Sophia was held like this by Adam for the first time, and refused to come out of Adam's arms. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Adam comforted Sophia softly along the way, and Sophia responded coquettishly from time to time, still stubbornly burying her head in Adam's arms. Adam could only look at her helplessly, he might have frightened her today, so let's follow her little temperament.
At this time, Alan stepped forward at an inopportune time and whispered, "My lord, Colby has followed, and he said that he wants to see your lordship." "Adam touched his chin, does this guy dare to follow? Aren't you afraid I'll be angry? Let Alan stab him into a Schott brand dwarf string of incense?
Adam lifted his chin and commanded, "Let him come over and see what he has to say." ”
Alan nodded and stepped back, and Colby stepped forward with a flattering smile. "What are you doing here?" asked Adam lightly.
Colby stepped forward with a cheap smile, gave Adam a courtesy, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Colby is here to thank you!"
Adam Qi said, "Thank me for what?"
Colby laughed, "Of course Lord Xie did these things today!" Adam laughed, "Thank me, thank me, thank you for abolishing your brother?"
Colby smiled even more happily: "Brother, no, no, no, my lord is wrong, my father only has one son, Colby Short! From this day on, my father will only have one son!"
But this Colby is too villainous to be ambitious, and he actually ran over to thank him like this, not afraid of being known by his brother and father?
Adam thought of what Colby had said before, and asked, "Then why did you intercede with Morris before?
Colby nodded, and said as a matter of course, "Yes, I am looking forward to his death, and it is better to die sooner! However, after all, he is a Schott dwarf, if I don't stand up for a superficial position at that time, the clan will definitely have rejection feelings towards me, which is not conducive to me taking over the position of patriarch in the future!" Adam was speechless, this guy looked confident, as if the position of the patriarch of the Schott dwarf was already his.
But it's not stupid, Adam nodded: "Is there anything else?" Adam ordered the eviction of the guest, and he really didn't want to see the Schott dwarf, which affected his mood very much!
Colby also saw Adam's slight rejection, thinking that he could get close to and build a good relationship these days, all ruined by that idiot of Morris! Sighing slightly in his heart, Colby said to Adam sincerely: "Lord Adam, I have one more thing to do, that is, I want your support, I hope you don't care about that idiot of Morris! Don't let him affect your opinion of the Schott dwarfs." ”
Adam raised his eyebrows and said noncommittally: "Yes, support you as the patriarch, do you still need me to support you?"
Colby smiled and said, "At all times, you are my backer! Whether Colby is the patriarch or not, my reverence for Lord Adam remains the same!"
It's too exaggerated, isn't it, there's no need, what are you worried about? With my sense of you, I won't settle accounts after you become the patriarch, as for Morris, when this thing becomes the patriarch, it is estimated that Morris will not end well. What the hell are you worried about? Colby!
Adam was puzzled, Colby smiled slightly: "Colby will always have his heart to Lord Adam!" and then retreated.
Adam looked at Colby in the distance speechlessly, wondering, this guy didn't look right today. Colby's influence on Adam has always been timid and flattering, but today it feels strange, and Adam's intuition is that Colby is not as simple as it seems.
Colby is indeed not simple, at least not simple, from the beginning to the end of seeing Adam, his eyes have been sneaking at the people of Blackstone Town. Powerful Alan and the Hundreds, the absentees looked at the lord's adoration colors and visceral respect. all made Calby look up to Adam more than a notch. Colby has not been able to gain Adam's trust and enter the inner circle of Blackstone Town, and today he can't bear to imply that Adam has a loyal heart!
He could see Adam's doubts, why? Colby couldn't say, but the reason was not clear, and he wasn't sure. But for potential risk factors, he will get used to finding a way back for himself, and his back road is Adam.
As for Sophia, Colby had never seen the little girl peeking out of Adam's arms from the beginning to the end, completely ignoring the outside world and ******** pounced on Adam.
