Chapter 141: Rite of Passage
The yard manager and the errant driver on the side were still arguing.
The administrator took out a small horn and yelled at the driver: "This regulation has been reviewed by the company's upper management, I will do things according to the rules, what's wrong!" β
Juan was not interested in caring about them anymore.
Compared with the financial difficulties of individual people, it is still the coming-of-age ceremony of Zerella that is more important.
After all, Juan had promised Zereira that if Zerela died in the lion's mouth, the FΓΌhrer's face would be gone.
Juan hurried back to the building and found Morgan.
"Morgan, your sperm IQ has gone to zero, right? That's the Golden Lion! You asked Zerela to hunt the golden lion, didn't you tell her to die! β
"I've hunted lions, it's not very difficult."
"That's different! When you hunt lions, the planet's magic power is almost exhausted, and all the monsters are no different from ordinary animals.
"But now the planet has made up for it!
"You've also seen the Warcraft frenzy some time ago, that golden lion, the energy ray that sprayed more than three hundred meters away, almost messed up my hairstyle!
"Do you think this kind of magical beast that is strong in both long-range attack and melee combat can be dealt with by Zerela?!"
"I'll watch from the sidelines, as long as I can get closer to twenty meters, Zerela's marksmanship is still okay."
"Twenty meters?!"
"Yes, last time Zerella killed a giraffe at a distance of twenty meters."
"I'll go, who can't hit a giraffe at this distance?"
"You, you won't be able to hit."
"Does it make sense? Does uncovering my old scars increase Zarella's chances of survival? β
"I'll protect her."
"Morgan, you don't realize the seriousness of the matter!
"Zereira is not an ordinary person, she is the princess of the Draenei Empire!"
"I know ......"
"You don't know! She is the link that maintains the relationship between the planet Delaney and the military department, and she is a hostage that the military department cannot kill or release! β
"I know that, too, but what does the military department and the planet Draenei have to do with us? We don't have to listen to them. β
"But have you ever thought that if Zerella dies on the planet Beautiful, the military will definitely push us out as scapegoats to appease the anger of the Draenei.
"Do you think with our strength, can we carry the military headquarters or the planet Draenei? They pluck a hair on any leg and are thicker than our waists! β
"Zereela won't die, I promise with my life."
"You're going to die! Your guarantee is nothing! β
"I am the representative of humanity, the speaker of the planet."
"You're a piece of in their eyes!"
"Then add you, the head of a planet."
"That's two pieces of!"
After a moment of silence, Morgan said, "This hunt is important to Zerela, otherwise, she could have lived in fear for the rest of her life."
"Can you bear to see her live in fear for the rest of her life?"
"What does that have to do with me? Why should I bet on the fate of the entire planet for her alone? β
"Juan, you're so cold-blooded."
"I'm cold-blooded? I'm responsible!
"I'm not like you, Morgan, you see a person as more important than the whole world!
"And I, I care about the bright future of all living things on the beautiful planet!"
"All you care about is yourself! You're a selfish person to the extreme! β
Juan's eyes widened in surprise: "Morgan, that's how you see me?"
"Don't you see how much I've done for the brave new world, and how much effort I've put into it for the people on this planet?"
"You've done a lot of things, but you're all starting for yourself!"
"Yes, I admit it, I do things for myself, but so what?
"Everyone is selfish, and so are you!
"You are not a saint, how can you ask someone else to be a saint?
"It makes no sense to look at a person's actions from a starting point.
"As long as what I do is good for the brave new world, it's right;
"And you, Morgan, are doing something that is detrimental to the brave new world, so it's wrong!"
After a long silence, Morgan said, "I can't tell you the truth, you read more than I do."
"But this hunt is really important for Zerella!"
"Why are you so stubborn?"
Morgan said goodbye: "Anyway, I must help Zerella complete this coming-of-age ceremony." β
Juan sighed, neither Morgan nor Zerella wanted to lose.
Therefore, he can only compromise.
"Well, I promised Zereira to ensure her safety, so, I will take the Dragonman Self-Defense Force to her bar mitzvah."
"It's okay to participate, but Zerella has to finish the hunt."
"Can't anyone help?"
"You can help, but the first shot has to be fired first by Zerella."
"Then I'll let the Self-Defense Forces capture a golden lion alive and tie it to the shelf and let her shoot it, okay?"
"Juan, hunting the golden lion is not an end, just a means."
"Okay, then I can find a way to weaken the strength of the Golden Lion and let it die, okay?"
Even though there was no one around, Morgan leaned into Juan's ear and whispered, "Just keep Zerella from seeing." β
Juan lowered his voice and asked, "Really?" β
Morgan nodded and whispered, "Actually, I've been planning this thing all along. β
"I mean, why have you been so busy lately?"
"yes, or do you think I'd let Zerella just take on a golden lion like that?"
"Haha, with you, how are you preparing?"
"In the beginning, we were still looking for the right lion.
"My goal is to find a lion who has been driven out of the pack, preferably old and weak and injured."
"Is it possible?"
"Probably, it's breeding season, and the male lion who has failed to compete for mates is so miserable."
"Okay, then I'll send someone to help you."
"It's great, but don't get too many people involved, Zereela is very smart, and she'll see through it if she's too crowded."
Juan smiled and shook Morgan's hand, agreeing.
Then he made a request: "You have to help me with the affairs of the parliament first, at least to put society on the right track." β
"What do you want me to do?"
"Set up an ad hoc committee to address some common business and legal issues."
"Okay, I'll go and organize."
Juan breathed a sigh of relief, there was someone in charge, and he didn't need to worry about those trivial things.
Then he sent a message to the orc Thrall, asking him to find a few orcs who were familiar with the steppe and ride a wolf to find the lone lion.
Thrall replied: "FΓΌhrer, this matter is a bit troublesome, the lions in the breeding season will take the initiative to attack the wolves, you have to give me a reason, otherwise it will be difficult for me to convince the orcs to do such a dangerous thing." β
Juan didn't say why, he chose to give money, beautiful coins, he has a lot of this thing, as long as it is controlled and does not cause inflation.
The money is in place, who needs a reason.
Thrall replied: "The Fenrir mercenary group has accepted the commission. β
Juan asked curiously, "When did there be a mercenary group on our planet?" β
Sal replied: "Recently formed, six militant retired wolf cavalrymen, unwilling to work, formed this private security company in partnership, usually taking on some escort tasks, helping transport convoys drive out wild beasts along the way. β
Juan thought, it seems that private ownership can really stimulate the potential of humans, no, all walks of life have developed.
