"Treating lizardmen like miners …"
Lola was deep in thought. After a while, she suddenly asked, "But if you train them and let their numbers increase, what if it becomes another disaster in the future?"
"That's easy. If they can integrate into a society of order, that's naturally the best. If they are still like wild beasts, then we can only deal with them the same way we deal with wild beasts."
Tang En did not have the slightest intention of being merciful at this time. He said without hesitation, "Accidents often happen in the mine, so it's natural for some lizardmen to die, right?"
Once creatures with strong reproductive abilities had a stable living environment, they could easily erupt into a disaster. If this disaster was to be prevented in advance, then the only way was to take the initiative to control their living conditions.
Tang En could tame them, so naturally, he could destroy them. He could bring them to the mine and provide them with food. What they had to pay in return was labor. This was a rare opportunity for them to survive.
Lizardmen and kobolds had a certain level of intelligence, but they were not as clear as other intelligent creatures. To be precise, they were half-beastmen defined by the Ryan Empire. Their brains were muddled, and they could learn simple words and understand simple orders. However, they could not form a complete conversation, so they could not communicate at all.
If the lizardmen could evolve further, form real intelligence, and gradually integrate into a society of order and become a docile race, Tang En would not mind giving them a reasonable and legal racial status.
However, if they only knew how to work and eat like wild beasts, and if there were too many of them and they wanted to turn on their masters, then they could only be dealt with like wild beasts.
At that point, the injured, old, and unable to provide labor would be abandoned and directly destroyed. At the same time, the young would be raised in captivity and completely domesticated into livestock that sold labor like horses.
Not to mention that Tang En was cruel, his methods were actually very gentle.
"Forget it, I don't care so much. Anyway, if this is what you want to do, I'll help you."
Lola was too lazy to think so much. It was just lizardmen. If they did not go too deep and cause trouble, she could destroy them all by herself. They would not be able to do anything.
"What I want to know now is the areas where lizardmen often appear. We need to catch some lizardmen first and train them."
Barod looked at him curiously. "What do you want me to do?"
Tang En revealed a devilish smile. "Have you heard of Beast Tamers?"
Barod grinned. "No, but I'm looking forward to seeing how you teach those bastards a lesson."
"Of course, we need to catch some lizardmen first."
"That's simple."
Laura smiled. "Find a passage and put some food there. I'm sure they'll take the bait in a while. Just make a cage trap and wait."
Lola's plan was quite simple, but it had to be said that it was a very effective trap for the lizardmen. After smelling the scent of food, their instinct to eat would make them go all out.
Rowling immediately called over some dark elven guards and gave them instructions. They immediately went to carry it out.
After explaining the matters here, Tang En planned to go to the hammer-forging fort to deal with the kobolds, but Lola stopped him.
"Honey, aren't you going to see our 'child'?"
Child!?
Rowling turned pale with fright. When did Imperial Mother and Darling have a child!?
"You mean Xiaoxiao?"
Tang En was startled. He thought of the cute stone golem. In the past, he would occasionally find time to send it some spirit crystals, but he rarely came because he was too busy. The spirit crystals were sent by Lola.
Lola nodded. "Yes, it's very bored there. It misses you a lot."
At this time, she actually felt like a mother.
Tang En thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, let's go visit it."
Speaking of which, before leaving, he had promised to accompany it often, but because he was too busy, he only came a few times. Tang En felt very guilty.
Barod stayed in Shahar. Originally, only Tang En and Lola were going, but Rowling insisted on going, so he had to bring her along.
After arriving at the mana removal stone cave, Tang En endured the strange feeling of his mana being isolated and took the crane to the bottom of the canyon.
The canyon was no longer as desolate as before. Ever since Tang En and Xiaoxiao formed a partnership, Xiaoxiao would control the stone golems to send large amounts of mana removal stones here every day. Hundreds of dark elves had built some houses here and were stationed here to receive the stones.
After greeting the busy dark elven soldiers, Tang En shouted towards the canyon, "Xiaoxiao!"
His voice echoed in the canyon. Moments later, a small figure suddenly jumped out of the mana removal stone vein. It was the cute and cute soul stone golem, Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Tang En, Xiaoxiao happily ran over. "Tang En … Sow (Lola glared fiercely at Tang En) …"
"It's Lola! Not a sow! "
"Lola … is a sow?"
"Wrong! It's Lola, not a sow! "
"Sow … is Lola?"
"Damn it! Look at what you've done!"
