441 Abandoner
Important friend...
The smile on Walkley's face never changed, but it was just a faint smile, but it revealed a sense of alienation.
Gu Mengmeng suddenly felt powerless. Perhaps this was the reason why she was not as good as Ke'e. She would never learn how to control people's hearts. No matter how much she wanted to keep him, she would eventually lose this friend.
"Today, the leaders of the sixteen surrounding tribes also came with me to welcome the envoy. In exchange for water, they will return their tribes to Suode and become the envoy's affiliated tribes. Every year after the rainy season, they will offer twenty pieces of high-quality animal skins, and before the cold season, they will offer twenty large prey." Walkley explained the situation frankly.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. Monarchy? The weak tribes pay tribute to the powerful tribes in exchange for protection...
"Walkley, you are very comfortable as the city lord, you are about to become a local emperor."
Walkley chuckled, lowered his head humbly, and then stood up straight and said: "The current situation of Soder is naturally inseparable from the protection of the envoy uncle, but more of it is my planning and management. I ask myself if I can be the city lord, and I am worthy of the heaven and earth and the envoy."
Gu Mengmeng was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Walkley to say such a thing directly.
She thought that he at least hoped to get along well on the surface.
Walkley did not hesitate at all and continued: "Anyway, the envoy has no intention of unifying the beast world, so why can't you fulfill it for me? I guarantee your supremacy and solve all your troubles for you. I just want a position that you don't want. Why can't you give it to me?"
The beast world has its own survival rules.
Each tribe has independent or even opposing rules. Races also have different habits between races, and there is even a food chain relationship between predators and prey.
Unification?
That is impossible to do.
Moreover, Gu Mengmeng actually likes the current state of the Beast World, where people live in tribes and are close to each other.
She doesn't know what other tribes are like, but at least everything in Saint Naze was beautiful except for the annoying Nina.
Gu Mengmeng is not willing to forcibly break this beauty. She hopes to protect the Beast World as it should be.
But Walkley...
After looking at Walkley for a long time, Gu Mengmeng asked lightly: "Walkley, can't we go back?"
Walkley smiled and tilted his head and asked softly: "The envoy is the one who abandoned me, but where do you want me to go back to?"
"I didn't..." Gu Mengmeng blurted out the excuse.
Walkley: "When the envoy took the people of Saint Naze away and left me and Barrit alone, didn't he abandon us? Or, in the eyes of the envoy, that degree... is not called abandonment?"
"I..." Gu Mengmeng was speechless.
The original decision was correct from a macro perspective, but it failed Walkley and Barrit.
Walkley's tone was not sharp and was even very calm. He said, "Your Excellency the Envoy, don't be upset. I don't mean to blame you. Your decision is correct. It is the best decision for the tribe. Walkley did not blame you for anything. He just repositioned himself."
This position is not a friend...
Gu Mengmeng sighed and said nothing more. She only said, "After the dry season, I will take Sandy's family back to Saint Nazaire. If you are willing... Come with me then."
