The antagonism of ways of thinking, which stems from class origin, continued to create friction of all kinds in the next few days.

Although it is usually initiated by a younger generation of scholars, led by Lisa, it is ironically that they are the ones who react the most to the quarrels. Henry, Mira, Caleva, and Lulu didn't really care, as they had been through more, so the verbal conflict didn't really cause a psychological swing.

After the sage took the opportunity to go out and explain to the three of them the little calculations that Lisa's mentor Loran was doing, based on this same understanding, they chose the best way to deal with this kind of behavior - ignorance.

No matter how good Lisa and the other young scholars were at the Lamanites: using harsh words to mock, they always had a dead end.

Arrogant scholars cannot support themselves.

All the work in the longhouse needs to be handled by the four sages, and if they are gone, they will be in a ridiculous dilemma where no one cuts the firewood and no one cooks the food. And even if they want to get out of here, these precious geniuses who think that they don't need to learn anything but their own majors can't even discern their direction in the wilderness.

In other words, Loraine's attempt to psychologically manipulate the person who solves the contradiction by creating the contradiction and becoming the one who solves the contradiction himself is actually a sword that has gone off the rails.

He had to master a degree to avoid letting these disciples who he used as pawns make too much trouble, and the sage and his party directly threw themselves away.

After dissecting the matter, Galeva first frowned and asked bluntly, "Then why don't you tell us well?"

As he spoke, it was evident that the young man, who was naturally dull, had not yet fully understood what the sage had said. But the sentence he asked was obviously in line with normal logic—from the perspective of ordinary people: since Henry and others were responsible for guards, guides, food supplies, and almost all the work of subsistence, shouldn't they cherish the relationship between the two more and be careful to avoid conflicts?

But this kind of thing is obviously asked because of the narrow-minded social relationship of Galeva, who was born in a small town, and does not know enough depth about the lack of contact with people from high society.

The answer to this question depends on the way of thinking and the environment in which they were raised, but for the rest of the people who have more contact with the aristocracy, it is actually possible to understand the reason by a little empathy.

"Because in their eyes, it's a matter of course. The person who spoke was not Henry or Mira, but Lulu: "Others should pay what they deserve, at most praise you with words." ”

She seemed to have experienced something to say such a thing, after all, Crescent Island is a very large place, and it is rare for Yi people to speak the mainstream social language so young.

But the Aboriginal girl wasn't the type to babble a lot, and she fell silent again. The sage paused after translating, and continued: "That's probably the reason, in the final analysis, it's just two words. ”

"Contempt. ”

"Although you can choose a more secure way to avoid conflict, but because of your identity, you think that you are far superior to lowly mercenaries in terms of intelligence, social status and seniority, so why should you be sincere in your relationship. Henry, the lowly mercenary, said this, and Mira gave him a blank look.

This contempt makes them more inclined to choose this kind of superior manipulation over equal communication, which makes them feel good about themselves, that everything is under control, and fuels the vanity of being a Lamanite. ”

"Actually, it's like that for the whole of Padrosi. The sage shrugged his shoulders: "Padrosi's round head and Suomir's square head, although neither is a compliment, but if you want to choose a reliable companion, most people will still choose a Suomir with a tendon." ”

"Padrossi people can be very enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact they are round and always keep a distance from you. You can't tell if they mean it or if the smile is all fake, if you are gullible, you will be stabbed in the back. ”

"They actually look down on everything, and they interfere in the affairs of the Moon Country, which also accounts for part of the reason. ”

"Crescent Island is the legendary golden land of the White Church, and such a lofty status and yearning for it has caused the Lamanites, who have long prided themselves on their culture on the Rigal continent, to have a strange feeling when they encounter the 4,000-year-old stable Moon Country. ”

"On the one hand, the people of Rigal do have a lot to be proud of. On the other hand, the existence of a civilization that has no connection with the White Church but is so stable and long-lasting has also made them more or less shaken, and even inferior. ”

Because of the inferiority complex of civilization, they have increasingly emphasized national pride. The complex mix of the two made their approach more extreme and radical, and the rise of the merchant class in the past two hundred years had weakened the power of the aristocracy, and the seemingly prosperous Padrosi was in a very delicate situation, both externally and internally. ”

"Rushing, pretentious, and in control?" said Mira, who accurately summed up the personality traits of these staples of Padrosi's society, and Galeva next to her nodded in agreement.

From the big picture to the small personal level, the Padrosi people tend to reveal a similar tendency to be very controlling in their interactions with others.

If it only goes so far, it is actually only related to the way of thinking caused by class origin. Although it is indeed a little uncomfortable and annoying, it is just some minor troubles and psychological dissatisfaction.

But if you consider the overall situation in the entire Crescent Continent at the moment, and then consider the purpose of Luo Lan's group suddenly choosing to get off the ship.

His manipulation of people's hearts has become no easier little thing that can smile and tell himself to be generous and then it will be fine.

The higher-ups of the Moonland are now unwelcoming to foreigners, but it's not even the worst if it's just not welcome. Even the missionaries were not completely wiped out—this was their home turf, and if they really wanted to kill them completely, the missionaries would not have a chance to escape.

