001 Think
In a row of black wildernesses to the north of Adhirodi, Zhao Lun walked slowly with Ollis, who did not have any magical contract but was still loyal.
Since this place is not very far from Eddros, there are not too many powerful undead to inhabit here, which makes Zhao Lun's journey so far seem much easier.
With the endless black wilderness in front of him, as well as a few blood-colored clouds looming in the gray light in the sky, stepping on the dry ground where bones and corpses could be seen at any time, Zhao Lun's mood now was much more relaxed than in Addiros before.
Zhao Lun secretly thought that this may be the characteristic of human nature left in his bones, according to Zhao Lun's understanding, people are often the most nervous before making a decision.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lun couldn't help but look back at Olis, his eyes full of complicated feelings. Olis, who was aware of Zhao Lun's gaze, was stunned, and then opened his bones and teeth to Zhao Lun with a simple and even a little cute smile, of course, this kind of smile was absolutely impossible to see from Olis's bone-only face when Zhao Lun had just crossed.
"Stupid!" Zhao Lun scolded with a smile and turned around, and the pace under his feet was a little brisker.
In fact, Zhao Lun had hesitated before whether to leave Eddiros with Olis, and even Zhao Lun thought that he would leave Olis with a skeleton to stay in Eddros without saying goodbye, anyway, Zhao Lun of this guy's strength has not explored the end now, with his strength, he should be able to live very easily in Eddyros, no matter how bad it is, it is much better than adventuring outside, right?
But in the end, Zhao Lun still chose to bring Olis. Zhao Lun himself couldn't tell what he was thinking about when he made this decision, which almost took him to the fire pit! So Zhao Lun almost just took Olis out of Eddros, and he immediately regretted it. The bones hammered their heads vigorously.
Looking at Olis's smirkling face, and the bland joy and dependence that came from the spiritual connection that had been established without any contract, Zhao Lun felt that maybe it was not bad for him to do so, but it also made him realize that he seemed to have ignored a very important issue all along, and that he, a lord, seemed to be like a nanny.
Zhao Lun's territory has always been the biggest foundation for him to stand on this dangerous underworld, and it is this territory that allows him to face this unknown world without fear and face one difficulty after another. And the reason why this one was able to provide Zhao Lun with such strong courage was not because of those magical buildings, nor because of one powerful subordinate after another. It's about his men's strong sense of dependence on him and their uncompromising loyalty.
Therefore, Zhao Lun cherished each of his subordinates very much, and he didn't even dare to face the death of his more familiar subordinates, just Best's death almost made Zhao Lun collapse, not to mention Ollise Phyllis and Chester, Zhao Lun's closest skeletons. Zhao Lun didn't even dare to think about what would happen to him if these guys died?
Under such emotions. Zhao Lun's emotional investment in his subordinates slowly increased, and his attitude slowly changed.
Take a closer look at Zhao Lun's previous efforts for his subordinates, he almost didn't dare to let his men take risks, what dangerous things befell Zhao Lun's first thought was not to gather all his subordinates and all the strength to spend together, but to resist all by himself.
For example, the previous evacuation of the Land of Bones, Zhao Lun was almost completely done by himself, and at that time, Zhao Lun's territory was no longer just the foundation of his survival in the underworld, but also unconsciously became a burden for him.
In fact, Zhao Lun himself is not unaware of such a situation. It's just that this guy is deliberately avoiding it, but when he himself is a skeleton, he bears all the dangers. After giving up the territory he had operated for many years, Zhao Lun found that there were some things that could not be avoided at all, it might be able to turn a blind eye for the time being, but it could not completely ignore it, it was also like a thorn in the flesh, whether it was pulled out or not, it would hurt.
Zhao Lun even had such a thought about whether to give up the establishment of the territory before, that was when Zhao Lun had just lost the territory he had operated for many years, and it was Zhao Lun's most frustrated time.
At that time, Zhao Lun was holding this kind of idea of breaking the jar, which was ridiculously naïve!
Fortunately, a few years of life in the underworld made Zhao Lun strong, made Zhao Lun sober up quickly, and also made him understand that giving up the establishment of a territory is just another escape, and the key to the problem is not actually whether to establish a territory or not, but to Zhao Lun himself.
He himself must know very well that the environment he lives in is not a dream-like peaceful world in his previous life, but a dangerous world with no rule of law and no reason to talk about, and completely obeys the law of the jungle, and he himself is not a strong person, abandoning the pseudo-golden finger of the traverser and the system, he is just a silver-level skeleton mage, this kind of strength cannot be said in the underworld or even the middle level, it is just the bottom of the underworld.
With such strength, Zhao Lun can't even guarantee self-protection, how can he take care of a territory with a number of tens of thousands?
Thinking of this, Zhao Lun couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, but after thinking about it, Zhao Lun suddenly felt that he didn't know when he got into the tip of the horns, he was a lord, a dignified lord!
When did you become a nanny, not to mention, even your thoughts are moving closer to the nanny, yes, we can't take care of a family of tens of thousands, but a territory really needs such a huge family, Zhao Lun has a vague plan to establish a new territory in his heart.
Zhao Lun, who successfully drilled out the tip of the horns, suddenly relaxed his steps, and the corners of his mouth cracked a hideous smile, this guy even turned around to tease Olis, who didn't know why, and then looked at Olis's stunned expression, and after laughing heartily, he continued to stride forward.
People are like this, as long as they adjust their mentality, they can easily laugh out loud no matter what the situation, even if they are about to face the challenge of life and death.
This is the humanity that still remains in Zhao Lun. (To be continued......)
