Chapter 246 Father and Son

   "Mr. Garret, according to tradition, I think this matter should go through the trial process of the Oak Council first."

   Ebony looked at the wolf-faced tattooed youth who was tied in front of the statue of the Seven Holy Spirits, and said this to the middle-aged man who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed.

  Shortly after he returned to the Sanctuary of the Great Mother of the Sacred Tree, the No. 2 figure in Jade Province, Garey Wolfyan, the secretary who maintained all the affairs of the forest elves on the bright side, broke in with several Wild Hunt fighters.

   At first, he thought it was because the information was leaked, and this side needs to officially tear up with the duke. As a result, the other party escorted his son here. And as soon as he came in, he directly asked the temple to provide him with the rot root sap used to execute the execution.

   And Ebony refused him without hesitation.

  There is no reason to say yes, and doing so is neither in the tradition of Ravenwood nor in accordance with the laws of the Empire.

   This is exactly what Flaro has done since he came to power - killing whoever he wants, without considering the law or tradition, and acting according to his own feelings. In his opinion, maybe the tribal chiefs who chose sacrifice objects based on astrology during the Black Iron Calendar period knew more about politics than she did.

   After hearing Ebony's words, Gareth opened his eyes, got up and walked to the big mother listener, staring at him and said:

   "I haven't been reduced to being allowed to do anything by the old folks of the Oak Council."

  Under the rule of Flaro, the Oak Council, which was the core of Ravenwood in the past, basically has no power except to improve the local people's livelihood. What they can do now is to declare that this is also the will of the "Sacred Tree Mother" after the policies of the Bone White House are down, so as to reduce the resistance to the promotion of those policies.

"If you really don't have the slightest respect for our traditions, then you can also have your son follow the blind sisterhood to Platinum Province, where he will be judged by the Imperial Court... But seriously, I don't Do you understand why you are in such a hurry to send your son to death, just to show your bravery and loyalty to our beloved Duke?"

  Ebony said and looked at Quill Wolfyan who was standing beside him. Since this child was brought in, he has been staring at the "imperialized" statue of the Mother of the Holy Tree on the shrine.

   "Just do as he says, Listener, he's wanted me dead for a long time."

   Quill, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up.

   His voice was flat and calm, sounding like the frozen ice on the Stone Cold Plains.

"I am a family disgrace in his eyes, a stumbling block that prevents him from further gaining the trust of the tyrant. Dying under the sap of rotten roots is still a bit of dignity. If I am killed by other methods, I still need this for my body. people will handle it."

  The forest elves who died after drinking the sap of the rotten root tree would be highly poisonous in their blood, and their corpses should be handed over to a special blessing called "Holy Eater". For Quill, being subjected to communion by this man was a greater shame than the fact of death.

   "It's disgusting enough to think about."

  Quier said, spitting aside.

   He didn't even look at his father while he was talking.

   In fact, the father and son never looked at each other from beginning to end.

   "Since he himself agrees, please trouble the listener to perform your duties and complete everything."

   After a moment of silence, Gareth said.

   But when Wu Mu heard this, he opened his hands and looked at each other with anger.

"Listen, it's not that I don't want to meet your needs. But first of all, you don't have any power to give me orders. In this world, only the Mother of the Holy Tree is qualified to give orders to me. Second, as the secretary, so do you. There is no power over the duke to pronounce the death sentence. To be clear, I don't know very well, and I don't want to get involved in the conflict between you father and son. So, if you want me to take out the sap of the rotten root and execute the death sentence, also Please bring our most beloved duke over here."

  If she can still come.

   Ebony thought in his heart.

   As far as he knows, Lord William has already gone to the White House to "negotiate" with him. Although Flaro is indeed inexplicably strong, but if compared with the legend of walking in the world, it is still not enough to see.

   "Is the evidence you mentioned here? Before I went to find you, I came here and didn't seem to see anything noteworthy."

   It was also at this time that a slightly hoarse male voice suddenly sounded outside the temple.

   Knowing who the owner of this voice is, Ebony straightened his waist subconsciously.

He is back…

   In other words, he has completed the initial contact with that woman, is this going to come back to discuss with himself the next plan to formally seize power?

   "So, you've been here before? Wait a minute, haven't you been in contact with Hobion Ebony?"

   Another cold-blooded female voice sounded outside the door. The moment he heard this voice, he felt like falling into an ice cave.

   That was his own eternal nightmare - Flaro Kane's voice.

   But why did she suddenly come here? And it was with William.

   Could it be that William betrayed him? Instead, choose to cooperate with the more powerful Duke of the Holy Tree?

  Impossible... In the omens revealed to him by the big mother, William should be the true liberator of the forest elves.

   For a time, countless disturbing thoughts flooded into his mind, which made him freeze in place as if he had been petrified, unable to move a step.

  It was also at this time that the thick stone door of the temple was pushed open. Including William and Flaro, four people filed into the temple.

  William and Flaro went straight to the people standing in the center of the temple. Nezemar and Elis, who came here for the first time, stood at the door and looked around curiously at the structure and arrangement of the entire temple growing in the tree hole.

  William and Flallo walked side by side in front of Ebony, and Garey, who was standing not far away, immediately gave Flallo a standard imperial salute.

   For a while, no one spoke.

   "Mr. Quill!"

   In the end, Elis, who was the first to break the silence, saw his partner tied in front of the shrine.

  Nezmar didn't pay attention, so the girl broke free from her hand and ran to the shrine.

  Quier looked at the girl in shock, and it took a long time before he said:

   "I thought you were already in the green prison...why did she bring you here?"

   The "she" in Quill's mouth naturally refers to the Duke of the Holy Tree.

"I don't know why, but it seems that I won't be sent to Platinum City. After that, you can try to contact the members of the Blind Sisterhood scattered all over the continent, and then the reconstruction organization will continue to tour all parts of the continent... These are the sisters told me."

   Elis said, pointing to Nezemar who was walking slowly.

"real?"

   He looked back at the tall slender woman who had stood up for them before, and asked suspiciously.

   This is nothing like what the Sacred Tree Duke, who is strict on the inside and compromise on the outside, would do.

  Nezmar looked at him and nodded as a reply.

   "But... how did you convince the duke? What was the price?"

  The only possibility that Quill could think of was that they offered the duke a price that would make the other party compromise.

   However, Nezemar shook his head and said:

   "It wasn't the presiding judge who persuaded her, but she persuaded the presiding judge to deal with the Blind Sisterhood in this way."
