Chapter Seventy-Eight: Selfish Anger
The Byronic kingdom wanted to send an army to follow Mel to the settlement of the Tajon elves, but the Tajon goblins said that Mel could not take anyone with him. After several days of negotiations www.biquge.info Taeyong Goblin finally allowed Maier to take five people with them, but they had to choose the five people.
Over the next few days, the Kingdom of Byron sent batches of candidates to accompany Mel to the Tajon Elf Settlement, but none of them were chosen. On the fifth day, because the work was relatively idle, Liu Xiu went to the Tairong goblins to watch the excitement, but was selected by the Taerong goblins.
The reason why they chose Liu Xiu is very simple, that is, "rare". Liu Xiu is the only earthling in the new world, and the Taeyong goblins think he is very observant, so they chose him.
After choosing Liu Xiu, the Tairong goblins chose the same Zhenxin who came to see the excitement. The reason why they choose Zhenxin is also very simple, that is, "cute and simple", in Liu Xiu's words, "silly and sweet".
An Jie, who followed Zhenxin to see the excitement, saw that she was not selected, and was a little unconvinced, so she showed her most proud potion in front of the Tairong goblin. The Taeyong elves were intrigued by her potion and chose her as well.
Liu Xiu, Zhenxin and An Jie don't have much combat power, not only can they not protect Maier's safety, but they also have to rely on Maier's protection. In the interest of security, the Cabinet Ministers decided to reserve the remaining two places for combatants.
Another few days passed, and none of the fighters favored by the Kingdom of Byron were selected. In desperation, Maier could only let Yanhe get out of the way.
At first, Maier didn't want to bring Yanhe with him, so he didn't let her participate in the audition. Nami Jushi was worried that Yanhe would not be selected, so he came to check the situation, and the two of them were selected by the Taerong goblins at the same time. The reason why they were chosen is simpler, because they are Ira youkai, and they are also a relatively rare race in the eyes of the Taeyong fairies.
With Maier going out and one less cabinet minister, Nami is inseparable as prime minister. But others are really worried about the safety of Mel, for the current kingdom of Byrons, Mel is an indispensable existence, and he can't afford to make a mistake. On the last expedition, Maier was wounded, which made the decision-making committee regret it for a while. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, the cabinet ministers would rather let the country's development come to a standstill, but also give priority to ensuring Myer's personal safety, so the cabinet meeting unanimously approved the proposal to let Nami lay man accompany Maier out.
In this way, the choice of the person who will go to the Taeyong fairy settlement with Mel is decided. On February 17, 136 AH, Maier and his party, who were ready, left the city of Byron with the Tajon elves. In order to ensure the safety of Mel and the two cabinet ministers, none of the participants knew why they were selected, and no one except the top of the kingdom knew that Mel and the two cabinet ministers had left the city of Byrons.
Everyone is not worried that the Taeyong fairy will plot against Myr, everyone is worried about Myr's safety on the way. Everyone knows that Mel was attacked by the Taeyong Monsters on the way back to Byron Fort from Yaolin City, because the Tayrong Monsters only explained their relationship with the Tayrong Monsters, and did not explain why the Tayrong Monsters attacked Mel's team in groups, so Maier and the others thought that the Taeyong Monsters would often attack the Taeyong Goblins in groups.
Moreover, the Taeyong elves have repeatedly said that they may encounter danger on the road, and also said that they will fight with their lives to protect Myr. But the height, size, and combat power of the Taeyong goblins are there, how dare the Byron Kingdom hand over Mair to them for protection? In fact, the Taerong goblins didn't say everything this time, in fact, it was not only this team of Taerong goblins who protected Myer, and the scattered Taerong goblins along the way would fight with their lives to protect Myer.
On the way to the Taeyong Elven Settlement, the party encountered a total of five attacks. Only one of them was attacked by Taeyong Yokai, and the remaining four were attacked by slave traders.
The slave traders did not capture the Tayyong elves to gain their loyalty, as the Taeyong elves could not be obtained through violence and threats. After they catch the Taeyong goblin, they will first trade with the buyer, and then pretend to move the Taeyong goblin elsewhere for the buyer to grab on the way.
As soon as the buyer appears, the slave traders who are escorting the Taeyong goblins will scatter in all directions. The Taeyong elves will think that the buyer saved them, and in order to repay the favor, they will offer their loyalty. This despicable method always succeeds, because Taeyong goblins are very simple and very deceived. By the time they realized that they had been deceived, they had already performed the allegiance ritual, the one that dripped blood into the fire and showed that they would give everything for the allegiance.
With Yan He and Nami Layman, whether it is dealing with a single Tairong monster or a horde of slave traders, it is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables. After defeating the first group of slave traders, Mair himself went up and captured a few captives to find out how they would sell the Taeyong elves. Upon learning of the despicable methods of the slave traders and buyers, Maier did not hesitate to kill them all, and personally commanded the next three battles.
The so-called personal command is really just an order. There is only one sentence in this order, and that is "leave no living mouth". Yan He was very satisfied with this order, and he would successfully complete the task every time.
It is worth mentioning that Nami Jushi never participated in the battle. She knew that she would become strange in a fighting state, and for some reason, she didn't want Mel to see what she looked like when she was fighting, so she didn't do it.
Maier thought that his actions would make the Taeyong elves feel more comfortable, but they didn't want to choose a representative after Maier and Yanhe had disposed of the fifth group of attackers, and they cautiously came to talk to Maier.
"Maybe you think we are troublesome, but we still want to advise you, it's better to be tolerant."
"Huh?"
