24. The benefits of a good attitude
Moon sat on the edge of the bed, eating the city's standard ration, Moon Ice. I felt like I had an appetite all of a sudden, and I was very hungry.
"Moon... You—" Tyka said tentatively.
Moon looked up at her and said, "What about Caesar? Why didn't I see him?"
"When I went to their camp, Caesar happened to be taking someone to Olg. I had to ask his people to relay it to me, and it was said that it would take him about a month to return. ”
"Well, okay. Moon took a sip of water and said to Luo Xia, "Help me call Bone Dance." ”
"Hmm. Luo Xia answered.
"Moon, are you alright?"
"Why do you call me by name?"
"Ahh
"Call brother!"
"Are you sick?"
"Hahaha, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about something these days. After Moon finished speaking, Luo Xia and Bone Dance walked into the room.
"(Staring)" Bone Dance's eyes were quite unfriendly.
"Young Master. ”
"Sit down, I've thought about a lot of mess these days, and no one can talk about it, except for my father, you are the closest person to me, oh, Tihua doesn't count. ”
"Well, why? Why? That's not what you said when you slept with your mother. ”
"You're so stupid. Moon smiled gloatingly.
"If I'm stupid, you're even more stupid!"
"yes, that's what I've been thinking about lately. ”
"?" Tinhua and the others looked at Moon curiously.
"I'm just stupid. I'm not feeling sorry for myself, absolutely not. I've found that I've made a lot of mistakes up to now. Moon paused, intending to tell them what had come to mind for the past few days. Naturally, it is his standard summary method.
"My main focus over the years has been on studying my mother's notes, and fortunately there are some results, and as you can see, the thousand or so people, oh, maybe there are more than eight hundred left, so a lot of things have been overlooked. ”
"First, in addition to various research records, my mother's notes are more of a record of the ground and the earth, and these things are useless to me now, but I cling to them. ”
"Second, under the protection of my father, I can ignore many human accidents, but it does not mean that we are Heiyao, this hidden orchid, there are no accidents between various ethnic groups. If you keep it up, you're bound to have problems. After all, words and attitudes are more likely to anger others than deeds. ”
"Third, I created and cultivated the Moon Energy Guard, and I also designated the leader candidate, and I also took care of education, but it was too one-sided. Moreover, the command system is not perfect, the details are not in place, and the division of labor among the arms is not detailed. As a result, although these people have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, they are difficult to use. Moreover, I realized that I seemed to be ignorant of the composition and classification of the combat power of other countries, races, and other territories of our Black Yao, like a fool. ”
"Fourth, it's too idealistic, and all my energy is on the notes and the earthly world on them, and it's ridiculous that with me now, let alone bringing my people back to the earth, it's a bit difficult to protect myself. ”
"Fifth, the understanding of this hidden orchid is too one-sided, and between the various ethnic groups and within the various ethnic groups, it is basically a black eye, which is easy to cause problems in mutual communication. ”
"Sixth, the rejection of aliens is a bit strong, I have to say, there is no ability, but this inexplicable pride perfectly inherits the characteristics of the dark elves, and it is also through the search from Emma, Xiaobai and Turing, and the fault is found. ”
"Seventh, too weak. Not by force, but by intelligence, not exactly, what I'm trying to say..."
"Strategy?" Luo Xia took over.
"Yes, almost. Although this thing has to do with insight, intelligence, reaction, and other factors, I'm just too weak right now. I need more information as a foundation to enrich myself. ”
"Eighth, the prestige is insufficient? Well, you can't say that, the deterrent power is insufficient? Probably that's what it means, although the guards are willing to obey orders and use their lives, but... This is nothing more than the inevitable result of the unity of interests of everyone at the present stage. ”
"Ninth, I seem to be too attached, and too attached to pure power. So far, I don't think there's really any talent for strength to speak of, but I'm still pursuing it, and it feels like I'm pursuing an illusion. I remember that there was a person in my mother's notebook who was called to lie on his stomach, and he was still invincible without the strength of the chicken. Why haven't I changed my mind, strange man? ”
"So, you've said so much, it's a mess, do you have an idea how to do it?"
