Lion King's Adopted Son

"Important thing? What is that?" Claire asked curiously.

The patriarch was silent for a moment: "...it is the treasure given to us by the Beast God. In the early years, we did not have an absolute advantage in contending with the beasts. The Beast God gave us the treasure, so the sub-beasts have spirit Force, the original force in the orc's body is also stimulated. It can be said that our tribe has such a powerful force because of that thing."

"But Panke said that it has been difficult to find good Asian beasts and orcs in recent years. Is it because of this reason..." The Panke that Claire said was the old Asian orc who answered her doubts at first.

"I don't know if the decline of the tribe should be attributed to our failure to protect the gifts that the Lord Beast God gave us. I only know that since that bastard Jem showed up with the guards from Floville City, our tribe has fallen into a crisis. An unprecedented disaster." He thought of the tragic death of his clansmen, the grief and resignation of his father before he died, and his hands on the table were tightly clenched, and the sharp nails got stuck in the flesh: "I won't let that one go. Damn, absolutely not!"

"That Jem guy can't fight much, but I have to admit, he is too cunning. Every time I thought I could catch him and kill him, he always managed to slip away from me. More What's more, he also has my good uncle Sairant as a backer, judging from the current situation of the orc tribe, it is not so easy for you to seek revenge from Jem."

"Even if it's not easy, I will do it! As the culprit who killed so many of our clansmen, Jem must use his blood to give us an answer!" The patriarch looked at Pascal with some unkind eyes: "Or, As the nephew of Lord Celant, are you going to stop me?"

"Hey, don't get me wrong, Sairante and I are not uncles and nephews who love each other. On the contrary, he is my enemy. He took away my seat of city lord, destroyed my elemental power, and forced me to He was expelled from Foroville City. After that, he was still worried about my existence, and sent people out several times to hunt me down. Between him and me, there was already a situation where he didn't have me, and I didn't have him. If It really bothers me to be misunderstood as being with him."

Claire nodded at the side: "That's right, as I said before, we are here now because of the ambush of the city lord Serrant. So it is impossible for Mr. Pascal to be with the city lord."

Hearing Claire's support, the patriarch's complexion was not so good for some reason. The change in his expression was so obvious that Claire wondered if she had said something wrong unintentionally. I spoke.

"How can I be sure whether what you say is true or not?"

Pascal spread his hands: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. But let me remind you, we can't be sure whether what you said is true or not - you have no way to prove it to us, so in this matter, I think we are talking draw."

"At a time like this, shouldn't you prove your sincerity to me?"

"Sincerity, sincerity... Oh, from now on, we have a common enemy. We can form allies and deal with the Sanctuary and Jem together. I can take back my position as the Sanctuary, and you can repay yours Qiu, and take back your lost family treasure by the way—I think nothing can prove my sincerity more than this.”

"I'm not sure if our tribe becomes an ally with your people, will we be held back." The patriarch looked at Pascal with disgust.

Claire thought, this guy always has inexplicable hostility towards people from the outside world, just like Master Pascal now, just like himself back then.It's really hard for people in the orc tribe to have to endure such an eccentric patriarch.

Faced with the patriarch's question, Pascal countered unceremoniously: "Yes, that's right, you reminded me. Judging from the performance of the so-called warriors in your group just now, I'm afraid I can't expect too much from you. "

"You..." The patriarch's eyes widened, but he didn't know how to refute.After all, it is a fact that so many of them stepped forward to deal with the person in front of them just now, but they all failed.

But when Pascal faced someone he didn't like, he didn't mind poking at the sore spot of the other person, and now, the patriarch had tasted what it was like to be poked at the sore spot by him.

"Okay, let's stop here, I don't want to argue with you for these meaningless things anymore." After Pascal took advantage of his words, he pretended to be generous and said to the patriarch: "I don't know why you treat me With such great hostility—after I have explained to you the hostile relationship between me and Celant. I just want to remind you that whether it is you or me, it is necessary to deal with Celant and Jem alone. It is very difficult, but this is what both of us have to do, so why should we get entangled in those details? Could it be worse if we join hands than fight alone?"

