Wolf King

Chapter 115 Adventurer's Temperament

As a Chinese who enjoyed the dividends of collectivism in his previous life, Xiao Yun is naturally an advocate and defender of collectivism.

Of course, the so-called human thoughts also have stages. Before the spirit matured, Xiao Yun, who was in the rebellious period, also had such a period of "narrow individual freedom"... hated the rigid and numb society, hated the restraint of the human form Class groups, schools, collectives, social groups, think that collectivism is an extreme cult that oppresses individual freedom, it is the tyranny of the majority, etc... People, who doesn’t have a time to indulge idiots, cough cough.

When Xiao Yun passed the age of 25 and realized that he was actually not the "very few" in the crowd, but the "majority" in the crowd, he finally woke up from the long and stupid adolescence, and found that he was actually a group of people. The super bastard who scolded the mother of collectivism from the bowl of the bonus of socialism...

This is not Xiao Yun's fault alone, but a common fault of most people.Standing in the lower reaches of history and looking back, people will more or less have a kind of arrogance that cannot be counted, and feel that the person who reads the history books has the qualifications to scold Fang Qiu for pointing out the country, and puts himself at the top of the pyramid among the crowd for no reason. The division among elites... This is really too much thinking. Most people are just ordinary people. If you go to the Republic of China, you can't become a master. one of the...

Those who feel disgusted at the mention of collectivism and feel that their freedom has been oppressed actually hate not collectivism, but themselves who are not glorious enough in the crowd.I can't accept that I'm just a mediocre member of the group, I don't know my talents, I don't know how much I have, so I half-understand liberalism to vent my "unrecognized talents" "Depressed—this is really thinking too much, the vast majority of people actually want to be oppressed by collectivism, and they are not qualified. , a kind of ideological theory of national and national interests is a social viewpoint that emphasizes the interdependence of each individual's personal interests and collective interests. Whoever feels that his personal interests and collective interests conflict to the point of irreconcilability, then he must at least have the kind of Jack Ma. The size of personal wealth and the height of society, last but not least, must be at the level of the CEO of Gome before being arrested...

You are the top elite in the crowd who can’t hide your anger. Your ability is beyond the average line of most people. You think you are qualified to demand privilege and specialization in the group. You I don’t want your personal interests and collective interests to be interdependent. Although this kind of thinking is selfish, it is not incomprehensible; but the very cruel reality is that many people who follow the trend and cry for "tyranny of the majority" are actually just like Xiao Yun. A bowl of collectivist dividends... ahem.

The history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries has proved without exception that any historical progress of social productivity comes from the emancipation of the mind and the improvement of ideological understanding. This is true for the nation and the individual. With his stupid youth, Xiao Yun's life will be much smoother if he continues to walk on the road of life. At least he knows that he doesn't have to put his energy on unnecessary "incompetent rage", and he knows that he can eat a few bowls of rice.

When he saw a young man still in his idiot adolescence, he would smile with that benevolent smile one would expect from someone who had been there before, just as he looked at Prince Carlisle now.

His Royal Highness can be regarded as an elite among the crowd, with an online IQ. When he heard the concept of collectivism from Xiao Yun, he was able to quickly understand the conflict between the principles of collectivism and personal interests. Discover the destructive power of collectivism, and also discover the threat of collectivism compared to top elites like him.

Carlisle was silent for too long, Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, and began to slowly rotate the bottle cap in his hand, this dose of medicine seemed a little too much?

From the standpoint of a profitable ruler under the feudal power system, Carlisle must have a natural aversion to collectivism. For a while, Carlisle dared not accept the sharp knife that Xiao Yun handed him!

The hands on his knees unconsciously clenched into fists, Carlisle struggled a few times, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher...I..."

Xiao Yun smiled understandingly. If the ruler wants to use the will of collectivism as a ruling tool, then the first person this knife cuts at must be the ruler himself. This murderous knife is so terrifying: "Don't be too Nervous, it is not a matter of a day or two for the will of the collective to be strong to this point, you have not yet won the approval of so many people and let your will be accepted by the collective, it is too early to be afraid of this or that.”

Carlisle could only smile wryly: "Teacher... Before you, no one told me that leading the country is such a difficult thing."

Xiao Yun chuckled: "Even if you are an ordinary person, following the crowd is much easier than controlling your own destiny. If you live an extra day, you will say thank you to Heavenly Father. When you die, you will treat it as a trick of fate. Anyway, it is not your own. Pot, it's all the world's fault."

