Chapter 43: Simple and Crude Solicitation
The battle ended quickly. The complete gap in strength is not something that a little bit of cleverness can fight against at all, not to mention that even if someone like Zai plays Clever, he is not Tang Dou's opponent. More than 30 of XY's subordinates were killed by none of the red fires that were raised, and even those wind wolves resisted too fiercely, and finally more than a dozen were killed, and in the end, Tang Dou saw that the red fire couldn't be contained, and asked Ah Bao to suppress those wind wolves, which was peaceful.
Now Chihuo is very afraid that Tang Dou will scold her, so she will bring up the soft girl. Then the soft girl saw the blood and broken corpses on the ground, and fainted very happily.
The expression on Tang Dou's face was wonderful, and in desperation, he had no choice but to let the soft girl rest on Ah Bao, and took Xiao Chunzi to the small settlement.
The people in the small settlement looked at Tang Dou and his party nervously, they may all be people living at the bottom, and they don't have much knowledge, but the most basic situation is still clear - the robbers who were about to slaughter their entire village were solved by the two war beasts in front of them in front of them in an open eye, and only two of them looked soft.
Lin Xiao carried Zai to Tang Dou's side and threw the bandit leader aside: "Master, the task is complete!" β
Tang Dou threw an appreciative look at the other party, and then looked at the surviving settlers: "Who are you in charge of?" β
Villagers, look at me, I look at you, but in the end, it was not the golden-level man who stood up, but a very old elf in the crowd who stood up.
Pure-blood elves!
And he has already shown his old age, and it is clear that he has reached the age of more than two thousand eight hundred. No matter what level the elves are, regardless of whether their lifespan will be extended due to their strength, their old age will only appear in the last two hundred years of their lifespan, and once this state appears, they will quickly age and become old.
The elf old man in front of him was so weak that he couldn't even feel the battle spirit, and it seemed that his lifespan was short. But it can be seen that the whole settlement respects him, and when he stands up, the villagers all teach themselves to give way, and the golden man is even more cautious to step forward and support the old man who is already rickety, only his waist is high.
"Dear Strongman, I am the chief of this village, Klein. Thanks a lot to the help of the strong, our little settlement has no treasure to give, but if the strong need a place to rest in the wilderness, we are more than willing to provide ourselves with the best shelter and food! The elven old man spoke in a sleek manner.
First express your gratitude, and then explain that this is a poor village, but if you have any requirements for accommodation and food, you must do your best to the whole village.
In fact, this elf old man has lived for more than 2,000 years, even if he was a stunned person at the beginning, he should have become a fine man by now, and he used the most reasonable way to calm the "anger of the strong" that may come as much as possible. In this wilderness, it is impossible to help others for fun, in order to get it, you must pay, and the lower part of the heavenly soldiers is the reward, and the kind of people who run around just to do good deeds do not exist at all.
This is the way to survive in this wilderness, and no one can disobey it.
Tang Dou didn't intend to disobey, not to mention that he originally had the idea of taking these people away, even if he told others that he was a good example to learn from Lei Feng, and he didn't leave a name for doing good deeds, people wouldn't believe it. If he really dared to say that, maybe the people in this village would all move out overnight, for fear that Tang Dou would coax them and then prepare to slaughter the village.
So Tang Dou cleared his throat: "Dear Elder Crane, I am the leader of an emerging organization, I am recruiting troops, and when I passed through this neighborhood, I happened to see that you were in danger here. So I reached out and hoped that someone in your village would be willing to join my organization! β
In the Alsa Desert, only the people in the inner ring will practice talking in circles, because they have the strength and capital, while the people in the middle and outer rings have always been straight, and the people here don't have the time, let alone the ability to go around in circles.
Klein's face changed, the only thing worthy of recruitment in their village must be the big man who supports him, but this is also the only real combat power of their village, if they are recruited away, they will no longer have the slightest defensive ability, and they will not be slaughtered by people in the future?
But if you disobey the will of the strong man in front of you, maybe the whole village will be finished in the next second. Unlike the others, Klein had already recognized Koharuko, the Nine Flame Golden Lion, a top-level fire-type demon beast that would definitely be platinum level nine when he became an adult.
How strong is a person who uses this demon beast as a war beast?
Does a small village like theirs have the right to refuse?
When he was in a dilemma, Klein heard Tang Dou's words again, and was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"Elder Klein must be thinking, if I recruit all the fighting power in the village, not only will the village not have any defense, I am afraid that it will not even have the ability to live, and a village with only old and weak women and children will not be able to survive in Arsa." Of course, Tang Dou knew what the old elf was thinking.
The old elf trembled his hands: "Respected strong man, your understanding makes the humble me extremely grateful!" β
Tang Dou waved and said, "Elder Crane, I think you may have misunderstood what I said just now, I didn't plan to recruit only the warriors you had here, such as the one next to you, I was planning to recruit all of you!" β
Klein was stupid, and blinked vigorously: "Respected powerhouse, I, I don't know if it's too old to misunderstand what you mean by honorable powerhouse, you plan to recruit all of us?" There are a total of one hundred and eighty-seven people in our small settlement, half of them are old people, women and children, we can't have any effect on the strong, and even many people can't move to your territory with the strong! β
Tang Dou chuckled: "It seems that it was a misunderstanding." Let me put it this way! Elder Klein, you heard me right, I'm going to solicit all of you. Because I intend to develop a complete force of my own, which requires not only strong combat effectiveness, but also strong logistics. Elder Klein just said that you old and weak are useless to me? That's a misstatement. You can survive in this unforgiving wilderness, that's a ability, and that's what I need! β
"Dear Elder Crane, what I want to build is an ideal country, a country where everyone can be equal, everyone happy, no one can bully, and no one can overcome. There, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone can be happy and peaceful there! So I need any kind of power! Like this powerful warrior by your side, I need his fighting power. Elders like you, Klein, I need your wisdom in life. And the others, I need your strength too! β
Tang Dou's words are extremely inflammatory, his words should be put in the world of his previous life, and only those poor and remote people who have never seen the world may be of some use, dare to speak in a big city, and be beaten as a cult in three minutes! But in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, in front of a group of suffering people who are struggling to exist at the bottom, how inflammatory such words are, just look at the expressions on the faces of those people.
