Roland hopes that everyone can be happy from the bottom of his heart, and he sincerely looks forward to it.
Everyone will have such wishes and ideals in their childhood, but with the accumulation of growth and experience, after the innocence is washed away by the cruelty of life, everyone will understand how distant and naΓ―ve that kind wish is.
I don't know what happiness is, but Li Lin especially knows what a weak and unrealistic wish [make all of me happy] is.
Although he was so fervently admired and longed for by Roland, in fact, in both essence and purpose, Li Lin was precisely the farthest away from the other side of the expectation.
"What kind of adult each person will eventually become will not depend on what kind of idol he reveres. What kind of life goals that person has set and how to implement them are of reference significance. What kind of attitude he has towards life, in the end, life will shape him into what kind of person he will become. Chasing too ambitious goals will cost me and others too much on the way, so I am just making some people happy within my ability. β
The young businessman's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth flashed with the sophistication and sleekness of an adult. Impeccable logic and language are not an exaggeration to read as philosophical aphorisms, but Elise raised her slender eyebrows slightly.
There is nothing wrong with what Li Lin said, but it is too realistic and even has a taste of decadence, and the small kindness of children is also denied, and the coldness of asserting that "it is unrealistic to make everyone happy" makes Elise slightly dissatisfied, and the proprietress has a polite smile with a spying gaze.
[Sure enough, is it a sense of distance?]
Maintaining a smiling face, Elise murmured to herself.
To introduce or solicit business. Li Lin will use cordial words and body movements to bring the customer closer to himself, and the audience will slowly enter the unguarded listening, weaving and imagining the "correct information" in his mind according to the rhythm he sets.
It can be said that it is a first-class business communication skill, or it may be an innate acting skill. A certain kind of Cheng dΓΉ is a social thaumaturgy that rivals the effect of magic on the mind of Kanyu Manipulation. The key to this magical effect is how to gradually bridge the psychological distance between the two parties.
Li Lin, who had just uttered those philosophical remarks, did the opposite completely, giving Elise a feeling of becoming more and more distant.
[There is no real feeling of sitting in front of me at all, as if you are condescending to observe from some distant place, and then send the sound to your ears.] γ
Conclusions and an inexplicable chill hit the nerves, and Elise's molars meshed tightly.
What's the deal with this boy's strange sense of detachment? Could there be a human with such a strange temperament?
"I have a presumptuous question for the hostess, is that okay?"
The patterned smile that looked at Elise spoke again, and Elise forced her to ask before she could react.
"I haven't seen the boss all the time, have you gone on a long trip?"
"I guess I'm chatting with the men of the village or hunting, and that man has always been used to being careless, and has never cared much about business and courtesy, and can't compare with His Excellency the President. β
Accentuating the word "etiquette", Elise's smile stiffened. If the person you talk to is informed, you will immediately realize that you have stepped on a nail and honestly step back and apologize.
Li Lin was still smiling, and the faces of the public who would be immediately forgotten when thrown into the crowd smiled bitterly. ...,
"I see, then last night...... Forget it, a little thing. β
Unrelated questions and self-deprecation are linked, and the meaningful words make Elise's heart cold.
The man who was the owner of the inn was not as unbearable as he described in his prevarication, and he devoted great enthusiasm and energy to the family and the inn that he ran during his spare time. Although business was not booming, only a few tourists, carriage merchants and bards came to stay overnight. The owner is always very warm to everyone.
From yesterday to now, there has been no particularly busy farm work, and the man has not come out to receive guests, nor has he been lazy or hunting in the forest, as the hostess said.
Mr. President seems to have mastered the whereabouts of the innkeeper, is he now here to ask the teacher about the crime or find out?
Suppressing the questions that had deeply disturbed her, Elise adjusted the subject, and the subtle atmosphere settled down as the affairs unfolded.
"You're not just visiting the shop today to enjoy a glass of undisturbed milk, right?"
"Are you interested in joining our company? I would like to drink this flavor of milk on a regular basis. β
Rounding around the bush or covering up and avoiding will make the interlocutor impatient or even disgusted, questioning the sincerity of the interlocutor, and responding to the straightforward question with a single knife - Li Lin's straightforward mention is more or less within the scope of Elise's prediction.
The president of V.E was not interested in how comfortable the food and lodging were in the inn, but in the talent and identity of the proprietress Elise.
The elves disguised as humans could not sense the abnormality, and Li Lin noticed the mana circulating in the village as soon as he stepped into the village.
Mana circulates throughout the world, like wind or water, and it's only natural to feel the power of magic anywhere, except in the harsh minority of Mana like Niflheim.
But is there a normal flow at first glance, but a closer look reveals the Mana flow, which forms a huge complex loop? Moreover, such a peculiar site is just an inconspicuous remote village?
