Chapter Fifty-Seven: Colby, You Stay

"The arrangement of food, for the time being, will be done according to Stewart's suggestion!"

"Stewart is right, the gnomes are part of Blackstone Town, and humans can't just let the gnomes build their own homes, they are also the people of Blackstone Town, and they must help each other!"

Sophia reworked a plan to grow food, and on the premise of ensuring that there would always be enough food in Blackstone, she avoided what Stewart had said, and that she wanted to avoid creating an uneven distribution of work. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Adam put it mildly, after all, he was his own people, and Adam was disgusted to use words such as lust, depravity, and betrayal to describe them.

The average Stewart was stunned, and then understood what Adam meant. Uneven distribution of work?Interesting vocabulary......

"As for the Blackstone Armyโ€”" Adam paused for a moment and glanced at Allen, who was standing next to him.

Alan seemed to be aware of this, looked up at Adam, and wondered, did the Lord have any orders?

Alan didn't care at all whether the army was under his control or not, he was more concerned about the safety of the adults and the orders given by the adults!

"The affairs of the army continue to be managed by Allen, as for whether to train the magic gunners and the spear team separately, it is up to Allen to decide!"

Adam made a categorical decision: "Do you still have any objections?", looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Stewart.

"Yes!"

It's Stewart again!

Adam stared at him, and Stewart smiled and said, "Your Excellency forgot about the formation of the Guards." โ€

From Adam's tone, Stewart could tell that Allen's position would not waver.

Adam was reluctant to hand over his army to anyone but Allen, not even Colin or Mario, whom Allen had brought out.

The clever Stewart didn't intend to dwell on the issue, instead he was more concerned about Adam's well-being. In the past few days, Stewart has heard a lot about Adam's deeds, from facing the berserkers of Bismarck, to leading people down the mines, fighting kobolds, leading troops to support Allen, and so on.

This lord is an idle lord! Completely disregarding his own safety! The guard must be formed!

"Words of the Guardsโ€”" Adam mused.

Blackstone Town's military strength is insufficient, so Adam doesn't really want to set up a guard group, and Adam feels that whether or not he can set up a guard group will have no effect on him.

"My lord, I am willing to be your bodyguard and protect your safety!"

Alan turned to Adam and bowed half-bowed.

"Bring your soldiers! The guards won't be your turn yet!" Adam glared at Alan, who bowed his head and stepped back.

In Allen's heart, Allen actually prefers to be Adam's bodyguard than to lead troops to war.

Adam touched his chin and thought.

"Well, let Colin be my guard. โ€

"My lord, Colin alone is not enough to protect your safety, should I send some soldiers?" said Stewart.

Adam interrupted him, "No need! Colin alone is enough, and now Blackstone's forces should not be wasted elsewhere." โ€

Stewart sighed and fell silent.

For the time being, Stewart assists Eston with civil affairs. Do you have any other opinions?" Adam continued to add to the unfinished arrangement, his eyes glancing at the crowd.

Everyone responded in unison, except Colby who looked around.

Everybody has a task, but what about me?

Okay, I see, I'm sure I'm still dealing with the affairs of the clan, but the adults didn't say anything.

Colby shrugged his shoulders and joined in unison.

The affairs of the people were finely adjusted, and Stewart's power was taken back by Ada, who was sent to deal with civil affairs.

Adam's intention is also well thought out, Stewart's intentions are good these days, and his approach cannot be said to be incorrect, but he is in a just beginning stage of understanding many things in Blackstone Town, civil affairs, interpersonal relationships, etc.

The previous approach was very inappropriate, although Stewart had an initial intelligence of up to thirty-one, but for Blackstone Town, he was still a stranger, and what he needed to do now was not to deal with many affairs, but to integrate into Blackstone Town as soon as possible and be recognized by everyone!

Stewart was very calm about Adam's orders, and it should be said that he behaved calmly from the moment he entered the door to the end.

"If it's okay, let's go down and do things. Adam pinched his eyebrows, he didn't actually feel much tired, he just had a headache about these things in Blackstone. If the time comes, he'll still leave everything to Stewart.

From recent events, Adam can understand that even if Stuart is a little inappropriate in dealing with human affairs these days, his vision and ability to deal with problems are far higher than his own!

Watch him again, and hope he doesn't let him down. Adam was in his heart.

Everyone retreated, and Sophia also walked out with her head down, at this time Adam's mood was not very good, and Sophia could see it.

At this time, it's better not to disturb my brother's coming.

Alan put the sword of Joius into the sheath and handed it over: "My lord, your sword." โ€

Adam took it and put it on the desk, Alan also stepped back, Stuart smiled at Adam, Shi Li stepped back, and caught up with Allen, not knowing what he was going to do with Allen.

Colby also turned and walked towards the door, and Adam glanced at him.

"Colby, you stay. โ€

Colby paused, turned and stood helplessly.

Adults aren't really going to listen to Stewart and get me out of my position... Am I not even able to keep the position of Patriarch of Short? Could it be that the Shortt Gnomes are going to break their inheritance today and be completely controlled by humans?

Just a casual guess makes Colby creepy, is the adult going to do something to the Shortt gnomes?

Also to the... In other words, no one wants to have uncontrollable factors in the territory. After all, most of the current gnomes still choose to obey the will of the patriarch Colby, and they are more respectful and grateful to Adam.

Think of the gnomes now, and think of the people of Blackstone.

Strength is no match for others, food, cloth and other materials have to rely on others, and the manufacturing methods of science and technology and magic inherited by the race are mastered by others, do you want Colby to fall out with Adam at this time? Not to mention whether the other dwarfs are willing or not, and whether Adam will be angry about it.

Even if Colby regretted that he had joined Adam in the first place, would he still be able to go back? Even if Adam let them go, would he want Colby to take the Shortt gnomes to abandon all the material support in Blackstone Town and return to the cold and cold underground alone in this cold winter?

Without warm cloth, without enough food to store, without strong force to protect them, this is pushing the people into the fire pit!

Besides, if he really wanted to let Colby leave Adam, he might not be willing, after all, Colby's loyalty to Adam was still quite high! But he was also unwilling to ask Colby to hand over the patriarchal duties so willingly.

Colby's heart couldn't help but feel some pessimism, why is there such a difficult thing in the world!

Loyalty to Adam, inheritance of the race, which is more important?

At this time, Colby felt at a loss.

Adam looked at Colby, from the moment Colby entered the door today, to when Stuart went out, Adam had been paying attention to Colby's facial expression, including several of his small movements, including his current expression.

Adam sighed deeply in his heart at this time, sometimes, loyalty does not mean everything.

Adam didn't really want to do anything to Colby, even if Stewart deliberately pointed out the importance and seriousness of the overhead Colby, Adam couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart!

Thinking about Colby's initial trust, the trust that entrusted the entire race to him, thinking about Colby's attitude of beating and scolding, Adam was reluctant to do this to Colby, he felt that it tarnished Colby's trust in himself.

But the more realistic question is before Calby: which is more important, ensuring the pure heritage of the race or loyalty to Adam?

At this time, Adam figured out one thing.

Some people's betrayal is very fast, one second they can be loyal, the next second because of something, a certain factor, they can decisively abandon loyalty, just because that matter is more important to him than loyalty!

It's like a phrase that Adam had heard in his life.

The so-called loyalty, that is just a bargaining chip for betrayal, is not enough!

Colby, is he such a person?
