Chapter 131: Goblin Patriarch (2)
"You don't have this ability?" The patriarch looked at Zhao Yan suspiciously, faced everyone, smiled slightly, and said, "If you say that you are incapable, then who else here has the ability?"
Zhao Yan also realized that the reason he said was too modest, sorted out his thoughts, and added: "Patriarch, I thank you very much for your kindness, and I am very grateful that you look up to me. But...... The identity of the patriarch is really special, you know, the head of a clan, in addition to having the ability, is more important than the prestige in the clan. It's enough for me to ask if I'm a goblin elder, but if I want to be the patriarch, my prestige and qualifications are simply not enough. ”
"That's why I called everyone to discuss it. ”
The patriarch put Zhao Yan aside and said to the goblins, "I want to ask you, what is Yan's position in your mind?"
The goblins fell into deep thought, and Ba Kuxian, who was still the most straightforward in temper, said: "In my heart, Yan is a genius, he always has a lot of creativity and fresh ideas, and he also has quite good practical ability. ”
Ola thought about it and said: "What I admire most about Yan is his organizational and decision-making skills, and he is very good at grasping the overall situation. ”
The goblins successively said some opinions about Zhao Yan, all of which were praises and the like.
The patriarch turned his head and asked Dophos beside him, "Old Elder, what do you think?"
Duofus shook his head, looked at Zhao Yan's face carefully, paused for a while, and said leisurely: "Yan, he is the one who can lead our goblin clan to glory. ”
Doforus said a word, and the patriarch smiled.
The patriarch nodded, and said, "The old elder is the oldest, and what he said is the most appropriate! ”
The patriarch said, "What is the most important thing for our goblin clan at the moment? is survival, revitalization, and survival on the Aya Continent, and we must live well. I'm ashamed that I didn't make everyone do that, in Yan's words, the way we used to survive was called survival. However, Yan can do it, and he can always surprise us and give us hope. ”
"Patriarch, but ......," Zhao Yan interjected.
The patriarch raised his head, looked at Zhao Yan, and said, "Yan! don't doubt yourself, you will definitely do it." You have the talent of genius and good practical skills, you have strong organizational and decision-making skills, and you are the one who can lead the revitalization of the goblins. With all this, wouldn't you be qualified to be the patriarch of the goblin clan?"
"If you back down, it means you don't think you're a goblin. ”
"No!" Zhao Yan shouted: "I said it, although I am a human being, I have the blood of goblins flowing in my body, and I have also been baptized by the grace of the mother goddess, of course I am a goblin clan." It's just that...... Patriarch, our goblin clan is now in the most important stage of development, and we are not allowed to have contradictions and any disconcilable factors, so I have to see everyone's opinions on my appointment as the patriarch. ”
"You mean, if everybody supports you, you'll be fine?" asked the patriarch.
Zhao Yan is difficult to ride a tiger, and it can only be like this. "Yes. ”
"That's good. The patriarch faced the goblins and said, "Let's vote now, there are a total of twelve people including me, except for me and Yan, Kops, and the rest of the people who support Yan as the patriarch, please stand up." ”
After the patriarch finished speaking, all the goblins slowly lowered their heads, as if they were pondering.
Ba Ku is always the fastest and is the first to stand up.
It didn't take long for Ola to stand up as well, followed by Dopheus, Valer. Nine votes have been voted four, and there is only one vote left to decide.
However......
Under the patriarch's surprised gaze, the rest of the goblins almost all stood up at the same time, although the patriarch had affirmed Zhao Yan's prestige in his heart, he was still shocked at this moment.
You know, when he succeeded the patriarch by himself, although it was the **** era of the goblin clan at that time, not all the goblin elders supported him.
And the flame ...... The patriarch looked at the dumbfounded Zhao Yan and smiled slowly: "All nine votes have passed, Yan, is there anything else to say?"
Zhao Yan stood there stunned, with mixed feelings in his mind. He never wanted to covet any status of the goblin clan, and his contributions to the goblin clan were all willing. Zhao Yan needs a home, a place for him to settle down, a place to entrust his spirit, a place to pat his chest and say it from his mouth, and a place to care for him selflessly.
This is also the confusion and hesitation that Zhao Yan innocently traversed, which made him want to have a place called a writer in the new world.
Zhao Yan's first home when he came to Aya was Tababa Village, so he identified it as such. The village of Tababa is his home, the goblin tribe is his people, and the goblins are his relatives. Here, let him selflessly dedicate without regrets, here, let him quietly remember when he is the most lost and lonely, and here, is his truest destination on the Aya continent.
At this moment, Zhao Yan's heart only felt that the position of the patriarch was too precious, and he felt that he had goblins too much, which was beyond his psychological bearing.
