Vendatier stared at Leon tightly, his brow furrowing more and more.

But she finally controlled her temper and said, "Lord Leon, if we lose our tradition and pride as elves, then we are no longer Noldor elves!" ”

That's great!

This was the response that Leon wanted, he was worried that these arrogant Noldor would ignore him, and deliberately used such fierce words just to get a response.

"What are your traditions? Don't forget, you used to live in the center of the continent, in the largest city, instead of hiding in the forest and trying to survive! ”

"What is your pride? It was a glorious civilization from ancient times that once ruled the entire continent! ”

"But what do you look like now? Even the Gatu and the Misty Mountain dare to attack you! Your traditions have long since changed, and your pride is only the remembrance of the past...... Are you really still Noldor Elves? ”

The lord was no longer smiling, his expression was serious and serious: "Think about it, if you keep treating humans as inferior creatures, then you will never be able to leave this forest - then, what will your traditions end up into?" What will pride become? You will only slowly become a wild tribe hidden in the woods, gradually dying out, and finally forgotten by the world......"

"Only by stepping out of the forest and returning to the sun, rebuilding the glorious elven kingdom in the heart of the earth, and using your rich knowledge to create more breathtaking miracles of craftsmanship, so that other races willingly recognize your great ......"

"Only that kind of race can be called noble elves!"

Every word of the lord seemed to be a criticism, but it was also like an encouragement.

But at the very least, being able to say such a thing would definitely mean that Leon had no ill intentions, and the elves would definitely listen to it, and they would listen very carefully.

Vendatier was silent.

The Lord had indeed deliberately belittled the Noldor Elves before.

His words sounded like deliberate criticism, but it was actually a valid psychological cue, and perhaps the Noldor Elf who heard them would be angry, but they would certainly care about the criticism very much, and thus care a lot about every word Leon said later.

Moreover, the more proud people are, the more they will care about such criticism.

Because these are objective facts, and they do not involve any racial discrimination or personal attacks, but only 'evaluations' from the neutral point of view of a third party.

But this kind of evaluation is actually unfair, because only mentioning the defects and not mentioning the advantages is deliberately belittling the other party.

This is a brainwashing method that is rarely mentioned, but is often seen in daily life - defective thought control.

That is, to use the criticism that the other party is particularly concerned about to induce the other party to act according to their own wishes.

Yes, what Leon wanted was to control a part of Noldor as a superior, instead of finding an ancestor for himself.

So, he doesn't treat the Noldor elves in the same way as making friends, and he doesn't have that much time to make friends with a race that has a lifespan of thousands of years - people are friends with each other for hundreds of years, how many years can you get along with them?

A human with a lifespan of only a few decades is just a momentary passer-by in the long years of the elves, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

In Li Ang's opinion, every adult Noldor is above his grandfather's generation, and if he wins favor in a conventional way, he can only get a group of old uncles who rely on the old and sell the old in the end, and they will not listen to his command.

What centenarian would be willing to obey the arrangement of a twenty-year-old hairy boy?

What's the use of putting in a lot of effort to win the favor of the other party, but not getting the Noldors to obey him?

The lord didn't care if the Noldor liked him or hated him, he cared if the skilled Noldor warriors could obey him, and whether the Noldor's enchanted equipment and elven horses could be used by him.

Moreover, it is difficult for him to form any real friendship in a short period of time - the hatred between races cannot be resolved by meeting and saying a few words, and the hostile Twilight Knight in the horse farm is the norm for the Noldors.

Leon may be able to gain some of the favor of the Noldor by constantly supporting the behavior of the Noldor, but this is only the goodwill, and the Noldor will neither be willing to sacrifice blood for humanity nor listen to the command of a junior.

In fact, humans are like animals with a lifespan of more than ten years to Noldor Elves - such as kittens and puppies.

No matter how much a person likes cats, at most they regard them as family and friends, but they will never die for cats......

The Noldos put themselves in a higher position than all the species in the world.

So, Leon wants to change the way.

If you want to be obedient, sometimes you don't need to be favored.

Moreover, after the other party has obeyed, it is actually much easier to brush up on favor with the superior status.

In fact, most of us must have experienced a situation where someone you don't know well suddenly makes some very unkind criticism of a flaw in something you care about in particular.

There are a lot of things you care about, such as your career, studies, hobbies, and so on.

The person criticizing you could be a new teacher or student, a new colleague (not necessarily a leader, or a peer or subordinate), or a new teammate on the field.

When this happens, if you're a proud person, your first reaction is often 'I'm going to protect myself,' and so you're angry – anger is actually a protective emotion that is largely out of the brain's control.

