Quadruple split.

Chapter 2353 Whimsical

Although he was suppressed back to reality from his fantasy by Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge as expected, Wang Badan still remained quite excited for a long time afterwards. The reason was easy to guess. It was naturally because Peschi had just promised to help him activate his bloodline potential.

Indeed, Wang Badan thought that his growth rate was not slow. After all, according to his theory of "I'm just a baby less than one year old", he could break through from the shell to the high-level level in just a few months. This was a growth rate that ordinary dragons could hardly reach. You must know that even for the dragon clan, the lower limit was the high-level peak rather than the epic level. So strictly speaking, Wang Badan had reached the upper limit of many dragons' lives when he was less than one year old.

The reason why he did not seem to be inflated naturally had nothing to do with his character and qualities. In the final analysis, it was because this achievement was far from enough for him. It was like the return of the Dragon King, but the value of a high-level peak sub-dragon species and a legendary descendant of the Dragon King were two completely different concepts. We can understand that, although he looked very "turtle-like" and was essentially half a "dragon", Wang Badan was still very "cowardly" in his bones.

To sum up, although Wang Badan doesn't look like a thing...

Well, he is indeed a rubbish in essence, but his desire to become stronger is in some sense no weaker than that of someone like Xinglong who is so strong that it is terrifying.

  Not only that, in addition to the immediate benefits of becoming stronger, including but not limited to being able to dominate in various aspects, Wang Badan longs for power for another reason, that is, after becoming stronger, he can use the [Blood Contract] to make 'Mo' in the Realm of Innocence achieve twice, three times, five times or even ten times the result with half the effort on the road to growth!

On the one hand, although Wang Badan has a huge room for growth in his ideology and morality, he always cares for the people around him in his own way. Among them, Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, who first freed him from the egg, are the closest to him. Therefore, Wang Badan, who has been taking advantage of Mo Tan in every possible way, naturally would not mind letting his elder brother take advantage of him.

On the other hand, Wang Badan knew very well that making Mo Tan stronger would be beneficial to everyone around him, and as his guardian, Wang Badan was one of the biggest beneficiaries (), so he simply couldn't wait for Mo Tan to become stronger, and even complained about his low online rate every now and then.

Therefore, when he heard that he had a way to "awaken his bloodline", Wang Badan was so happy that he almost flew away. As for the truthfulness of Peschi's words, this young but shrewd turtle did not have any doubt at all. After all, he firmly believed that birds of a feather flock together. Since Ms. Peschi was Largo's childhood sweetheart, she was most likely a fool who kept her word!

Since he and Mo Tan are blood partners, even if he looks a little too lively and cute, in essence he must be a good turtle with great chivalry, light and justice!

Mo Tan and the others and Largo did not stay by the car for too long. Less than five minutes after Peschi and her colleagues from the Archaeologists Association left, the new generation of [Destroyer] mercenaries, all from the 'Loya' tribe, ran back to carry the second batch of food. In addition to these thirty handsome boys and girls, there were another thirty or forty people who also ran over this time. More than half of them were middle-aged men who were in good spirits and obviously older than Largo, and the other half were children ranging from five to teenagers.

Many of the middle-aged men jogged to the front of the car and helped the mercenary members carry the food, while others walked up to Largo and greeted him warmly and familiarly, and by the way, they also greeted everyone in the Paw Patrol very politely.

Just as Mo Tan had learned from Largo before, these middle-aged men, without exception, were all members of the [Wreck-It Ralph] mercenary group when they were young, and most of them had worked with Largo, who was only a dozen years younger than them. In other words, these uncles and aunts, who were dressed very simply and looked extremely kind and honest, were all predecessors of the current [Wreck-It Ralph] leader.

As for those children, they are guardians who are not yet able to take charge on their own. In Largo's words, they are the future of the 'Loya' tribe, and most of them are the reserve force of the [Destroyer King] mercenary group.

The children who appeared here at this moment could be said to be the most lively, active and naughty ones in the tribe. Therefore, these children who got up early (or did not sleep at all) immediately became so excited that they could hardly control themselves when they found that the grain transport team had returned and the tribe was about to start the "feast". They rushed to greet them.

It is worth mentioning that although these Highland children are just "children", the largest twelve-year-old boy among them is as big as Mo Tan, while the smallest ones are only slightly shorter than Ji Xiaoge.

Apart from anything else, just this development speed has already firmly crushed mainstream races like orcs with relatively strong basic qualities.

Just like that, everyone soon walked towards the direction of the tribe while chatting, surrounded by the children. Perhaps it was because they were naturally enthusiastic and heroic, or perhaps it was because they had heard from Birge and others that this team of adventurers would be of great help to the [King of Destruction], these locals were not at all indifferent and xenophobic, and could even be said to be quite enthusiastic, which made Mo Tan and the others feel at home.

Through the casual chats along the way, everyone also gained a brief knowledge about the "banquet".

Simply put, the 'banquet' is a huge dinner party that the entire tribe participates in every time the [Wreck-It Ralph] mercenary group transports food back here, and it lasts until the next sunrise. In simple terms, people take out a considerable portion of the food they transported back and put it in the central square, and then eat and chat, eat and make noise, eat and play, eat and fall in love, and eat and practice skills. The main theme is casualness.

In addition, young people can bring their loved ones from other tribes with them. Although everyone joins the mercenary group at a relatively early age, considering that Highlanders are fully developed physically at around the age of twelve, and that they may go through a "decline" that can occur at any time after the age of forty and take their lives, it is not uncommon for Highlanders to become parents at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

In Largo's words, although the young men of the Loya tribe generally join the mercenary group at the age of 17 or 18, more than 60% of them will find a partner before that, and eventually both of them will join the mercenary group.

As for how to find a partner...