However, in the face of everyone's choice and the promotion of the patriarch, he was extremely moved, what kind of spirit and emotion is this!
The only remaining tribe of a race, but the supreme scepter of the tribe is given to the people of another tribe.
This trust is beyond all else.
At the same time, this dependence is also beyond everything.
Zhao Yan deeply understands this.
Zhao Yan closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and when he opened his eyes again, there was another sharp look in his eyes. "I'll take over!"
The patriarch stroked his long beard and smiled with satisfaction.
After the meeting ended, the whole clan was preparing for the replacement of the new patriarch in the next few days, of course, this had nothing to do with Zhao Yan, it was all the Great Elder Doforus and the old patriarch who were busy.
Zhao Yan is still studying in his new house, and Zhao Yan's new invention has gradually taken shape.
Zhao Yan also understood the reason why the patriarch repaired a house bigger than him at this moment, in the patriarch's heart, in fact, this decision had already germinated.
Zhao Yan felt that the patriarch was great. For the sake of the nation and the people, he gave his life. Racking your brains and thinking hard.
But by handing over the patriarch's scepter to Zhao Yan, you can see his broad mind and determination to take the rise of the nation as his own responsibility.
Zhao Yan's heart has a deep respect for the patriarch. It was, it is, and it will be.
Three days passed, and when the matter gradually spread to the goblin grassroots, the response was also applauded one by one, and Zhao Yan's patriarch also reasonably belonged to the "peaceful transformation". The handover ceremony of the patriarch also began in front of the Mother Earth Goddess.
At noon, the sun was scorching over Tababa Forest, probably because it was too close to Manchester City. However, the dense foliage of the Earth Tree did not allow the scorching sunlight to wreak havoc under its territory, and the sunlight shone on the leaves of the Earth Tree, and through it was a gentle soft light.
The closest to the Earth Tree were Zhao Yan and the Patriarch, then the elders of the Goblin Clan, and then all the Goblins stretched outward. In less than a year, the number of goblins in Tababa Village has expanded from more than 1,000 when Zhao Yan first came to tens of thousands, squeezing the road between Zhao Yan's new home, that is, the future patriarch's house and the Earth Tree.
But fortunately, Zhao Yan's height is too dramatic compared to the goblins, and even the goblins standing in the last row can see the Earth Tree
Zhao Yan under it.
Under the instructions of the patriarch, tens of thousands of goblins suddenly fell silent.
The patriarch faced the tree of the earth, prayed sincerely, and uttered some words of blessing and the like. Then he told the Earth Tree about Zhao Yan's decision and reasons to succeed the patriarch, as if telling the Earth Mother God.
Next, the patriarch bowed to the Earth Tree and asked the Earth Mother Goddess if she would agree. At the same time, all the goblins in the audience followed the patriarch and bowed to the Earth Tree, naturally including Zhao Yan and Kopusi.
After a long pause, a gentle breeze blew on the leaves of the tree of the earth, and the "rustle" of the earthquake sounded. Seeing this, the patriarch hurriedly straightened his waist, smiled, and hurriedly bowed to the Earth Tree a few more times, and at the same time conveyed to the goblin clan behind him that the "move" just now was the mother goddess agreed.
Although Zhao Yan thought in his heart that the patriarch was pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, this thought immediately disappeared, although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but this was not the earth after all. Now in front of the Earth Tree again, this blasphemous thought could not be connected to his imminent transformation.
The patriarch approached the Tree of the Earth, turned to face Zhao Yan, bowed deeply, and then said, "Patriarch." ”
The next moment, all the goblins bent down towards Zhao Yan.
Loud voice: "Patriarch!"
Zhao Yan wondered for a while, that's it, I've become the patriarch?
The patriarch reminded: "Give thanks to our great Mother Goddess!"
After being reminded by the patriarch, Zhao Yan's face suddenly became serious, and he looked very skillful, bowing to the Tree of the Earth. The rest of the goblins also followed Zhao Yan and bowed to the mother goddess.
At this point, Zhao Yan became the supreme leader of the goblin clan.
When he dispersed, the patriarch took Zhao Yan's hand and continued to stay in front of the Earth Tree, even though his hand was so small compared to Zhao Yan's. Zhao Yan didn't even dare to exert a little more effort, for fear that this little hand would be easily pinched apart.
The two of them said some vows about the development of the goblins in front of the mother goddess, and finally, on the way out, the old patriarch said a serious word to the new patriarch. "Child, goblin...... It's up to you!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yan felt that the patriarch seemed to have a sigh of relief.
However, Zhao Yan was not polite, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Patriarch Grandpa, every patriarch is in charge of the treasures of the goblin clan......, right? Shouldn't you take me to see it?"
Zhao Yan smiled evilly.
