Adam, who had made up his mind, didn't bother with this matter anymore, but he reminded himself in his heart that he couldn't forget to use skills next time!

The devil knows if it will continue to accumulate after more than 10 months, and if Adam forgets it again, and it happens to continue to accumulate again, then Adam feels that he will be driven crazy by his obsessive-compulsive disorder if he continues like this!

Today witnessed the war between the Short dwarf and the kobold, although Adam did not personally participate in the war, but he tensed a nerve to witness the rapid changes in the war, which made Adam's spirit more tired, back to the mansion, Sophia has not returned, Adam can't wait any longer, dragging his heavy and tired body and eyes directly back to the room to sleep.

The next morning, while Adam was still asleep, he was woken up by Sophia, who shook Adam awake.

Adam barely opened his hazy sleepy eyes and looked at Sophia suspiciously, and Sophia told Adam the shocking news: "The patriarch of the dwarf died last night!"

Adam was stunned: "Dead?

Sophia accentuated: "The patriarch of the Short gnomes, Levay Short, is dead!" Adam heard clearly, Levay died last night!

"Who killed it!" Adam immediately thought of whether it could be the kobold attacking again!

"The dwarfs sent messengers, saying that they had died in a coma last night because of their serious wounds. ”

Adam was stunned when he heard this, and died of serious injuries.

Hurry up and pack up, ready to go to the dwarf territory to see the situation.

The careful-minded Sophia had long known that Adam would definitely go to the dwarf territory after knowing the news, and had already arranged for ten Blackstone Town warriors to wait at the gate of the mansion to escort Lord Adam to the dwarf territory.

When Adam hurried to the Short Gnome Territory, Colby was presiding over the funeral.

The funeral of the Schott gnomes was very simple, and there were some similarities with the funerals of the previous life, the same cremation, Adam accompanied a group of gnomes to pray silently over the burning corpse, and then Colby sprinkled the ashes of Livai's body under the corner of the house where the patriarch lived, and the whole funeral was over, but the Schott gnomes were still immersed in an atmosphere of grief.

For Levii, Adam did not have much contact, except for the simple alliance and the occasional meeting, and Livai's biggest impression on Adam was that he was a good father and a dutiful patriarch. Hell-bent on leading the Schott Gnomes back to their former glory.

When Colby was done with everything, he found Adam and the two entered the room to talk.

Adam asked Colby straight to the point, "What are you going to do next when your father is dead, and who is the patriarch now?"

Colby took a deep look at Adam and said, "According to the tradition of the Forest Continent, I am the eldest prince, inheriting the position of patriarch, and since my father died yesterday, I have been the patriarch of the Schott dwarfs!"

Colby didn't answer Adam's first question right away, and Adam couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and complaining, okay, who told me before that when you became the patriarch, you would be attached to Blackstone!

As if sensing Adam's dissatisfaction, Colby bowed his head to Adam and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, don't worry! What Colby said must count! Now that Colby is the patriarch, for the sake of the future of the clan, the Schott dwarfs have decided to join you! I will go out and announce it to the clansmen later! But I hope that the adults will allow the Schott gnomes to leave their Short surname. ”

Adam groaned, according to the tradition of the Morino Continent, the attached forces are generally required to abandon their surnames and use the lord's surname to show the glory and power of the lord, but Adam is not very interested in such a tradition, he knows very well that for races that are different from humans, blind coercion is very likely to lead to the opposite effect, it is better to leave this nominal surname, as long as they firmly control the Schott dwarfs in other aspects, and slowly digest and assimilate them.

Adam nodded and agreed, Colby breathed a sigh of relief, he had thought that Adam would reject his proposal, which would make it impossible for both of them to get off the stage, or even go to the opposite side. Although he also felt that his proposal was excessive, a surname represented not only a code name for a force, but also a meaning of inheritance!

It turns out that Colby is not wrong, Adam is indeed very generous, and does not care about Colby's excessive requirements, which makes Colby very grateful, and he is convinced of Adam!

Adam asks Morris a question to Calby: "Will Morris have an impact on your patriarchal position after your father's death?"

Colby smiled confidently at Adam and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lord, no matter in terms of inheritance or ability, Morris can't compete with me, and his reputation among the dwarfs is also extremely poor, especially after the last time he molested your sister, the clan is even more completely disappointed in him, he is completely incapable of fighting with me." When it came to Sophia, Colby secretly looked at Adam's expression, Adam looked as usual, nodded and motioned for him to continue, Colby put his mind at ease, at least on the surface, Adam couldn't see any dissatisfaction with this Colby's statement, after all, it was taboo to talk about the lord's woman in front of the lord!

Colby paused and continued, "And he's now crippled and bedridden, and he's still recuperating. My father has just passed away, and I can't do anything else with him, but I'll take care of his affairs when I'm done with the matter at hand. Colby thought Adam was hinting at when he was going to kill Morris.

Adam smiled knowingly, and didn't explain, if I want to kill Morris, do I need to hint at anything to you?

It's just for the sake of your father's face and let him go, after all, as a leader, he has to keep his word, and he can't just take someone's son as soon as his father dies.

However, Adam is still very satisfied with Calby's sensibility, and if the brothers kill each other and cause Morris to die, then it will not matter what happens to Adam.

The two discussed the details of the arrangements after the annexation of the Short Gnomes, and Adam decided that except for the announcement of the annexation, everything else would be business as usual, the Short Gnomes should not move to Blackstone Town for the time being, and the people of Blackstone Town would not move to the Short Gnomes territory, and everything would be managed as before, but nominally the Short Gnomes would be under the rule of Blackstone Town. The two sides exchanged ideas, Blackstone provided food for free, and the Short Gnomes wanted to increase their efforts to build Blackstone, and the area of Blackstone Town, the two also agreed to expand a larger outer wall. According to Adam, give the people on both sides a little time to adapt, but sooner or later they have to move over, and build the necessary measures in the territory while they are adapting, such as expanding some dwarf houses and the like.

For this, Colby was naturally grateful and sobbed to say that Adam trusted him, swore to heaven that he would never betray him in this life, and so on.

Adam smiled at this, showing generosity. Adam has his own ideas, now the population base of Blackstone Town is far less than that of the gnomes, if all the more than a thousand gnomes pour into Blackstone Town, it will be difficult to say who will assimilate at that time, so he can only maintain the status quo first, and wait for the population of Blackstone Town to increase, and then move the gnomes over.

Moreover, Adam believed that under the absolute deterrence of force and the temptation of food in Blackstone Town, even if the dwarves had two hearts, they would not be able to betray or leave Blackstone Town in the short term. If Adam, who has so many advantages, can't make the dwarfs return to their hearts during this period, then Adam, the lord, will be too much of a failure.
