If his speculation was correct, this [Branding of the Loyal Rock] should have granted him an additional ability to discern loyalty.

  Whoever was 100% loyal to him would have this brand appear on their left arm. Since they were completely loyal, they were naturally his own people.

  Moreover, relying solely on the ogres would definitely not be sufficient to achieve his goals.

  In the future, the Dragon's Lair Tribe would inevitably move towards racial diversification.

  Thus, ensuring and confirming the loyalty of other races was of utmost importance.

  With this brand, he now had a basis for entrusting important tasks to creatures outside the Dragon's Lair ogre race.

  Although he didn't know how this brand discerned loyalty, those with the brand were surely absolutely loyal.

  After all, the description clearly stated that it would only appear with absolute loyalty.

  Gorgin was very satisfied. When he walked out of his mother's hut, he saw his mother observing her own arm by the campfire.

  The left head noticed Gorgin first.

  "Gorgin, you're the one behind this, aren't you?"

  The right head was a bit surprised.

  "It doesn't look like a magic pattern... But it's constantly emitting energy fluctuations. It seems to be related to earth elements..."

  She was very curious and felt the energy on her body surface.

  "It seems that my defense has increased a bit."

  Gorgin was a bit astonished.

  Why did his mother also have it?

  Didn't it say that only those who were absolutely loyal to him would have it?

  His mother's feelings for him were that of a mother towards her son.

  Where did this so - called loyalty come from?

  But since it could enhance his mother's defense, Gorgin didn't bother to delve deeper.

  "This is called the Branding of the Rock.

  It has a certain protective ability against physical and magical damage," Gorgin explained briefly.

  "Those who have this pattern can be completely trusted, regardless of their race."

  horne pondered over his words.

  It seemed that her son had obtained something extraordinary.

  Gorgin summoned all the tribe members and gathered them in the center of the tribe.

  By then, the Dragon's Lair Tribe was no longer the small tribe with only twenty ogres.

  With all races gathered, it somewhat resembled the raid - assembly scene in his previous - life World of Warcraft tribe.

  Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Everyone looked at Gorgin in confusion, but Gorgin remained silent.

  He just walked around the tribe members, inspecting them.

  As expected, all the ogres had the brand. Among the attendants, only the succubus Karin had the brand.

  None of the slaves and people from Blue Star had any pattern on their left arms.

  However, a few of the gnolls, including the Dog Captain, had the brand.

  This was beyond Gorgin's expectations.

  He didn't expect this group of hyena - like creatures to be so loyal to the tribe.

  Consequently, his gaze towards those gnolls with the brand became a bit more amicable.

  Although these gnolls might not be very useful, as long as they were absolutely loyal to him, he might as well consider them as a few talking dogs.

  Anyway, they didn't pose much of a burden, and they could even guard the door.

  Gorgin stood in front of the campfire, with his mother behind him.

  "You can check for yourselves!" Gorgin raised his left arm and showed the brand.

  "This is the brand of the tribe, a testament to loyalty. It is a mark that can only be obtained by those who are absolutely loyal to the tribe and the chief!"

  The people below didn't have the ability to sense magic, so they naturally couldn't feel the magic fluctuations on their bodies.

  The careless ogres, if not for Gorgin's mention, wouldn't even have known that they had a brand on their arms.

  There were also those who had noticed it but remained silent, such as Karin.

  She had discovered it the moment it appeared, but she didn't know what it was.

  "Raise your left arms. Those with the brand, take two steps forward!"

  All the members with the brand, including the ogres, stepped forward and stood by the campfire.

  Those without the brand were left with pale faces.

  For example, Karlov. He was the only one among the three foreign managers who didn't have the brand.

  After all, it was impossible to talk about absolute loyalty with someone from Blue Star who had progressive ideas.

  "Very good!" Gorgin first affirmed those members with the brand.

  "Your loyalty makes me very happy. Especially you, little hyena. Your loyalty surprised me a bit."

  The Dog Captain quickly knelt down to show his submission. "

  Get up. Tonight, I will take this opportunity to announce the tribe's hierarchy for now. First and foremost, the tribe belongs to me and my mother. ”

  “This goes without saying. If anyone disagrees, they can come and talk to me. My mother and I are the absolute masters. "

  "Next are my ogre tribesmen. This is the first tier."

  "Secondly, there are you foreigners who have the brand. I now declare that you have officially become members of the Dragon's Lair Tribe. "

  “The tribe will not restrict your actions and freedom. You can proudly claim to be members of the Dragon's Lair Tribe when you are outside! You will also be protected by the tribe. "

  "However, at the same time, you also need to make corresponding contributions. Except for the ogres, the tribe doesn't support idle people."

  "Next are those who don't have the brand but have made contributions to the tribe. "

  "As long as you are still useful, the tribe will protect you. But if you become useless, the tribe won't kill you. Expulsion will be the greatest mercy shown to you!"

  "Finally, there are the slaves."

  As he said this, Gorgin cast a cold and menacing gaze at the slaves that had just been brought back today.

  "You are at the bottom of the tribe and may be treated as food at any time. "

  "If you want to be promoted, you either need to make great contributions or offer your absolute loyalty and obtain the brand. Otherwise..."

  "Just tremble in constant fear."

  Finally, Gorgin turned his gaze to Karlov.

  "You've disappointed me, Karlov. The tribe has treated you well... But you... are unable to offer your loyalty. Pray that you will always be useful, Karlov."

  Gorgin's cold gaze almost scared Karlov out of his wits.

  "Karin, you're doing great. As a member of the tribe, except for me, you can decide whether to serve customers or not. If you don't want to, no one can force you."

  Gorgin was becoming more and more satisfied with this succubus.

  She was good - looking, had a great figure, exuded an exotic charm, and had small horns. Now she was also highly loyal.

  Karin's eyes lit up, and then she bowed solemnly.

  "Thank you for the chief's favor. The chief's will will always be the direction for Karin to move forward!"

  "Okay! That's all. Disperse!"

  Gorgin waved his hand. Except for the ogres, all the other members returned to their resting places with various thoughts in their minds.

  In the Pleasure House, Karin had her own seat and bed.

  Looking at the attendants standing in a row in front of her, she had a faint smile on her lips.

  "The chief treats us so well. Why can't I get your loyalty?"

  "It's really disappointing..."

  Karin thought that today was the happiest day in her life.

  Not only had she become the manager of the Pleasure House, but she had also obtained the brand and become a true member of the tribe.

  Moreover, she didn't need to serve customers anymore!

  However...

  The chief still needed to be served well...

  Karin stretched out her slender tongue and licked her charming lips.