Carlisle's face turned red all of a sudden, and he waved his hands quickly: "I didn't mean that."

Xiao Yun changed his tone: "You are a very energetic young man. Two years ago, you knew nothing about the road ahead, so you bravely stepped into the depths of the grassland to find a way out for the country and yourself. I have always I appreciate your courage."

Carlisle said embarrassingly: "At that time, I never thought that saving the country would be such a difficult thing."

"Yes, you just want to be a hero sought after by little girls, I can understand." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "People are always overly optimistic and blindly confident in fields that they don't understand. You didn't take it seriously when I said that , do you believe it now?"

Carlisle was so embarrassed that even he couldn't stand being teased like this, his face was flushed and he couldn't speak.

"Okay, relax, Carlisle, the truth is there, it's not that we don't know it, it doesn't exist, you don't dare to use too sharp a knife now, I can understand that the domestic contradictions in St. Bridge are not yet sharp enough For this step, you still have time to be a student for a few more years." Xiao Yun didn't intend to force Carlisle to make a choice immediately, he just took this opportunity to let Carlisle know that there is still a weapon of collectivist will that can be used, " At this stage, what you have to deal with is the external enemy Lamia, and external enemies are always easier to deal with than internal troubles disguised as your own people. The simple defense of the home and the country can unite the collective..."

Carlisle listened carefully while nodding his head, while sighing inwardly...Only Mr. Ayun can describe the powerful external enemies so lightly, and he doesn't know when he will learn such courage and strength.

Xiao Yun was very busy. After finishing Anthony's affairs, he only had one night's rest before rushing back. The next day, Tim who got up early in the morning and rushed over didn't even have time to meet him.

"Has Teacher Ayun left?" Tim was indescribably disappointed. After he found out that it took only one night, Carlisle was full of energy and fighting spirit. He was not panicked by murdering Anthony at all, and his jaw almost dropped in shock. "Carlisle, you..."

"how?"

"Uh...it's okay." Tim swallowed, "Did Teacher Ayun give any advice on how to deal with it after returning to China?"

"Oh, this." Carlisle seemed to have just remembered that he murdered his eldest brother yesterday, "Father will be very sad, Anthony died for no reason. I will take responsibility, and I will take over the two princesses when I return home Education, let them also participate in the maritime trade business, as the princesses of Ferdinand's family, they should learn how to contribute to the country, and it is too wasteful to only let them prepare for marriage in the palace."

"what?!"

"This is Teacher Ayun's suggestion. In order to let my father get out of the shadow of Anthony's murder as soon as possible, I should be more concerned about my sisters and let my father know where the family relationship of Ferdinand's family lies." Prince Carlisle nodded approvingly.

Tim: "..."

"Okay Tim, it's time to get busy. This time, you and Darren will still send the spices to the Forest of Elves. Is there a problem?"

"No……"

"Then go and see how the cargo is loaded, by the way, where is Darren?"

"Uh...should still be asleep..."

"Oh, yes, Darren was in charge of investigating the guards yesterday, and he was really exhausted..."

Prince Carlisle started a new busy day in high spirits...he had to keep an eye on every aspect of the deal with the forest elves and the prairie tribe, but he didn't have so much time to spend on Anthony—compared to the time he would face in the future. A series of challenges, the suspicion of murdering his eldest brother counts as a ball!

St. Bridge's fleet came and went, and the Elven Port returned to calm after half a month of excitement.

The fleet of the Adventurer's Association came and went frequently after autumn. Their ships departed directly from the ice-free port in the north of the southern continent across the inland sea. It only took ten days of sailing to reach the port of the elves. After bringing back the harvest from the Forest of the Elf in the mainland and the west coast of the cursed land, more and more adventurers signed up to board the ship, and the transportation fee alone made the association a small profit.

The development of the new adventure land is on the right track, and the tax rate documents of the branch stationed in the elf port and the forest elves are naturally on the table.With the friendly foundation laid by the officials of the research department, and the fact that the forest elves are particular about food, the two sides settled on a tax rate similar to that paid by the grassland tribes: one for thirty.

When branch chief Primo signed the document, the fingers of the strongest member of the Adventurer's Association trembled uncontrollably...

Negotiating tax rates with landlords and paying taxes are often done by the Adventurer’s Association. After all, most of the adventure resorts are owned by the owners. If they are not rich, they can let the members of the Adventurer’s Association go to their own land to make money. Some poor The local government even counts on the tax money paid by adventurers to maintain expenses.