But Klein still maintained the most basic calm, he looked at Tang Dou, and only after a while did he speak cautiously: "Respected powerhouse, I don't doubt your words, but ......" He didn't know how to continue. Because I was afraid of offending Tang Dou.
Tang Dou laughed, "Elder Crane, I know what I'm worried about. It's nothing more than me lying to you. Because it doesn't sound very realistic, and most importantly, even if what I'm saying is true, why should I look for you? Why don't I have such strength and not go to the middle and inner rings? Take a step back, and even if all is true, how can you, old and young, go through the wilderness to the kingdom of which I speak? Is it? β
Klein looked at Tang Dou stunned, then nodded.
"A thousand words are better than a glance. Old Klein, come with me. I'll take you to a place, and then you'll know if what I'm saying is true or false! There was an extra ripple around Tang Dou, it was the entrance and exit to the source of life space, this entrance and exit could only be opened by Tang Dou himself, without his consent, no one else could enter if it was placed there.
Crane looked at the ripple in confusion, not knowing what was in front of him.
"Look, come in with me and see if what I'm saying is true or false. As for whether I'm lying to you or not, is there actually any difference? With my strength, if I want to do anything to you, I don't need to deceive at all, do you? Tang Dou used his tried and tested hypothetical theory again.
Clearly, the hypothetical theory worked again, and Klein nodded and agreed.
"Daddy, do you want me to come with you?" The half-demon man spoke, unexpectedly, his voice was full of immaturity, like a child before he changed his voice.
Tang Dou was stunned for a moment, looked at this big man, and had a trace of curiosity.
Klein thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No need. As the respected strong man said, there is no need for us to doubt the strong for anything! You wait here for me, I'll be here soon! β
The big man really looked like a child, nodded with a sigh, obediently let go of the old elf's hand, and stood and stared at Tang Dou.
Tang Dou glanced at Lin Xiao, asked Xiao Chunzi to stay with Lin Xiao, and called Ah Bao himself, and then helped Klein into the ripples together.
Through a white mist, after a slight sense of weightlessness, appeared in front of Crane, is a huge prairie, on the left side of the grassland, is a large lake as wide as the ocean, the surface of the lake is sparkling, sometimes birds fly by, fish jump into the water, the breeze blows from the lake, the humid air makes Klein tight, he clutches his chest tightly, he can't believe everything in front of him, but the wind, the air, the touch under his feet, everything, makes him feel real.
"It looks great here, but there's a lot to be desired. Plants are good, but there are actually very few animals here, and I guess when we first moved in, everyone ate vegetarian food for a while. I'll figure this out though. In addition, you have also seen that I have just started here, and everyone has to rebuild the house when they come, and everything is starting from scratch! Tang Dou looked at Klein with a smile.
Crane slowly crouched down, buried his face in the ankle-length grass, sniffed the scent of the earth and the faint smell of the grass, and indulged in it for a long time.
For a pure-blood elf, this kind of nature is what their heart wants, if there is no way, how can a pure-blood elf go to a place like the Ars Wilderness?
Tang Dou didn't bother Crane, he just watched quietly, and after waiting for a long time, Crane raised his head, and his cloudy eyes revealed the light of wisdom that had been given to him for a long time: "Respected powerhouse, why is this?" β
"Why did I choose you? Actually, it wasn't that I chose you, but fate made us meet. In your opinion, I am extremely powerful, but in fact, wisdom like you, you should know that in this world, people like me are still not the most powerful, so I have to be displaced, I have to be controlled by others, in order to resist this fate, I want to establish my own power, control my own destiny. So I came to Arsa, because I knew that here I would find a group of people who, like me, would do everything in their power to fight against fate. And you are just the first people! Tang Dou said bluntly.
At this moment, Klein was no longer an old and useless old man, and there was wisdom written in his eyes: "But respected powerhouse, how can you be sure that among the people you recruit, there will not be another person who will fight against fate?" In fact, there is no essential difference between your approach and those who are stronger! β
Tang Dou smiled dumbly: "Yes, in essence, there is no difference at all. The pioneers of every force said the same thing in the pioneering period. Maybe not as specific as I said, but I'm the same as them. History is always strikingly similar, but that's life, isn't it? Fate made me choose to rebel at this moment. Let us meet in this wilderness too. Elder Crane, if your answer is no, you can rest assured that I will not hurt you in the slightest, but we will no longer have any connection. Whatever happens to you in the future, I won't ask again. Fate makes us meet, but only once! β
Tang Dou's words translate to be his own person if he agrees, and if he doesn't agree, he won't do anything to you, but even if you die in front of me in the future, I won't blink my eyes.
Klein certainly understood what Tang Dou meant, and he was not angry, because Tang Dou's words were more realistic than threatening.
Reality, that's all.
If you want to get it, you have to give it back.
What righteousness, what great reason, what great wisdom, in the end, is just to make one's life betterβor better in reality, or better in spirit.
"Honorable lord, I wonder if the old man can know the name of the lord?" Klein saluted Tang Dou.
Don Dou smiled: "My name, Nicholas Don!" (To be continued.) )
