Chapter 494: Chapter 428 Golia Tribe Conference_2

"When you challenge the mountains, you may also come here to rest your feet."

"And when you wish to challenge the mountains again, to climb the highest peak, I will hold a grand banquet to send you off and then await your next visit, to share your adventures, your stories of challenges," Gaven proposed a compromise.

It’s utterly foolish to coerce someone to change their habits with kindness.

On the contrary, it’s easier for one to accept changes that are made indirectly while respecting their customs.

At least Gaven saw a wavering look on Kellysha’s face, especially when he mentioned avoiding and banishing the old, weak, and sick; her expression changed the most. It was quite possible that someone close to her faced this situation, yet she couldn’t change this unique custom of the Golia, not even as the Great Shaman of the Mountain Tribe.

"This is an excellent proposal. All the warriors of our Mountain Tribe are present. Let us discuss this matter now, old rules first, starting with the captain of the warriors," spoke the Chieftain of the Mountain Tribe.

These Golia were only concentrating their minds, with the help of Kellysha, to rid themselves of the Necrotic Plague and were not unconscious.

As for their conversation, the nearby Golia heard everything loud and clear.

"I think this proposal goes against our Golia nature; avoidance and banishment are the natural laws of survival of the fittest. Such laws make us stronger, braver. Once this threat is gone, many will become as timid and weak as other races, not even daring to climb the mountains anymore," said a Golia who was both stocky and robust, standing out even among the Golia with a height of nearly three meters, breaking the upper limit of medium stature and entering the ranks of the large-bodied.

Kellysha softly explained to Gaven that this man was named Sagras the Fearless One, Eglaras’s biological brother, and the first warrior of the Mountain Tribe.

Hearing this, Gaven realized that his previous understanding of the Golia was too superficial; they indeed had their own set of processes for choosing a Chieftain.

The test was definitely not as simple as mere strength in combat; it also likely involved hunting, bravery, decisiveness, after all, he needed to lead a tribe to survival.

If not the Chieftain, then the position of the first captain of the warriors was undoubtedly his.

Their nicknames combined, they were known as the Fearless and the Fearless One.

"It should be so; we are the Golia, we are the mountains, we fear nothing, and we should not rest. Pain is our best whetstone, making us stronger, mightier."

"Creating a semi-permanent settlement in a comfortable environment is the coward’s way, corroding our bravery, making us fragile."

"I agree with the Fearless One’s view."

"I also agree."

Most of the Golia sided with Sagras, especially the robust Golia men; by looking at their faces, it seemed as if Gaven’s proposal was blasphemy against them, against the Golia.

Had it not been for Gaven earlier earning their respect through his valor,

they probably would have given him a piece of their mind already.

In such a tribal group meeting, Gaven wisely kept quiet, allowing himself to be a listener was already giving him enough face.

Several Golia seemed to have their own thoughts but hesitated to speak.

In the end, it was Kellysha who voiced a different opinion. "I support this matter. Avoidance is a unique punishment method belonging to our Golia, this is beyond doubt and cannot be changed, but exile is intended to prevent the weak from hindering the progress of our tribe," she said. "It’s a reluctant choice, not something that should be taken for granted.

If there’s an option to let them live, why not leave it to them?

Do not forget, not only do we all age, our parents, our children will face such a day, are all your hearts truly made of stone?

As for the argument that establishing a recovery zone will erode our will and make us weak, I disagree with it as well.

If your will can be eroded, it shows you’re not brave enough. If you were truly brave, why would you worry that a comfortable life could erode you?

In my view, leaving behind a life of comfort to climb peaks and undergo more trials is the most courageous act."

After listening to Kellysha’s speech, Gaven couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up behind her back.

This is a classic case of ’the spear that attacks the shield,’ starting from the most admired bravery of the Golia and turning the whole concept around.

If you can’t even resist the temptation of a comfortable life, what kind of fearless Golia are you?

Regarding the settlement issue, she approached it from the perspective of their parents and children rather than their own.

If it were about themselves, they might rebut with voluntary exile. But when it comes to family, it’s hard to speak out, because after all, they are flesh and blood, with hearts grown from flesh, incapable of being ruthless and heartless.

"Camellia is right. We indeed need such a place, especially for childbirth and infant care. Many of our children do not die in challenges, but from nutritional deficiencies, from our negligence in care," she said.

"We must eradicate the Necrotic Plague here, especially for those women and children, who are now too weak to keep up with our pace."

"We’re only responsible for establishing this recovery point. Whether one chooses exile or to live here is entirely up to personal will; we won’t force anything. This method might be more suitable."

With Kellysha leading the way, the hesitant members of the Golia Tribe began to support her vigorously, with female Golia making up the majority. Even if not for their own sake, they felt compelled to fight for a relatively comfortable environment in which their children could grow.

"The death of children is also a process of natural selection!"

"Natural selection doesn’t necessarily involve death. They simply cease to be Golia. We can simply avoid them and not let them contaminate our bloodline; it’s not essential to drive them to desperation."

"I think this matter requires careful consideration."

"I think this is a very reasonable course of action."

Soon, the topic saw two extremes: the opponents were vehemently against, and the proponents strongly advocated.

With Kellysha skillfully changing the concept, and most of her supporters being the flexible-minded spellcasters, she quickly rallied many neutrals to her side. The two factions were evenly matched.

No one could persuade the other.
