Chapter 1881: Change
My words are heavy, but not alarmist.
After hearing this, the faces of more than a dozen people in front of him were not good-looking.
Several of them couldn't wait to retort: "Could it be that if we change hands to the orc king, we can guarantee that we will not be persecuted?" β
"I can only guarantee that this orc king will treat you well" I looked at him without showing weakness and said calmly: "As for what will happen to the next orc king, I am not sure. β
"If that's the case, why should we give up our current lives in pursuit of a future that may not necessarily be better?"
"I didn't force you to give up your current life, I just told you that His Majesty the current Orc King can reinvent the glory that you have been deprived of, but I never guarantee that the next Orc King will do the same" I spread my hands and shook my head: "People's hearts are fickle, take the Carter family as an example, Carter Adams definitely couldn't imagine that his grandson would do something to the descendants of his companions, and he couldn't imagine that from his grandson to Carter Houghton, no descendant would change his mind, Treating the descendants of your former companions with kindness has intensified and persecuted you again and again, all of which you did not expect, right? β
Several of them bowed their heads slightly, expressing deep approval.
I continued to fan the flames and said, "Let's put the Carter family aside and talk about your family. β
A dozen people looked at each other, then at me.
My gaze swept over their faces one by one, and then I said slowly: "If my expectations are correct, the reason why you, including most of the descendants of legendary heroes, did not choose to leave their homeland, feelings are one thing, and more importantly, on the other hand, that is, you have always been looking forward to the Carter family to produce a city lord who is willing to treat you well, right?" β
Half of the people present had their eyes flickering and fell into deep thought, and the other half had solemn faces and nodded.
"But, you have also seen, Carter Horton will definitely not treat you well, now the most likely to take over the position of the Carter family, only the eldest young master and the second young master of the Carter family, the character of these two people must also be known to you, the eldest young master is cruel, his own strength is weak, and he will definitely not pay too much attention to the adventurer, the second young master's strength is slightly stronger than the eldest young master, but in terms of cruelty, the second young master is better than the eldest young master, any of these two will succeed the emperor, Your family will not end up better than it did under Carter Houghton. β
"Carter Horton was also a despicable and shameless person when he was a prince, and even did not hesitate to mutilate his siblings before succeeding to the throne, his character is so unbearable, after succeeding to the throne, he did not torture the descendants of our legendary heroes, but began to pay attention to us, in order to envelop us legendary heroes, he even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, promised a high position, isn't this not a proof of the change of the Carter family?"
Listening to this man's generous speech, looking at his moving expression, and rich body language, I couldn't help but feel sad for his innocence.
If Carter Horton really had the heart to envelop the descendants of legendary heroes, he would not only promote a few of them, what he did was just to appease the descendants of those legendary heroes with naΓ―ve thoughts with small favors, and give them the illusion of 'follow me to eat meat', so that they would have scruples and dare not make trouble.
Before I could refute the young man's generous statement, someone immediately stood up, raised an eyebrow at him, and said, "If Carter Houghton really valued the descendants of the legendary heroes, we wouldn't be here to talk to the messenger now, because it was because of his inaction and refusal to treat us well that we would be here at this moment, didn't we?" β
A few people were silent, a few people agreed, and the young man who had generously stated before rolled his eyes and said: "Policies and everything need to be adjusted little by little, to change, this is the same as eating, I believe that everyone is here today, it is true that they can't see the future and hope, but like I said, Carter Horton has changed his mind and began to treat us well, this is hope, that is, a bright future, we should not betray the Carter family again, but turn to the command of the orc king, everyone should not forget." , the orc king is an orc, not a human race, and will not treat us sincerely! β
When the idea of race is put on the table, many things start to get hard.
The dozen or so people in front of them all have a strong sense of race, many of them have long been disappointed in the Carter family, and the real reason why they have not left is that they look down on foreigners, in their opinion, foreigners are barbarians, rather than taking refuge in foreigners and enjoying glory and wealth, it is better to continue to stay in Ari City and suffer, at least they don't need to bear the notoriety of being a traitor to the human race.
It seems to me that the supreme glory in the eyes of these people is particularly nonsense.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation have become problems, and they still cling to their paranoid obsessions, isn't this stupid what else can it be?
This time, I have to recruit not only powerful adventurers, but also smart adventurers, as for foolish paranoia, let them fend for themselves, anyway, I don't want to use it, I don't plan to use it, and I can't afford to use it.
I was not allowed to open my mouth, and the middle-aged man who had previously refuted the young man launched an offensive against his generous statement again, and the two sides went back and forth, arguing for two hours, draining a dozen glasses of juice, and finally finishing their respective views.
After that, when it was time to choose a side, more than half of the dozen or so people stood with the young people, all of whom had similar ideas, preferring to be poor rather than in the company of foreigners, and the remaining half stood with the middle-aged people, who said that although they would not be loyal to the orc king, they could choose to pledge allegiance to me, but only if I helped them restore the glory of their ancestors.
That's no problem, there's no difference between being loyal to the Orc King and being loyal to me, even if the Orc King refuses to give them glory, I can find a way to persuade the Orc King to comply through the old duke and others.
After all, on the surface, this is an act that has far-reaching significance for the future development of Dasai City.
In the end, those who chose the youth were sent out of the magic airship base by me, and gave them a lot of travel expenses, after all, traveling across the city to make an appointment was tiring, and they couldn't let them suffer.
The rest of those who have decided to be loyal to me will stay on the magic airship for the time being, and I will take them to Dasai City and send them to the new Valor Guild with my own hands.
These people are the future backbone of the New Heroic Guild, and they are tasked with fighting against all organizations that are enemies of me, and I naturally want to be as kind to them and their families as possible.
In the next few days, many more people came one after another, and I sent them away one by one in a magic airship.
But after the initial successful recruitment, a series of difficulties followed.