When Pascal said this, it seemed that the one who made trouble for no reason and had nothing to do had become the patriarch... Although this is true, no one likes to hear such facts.

The patriarch kept a gloomy face and looked very ugly, but from his expression, Pascal knew that he had listened to what he had just said.

"For the time being, I agree to the alliance." The patriarch finally let go, and Pascal, who had planned ahead, immediately climbed up the steps: "In this case, it's time for you to show your sincerity as an ally. As Our allies, you don't mind doing us a small favor by sending me, Kelier, and Gera out? You know, we also need to return to the territory to prepare strength."

The patriarch's cold eyes glanced at Pascal: "I haven't finished my words. Although I have agreed to form an alliance with you for the time being, I have not fully believed in your character as an ally. Therefore, when you are really surrounded by me and the tribe You can’t leave our tribe until the wise men and elders approve it, and you must stay here to accept our observation.” Jem’s simple and honest smile when he was still in the tribe flashed before his eyes, and he had a slightly gentle attitude just now He became tough again: "I will never let you leave here until I confirm that you are trustworthy."

"It sounds a bit unfair to us. From the beginning of the negotiations, you have been making demands on us. I think we are equals, not affiliated."

"Yes, you are right. But I don't trust you. I will not entrust the safety of the tribe to people of unknown character. We have already suffered such losses!" The patriarch seemed to have expected that Pascal would Having said that, he picked up Pascal's topic without haste: "Of course, you can think about it from another angle. During your stay, you can also observe the people in our tribe. This investigation is Mutual, not only we need it, but you also need it.”

Pascal frowned, but he couldn't say anything more. He could understand the concerns of this closed tribe.If he wanted to ally with this tribe, he had to consider their mood and make some compromises and concessions.Although this may not be fair to them, what can be done?

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Pascal nodded to the patriarch.

Finally winning a round from Pascal, the patriarch showed a faint smile: "Very happy, it seems that we have reached a consensus on this point."

"I agree that we observe both parties, but even if it is an observation, there must be a time limit? We are not from here, and it is impossible to live here for a long time."

"How about ten years? Ten years is enough time for us to have a deep understanding of each other." The patriarch said without thinking.

"Oh, very good, so in this ten years, all we have to do is observe each other, don't think about revenge on Sai Lante at all?" Just as he was on guard against him, he had absolutely no affection for the patriarch, so his tone was quite sarcastic: "Don't you think that the time you set seems too insincere? If you stay here for a long time and don't go back, I will You won’t be able to get the latest news from Celant and the others, and the strength of my subordinates may also change.”

"Master Pascal, don't tell him! I think he is not normal today, he is deliberately against us! Let's go to the wise men or the elders, they can decide the affairs of the clan!" Claire Pulling Pascal and wanting to leave, he didn't look at the patriarch at all: "I don't understand why he can be so willful, it's only natural for him to be willful! I don't want to endure his willfulness anymore, not at all!"

Pascal looked at the face of the patriarch, got a little idea in his heart, and said calmly: "You are right, I thought that I could take the position of patriarch at a young age, I should be a wise and far-sighted person. Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the orc tribe really disappointed me. Let's go and talk to someone who can reason."

"Since ten years won't work, then five years." The patriarch stared firmly at Kelier's back: "How about this time?"

"Are you bargaining with us? Do you think we are in a free trade market?" Claire looked at the patriarch in disbelief.

The patriarch looked at Kelier with some depression: "You guys said to set a time, I just said the time that I think is appropriate." It seemed that he still felt a little wronged.

Claire stroked her forehead, completely bowed down.

"If we want to set a boundary, I think three months is enough. We don't need to understand each other, we just need to see each other clearly." Pascal said bluntly: "And, just like you orcs have the force, We also have our own power. We cannot use this power in the territory of the orcs, and staying here for a long time will stop us from moving forward."

