The Lord of the Dunes swallowed the last piece of meat and put down the bowl contentedly.

Then Yu Guang saw the little boy with a little baby fat in front of him, his eyes widened, and he looked at the rice bowl that was cleaner than a dog licked in amazement, and couldn't help but blush.

coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.

"Thank you, little one, for the dinner, I am satisfied...... Can you tell me your name? ”

The little boy smiled shyly, showing a little shyness, scratched his head, and whispered.

"Grandpa, my name is Wild Boar......"

Wild...... Pig??

Hearing this name, the Lord of the Dunes was stunned for a long time.

This kind of name is given only by those illiterate country farmers who have cultivated all their lives.

The farmers believed that the lower the name of the newborn child, the better it would be to feed.

The emotions in my heart are becoming more and more delicate.

"Who gave you the name? What about your parents? ”

Hearing this, the little boy's eyes immediately darkened.

"They were killed by a group of robbers the winter before last."

Killed by robbers?

The Lord of the Dunes was silent.

This is all too common in this dangerous world, and nine and a half of the ten orphans seen outside are for similar reasons.

Suppress the emotions in your heart and speak again.

"Then why are you in this city? It's a desert of death......

The little boy blinked and whispered back.

"Because our village can't stay any longer."

"The village chief said that the army of the Rhino Empire is coming, we must leave, the people of the Rhino Empire are worse than bandits!"

He scratched his head and organized his language before continuing.

"Later, the village chief said that on the other side of the Death Desert, there was no war, and there was a large amount of uncultivated farmland, so he took us and set off with the caravan."

"We encountered a sandstorm on the way, and many people died, and in the end, it was the lord who saved us."

The little guy obviously has no talent for storytelling, and his words are dry and not the slightest bit attractive.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the Lord of the Dunes with some curiosity.

"Grandpa, were you also rescued by the lord?"

I......

These words made the Lord of the Dunes feel a little heartbroken.

I'm going to be saved by that goddamn Grace Lord?

If it weren't for that bastard, he would still be plotting how to rule the Death Desert.

But looking at those innocent eyes, the words in his mouth swallowed again.

Forced to laugh.

"That's right, I'm ...... too. The lord saved it. ”

This was so contrary to his intentions that his face was a little distorted.

The little boy thought that the other party was sad, so he pretended to be an adult and comforted him.

"It's okay grandpa, when I first came to Dusk City, I was just as scared as you."

"I cried many times...... It would be nice to get acquainted with this place later. ”

He was full of admiration.

"This city is the best territory I've ever seen, where no one bullies me, no one bullies Aunt Li, Uncle Jaco, and them...... Everyone said that the City of Dusk was the best city they had ever seen! ”

As he spoke, his eyes lit up with a sparkle of light.

"And when I come to the city of dusk, I'll have enough to eat! ...... And meat! The last few words are extraordinarily heavy.

With a bit of ostentation and pride, the Lord of Dune's mood became subtle.

If someone else comes, no matter how much he sings praises, he doesn't care about it.

But when it came from the mouth of a seven or eight-year-old child, the feeling was completely different.

Is this what a territory should look like?

He used to treat ordinary residents as slaves and squeeze the development model like crazy, didn't he go right?

There was a bit of confusion in his eyes.

But after a moment, I regained my mind and didn't think much about it.

The crystal coffins have been removed, and his city is now buried, and he may not have a chance to regain his throne in this life.

After calming down, he said with a little curiosity.

"How much food can you distribute for free each day?"

"I'm full!"

The little boy was satisfied, and his eyes were crooked into crescents, and it was obvious that the matter of being well fed was especially important to him.

"Someone as big as you, how many are there in the City of Dusk?"

The little guy touched his head with some distress, then snapped his fingers and whispered.

"Yes...... More than a hundred? Last time Mr. Hunter said it, I forgot. ”

The Lord of the Dunes furrowed his eyebrows.

"Teacher Hunter?"

This is, peers?

"That's right."

The little boy raised his head in adoration.

"Teacher Hunter is a teacher appointed by the lord, but he is knowledgeable, and he knows what the Ice and Snow Empire is like! Everyone respects Mr. Hunter......"

