Lord of the Truth



"Fugon Rexes... What a powerful name, It is my pleasure to meet you!" Robin nodded with a satisfied smile and continued, "I'm Robin Burton, and these are Caesar Burton, Alexander Levan, and Jabba."

Fogon looked at Robin for a moment and then passed his eyes to the three people sitting behind him who in turn nodded at him when their respective names were mentioned, then Fugon looked back at Robin and spoke, "Your friends here seem to understand what we say, especially that ~handsome giant~ over there, Why didn't they try to contact us earlier? This would have saved a lot of unnecessary pressure for both of us, but they kept on signaling and talking with that foreign language between themselves."

"This Unfortunately can't be helped, As I told you Brother Fugon, the chief of every generation is the only one who studies the ancient language and the real history. Technically it should have only been me who knew the language, but only recently I started spreading our ancient language among the youth of the tribe and started teaching some of the senior leaders myself, they already know a few words, but their knowledge is still superficial and without actual training in it. They were afraid that they would speak to you in that language, afraid to say something they did not mean and earn your enmity with, so they waited until I rose from my coma and came to talk to you myself." Robin spoke while nodding with a furrowed brow as if asking for forgiveness for not being a good teacher

But when he finished speaking at that point and found Fugon giving a small nod to indicate that he understood, Robin's countenance changed and he gestured behind him, "As for the handsome giant part..."

Jabba's eyes shivered when he saw Robin pointing toward him. He came to the planet Greenland with Robin as a kind of help for his master and to open his own horizons, but he already realized that he had become Robin's weakness in this campaign.

How can they be *lost relatives* when there is a 3-meter-tall blue giant walking among them? Ever since Robin opened his mouth and started telling those lies, Jabba knew it would be his biggest obstacle.

And not only him... There are thousands of Dwarfs and Starlings and a bunch of individuals from other species from Planet Nihari working in the Rune Masters and the Divine Blacksmiths Divisions, what would these local humans say when they see them on the steep hill? It's the whole circus out there!

"This MAN here is called Jabba, he is my personal disciple and the commander of the army in my absence, and he is undoubtedly one of the most capable sons of our tripe." Robin spoke with slightly furrowed brows and a firm tone, "He's a very intelligent and strong man, I hope you don't treat him any differently just because he looks a little different."

" A little... Different.." Elixe muttered and looked at Jabba again, even though she was standing behind her father and Jabba was sitting, he was still taller than her, not to mention his color!

"Little miss, We have been separated for hundreds of thousands of years, please don't apply your personal experiences to us. The tree father in our area used various poisonous plants to attack us over the years. And unfortunately, generation after generation of inhaling those poisonous gases affected our offspring, so you may find tall people like Jabba, or shorter people working in The divine blacksmith, and people with different eyes and long limbs working in Runes drawing, we even have people who are crimson in color and have horns!" Robin shook his head until his eyes welled up with tears, then looked at Fugon's face with determination, "Brother Fugon, we are a large, diverse tripe. if you are not ready to accept us as a family because of what that filthy tree father did to us, then there is nothing to talk about further, we will quietly leave and look for other relatives that are more open-minded!"

"Calm down, Brother Robin, who said anything about not accepting you? We were just wondering, wondering!" For the first time since the council started, Fogon's tone changed and he quickly gestured with both hands to Robin to calm down with an awkward smile.

"Brother Fugon, a few things are not to be taken lightly, Jabba is a good person and worked very hard to help the tribe to battle our way here and meet up with the rest of our kin, do you know how hard it is? but you treat him like a monster, Do you think this is acceptable? How would you feel if you were in his shoes?" Robin spoke with obvious annoyance

"Oh, you are right about that…" Fugon stopped waving and then gave Jabba a serious look, "…I apologize if I offended you, young man, I didn't know you were a victim of a Tree Father's dirty games, I owe you one."

"...."

Jabba gave a small nod with a sad face to keep up.

Fugon nodded smiling at Jabba again and then turned back to speak to Robin, "Would you calm down now? It was an unintentional mistake..."

Robin gave a big, satisfied smile in response to Fugon, this time it wasn't feigned, what just happened meant that the chief of the local human tribe believed everything said so far... This pushed the conversation to a whole new scale!

Then, after smiling, he sighed and said, "Heh~ Life is hard Brother Fugon, the Tree Fathers want to annihilate us completely, so we should unite and start counterattacking, why should we just defend?"

Fugon nodded a few times throughout Robin's words, and then asked, "...You are right, what do you think we should do, Brother Robin?"

"I dealt a heavy blow to the Tree Father in this region and destroyed a large part of its soul, so my suggestion is… Hmm? Brother Fugon?"
