"Hiss... be gentle." Noel showed a rare expression of pain. It seemed that this thread had done a lot of harm to him.
Su Ming'an helped him untie the silk thread as carefully as possible and wound it from the front to the back. He felt that there was really no difference between making and making the rice dumplings.
During this period, people on the ground were still kneeling in neat rows.
As for Edward, this guy is not good at anything else. He can really run away quickly. The moment he saw Michael kneeling down, Edward immediately crushed the prop and ran away.
After helping Noel untie the thread, Noel went to give Xiber a tool to suppress the curse.
Su Mingan began to ask Michael.
According to Michael, these people are willing to support him to become the next patriarch.
There are five elders in the first tribe, and Michael is one of them. He represents the power of the "Heresy Trial". There are twenty-four members of the Inquisition, all of whom are proficient in using the power of their own curses.
The other four elders are the eldest elder Fengle Zewan who is from the inheritance family, the second elder Tuyuan who is responsible for sacrifices, the third elder Guangli who is responsible for teaching young children, and the fourth elder Zhouqi who is responsible for communicating with the outside world.
Michael said that the first elder and the second elder will definitely stand on the side of the chief. The third elder will not care about these succession struggles. The relationship between the fourth elder and him is okay, but he is not sure whether the other party will do it because of a raven. Just take your head and bow.
After listening to Michael's words, Su Mingan realized that his chances of winning were really not high.
Of the five elders, only one fifth elder, Michael, was on his side now. This was just snatched from Edward.
"——I have no intention of competing for the position of clan leader." Su Ming'an said bluntly: "The chief and I are good friends. I think that as the inheritor of the family, he will be in the position much better than me, an outsider."
After hearing this, Michael and others showed shock on their faces.
In their opinion, the leader of this first tribe can control the entire sky, which is almost the same position as the Lord of the World. How could anyone be unwilling to be the leader?
"Michael, you can continue to maintain your original status." Su Mingan said: "When the succession ceremony is over, I will leave the first tribe. I will not stay here for a long time and will not be a qualified tribe leader."
Michael looked at him with complicated eyes.
"My Lord God is on your shoulders." He said, "It's not up to you whether you want to do this or not."
Su Mingan frowned, he knew things would turn out like this...
It's like, if an ancient lord without children dies, his cronies will support his adopted son as the next lord, but once the lord's parent child is found, the cronies will definitely choose the parent child instead of the adopted son. No matter how outstanding the adopted son is, he is no exception.
The raven stood on Su Ming'an's shoulder, which meant that he was equivalent to a person recognized by Baishen. Even if the chief had been a candidate in Qiongdi for more than 20 years, he had lost his legitimacy in an instant.
Su Mingan immediately understood why in that black wall, even if Chief Feng saw the raven on his shoulder, he had no intention of bowing down. In Chief Feng's eyes, Su Ming'an's existence is his most threatening competitor.
But even so, after his good feelings were satisfied, the chief still invited Su Ming'an to the first tribe. The chief should have known clearly that this would happen when Su Ming'an with the raven arrived at the First Tribe.
Is Chief Feng... full of confidence that his position will not be taken away by Su Ming'an, or does he have other motives?
At this moment, Noel came back from the door after delivering the props and heard these words.
"Then let's argue first." Noel said, "Whether it's better or not is another matter."
"..."
Su Ming'an was mainly afraid of confronting Chief Feng, but Chief Feng probably wouldn't kill him immediately upon meeting him. After all, the favorability level is still full.
Obtaining the position of clan leader is not without benefits. At least some secret clues can be known to him. Maybe we can also mobilize the power of the tribe to surround and kill competitors like Edward.
His main mission is to obtain the three powers. Now that he has the black lamb, he still needs the black python in the hands of the chief, and the black crow who doesn't know where he is.
But how should he get the power of the black python that has been obtained by the chief? Are you hoping that Chief Feng will take the initiative to sell it and talk to him about the lighthouse? Or try to kill the opponent and see if the black python authority will fall?
"I will arrange everything." Michael said immediately: "I know you are an outsider and don't know much about the situation of the First Tribe. It doesn't matter. You just need to wait here. When I need to come forward, I will Came to call you."
Su Mingan was silent for a moment: "Okay."
Michael nodded, seemingly satisfied with the outcome of this situation.
