Aside from me, Bai Ling was also shocked. She hadn't expected Wang Li to have such an idea.
Unlike me, Bai Ling was only stunned for a moment. Then, she turned to me and said, "Sage, Wang Li is right. If these children are raised well, they will be of great use in the future."
After being interrupted by Bai Ling, I calmed myself down and rubbed Wang Li's little head as a compliment. Then, I nodded to Bai Ling. "That's right. The Witchcraft Alliance is in dire need of manpower. It's a good thing to include this problem in the plan."
Bai Ling suddenly looked hesitant. After a moment of silence, she said hesitantly, "Sage, there's something... I'm not sure if I should say it."
I felt strange and turned to look at her. "Just say it."
After getting my permission, Bai Ling frowned and said, "Our tribe has always been small. On one hand, the living environment is bad, and on the other hand, our population is small.
This time, the number of people who returned from the Mountain and Sea Realm is far from what we expected... With the Monster race wreaking havoc, it's almost impossible for us to develop. "
I didn't know why Bai Ling suddenly changed the topic to the development of the Witchcraft Alliance, but seeing her hesitant expression, I nodded and encouraged her to continue.
The worry between Bai Ling's eyebrows hadn't disappeared, but she looked more determined. She lifted her head to look at me and continued, "From what I can see, in such a situation, if the witch tribe wants to develop, we have to absorb other powers … The children in front of us are the most suitable targets.
They are young, and they aren't people of metaphysics. They don't know the difference between the Witchcraft Alliance and the Witchcraft Alliance. Moreover, they are naturally intelligent. If we nurture them with the Witchcraft Alliance's spells, they will be no different from the Witchcraft Alliance! "
After hearing her words, I finally understood why she suddenly changed the topic and became so hesitant.
Bai Ling was the chief of the Witchcraft Alliance. She must have been very worried about the future of the Witchcraft Alliance. After the Mountain and Sea Realm opened, the reality was far from what they had expected. She and Nangong had probably suffered a great blow. It wasn't strange that she wanted to absorb other powers to join the Witchcraft Alliance.
As for the worry on her face, it was obvious that she was worried that I wouldn't agree.
Although she was the chief, I had the identity of the so-called 'Saint'. This was a major matter that concerned the rise and fall of the witch tribe, so she naturally had to ask for my permission.
In reality, Bai Ling was worrying too much. Compared to her, my sense of belonging to the Witch race was almost zero, and I wouldn't worry about the purity of my bloodline.
In my heart, apart from the difference between Wizard Qi and Dao Qi, I don't even differentiate between the Wizard Clan and the Human Clan.
After thinking for a while, I nodded and praised, "You're right. The difference between Witch Aura and Dao Aura is only in terms of power. In reality, since ancient times, the Witch Tribe has been living together with ordinary humans, and there's no difference between them.
"Now that the Sorcerer Alliance has been established, there's no need to look into the difference between the Sorcerer Tribe and the Human Tribe in the face of the rampaging Monster Tribe. I have no objections to recruiting more people to strengthen the Sorcerer Tribe.
As for this batch of young children, you and Wang Li can take care of them for the time being. You can choose their cultivation method based on their aptitude. Those who have a deeper sense of Qi of Dao will be taught by Wang Li. Those who have a deeper sense of Qi of Witchcraft will be taught by you. Even those who have the ability to cultivate Witchcraft and Witchcraft can be taught according to their aptitude.
In the future, save the other young children and use this as an example. "
When Bai Ling heard this, she gladly accepted the order. Wang Li was also quite eager to try. He was obviously very interested in being the Master of someone of the same age.
Thus, I smiled and gave him the task of comforting the young children for the time being.
Now that he could sense Qi of Dao, it shouldn't be a problem for him to use some introductory techniques to attract the young children and appease them.
After dealing with this matter, Bai Ling reported to me, "Sage, do we need to inform Duo Ji and the others about this?"
Her words reminded me of something.
The matter of taking in outsiders is related to the rise and fall of the Sorcerer Tribe. Although with my status, I can make the decision with just a word, Bai Ling and Duo Ji are the actual leaders of the Sorcerer Tribe. I have to inform them about this.
