Chapter 9: Trouble is coming
Thousands of miles away, in a quaint-looking building, several old men were gathering together and muttering something.
I only heard one of the red noses say: "Is the prophecy of the witch hall master reliable, take an ancestral gold ring to the No. 8 pawnshop, you can save my elephant clan from fire and water, and avoid the disaster of extermination?"
"But isn't it? Our clan has been multiplying in Huoyan Country for hundreds of years, and I have never heard of any catastrophe of extermination, on the contrary, after several generations of efforts, our clan has now gradually mastered the economy of Huoyan Country, although there are more than 30 ethnic groups in Huoyan Country, but the rich people of our clan have accounted for half of the rich people in Huoyan Country, and even the largest clan in Huoyan Country - Huoyan Clan is beyond reach, with our clan's economic status in Huoyan Country, how can there be a disaster of extermination?" Another old man with a gray beard also shook his head and said.
A rather dignified old man sitting on the seat said: "According to normal thinking, your analysis is indeed very reasonable, and our clan is indeed as you said, the momentum of development in the Huoyan country is booming, there is no need to be suspicious, but don't forget, the prophecy of the witch hall master has never been empty, since he joined our alliance, a total of three prophecies, three times have been accurately fulfilled, and we also rely on his prophecy, every time to turn the corner, in order to let our clan achieve today's economic status." ”
"But his prophecy this time is too outrageous, he even said that our clan will be wiped out, and it will be a year later, how is it possible? The most outrageous thing is that he actually said that taking an ancestral gold ring to the No. 8 pawnshop can save my elephant clan from fire and water, and can avoid the disaster of annihilation, is there anything more unreliable in the world? The red-nosed old man touched his nose and said very stubbornly.
"Master of the Nine Halls, you must understand that prophecy has been an unpredictable thing since ancient times, and no one dares to say that their prophecies will be fulfilled 100%. The prestige and status of the Wu Hall Master in our alliance is obvious to all, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his longevity for the future of our clan and the alliance, and forcibly divined, so as to get this ominous prophecy, he is now sick in bed, how can you question him like this?" said the majestic old man.
The red-nosed old man, known as the Nine Hall Masters, said: "It's not that I can't believe the person of the Wu Hall Master, it's just that his prophecy this time is so mysterious that people can't doubt it." Think about it, can a person in his right mind have such an inference, such a prophecy?"
"I think it's the Nine Hall Master, you yourself are not thinking about it comprehensively, right? Yes, in recent years, our elephant clan has made some achievements in the economy, and in the Huoyan country, it is richer than the rest of the races, but because of this, it will inevitably cause the jealousy of the rest of the races, and the most terrible thing is that our clan naturally does not like politics and strife, so now in the ** and army of the Huoyan country, there are very few people from our elephant clan. This makes my elephant clan in the country of Huoyan, like a toothless fat pig, once something happens, my clan will have no power to fight back. Fortunately, it was the prophecy of the witch hall master that woke me up in time. The majestic old man's expression became more and more serious, the prophecy of the witch hall master was not terrible, the terrible thing was that most of the people in the clan did not take it seriously, and the elephant clan people were indeed living a good life.
"Even if this is the case, it doesn't prove that taking a gold ring to the No. 8 pawnshop can save our people? This is not a child's fairy tale. The Nine Hall Master still muttered unconvinced.
"Lao Jiu, just say a few words!" The big-eared old man who was sitting in the corner and had not spoken all this time spoke, "Deputy Alliance Master Liu has really paid a lot for our alliance over the years. I don't think we should blindly question the witch master's prophecy now, but find a way to solve the problem. ”
The white-bearded old man also nodded and said, "If the prophecy of the Witch Hall Master is true, it is only one year away, how can we arrange it in a year? Transfer the assets of our elephant clan to other countries overseas, and then migrate on a large scale? This is not realistic, isn't it? Which country will receive such a large number of people? Who can guarantee that our clan can live well in other places?"
Deputy Alliance Master Liu nodded and said, "Hall Master Chen has a point, it is unrealistic for our clan to transfer property and immigration on a large scale, and it would be a joke to let people know that we were scared away by a prophecy." But if we now let our people join the army and politics on a large scale, it will be a little too late, after all, there is only one year left. Therefore, we can only take the hope of pinning our hopes on the prophecy of the witch hall master and do what he says. ”
"It's just playing the piano randomly. The Nine Hall Lord said angrily, "My Elephant Alliance has become a paradise for prophets!" he finished speaking, and left the table angrily.
The white-bearded old man looked at everyone embarrassedly: "Lao Jiu is this kind of violent temper, don't be surprised." Well, I think it's still necessary for us to make some preparations secretly, we can secretly transfer some property, we can also secretly let some family members live overseas, and we can also secretly prepare some weapons for self-defense and set up a self-defense organization......"
"Don't say more," Deputy Alliance Leader Liu said a little lonely, "We will have no other way out than to do what the Witch Hall Master predicted." Now that the alliance leader is not here, the alliance will have the final say, and from now on, our alliance will do its best to make plans according to the prophecy of the witch hall master!"
The white-bearded old man and the big-eared old man looked at each other, although they also agreed with the prophecy of the hall master, but Deputy Alliance Master Liu's domineering style, completely unable to listen to the opinions of the hall master elders, has completely deviated from the original intention of the alliance when it was established, thinking that back then, when the alliance leader was still there, how democratic it was, and when making any major decisions, they all gathered all the brothers together, discussed and discussed, discussed and discussed, until there was a plan that satisfied everyone and then implemented, even if there were people with different opinions, he was also convinced。 I really miss the days when the alliance leader was here, when everyone was very united, just for the elephant clan to gain a foothold in the country of Huoyan and be able to live a warm and comfortable life, and now the goal has basically been achieved, but the alliance leader suddenly disappeared a year ago, and no one has been seen alive or dead.
The white-bearded old man opened his mouth to say something, but found the big-eared old man kicking him under the table, and then pulling him away.
After leaving the conference room of the headquarters building, the white-bearded old man complained to the big-eared old man and said, "Why didn't you let me say it just now? That person surnamed Liu is too much, and he really thinks that he himself is the emperor of our elephant clan, and he is not even allowed to raise objections. ”
"Some things in this world will change, the current environment is different from before, don't you see that Lao Liu has regarded the Wu Hall Master as his left arm and right arm? He can be described as obedient to him, if you go and say some things that touch the head, can he listen to it? Aren't you following in the footsteps of Lao Jiu to make yourself uncomfortable?" The big-eared old man shook his head with emotion, and then got into a car that was opened by a man in black and ran away, causing the white-bearded man to eat a mouthful of dust......