The Lord of the Dunes looked at the little guy's gaze and was inexplicably a little unhappy.

Know that an ice empire can gain so much respect?

Lazy to talk to each other, continued.

"Free food for all?"

"No, my lord said, when you reach the age of 14, you need to go to work to earn food."

"Below this age, the City of Twilight can offer free ......"

Said with some yearning.

"I really hope to grow up soon, and I want to go to work and contribute to the city of dusk!"

"Your Excellency says that labor is the most glorious!"

After speaking, there was a little pride on his face.

"Although I can't work yet, I still go to reading and learning every day."

"Lord Lord said that studying now is to become a better person, and to make more contributions to the City of Dusk in the future!"

The child's mind is always hidden, and the lord said that the lord showed how prestigious the owner of this land was in the hearts of the inhabitants.

The Lord of the Dunes' face changed slightly.

Seeing the other party's hot gaze, at this moment he finally understood where the subtle point he had been feeling before.

Even a seven or eight-year-old child has such a strong identity and yearning for this territory, so what about other people?

This is not something that can be explained by fairy tales.

In comparison, his way of ruling by enslaving and oppressing the inhabitants of the territory is inexplicably ridiculous.

Feeble.

Perhaps the greatest dream of those oppressed civilians every day is to escape.

Contribute to the territory on your own initiative? Just kidding!

Even those who oversee often run away......

There is a fear of contrast.

The Lord of the Dunes turned a little red, but fortunately there were many wrinkles and could not be seen.

"Grandpa, you can also go to the square at night to learn knowledge~"

"Lord Lord said, learning is the most glorious thing, I already know two hundred words, last time Aunt Marley praised me~"

I'm going to listen to that Hunter teacher talk about the Ice and Snow Empire too?

That's pretty impressive.

The Lord of the Dunes couldn't laugh or cry.

But after being persuaded by the little guy in front of him again and again, most of his inner resistance to teaching those vulgar farmers quietly disappeared at this time.

In his heart, he didn't even notice it, and he identified with the city a little more.

The mentality when I came out of the dungeon has changed a lot.

At 95 points of popular support, residents live and work in peace and contentment in the territory, live happily, and will promote the city of twilight to the new residents, increasing the attractiveness of the homeless by 100%; After coming to the city of dusk, you can integrate into the city faster, and there is a higher probability of attracting high-level talents or high-level heroes to take the initiative to take refuge, and the charm of the city is greatly improved.

The Lord of Dune is unaware of the stats that activate when the Hearts of the People reach 95 on the Dusk City panel.

The influence of Gao Minxin is invisible and intangible, but it has a profound impact on everyone who steps into the city of twilight.

"Wild ...... Pig, are you going to class tonight? ”

This name is really too much for the Lord of the Dunes to shout.

The other party is a farmer of five big and three thick, fortunately, a child of seven or eight years old, with a little baby fat, and looks well-behaved and clever, called a wild boar.

It's too inconsistent.

The little boy nodded affirmatively.

"Of course it will, Aunt Ma Li said, knowledge is very precious and precious, outside it is only the noble lords can learn, we can learn now, it is completely the gift of the lord."

"So as long as there is nothing to do in the evening, I will go to class...... It's not just me, it's everyone else. ”

The Lord of the Dunes was silent.

That's true.

How precious knowledge is, in this world it represents the right to live, it is power, it is authority!

Which is so easy to get?

In the outside world, some of the down-and-out aristocrats could not even afford to pay for the cost of learning.

It is the only city that has opened up its precious knowledge to every resident.

This is also what he finds most incredible.

It wasn't until he heard a seven or eight-year-old kid's heartfelt praise for the city that the Lord of Dune understood the underlying logic of the other party's actions.

Shaking his head, a wry smile appeared on his face.

Perhaps, only the charismatic lords who came from other planes and were not affected by the culture and rules of the main plane could do such a thing.

Even if he understands the other party's idea now, it will be difficult for him to do it.

That's knowledge! How precious?! Let others learn for free, he can't accept it.

