Chapter 10: The Great Elder's Advice
After the Goblin Grand Elder finished speaking, he was slightly panting, struggling to move his fat body, took a sip of tea, and closed his eyes on the chaise longue again.
Its son, God, who is also the current patriarch of the Lulu clan, hurriedly pulled a blanket over the old man and covered it, glaring back at the prisoners in annoyance.
The lifespan of a goblin is only about one-third of that of a human, and its father is already over forty years old, which can be said to be an extremely long-lived goblin. But it has also run out of oil, and it may die at any time, and it has consumed a lot of energy by being forced to say so many things by the prisoners today.
However, Godd understood in his heart why the old goblin treated the prisoners so leniently, because the Red Gobi Continent was currently hovering in a floating city of elves.
Floating Cities are very courteous to the apostles they are preparing, but there are some differences in the details. After all, the floating city of the shattered starry sky belongs to a variety of intelligent races, including the mild-tempered elves, the capricious elemental lifeforms, the brutal trolls, and so on. Not every prospective apostle will immediately identify with the first floating city to receive him.
The more similar the race of the Floating City to the Preparatory Apostle, and the closer the worldview and values are, the higher the Apostle's sense of identity with the Floating City will be in the future. Even if this apostle becomes strong in the future, he will regard the first floating city that receives him as his second home. This kind of apostle is the most popular of all floating cities, and gives the best basic benefits.
Although humans and elves are not the same race, their concepts and forms are extremely similar, and they are already very ideal recipients. After all, it is difficult to find an apostle in the floating city for several years, and it is almost impossible to refuse to come, and he is not picky.
Once twelve humans from another time and space are sent to the Elven Floating City, the Lulu will be extremely richly rewarded. If you count the other gains from that otherworldly base, plus all the savings of the Lulu over the decades, they have a good chance of fulfilling the ultimate dream of all the "scavengers" tribe.
That is, to let some of the outstanding children in the tribe get the right to officially settle in the floating city. Floating Cities are small kingdoms built by the intelligent races that occupy the ruling class, and there are also many weak vassal races.
However, vassal races do not have formal settlement rights, and they can only temporarily enter the floating city and get shelter for a short time when they encounter a serious disaster.
The vassal races that have been given the quota of formal settlement must have made outstanding contributions to the floating city. This is an equal citizenship, and the floating city has the responsibility to provide these members with a series of survival rights such as raising, education, residence, and work, and their children will also be directly given the right of formal residence after birth.
It can be said that getting a certain amount of formal settlement rights in the floating city also gets the spark of continuing the racial inheritance, which is indeed an ultimate dream for a scavenger tribe like the Lulu tribe.
Of course, the Lulu could have forcibly imprisoned them and sold them to the floating city of the elves like slaves, regardless of the idea of these prospective apostles. After all, the twelve preparatory apostles in front of God, the most likely thing is that in the previous missions to the other world, they were directly wiped out, and none of them survived.
However, there is a chance in everything, and if some of the twelve human apostles grow up and hold a grudge against the Lulu, then the result is not what the Lulu want to see. It was not easy to get the official residency, and all those members would be assassinated by the apostles.
This is the main reason why the Great Elder of the Goblin will personally answer the questions of the prisoners and dispel their doubts, regardless of the danger of dying. The Lulu tribe, like the Floating City, gambled on the future, the untapped potential of these apostles.
Got the answer they wanted, but the prisoners were silent, and the atmosphere in the big tent was a little strange.
Speaking from the heart, the prisoners have nothing to do, and if they want to survive, they must get the help of the indigenous race, otherwise they will not even be able to get out of the Red Gobi, let alone the unknown mission of the other world in the future. However, being sold as goods, these murderous death row inmates are really a little unhappy.
"I know you're unhappy, but trust me, bad old man, the Elven Floating City is your best choice at the moment. As long as everyone is willing to go to the floating city, the Lulu people are willing to make amends to each distinguished guest afterwards, and give a lot of compensation. ”
After the prisoners digested the previous information, the Goblin Grand Elder opened his eyes again and spoke slowly, "These compensation will allow you to integrate into this world more quickly and prepare for otherworldly missions......
The prisoners glanced at each other, and the last words of the Great Goblin Elder finally impressed them. These goblins decide their fate on their own, but they are still good for survival. If you can take care of everyone's self-esteem and face, then it doesn't hurt to follow their arrangements.
"Can compensation be a choice for us? For example: your weapons and locomotives! Hansen's muffled words rang out among the prisoners.
"Of course you can, but for everyone's safety, weapons and locomotives can only be delivered in front of the doors of the floating city." The old face of the Great Goblin Elder finally smiled, "The other compensation can be cashed immediately, the currency, food, fresh water, and even the special mineral ...... of the Red Gobi in this world."