The patriarch frowned: "I've never heard of such a thing." He suspected that Pascal had deliberately lied to himself in order to leave earlier.

"You have never stepped out of the orc's territory, how much do you know about us?" Pascal retorted: "To be honest, I think you should take your clansmen out to have a look, you have been living in Here, I don’t know anything about other places on the mainland, and the news is really too closed.”

In the end, the patriarch made a concession: "Two years, at least you have to stay here for two years, let me take a good look at whether you are trustworthy people, and then I will make a decision whether to help you leave. And, you The little sub-beasts need to learn how to use mental power here-I guess you don't teach these things there, do you? For the little sub-beasts, two years of spiritual power learning is necessary, and you should do it for yours. Little Asian Beast thinks more about it."

"If this is necessary for Gera, then I have no objection. But—" Pascal turned his head: "From just now, I have always wanted to ask, what exactly is a sub-beast?"

"..." Claire met Pascal's gaze, and forced an embarrassing smile: "It's like this, Mr. Pascal, listen to me slowly, don't rush to get angry..."

"What did you do to make me angry?" Pascal raised his eyebrows, this girl even used her honorific name this time, it seems that she has made a lot of trouble.

"%%%###￥￥￥&&&&&&&..."

"So, you raised my son as a daughter?" Pascal sighed, "Clear, I trusted you so much that I entrusted Gera to you to take care of, but who knows... you In this way, how can I rest assured that I will hand over Jara to you in the future?"

"I'm sorry, Master Pascal, it's my fault. I didn't explain clearly to the orc tribe in time." Claire felt guilty at first, but when Pascal said this, she immediately actively admitted her mistake.

"I also know that you didn't mean it, but I'm really afraid that Jella will have some psychological shadow because of being raised as a girl during this period. Well, don't get too close to Jella these days. "

The solid-eyed girl Claire apologized obediently again, and felt that she had sinned deeply, but she didn't know that the villain in her heart, the good father Pascal, was already laughing arrogantly.

Let these lionesses always say that he is not a qualified breeder, and let them keep him from approaching Gera for various reasons. Now that he has caught Claire's handle, of course he has to make good use of it.

When he thought of being able to cultivate a father-son relationship with Gera alone, ah no, two lions, Pascal felt that the seemingly long two-year agreement was not so long.If I had known earlier, he should have booked for another year (╯□╰).

"Wait, according to what you mean, Gera isn't a sub-beast?" Looking at the guilty Claire and the magnanimous Pascal, the patriarch was still at a loss: "How is this possible? I mean , Jela obviously possesses the spiritual power that only sub-beasts can have, and its talent is quite high, I think this is the most powerful proof! Moreover, it cannot turn into a beast!"

"I've already told you that the standards for judging females and males are different from those of your tribe." Pascal didn't mean to explain to the patriarch in detail: "Okay, the process is not important, the important thing is the result, you Just know that Jela is my son, a male cub, and he is not fertile."

"Master Pascal, if we can't go back for two years, Wanna and the others will look for us everywhere because of worry?" After overcoming the parents' hesitation "without any danger", Claire let go After taking a breath, I was worried about another problem.

"That's true." Pascal thought for a while, and immediately turned his attention to the patriarch.

The patriarch was a little chilled by his eyes, which reminded him of the eyes of the orcs when they looked at the prey that was tied up by them and could not resist.

"Master Patriarch, since you are so kind to invite us to stay, we can't refuse. However, we must send someone to inform our companions. This matter is left to you, the hospitable Patriarch. You orcs are the most suitable for this. It's kind of running errands. It's just such a small thing, I'm sure you can handle it, right patriarch?"

Patriarch: "..." What do you mean they orcs are the most suitable for such errands?Are the orcs running errands for others?Is it too late for him to repent and drive this person out now!If he unfortunately died early in the past two years, he must have been pissed off by this person!
