If a person is kind to a dog, others will say: "Look, this person is very caring!"
Victor is a human and Neo is a dog. Whether it is formed consciously or unconsciously, the hierarchy lies in people's hearts, just like the key in a clock that is responsible for telling the hour. Once the conditions are met, it will be
trigger
So when Victor expressed his forgiveness for Neo's 'recklessness' in public, not only the Claw Werewolf, but also the people in the migration team subconsciously thought: "Ah, look, the brother of the Grand Duke, the queen of the royal family, bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
He is really a benevolent nobleman with a broad mind! Especially at such a young age..."
Before Neo got angry, he had thought that he was "insignificant" compared to Victor, but he didn't expect that Victor could do so well with his performance in the face-saving article.
After Victor's impromptu speech, he said this to Neo: "The Fang Corps did have some deviations in their understanding of my order. Just think that I didn't express it clearly. In addition, I also understand what you have in mind."
Angry, came all the way east, experienced life and death, and was isolated and helpless. However, there are two points I must mention. The first is your unscrupulous words towards the soldiers of the Fang Corps. I must say fairly that they are good and the soldiers can carry out their duties.
They did a very good job for the highest mission. Even if I only serve as their commander for a day, I still have the responsibility and obligation to safeguard their honor. Furthermore, my adjutant does have some very personal friendships. So, even if she made some mistakes,
I can’t let anyone insult me, not because of my title, but because I am a man, what do you think?”
This kind of investigation seems to be a bit of a "perfect image", but it brings about a more important gain - reality is more acceptable than perfection, people are more likely to accept the existence of an obvious but innocuous flaw, and people will no longer
Are you guessing that this infamous nobleman is acting? People will only say that although this person is infamous and a bit unforgiving, he still performs very well in major matters and in handling some key issues.
Neo received 3 sticks, 2 sticks because he called the Claw Werewolves bastards, and 1 stick because he called the beautiful adjutant a chicken.
Neo really doesn't care about the pain of the stick on his butt. What Neo cares about is that Victor has successfully enhanced his authority in the hearts of the people and the clawed werewolf soldiers. This has caused two disadvantages. First,
The reason is that the people's vigilance is lowered. Secondly, his authority will be reduced when the opponent is Victor. If he says anything bad about Victor, people will inevitably wonder: Is it because of the three army sticks?
Dissatisfied and looking for revenge?
Victor had been secretly paying attention to everyone's expressions. When the incident came to an end, he was sure that he had won this round, and he had won beautifully. He couldn't help but think of a sentence said by a certain emperor of the ancient European Empire:
Be good at using your authority, good at manipulating, and guiding people's thoughts. Even if you bring death to the people, the people will still love and support you!
Of course, Victor also had his dissatisfaction. Neo, whom he hated very much, was a very smart opponent. Although he received a military stick, he won everyone's favor with a few simple words and tough performance.
It creates such an impression for everyone: reckless, but upright and open-minded, not afraid of power for the sake of the fellow villagers...
"The knife is in my hand, the power is in my hand, you have already lost at the starting point! Hum hum, what a pity..." Victor looked at limping towards the camp, and received a heroic reception from the people.
Neo, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He knew that even without those messy involvements, people like Neo were destined not to be used by him.
At this time, a guard came to report that the three sky knights had lost track of their target.
"Trash!" Victor cursed fiercely in his heart. He originally wanted to find out the whereabouts of the Stormtroopers, but his subordinates told him that the elite scouts who were born in the Wings of Freedom were tricked by a few country bumpkins.
!
Neo spent the whole afternoon in anxiety and melancholy. He racked his brains, but could not come up with a way to save the people. He knew that if he just talked with nothing, everyone would not believe him, let alone the clawed werewolf.
He only knew Victor's motive for killing the immigrants again, so what if the motive was confirmed? The motive was not enough to impose a sentence, otherwise wouldn't those who were eyeing the throne have their heads cut off early?
The sun was setting. A large amount of food, fine wine, and some meat that needed to be stewed in advance were unloaded from the airship. A large number of chefs and cooks were preparing dinner. The situation was also very lively. The children had a rare meal.
candy, happily playing in the openness of the valley. Smiles also appeared on the faces of the adults, and their moods gained a long-lost relaxation. Anyway, the powerful army of the principality arrived, and there was no need to worry anymore. After this night
, everyone will probably leave by airship, and everything will become beautiful.
Neo was walking lamely. Although there were many people greeting him along the way, his figure still looked a bit desolate and lonely, which seemed a bit out of place with the general atmosphere of the camp.
"Neo, seems a little moody..."
"You wouldn't be happy if you got a stick."
"Maybe it's because the hero's days are coming to an end..."
"Shut up, Neo is not as dirty as you say. As long as you still have some conscience, you should know that he will always be a hero in our hearts!"