Before leaving, Michael suddenly smiled gently at him and Noel.
"Then." Michael said softly, "I wish you happiness."
"Bang!" The door closed.
The room was silent.
"Ah." Noel looked at the closed door: "He should mean that the sacrificial saint and you, the candidate patriarch, can develop a relationship. But this has nothing to do with us."
He said and quickly changed the topic:
"I just gave Siboer the tools to suppress the curse. She should wake up after a while - what are you going to do next?"
"Go to Chief Feng first," Su Mingan said. This is the most critical thing, and he needs to make it clear to Chief Feng first.
He glanced at the raven on his shoulder. This thing was still as motionless as a piece of shit. It couldn't be torn off or torn, as if it really planned to stay here until the end of the instance.
He discussed it with Noel, and Noel decided to maintain the identity of the sacrificial saint, because Noel's advanced task is to ensure the smooth completion of the succession ceremony, which requires the appearance of the saint.
As for the silver stars, Noel decided to get them after the eighth day. He was confident that he could collect twelve silver stars in the remaining time.
So, congratulations to Noel, he will continue to crossdress for several more days.
"That's right." At the end of the conversation, Noel suddenly said: "Where is Lu Shu?"
"He's gone. He went to find the soul stone." Su Mingan said.
"I see, the soul stone is indeed quite precious, and he has some foresight." Noel said, "Before, when Yinke was patrolling in the sky, he saw you and Lu Shu moving together. I thought he would keep dragging you. You're the last one. But...won't you lose contact completely?"
"Originally, there will only be one winner in this game." Su Mingan said, "He doesn't have to succeed all the way to me."
"Really?" Noel said, "Why do I think he is looking for the soul stone just to give it to you?"
"..."
"But, it's still very strange." Noel narrowed his eyes: "I still don't understand Lu Shu's intention of following you. I understand Lin Yin, she came here for friends and bonds, Yamada Town Ichi It's the overly intense feelings of gratitude and samurai spirit that are causing the trouble. Even Iris, Mizushima Kawaharu and others are trying to seduce you for the sake of the 'overall situation' and personal gain. But... Lu Shu's words, frankly speaking, I don't trust him. That 'good guy' theory is untenable."
Su Mingan recalled the time when Lu Shu first came into contact with him.
He believed in Lu Shu mainly because Lu Shu had died for him. That time, after the end of the fourth world, in the world of the Lord God, if he did not choose to turn back, Lu Shu would really be dead at that time and could not be resurrected.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have included Lu Shu as someone he trusted.
"——You have to be careful, Su Mingan." Noel suddenly said: "I found that now, there are more and more special identities in world games, and the relationship between players and NPCs is becoming less and less clear. NPCs can become players, and players can also become players. Can become an NPC. So, I am worried...maybe at the very beginning, there will be some game traps, transformed into players, placed around us, hurting us at the most critical moment - he may use you Some kind of 'special point' to give you the illusion that you trust him."
Su Mingan understood Noel's obscure words again.
Special point.
Does Noel mean...?
"I'll make my own judgment," he said.
He left and closed the door.
As he walked upstairs, his expression remained calm, showing no signs of thought or confusion.
Noel's words were obviously intentional and deliberate - meant for the whole world to hear.
Because neither he nor Noel made a gesture to pause the live broadcast during this period, Noel's words have been heard by hundreds of millions of people watching the live broadcast.
Even Lu Shu could hear Noel's words when the dungeon ended and watched the live broadcast replay.
Whether Noel's words are a reminder, a provocation, an ulterior motive, or pure concern, Su Mingan will make his own judgment.
...Noel's words will affect him, but they will not interfere with his decision.
After that, he went to the young patriarch's room on the top floor to look for Chief Feng, but found that Chief Feng was not there at all and seemed to have not returned yet.
He could only go back to the room first and saw Siboer sleeping soundly on the bed.
Noel's arrangements were very careful. He had previously ordered the maid to bathe Sibor and change her clothes. Now Siboer is no longer the dirty and huddled look covered in red robe.
She was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly under the quilt. The white hair is scattered like mercury on the bright red pillow. The eyelashes are very long, slightly curled, and glow with a transparent color under the light. The black curse mark on her face has gradually faded away.