It is too difficult and difficult to break the fixed thinking and rules that have been formed over millions of years.

"Grandpa, I'm going back to take a shower, and I'm going to have class later......"

"When I go, I'll tell you to come along...... Yesterday I begged Aunt Marley to leave me a seat for you. ”

Looking at the sincere gaze of the little family in front of him without any utilitarianism, the heart of the Lord of the Dunes warmed.

How long ago was the last time he had this kind of touch? 500,000 years, or 1 million years?

Accustomed to being on top before, who is qualified to say such things in front of him?

In this life, I don't seem to have been touched as much as this little guy brings.

"Okay, I'll go with you later."

After speaking, he looked at the little boy who was smiling, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said with a serious face.

"Wild ...... Pig, you were called when you were a child, and now that you've grown up, it's time for a new name. ”

A different name?

The little boy was stunned for a moment, and then said a little dazed.

"But there's no one to name me anymore."

Immature words, the Lord of the Dunes breathed.

No one has named me anymore.

He didn't know what it was like to say this.

Born in this world, he didn't even have a name, only the vulgar nickname of a wild boar.

At this time, it is only alone.

Looking at the cute face with a bit of baby fat, and then at the empty bowl in the little boy's hand, the wrinkled face softened.

"Otherwise, grandpa will give you a name."

The little one's eyes lit up immediately.

But I couldn't believe it, and said with a little caution.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

The Lord of the Dunes nodded solemnly at a child of seven or eight years old.

At this moment, he felt that he should do it.

This meal made him willingly owe the other party a favor.

"Yay~"

The little one jumped up at once.

His face was full of excitement.

"Thank you~"

Looking at the other party's happy appearance, the lord of the sand dunes couldn't help but smile.

He rubbed the other party's little head and thought about it seriously.

After a long time, my eyes suddenly lit up as if I thought of something.

"Boar, your new name...... Call, Abaro! ”

The little boy tilted his head and stammered repeatedly.

"Abaro?"

The Lord of the Dunes nodded affirmatively.

"Yes!"

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, in the battle of the gods, a human powerhouse slaughtered a median god in the body of a demigod and achieved an epic victory."

"The demigod is called Abaro!"

"And the name is pronounced in the ancient desert language with the same meaning as 'hero'."

Hearing this, the little guy's face was full of surprise.

Abaro? Slaughtering a god in the body of a demigod? It sounds like a powerful thing, like the ancient myths that the uncles often talk about after drinking.

"Abaro, Abaro......"

After repeating it a few times, the little guy's face turned red with excitement, and he raised his hand in cheer.

"I have a name, I have a name~ My name is Abaro, the same as the name of a demigod hundreds of thousands of years ago!

I'm going to be a very powerful hero in the future!

”

Seeing the other party's happy appearance, the lord of the sand dunes was inexplicably relieved.

There is also a different kind of mood brewing.

Giving a child a name would not have felt anything to him in the past.

But at this moment, after the loss of strength, the feeling is different.

It was as if, the moment he gave the other party's name, he also gained a new life.

The emotional connection between the two parties has quietly become different.

After the little one happily left to show off his new name to his little friend, the Lord of the Dunes looked at the suddenly quiet house, and suddenly felt no longer so cold and suffocating.

It's not a spacious space, and I don't know when it's a little warmer.

It seems that everything is just right.

After a moment of distraction, as if he had thought of something, he got up and went to the window again.

Turning his head to look around, the sky was already dark, and a candle made of animal fat lit the square.

Ahead, many residents were already carrying stools to gather in the square.

It seems that the evening class in the city of twilight is about to start.

The Lord of the Dunes looked at the serious, solemn, and serious figures who had gone back to take a bath and changed into clean clothes after a tiring day.

My heart was inexplicably touched at this moment.

These farmers are not so unbearable.

It doesn't seem hard to accept being a teacher to these people......

Taking a deep breath, he glanced at his dusty clothes, and was inexplicably a little ashamed.

Turned around and entered the bathroom.

In the first lesson, he couldn't embarrass himself.

He's the Lord of the Dunes.