Coupled with the suspicious prowler outside the camp last night, Li Lin took a keen interest in this peaceful little village and its inhabitants. Of particular interest was the gathering place of the Mana circuit, a small hotel equivalent to a central processing unit, and the Dalkes who ran the hotel were particularly concerned.
The small tavern was filled with carefully disguised magic traps, at least three of which were first-class military attack spells, and two of which were specifically aimed at operational magicians.
Running such a small inn that is unclear whether it is safe or dangerous, the innkeeper has no interest in condescending to a trading company.
He pursed his lips shallowly, and the dimples on his cheeks sank slightly with the ceremonial smile.
"Isn't it possible? I want to bring a talented person like you into my team. However, this clear and clear answer, which refuses to consider further corrections, has been given, and it can only be saddened. β
A helpless mockery without a point filled the restaurant, and Li Lin's incomprehensible voice instantly wiped out the misplaced sense of distance, and poured into Elise's consciousness like a surging tide.
"I'm just a country woman, used to the wild air. The restrained city life full of honorifics and etiquette is really not suitable for a rough person like me. β
Constantly resisting the coercion of dissecting, decomposing, and thoroughly observing every detail of human beings, and the powerful sense of existence that swallows human self-consciousness literally to the dregs. Elise, who had always been a little arrogant, realized how unbearable it was to sink her whole body into icy water, the bitter cold and suffocation seeping through every hair and pore.
Even if you slack off on the tiny length of a hair, your self-consciousness and the human personality called Elise will immediately be swallowed up by a grand dark vortex. ...,
In order not to trigger the trap activated by the induction magic, Li Lin only used the most basic psychological hints, rather than the operation magic that he already had some experience.
That's enough.
A deceitful tongue, a finger that makes a perfect gesture, a crisp voice - all become part of the device that controls the mind.
"The development of etiquette and living habits takes time and patience to cultivate, and eventually it can be adjusted well. Personality, ideology, values, self-esteem - it is not so easy to change. Only a corresponding hardship can cultivate and shape a spirit of perseverance, and there is no mistake in saying it below, Ms. Elise. β
In the dislocation and prolongation of time, a layer of knife-like sharp analysis is attached to bring the wonderful sense of immediacy that the boy is looking down on himself from the ice, eroding the parapet of cognition little by little, and the intense humiliation of being seen through and peeping at is expanding.
Survivor of the rape - Elise, who had never experienced such a tragedy, dimly understood the meaning.
My own inner and personal personality are all invaded by heterogeneity.
What a humiliating, angry thing that was!
"In life, people always like to wear masks to disguise their true selves. For the sake of efficiency, convenience, and harmony with social relations, this behavior is understandable. But after putting on the mask, you still insist on yourself - there is room for discussion. β
[That's just childish stubbornness] - swaying the unfinished milk, and the vague side face with bad intentions and no malice is so teasing.
"Is that a unique and glamorous style showing? Indeed, it is tempting for customers to have different new and exciting experiences. But the beautiful briar is not carefully treated, and sooner or later people will get tired of the fragile flowers that do not know how to converge the spikes. The relationship between superiors and subordinates that is difficult to communicate smoothly will only make the organization work poorly, which is not a good thing for anyone......"
"Guest, do you want to refill the milk?"
The middle-aged man with a scrimped beard interrupted the magic sound that oppressed the five senses of the mind, and the solidified air was re-injected with vitality and flowed. The male owner of the small inn separated the gaze of the confrontation between Li Lin and Elise.
The position has changed drastically.
Li Lin's unilateral pressure turned into a one-on-two stalemate, and the atmosphere deliberately created was also disrupted.
"I'm sorry to keep you full, boss. β
The face that was not moved by the change of situation tapped lightly, and the mellow impact sound of the cup filled with fresh milk was admiring the smooth wedge into the air.
"I like the taste of milk very much, and the milk in your store is full of serious and hard-working. The palate will produce a unique variation. What I tasted yesterday and what I brought to my mouth today have a different fragrance. β
"The view, the seats, the cups and the milk you drink are no different...... Sure enough, the air and the mentality of people who enjoy milk have changed. β
The middle-aged boss's tone of voice was frank and calm, so that it made people feel a headache, and he leaned forward to Li Lin with a smile that didn't show the slightest nervousness, and continued:
"It's better for young people to be frank, drink a glass of milk and think so much about what you don't have, be careful not only can't grow in size, but also can't grow down there. When I accidentally do that with the girls, they don't feel good!...... when I was young."
"Kid dad?!"
Elise screwed her oily ears full of earwax like lightning, and the butler's devilish distorted expression said in a slowed and chilling voice:
"I, have, do, situation, want, and, you, business, quantity, one, down, oh. β
Under the fierce spirit of "Death to the One Who Stands in My Way", the middle-aged man with a wry smile disappeared behind the side door, and the heavy door panel and door frame hit each other with a loud wail.
