Chapter 246: The Poor Dagger Sees a Wave
Wake Reef, a small rebel base founded by Luo Zhengdao, has had its own interests and values since the birth of the organization, and in this regard, even the founder Luo Zhengdao must obey the organization's requirements. If he is determined to act according to his own personal preferences and rebel against the interests of the organization, the result of the intensification of the conflict will be nothing more than strict internal strife, or he will launch a purge that will destroy those who disagree from the spirit and the body. If he can't, or doesn't dare to play self-harm so boldly, the choice left for him is nothing more than to compromise with reality, and find a relatively acceptable balance between the interests of the organization and the demands of the individual, so as not to get to the extreme of splitting up the situation.
Restrained his sadness, Luo Zhengdao smiled and picked up the wine glass, and said loudly:
"Come, Vena, cheers for my marriage!"
"Will, you don't have to be ...... like this"
At this time, Vina Dubov could also see that Luo Zhengdao's mood was indeed not very good, and she turned to some sympathy to try to comfort him.
Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao drank the wine in the cup very consciously, and said calmly:
"No, you don't have to come to comfort me, this is the inevitable logic of the development of things, from the day I sought to restore the Bright Dynasty, the one I encountered today is destined to happen, I am mentally prepared. Vena, let's have another toast for His Royal Highness the Lord Regent and his wife! ”
The poor people in the old world envy those local tyrants, everyone thinks that the rich and powerful, fragrant cars and BMWs rely on the red and green, and the local tyrants who are not bad for money envy the officials, thinking that they have great power in front of the back. In fact, no matter where you are in the food chain of human society, in order to maintain your status and livelihood, people have to do something that goes against their hearts, otherwise you will not be able to get along. From putting laundry detergent into fritters, to singing praises for postponing retirement and pension, and shamelessly building momentum for genetically modified foods imported from abroad. Behind those crazy behaviors that seem to harm others and themselves, there is a fairly reasonable logical chain support, in a word, this makes people involuntarily in the rivers and lakes.
"Hey, what are you...... Don't drink it. ”
It's rare to get yourself drunk once, which is an unprecedented event for Luo Zhengdao, who never indulges his desires. Wine is strong and cowardly, this is quite appropriate for him, with this urge of wine, Luo Zhengdao cheekily grabbed the jade hand of the half-elf beauty and refused to let go, and said:
"Vina, what do you think when you hear that I am getting married? Saddened? Eat one's heart out? Confused? Or is it ...... Just relax? ”
Hearing this, the embarrassed Vina Dubov struggled to break free from Luo Zhengdao's rude entanglement, and reprimanded:
"Will, let go, you're hurting me."
"I'm sorry, I just can't help but wonder what you think of me."
Talking about the benefits of monogamy in a patriarchal society with a distinct hierarchy is as ridiculous as a tiger and a lion discussing a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and it is not worth talking about at all.
You know, even in the old world of trying to promote equality between men and women, for most women, there is an invisible transparent ceiling in their career development, and no matter how good their talents are, their promotion to a certain level will come to an abrupt end. The fundamental reason is that men do not want to see an overly capable woman appear in their boss's position, and the very few strong women who have achieved success in their careers have completed a complete transformation of their femininity to masculinity, which means that their gender is actually male.
Luo Zhengdao's life in the new world has many unstable factors, in addition to the curse of the Aragami like the appendage of bones, there are also potential threats such as the Second Goblin Empire, and even the evil warlock Najaf, and life is by no means as comfortable as it seems to outsiders on the surface. Luo Zhengdao's love is out of control, it is just an explosion of negative feelings that have been accumulated for a long time, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
Hearing Luo Zhengdao's voice, the face of the half-elf beauty turned cold, and she said in an almost questioning tone:
"Who do you think I'm for?"
Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao, who confided his heart through the strength of wine, put away his drunken state, looked at the half-elf beauty with his eyes, and said at a very close distance to each other's breath:
"Miss Vina Dubov, please marry me!"
As he spoke, Luo Zhengdao suddenly knelt down on one knee at this time and took out a hair ornament from the space bag. The courtship ceremony of the Guangming Dynasty is a gift of hair ornaments from husband and wife, and it is estimated that the predecessor time-traveler intercepted it from the concept of a married couple, and it seems that someone is also prepared today.
“…… Aren't you kidding? ”
With a little joy in the surprise, the half-elf race is known for being energetic and enthusiastic, but it is not a matter of playing with emotional problems, seeing that Luo Zhengdao proposed to him according to the rules, Vina Dubov only felt as if he was in a dream. Hearing her answer, Luo Zhengdao stood up and said:
"Instead of marrying a so-called aristocratic lady whose identity is doubtful that I have only met once, it is better to marry you, is this reason not enough?"
