Chapter 57 The Promise
Chapter 57 The Promise
Leave? Where to go?
Li Mosi was puzzled and looked at the other three.
Zi'an and the Holy Maiden stared at them, looking completely surprised.
Zi Yi, on the other hand, didn't show much expression.
It seems he already knew.
After the old goblin finished speaking, he walked towards the cave entrance: "I need to say a few words to my people."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the chieftain's cave, and Zi Yi quickly followed.
"Let's go."
Li Mosi glanced at it, pulled up the saintess, and gestured for Zi'an to follow.
The five returned to the large cave.
At this time, most of the goblins and prisoners were asleep, only the goblins on guard duty remained awake.
"Greedy meat." The old goblin called the slightly overweight goblin to his side. "Wake up the tribe, I have something to announce."
"Yes, Elder."
The slightly chubby goblin readily agreed and turned to wake up the other goblins.
"Get up, get up! The elder has something to say! Don't just stand there, come and wake these guys up."
Before long, the goblins woke up, and the prisoners were also awakened, staring at the goblins with drowsy eyes.
What's going on?
Has the enemy attacked?
That can't be right, who would be out and about so late at night?
Could it be a wild animal?
"Listen!" the old goblin roared, drawing the attention of all the goblins. "I'm taking advantage of the pleasant weather to go back to the old tribe and see how the prey and land have recovered."
The old one-eyed man stepped forward from the goblin horde: "Elder, think it over! It takes more than ten nights to get there!"
"I know, shut up."
The old goblin waved his hand, silencing the old one-eyed man.
"It's precisely because the timing is perfect that I'm setting off now. I want to get back here before winter."
The goblins fell silent.
The elders were indeed more adept at understanding the weather than any of them.
The old goblin continued, "During this time, listen to the chief's orders. Prepare for winter."
"Yes."
"OK."
The goblins readily agreed, even the old one-eyed man who had initially opposed it nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry. Our leader is capable, and we are willing to obey."
The old goblin nodded: "Anyone else want to speak? Glutton? Long-armed? Flat-headed? Clever boy? Strong boy?"
He targeted the goblins who wanted to speak one by one.
The goblins shook their heads and remained silent.
When it came to the clever boy, it spoke.
"The chief can hunt wild boars and bring food, so I must obey."
When it was the strong goblin's turn, it simply lowered its head and did nothing.
After a few days, its heart had become numb.
What else can be said?
Just getting through the winter is enough.
The old goblin stared at it for a few seconds, then turned its head away.
This relieved many goblins.
The old goblin then looked at Ziyi: "You must listen to your master's words, understand?"
Zi Yi lowered his head: "Yes, Grandmother."
The old goblin looked at Zi'an: "Family members should help each other, Zi'an."
Of course, family members should help each other.
Zi'an sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
Her mind was still full of knowledge, and she nodded blankly: "Of course."
The old goblin looked at Li Moss: "Master, I'm entrusting Ziyi to you. Although I don't know why you really treat us like family, I can see that you're sincere."
Now that things have come to this point...
Li Mosi nodded: "Leave it to me."
He had a premonition about what would happen next from the very first day he traveled through time.
I just didn't expect them to choose this way to leave.
The old goblin addressed the goblins one last time: "From now on, treat this human as you would treat me, an elder! Understand?"
Upon hearing this, the goblins all turned to look at Li Moss.
"what?"
"Understood!"
Some were confused, while others understood.
The goblins who received their new weapons understood this perfectly well.
Their new weapons were taken from these humans, and the weapons that appeared in the leader's hands overnight must have been the same.
The clever boy and the strong goblin understood even more clearly that the swift hunt of the wild boar a few days ago was also related to this human.
Even when fighting humans, it was he who persuaded the elders.
It could be said that these humans had long since become elders.
They have no reason to object.
There was no way to oppose the old goblin.
"Alright, I've prepared everything. You all can rest now. I need to head back to the old tribe while there's still time."
After the old goblin finished speaking, he turned and left.
"OK."
"it is good."
The old goblin has left.
We left via the path down the mountain.
Zi Yi, Li Mosi, and Zi An watched him disappear into the night.
He didn't look back, just as he always did when he went down the mountain to gather, hunt, or log.
Back in the chief's cave, the atmosphere in the four-person room was visibly oppressive.
Li Mosi said to Ziyi, "Parents love their children, which is why they consider their long-term future. Don't let your grandmother down."
Zi Yi's voice was very soft: "Yes, Master."
Zi'an finally sensed something and tentatively asked, "Master, will he never come back?"
"Of course," the saint answered for Li Moss, "He's old."
Li Mosi was somewhat surprised.
Isn't Haki Saint always jumping around?
They're actually not making sarcastic remarks anymore.
She even looked somewhat sad.
Something on your mind?
goo.
Zi'an swallowed hard, then awkwardly lowered her hand and placed it on Zi Yi's shoulder.
She doesn't understand this.
Bear-beastmen have few enemies and a long lifespan.
Her father's father's father's father was still alive and well, and still strong enough to kill a wild boar with his bare hands.
Her only worry was the lack of food.
But she had seen this atmosphere in those who had been arrested.
At first, I just felt it was strange and incomprehensible.
Looking back now, that didn't seem so wonderful.
Ziyi took Zian's hand off her shoulder: "Alright, at least I'm not without family now. Besides, we need to prepare for winter."
Zi'an nodded: "I will help you."
Li Mosi felt relieved.
This wasn't the first time Zi Yi had lost family members, but compared to the troll invasion, this time it wasn't as sudden.
It's good that he can take it easy.
However, it's never good for a tribal chief to be in low spirits and for others to notice it.
Li Moss decided to distract them.
He began by saying, "The past cannot be changed, but there are many things we can do in the future."
These words drew all three gazes to him.
"Next, I plan to divide the prisoners into two teams of equal size, with each of you managing one team. Let's see who can get them to produce more results on their own initiative."
To put it simply, it's about motivating people.
These words indeed attracted Zi Yi's attention.
He asked, "How about encouraging them to proactively produce more results?"
Li Moss nodded: "That's right, to make these prisoners willing to obey you and do more work on their own initiative."
Zi Yi's gaze turned serious: "No problem."
He is very confident about this.
The master and apprentice looked at Zi'an.
Zi'an subconsciously touched the top of his head: "Master, what are the two teams doing?"
"One team is loosening the soil, which will take at least five to six days. Another team continues logging to prepare fuel for winter and collect timber, while the goblins continue gathering the surplus."
Zi'an nodded: "Then I'll manage the farming team. But... Master, could you put those disobedient kids from today into my team?"
