Chapter Forty-Eight: The Secret of Becoming Stronger
readx;
Under the leadership of the two kobolds, soon, everyone in Blackstone Town came to the territory of the black power kobolds. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At a glance, only the remnants of houses and the ashes of the bonfire remained in the kobold territory, and the kobold territory was still quite large, and it was estimated that there were nearly two thousand when the personnel were complete.
There wasn't a single kobold in the whole territory, it was empty and quiet.
Adam muttered in his heart, this place is really abandoned, and Heili really took his people away?
Adam felt that his IQ was a little insufficient, and he couldn't figure out the significance of the kobold's actions.
Adam ordered to go down and send some soldiers to inspect this kobold territory, check the situation, and see if there is anything valuable to bring back by the way, after all, Blackstone Town is not particularly rich, so don't waste the materials that can be used. Adam deliberately told the warriors to work in groups of three, just in case there was a sneak attack or remnants of kobolds.
Alan stayed, and Colin was ordered to go down and sweep the kobold territory.
Adam looked around, but there was no place to sit but to stand. Alan saw Adam's move and was about to send someone to move a few rocks over for Adam to sit and rest, Adam waved his hand and refused, not so pretentious, just stand.
Adam waved at the two kobolds and motioned for them to come.
The two kobolds approached Adam tremblingly, lowered their heads and shrunk their necks and asked Adam, "My lord... What do you want us to do?"
I really don't know what scares me about them, and I scare them.
Adam smiled a little, trying to make himself look kind: "Don't be afraid, I'm just asking you something, what's your name?"
"Hui sir, we don't have names. It's just that the two kobolds lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Adam, and Adam's kind attitude was naturally in vain.
"No name, what do the people usually call you?" Adam was dumbfounded, how could there be a dog, a dog leftover, or something.
Not to mention, Adam really thinks that these two names are quite suitable for these two kobolds.
"We don't have any names except Lord Heili, and neither do our clansmen. The kobold replied honestly.
Adam asked, "How do you tell each other apart?"
The two kobolds looked at each other, and they could tell each other, and they naturally didn't understand that in the eyes of humans, all kobolds looked the same. Just like in the previous life, the older generation looked at crooked nuts like the same face.
They replied, "My lord, we can usually distinguish other clansmen, but they don't have names, at least the kobolds under Lord Heili don't have names, and I heard from others that some kobold tribes will have names." ”
They really haven't thought about such a thing, and since the day they were born, they have been hungry every day, and who has the time to worry about whether they have a name or not.
"Why don't you have one?" asked Adam insistedly, what a, there should be a hammer or something, or just start one.
One of the kobolds explained in a calm tone: "My lord, we don't know when we will die because we are fighting for food in search of food, and names have no effect on us, filling our stomachs." ”
There was an indescribable sense of sadness under the calm tone, but the kobold had become accustomed to this cruel life.
Adam sighed, his heart was still not hard enough, and he was still a little touched to hear such words.
There is no point in continuing to ask, Adam also understands, among the underground races that lack food, there are countless races or their people die every day because of the competition for food, many underground races have no name, and for them, names are really not as valuable as a mouthful of carrion!
Anyway, no one knows who will live until tomorrow, the name is meaningless, and the surname inheritance will naturally be gone.
Adam suddenly remembered that Colby had mentioned to him about the kobold's great strength, and asked, "You are stronger than before, and what is the reason for this?"
The two kobolds said with calm faces: "Lord Hui, this is because Lord Heili transferred the power of the elder and younger kobolds of our tribe to us, so our strength is stronger than before. ”
"Transfer power? What does that mean? What about the kobolds who are transferred?"
"Dead. There was a hint of indifference in his tone, and his eyes only looked at Adam's awe, but there was no trace of nostalgia for his dead people.
Adam was shocked, and then he understood, it turned out that it was the black power that sacrificed the old, young, sick and disabled kobolds in his tribe to improve the strength of the kobold warriors, and this was the secret of their strengthening!
Sacrificing his people, Adam couldn't imagine and accept such a fact, if it was him, he thought that in this regard, he was not as good as the black power, it was too cruel!
"How did you transfer power, and how did you die?"
"We don't know, Master Black didn't say it, and we don't know how they died. ”
"The victims also include young kobolds?"
"Yes, my lord! The kobold replied.
Adam felt that he was becoming more and more unacceptable, is Black Power crazy!
"Don't you think it's cruel? Don't you hate Black Power for doing this? The people who were sacrificed may have your friends and relatives!"