They still retain their kindness, but only if you don't actively violate their bottom line.

And Loraine's plan is obviously to do this kind of thing that shouldn't be done.

Henry would not try to persuade him, and not even the four people present would come up with the idea. First, this kind of speech is not the type of thing that can be said like asking, "Have you had lunch?" and second, with the strong self-esteem of this scholar's mentor and his contempt for their group, he is afraid that he will explode on the spot.

The price of the Lamanites' arrogance, they had already seen on the way over, and the bow of the "Conqueror", which had been adrift for more than a hundred years, became a landmark that has not been destroyed to this day. However, for a few of them who are outsiders, they may think it is a warning and have some feelings, but in the eyes of Luo Lan and others, it is a sign of the empire's unfinished hegemony, but it has become an encouragement.

They came here at the worst possible time, and they were with the worst of them.

The rebellion instigated by the Lamanites a few months ago was trampled by the Moon Country, and now the arrival of Loran and the others is thinking about something, and wants to pull Henry and others into their camp.

Even if he fails, there will probably be someone who will continue to do it in the future.

This is the case with human beings, especially the Lamanites.

They were able to leave their footprints throughout the Rigal continent because of this perseverance. This is the strength of this people, but it is also their disadvantage. Because sometimes going ahead can bring more trouble than reward - but all in all, getting caught up in these guys' conflict with the Moon Nation can be the worst of things.

The group had to get out as soon as possible, and after the sage had explained everything, they reached such a consensus.

But this kind of thing can also cause trouble when you say it directly. Their aim was to keep a low profile and not get involved in the fight, and if Lorraine realized that they had seen through his plans, the Lamanites' cautious personality and their self-esteem and contempt for Henry and the others would definitely try to find fault later.

The White Church and the Lamanite merchants have been doing business with the Crescent for more than a hundred years, and although the proportion gap is huge, it is undeniable that they are another large-scale force on the Crescent continent outside of the Moon Country.

It may be very relieving to tell him the trick he fought directly in front of Luo Lan, and it may be very relieving to see his face blue and white with anger, but being held by him or regarded as a major opponent is contrary to the goal of keeping a low profile and not getting involved in the fight.

So they need an opportunity, they need to make the whole thing seem like a matter of course.

And this opportunity did not come too late.

Three days later, it was exactly the morning of the week when he arrived at the Yiren camp.

The sound of the quarrel came from the doorway of the longhouse, and it was clearly audible through the walls, but if you listened closely, you could tell that it was a person yelling—the freckled Miss Scholar pointed at Mira and shouted, "Say, what's the matter with that brute!?"

She shouted loudly in Lamani, her tone filled with anger - for days Henry and the others had been refusing any request from Lisa, such as bathing, on the grounds that she was not enough, and the resentment she had accumulated had finally reached a peak, and the incident had occurred.

The confident Luo Lan misexpected a detail, making his copy of the helpless appearance that should have been just performed for the sages and others to see, but at this moment it became a restraining element.

He was half a beat slower, still hesitating to come up and stop Lisa.

The wayward Lisa became a double-edged sword for her mentor, who essentially acquiesced in her trouble, and used her to create a first cause for conflict, so that the young scholars led by her became comfortable venting all their grievances through complaining and ridicule—and this incident is the culmination of all kinds of friction over the years.

The sage and others ignored their sarcastic words, so that these young scholars did not gain the sense of victory over each other. In addition, the living environment has not improved, and the enjoyment they want has not been obtained, and even Henry and the others will send a person to guard the firewood and food every time they leave, resulting in them not even being able to open a small stove, and resentment accumulates rapidly in three days.

They think they have to do something about it, not just words.

But they didn't dare to go directly to Henry and Mira's stubble, so they chose the little unicorn to vent their dissatisfaction. Despite the fact that the pretty little ones are holy beasts in the minds of the White Church believers, these young scholars have always been able to convince themselves that "mixing with them is probably a fake".

At Lisa's instigation, two young men slowly approached with a wooden broom for snow plowing, trying to beat the little unicorn and causing bruises, venting their frustration in this sneaky way, and they even devised a narrative to say that the little unicorn fell down on his own.

But they didn't expect that the clever little guy had already realized the wrongs of these people, and it raised its horse's hooves and kicked the two young scholars into the air the moment they approached with brooms.

The loud noise alarmed everyone, including the sages and others who were working outside. In front of the crowd of onlookers, Lisa and the other young scholars reacted quickly and took the broom away, and went straight to play the victims, saying that they had been kicked by the little unicorn for no reason.

"Isn't that serious?" Faced with Lisa's loud accusation, Miss Luo'an was full of indifference.

"It's not serious?!Look at his face!" Lisa yelled almost like a shrew, pointing behind her, crouching on the ground and covering her face with tears in her eyes, "oops, oops" a young scholar who kept screaming, another person was kicked and there was nothing wrong with his body in thick clothes, and this person was too eager to try to vent his frustration with the beating of the little unicorn, so he got too close and was kicked in the face, and half of his face was swollen at the moment.

