MM Racing Chapter 1410 Moonless Night?
Chapter 1410 Moonless Night?
Upon hearing this suggestion, Mavica was taken aback. She turned to look at Shao Yun and asked, "Caishi Peak?"
Shao Yun nodded slightly, speaking in a calm and natural tone about the various "advantages" of Caishiding, but his words were subtly mixed with some implicit hints.
Only Mavica, the native Nata Vulcan, could understand those unspoken meanings.
“Yes, that’s it,” he said slowly. “The quarry is on higher ground, and the climate in Nata is quite hot and dry. It’s well-ventilated there, and the temperature is much cooler at night, making it more comfortable for these guests from the north.”
"Most importantly, that place is usually quiet and secluded, which is perfect for the Frostmoon Children to gather together without being disturbed by the outside world."
He paused, then added, his tone still steady, but the implication becoming increasingly clear.
"Moreover, the quarry is very close to the Suspended Wood People's tribe, so it is convenient to replenish supplies and take care of daily needs without having to go through any trouble."
“I think the leader of the Frostmoon Children would really like that quiet and comfortable place.”
Mavica stared at Shao Yun, carefully considering every word he said. After a moment, she instantly understood the hidden meaning in his words.
Shao Yun wasn't talking about the benefits; he was clearly devising a foolproof plan for her that would both respect Nata's goodwill and allow her to firmly control the situation.
The reason why no one goes to Caishiding is not because it is "quiet". It is simply because the place is a barren rocky plateau with hard rocks on the ground and very thin soil, let alone being able to grow crops for self-sufficiency!
By settling the Frostmoon Child there and cutting off their external supplies, they won't be able to cause any trouble within three days, no matter how much effort they put in.
Shao Yun's statement that "it is close to the Suspended Wood People's tribe, making it convenient to replenish supplies" reveals his true meaning.
If these Frostmoon Sons harbor even the slightest ill will, and dare to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble or plot treason, the Suspended Wood People tribe will arrive immediately and quell the rebellion without giving them any chance to succeed.
Moreover, Shao Yun himself lives in the Suspended Wood People tribe. With his strength, if these refugees of the Frost Moon Children really dare to launch a rebellion, the Suspended Wood People tribe wouldn't even need to intervene. Shao Yun alone could suppress the rebellion immediately and completely eliminate the hidden danger.
Mavica suddenly understood and couldn't help but admire Shao Yun's meticulous thinking.
On the surface, this plan shows Nata's goodwill by understanding the children of Frostmoon's desire not to be separated and providing them with a quiet and comfortable place to settle down.
Secretly, they had already laid down defenses and considered all risks, thus preserving Nata's sovereignty while maintaining firm control over the situation—truly a win-win situation.
Mavica, instantly understanding Shao Yunliang's good intentions, nodded emphatically, turned to Lauma on the bed, and said in a calm and appropriate tone:
"Hmm... I've thought about it, and this plan seems feasible."
"But right now, all the tribes in Nata are busy settling other refugees and are simply too busy to provide you with more comprehensive care. We can only try our best to provide you with policy conveniences so that you can gather together."
After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Lauma's face, showing her full respect.
"So, Miss Lauma, do you have any objections to settling you up on the top of the quarry? If you feel it's inappropriate, we can discuss it further."
Upon hearing this, Lauma nodded slowly without the slightest hesitation.
For her, the most important thing at this moment was to unite the Frostmoon Children's people closely together; the environment of the resettlement site was completely irrelevant.
“No objection, absolutely none.” Her tone was earnest and firm, and even though her breath was still weak, her words were full of determination.
"As long as my people can live together and not be separated, we can accept any environment or conditions, no matter how harsh or difficult they are, and we will never cause any more trouble for your country."
Seeing Lauma's direct and earnest expression, Mavica scratched her head, smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained:
"Don't misunderstand, Caishiding isn't a bad place. It's just that... it's high up and there's not much shade, so the sun can be particularly glaring at noon and it can be a little hot. But otherwise, it's fine."
……
Following Shao Yun's suggestion and after both parties reached an agreement, it was finally decided that this group of Frost Moon Sons of the Nordkalai would be settled in the Quarry Peak, which was under the jurisdiction of the Suspended Wood People tribe.
This arrangement satisfies the Laumaran tribe's desire for reunion while also taking into account Nata's safety considerations, making it arguably the most comprehensive option at present.
Regarding the specific relocation matters, Mawika made it clear that Nata could only provide administrative conveniences.
For example, coordinating with the Suspended Wood People tribe to allow them to pass through and issuing relevant resettlement certificates to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
The real complexities of relocation preparation, packing, and personnel counting all had to be handled by Lauma and the Frostmoon Children themselves.
