Chapter 1104: Chapter 524: First Encounters Always Begin with a Meal (Part 2)

The Human Emperor paused for a moment and continued.

"However, due to the unknown origin of the tide, I plan to gather the children from all tribes together.

"This way, even if something unexpected happens in the end, whether it’s sending the children into a shelter first or focusing our forces to protect them, we can handle it."

As soon as the Human Emperor finished speaking, except for the Barbarian King and Little Demon Venerate who were already aware, the others were all shocked.

Immediately, an elder with three-foot height and a tumor on his shoulder stood up.

"Why should we trust you!

"You take our children, and whether you protect them or turn against us and threaten, isn’t it just a matter of your lips!"

Zhang Ze seemed to have anticipated this; he said calmly.

"I know you don’t trust me, so I’ve found someone else for bringing the children."

"Village, you don’t trust me, but surely you trust Village."

Upon hearing the name Village, the short elder chuckled and then returned to his seat.

No one present dared to claim that their tribe had not benefited from Village.

Tracing back in time, if not the entire tribe being under its protection, there was always an ancestor who received its drink or food, as legend has it.

Moreover, this old green Dragon often disappears and never participates in tribal disputes or harbors grudges, making its credibility and character the best in the world.

If it were to offer personal protection, naturally, no one would object. freēwebnovel.com

However...

Opposite the three-foot elder, a birdman stood up and said.

"But in these chaotic times, before the war among the three tribes, Ancestral Dragon Village had already vanished for a millennium, and until now, hasn’t appeared again, even its life or death remains unknown... Where exactly are you going to find it?

"And if I may speak bluntly, I think, Human Emperor, finding Village might not be any easier than finding that shelter."

The Human Emperor gestured for the birdman to sit down, "No matter, can’t find Village, can’t I find a pig?"

Speaking of pigs, the Human Emperor said with a peculiar expression.

"I once, by chance, had some interaction with that square pig; it told me it knows Village’s whereabouts.

"And I’ve decided to spend a lot to hire it for help..."

Upon hearing the name God Li, everyone gasped, especially upon hearing the mention of spending a lot, many even shivered.

Just as everyone knew of Village’s benevolence, they had long heard of the greed of the creature self-proclaimed as Dragon.

The reason it’s just hearsay and not personally experienced is not because God Pig is elusive, but because those who hired God Li went bankrupt.

Then these bankrupt tribes got swiftly wiped out by others after God Li, who didn’t provide after-sales, finished its task and left.

Now seeing the Human Emperor seeking God Li’s help, everyone believed in the impending doom a little more.

To speak of spending big money for God Li, this showed the Human Emperor genuinely was not planning for the future, living each day as if it’s the last.

In short, under the intimidation of the square pig and the ultimate babysitter, the meeting went on smoothly, and a result was reluctantly achieved regarding the alliance.

The scene abruptly stops here.

Zhang Ze glanced behind him to make sure Li was indeed not present before he breathed a sigh of relief and proceeded to the second segment of memory.

There was no other way; the latter half of this segment involved a lot of talking badly about Li, and if it overheard, it might need good coaxing.

Seeing Zhang Ze about to leave, Cat Lady Emperor still savoring the moment shouted, "Hey, wait for me, I haven’t boarded yet!"

....

Act Two.

The scene shifts, with mountains in sight.

A one-eyed giant Dragon is coiled among the mountains, controlling birds and beasts, guarding dozens of villages between these mountains.

Paths connect the villages, colorful houses scattered within, and a group of five to six-year-old children are running around the central square, playing games.

Among these children from various tribes, there is no barrier; laughter and play echo ceaselessly.

Beside the square, there is another group of teenagers, each holding a smaller baby.

With the help of these older siblings, the babies are being fed by sheep Nainai.

After feeding these younger siblings and putting them to sleep in cradles, some stayed to watch them, while others took the sheep, packed their bags, and joined their friends playing on the square heading to the school halfway up the mountain.

In that school, there were no adults teaching, only a scarecrow with the word "teacher" pasted on its face, from which the voice of Village emanated.

"Pay attention in class, or I’ll let Li eat you."

Once these words were spoken, the clamor in the school instantly fell silent.

...

The Human Emperor and Little Demon Venerate stood on a separate mountain, watching everything from afar.

Little Demon Venerate said softly, "Honestly, if it weren’t for the ripples of the tide constantly disturbing my mind, I’d even suspect that the doomsday talk is nothing but your pretext, and this is indeed your real purpose.

"In search of a shelter, the tribes have ceased fighting for ten years, and now the first batch of children grew up in Taoyuan Village and returned to their tribes. Although not everyone can accept it, indeed, some things have changed. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Do you remember that three-foot elder who confronted you back in that meeting, the one with the tumor on his shoulder?

"He told me it’s the first time he saw his tribe’s juniors forging friendships with outsiders, and it’s not just a pretense but truly brotherly."
