Their origins
The dragon probably knows that he has been calculated, but when he lives to this point, he doesn't care about many things, even his own life, and maybe he doesn't care when he takes revenge and eliminates his obsession, so Rhubarb doesn't care about Master Sailor's thoughts, as long as the process is interesting and the result satisfies him-
Although his strength has decreased, the days with Merlin are really more interesting than he imagined, at least much more interesting than the days when he just thinks about how to take revenge, and humans are really interesting creatures [sic].
Moreover, when the gods of the Light Faction took revenge in the future, they saw that someone on their side was using the power inherited from them to help them deal with them, and the scene and the other party's possible expressions were overjoyed for the dragon to imagine it.
Yes, the dragon never doubted that Merlin would not help, and he was also familiar with Merlin's temperament during the time they got along, or rather, Merlin was not difficult to understand.
Merlin's love and hate are very stark.
Just like Sheng Yawei entered his eyes, he pestered her for decades, even if Sheng Yawei's temperament is not very easy to get along with - when she is boring, people suspect that she lives in a vacuum, when she is bad, people want to stuff her back into her mother's womb, and when she is ruthless, she is afraid to tremble.
Not to mention the cute earth girls in the 21st century, even the female men produced by the stars are sometimes more likable than Sheng Yawei, but I haven't seen Merlin dislike or care about her. Merlin maintained the habits of "I found something good again, hehe, take it back and let Arthur choose first", "I heard that there is something interesting in the *** star field recently, call Yavi together", "I haven't fought with Sheng in the arena today, don't open the forest" and other habits for decades.
It's easy for a person to make up his mind to do one thing, but it's too hard, too difficult to keep doing the same thing and maintaining the same mood for decades
Just as it is easy for a person to do good deeds, but it is difficult to only do good deeds and not do bad deeds in his life.
At this point, even stubbornness is no match for Merlin.
For example, Huang Yan's closeness to Sheng Yawei has a bit of a fledgling complex and the meaning of the imprint effect, because Sheng Yawei is the first peer that Huang Yan has always had a consistent attitude towards him, and has not changed his attitude/attitude because he has found any traits in him [at least physiologically], it just so happens that Sheng Yawei has the strength he yearns for, so Huang Yan instinctively approaches her, gets close to her, and learns from her.
Therefore, there is uncertainty and plasticity that minors usually have.
For example, after coming into contact with a group of people in Phoenix who are not the same personality, Huang Yan found that in fact, he wanted to make friends like ordinary people and not be surrounded by a circle of special eyes, although it was not simple, but it was not difficult, but he had not encountered it before, or he didn't have the courage to try it, and the way to try it was wrong.
Aware of this, Huang Yan's subconscious dependence on Sheng Yawei has been reduced a lot, and he has become more cheerful. Although Sheng Yawei is still special to Huang Yan, he is no longer as he was at the beginning of their acquaintance, as if Sheng Yawei is the only important person in the game world, and everyone else is dispensable.
Of course, the change of the words is consciously guided by Sheng Yawei, in Sheng Yawei's view, the world of only one person has become the world of two people, in fact, there is no change in essence. Sheng Yawei made up his mind soon after meeting Huang Yan and didn't let this little Zhengtai, who he liked more and was like his younger brother, live in a narrow world again. Of course, in addition to doing this for the sake of the good words, she also has some selfishness of "following fewer people behind her, and less following".
However, how do you know that Sheng Yawei didn't use the same method to guide (pay) Merlin?
Yes, the same method, Sheng Yawei also used it on Merlin, but the effect was not mentioned, Sheng Yawei's mood at that time was broken.
Obviously, being cute and arrogant and cold are just some of the characters shown by Merlin, and he is a mature adult with his own world view, values, and outlook on life. Maybe his personality is as flawed as Yan Yan, but it doesn't mean that he can be subtly changed like Yan Yan, who knows that the people who are subtly changed will not be the people who want to change him?
As far as Sheng Yawei's experience is concerned, Merlin is a harder bone than a rumor.