"I guess I have an idea, haha. I'll tell you when I'm done. Moon laughed and took it directly.
"I didn't think about what you said for so long, it is not difficult to see the problem and point out the problem, the important thing is how to solve the problem!" said Moon.
"Don't say it, I can say something like this from your mouth, I've changed my opinion of you. ”
Tihua looked proud, and swallowed back the sentence she wanted to say, "This is what our Demon Academy teacher said".
"Young Master, that..."
"Come a little bit, recognize the problem, do something targeted, and do whatever you want, it's better than before. ”
"Hmm. ”
(nods)"
In order to take care of Moon's body that had been lying down for a long time, the Bone Dance and the others did not choose to sleep with him today, but let the most talkative Tihua accompany Moon, which can be regarded as helping him continue to diverge his thinking?
"I've heard before that Alysanne's predecessors used all their magic power on a cloak, and I thought it was a pity at the time. Tihua, who was pillowed on Moon's arm, looked at the beautiful starry sky above her head and said to Moon.
"And now?" asked Moon.
"It's not as sorry as it used to be. ”
"Oh? Why?"
"It's just... It is... I can't tell. It's just not!"
"Actually, I used to think the same way as you. ”
"Huh, what about you now?"
"I used to think that this cloak, this starry sky must contain some kind of secret! After all, it was my mother, and that was the strongest mage of the dark elves at that time!" Moon paused, and then said, "It's just that in recent years, especially recently, I have gradually understood something. ”
"Got what?"
"We are dark elves, and we believe in the moon god. ”
"And then?"
"Think about it, if you thought of our entire dark elf race under the circumstances at that time, we might never see the stars again, never see the moon again, what kind of mood would it be?"
"......" Tihua thought for a long time, but couldn't speak for a long time.
"Actually, there's nothing special, there's nothing mechanical. Moon smiled, a mixed smile.
"It's just a starry sky, a starry sky that can never be seen again, a moon that can never be seen again. It's just a little hope for the family, for me. That's all. ”
"If my predecessor wrote poetry, he must have been a romantic poet. ”
"Huh. Moon kissed her on the head, her breathing steadied and she fell into a deep sleep.
I have to say that the change of human personality can sometimes be sudden, when you have a cognition of something, the attitude will naturally change, and the direct embodiment of the change in attitude towards things is usually reflected in the words, attitude, style, etc., which are synthesized into a concentrated characteristic, that is, personality.
The casualties of about two hundred guards cannot be said to be small, and it is not complete for Moon to say that he is not distressed, after all, there are only about a thousand people in total. But if you think about it carefully, in the past twenty years, there have only been about 1,000 Moon Guards, most of the reasons are actually in the early initial stage, first, the research and development process is complicated, the process of trying is too large, and then there is a practical problem, Moon can't buy the unawakened in the name of Stone, with the identity of Storm Black, anything is likely to get widespread attention and attention.
Now, this is not even a problem slowly, the moon energy has its own system, all talents and professions are involved, as long as there are the right people, it can naturally expand the scale, and now Moon, as the official viscount of the empire, still has his own fief in name, and it is not a big deal to buy or exchange some unawakened people everywhere.
The reason why Moon has changed now, the casualties of this exploration team can be said to be both a reason and an opportunity. It is a kind of explosion that has accumulated all kinds of doubts, denials, and uneasiness about oneself since participating in the butterfly trial. The so-called quantitative change will inevitably cause the realistic feedback of qualitative change at a certain node.
Moon, who was originally protected by Storm Territory by Storm, didn't need to think too much. However, from the moment he chose to participate in the butterfly, he despised the Warcraft, was suspicious of Ford Hui, ignorant of the internal struggle of Fury, jealous of Simba, the ninth prince, dissatisfied with Hei Yao's easy delivery of his people to death, easy belief in Worf's words, despair and hatred of powerlessness in the illusion, ignorance of the fishmen, ignorance of the unreasonable, and blind confidence in himself.
The process of all this is actually very short, but it is enough to shatter Moon's innocence and naivety for a hundred years, people's character and personality are not completely static, just look at whether there is that opportunity, whether there is enough self-awareness, it just so happens that Moon who can't be a soldier is now there.