Bai Ling's reminder was clearly worried about Duo Ji's attitude. She wanted to use my status to make this matter go smoothly.
Of course, I wouldn't point it out. After thinking it through, I nodded in agreement. Bai Ling also told me that during the past few days, she had been spending some time with Duoji and the others in the Mountain and Sea Realm, telling them about what had happened in the mortal world.
They had just entered the mortal world, and there were many things that were very different from the Mountain and Sea Realm. That was why, given the current shortage of manpower, she didn't send them out. She wanted to wait until they had a basic understanding of the ways of the world.
Since it was time for Bai Ling to teach them, I went with her to see Duo Ji.
When we arrived, it was just as Bai Ling had said. All the members of the Witch Tribe from the Mountain and Sea Realm, regardless of their cultivation bases, were here.
From this, I could see that Bai Ling and Reverend Guan were very cautious, which made me feel a lot more at ease.
When Duo Ji saw me, he was as humble and respectful as before. He quickly saluted me and asked how I was doing.
I casually chatted with him for a bit, then indicated for Bai Ling to get to the point.
After hearing Bai Ling's words, Duo Ji looked hesitant and conflicted. Before he could say anything, the other members of the Witch Tribe standing behind him began to discuss the matter. Although no one dared to step forward to question Bai Ling, it was clear from their expressions that they weren't happy about the matter.
Originally, I hadn't given much thought to the opinions of the Witch Tribe of the Mountain and Sea Realm, but now that I saw their attitude, I quickly understood.
Compared to Bai Ling and the others, the Witch Tribe of the Mountain and Sea Realm lived in even worse conditions. They were constantly surrounded and slaughtered by the Demon Tribe, which inevitably gave them a strong sense of race. It was only natural that they would reject Bai Ling's proposal.
In some ways, I rather admired their strong sense of race. However, considering the current situation, it was a stumbling block in our fight against the Demon Tribe.
Bai Ling opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but I waved my hand to stop him. I raised my voice and spoke to Duo Ji, as well as his people. "There are differences in the Dao of Witchcraft, that is an undeniable fact. However, compared to the differences in the Dao of Witchcraft, the difference between the Witch Tribe and the Demon Tribe is even more important. It is also something that we care about.
"The Demon Tribe is now powerful. You can either experience the oppression and slaughter you have endured for thousands of years, or you can ally with other powers to strengthen yourselves and launch a counterattack, returning the humiliation you have endured for thousands of years. At this time, you have to make a choice."
Many times, when a matter reached a certain level, its true nature would become clearer.
After hearing my words, Duo Ji and his clansmen hesitated.
I didn't rush them. Instead, I brought Bai Ling out of the room and told Duo Ji to discuss the matter with his people. Once he had an answer, he would come out and inform me.
After the Mountain and Sea Realm had opened, the difference in power between the Witch Tribe and the Demon Tribe was obvious. One could imagine what kind of life the Witch Tribe had lived in the past years.
Therefore, under the temptation of returning the humiliation, their final decision was obvious.
As expected, after an hour, Duo Ji walked out of the house. After bowing to me again, he agreed to Bai Ling's suggestion wholeheartedly. However, he emphasized that we mustn't accept anyone related to the Monster race.
His words were like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow. There was a huge difference between the Human Tribe and the Demon Tribe, and there was a genetic barrier between the two. Therefore, it was impossible for anyone related to the Demon Tribe to exist.
Furthermore, after the Mountain and Sea Realm opened, the Human Tribe suffered a calamity. However, the Human Tribe had a large population, which was enough to support the growth of the Witch Tribe.
After I expressed my thoughts with a smile, Duo Ji had a strange expression on his face. He looked at me, then at Bai Ling. After a while, he said to me, "Sage, could it be that you don't know about the existence of half-beastmen?"
"Half-beastmen?"
This term was unfamiliar, but the moment I heard it, I thought of many things. Then, an expression of extreme disbelief appeared on my face.
