Only then did he dare to straighten up slowly and turn around to look at Borui and the others with an arrogant attitude. His attitude changed 180 degrees: "You guys, come with me!"
He pointed at Adam and others, then called to Borui who was at the front, and calmed down a little: "Bori, please walk next to me."
All eyes were focused on Borui.
Borui was naturally calm and steady, and did not show any discomfort because of the attention of everyone. He followed the leader in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
The man leading the way had a panoramic view of the scene, and was secretly very satisfied with his performance. He turned around and softly explained the distribution and rules of the island in his ear as he walked.
"The person you just saw is Shi Lao, a direct descendant of the Theron family, and one of the most virtuous and respected elders on the island."
"The island is divided into the inner sect and the outer sect. The inner sect is born from the Theron family. The number of such people is relatively small and their status is relatively high."
"You and I both belong to the outer sect. The outer sect is responsible for handling chores and protecting everyone's safety."
See Borui curious.
He smiled and pointed at his nose: "Like you, I am a talented person selected by the family and selected to the island."
"It is already a great honor to be chosen like us. If we do better, we will be given the surname Theron by the family."
"Once you become a member of the Theron family, your children and grandchildren will be protected by the family. From the time they are born, they will be exactly the same as the people in the inner sect."
He looked at Borui again, his eyes full of longing and melancholy.
"It's just that this kind of opportunity is rare, and few people have received this honor so far."
Borui is more concerned about another situation: "What if you are not given a surname?"
"Hahaha, I knew you would care about this."
After the man laughed, he said in a good mood: "Even if we are not given a surname, we can guarantee that we will have enough food and clothing in this life, and our descendants will have priority."
"That is to say, once the island needs to select new talents, they will have an advantage over those outside! Because the island will first give our descendants a chance to focus on selection. If they are not selected this time, they can still participate in external competition.
Selection is equivalent to having two chances."
He saw the doubt in Borui's eyes, and then said unhurriedly: "I know you don't understand yet, it doesn't matter, you will understand what kind of existence the Theron family is when you stay on the island for a while.
.And what does it mean for us to have the opportunity as a foreigner to catch up with them?"
"In short, even if our descendants or we fail to stay for a long time in the future, after we go out, we will be existences that the big people outside dare not look down upon."
"Because...we are the ones who left the island!"
Borui could hear the pride and superiority in his tone, although he didn't agree with his so-called identity theory, and felt that the island's selection system actually divided people into three, six or nine grades.
But he didn't show it. He just smiled and said, "That's it. Thank you for clarifying my doubts."
"Hey, you're too polite." The man leading the way waved his hand and said with a smile: "I think Shi Lao admires you very much. If you hang out well, there may be a brother who will find you to support you one day."
Borui smiled and said nothing, just taking it as a casual comment.
But the leader looked more and more satisfied.
Inside the outer gate, it's hard for those in charge of chores to get ahead.