"Because of the mercenary group, our children from Loya are considered to be relatively 'worldly' among the Highlanders."

Half an hour later, beside the bonfire in the central square, Largo raised his oak wine glass and clinked it with Motan's. He cheerfully explained to the winged beauty next to the latter, "Every time we bring back food, we will share with the children what we have seen and heard outside. The elders who have returned to the tribe were also mercenaries who traveled with us all day long. Just think about it, when the boys from other tribes were still telling the girls they liked the outdated "The Story of Lasang and Ajima", the boys from Loya could already recite "The Little Girl Selling the Pyroblast Scroll" by heart."

"Is it that A-Sang who did this?"

"Xiaolu asked about it, and it was indeed his doing."

Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge exchanged a subtle glance, then gave Largo a thumbs up at the same time, expressing their affirmation of the Loya tribe, which was conservative but suspected to be too urbanized.

“That’s not all.”

Looking at the tribesmen around him who were bustling about, singing and dancing, drinking and playing finger-guessing games, and listening to the boasting of the turtle, Largo smiled from the bottom of his heart and said proudly, "Every time we come back, in addition to food, we often bring some interesting gadgets, such as alchemical props or engineering toys, to give to the children. These things are enough to give them an absolute advantage when competing with others for boys and girls."

Ji Xiaoge chuckled and sighed, "You guys are too bullying."

"You're right, Miss Night Song, this is very bullying." However, Largo gave a very formal answer to this joke, then drank the liquor in the glass in one breath and let out a long sigh: "But in our view, the essence of life is to grow and reproduce, and constantly expand our own tribe. My tribe is the 'Highlanders' and 'Loya'. Perhaps this idea is no different from that of wild beasts in the eyes of many people, but you have to know that we are different from mainstream races such as humans, orcs, elves, and lizardmen. Our tribe is very fragile, so fragile that it may be crushed by history and become extinct forever if we are not careful."

Ji Xiaoge and Mo Tan were stunned at first, but then they showed awe to Largo after putting themselves in his perspective.

"I don't mind choosing barbarism over civilization, nor do I mind being labeled as utilitarian. The world I have seen is big, big enough to dilute all suffering; but my own world is small, so small that it can only accommodate the survival of Loya."

Largo shrugged, looked up at the warm and twisted air above the bonfire, and after a long silence, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Our time is too short, so short that we don't even have time to complain."

Mo Tan drank the sweet wine in his glass silently and said seriously: "You have done very well."

"Haha, sorry, sorry. Maybe I was influenced too much by Pesci when I was a kid. I always think about all sorts of things and make myself look like a complainer. In fact, if we really use the entire continent as a benchmark, we Highlanders are pretty good."

As if aware of the heavy atmosphere, Largo immediately waved his hand, refilled his glass with liquor, and grinned, "Let's talk about something good and realistic. Do you know that based on the examples I just gave, the young people of our Loya are very popular on weekdays, so the size of the clan has more than doubled over the years."

"Yes!"

Ji Xiaoge clapped her hands and said seriously, "If the mercenary group is powerful and has a large scale, the children of the tribe will become popular, and then more people will want to join. After joining, they will join the mercenary group, and then the scale of the mercenary group will expand again! What a great virtuous cycle!"

Largo nodded proudly and said, "Miss Yege is right. Over the years, both the tribe and the mercenary group have expanded a lot. If we can maintain this pace in the next few generations, we may even be able to challenge the highest-level mercenary group."

"The most?"

Yaya, holding a large piece of barbecue, strolled over with his tail wagging. He rubbed Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge with his greasy smiling face, and tilted his head to look at Largo curiously.

"Haha, there's more to it than that."

At the same time, Alkik, the oldest man in the village and the former deputy leader of the Destroyer Mercenary Group, who had the same epic strength as Largo, strode over and said with a hearty smile, "Largo always told me that in addition to expanding the mercenary group, he also wanted to establish a chamber of commerce at the right time, and also wanted to pay scholars from the Academy City to give lectures in the tribe. This kid has always had big ideas since he was a child."

Largo coughed heavily twice, and scratched his cheeks awkwardly, which were red from alcohol or something else: "It's just an idea..."

"That's more than just an idea."

Alkik patted Largo's shoulder vigorously and said to Mo Tan cheerfully, "Brother Mo, you must not know that Largo has a long-term vision. When he was still young, he told us that Loya will definitely become the most popular tribe among the Highlanders in the Savage Highlands. We will accept any Highlander who wants to join and grow to a level that others can hardly imagine. In the end-"

"Unite?"

Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a subtle solemnity in his words: "Founding a country? Libang?"

"I don't have such big ambitions, and I know that it's no longer popular for a group of people of the same race to get together to do things, but the Highlanders need a little change."

Largo looked directly into Mo Tan's eyes and said sternly, "[Merchant State Meladia], [War State Daragab], [Gambling State Silcos], these so-called Wild Highland Centers, not an inch of soil truly belongs to the Highlanders. Apart from business, no scholars want to overcome our Highlanders' [decline] and reverse their short-lived fate. But if we can unite and transform from tribes to 'one' tribe, then countless problems that we can hardly solve now, or even dare not think about, may be solved in the future."

"I never thought you were still so naive until now, Largo."

"Peggy? Why are you…"

"I just finished dealing with things over there, and when I came here I heard someone having some weird thoughts here."

"Fantastic? Why are you so..."

"Why do you think so?"

Pesci pushed up her glasses, a hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes, and she sighed softly——

"That's because, of course, those people behind the [Business State Meladia], [War State Daragab], and [Gambling State Silcos] who are hostile to you will react the moment they realize that the situation is about to get out of control, causing the [Loya Tribe] and the [Destruction King Mercenary Group] to fall apart and disappear in the blink of an eye."
