, Nidhogg. After all, this is the first time for those children, a worrying and memorable first time."
"Your Excellency, this can't be considered a joke."
"Of course not, I'm just complaining."
The boy who was neither keen nor accustomed to complaining turned his smiling face sideways, and the face painted with [everyday] oil paint was no different from what Nidhogg saw every day.
"Are you worried that I will feel disappointed because no one came to say goodbye or say anything to me? You are worried that I will lose my composure and have trouble judging my actions normally. Isn't that right? Nidhogg."
The smile that removed the sense of dignity and oppression was facing a mother who was hugging her child tightly. The emotional mother couldn't help but shed tears.
Maternal love, parent-child, greatness, touching - words that are interrelated and intricate are condensed in the picture in front of you. Sensual people will surely have the same emotional resonance to accompany this mother in tears.
Only sentient creatures can do this.
"How do you understand the existence of [King]?"
What is presented from a perceptually relative observation point are abrupt questions that seem unrelated at first glance.
"The supreme being who transcends the shackles of the [mundane world], reaches the top, and rules the world."
"Well... it can be said to be the correct statement, but I can only give 50 points. The apex, the highest... such words are indeed in line with the status and background of [King]. But if it weren't for the people who are looking forward to the position of overlooking all living beings,
The corresponding role appears, and the foundation of the existence of [King] is also established."[
The people are looking forward to——the appearance of [King].
The tip of his tongue regurgitated the weighty words. Before the black dragon could take out something from them, the superior man spoke calmly again:
"On one side are outstanding people with unique and outstanding commanding power, decisiveness, and popular charm; on the other side are the people who are full of despair and anger about their miserable lives; in the eyes of the latter, the former is probably the light that can lead them out of their current situation.
Praise this light, revere this light - their instincts scream."
Without light, it would be difficult for intelligent species and most other species to survive. Even dwarves and gnomes who live and work underground for many years will use a dim mining lamp to illuminate their surroundings. What must an intelligent species in a desperate situation need?
to dispel the darkness around them.
"After tasting the unfortunate life for thousands of years, it is difficult for the elves to continue to have devout faith in the disembodied Mother Goddess. Existences such as the [Supernormal King] and the [Strong Man Not Bound by Worldly Rules] are more realistic and meaningful to them.
Attraction. In order to resist despair and survive in a cruel and indifferent world, the elves, so-called legitimate or improper, will sooner or later invest all their thoughts, expectations, ideals, speculations, and delusions on the [King]."
The extraordinary existence of [King] was destined to be the focus of attention from the beginning. What the people want to see is a [King] that fits their imagination, a [King] that can give hope and bring about change.
"Although a king does not necessarily have to be arrogant, it is also difficult for a king with an easy-going temperament to overlap with the current situation and many expectations. The reason why a king who is selected by the times and born for the people can achieve great achievements that are respected by others is
It is because he can accommodate the thoughts of all people, respond to the call, and guide his followers to embark on the right path - this is almost the definition of the Mingjun Holy Lord."
While abandoning the "ordinary" absolutist and taking on the responsibility of changing the world, the king also became the container for the aspirations of the people and the pursuit of justice and happiness.
A king who realizes this is not allowed to be vulnerable, let alone show vulnerability or waver.
With a heavy pride welling up in his chest, the child-like black dragon straightened his back. He could not overstep the limits of authority and status to accompany this adult to bear the weight of the times, so he could only fulfill his duties and share his worries.
The loyal determination and serious appearance all appear perfect. Only the child's height and appearance reveal flaws in the perfection. The precocious child with a poker face is really difficult for the onlookers' senses to adapt to.
Under the current circumstances, Li Lin didn't think it was necessary to correct this deviation, nor did he think Nidhogg's popularity was important. He had other work arrangements to explain.
"Do you still remember that training outline? It's time to implement it."
"I understand, Your Excellency."
He bowed his head respectfully to show that he understood Li Lin's previous explanation and corresponding responsibilities literally. Heilong raised the corners of his mouth slightly while being serious.
——Some people are going to be unlucky.
"Try to avoid losing lives. Now we are not rich enough to bear unnecessary losses. Focusing on strength training is a general principle, but it also requires appropriate sex. Remember, human body strength is not at the same level as yours."
The reminder of the implicit three-point warning made Nidhogg put away his little thoughts, nodded solemnly, and waited for the next step.
"Be careful. The loss of 500 cavalry is not a small number. After such a long time, they should have been aware of the situation. Although we will organize a large-scale mobile assault force again in the short term, we still have to be careful. I am not here during this period.