Lola was very annoyed. If they were on the bed in the boudoir, Twain could do whatever he wanted. But this guy just had to make a casual joke at that time, and it was firmly remembered by this soul. Lola had wanted to destroy Xiao Xiao more than once or twice.
Sow?
Lorraine's mouth twitched, revealing a subtle smile.
She seemed to have forgotten that if Lola was a sow, then what was she?
Tang En laughed awkwardly. He didn't expect Xiaoxiao to remember it so clearly.
"Xiaoxiao, she's called Lola, not a sow. Don't call her by the wrong name."
"Lola …"
Xiaoxiao seemed to be very reluctant to change the way she addressed Lola. Only then did Lola relax.
"How have you been recently?"
Tang En took out a soul crystal and handed it to Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao happily took the soul crystal and swallowed it. She looked at Tang En with her cute eyes. "Not good … Gate … So many … Demons …"
Tang En was startled and frowned. This was unexpected news.
"Take us to see it."
"Okay …"
Xiaoxiao nodded. Then the earth rumbled, and the overturned rocks quickly formed a stone giant that was several meters tall. The stone giant carried the three of them and ran into the depths of the canyon.
When they passed through the illusion of the wall again and arrived at the empty cave, Tang En couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
The black-purple portal with a diameter of a hundred meters was no different from before. The only difference was that in front of the portal, two tall stone giants had appeared. Together with the original stone giant, they formed a tight defense line.
The number of demon skeletons around them suddenly increased, and through the distorted portal, they could clearly see the demons in the Abyss of Purgatory on the other side!
There weren't so many demons last time!
"So many demons!"
Lorraine exclaimed and took the opportunity to jump into Tang En's arms, hugging his waist tightly. She vividly acted as a little girl in fear.
Lola also became more serious. "The demons found this portal!?"
"It depends on the situation."
Tang En frowned. Because no one had passed through the portal, no one knew what was on the other side of the portal. The Abyss of Purgatory was rumored to be very large, no less than Prandal. In such a huge area, a portal with a diameter of a hundred meters was too inconspicuous.
However, on the other side of the distorted portal, the demons seemed to have formed an army. They were obviously observing the situation here, but they did not act rashly. Perhaps it was because all the demons that came in before had died, so they stopped.
"Recently … there have been a lot of … demons …"
Xiaoxiao spoke and gestured, finally letting Tang En understand what had happened recently.
Since a few months ago, the demons that only appeared sporadically began to appear more frequently. The sudden increase in the number of demons brought a lot of trouble to Xiaoxiao. She had no choice but to increase the number of stone giant guards and guard this place to the death.
In this area, the power of the Demonic Removal Stone vein was enough to defeat any demon. One that came in would die, and two that came in would die. Tang En even found the remains of a Demon Lord here!
Perhaps even a Duke Demon would suffer if he was not careful when he suddenly appeared in this environment.
But why was it like this?
Tang En furrowed his brows. Could it be his fault again? Xiaoxiao could not accurately describe the time. He could only guess that a few months ago, it might be when he was acting cool and tearing the earth to stop the army …
But that did not make sense. Could tearing the earth change the situation on the other side of the portal?
In the end, the puzzled Tang En could only rub Xiaoxiao's head and praise it for doing a good job, which made Xiaoxiao very happy.
Tang En found that Xiaoxiao was becoming more and more like a pet. It was just that this pet was a little strange. Her real body was a mine …
"Pay more attention to this place. If anything happens, contact me immediately."
Tang En reminded Laura. Although those demons could not leave with Xiaoxiao's obstruction, it was better to be safe than sorry. Who knew what the demons would do when they went crazy? If the demons really rushed out, he would have to deal with the trouble here first.
Laura nodded in understanding. The Demonic Removal Stone Cave was not far from Shar 'hera. If the demons really escaped, the dark elves would also suffer. She had to be careful.
After chatting with Xiaoxiao for a while and feeding her to help her master more vocabulary, Tang En and the others prepared to return.
Xiaoxiao reluctantly sent them off and returned to the cave alone. She squatted on the ground and stared at the portal in a daze.
However, at this moment, its big, adorable eyes had clearly become more lively.
Barod looked at the three with a strange expression. "You're back from visiting your son?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Tang En was speechless. "How's the situation?"
"The timing is just right. We've already caught five lizardmen."
"Not bad. We can start experimenting."
Tang En smiled. "Prepare some more food. I'm going to start taming beasts."