After all, the various tribes of Nata are already operating beyond capacity just to accommodate the massive influx of refugees from Nordkalai. With limited manpower and resources, they simply don't have the extra energy to allocate manpower specifically to assist the Frostmoon Children in their migration.
Lauma was well aware of this and did not make any further demands.
After the meeting concerning the fate of the Frostmoon Child ended, the night was already completely deep.
Shao Yun escorted Mavica back to her office to rest.
On the way, Mavica could no longer maintain her dignified demeanor. While rubbing her sore shoulders, she chattered on and on to Shao Yun beside her, making it unclear whether she was talking or just venting.
If it were anyone else, she certainly wouldn't complain about the hard work so openly; but the other person was Shao Yun, someone who could understand her difficulties and help her out of trouble, so she didn't need to be on guard.
"This is such a headache," she couldn't help but sigh, her voice full of helplessness. "Just thinking about waking up tomorrow morning and having a mountain of things to deal with makes my head feel like it's going to explode."
"No, once I'm done with this busy period, I'm definitely going to have Xinoning upgrade my Chiluncha. It'll be a reward for all this hard work, otherwise it'll be such a waste!"
(At this moment, Xinoning was working through the night to repair the damaged Inev when she suddenly shivered for no reason. A chill ran up her neck, and she couldn't help but mutter, "Who is it? Why is it talking about me in the middle of the night? Could it be Mavica?")
Listening to Mavica's weary complaints, Shao Yun turned to look at her, revealing a mischievous friend's expression, and teased, "Don't worry, don't be too troubled. At least no one will cause trouble over at the top of the quarry."
"To be honest, I originally thought that after these Nordkales came to Nata, they might take the opportunity to rebel and seize your position as the God of Fire."
Upon hearing this, Mavica stopped massaging her shoulders, turned to look at Shao Yun, and gave him a forced smile.
"You're really good at comforting people, but hearing that only gives me a bigger headache, okay?"
Although he said that, deep down he was clearly somewhat relieved of his fatigue by his nonsensical joke.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked to the entrance of the leadership office.
Shao Yun stopped and waved to Mavica, his tone softening as he said goodbye, "Alright, I'll leave you here. Get some rest and be well-rested to deal with tomorrow's chores."
"I should go home now. Don't worry, I'll come back to help tomorrow, all for Nata."
Upon hearing that Shao Yun would be coming to help again tomorrow, Mavica's previous fatigue vanished. She immediately clasped her hands together, adopting a playful yet earnest expression, and said in a lighthearted tone:
"Thank you so much! Oh, and please tell your lovely wife that I'm sorry I'll have to borrow your things for a long time, which will interfere with your time together."
Upon hearing the word "wife," Ying's image flashed through Shao Yun's mind instantly. He recalled how Ying always complained that he spent all his time tending to the cattle and sheep on the ranch, saying that if he continued like this, he would become a "cowherd" and lose his mind. A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on Shao Yun's lips, and he casually said:
“It’s okay, it’s all for Nata’s sake, my wife understands. Besides, she’d love for me to stop spending all my time with cattle and sheep, she always says I’ll go crazy sooner or later.”
Upon hearing this, Mavica couldn't help but laugh out loud and waved her hand.
"Please tell him for me: Be careful on the road!"
……
After bidding farewell to Mavica, Shao Yun led two Shire horses to his carriage.
It is unclear when it started, but the moon, which was originally hanging high in the sky and casting a faint glow, was completely covered by thick dark clouds and disappeared without a trace, leaving only boundless darkness between heaven and earth.
Shao Yun drove the carriage, the wheels making a "rolling" sound, from the Olympic Arena towards home.
For Shao Yun, traveling at night was no big deal, since no one would dare to rob him... If someone did rob him, it would just be a way for him to earn some pocket money.
He held the reins in one hand and carried a lantern in the other, illuminating a short stretch of road ahead.
Just as the carriage rounded a bend and he was casually waving his lantern, a figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the road ahead, standing there motionless.
Shao Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively cursed under his breath, "Holy shit!"
The sudden appearance of the figure in the pitch-black, moonless night was as shocking as someone suddenly rushing onto the front of a truck on a national highway at night, startling the driver of a hundred-ton heavy truck and making him shudder.
He reacted extremely quickly, immediately pulling hard on the reins and letting out a low shout of "Whoa!"
Upon hearing the sound, the two Shire horses pulling the carriage immediately reared up, let out a soft neigh, and then came to a steady stop. The carriage also came to a sudden halt, stopping just a few steps away from the figure, thus avoiding a collision.
Shao Yun was about to curse the person blocking his way, but when he looked at the person, he suddenly stopped.
He felt inexplicably familiar with the other person's figure, especially the conspicuous white beret and the golden hair that hung over their shoulders, shimmering slightly in the dim light...
Could this look like Nico Lane?