When Luo Zhengdao, who was full of confidence, held up the curvaceous jaw of the half-elf beauty with his fingers and said this sentence slightly teasingly, it was inevitable that the thunder would stir the earth. Now it's okay, not only the sumptuous lunch in the room has become an ornament, but the connected dinner time has also had to be rescheduled to supper, tossing and turning until late at night, and finally Luo Zhengdao, who felt tired, spread his arms and lay on this wide soft bed and pretended to sleep. Covered with only a light white blanket, Vina Dubov lay on his chest drenched in sweat, and she looked at each other with a blurred gaze, and there was a strange feeling that she would never get tired of looking at it.
"Hey, let go! It's time to eat, you don't want to wait until tomorrow for breakfast together, do you? My body can bear it, but I'm afraid you can't hold on. ”
Hearing Luo Zhengdao's ridiculous words, Vina Dubov looked at him with an unusually calm gaze and whispered:
"Am I doing something wrong?"
Rolling his eyes, Luo Zhengdao's fingers gently stroked the toned and plump carcass in his arms, and said:
"If it's really wrong, it's up to me to say it, do you have a bad tendency to belittle my character by saying this?"
"You...... Dislike! ”
The sigh of the half-elf beauty was snatched away by Luo Zhengdao, and she angrily put her forehead on someone's chest to show her dissatisfaction, and later Vina Dubov said worriedly:
"Will, do you really want to marry me?"
"What's wrong? Not happy? ”
When the sensibility of the heart and the rationality deduced by logical thinking contradict each other, people are often accustomed to doing things according to their sensibility, and when reason is restored, they immediately begin to regret what they have done earlier, and vice versa. This may explain the fundamental reason why the human race can never be satisfied, from the beginning they have pursued the opposite of what they have pursued, and no matter which path they choose at the beginning, they will regret the choice they made at that time, which is called the manipulation of fate.
Vina Dubov was sure that Luo Zhengdao did not just treat her as a meat weapon, but had already thought about the problem from the other party's standpoint, and at this moment she said with a slightly gloomy expression:
"Will, I'll marry that young lady baron! I'm only half-elf, and I'm ......."
Internal friction is one of the biggest damages to the organization, and the danger is second only to the loss of the normal order of rewards and punishments, and the relationship between Luo Zhengdao and the half-elf beauty will not be criticized, but his insistence on marrying a wife with impure blood is destined to cause an uproar. No one can transcend his own time, and an anachronist is not fighting against an enemy, everyone is his enemy, just as those who liberated slaves in the era of slavery were ridiculed and ridiculed, and even the freed slaves thought he had done wrong. In the same way, in the new world under the hierarchy, acting against the rules of the masses is bound to break out into violent conflicts with the surrounding people, and this unhelpful internal friction and contradiction will undoubtedly damage Luo Zhengdao's career and prestige.
In those years, the university was finally not in vain, how could Luo Zhengdao not know what he was doing, but he would rather carry the trouble on his back than his heart to be full of guilt, his trouble was enough, and no matter how much it was, it was not a big deal.
Immediately, Luo Zhengdao smiled confidently and said:
"With all the power and wealth I have, what kind of woman would I want? Do you need to rely on women to increase your glory? ”
Speaking of this, he did not give Vina Dubov time to argue, waved his hand, and said:
"Stop talking about this boring thing, I'm going to get my discipline right when I get back to Wake Reef, these guys have been going too far lately and have forced me to take risks."
"Will!"
The half-elf beauty's coquettish complaint sounded more like a cat purring in satisfaction, Luo Zhengdao patted her curvy plump buttocks, and said:
"Don't worry! No matter how you punish them, you won't kill them, but these bunch of balls are too arrogant, and it doesn't hurt to beat them more. ”
The scorching sun of Wake Reef is always silent and hot, and as time goes on, the open area along the way from the port area to the settlement gradually becomes bustling.
Domestic sewage discharged from inland settlements is used by well-wishers, and after being subjected to progressive sedimentation and sand filtration in the treatment tanks, it is used to grow crops in the open space between the sides of the corridor and the new growth wall. Drought-tolerant shrubs selected from other enclave islands are extremely vigorous, and the olive nuts have hard husks on the outside, and the kernels can be used for oil extraction or added to paint as a thinner. In order to promote the germination of new branches, the waste such as regularly cut branches is dried and crushed, carbonized and pressed into honeycomb fuel blocks and sold to settlements for daily use.
Turning a wasteland full of gravel and yellow sand into a vibrant oasis, this strong contrast of heaven and earth is easy to excite, especially evoking the pride of the creator, but at the moment admiring the beautiful scenery, Luo Zhengdao's heart can't find half of the joy.