But among so many landowners, there is no one whose tax rate is as reserved as the forest elves. The underground world of the dark elves has a tax rate of [-] and [-], the land of the orc empire has a tax rate of [-] and [-], and the tax rate of the forest elves is [-] and one. !

As for the forest elves... When the first batch of transaction taxes and a box of gold coins were placed on the elf general's table, Kleist's handsome face was a little shy...

Adventurers have to pay to stay in their hotels, and spend money when taking risks in the Forest of Elves. Several villages in Anas City that receive adventurers have made a small fortune this year, not to mention that the adventurers themselves are After reducing the number of monsters in the forest for the elves, removing potential safety hazards, and reducing the work intensity of patrolling soldiers, these adventurers now earn [-] gold coins for each of them. Kleist, who has a very high limit, feels that he is really A little blushing...

“Ananas City is the closest to the west coast, the location is really great!”

The cheerful General Kleist took a bottle of fruit wine to take care of the business of the Snow Wolf Food Store that day, sitting on the open-air seat near the beach, eating grilled skewers and drinking with the sea breeze, feeling very happy~

There are many people like General Kleist who like to drink with skewers, and most of them are not as reliable as General Elf. In an hour's time, two groups of adventurers who got too drunk were carried by the snow wolf cubs and thrown on the beach to wake up. Every time they were ashamed, the diners laughed wildly.

"Nanfeng, don't sell stewed food, follow us on an adventure!" an adventurer shouted at the cubs of the snow wolf clan.

"No, you two are very noisy, it's annoying to stay with you every day." Nan Feng clapped his hands and walked back.

There was another burst of laughter, and the adventurers in another team shouted: "We are not noisy here, Nanfeng!"

"Hey, if you trick our cubs again, they won't be allowed to eat!" Mumu shook his fist viciously.

"Hahaha no no no we are just joking, don't take it seriously!"

"A cub of the Snow Wolf Clan..."

Isaac and his party came late and did not grab a seat. The four of them squatted in the corner with bowls in their hands to eat. Arnold the dwarf looked enviously at Nanfeng who threw the powerful fighter out like a play: "It is indeed a natural battle." Race, even cubs are so strong."

The orc Malkan nodded while sucking on the noodles.

"Yeah, fortunately they have a small population, and they can't finish the monsters on the grassland, otherwise there will be nothing for us." Isaac sighed.

The four of them went back to the Southern Continent last month to sell prey. After half a year of hard work, each of them got a hundred gold coins, which was comparable to the income of the past two years. I bought an enchanted hammer produced by the forest elves, and I like to wear this beautiful and powerful hammer on my waist when walking in the port.

"By the way, Isaac, this morning I heard from Theodore's team that they encountered the coast patrol of the Lamia Merchant Corps in the swamp to the east. Those people stared at them for a long time across the swamp before leaving. Now Everyone said that the Lamia Merchant Group took away the swamp in the east, preventing us adventurers from passing, did the elves say anything about it?" the thief Alex suddenly asked.

"I know about this, let's see how the association mentions this to the elves." Isaac was a little unhappy, "It's quite far away, and a small team like ours wouldn't go there... But if the big The team's activity area is restricted by the Lamia business group, so the activity space of our small team will also be affected."

"In the final analysis, those guys don't dare to trouble the elves, they're just picking soft persimmons." Arnold snorted softly.

Isaac laughed: "If you want to treat us adventurers as soft persimmons, it depends on whether they have the ability. The temper of the big team is not as good as our small group."

"Isaac, do you know what?" Alex was surprised.

Isaac nodded: "Theodore came to me at noon and asked if we had found any monster lairs or haunts above level [-]. I told him where we heard the movement before."

Isaac was referring to the mournful cries of the third-level monsters that they heard one night when they were adventurers in the cursed land. It has been several months, and the four of them still remember the frightened and trembling at that time.

Alex's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but said, "Could it be that Theodore and the others plan to...?"

Isaac put his finger in front of his lips, and squeezed his eyes: "We don't know about this, we don't know at all, and we haven't heard of it...It's not uncommon for the cursed land to be attacked by top monsters. Who can tell? OK?"

The three companions understood each other, and showed mysterious and wretched smiles at the same time...

The origin of the group of adventurers is complex, and there are all kinds of races. There is a dark elf walker in Theodore’s team that the four of Isaac are familiar with. There are a lot of green skin elves, and it takes a lot of times to get used to it.

It is not difficult to find one or two with the ultimate speed talent in the group of mixed adventurers. It is not impossible to lure the top-level monsters that others avoid to a specific place... Pull The Miya Merchant Group will be so angry that they want to kill if someone touches the cake, so how can the rebellious adventurers be so good-tempered?