"We mean that there seem to be some of your kindreds among the foreigners you killed, and we can't comment on anything about you killing foreigners, but at least you should have some tolerance for your kindred."
One of the four slave traders was a Leyting slave trader. In Tayjung's opinion, they are Mair's kind, so they think that at least Mair will not kill all of them, but Mair kills them all.
"But they are wicked, or wicked people who have harmed your kind."
"Naturally, we will deal with the evil they have done to us with justice. We know you want to uphold justice, too, but you're acting too aggressively and with selfish anger. Once justice is tainted with selfishness, it ceases to be just. We really want to associate with you, that's why we say these things to you, and we hope you don't get angry. ”
That's how Taeyong Fairy's way of thinking. I think Kiki slapped the bird because of impulsiveness, and blamed herself for it for a long time. It was not only because she had crossed over to Mel to punish the birdie, but also because she had acted with "selfish anger" and violated justice, which was why she blamed herself for so long.
The words of the goblin representative gave Mel a feeling of empowerment. He suddenly realized that since he came down the mountain, he has often killed people out of anger. This is true for the first encounter with a wicked man, for killing an evil witch in a cave, and for dealing with criminals on the way back to Byrensburg with an emigrant.
It is true that these people who were killed were guilty. But as Bolton said, God is tolerant of the world, everyone has shortcomings, but God is tolerant of everyone's faults, and Mel has never had the slightest mercy on the sinner. Disposition is disposition, mercy is mercy, and there is no contradiction between the two. You can execute a prisoner with mercy or with anger or judgment, but they are of a completely different nature. The former is obviously killing for the sake of justice and protecting others, while the latter kills for the sake of satisfying selfish desires and loses his sense of justice.
Maier thought he had a good theological attainment and preached charity and tolerance, but he did not do it himself. The feeling of guilt spread through his heart, and his cheeks became hot. He sincerely apologized to the fairy representative and expressed his sincere gratitude to her.
His performance made the Taeyong goblins very satisfied, and they thought that this person was worth associating. After this, Maier went to apologize to Yanhe, because most of the slave traders were killed by Yanhe. She killed someone at Maier's orders, so Maier felt that she had to apologize to her.
This is the first time that Maier has taken the initiative to talk to Yanhe in addition to official business. Yan He's face flushed with excitement, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Huh? Dao, Daodao apologize or something...... Finish! Whole! There's no need for that! So, those bad guys...... I'm not used to seeing it for a long time! But...... But since you said that killing people is wrong...... Then I won't kill people casually in the future! ”
"Thank you for your cooperation."
There was still a strong sense of distance in Mel's words, but Yan He had already learned to ignore it. She bit her lip nervously, and her eyes glanced quickly to the upper left corner. At the end of last year, Xiaoxiao bought a hairpin in the style of a colorful butterfly, and Meier praised her in front of many people for her cute appearance in the hairpin. Yan He was also present at the time, so she also managed to get a hairpin in the style of a colorful butterfly, and she specially wore it when she went out this time.
But they had been gone for a month, and Maier had not mentioned it once as if he had not seen Yanhe wearing a hairpin. Yanhe felt that it was rare for Maier to take the initiative to talk to him, and wanted to hear Maier praise himself, so he took the initiative to ask Maier.
"You...... What do you think...... Does my hairpin look good? ”
"Huh?"
After apologizing, Maier wanted to leave, but after hearing Yanhe's words, the foot he had just lifted fell back. His gaze looked at the colorful butterfly decoration above her head because of Yan He's words, and he nodded subconsciously.
"Well, it's good."
Boasted!!!
Boasted! was praised!!!!
I'm so happy! I'm so happy!!!!
Yan He, who had been overwhelmed by the wave of joy, completely forgot that Mel was in front of him, and rolled around lying on the ground regardless of his image, startling Myer. Maier didn't know what Yanhe was smoking, and quickly walked away.
At the end of each battle, the Tayrong elves collect the loot. They refer to the recovered weapons as "samples" and seem to want to bring them back to the settlement for research. In fact, the Tairong goblins rarely win battles against foreign forces. On the one hand, it is because the attacks are basically scattered Tairong goblins, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the settlement goblins, and on the other hand, because the Taerong goblins don't like to fight, they don't have any research on tactics, and they can easily fall into the trap of the enemy.
While the Taeyong elves were recovering the sample, Maier found Liu Xiu. Before leaving, Maier assigned Liu Xiu a task. He asked Liu Xiu to take the time to ask Taeyong goblins some questions, preferably from the earth, such as what a "plastic bag" is and what a "flush toilet" is.
Liu Xiu didn't understand the meaning of this task, and didn't take it to heart at all at first. After the first encounter, he casually said that if he had an "automatic rifle" and enough ammunition, the slave traders would never have been able to escape. As a result, the Taeyong Fairy, who was standing next to him, answered very seriously, "The current level of technology can't make an automatic rifle", which scared him so much that he almost bit his tongue.
After that, he began to ask questions about the Taeyong goblin next to him almost nervously, and excitedly told Mel that the Taeyong goblin was the living "Dimensional X Encyclopedia", but Mel couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
After coming into contact with Taeyong goblins for a while, Liu Xiu discovers that although Taeyong goblins know the definition of many things, they must go through meticulous research and reasoning to find a way to make these things. Even if they could figure out how to make these things, they wouldn't be able to make them because of the lack of hardware.
Moreover, the Taeyong goblins will not destroy the natural environment in order to make their lives better, so that after they invented the practical steam engine, each settlement will only make them on demand, usually only a few dozen, and they are not used in large-scale production.