Adam blurted out and asked, he couldn't understand the indifference shown by the two kobolds, it was understandable that they were cold and cruel to their enemies, but should they also be so indifferent to their own people?
The two kobolds had a hint of wonder in their eyes, why did this human lord ask like this, he looked as if he was angry.
The kobold replied cautiously, completely unaware of where he had made Adam angry: "Lord Heili said that they will die sooner or later if they live, so it is better to do something for the rest of the clan before they die, such as making us stronger." ”
Indeed, Adam knew that what they said was true, the underground races have always followed the law of the jungle of survival of the fittest, which is more direct and cruel than the competition between races and nations on the ground, take the kobolds as an example, most kobolds do not survive to middle age, because as their physical fitness declines with age, these old kobolds will not be able to find enough food and will die sooner or later. No one will pity them, even if they don't have to worry about food, they will die because of other dangers.
But why should young kobolds be sacrificed? Don't you know that the juveniles are the hope for the continuation of any race? Where does the juvenile come to adulthood! Where does the race perpetuate!
Adam couldn't imagine what prompted Black Power to do such a crazy move.
Although they are rivals of each other, they are both lords!
Adam was sure that Blackpower's actions would only bring destruction to the kobold tribe, and would not change for the better.
Adam suddenly felt a sense of sorrow, for the underworld race, for the sorrow and injustice.
Although he knew that he was not qualified to think like this, Adam still felt that God was not absolutely fair, why the underground race was born much more humble than the ground race, and the living environment was much more cruel.
It's like in the past life or now, there are always people who are born with a higher starting point than others, and the goal that others strive for in their lives may be easily obtained by some people just by touching their mouths.
Kobolds regard food as more important than life, and compete for food and find food for the sake of their own strength!
And food, for some terrestrial races, such as some agricultural countries, can't even be sold at a low price!
Regardless of the reason, Adam could not agree with what Black Power had done. Killing young people, in the terrestrial race, no stupid lord would do this! As long as there is a shred of sanity, he will not do such a self-defeating thing.
As a lord, Adam is now gradually learning some simple truths. For example, the continuation of the race, the inheritance of the bloodline!
This is something that any race will put first in any period!
This will never change, neither now nor in previous lives!
Adam's sorrow came naturally from the bottom of his heart, and it was irrepressible, he was not sympathetic to the kobold, but he felt that fate was cruel and upright, and aggressive!
The kobold's experience was in front of him, and Adam couldn't help but think, if he hadn't been lucky enough to have the manual and summon Allen in the first place, would Blackstone Town also be brutally eliminated?
If it weren't for Sophia, wouldn't the people of Blackstone also be reduced to poor people who only have food in their eyes?
Without the potential altar and blacksmith shop, will the people of Blackstone be looked down upon by kobolds or even gnomes, and eventually lead to destruction!
For a moment, Adam was a little touched and lacking in interest, and now he just wanted to wait for the soldiers to return from the sweep and return to Blackstone as soon as possible.
Adam was dumbfounded, did not continue to ask, and waved his hand to let the warriors lead the kobolds down, Adam felt that such kobolds were no longer worthy of being an intelligent race.
You can be intellectually low, or you can be physically weak! But if you lose even the most basic life instincts, it only means that you are degrading! The whole race is degrading
It's not even as good as an ordinary beast, at least the tiger poison doesn't eat children!
A race that does not hold on to itself, lost in the fear of lack of food, loses its self......
Alan always paid attention to these surroundings and Adam, Alan was the first to notice Adam's depressed mood, and Alan also heard Adam's conversation with the kobold next to him, he didn't know why these conversations made adults unhappy, although he also hated the kobold's behavior.
But if the adults are unhappy, it's your fault!
Alan glanced at the warrior casually, and the warrior who led the kobold down nodded slightly at Allen, understanding what Allen meant.
Dare to make adults unhappy, you two kobolds are simply looking for a fight on your own!
Adam looked down and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, the two kobolds were brought back.
The two kobolds were half-crouched far away from Adam, panting and moaning in pain. I can't help it, my body hurts too much, it hurts everywhere! I don't say anything else today, I was beaten and I was full.
Time flies quickly, and the warriors sent out to sweep return, and the return of the warriors awakens Adam.
Adam looked at the return of the warriors, most of them were empty, and it seemed that the kobold territory was also very poor, and there were no supplies to use.
Adam glanced at the two kobolds.
Huh, why do they have blue noses and swollen faces?
Before Adam could ask Alan, Colin had already walked over with an object in his hand.
