Chapter 113: I’m Happy to Be a Prankster
Inside the Mirror Tribe’s Chief’s tent, Luo Ji didn’t receive Luo Jin’s intel, but he unexpectedly received another group of people…
“You’re saying Savage Bear is currently waiting outside with another unfamiliar young man, asking to see me?”
Luo Ji rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
“Could it be that my intentions have been seen through?”
“This is interesting…”
Thinking of this, Luo Ji gestured to Luo Yong, who happened to be standing in his tent.
“Luo Yong, go bring those two to me.”
“Yes.”
Luo Yong quickly left the tent and headed toward the city gate.
Looking at Luo Yong walking toward him, Zhao Pan, who was guarding behind the city wall, had a look of understanding in his eyes.
“Is the Chief meeting them?”
“Yes.”
Luo Yong nodded.
“Open the city gate.”
Since confirming the invasion of outsiders into this world, the Mirror Tribe’s city gate had been closed, and at Luo Ji’s instruction, Zhao Pan, his personally appointed general for city defense, was personally stationed there.
“Open the city gate!”
At Zhao Pan’s command, the two strongmen responsible for guarding the city gate mechanism immediately began to turn the winch in front of them.
The heavy city gate slowly rose with a clanking sound.
This scene undoubtedly brought a huge shock to Savage Bear and A’Lu, who had never witnessed such a sight before.
Let alone them, even the citizens within the Mirror Tribe would run to watch every morning when the city gate was first built, making it seem like a flag-raising ceremony.
After the city gate opened, Luo Yong emerged with four shield-axemen.
Seeing the two dumbfounded, he inwardly gloated while subconsciously raising his chin slightly.
“Follow me.”
“Our Chief has agreed to see you.”
Savage Bear and A’Lu, intimidated by the city gate, were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of morale.
As they approached the city gate, they hesitated for some reason.
Just by looking at it, they could feel how heavy the gate was.
If it suddenly fell, it would surely kill them instantly.
It was definitely a lie to say they weren’t nervous at all.
After walking a few steps, Luo Yong saw Savage Bear and A’Lu staring at the raised city gate, somewhat afraid to move forward.
He couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
In the beginning, many people in their tribe were also scared.
For safety, the ropes of the city gate mechanism were inspected every night when it was lowered, and a new one was replaced periodically.
At the same time, as a precaution, Luo Ji also specifically assigned two strongmen to guard it.
No accidents had ever occurred, and after a while, everyone got used to it and no longer had any fear.
However, Savage Bear and A’Lu were clearly not included in that.
“Hey, how long are you going to stand there foolishly?”
“Don’t waste time, come in quickly!”
Luo Yong hid his wicked grin, feigning a serious expression as he urged Savage Bear and A’Lu.
His smug demeanor made even Zhao Pan, who was usually stern, almost unable to contain his laughter.
Savage Bear and A’Lu, however, were not in the mood to pay attention to that.
Savage Bear bluntly asked.
“Hey, this thing won’t suddenly fall down, right?”
“What ‘this thing’?”
“This is called a city gate!”
“It uses… what’s it called?”
Luo Yong had originally wanted to boast, but he forgot the name of the mechanism when the words reached his lips.
Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough to simply give them a look of disdain.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”
“It’s a very complex mechanism.”
“Hurry up and come in!”
Zhao Pan, who had originally wanted to remind Luo Yong that the ‘thing’ was called a pulley system, looked at Luo Yong’s shameless display and finally couldn’t hold it in.
Before his facial expression broke down, he quickly turned away to secretly laugh for a bit…
After much persuasion, the two were finally brought into the camp.
Then, seeing the city gate close, A’Lu and Savage Bear’s faces showed another wave of astonishment.
Immediately after, before they could catch their breath, the sheer scale of the Mirror Tribe behind the city walls made the two freeze on the spot.
The scale of this camp was so enormous that A’Lu’s first reaction was that the Mirror Tribe had a larger population than their Barbarian Bear Tribe!
After all, in this era, the size of a tribe’s camp and the number of tents were directly proportional to the tribe’s population.
However, the truth was that A’Lu was overthinking it.
Unlike other barbarian tribes in this world, most other tribes developed one step at a time, while Luo Ji had a relatively long-term plan.
He had encircled this area with a city wall according to city-building standards, so it was naturally large.
However, their Mirror Tribe’s actual population was still less than two hundred people.
The existence of the Mirror Tribe completely exceeded their imagination.
The journey there had brought too many shocks to A’Lu and Savage Bear, causing their facial expressions to become completely stiff.
It wasn’t until they entered the Chief’s tent and met Luo Ji that the two, who had been in a state of shock, finally came to their senses.
Luo Ji’s attire at this time hadn’t changed much from the previous two times they had seen him, but whether it was the change in circumstances or psychological effects at play, looking at Luo Ji sitting inside the tent, the two felt an immense pressure.
“So, have you come to surrender to me?”
Looking at the two entering, Luo Ji suddenly asked playfully, immediately disrupting A’Lu’s meticulously prepared plan.
A flicker of panic flashed in his eyes.
After all, he was still young and he panicked at the slightest unexpected situation.
Luo Ji’s actions at this moment, to use a modern saying,
“Why aren’t you following the script?”
“Are you happy to be a prankster?”
Luo Ji stated.
“I am happy.”
The other party’s prompt surrender had, to some extent, disrupted his original plan.
This was because this situation forced him to accept it.
If he refused, the Barbarian Bear Tribe would definitely risk finding another way to survive and would no longer obediently wait there for him to collect them.
This would be equivalent to letting a large number of laborers and Savage Bear, a fierce general, go for nothing.
But once he accepted, with so many mouths to feed, how would he manage?
Anyone would get a headache.
A’Lu had clearly guessed Luo Ji’s thoughts and intentions with 80% to 90% accuracy.
He knew the Barbarian Bear Tribe was hopeless, so he simply surrendered.
While surrendering, he didn’t forget to give Luo Ji a headache with the food problem, which was a subtle way of retaliating for the frustration Luo Ji had previously caused him.
However, Luo Ji was always the type of person who thought, ‘If you make me unhappy, then I’ll definitely not let you off easy.’
This troublesome food problem was 100% going to land on his head, but before it did, he wanted to mess with this kid a bit!
This was probably Luo Ji’s current mindset.