She looked peaceful as she slept. No longer like an extremely vigilant wild wolf.
There are a limited number of props to suppress curses, and people will gradually develop aversion to them, so they cannot be used all the time. If this situation happens again in Siboer, even the First Tribe will be powerless.
Su Mingan only stood there for a while before Michael came to him and took him to find Fourth Elder Zhou Qi.
The fourth elder was a kind old man. He expressed his willingness to help Su Ming'an and said that he could take Su Ming'an into the archives of the first tribe tonight. Let him know some secret things.
Su Mingan deliberately tested the fourth elder's favorability, and found that the other's favorability had reached 50, which did not look like he was faking it. Without the basic favorability bonus of the person in power, the four elders would not necessarily be on his side. In this wave, the person in power brought him benefits.
The fourth elder told him to be careful with the first elder and the second elder. They were loyal supporters of the chief. They already knew about Su Ming'an's arrival. If Su Ming'an left the first tribe at will, the first elder and the second elder might directly remove him. he. Only by staying in the first tribe can Su Mingan's safety be guaranteed.
The Fourth Elder planned to publicize Su Ming'an's identity first so that the people would know about Raven's appearance. When the time is right, let Su Mingan climb to the top of the city and show off the raven. They will have the support of the people and everything will fall into place.
Before that, Su Mingan still had to wait for about a day.
Su Mingan returned to the stone house, and the time was gradually reaching the afternoon.
At this moment, someone knocked on his door. It was none other than the Third Elder Guangri.
Guangli is a gentle middle-aged woman who is responsible for educating young children in the clan. Teacher Fang is her goddaughter. After learning about Teacher Fang’s impression of Su Mingan, Guangli expressed that she could join Su Mingan’s side.
Su Mingan was extremely surprised when he heard Guangli's surrender. After all, he thought that everyone would obey the chief, but he didn't expect that Guangli, who had always been neutral, chose to join him.
It was clear that the party that had the title of chief was powerful, and there was also a team of personal guards who absolutely obeyed the Zewan family. The Chief Feng himself even possesses the authority of the Black Python. He was raised as an heir since he was a child and is respected by everyone. Su Mingan was just a foreigner who came alone, but he suddenly gained the approval of three elders.
Obviously, there should be no chance of winning on his side. His only bargaining chip is the raven, and the authority of the Black Lamb has not yet been demonstrated by him.
After Guangli left, Su Mingan stood at the door thinking, but suddenly saw a man wrapped in a black robe walking over.
"You are..." Su Mingan said.
"I am Tu Yuan." The man spoke in a hoarse voice. He took off his black robe, revealing an old face.
...The second elder, Tu Yuan. Supporter of the Chief.
Su Ming'an immediately became vigilant. He was not sure whether the other party would take action here. After all, Tu Yuan believed in the Bai God rather than the God-envoy Raven. It is also possible if Tu Yuan thinks that an outsider is not worthy of becoming the clan leader and wants to kill him so that Raven can choose again.
But at this moment, he looked at Tu Yuan and suddenly bowed.
"Outsiders. Can I... join your side?" Tu Yuan said.
Su Ming'an really didn't expect that this Chief Feng was so unpopular, and his situation was comparable to that of Gin. The five elders who had been with him for more than twenty years fell outside one after another.
"I control the power of the first tribe's priests. I will preside over the succession ceremony on the eighth day of the war. If I choose you, Chief Zewan will no longer have the chance to succeed." Tu Yuan specifically emphasized his importance sex. Obviously, once Su Mingan gets his support, it is basically the final word.
"What do you want?" Su Ming'an knew that if a person emphasizes the importance in a transaction, it is equivalent to asking for benefits.
"And my only request is..." Tu Yuan said, looking away from Xi Boer who was sleeping quietly in the room.
He stretched out his skinny hand and pointed a single finger at the girl who fell into sleep. Strong hatred suddenly rose in his eyes:
"——Please let Lord Raven kill the only believer in God Nine, Sissi Zewan."
"She deserves to die."
…
…
["Do you regret it?" the delusional man asked him: "Do you regret saving a heretic who is cursed?"]
[He carried her behind his back and said nothing. 】
["Stop saving us." She said, "We are monsters. Stop saving monsters."]
[He walked, walked. 】
【She disappeared. 】