"Oh, I'll see. The girl stepped forward, then pulled the other man's hand away, and pinched his cheek again, causing the man to open his mouth.

"I didn't even lose my teeth, I just had a bruise. ”

"That's it?!" Lisa shook her hands in disbelief, "What kind of holy spirit beast is this, it's just a stupid beast." She continued to shout, and the words made the Loan girl's brow furrow tighter and tighter.

"It is said that the livestock follows the master. Lisa continued to sneer, a face similar to the one she had woken up Mira with fear on her face half a month earlier. The girl looked at her coldly, while Henry took a step forward.

"It's a really minor injury. ”

"What do you say, are your eyes not-"

"This is—" "Boom—" The sage stepped onto the wooden floor, looking down condescendingly at the scholars—his expression suddenly became cold in Lisa's pupils, and a myriad of caustic and mocking words were about to spit out, but they stuck there like a fishbone.

"It's a very minor injury, and it's easy for a horse of this little guy's stature to kick a man's ribs or break his head. ”

"It has mastered a degree, has not exceeded this line, and is even smarter than some. You say that this can't be considered a spirit animal, what can it be?" Henry opened his mouth to say this, and this sentence made the scholar who was holding her breath in her heart feel endless courage somewhere: "What did you say?"

"Heh, a mercenary still puts on a very cultured appearance and learns to mock, huh?"

"Aren't you just collecting money to do things, I know, you are very dissatisfied with what we don't do, but this is the difference in origin, if you want to blame your parents, blame your parents!" she scolded: "Can you blame us for not having your own parents who didn't give birth to you in an upper-class family?"

"After all, don't you all deserve to do this? Why do we have to work when we pay for it? ”

"Huh, you say. She shouted loudly, and the other young scholars echoed, and for a moment the whole longroom was filled with only their voices.

Henry didn't say anything more, and neither did Mira.

Lisa felt that she had finally won the first real quarrel, which made the other party speechless, and her eyebrows raised on her freckled face, and she was about to open her mouth to take advantage of the victory and say something sarcastic to ensure her victory, but suddenly saw Henry take out the money she had advanced from her backpack and throw it on the floor in front of her.

"Bang-" The money bag fell to the ground, and the square currency of the Moon Country slid out of it.

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and the air became quiet.

Only the bonfire was still burning, and no one spoke.

"Y-you-" Lisa opened her mouth, then said nothing.

Loraine froze in place, he hadn't thought things would deteriorate so quickly. Just when he hesitated if he suddenly reprimanded him very harshly, whether it would seem that the role change was too abrupt and difficult to convince Henry and the others, the situation developed in an irreversible direction.

"The money has been returned to you, since it is so incompatible, please let the distinguished scholars and adults fend for themselves. ”

"I'll leave some for you to eat. As for the missionaries, given the good impressions, if you want to move forward together, let them follow. ”

Leaving such words, in just a few minutes, Henry and the others packed all their supplies that were not very much, and then walked to the door.

"No, how—" Lisa was still in a daze, and the scholar who had been clutching her cheeks and screaming "oops" seemed to have forgotten the pain, just looking at Mira's back as she untied the reins and pulled the little unicorn out of the longhouse, stunned and speechless.

"Longhouse, are they okay to stay?" the Luoan girl who walked out of the door asked Lulu in a somewhat stiff local language, and the aboriginal girl shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "Even if it burns down, just rebuild it." ”

"When a person lives, everything is still there. She said this, then turned to look at the road where the snow had melted quite a bit.

Several missionaries inside the longhouse followed after Age's persuasion, and the group of eight quickly distanced themselves from the longhouse.

“....... They're really gone, how can they really be gone!"

"Why did it turn out like this?"

"What to do, what are we going to do next, who knows where to go!"

"Hey, Lisa, you're all about it, what are you going to do now? ”

The young scholars, who had been throwing tantrums before, finally began to feel uneasy, and Lisa looked back at the empty longhouse as she looked in the direction they had left.

"I—How did I know things would turn out like this? ”

"Shall I just say a few words to them, as for that? On my side, I've been on land for so many days, and I have fuel and fresh water, and I won't be allowed to take a bath, and the food is so unpalatable, ah, now I'm left with those unpalatable smoked fish and dry bear meat, and I have to chop wood or something, teacher, I'm good-"

- She is still willful, muttering and complaining while turning her head, at least in this regard, this character is not the acting skills that cooperate with her mentor, but the willfulness that would have been indulged in the past is not smiling at this moment.

"Smack!!" a crisp slap sounded, and all the young people stopped chirping for a moment like birds frightened by an eagle, and the freckled Miss Scholar was stunned.

"Teacher?" she was frightened, and she no longer had that unforgiving look.

"Stupid woman, I shouldn't have brought you in the first place. The thin middle-aged scholar tutor had a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and ran to the door, looking at the direction in which the group was leaving.

"I know that bringing a woman is only a bad thing. ”