Merlin's parents love him and love him very much; he is afraid that he will be arrogant and stupid, and his brother, who is a round older than him, plays the role of spurring; and from childhood to adulthood, he only has friends he doesn't want to make, no friends he can't make; he has been studying in the best educational institutions, and there is never a shortage of famous teachers to guide him, although Sheng Yawei is very strange how Merlin grew up in such a healthy environment to become what he is now But undoubtedly, such people who do not lack love or spur are the most difficult to overcome, because what they believe is generally extremely difficult to change, just like Sheng Yawei herself.
And Sheng Yawei because of the traditional Chinese culture education and the complex experience of traveling, he still has a mediocre and peaceful shell, compared to Meilin's personality is more distinct and more presumptuous.
There are good things about this character, people who are loyal to their desires/desires and are not greedy are always happy, and there are bad things, such as being rigid and easy to break.
It can be said that the good and bad in Merlin's personality are very pleasing to the eye in the eyes of the dragon Yerega Greenwich Rhubarb, because Rhubarb himself is such a character. It can also be said that rhubarb is a negative teaching material - just look at his experience, you can know that his too rigid and stubborn actions led to him being "broken" and imprisoned in the Valley of Xu Feng for countless years, and now he is lucky to get out of trouble.
Rhubarb has protected Merlin several times, and in addition to the contract, he has not wanted to see how far Merlin, a little guy who is seven points similar to him, can go - if there was someone like him to Merlin, and there was such a person who has always been on his side and stood by him, would his experience have changed?
It is precisely because Rhubarb knows Merlin as well as he knows himself, so he knows that he is as stubborn as Merlin, and his bad feelings towards him have not diminished for decades, as long as Merlin is still the Merlin who loves and hates and has clear grievances, after the two of them made a contract, after he saved each other several times, and when he is in trouble, the other party will never stand by, even if he is unwilling and unwilling, he will help.
Although he occasionally imagines a wonderful future, Rhubarb's desire to return to the God Realm is not so urgent, and the strength factor only accounts for a small part
Moreover, the "harmonious communication" with the Phoenix players, the aborigines of the human race, and the alien races has changed Rhubarb's mentality a lot.
Back in the Dragon Domain, although Rhubarb was also an overlord-level figure, the dragons' attitude towards him was not like that of the people in Phoenix-
Back then, even after beating the invincible opponents of the dragons, the dragons still hated, feared, and despised him, and the only dragon god and dragon emperor he could not defeat regarded him as a very troublesome existence that it was best to ignore.
And in Phoenix, the mythical aborigines, the complete demon race, the elf race and the sea tribe, etc., are tolerant of his provocations and covenants, and this tolerance and respect makes him feel a warmth that he has never felt before, so much, so much.
The little aliens led by Heyman [not complete and at their peak] were not as wasteful as he thought, and after he had managed to clean them all up by a little means, these little ones were not afraid of him, but chased after him, either challenging or learning. He seems to have become another tyrant of Phoenix, but the feeling is completely opposite to when he was in the Dragon Domain - the real little brother turned out to be this feeling!
Maybe that's what the so-called sense of responsibility feels like, right?
It seems to be bound by something, and sometimes it is a little annoying, but it is not uncomfortable, but a little heartwarming.
It's troublesome and heartwarming, and the contradiction is amazing!
Yes, everything about Phoenix makes Rhubarb feel amazing.
Those who had to admit to being strong even in his heyday could have a very good chat with a group of weak chickens in his eyes, and the gesture of no one on the side was not pretending or perfunctory at first glance.
Those creatures of different civilizations and races seem to have no barriers at all, and there is almost no fear and calculation between each other, and even if they do, it is a joke.
There are a lot of people who have a weirder personality than him, or who don't have the slightest combat power to make some strange things, are actually highly respected here, and occupy a special and higher position than many people.
Most of the people who gave orders were not the strongest of the group, but the strongest people did not feel that there was anything wrong with listening to those who were weaker than themselves, and those who gave orders did not feel that they were superior, as if it were their duty and not honor......
Rhubarb sometimes feels that these are contrary to his cognition, and he can't understand or accept them, but sometimes he has to admit that this kind of free and open, faintly transparent and harmonious atmosphere with the outer circle and the inner square, he feels extremely comfortable in it.