Autumn on the West Coast is not destined to be too peaceful.

The words of the tribe of the Snow Wolf Clan...have nothing to do with Tranquility.

When Ms. Evelyn rode her flying mount to the Flame Tribe for the second time, she circled twice in the sky and couldn't find a landing place—the expansion speed of the Flame Tribe was astonishing, even more amazing than their construction speed The most important thing is the huge amount of crops they harvest from the fields during the harvest season... The square, the walkways between buildings, the roads extending outside the tribe, and even all the slightly flat ground are covered with crops that are drying. Although there are quite a few snow werewolves in the meantime, they are extremely small and weak against the backdrop of the massive harvest...

There was no way for Ms. Evelyn to fly to the harvested field and land. As soon as her feet touched the ground, a group of cubs who were catching grasshoppers with nets surrounded her vigilantly.

Ms. Evelyn lived in the tribe for two days when she came last time, many of them are well-known by her name, but let’s take a look around now... Well, this group of cubs from the snow wolf tribe and the cat tribe She really didn't know any of them, so she raised her hands helplessly: "I'm not an enemy, I'm a friend of the Huoyan Tribe, Evelyn from Ananas City, Ayun knows me."

"The elves of Ananas." A cat cub who seemed to be the leader heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hand to let everyone continue to catch grasshoppers, and walked towards Evelyn by himself, "Ah Yun said After this period of time, you will come, and you will come alone?"

Evelyn was a little surprised that this cat cub spoke like a grown-up, but considering that the Huoyan Tribe even has cubs like Ayun... she didn't make a fuss, nodded and said: "Yes, our forest elves are here This season is relatively busy, and besides, we are familiar with this place, so I can just come.”

"Let me take you to the tribe. I don't know where Ayun is at this time. You may not see him until dinner." The cat cub beckoned Evelyn to follow him, and then pointed at her The big bird said, "This one can't go in, will it peck the crops we just harvested?"

"It doesn't need to go in." Evelyn was a little embarrassed, and waved her hand to let the pet fly to where it liked to play.

The rice field that Evelyn chose to land on was very close to the tribe. Walking out of the field, the wider road leading to the tribe was also piled with drying alfalfa and soybeans... There was only a narrow path left to walk on, which was also Forget it, the cat cubs leading the way looked back at her feet from time to time, for fear that she would step on soybeans, which was a bit embarrassing...

"I didn't seem to have seen you when I came last year," Evelyn said.

"Well, our tribe only came here when winter was approaching last year." said the cat cub.

"You are... from the cheetah family, right? What's your name?" Evelyn guessed after observing the shape of the ears on both sides of the opponent's head.

"My name is A Jiang." The cat cub turned back dissatisfied, "I am not a cheetah, I am a golden cat. Look carefully, my ears are relatively big and round."

The golden cat family and the cheetah family are similar in size. Compared with the speed-oriented cheetah, the muscular and stronger golden cat has a certain frontal combat power. It is classified into the large cat family and is regarded as a small cat. People are not happy.

"..." Evelyn stopped talking, obviously trying to ease the embarrassment by chatting, but it turned out to be even more embarrassing...

Entering the area of ​​the Tribal Square, there is a little more room to step down. After all, there are many busy people coming and going, and the crops to be dried have to give way to others.Evelyn looked curiously at the newly added buildings that hadn't been seen since last year, and then turned her attention to the snowwolves on the side of the square who were shelling soybeans with flails, and found that...she still didn't recognize any of them.

If the position of the Fire Tribe hadn't changed, Evelyn would have wondered if she had found the wrong place...

"Sure enough, they have a lot more people. Also, so many crops and fields can't be taken care of by the previous manpower." Evelyn felt very novel. Although she knew last year that the Huoyan tribe knew how to farm and was good at farming, but it was just They were able to develop so well in just over a year, which made Evelyn feel unreasonably gratified, "Ms. Gwendolyn is right, the patriarch of the Huoyan Tribe is a very far-sighted person. "

"Snowwolf clan develops in this peaceful way and replaces tiger clan to manage the cursed land, so it's a good thing for everyone." Thinking of this, Evelyn clenched her fists excitedly.This year Stephens's troops came back from the Tiger Clan's Royal Court. The news was not good, and Evelyn began to dislike the restless Tiger Clan. On the contrary, the Snow Wolf Clan who chose the road of peace was naturally more pleasing to her eyes.