At this time, you are responsible for the safety of the village, can you do it?"
"Please rest assured that no intruder will be able to leave alive."
"Looking forward to your performance, I believe in the guarantee of the black dragon Nidhogg."
Li Lin put his soft palms on the shoulders of the young child, and Li Lin did not face the black dragon who straightened his back. The touching scene in front of him was almost coming to an end, and the reluctant parents had told them everything they could. The nature of the parent-child talk meeting
The farewell ceremony has come to an end.[
It's time to set off.
He stood up from the carriage carriage he was leaning on, and walked towards the coachman's position with a reliable posture. The black dragon behind him stood with his hands lowered, and turned his attention sharply to the blurry young man's back illuminated by the morning light.
################
The old carriage driven by two old horses was still running on the disrepaired deserted road, and the driver was still the worried-looking young man, whose navy blue hair was being ruffled by the breeze just like when it came.
The biggest and most obvious change from the last time we drove on this road is that there is a carriage behind it. The two carriages are filled with young men and women who are very eye-catching. Some of them use straw as the bottom and are tightly fixed in the carriage with ropes.
The wooden box looks ordinary and strange, but I'm afraid it is limited to this kind of people.
This group of young people seems to be rushing to the market, which is not a special scene in the countryside. In the eyes of young people who love liveliness and fun, except in big cities, there are few things that attract them more than the market. It is very common to go to the market together.
things.
It's just that the young people on the carriage are sitting too upright, and the resolute expressions on their faces make people feel that these young men are preparing to grab swords and shields and charge into battle instead of going out to play. Those who are aroused will be more curious if they continue to observe further.
It was discovered that there seemed to be no villages or settlements at either end of the direction in which the carriage was traveling.
As long as one person sees this group of suspicious-looking young men and women on this road, the poor disguise will be easily revealed.
【Both redundant and unnecessary.】
Even if you have to look back, you can see the young elves sitting in a state of seriousness, and the merciless negative comments labels were affixed to the previous farewell ceremony.
Obviously, overly worried parents have instilled too many unnecessary precautions in their children, coupled with the curiosity caused by the knowledge of the outside world. The interaction between the two makes these fledglings both excited and nervous.
All the staff moved and spoke, and even stuttered when they spoke. With them, they could attract many wary and suspicious eyes without even rushing to the black market trading place.
What was originally a well-intentioned concern and exhortation had the opposite effect.
The solemn atmosphere continued to dominate the two carriages, and the passengers seemed to be very motivated but unable to raise their spirits. The subtle state showed no signs of changing in sync with the movement of distance and time.
It won't last long. Li Lin has already prepared the means to deal with this situation, and will solve this problem before the two rigid elves cause trouble.
"That... I'm really sorry."
What the auditory system captured was the shy voice of the girl.
Brunhil's voice seemed to be whispering, but in fact, at that volume, no one should be able to hear it except herself.
"Don't suppress yourself so much. I don't think you have anything to apologize for. It may have some counter-effects, but it is completely understandable and kind for elders to care about their children, let alone following unfamiliar people outside. In terms of time, I
It’s plenty, you just need to leisurely enjoy the scenery on the journey.”
Whether he was worried about the resistance caused by the old Emil's procrastination in making decisions, or suspected that the side effects of the farewell ceremony would cause trouble to Li Lin, Brunhil's apology seemed redundant, with a few discordant notes within the expected range.
It wouldn't cause even the slightest trouble, and Li Lin wouldn't be bothered at all.
She thinks so much that she cares about issues that have nothing to do with her.
"No, I mean... uh... then... everyone is too nervous, so... in terms of atmosphere..."
Obviously, Brunhil should adjust his condition before speaking.
"Maybe it's the nervousness of going out for the first time. It doesn't matter. You will get used to it after a while."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I can't stand it anymore!! You two idiots are stupid!!!!!!!"
There was a blood-curdling scream coming from the box where the luggage was placed, and the rapid rhythm of tapping on the wooden board made the young elves' already very excited heartbeats accelerate again. The conditioned reflexes came into full play, and the body had already drawn out the weapon for defense before thinking.
The posture. The sharp blades that reflected the cold metallic luster in the sun pointed at the wooden box where the unknown passengers were hidden. Then the passengers who came back to their senses turned their eyes to the coachman who seemed to be surprised and was pulling the reins to stop the carriage.
.
The preparatory measures finally started on their own, but the timing and method of entry didn't seem so appropriate.
