Chapter 165: Drawing lots
The dragon king spoke, and everyone didn't dare to make any more noise, so they all closed their mouths and stood aside. But everyone's eyes always swept over the little girl who was transformed by Ao Feng and Wu You, intentionally or unintentionally, with a sense of vigilance on their faces.
The Dragon King understood what they were thinking, and his face sank: "The elders don't need to think about it, since I am the patriarch, I will naturally deal with it impartially." When the lot is drawn, my two children will be equally included, and there will never be any favoritism. ”
"The patriarch is serious, we have no doubts!" The white-bearded old man saw that the Dragon King's face was not good, so he hurriedly smiled and explained a few words.
The dragon king waved his hand: "Time is urgent, in order to minimize the losses caused by the Black Sea, let's conduct a lottery as soon as possible." Elder Qingtian was in charge of this matter, and Elder Huoyan and two elders, Tianhao and Aotu, supervised it. ”
Hearing that the Dragon King made such an arrangement, everyone did not have many objections. The people he appointed represented several forces of the dragon clan, and they didn't have to worry about favoritism when they were restrained by each other.
Qingtian was the white-bearded old man, who heard the words of the dragon king, and took a step forward and bowed down to receive the order. The method of drawing lots was very simple, Qingtian casually took out nearly 200 pearls from the storage bag, and then marked 25 of them. In front of everyone, Optimus hid the marked pearl seal and mixed it into the large pile of pearls.
In this way, not to mention these young sons, even a master like the Dragon King will not be able to quickly distinguish the specific before destroying the surface of the pearl. After doing this, Qingtian nodded to the Dragon King: "Patriarch, the lottery has been prepared and can start at any time." ”
"Then let's get started! In order to show fairness, the juniors of the Elder Qingtian lineage waited with my two children to wait for the final selection, do you have no opinion? ”
"Of course, this should be like this, how can subordinates have opinions." Qingtian said it easily, but there was a dark curse in his heart.
Although the pearls were sealed, Optimus left a little bit of its own breath on them. It's not impossible. If your juniors step forward, you can completely rely on your breath sense to avoid the pearls that have been marked. It's a pity that the Dragon King's words completely broke this last bit of luck, making him the most disadvantaged side. But the dragon king had already spoken, and he was accompanied by his two children, but Qingtian didn't say much.
Once the draw is ready, the rest is much simpler. All the young sons are arranged in a row, and they walk in turn to the stone table where the pearls are stacked, and choose a pearl of their choice. Then stand aside and wait for the results. Wuyou is naturally in it, but it is arranged to the last position, closely connected to the Aofeng.
Wuyou smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was no way to get out. The elders here are all the elders of the dragon clan, which can be said to be the core meeting of the dragon clan, if Wu You says his identity at this time, I am afraid the result will be very bad. But if you go on like this, won't you become your own substitute for the little boy and accept this test of life and death?
If you don't choose yourself, that's it. But once you're unlucky, what should you do? Isn't this just a matter of deciding whether to live or die for the little girl, which is too unfair to her. As for his luck, Maiyu always felt a little frightened. It seems that since I came to this world, my luck has not been good.
As time passed, more than 100 young sons in front of them had already taken their own pearls and stood aside and waited silently. Although they are young. But from their respective elders, they can also feel the looming depression. This made the young son's heart inevitably feel a little uneasy and panicked. Some of the cowards have been crying faintly.
The young son brought by Qingtian was ranked third from the bottom, and he reached out to grab it after he stepped forward. At this moment, Optimus suddenly coughed lightly and glanced at his young son. The young son was stunned for a moment, glanced at Qingtian, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face. Obviously, I don't know much about the meaning of Qingtian.
Seeing this, Qingtian was secretly anxious, but he couldn't say it clearly, and he was about to remind him again, but he felt a gaze fall on him. Qingtian's back was cold, and he felt the slightest murderous aura in his eyes, so he had to swallow the rest of his words back. I only hope that the young son I brought can be enlightened, can understand his own meaning, and avoid this murderous disaster.
It's a pity that this child is really young, and he can't understand what Optimus means, scratching his head, and finally picking up the pearl closest to him. Seeing this, Qingtian's face darkened, and a trace of despair flashed in his heart. Although he was a little far away, the pearl was made by his own hands, and he could clearly recognize it as one of the twenty-five pearls that had been marked.
"This stupid boy, wouldn't you leave your life here if you catch the wrong one today!" Qingtian suddenly clenched his fists, and his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy. But when he saw the remaining two dancers and the remaining two pearls, a hint of schadenfreude flashed between his eyebrows.