If it is a reckless person, the first reaction is 'whether he is right or not, anyway, Lao Tzu is unhappy, Lao Tzu will scare him' or directly beat him.

But as long as the other party says something that you care about in particular, you will definitely be affected because you are 'unwilling'.

If it's someone familiar, like a close friend, who says that, it doesn't matter, because you don't get angry. When you don't have the protective emotion of anger, you don't think it's a big deal and you don't care anymore.

It is precisely a relatively strange person that you will subconsciously fall into unwillingly complex emotions - because it is something or career that you care about.

No matter how open-minded a person is, subconsciously he will actually care about the evaluation of others, but some people will show it, and some people will not.

Because you know, what the other side is saying is actually an objective and neutral evaluation.

But this evaluation is deliberate and incomplete, it is a purely flawed evaluation that does not mention any merits - this evaluation is not good for you!

However, you can't hide your flaws, and it's hard to refute them on the spot, because what the other person is saying is all the truth.

Coupled with the fact that you are not familiar with the other person, you can't even change the topic and turn the embarrassment......

At times like this, your instinct will drive you to pay attention to every word that the person you don't know is saying.

Because when a person is criticized, the subconscious mind will drive you to 'find a hole in the other person's point of view and prove him wrong'!

But in fact, it's hard to find the other person's loopholes on the spot, because you're upset, you're going to be anxious, you're in a bad mood – it's hard for most people to stay calm and think when they're emotionally affected.

And you've unconsciously put your posture on an equal footing.

You will no longer ignore the other side, but will see the other side as an 'adversary' – this has in fact formed the basis for negotiation.

Even if you originally thought that the other person's identity could not be compared to yours, even if you did not want to talk to him in the first place.

What's more, you will deliberately hide your flaw or find a way to correct it...... But not to improve yourself, but to no longer be seen.

And at this time, if the other party uses the defects you just criticized to give you some positive incentives, this is actually the beginning of control.

Because you will feel that the other party understands you, and it is not malicious to slander, you will not be angry with the other party's 'look down' attitude, but you will consider the other person's words very seriously.

This is actually pulling your mindset and keeping you in a state of 'shallow anger' where you can understand what the other person is saying, but you also have complex thoughts that are difficult to fully think.

Then, the other party will definitely come up with a methodology.

This is a methodology that you will definitely pay attention to, and you will use a kind of 'scrutiny' to try to find the untenable part of the methodology - your subconscious mind is manipulating your behavior, and you will try this method and try to find the flaws of the other person.

Maybe you can finally find a loophole in the other person's methodology and use it as a medium to reopen yourself; Maybe you didn't find it, but in the end it was time that repaired your angry and unwilling mentality.

But whether you find it or not, your behavior has already begun to be controlled.

– because you'll try the method he proposes.

The other party's methodology is used to let you find loopholes, if you don't implement this method for a period of time, how will you know if there are loopholes?

Of course, the other party knows that you will be unhappy, and he knows that you may hate him, but the other party doesn't care about this.

Moreover, the other party does not care about your flaws.

What the other party cares about is actually asking you to act in the way he designed.

In fact, this is the fastest and most widely used psychological guidance method.

It is especially suitable for those who have just met but belong to the cooperative camp - supporting manufacturers and brand companies, new employees or new leaders taking office, brainwashing marketing......

This happens very often in real life.

This is also the simplest defective thinking control method of the operation process, but there are still very few people who can use it well.

Because most of the people who use this method do not understand the core of this control method - in order to achieve effective control, they need to finally propose a contradiction for this methodology, or a 'chance to release control'.

The vast majority of people who try to do defect control don't make it to the last step.

If you want to control others effectively, then the proposed methodology must be full of contradictions, and preferably there must be a 'loophole'.

A good methodology must have loopholes, just as those whom the king trusts must have a handle in the king's hands.

Because there are only two things that the people who are controlled are most concerned about, one is how to hide their own flaws, and the other is to find the loophole in your solution - this vulnerability will actually be 100% enforced.

So, design the methodology as a solution that is fraught with contradictions - design this vulnerability as the desired control goal.

The controller executes and finds the vulnerability, and the controller's purpose is achieved.

And if you don't enforce this loophole, you will never be able to prove that the controller is wrong, and you will always be restless and worried.

In this contradiction, almost no one can get rid of it, and the only way to get rid of control is to lie down completely - but that means that the person doesn't care about this defect anymore.

Everyone cares about their own flaws, the company boss cares about the company's flaws, and the leader of a group cares most about the flaws faced by the entire group.

Of course, Fergus's main concern is the survival of the race, and there are not many members of his Fenway family left, and he must care about the flaws that the Noldor race does have.

"Your Excellency Leon, you said before that you want to connect the interests of the human race with the elven race, how do you connect them?"

