Chapter 120: Link who defected
As soon as Zyra's words came out, the dark elves began to whisper. They exchanged words and discussions, or exchanged glances with their distant companions who were on better terms.
Some looked at the Dark Elf warrior in the center of the hall, a little schadenfreude in their eyes. They began to wonder how much they would get if Zyra also fell. Some lewd men even began to calculate whether to save Zyra and let her continue to live as their own sex and slave. Of course, the premise of this is that Zyra's vindictiveness must be abolished.
And many dark elves who used to have a good relationship with Zyra had a somewhat ugly face at this time, and it seems that they also know that if something really happens to Zyra, they will naturally not be able to escape it.
Zyra wasn't too nervous, though, and she still stood there relaxed, as if waiting for Britney's next steps.
"Give me a reason why you do this, a reason why I'm satisfied, my good sister. Britney said lightly.
"What if my reasons don't satisfy you?" Zyra asked rhetorically.
"You can only satisfy me. ”
"......" Zyra looked at the crowd around her, and replied, "I wanted to verify it." ”
"Verify what?"
"Verify that you really have what it takes to lead the family. Jeraa looked at Britney and said, "I think everyone here knows that Sarah, that idiot woman, has made a mess of the family. Originally, we were able to rank in the top three in the strength of the Seven Great Families, but since she became the main mother, we have had a crisis in just twenty years that we may be eliminated from the Seven Great Families. So, I don't want the next leader of the family to be a stupid ass like Sarah. If that's the case, then I think it's better to let the surname Alvin disappear from Darklight City completely. ”
"So, sister, do you think I'm qualified as a mistress?" Britney asked with a smile.
Zyra looked at Britney, and then at all the dark elves present. Then she nodded, "Yes, at least for now, I think you have what it takes to lead this family back to its former glory." ”
"But how much responsibility do you think you should bear for betraying the family's intelligence?" Britney asked with a smile.
"The family has nothing to lose, as a wise matriarch, you should understand that every time you change your matriarch, you have to endure tentative attacks from other families in Darklight City, I just brought this matter forward. So, I don't feel responsible for that. Zyra said very calmly, "Can you be satisfied with such an answer?"
"......" Britney seemed to think for a moment, and finally nodded: "I can grudgingly accept it, and I will delay the punishment for you for a while." And how you should be punished depends on your performance. ”
"I can accept it, and once again prove my loyalty to my family. Zyra replied.
"So. Britney stood up, glanced at all the dark elves in the hall, and said to them, "Now, offer your allegiance to your mistress!"
Britney's response was deathly silence.
After two or three seconds, Zyra was the first to move. She stuck her enchanted sword on the ground in front of her, then knelt on one knee, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands: "I, the leader of the Elwin family guard, Zyra Elwin, officially recognize Britney Alwyn as the supreme leader of the family and the head mother of the family. Where your will is, it is where my sword is pointing, and where your eyes are looking, it is where my blade is directing. I will be the most loyal and sharpest sword in your hands, for the sake of my family, for you, slay all enemies that stand in Elwin's way! Let the goddess of the dark elves, Queen Spider, bear witness to my oath!"
Immediately following Zyra are naturally Britney's two older brothers and male favorites, Gathos and Wesley. The two of them also loudly swore allegiance to Britney in front of everyone.
And seeing this, most of the intelligent dark elves finally understood. Gazus and Wesley, one of them represents the elite warriors of the Elwyn family, the other represents the magical elite of the Elwyn family, plus Zyra, who represents the ordinary guard of the Elwyn family. In this way, almost all of the forces of the Alvin family have been controlled by Britney. It can be said that Sarah's second daughter, this time, sat firmly on the throne of the head mother of the Alvin family in a real sense.
"This pair of sisters cooperates quite tacitly. Garona commented lightly.
"You're saying that Britney and Zyra have been colluding for a long time?" Regner was stunned at first, but soon understood what Garona meant.
"Of course it is. Garona said very firmly: "Otherwise, how could Britney investigate that subordinate of Zyra so carefully, if she really keeps an eye on every one of Alwin's clansmen, how can that man have the opportunity to leak the information of the Elwin family to so many small families?"
"In that case, Britney and Zyra probably had some kind of relationship a long time ago, right? The two of them did this to prove that Britney was a tolerant and benevolent mistress through Zyra. Second, you can also take this opportunity to announce your status as the master mother to all the clansmen. Thirdly, the apparent feud between her and Zyra can also make some other people with bad intentions show their feet, and when the time comes, Britney can have a rough range if she wants to clean up the interior. Fourth, it was to be able to advance the attacks of other families before I left, so that I was forced to help Alwyn as well. They're really calculating!" Regner suddenly realized, although he was not particularly good at intrigue, but Regner was not stupid, and he could understand many things as long as he thought about it.
