Chapter 60: Hope
"Hey, now we can finally be sure."
After Amanda and everyone went to rest, the clansman who was in charge of guarding the door in front of the tribe said with a smile,
This man was not the Angelardo they had met when they had returned, but it was obviously the rest of the shift. Maybe it's also because he finally saw Amanda and them come back, and this person's mood was obviously a lot lighter.
"Hehe, but it's good that the patriarch can come back safely, if something really happens to him, we really don't know what to do."
At this time, this person suddenly heard a person's voice behind him, although he had not yet seen the appearance of the person, but he could also tell who it was from the voice of the person.
"Brother An, you're here!"
The man immediately looked back with some joy, it was Ángelardo.
"Hmm!"
Hearing this person's words, Angelardo also nodded slightly, he looked at this person, and said slowly: "Russell, morning! ”
"Well, it's quite early, but Brother An, I'm on a shift today, how did you remember to be here."
"Can't I come?"
Hearing Russell's words, Ángelardo's expression suddenly had a joking "dislike", and Russell couldn't help but laugh and said, "How could that be." ”
"Haha!"
After listening to Russell's words, Angelardo also smiled, but soon his face sank again. He put his hand in front of him, and said on the guardrails made of wood.
"But speaking of which, the tribe can have its current size, and it depends on the patriarch, if it weren't for the god-given space that only the patriarch can open, I would even rather go for the patriarch than let him face danger."
“······”
Angelado's words made Russell's heart sink too, but he quickly changed his mind and said as if comforting himself: "But the patriarch can be chosen by the god Roy, and he must also be protected by the god Roy, so easy to have an accident?" ”
“···· Let's hope so! ”
Angelardo nodded, then fell silent.
For him, Russell, and even the entire tribe, Amanda's existence was no longer just a patriarch, but their hope.
In their hearts, they can't help but feel a wave of confidence in Amanda, which comes from the god Roy, but also from Amanda herself.
Perhaps human instincts will terrify them when facing Akuma, but the fear that the loss of Amanda brings to them will only go deeper than that.
If he could, there would definitely be more than one person willing to take Amanda's place to complete this task.
However, this task can only be done by Amanda.
"Hehe, I thought too much, didn't the patriarch come back?"
At this time, Angelardo suddenly put away the worry in his heart, and finally returned to his previous appearance, but he suddenly said to Russell: "By the way, how about we go and practice crossbow arrows?" ”
"But I'm still in charge of guarding!"
"Oh, yes," Angelado suddenly realized, but soon he thought of a solution: "I have a way, you can wait a minute." ”
Then, under Russell's curious gaze, Angelado climbed down from the lookout in three or two clicks, followed a few trots, and disappeared around a corner.
By the time Angelardo reappeared, more than ten minutes had passed, and Russell had also discovered that there was one more thing in Angelardo's hands.
It was a ring about thirty or forty centimeters in diameter, and the ring was of different colors from the outside to the inside, and at the innermost part of the ring was a red dot made of a red plant.
This is naturally the target that Amanda prepared for the practice of the tribesmen, and the target was in Angelado's hands, and it was also relaxed and light, and he dragged it casually.
Angelado trotted through the gate with quick steps, and then came out of the tribe, where he found a suitable tree, climbed it with ease, and then set the target in a suitable position.
"Hehe, let's just get a target, can't we?"
After all the movements, Angelardo finally nodded in satisfaction and said to Russell.
"Well, this... Not bad indeed! ”
"That's—" Angelado gestured to Russell with a 'victory' gesture, then climbed down and quickly returned to the lookout.
After a series of movements, Angelardo didn't seem to be overworked, and he didn't even breathe much faster, he put a large number of crossbow arrows that he brought at the same time, and then said.
"Let's prepare some more crossbow arrows, and when we're almost done, we'll pick them up, so that the guards can practice both, right?"
Russell smiled, agreeing with Angelaldo's approach, and then the two began to practice crossbow arrows in this projectile land.
***********
Time passed, and under Amanda's back and forth, the construction of the tribe was partially completed, and the number of houses at this time had increased from the first ten to twenty.
Although it has not increased much in terms of numbers, it should not be forgotten that the clansmen have not completely built houses, and they still have the outer walls to complete.
At this time, in one of the more than 20 houses, the three of them were busy with the work of the stone pot, and in this small room, there were already seven or eight stone pots neatly placed at this time.
Naturally, they had already learned that Amanda and they were back, but they didn't plan to bother Amanda.
"Brother is tired and needs to take a good rest." That's why Lara doesn't bother Amanda.
At this time, the little girl was obviously very satisfied, because in this room, there were a lot of imperfect toys, which she and Ji Yana and Yarrow took the time to make, and of course a large part of them were Lala's handiwork.
"I see, your heart has already flown over there."
Looking at Lala, who was a little absent-minded, Ji Yanna said with some amusement.
"Hmph, I didn't." Lara protested.
"Protests are ineffective."
Ji Yanna ignored Lala's protests, she chiseled a large stone from the embryo of the pot in her hand, and then carefully observed for a while, she was very satisfied: "Look, my pot is almost formed, and you are still far away." ”
"Oh, I'm working on it a little bit, then."
Lala, the little girl, was obviously a little unconvinced, she pouted and worked harder, but she still couldn't change the established facts.
"By the way, Ji Yannai, how many more pots like this need are needed?"