The atmosphere in the city changed dramatically with the appearance of Moon, and a number of unawakened and a small number of guards who stirred up negative emotions were directly executed on the grounds that rumors of the Wandering Lord were regarded as disloyalty and breaking their oaths, all of which were punishments in place of the moon god.
Unsurprisingly, most of these people were newly appointed guards, and some unawakened people who had just arrived. Although the old group of guards were emotionally affected, they were not involved, which made Moon still feel a little relieved, it was not that nothing was accomplished, was it.
Chamber
"That's how it is, and our priority now is to get to the ground of the new territory. Given our previous shortcomings, the process may not be as fast as we thought. Moon sat at one end of the long table, and on either side was the Captain of the Twelve Guards. In the previous exploration, the landslide died, and Ao Feng survived with magic.
Several squadron leaders did not speak, quietly waiting for Moon to continue, "There are many problems exposed this time, and we need to improve and improve them in a targeted manner. Moon gradually spoke his thoughts to the squadron leaders.
"Varela, I need to expand the scale of the Stalker, and then form a separate formation, set up MI9, not to mention the rest, I need you to gradually grasp all kinds of information about the Deep Blue Forest. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. Vareira didn't hesitate, she was confident that Moon would solve the problems associated with it, the soldiers, the teaching system, the training system, etc., and if there were any shortcomings, she would find a way to make up for them.
"The joint training of the squadrons had previously been limited to their own classes (Annihilator, Spellbreaker, and Demon Hunter were each called their own classes), but it proved unfeasible. After that, all of them are dispersed, and the training and learning of this class can be followed by the previous one, and the cooperative combat training before each class must be additionally added. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
"On the other hand, you squadron leaders need to focus on strengthening their coordinated command capabilities, and their combat effectiveness is just like that. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
"Also, we may come into contact with more and more aliens in the future. Moon thought for a moment and continued: "It's okay for us to carry on to the city, compared to the traditional dark elves, there is less arrogance to the sky, if there is, let go of those meaningless arrogance, pride, and the alien race also has something to learn." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
"After that, I will consult my father, and combine the combat effectiveness systems of various countries and races to sort out a system standard for us to inherit the city, so that it is convenient to evaluate the enemy and ourselves. Strictly speaking, this is also a part of Varela's responsibility after that, but the formulation of the system needs to be discussed together. We thought we were invincible in the world, but when we went out, we found that our combat strength was only five. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
"Okay, that's it for now, Duran, you go and help me call Xiaobai and Emma. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. After the squadron leaders saluted, Yuguan walked out of the conference room. It wasn't until I walked into the underground school yard that I began to whisper.
After the knock on the door, Emma and Xiaobai timidly came to the conference room, looking a little at a loss.
"Sit down. Moon, who was talking to Luo Xia about something, turned around and sat down, signaling.
"I'll get straight to the point. Emma, you're staying in Jixiang City, and I need you to help me with something. ”
"Ahh In a panic, Emma began to stutter again as she spoke. "I can tell you, I will not give in to you, even if you get my body, you won't get my heart!"
"......" Moon looked at each other like an idiot, Tyhua has been close to Emma these days, what have they instilled in her? Maybe it's because they are more natural? Moon looked at Emma carefully, dark green hair, cold white and delicate skin, scaly breasts and lower body, really, can't arouse any interest.
"I don't need your heart, I just need your body. Moon made a wicked joke.
"I'm me, I'm me, I'm going to die!"
"Oh, then you're going to die. Moon shook his head at Luo Xia, who kept a smile and walked towards Emma step by step with incomparable oppression. Emma had seen this woman's horror with her own eyes!
"Wait a minute!" Emma shouted, "I'm gone!"
Moon wondered, what was the situation with the other party's death-defying expression?
"What do you think I want you to do?" Moon asked curiously.
"Ahh......h
“...... Go, arrange her, and help develop and improve the moon energy. ”
"Okay, young master. "This kind of big thing, Moon naturally only trusts a few people, and there are only a handful.
"Huh?" Emma visibly felt emotionally relaxed.