β...... This milk is really good. β
After drinking the white fishy drink, he took out a small piece from his money bag and placed it on the table, and Li Lin left the small hotel with the same pace as when he came, and he could vaguely hear the unique sound of domestic violence in progress. ...,
β...... As you expected, Your Excellency. β
Brunhill followed closely behind Li Lin and lowered his voice.
What kind of experience and spirit sustained the female human being, so that the almost omniscient and all-powerful Your Excellency expected the failure of the solicitation and actually verified this prediction?
"It's better not to think of that proprietress as an ordinary rural woman, otherwise sooner or later she will suffer a big loss. β
There is no trace of loss, disappointment, or anger and dissatisfaction, and the everyday tone makes the conclusion.
"Such a fine woman -- a woman who must have been a prominent figure among Charlemagne's politicians and scholars -- Elise Dahlk was an ordinary proprietress of a small hotel in the country of Lapland...... Brunhill, do you believe it?"
Whoever it is, the answer is "no believe". But before Brunhill noticed and Li Lin tried to find out the results. No one ever doubted that clever disguise.
The womanβ
"It's so suspicious, do you need me to investigate and test it?"
The excellent insight and analytical judgment ability were all hidden under the ordinary appearance, and it was not until Li Lin gradually induced persecution that some clues were revealed.
[To His Excellency Li Lin, it's just an insignificant ant, but if you let it go like this......]
"It's better not to do that, right?"
The playful subtle admonition without a joke closes Brunhill's train of thought toward a hard-line approach, and the elven girl disguised as a human doesn't let out a "uh?" question.
"The most important thing right now is not the woman's exciting story and mysteries, but the things that are left to the professionals in charge...... Be careful with the box with the key. β
"I see. β
After revealing a sudden realization expression for more than 1 second, Yan SΓΉ's sacred sense of responsibility was fully reflected on the elf girl's face.
Compared with the real purpose of this trip to Lapland and the [box that can change the world] carried by the convoy, not to mention Elise, whose background identity is full of fog, the value of the strategic railway, which is still in the planning and survey stage, is just like a small pebble on the side of the road.
The elves who traveled with them had already been prepared to realize when necessary, in order to keep Li Lin and [Box], for the sake of loyalty and righteousness, and in order to open up an important journey to realize their long-cherished wishes, including Brunhill, they were all prepared to sacrifice their lives.
[For the Motherland. γ
The sacred slogan shouted in the body of the well-proportioned and sexy elf girl, and the heavy weight of tragedy drove all the things related to Elise away from her mind, and the enthusiastic brain began to move on to the next business.

After the thriller blockbuster was staged, the messy scene completely returned to normal after the boss lady was familiar with it, and only the scars on the husband's face provided some clues to the domestic violence case.
"Anachronistic pornographic jokes can get trouble - dear, you should have learned your lesson, right?"
There is a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere behind the smile of the good wife and good mother, and the violent venting is not enough to feel a thousand times more terrifying than the roar of the dangerous species.
The colorful bruises on her shy face show the strong force value of the Lioness of Hedong and the final interpretation of the moral code, and the husband shows the tricks of the child and pretending to be innocent.
"My wife, I have done a very thorough, comprehensive and profound reflection......"
"That's what I said last time. β
The record of the credit overdraft was debunked by sighs, and the stiff smiling face of the husband was soaked with dense sweat.
Fortunately, the imminent bankruptcy of credit lines is not their primary concern.
"Finally, you still know how to protect your wife...... Oops, forget it, don't pursue it for the time being. β
The husband who was beaten by the owner with a generous smile and passed away for many years will ask "Who are you?", and the husband shows a grateful and almost bowed to the husband, and if the onlooker is lucky enough to witness this scene, he will wonder if the male owner of the hotel has any special sexual fetishes and orientations. ...,
The little dark room, the woman's excited laughter, the man's painful and happy moaning and wailing, the candles, the leather whip, and the high heels trampling......
-- It's a combination of elements that makes people reverie infinitely.

Small theatre time
Brunhill: Bode Village is no ordinary village!
Li Lin: You finally noticed it?
Brunhill: So this is a gathering place for enthusiasts! That lady Iris is actually a strange creature who wields a leather whip and says, "Oh, hehehe, call me Her Majesty!"! Roland's father is actually a shaking M man covered in whip marks, moaning [Modo] and [Modo]?
Li Lin: Where did you find the old children's video tapes? Although I don't want to interfere with the lady's private life, but be careful, I heard that the author of "Ji" was arrested by the Niu Niu family police because he had too many videos on his computer that were not suitable for minors to watch.
Brunhill: That's actually the policeman himself watching a movie, and he doesn't want to pay for it...... Well, today's question is simple. Who are the five hooligans who are in charge of the earth? What are their nicknames, and what is the origin of their nicknames? Hint: If you don't know, you can go and read "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year"! There are prizes, points, and rewards! Hurry up and get moving!
