Chapter 64: Catherine's Means

"Although I don't have that many data samples as a basis to infer the thoughts and purposes of some people from their behaviors like you do, I have intuition and experience, and in many areas, especially for psychological judgments, these two things are actually more accurate and efficient than rigid comparative sample analysis. Pannis took off the ivory comb on the girl's head, picked up her hair and combed it little by little: "It is through intuition and experience that I have judged that what you just said is not just a simple question, and even in the choice of timing, it is also deliberate, as for the purpose, it is to create the strange atmosphere just now, am I right?" ”

"Drop. Eva was still lying on Pannis's lap, but fell into silence, Pannis's words did not make her make any expression, of course, it seemed that the girl could not make any other expressions, both eyes also looked at Pannis, as if she did not understand what he was saying, silent for a while, the girl's body suddenly made a soft sound like a mechanical prompt, and then said in an undulating tone: " The City of Knowledge was a very large city, and at its peak the population of the city could be as high as 1.5 million, and even in ordinary times, the number of permanent residents exceeded ......"

"Hey, you're using this method again, deliberately pretending not to hear what I mean, and why are you suddenly using the introduction of the City of Knowledge to cover it up, I obviously know better about this place than you. Pannis rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You idiot haven't done much to me since you left the Goblin National Research Center, I thought you had forgotten about it, but you just didn't find a chance before?

The girl's eyes moved slightly, but they still remained in their original state, and their emotionless gaze met Pannis, and after a moment of silence again, she said: "Today's temperature is thirty-three degrees, there may be light rain at night, and the evening is not suitable for outdoor activities, let alone an open-air dance party or similar party, if ......"

"Stop, stop, I see. Pannis said helplessly: "As always, I won't ask, you guy, obviously out of the mechanical system, still deliberately ignore my problem as before, it's really annoying." ”

The girl was obviously satisfied with the drop of Pannis's headache, although her expression and movements remained the same, and her tone was as undulating as before, but there was a faint smile in her blue pupils. Pannis poked the girl's smooth and crystalline face indignantly, and said angrily: "Actually, I know without your answer, you did it on purpose, it must be true, you just did it because you were in a hurry to see our performance, so you wanted to push Catherine behind her back and create some opportunities for her, right?" ”

This time, although Pannis also asked the question, Eva did not change the subject as she did the previous two times, although she did not give any reply, but it can be seen from her different performances that the girl obviously acquiesced to Pannis's judgment.

"You're underestimating Catherine. Pannis sighed and said softly: "Although she is straightforward and kind, but after all, she is from a great noble family in the Middle Ages of the Falar Empire, when she really wants something, does she need others to create opportunities for her? Do you think she's not making any moves? Do you think she's just passively waiting? ”

"What do you mean?" Eva finally spoke, puzzled, "I didn't find out what she did?"

"To achieve one's own goals in a way that others can see, is only the lowest means, for the great nobles, it is really not elegant enough, it will be ridiculed by other nobles, they think that the best means is to let people not see what they have done, but they can achieve their goals, just like the spring wind, obviously not seeing the body, but can spread vitality to all corners of the Yala continent. Pannis withdrew her hand from combing Eva's hair, rubbed her chin, and said with an appreciative expression, "Do you think she didn't do anything?" She knew in her heart that the three of them were also smart people, and they would not force me to express their position directly, but would only change my mind little by little, and it would be difficult for me to refuse their request for such a gradual approach, so she didn't have to worry about the three of them being hurt. ”

"Well, that's how I judged. Eva straightened up and sat cross-legged in front of Pannis: "So I want to push her." ”

But that's how she fought for it. Pannis shook his head and said: "Lina's every action is actually paving the way for her, and the more successful Lina's actions are, the more sure she is of achieving her goals." Let's put it this way, if she had invited me to accompany her to Snape's banquet on the day she had just returned, I would have probably refused, but after what had happened in the past few days, it would have been difficult for me to refuse if she had invited me again. ”

"Not very understanding. Eva shook her head and said, "Are you saying that Catherine used the three of Lina and Vivien to achieve her own ends?"

"No, it's not exploitation. Pannis shook his head and said, "I don't know if there is a similar existence of the Great Nobles in the Goblin Empire in your records, and I don't know what the behavior of the Goblins is, but for the Great Nobles of the Fourth Age, most of their behaviors are unexpected. In the imagination of many people, the nobles are always unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals, and they will step on everything around them to compete for interests...... They were all dead. The real aristocratic means always look very elegant, and their behavior can often make the people around them gain benefits, so that everyone around them can achieve their own goals, and the process of others achieving their own goals can just send the big nobles to their goals. As a result, everyone is very happy, everyone loves them, and only in this way can those noble families go long. Catherine herself may not be very aware of these things, but the education she received since childhood made her instinctively make these plans that were never even within her consideration. That's why I said, if you want to push her, it's not really necessary. ”

"Okay, I kind of get it. Eva nodded, "It's really not necessary. ”

"And don't you find a problem?" said Pennys, patting the girl on the head, "Your idea seems to be a little different from what you used to be." (To be continued.) )