Just a sister?, Colby was skeptical.
Adam shook his head, he didn't want to figure it out, even if Calby didn't know what the conspiracy was holding, it would be useless, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery was a paper tiger!
Adam waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go back to Blackstone!
......
These days, the life of the Short Gnomes has not been easy, after the Incident of Blackstone and the Short Gnomes entering the Morris incident, the two sides have quickly entered the Cold War period from the honeymoon period that has just begun! This made the gnomes who were building a wall in the territory of Blackstone Town uneasy, and they wanted to go home, but they didn't dare to bring it up!
To the helplessness of the Levai chief, the grain trade was suspended, but the delivery of pygmy craftsmen to Blackstone Town did not stop, and Adam sent someone to spread the word that there were not enough craftsmen to build the wall in Blackstone Town, and asked Livai to hurry up and send another batch up.
Livai was helpless and distressed, working for people in vain, and the food had not yet been obtained. However, Levi still sent people up honestly, and he didn't dare to offend Adam now, it was really pushing him to the opposite side, it would be more than worth the loss! No, it would be self-defeating. Lately, Levi has had a headache at the thought of the kobold's imminent move.
Assigned the task of exporting craftsmen to Colby, Levay himself went to the border of the territory to sit in the town, and was ready for the battle, for fear that the kobold would fight a blitzkrieg, and Levai also thought about the reason why the kobold were ready to move, and finally it was due to the recent leakage of the news of trading grain with the humans of Blackstone Town.
Although they have some of the grain they traded before, the amount is not large, and the kobolds don't know it, they will think that the dwarf territory has a lot of ground food. How delicious is the ground food! If Levay knew that the kobold had a lot of ground food, he would be tempted!
At the Blackstone Town Wall. Adam had just sent Colby away, and had instructed Eston to put the gnome craftsmen down and get them into working condition as soon as possible. At the same time, let Eston calm the mood of the dwarf craftsman, who has been obviously a little uneasy lately, which has affected the progress of the work.
Every time this Colby sent someone over, he had to nag for a long time, either hinting at his intention to belong to Adam, or nagging about how sad and miserable the dwarfs had been in their last days, hoping that Adam would send some more food!
Adam turned a deaf ear to this, and every time he picked up someone, he let Alan send him off, and in the face of Ellen's spear and force, Colby had no choice but to return with a feather.
Adam inspected the wall, well, the speed is okay, in just two months, it is almost half of the construction, and it is estimated that it will be about the same in another half a month. In order to test the quality of the wall, Adam deliberately found a large stone hammer for Alan to try twice. With Allen's enormous force, the walls remained untouched, and Adam was quite satisfied with the results of the Shortt gnomes.
Adam has nothing to do these days, so he takes out his manual and reads books related to the lord, trying his best to absorb knowledge, or pondering the attributes of Sophia, Allen and others. Allen's force this time gave Adam a more intuitive embodiment, although the number of points is only about ten points, but the force shown is very considerable!
While learning and trying his best to familiarize himself with the system, Blackstone Town is becoming more and more prosperous, and Adam also feels that the burden on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, and nearly a thousand people will point to him to eat, if he doesn't work hard, he can't do it!
The recent increase in the popularity of the people in Blackstone Town is still very objective, it has increased to 4600/10000 in the past two months, an increase of less than half, and another upgrade is just around the corner!
While Adam was thinking about how to plan for the upgrade, while learning knowledge attentively, a big event suddenly happened in the Short Gnome Territory!
The kobold man has attacked! The old patriarch Levay who was sitting on the border was attacked by the kobold master and fled back with serious injuries, and the Short gnomes on the border of the territory were defeated!
The eldest prince Colby is in danger!
Quickly rebuild the defensive line, and make a bold decision to use a dwarf warrior who had been ambushed behind the border earlier to desperately contain the attack, and at the same time send an envoy to ask for help from Adam, the lord of Blackstone Town!