Phoenix, a guild with complex composition, actually fits the definition of "home" in his mind better than the dragon domain connected by blood and race.
Of course, Rhubarb thinks that the most amazing thing about Phoenix is the president Sheng Yawei.
If Rhubarb is seven points of appreciation and three points of closeness to Merlin, then he is twelve points of appreciation and twelve points of jealousy of Sheng Yawei.
After personally verifying Sheng Yawei's strength far beyond her peers and being unscientifically strong, the huge potential embodied in her body made Rhubarb wonder if Sheng Yawei was also as mutated as herself?
So close to Youki?
Although [Sheng Yawei] their branch often has metamorphosis/metamorphosis, but the metamorphosis has become such as Sheng Yawei, which is really unprecedented!
Yes, Rhubarb recognized her inheritance as soon as he exchanged hands with Sheng Yawei.
Because, Rhubarb even knows the mysterious ancestor Mo Fei, but the friendship is not deep.
Q: Why don't you have a deep friendship?
Rhubarb met Murphy when he was a child, and his intuition as a small animal told him to be, to be far away, to be away, to be perverted, to be in a state (the little dragon can also be counted as a small animal, right?)
Maybe he thinks that the small appearance of rhubarb fried hair (scales?) is very funny, and Murphy likes to tease him for a while, but later Murphy has been in retreat for tens of thousands of years, and until Rhubarb was sealed, there was no new news about Murphy, and Rhubarb gradually forgot about Murphy's existence. Murphy is also one of the few intelligent creatures who had close contact with Rhubarb before he was sealed.
Because of this shallow friendship, the inheritor of the mysterious mage who broke into the Valley of Xu Feng with the Yueshen ear buckle and was a little weak was able to stay alive under the hands of Rhubarb, whose strength was not weakened, and Rhubarb left the Yueshen ear buckle as a trophy, and only drove the other party out of the valley.
This is also the reason why Orrido and Master Sailo know the location of the moon sunken earrings.
After dealing with Sheng Yawei, occasionally, Rhubarb would have this thought: Fortunately, it was Merlin and not her who went to the Valley of the Wind in the first place, otherwise, the person who was stunned and depressed would probably be replaced by himself.
For example, he took little Hayman to stir up an important experiment of black rumors, and was sued by an angry life player in front of Sheng Yawei. He didn't know what little Hayman had suffered, but he avoided him for a long time anyway. And he himself unknowingly poured two months of bad luck: he accidentally took the wrong water to drink, got the newly developed cartilage water for experiments, and didn't even have an antidote; went out hunting, was trapped in the natural element circle, and had to wait for someone to fish, and slept, and the circle of people around him was fine, but he was hit by thunder...... Wait, these embarrassments were ridiculed by Merlin for half a year. If he hadn't instinctively sensed the danger and obediently admitted his mistake by staying honest for a month, this might not have been the end.
Rhubarb is 100% sure that Sheng Yawei is the mastermind behind the scenes, but he doesn't know how Sheng Yawei did it, and there is no evidence.
is unreasonable, and after the strength is reduced, he can't beat it, and he is reasonable, and he is rude first.
After eating a few similar dumb losses, Rhubarb has a deep understanding of Sheng Yawei's personality and methods, in order not to find himself unhappy, Rhubarb is quite restrained in front of Sheng Yawei, and he also has a clear understanding: the metamorphosis of their branch is really in the same vein, and the mysterious boy he met when he was trapped is really just an exception.
It's so scary at such a young age, I'm really curious what else she can become in the future!
People say that dragons give birth to nine different sons, and they call them rhubarb, and he sees that dragons are as powerful as human beings, and they raise hundreds of people with the same rice! Some people, when he looks at them, are too lazy to lift their feet; and some people, even he has to avoid the edge for a while. Obviously they used to be the same, so weak, so weak, as if even a yawn could kill their cubs, and the weakest cubs of their dragon clan were not so pitiful!
After all these years, humanity is still so weak and so strong!
I can't help but think of what a human said many years ago: human beings are strong because they are gentle, and they are gentle because they are strong, and it is this contradiction that makes me believe that human beings will one day expel the immortals and become the protagonists on the world stage (to be continued). )