Fergusain didn't use the term 'child' again this time.

"I'll give you a hypothetical plan, Your Majesty. I can open my territory for your people to live in, and your people can trade Noldor goods for a large amount of daily necessities for the entire tribe. This will make my territory richer, and it will also make life better for the entire Noldor community. This is the first and easiest way to bundle interests, trade. ”

"If you work a little deeper, I will issue a decree to ensure that no one in my territory is treated equally, and that humans and Noldor elves are both subjects, as long as they obey the laws of my territory. My army is all from the people, and they will naturally protect the safety of all the people, as well as their families. In other words, my troops will naturally provide protection for the entire Noldor community, and if anyone enslaves the Noldor again, my troops will of course take the initiative to save the relatives of their comrades. Of course, this requires Noldor to also obey my conscription and military orders. ”

"If all goes well, then as my territory expands, the more places the Noldor can set foot, your family will prosper, and your people will be safer - and in this way, we will have more common goals and interests."

"In order to protect the interests of the Noldor, you can send some people to my territory, and I will make these people become lords, and let the Noldor Elves themselves manage the Noldor Elves living in my territory, which will also continue to maintain your cultural traditions."

"That's a reasonable assumption, isn't it? In fact, there is a decree of non-discrimination in my realm, and as you can see, Risadilan has been fighting alongside me; And I did lead my troops to help the Noldor repel the enemy, shedding blood and dying for it, and we didn't complain. ”

Leon gave his plan, one that seemed normal and workable......

It's just that there is a point that is easy to see.

Sure enough, Vendatier immediately began to retort: "How can we trust you? Humans are too fickle and are constantly waging war! I think you just want my people to help you fight! ”

This is a loophole on the surface - Leon really wants Noldor to fight for him, and from this point of view, it will seem that Leon's starting point for this plan is very suspicious.

But Leon felt that Vendatil was really too cooperative, and this plan was originally intended to be suspicious......

"You don't need to trust me, you can coerce me...... Your name is Vendatier, right? I believe that with your skills, I can't do more than three moves under you...... And you're going to be suspicious of me all the time, right? Then, I suggest that you follow me to my realm and become lord of the Noldors. If I break my promise, either I'm going to send the Noldors to death, or I'm not well-intentioned...... Anyway, as long as I'm cheating on the Noldor elves, you're going to kill me with your own hands! You should be able to rest assured, right? ”

The lord's smile deepened, and he even asked Vendatil, "If I'm not mistaken, Risadilan is probably your student too, right?" ”

In fact, it's obvious - Rissadillan sees Vendatier what a mouse sees a cat, and it seems that he is more respectful to Vendatier than he is to the Elven King.

Leon was too familiar with this situation, and if he had met the teacher who had been the strictest to him back then, he would probably be like this......

Vendatil glared at Risadillan, and then at Leon's eyes, which were extremely sharp.

But she no longer refutes, she also feels that there is nothing wrong with Li Ang's statement, if she is 'coercing' Li Ang, then what are you afraid of?

In fact, this is the contradiction left by the lord - if Vendatier and his people stay in Leon's territory, then the cooperation between the two sides has been formed according to Leon's plan.

But if not, how can the problem be solved?

And Vendatier was indeed able to keep an eye on this most suspicious point.

A simple thought control was completed, and the elves' thoughts and actions were led to "how to ensure Leon's reliability".

However, if you want to confirm this, you can only follow Leon's actions first......

"Your Excellency, although your words may sound rude, I admit that you have a point, and I would like to believe that you have good intentions. But I can't trust many more humans, including your people...... So I have to think about it. But one thing you're right about is that we really should get out of the forest......"

Feldgasan's temperament was decidedly gentler, calmer, and less affected.

But in fact, his mind was also directed in the direction that Leon wanted - as long as the Noldors were going to get out of the forest, they could only settle in Leon's territory, and nothing else.

As long as the Noldors live in Leon's territory, the lord will have achieved his goal......

"Of course, Your Majesty, I am only giving my advice. Look at what's happening, your people have been captured, and Lady Vendatier will probably have to leave the forest with her troops to pursue the enemy. In that case, I will lead my troops to fight alongside Vendatil to save your people. This will not only prove the kindness of my men to the Noldor Elves, but also allow Lady Vendatier to observe the outside world and see how she can lead her people out of the forest......"

Leon volunteered to take on the job of 'saving', and Vendatil seemed to be unable to escape the fate of being abducted.

Vendatil was a little puzzled: "Do you know where the enemy is?" ”

Leon looked at Vendatil and smiled, "I don't know, but I can at least guess where the enemy will take those girl rangers after they capture them......"