"Yes, yes! I am not making a random analysis. After all, you should be happy after all the hard work! In terms of merit, rewards should be given. Even if most of Neo's achievements are attributed to the Lord, the remaining part is still enough.
A great reward and a great honor”…
Neo heard a lot of everyone's comments, but he was indifferent to them. He only saw deep powerlessness, death was approaching, and what he could do was very limited.
Lifting the fur curtain, Neo entered the big tent amidst the wind and snow. Ebut, Jeff, and Woodrow were all there, gathering together to eat fruit, drink wine, and chatting animatedly.
When they saw Neo coming in, they all stood up to greet him and asked him to sit down. McCann also said: "The wound on your butt is not healed yet? Why don't you raise a table and lie down?"
Neo was not in the mood to chat with everyone, and said straight to the point: "Team Windrush needs to send a batch of supplies there, who will take the trouble to make the trip?"
"I!"
"I!"
The ones vying to go were David and Gale. Both of them considered themselves young and experienced, and their contributions were not as good as others. They also wanted to see the situation of the Windrush team, so they wanted to go.
"Go!" Neo wanted to leave a few seeds for Mashua's inheritance. "Zhi Jeff, you have to work hard. You are familiar with the road to the migration team."
"For those who have worked hard, the Wind Team should reward them." Zhizev knew the true situation of the Wind Team. Naturally, he knew that they were also from the common people, and the people of the Wind Team had sacrificed a lot in the process of moving eastward.
There are many more people than here in the migration team.
Neo nodded, "Without further delay, prepare to leave now to avoid traveling at night."
"Brothers, please sit down, we'll see you tomorrow." Rijeev said goodbye to everyone with a smile.
McCann also joked: "Tonight is a celebration day, it would be a shame to miss it."
"We are celebrating with the warriors of Team Gale, you are so envious, haha"
Neo said: "Try to pick strong brothers. It doesn't matter if there are more people. The clawed werewolves here are watching the scene, but the road is not peaceful. Also, please inform me before you leave. I have something private to tell you."
"Okay!" Zhizev strode out of the tent with David and Gale who were in high spirits.
Neo sat down with his butt propped up, took a large wooden cup filled with wine, and drank it in one breath, "Come again!"
Filled with wine
After another breath, he said, "Come again!"
After five or six drinks in a row, McCann and others looked at each other in confusion. This was the first time they had seen Neo indulge like this. On weekdays, let alone toasts, drinking was quite limited, not even more than half a cup.
Eternal vigilance, eternal sobriety, that is to say, for people like Neo
Neo wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and looked at the faces of everyone present one by one. His eyes were a little red, he sniffed, and said slowly: "Listen to me, tonight, everyone will
The knife is under the pillow!" After saying that, regardless of everyone's expressions, he stood up and staggered out, walked to the door of the tent, turned around and said: "Or maybe he was so drunk that he fell unconscious."
Neo left, and the atmosphere in the tent was a little strange and awkward. There were a lot of people here, but there were basically no idiots. Everyone could more or less understand the meaning of Neo's words, but everyone was a little bit embarrassed.
I believe it, it’s so shocking! And it’s the kind that makes people unable to resist!
A hurried escort met Neo and said happily: "I'm looking for you! The lady is going to Asia with Miss Rodriquez. I want to ask if you have anything or words to send to Danny."
Danny was Valentina's knight, and he went to the Valley of Refuge with Valentina. Then Asia Miriam asked the guard to tell her this, and her intention was naturally to express her intention tactfully, and to talk to Danny.
It has nothing to do with a copper plate
Neo was slightly surprised when he heard this. He thought that Rodriquez would become a witness to the incident. In this way, the lives of Miriam and Xavier would at least be guaranteed. Unexpectedly, this Wind Phoenix girl was so eager to ask for help.
Walk
"That's fine, I didn't taint the statement. I was deeply involved in the incident and was passive..." Thinking of this, Neo said: "Go and tell the lady and ask her to wait for a while. I will write a note and pack some things."
, ask her to bring it to Danny.”
The guard did not doubt that he was there, so he responded and went to return to his life. Neo quickly walked back to his tent, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a letter in a hurry. Three large pieces of paper were filled to the brim, and he wrote it in one go.
After folding the letter, he dug out some items from the package he had hidden before, found a small leather bag, put it together with the letter, and carried it out of the tent.
Aurora, the Knight of Iris, has a noble status and a distinguished reputation. She has a military position. The fossil of the phoenix egg that her father gave her as a birthday gift half a year ago mutated. Aurora went to the south of the Titan City alone, which has been severely eroded by darkness.