Moon looked her up and down with a smile, and said maliciously, "Don't say I'm not interested in you in that way, even if I have..." "Even if you do, I'm afraid I don't have that ability with your body structure. ”
Emma's fair skin was red and about to drip blood, biting her lip and following Luo Xia out of the conference room. Moon turned his gaze back to Xiaobai.
"Your Highness, I bought it back from you, and I will do whatever you ask. "Sometimes, Moon feels that although Xiaobai seems to be weak, he has a share of, well, how to say, heroic?
"Tell me about that werewolf warrior. ”
"Huh?"
"I'm not smart, but looking at your expression at that time, it seems like I knew something?"
"Your Highness, this is not something I deliberately concealed, it is, our Flame, no, to be precise, there is a story between our rabbit people, a bit like a beautiful fairy tale. So..."
"So you don't dare to say, hehe, it's okay, I should also learn about foreign cultures by the way. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. Xiaobai cleared his throat and told Moon the long-standing story of the rabbit people.
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a beautiful princess of the rabbit people, who, like most rabbit people, lived a life of light and light, and did not have any estrangement from everyone because of her identity, nor did she have any privileges.
One day, the princess, who had been working all day, sprained her foot on the way home, just as a handsome tiger prince passed by her. The prince's mount was a fierce tiger, and when he saw the weak rabbit princess on the side of the road, he couldn't help but want to attack her, but fortunately, the handsome prince even stopped the tiger and escorted the princess all the way home.
On the way, the princess was attracted by the prince's handsomeness and strength, and the prince was moved by the princess's simplicity and kindness. Unknowingly, the two fell in love.
Since the prince had left the castle to work outside, he could not stay with the princess, so they agreed that in the middle of the month in the next month, the prince would come again and marry the princess back to the castle.
However, when the Tiger Prince arrives at the Rabbit Clan a month later with his guards and dowry, he gets the bad news that the Rabbit Princess has been captured by the evil Wolf Lord!
The prince and his guards went through many dangers and obstacles, and finally came to the wolf lord's lair, only to find that the rabbit princess had been eaten by the evil wolf lord.
The enraged prince vows to break the wolf lord into pieces, and in the end the wolf lord is defeated by the prince, and the grief-stricken prince causes the sorcerer in the guard to curse the wolf lord for eternity.
Shortly after returning to the castle, the prince died in grief. And in that land, there is a werewolf undead hovering forever.
"Hmm... It's quite touching. Moon smacked his lips twice, then continued, "I see, by the way, why did you get made into slavery?
"Your Highness. Xiaobai's ears twitched, and he replied, "We were sold into slavery because we failed to pay our taxes on time and angered the lord. ”
"Oh......" Moon nodded, which seemed to be a common occurrence in all places, and continued, "What are the taxes you have to pay?"
"Scary turnips. ”
"Huh?"
"The name is Scary Radish, which is the root of a plant that is edible. ”
"Wait a minute, I remember, the minotaurs always seem to be patrolling your so-called outer borders, and they take good care of you, and your lord is not a minotaur?"
"Your Highness, no, we are a vassal clan and rely on the Minotaurs, but the lord is a tiger clan. ”
"Oh~~~ It's quite complicated. Moon smiled awkwardly and continued, "Stay, if you don't want to, I can send you back, I feel that Caesar is good to you." ”
"Your Highness, I won't go back. Xiaobai said timidly.
"Huh?"
"Your Highness, if we are sold as slaves, we will leave a record, even if I go back, I still can't change anything, I can't get rid of slavery, I can't get land, and in the end..."
"It's like... Hmm..."
"Your Highness, I beg you, let me stay and give me a stutter. I, I can do things, we rabbit people are good at planting, and I run fast! I have sensitive ears! I can help His Highness's troops scout intelligence, I..."
"Alright, stay and stay. Don't be so nervous. After all, in a sense, we are also comrades-in-arms?" Moon smiled, "Go back and let Luo Xia arrange something for you, stay here with peace of mind." It depends on the situation in the future, what do you think?"
"Yes, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness. ”
After letting Xiaobai go, Moon instructed Luo Xia, who came back, to arrange for people to focus on protecting Xiaobai, because he always felt that there were some things that Xiaobai needed to solve.
