In the goblin village, Zheng Ming leaned against the broken tree and looked into the distance.

In the time it took for Zheng Ming and the two to go back and forth, the sun was setting and the gray night was falling. The dark clouds of the sky obscured the already not-so-bright night light, and only one or two stars remained stubbornly blooming.

The smoke and dust of the daytime battlefield had cleared, revealing the porous ground and the blackened remnants of it. In the dim light, the darkness around the ground almost blends together, making it difficult to distinguish between them, as if they are in a chaotic darkness.

"Your Excellency. Please take the villain. What the villain said before was sincere, and there was no half-truth. ”

Zheng Ming didn't pay much attention to the request of Siscoute behind him. After accepting the inheritance key, the other party has already said what he just said countless times.

It just picked up the silver bracelet and subconsciously stroked it, frowning and thinking about it.

The inheritance key that seemed to be gold and non-gold rubbed against Zheng Ming's fingers, and there was a comfortable rough texture, making its thinking more and more agile.

"Your Excellency. Please agree to the villain's request. ”

Another untimely sound interrupted Zheng Ming's thoughts, and it frowned slightly unhappily.

"You think I'm good to get along with? Or do you think I like to be around people? If you want to be with me, first of all, your way of speaking is not qualified. You should call myself a villain. It's too tiring to talk to you. ”

"Little ...... I just want to follow in the footsteps of the adults, and I don't dare to expect to be with you. ”

Seeing that Cisco Wut would be wrong, Zheng Ming sighed helplessly and changed the topic.

"You must first tell me why you want to follow me and serve me as Lord, right?"

"You've been acknowledged by the Legacy Key. You are destined to be the one who leads our goblin clan. ”

"What's so strange about getting a Legacy Key? Have you also served Sabidulia as Lord before? ”

Under Zheng Ming's skeptical eyes, Sikout hesitated for a while, and then said, "Your Excellency doesn't know, since my clan migrated here, that goblin has never been able to obtain the inheritance key. What I told you before is only a message that has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

"Oh. Are you afraid that I will monopolize your inheritance? To tell you the truth, there are many inheritance keys, and there is only one inheritance place. Maybe it's been discovered over the years. Besides, even if it hadn't been discovered, I wouldn't have given it back to you. I'll keep it useful. ”

"Any other inheritance keys? No, you misunderstood me, my lord. I really felt that following you was the only way out for me, so I decided to serve you as my lord. As for the inheritance key, since the adults have obtained its recognition, the villains dare not cross it. ”

"Alas~ It's really brain-consuming to talk to you. Do you know what I was thinking before you interrupted me? ”

Zheng Ming's sudden change of topic made Siscoute stunned, and he just looked at Zheng Ming blankly with a puzzled expression.

"What do you think I'm in right now? Calm? Leisurely? Wrong! I'm very agitated right now. Lucy was injured and fled without a trace, perhaps wandering nearby, heading for our previous destination, or even encountering an unexpected corpse wilderness. ”

"No, it won't. Don't you have to worry too much? ”

What Siscoute didn't expect was that his comforting words made Zheng Ming react so violently, only to see that his originally calm tone suddenly became high-pitched, and his eyes flashed with blood that made people palpitate.

"Don't worry about it? How dare you say it! ”

Roaring at this, Zheng Ming seemed to realize his gaffe, the hideous expression on his face slowly converged, and after calming down, he said flatly: "I know it's useless to be in a hurry." So I did what I could first, to see the Inheritance Vault you talked about and to get a map of the nearby forces.

I have to say that the harvest was unexpected, not to mention this inheritance key for the time being, the map alone far exceeded my original standard, covering the detailed path to Starlanding City. Who would have thought that the inheritance of your goblin clan happened to be in a land occupied by humans. And you've been obsessed with a place that has been designated a forbidden place for humans for so many years? ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Ming paused, turned his head to stare into Sikeut's eyes, and continued: "Since everything that can be done has been done. I had to go back to the previous question. How do you find Lucy? The answer I came up with was to leave a message here and set off for our original destination.

But what if Lucy keeps wandering around? How did it get the message I left and know where I was going? So I came up with a solution. Since the presence of your goblins will make it dare not set foot here easily, then I will destroy this place completely.

When it sees an empty and destroyed village, it will know that I am present. At worst, it will come in and take a look. You think I'm right, right? Pretty logical, right? ”

Looking at Zheng Ming, who had a flat face in front of him and said extremely cruel and ruthless words, Sikowut only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and a chill soaked in the bone marrow rushed to the back of his head. It quickly fell to its knees and begged loudly for mercy.

"Your Excellency. Adult, please be magnanimous. We weren't involved in Lucy-sama's business! ”

"yes. You're innocent, you're just watching Lucy get under siege, what's wrong with you? You don't have a choice, do you? But for me, Lucy is a companion and a pillar of my heart. What are you? Dispensable scenery? If slaughtering you all will increase the odds of Lucy and me, why not? ”

Zheng Ming, who seriously expounded the cruel facts, made Siscout's heart tremble, and the other party's Gujing Wubo's eyes and flat and straightforward tone left a huge shadow in Sikout's heart.

Sweating profusely, he was thinking about how to save his life, and his mind suddenly flashed, and he quickly kowtowed his head, and shouted in a trembling voice: "I can dismiss the goblins in the village." As for me, I swear to follow your lordship to the death. At the disposal of adults. If you want to kill, you have to listen to it. ”

Time passed quietly with the sound of Sikout's kowtow, and he didn't even have to look up to feel the scrutinizing gaze that fell on him.

Just when his heart was almost burst, Zheng Ming's chuckle sounded, and a soft voice came and drilled into his ears.

"I may also have some ties to your race. How could I possibly do such a thing as slaughtering a village? You're in a good way. ”

"Your Excellency is wise. Lord Xie bypassed his life. ”

"So, what are you waiting for? Kneeling and waiting for dawn? Why don't you go soon? ”

"Oh, the villain is going to dismiss the villagers and let them go to other villages."

"Oh, remember to tell them I'll keep the clones, and if I find out they're back, then I can't guarantee what will happen."

"Yes, sir."

"You can follow me after you dismiss them. It just so happens that I lack a minion. Oh yes. Goblins affect my mood, and then you can revert to your old name of Beagle. ”

"Lord Xie, give the clan name."

"No, you called this in the first place, but I didn't give it to you. And before I change my mind, hurry up and don't kneel around here. ”

Sikewut was about to salute and say goodbye, but seeing that Zheng Ming, who was glaring at him, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly got up and left.

The village, which had finally fallen into a deep sleep, was suddenly awakened by the sound of squirting in the quiet night.

I saw that there were fires lit up in the darkness, and the goblins with torches lined up in a long line, and their faces were numb, and they walked out of the village without saying a word, and scattered in all directions.

The cruel reality of this world was once again clearly displayed in front of Zheng Ming's eyes. Looking at the weak backs, looking at the helplessness, sadness, and even numbness revealed in them, it sighed in a low voice.

"Weak can only be submissive, and only when you become strong can you make a choice."