"Of the two remaining pearls, one of which has been marked, is one of the twenty-five. It seems that the sky has eyes, so let you taste the pain of losing a child. ”
When it was the turn of Ao Feng and Wu You, there were only two pearls left on the stone case. Ao Feng glanced at it and looked back at Wuyou: "Sister, it's better for you to choose!" ”
"No, anyway, we're just the sisters, and it's not a matter who comes first. If you like that, take that. Wuyou smiled and shook her head slowly.
Ao Feng scratched his head and cried with a sad face: "But I'm afraid, sister, you should come." ”
Maiyu sighed and nodded slightly: "Okay then!" ”
Walking in front of Ao Feng, Wuyou stretched out her hand to grab a pearl casually, but before her palm could touch, Yutu's voice suddenly sounded: "Sister, this one has been marked, I can feel it, you better choose another one." ”
Wuyou was stunned for a moment, and his outstretched arm couldn't help but pause, but he didn't grab another pearl as he said. If there were other people behind him, Wuyou would naturally choose the one without a mark without hesitation, but now only she and Ao Feng are here. If Wuyou chooses the one without a mark, it is equivalent to pushing Aofeng into the ranks of sacrifices, but this is not what Wuyou wants to see.
During the time that Wuyou was in the Dragon Palace, the Aofeng sisters and brothers took care of her, and they usually treated Wuyou as a sister. And in Wuyou's heart, he has already regarded the two of them as his younger brothers and sisters, at this time, Ao Feng is in trouble, how can Wuyou bear to see death and not save him.
After only a moment's hesitation, Wuyou gritted her teeth and grabbed the marked pearl in her hand. The dragon king stood quietly to the side, but his spiritual sense never left Wu You's side, and when he saw Wu You grab the pearl, the dragon king's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's fine, having her sacrifice in place of Feng'er is not in vain for me to raise her for so many years. It's just that her mother still needs to explain it well, otherwise it will be another chaos. ”
Wuyou grabbed the pearl, and the rest naturally belonged to Aofeng, and after he also picked it up, the hall fell silent again.
The Dragon King nodded, and then stepped out: "Elder Qingtian, since the young sons have each grabbed the pearls, let's verify them one by one." ”
Optimus agreed, then walked over to his youngest son and began to break the seals one by one. Huo Yan and the others followed, supervising Qingtian's every move. Soon the young son, who had drawn the mark, was taken out and arranged in the corner of the main hall, while the others breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps back with the unmarked pearl.
The verification was very fast, and the inspection was completed after a stick of incense. Twenty-five young sons, including Maiyu, were taken out alone and gathered in a corner of the main hall. Wuyou glanced at it, most of the people in it didn't know him, but when he saw one of them, the corners of Wuyou's mouth were a little funny.
I don't know what the young son's name is, but he has been following Qingtian since he entered the main hall, and he is obviously his descendant.
Qingtian's face was a little ugly, staring at his junior son tightly, with reluctance and strong resentment in his eyes. He resented the Dragon King, and if he hadn't been in the way, he would have been completely sure that he would protect his younger son. It's just that resentment is resentment, but Qingtian doesn't dare to show it at all, after all, this matter is very important, if he dares to say a word, I am afraid that he will be besieged by everyone immediately.
Only when he saw the dance did Qingtian breathe a sigh of relief, and without waiting for the Dragon King to speak, he took the first step and said, "Since the candidates have come out, then ask the Dragon King to arrange for them to go!" ”
The dragon clan is huge, except for the dragon king vein who lives in the dragon palace, the other branches are scattered everywhere. And the branch where the sky is located is thousands of miles away from it. Now that the situation is urgent, it is too late to take his juniors back to say goodbye to his relatives. On the contrary, the dragon king has the advantage of geography here, although it is impossible to do anything, but it is completely possible to let the little girl stay with his family before leaving, which makes Qingtian's heart very unhappy.
In line with the principle of harming others and not benefiting oneself, Qingtian asked to set off immediately. Those who were not chosen, for fear of long nights and dreams, also spoke out one after another. Only those who were chosen to sacrifice stood aside without words, only with a sad look in their eyes.
The Dragon King was scheming, how could he not know the intention of Qingtian's words, but since he had already said it, the Dragon King really had no way to refute it. Sighing, the Dragon King waved his arm: "The young sons who did not choose to sacrifice will all stay in the Dragon Palace, and the others, together with these twenty-five young sons, will go to the land of the Black Sea with me." ”
Everyone said yes, and then began to prepare. Wu You secretly complained, but she never thought of a way to deal with it, and even if she could get out at this time, the Dragon King and the others would inevitably go to Xiao Yu to replace her, which was not something that Wu You Le.
