Chapter 4 The New Leader
Chapter 4 The New Leader
"what?"
"What's going on?"
"The chief's child has knelt!"
"Even the elders knelt down!"
"Hmm!"
Seeing the old goblin kneel down with the little goblin, the strong goblin opened his mouth wide in bewilderment, while the other goblins cried out in confusion or surprise.
Even the saintess, whose mouth was gagged, let out a surprised sound.
[An unknown goblin wishes to become your apprentice. Please guide him to perform the apprenticeship ceremony and establish a master-disciple relationship!]
A bamboo skewer floated in Li Mosi's eyes.
The words carved with a knife guided him to continue.
He glanced at the prompt and said, "Show your respect."
The little goblin subconsciously exchanged a glance with the old goblin, then stood up and walked to Li Mosi's side.
Li Mosi felt the vines binding her body being tugged, then released.
The little goblin sheathed his dagger, walked back to him, and knelt down again: "Please teach me, Master!"
"Release the humans!?"
What will they eat for this meal?
The strong goblin finally snapped out of the shock and glared angrily at the little goblin.
But then, the old goblin turned his head.
The old man and the strong man looked at each other, and the strong goblin quickly lowered his head.
Once the feeling of being watched disappeared, he looked at the little goblin again.
This time, however, anger turned into resentment.
The little goblin suddenly shuddered, feeling a prickling sensation on its back.
Li Mosi remained still, looking at it as he spoke: "Touch the ground with your forehead three times, swear that you will always respect me, always follow my path, and from now on call me 'Master'."
Bang, bang, bang!
Upon hearing this, the little goblin immediately kowtowed three times.
"I swear, I will always follow your path. xi...xian."
He looked up and met Li Mosi's gaze, then began to imitate Li Mosi's pronunciation, his lips trembling as he uttered the unknown word.
"My late teacher!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cave returned to silence.
The little goblin noticed that Li Mosi wasn't looking at him, but rather at a point in the air.
No notification appeared in front of Li Mosi.
He recalled the apprenticeship ceremony, nodded, and asked, "What's your name?"
name?
The young goblin was a little unfamiliar with the word, so the old goblin answered for him: "We don't have names, only titles. His title is 'Child of the Leader.'"
Li Mosi shook her head slightly.
If things continue like this, sooner or later a goblin will be calling him "my grandson".
After a moment's thought, he said, "You are my first disciple, and from now on your name will be 'Ziyi'."
bump.
The little goblin kowtowed again: "Ziyi thanks my master for giving me this name!"
[The apprenticeship ceremony is complete!]
Congratulations on accepting your first disciple – Zi Yi!
[New player tutorial completed]
[Support supplies exchange is now open - currently available for exchange: pens, ink, paper, inkstones]
[Gained the divine power of the master – Enjoying Mountains and Rivers]
[Enjoying Mountains and Rivers – This involves observing the forms of mountains and rivers to obtain information about the surrounding environment. The scope and detail of the information obtained are directly proportional to the observation time.]
Sure enough, after a disciple becomes an apprentice, what teacher wouldn't bestow a name upon him/her?
Looking at the bamboo skewers that appeared before her, Li Mosi felt satisfied with her knowledge.
But when he saw the last message, his eyebrows twitched.
The system recognizes him as both benevolent and wise, which is good.
But he can see the environmental information himself.
Well, things have come to this point, let's deal with the disciples in front of us first.
As he helped Zi Yi up from the ground, he recalled his experiences of traveling to the present day.
At first, Li Mosi thought the strong goblin with the bone club was the boss.
But judging from Zi Yi's title now, he should have more say.
Moreover, the old goblin standing next to him also possesses magic.
Ironically, it was always the strong goblin who bossed around the other goblins.
The situation of this tribe is somewhat complicated.
Zi Yi was helped up and looked up at Li Mosi, saying, "Thank you, Master."
Despite being a goblin, it is quite polite.
Looking at the disciple in front of him, whose head barely reached his navel, Li Mosi sighed inwardly.
There's no going back to human society, but training disciples can earn you system rewards.
Only one can remain.
Having made up her mind, Li Mosi decided to start by understanding the current situation.
The old goblin next to him had already gotten up.
He watched as Li Mosi helped Zi Yi up and rubbed the wooden cane in his hand a few times.
Humph--
The old goblin let out a long breath, turned to face the saintess, raised his wooden staff towards the besieging goblins, and proclaimed in goblin language, "Now I am the sole elder. I declare that the chief's child, in my presence, will become the new chief!"
"What?"
"The chief's child will become the new chief!"
"What about the boss?"
Upon hearing this news, the goblins, who had just been as quiet as chickens, erupted into chaos once again.
This time, even the burly goblin being watched refused to back down, raising his bone club and shouting, "I object! He doesn't know the chief's magic! He's unworthy!"
Seeing the goblin fryer, Zi Yi turned his head in a daze. Li Mosi put her hand on his shoulder and asked, "What did they say?"
"Ah—" Zi Yi recovered from her daze and repeated to Li Mosi, "The elder said that, under his witness, I will become the new leader. But the other goblins in the tribe…"
Zi Yi didn't continue.
But clearly, they disagree.
That's way too hasty!
Li Mosi frowned and looked at the goblins who were in an uproar.
With his height, he could easily see what was happening in the goblin pile.
The strong goblin swung his bone club into the air, and a dozen or so goblins jumped up excitedly, while the others made a racket.
The situation within the tribe is immediately apparent.
Bang, bang,
The old goblin tapped the ground with his staff, and most of the goblins instantly fell silent.
He didn't let the goblins continue to express their discontent. A beam of light shot out from the cave, and the strong goblin was stunned by electricity.
"Shut up!" the old goblin said in a hoarse voice. "I am an elder. I declare the chief's child the new chief!"
After announcing it again, he ordered the goblins, "Women, stay here and cook!"
Upon hearing the order, the goblins dispersed from the saintess's side.
Many goblins, reluctant to part with their food, took one last look at the saintess.
It gave her goosebumps.
She's been silenced for so long, and now she feels like she understands what's happening, but she also feels like she doesn't really understand it.
The powerful old goblin and young goblin, along with a group of loyal followers, coerced others, but the strongest goblin was not the most powerful.
This looks familiar!
If the young goblin dies before it grows up...
In her daze, she watched as the old goblin walked towards her, untied some of the vines from her legs, and then took the vines from her waist.
What are you doing!
The old goblin took the saintess's hand and extended an invitation to Li Mosi: "Master, please take a look at the tribe's current state."
Li Mosi frowned, then nodded in agreement: "Let's go."
The old goblin nodded and led the saintess toward the cave entrance.
"Mmm!"
Li Mosi and Zi Yi got up and followed.
