Chapter 44: Honorary Patriarch
The chanting of the goblins lasted for a long time before it stopped, and Xiao Longchen bowed deeply in all directions again, before he said loudly: "Thank you for your trust and love, without your support, I would not have been able to produce such a powerful mecha on my own." So you don't need to say anything more in the future, after all, I have already regarded you as my own family!"
After Xiao Longchen said this, all the goblins fell into a short silence, and after a long while, the Gru patriarch said with an excited face: "Xiaoyou Longchen, do you really regard our goblin clan as your family?"
Xiao Longchen's mood was not calm at the moment, so he just nodded seriously.
After receiving his confirmed reply, the Gru Patriarch laughed heartily a few times, and then looked around at the clansmen above and said loudly: "Now, I officially announce the appointment of Longchen Xiaoyou as the honorary patriarch of our goblin clan, and in the future, his words will be equivalent to my words, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to Longchen Xiaoyou, he will no longer be a member of our goblin clan." We will not tolerate this matter!"
The voice of the Gru patriarch was categorical, and his expression was more serious than ever, but his decision was supported by the collective support of all the goblin people.
When they were silent before, they actually didn't know how to repay Xiao Longchen for this great favor, but when they heard the plan that Patriarch Gru came up with, they suddenly felt that Xiao Longchen deserved to be the honorary patriarch.
In front of Xiao Longchen's ability to show, no one would have any contempt for him because of his age.
Such a great favor is not an exaggeration to call it reinvention for the goblin clan, and today will be a historic day for their goblin clan.
Because on this day, they not only possessed a powerful weapon such as a battle-mounted mecha, but also ushered in the first honorary elder of a foreign race in history.
So the goblins all put down their work and gathered again in the goblin valley for an all-night party.
Compared with the previous time when he welcomed Xiao Longchen, this time the goblin people no longer had any mustard in their hearts, and Xiao Longchen also proved his friendship with the goblin clan with his practical actions, and won the heartfelt respect of all the goblin clans.
Maybe it's because Xiao Longchen has now become an astrologist, although he also drank more Baiguo wine this night, but in the end he didn't get drunk and unconscious.
It's just that at the end of the scene, Xiao Longchen's eyes looked a little misty, and he was able to return to his residence by himself.
After climbing onto the bed, Xiao Longchen did not lie down to rest, but endured the dizziness of his brain, took out a star stone again, held it in his hand and cultivated.
As wisps of cool energy poured into his spiritual consciousness, his somewhat swelling and aching head was quickly and effectively relieved due to the effect of alcohol.
He only practiced for about half an hour, and all the discomfort disappeared, making Xiao Longchen feel that his brain was unprecedentedly clear.
He enjoyed this feeling of controlling his power, because no matter how strong the external force is, no matter how high his status is, if he doesn't have enough strength himself, everything is just a joke.
Unconsciously, a whole night passed, and the moment Xiao Longchen opened his eyes, there were stars flashing in his eyes.
After habitually moving his body and eating some food to fill his stomach, Xiao Longchen came to the forge again.
Yesterday's successful experiment with a new type of battle suit mecha was an inspiring event for all goblins, so when Xiao Longchen came to the workshop, those forgers were already busy with energy.
When the goblin clansmen who were carrying components along the way saw him approaching him, they all stopped and bowed down, hurriedly put down the things in their hands, and saluted him respectfully: "I have seen the honorary patriarch......"
This kind of honor, even when they met the Gru Patriarch, would not be so solemn, which made Xiao Longchen feel a little unnatural, but he couldn't change the enthusiasm of the goblin people at all.
When the Patriarch of Gru saw Xiao Longchen coming, he also hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and after the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xiao Longchen said with a little twist: "Patriarch Gru, since we treat each other as family, can we also change this title?"
"Oh, if you have any proposals, you might as well say them. Patriarch Gru was also interested and asked with interest.
"Since they are all their own people, it is not appropriate to call them as raw as before. It's better to see if it's okay like this, in the future, I will call you Patriarch Grandpa like Balu and them, you can just call me by my name, and don't add a little friend to the back!" Xiao Longchen scratched his head a little embarrassed and said.
When the Patriarch of Gru heard this, he immediately smiled, in fact, deep in his heart, he had already regarded Xiao Longchen as his junior. The reason why he was still called with such a polite address was purely out of politeness.
At this moment, when he heard Xiao Longchen take the initiative to change his name, he was naturally very happy, so he patted Xiao Longchen's head affectionately and said, "Of course I won't have any opinions, grandpa, in fact, in my eyes, I have long regarded you as my junior!"
Hearing the Patriarch of Gru mention the title of "grandpa", Xiao Longchen subconsciously thought of his grandfather Long Tiancheng, and that kind and kind face appeared in front of his eyes, which made Xiao Longchen feel sad for a while.
His grandfather, father, mother, and the people he knew well, how are they doing now? I don't know if those friends who went to Clov will encounter any danger over there.
Xiao Longchen was still just a child after all, and when he thought of this, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Seeing Xiao Longchen's sudden expression, the smile on his face immediately froze there, and he hurriedly grabbed Xiao Longchen's shoulders and asked with concern, "What's the matter, child?"
"Hmm!" Xiao Longchen nodded, his voice choked.
"If you think about them, when this is the end of the matter, you can take the time to go back and have a look. When you appeared alone in the wilderness, I thought that there should be some conflict with your family. But after all, you are still young, and many things are not seen thoroughly by the elders, so it is better not to play with the temper of a child!" Patriarch Gru's face was also extremely kind, and it was only at this moment that he really said what was in his heart.
Xiao Longchen still couldn't tell the amiable old man in front of him too much, so he could only say vaguely: "My family is far away from here, and if I want to go back and reunite with them, I can only do it with stronger strength......
When the Patriarch Gru heard him say this, he thought that Xiao Longchen's home was far away from here, so he encouraged him a few more words.
After some enlightenment from the Gru Patriarch, Xiao Longchen's mood also improved a lot, and he smiled brightly at the Gru Patriarch before he opened his mouth and proposed: "Let's hurry up and work! Let the goblin warriors all be equipped with battle mechs as soon as possible, and we can also reduce some losses in the future beast tide." ”
When the patriarch of Gru heard this, he patted him on the shoulder again, and felt even more that this child was really well-behaved and sensible, and it was really rare to be able to have such a responsibility at such a young age.
Next, Patriarch Gru continued to forge those important parts, while Xiao Longchen continued to assemble a new battle mech.
After the previous incident, those forgers were all very attentive, and there was no more problem of unqualified parts size, and the assembly of Xiao Longchen was also carried out quite smoothly.
Because he already had a complete assembly experience yesterday, Xiao Longchen was also very handy when he started his work today.
After Xiao Xing instructed him to assemble the two, Xiao Longchen asked Xiao Xing not to remind him step by step, and when he made a mistake in assembly, he would just give a timely reminder.
At the end of the day, Xiao Longchen actually assembled four complete battle suit mechas. When he assembled the third one, there would be occasional assembly errors, but when assembling the fourth battle mech, although there was stagnation in several places, he also successfully completed the overall assembly of a battle suit mecha by himself after he seriously recalled.