"Elder, those mineral ......" Gede was startled, and Huo Ran stood up.
"God, shut up! No matter how valuable the minerals are, the key is to let the guests see our sincerity! The old goblin grinned and smiled meaningfully, "Weapons, locomotives, minerals, all of the Lulu camps, you can choose whatever you want." If your guests need servants to serve, the Lulu can even provide a few young and beautiful female clansmen......"
After emerging from the tent of the Great Goblin Elder, the prisoners silently dispersed and walked towards their tents. The amount of information they got tonight was too great and needed to be digested. The Great Elder of the Goblins also seemed to know that they needed a little time to think, so he told them to come to him alone tomorrow to make amends.
After Qin Lun and the three returned to their tents, they quickly found a corner of the tent to rest. However, from the slight movements of the other two occasionally turning over, Qin Lun knew that they couldn't sleep just like himself.
Floating City, Apostle, Atlas Quest, Continental Wars...... All kinds of chaotic thoughts were spinning in his mind, and it was not until the dead of night that Qin Lun slowly entered his dream.
……
"Brother......" An ethereal soft call seemed to come faintly from outside the sky, Qin Lun's whole body trembled, he opened his eyes suddenly, sat up straight from his sleep, and suddenly found that Lin Feng and Xiaolian had already woken up and were discussing in a whisper.
"Did you call me just now?" Qin Lun asked in a deep voice with an ugly face.
"No! What's wrong? Lin Feng and Xiaolian looked at him at a loss.
"Nothing!" Qin Lun's face softened slightly, and he shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to shake something out of his head.
"This ...... Boss Qin Lun, you said we should ask for some compensation! Lin Feng asked cautiously.
"What do you want?" Qin Lun looked back at the playboy.
"I want one of their horn guns, maybe it will be good for us to carry out that otherworldly mission in the future, do you think it will work?" Lin Feng asked with a shy face.
Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Lin Feng with a smile. The psychology of the playboy is easy to see, after entering the floating city, everyone's survival is guaranteed to a certain extent, and young people no longer have to be forced to attach themselves to murderers. Being able to have a weapon to defend yourself will make you feel much more at ease.
"Your things, you decide for yourself, I won't interfere!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled gently.
"Thank you, Boss, I'll go find the Great Elder of the Goblins!" Lin Feng was overjoyed, quickly got out of the tent, and disappeared in front of the other two.
Idiot! Looking at Lin Feng's back, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Lun's mouth, but after turning his head, his face regained his gentleness, and he asked Xiaolian, "What about you?" What do you want from a goblin? ”
"I ...... I do not know! Xiaolian pouted, the baby's fat little face drooped unhappily, looking very listless, "If I really can't go back to our world, I want to stay with you!" ”
"Aren't you afraid that Joey will hurt you?" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and looked at the little nurse with some surprise.
"Afraid! I don't want to be alone, though! Xiaolian nodded with a sad face, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she remembered something, "At most, when you transform, remind me, so that I have time to run away!" ”
"I can't help it!" Qin Lun's gaze softened more and more, and he said softly, "If you haven't thought about what compensation you want, I can give you a Jianyi." Don't pick weapons and locomotives, don't want the currency of this world, go to the goblins and ask for something unique to them! ”
"Do you mean their ore?" Xiaolian asked curiously.
"It doesn't have to be an ore, as long as it's a special item unique to goblins......" Qin Lun grinned lightly, the smile on his face was like a spring breeze.
"Okay, then...... I'll go now! Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, then went out.
Qin Lun smiled slightly, there was food and fresh water sent by the goblins in the tent, and the food was still that kind of mashed potato thing, it seemed that the menu of these goblins was not rich. After washing his face, Qin Lun was not in a hurry to go out, sat on the ground, and slowly filled his stomach.
During this period, Lin Feng and Xiaolian both came back from outside, Lin Feng rubbed his hands, his face was full of irrepressible excitement, and it looked like he should have gotten what he wanted. Xiaolian couldn't see any expression, but the two pockets of the white coat were stuffed and bulging, and she didn't know what it contained.
Qin Lun lifted the tent, glanced up at the sky, and felt that the time was almost up, so he went out and walked towards the big tent where the Great Goblin Elder lived.
Last night, the Great Goblin Elder asked them to go to it alone to make amends, not only to give them time to think, but also to have another deep purpose.
Qin Lun returned to the tent and thought carefully, and finally found that this old guy had been in control of the right to speak all the time last night.
Although this is because the prisoners are eager to learn about this world, it is important to know that among them, there are also four murderers who are not in a stable mental state. The old guy was able to make the killers without any questioning with just words, and his skill can be seen.
It's so much fun! A smile flashed in Qin Lun's eyes, and under the gaze of the goblin guards, he lifted the curtain of the big tent......