He went to the dangerous area to search for the ruins of the ancient Skyfire. After experiencing some life and death risks, he finally obtained the powerful holy beast companion Fenghuang. As soon as he returned to Phoenix City, he heard about the affairs of the Erdrit Territory and what happened to Diff and others.
The Rodriquez family has its own news channel for the big move, which is why Aurora can arrive in time. However, this trip is just a 'drop-in' after all. She has official business to go to Asia, and this Fenghuang actually
It's a projection, it's the wind phoenix clan's protection for newborns. If you want to preserve this power as long as possible, you need the necessary facilities. It's not a problem to just waste it like this. Plus, Xavier has already planned it.
They pushed Mirien away, and Victor did not want Aurora to be involved in the incident and cause countless troubles, so he encouraged her from the side, which led to this hasty farewell.
"Miss, please give this package to Danny personally and ask him to open it in person." When Neo handed the small leather bag to Miriam, he said carefully and then turned to Aurora with a smile and said: "
Dear Miss Rodriquez, my young lady’s memory is not very good, please remind me tomorrow morning.”
Aurora nodded slightly, while Miriam frowned slightly. She was a little unhappy. Her original intention was to use this farewell to let her friend see Neo up close. Aurora's energy now is extraordinary.
, maybe with her help, the road of love between her and Neo can be smoother, but Neo obviously messed up the matter. He failed to understand his painstaking efforts. Not only did he make people wait for a long time, but his image was also uncharacteristic.
He was sloppy, had messy hair, smelled of alcohol, and there were only traces of alcohol on his clothes and collar. He also said some inexplicable words. Danny opened it himself and had to be reminded by Aurora. Did he know what he was talking about?
Oh my God! Why did her lover become an alcoholic? Is it because of the three army sticks? Or the indulgence that ended with the victory of the eastward migration? But the Neo she knew was never such a frivolous person? He really looked like his father
As I said, people will change? Especially after experiencing real ups and downs...
Miriam's bad mood made what should have been a warm farewell lose its flavor.
"Then I'll go. With Aurora here, it's safe."
Neo pursed his lips and nodded, saying a thousand words, but it was hard to say them out. He watched Miriam's retreating figure, "Million..." He finally couldn't help but speak.
Stopping, Miriam and Aurora both looked back at Neo. Miriam was a little confused, a little surprised, and a little embarrassed. There were other people not far away. How could Neo call her name directly?
?Too careless. It seems that I really drank a little too much.
Aurora was also surprised. There had never been a wind phoenix that could transport her thousands of miles away in the past. She and Miriam mainly had close exchanges of letters. Miriam mentioned her love life and her true love in the letter, but in detail
She didn't mention who this person was today. Now, she felt that the relationship between Miriam and Neo was unusual. More importantly, she had never seen a man with such eyes, affectionate and light.
Sadness, with the meaning of blessing and encouragement, as well as these other complicated and difficult-to-understand things, combined with his hesitant expression, made a very impressive impression.
"Take care..." These were Neo's only words of farewell.
Miriam nodded and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, Aurora looked back at the figure standing in the wind and snow. For no reason, her eyes were wet. Maybe she was too sensitive. She felt the farewell.
smell……
At the same time, Xavier sullenly agreed to the proposal of sending some items to the Windrush team as a reward. It was not that he was reluctant to part with the food and drink, nor was it because Victor had brought the food and drink, so he felt it was too polite. He felt that Neo
He is becoming more and more arrogant. He directly orders this matter without going through him. Once again, he is very passive. Is it true that only Neo is considerate of his subordinates, and he, a dignified lord, does not care about his meritorious subordinates? It is really unreasonable!
"Warriors like the Stormtroopers should be recalled, rewarded heavily, and celebrated together!"
Xavier naturally wanted to give Victor's face, "It's a bit late today, so you can send some food and wine and return to the team with the Wind Team tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" Zhijev took the order.
The next time Zhijev saw Neo was at the gate of the camp. The motorcade had already set off. The two of them were hanging at the end of the team, chatting as they walked.
"You didn't let people from the principality go with you. This is very wise, but it doesn't get rid of your tail." Neo said and pointed to the sky.
Zhizev was considered the most senior veteran in the migration team, and he immediately heard the implication of Neo's words: "You mean..."
Neo stretched out his hand and made a 'shush' gesture, and then Zhizev realized that he had spoken too loudly unconsciously.
"Kaban giant eagles do not have night vision, but they must be aware of their shortcomings and will not be without other preparations. Therefore, your real chance is to take advantage of the dimness at dusk. I have calculated it. If you walk evenly, it will be just right."
Arrive at the location of the Storm Team at dusk. The Storm Team has already gone to the bandits' den in the morning, but the terrain there is quite good, which is more suitable for hiding. Don't make any noise. It will be in the name of drill and training, otherwise it will be easier.