"Exactly. That Zyra was just a warrior, so she couldn't have been the head mother of the family. So, Britney must have secretly wooed this Zyra. And this Zyra is not a stupid person, she has found her position very accurately, and she is very happy to cooperate with Britney. Garona affirmed Regner's opinion: "Well, these scenes today are just a fun look for you. But with the help of this incident, I also want to remind you: don't be fooled by people's appearances, otherwise, you are likely to suffer a big loss. ”
"Remember, apprentice. Regner replied.
"Mistress. "Zyra seems to be very aware of her position. After officially acknowledging Britney's status as the main mother, Zyra never spoke to Britney Spears by the title of sister or sister. It seems that in her eyes, Britney is just the head of her family, her housemother, and other blood relationships are as if they don't exist!
After everyone had quieted down, Zyra continued, "On the way back from the Mithril Pit, I found someone who was disloyal to the family, this guy tried to escape from the family's grasp, but I caught him, and it is up to you to decide what to do. ”
"Oh?" Britney's face showed a bit of surprise, it seemed that she really didn't know about it. She glanced at Zyra, then said, "Bring him up." ”
When the man was brought in, both Britney and Regner couldn't help but be surprised. Because this person who was tied up by five flowers turned out to be Link!
It can be seen that Zyra also knows that Link is Britney's cronie, so although she completely restrained Link's actions, she did not toss this dark elf to death. Otherwise, with the bloody and cruel methods of the dark elves, Link would now only have one breath left.
But even so, Link still had some bruises on his body, and his originally neatly groomed hair became a mess. But he didn't seem particularly panicked, at least when he met Britney's eyes, Link didn't have a hint of cowardice.
"......" Britney and Link looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "So you said Link, so unfortunately, Sister Zyra, this time you made a mistake." ”
"Huh?"
"Link didn't want to escape, I just had something else for him to do. Britney smiled and said, "We might as well talk about this later, but Link is really not a traitor, and I can prove that." ”
"......" Zyra looked at Link, then at Britney, and finally nodded, "I see." ”
But that's not the end of the story, when Britney officially announces herself as Alwin's new mistress in front of everyone. She had another secret meeting with Zyra, Gathos, Wesley, and Link.
To Britney's surprise, Regner and Anne Lott also seemed interested in the meeting. Not only that, but they also brought Angelista with them. Angelista didn't know why she was so close to Regner and Erin during this time, especially Erin. The psyker seemed to be particularly interested in the kind and gentle half-elf, did he want to have a lace session with her?
But at the moment, her main concern was Link's desire to get rid of Elwin. In fact, Britney didn't know that Link had the idea of breaking away from the Alvin family, let alone delegated any tasks to Link. The reason why she said this in front of everyone was just to prevent things from going irreparably and causing her to have Link executed in front of her.
At this time, several of them, including Regner and Erin, were sitting in a secret room, and several of them were sitting. Link was the only one standing, but he looked indifferent, as if this interrogation had nothing to do with him.
"Why did you betray me?" Britney's face was not very good at this time, although she had long expected that Link had his own plans, but she didn't expect this man to choose to jump out at this time.
"This is not a betrayal, my mistress. Link said very calmly, "My heart, my loyalty, has always belonged to Alwin, and it has always belonged to you. ”
"Enough! Don't fool me with these high-sounding words!" Britney was furious, although Link is not very strong, he has a very shrewd mind, and this guy seems to have been very lucky, let him do things, basically nothing will go wrong. Therefore, Britney has always valued Link very much, and now the sudden absence of such an important think tank is really annoying for Britney.
"I'm not lying, Mistress. Link replied earnestly.
"So......" Britney took a deep breath, "Why did you leave House Alwin?"
"I've heard Gouldel say that he seems to want to travel to other planes. Zyra replied that this woman was not as paralyzed as Annelot, but she was not a person with too many expressions. She said coldly: "It seems that I want to see more novel worlds and races." ”
"I knew he was going to make a small report...... "Link snapped up with his hand in annoyance.
"Oh, Lord Mistress, it's not just him Link~!" Angelista suddenly interjected at this time, she smiled and said, "Actually, I also have the idea of going to other planes to have a look, so I also want to take my Sedek out of the Elwin family and go to the origin plane with Regner." ”
