Chapter 1028: Seven Elders
Ling Feng finally walked along the marble slate paved path towards the temple at the end.
That temple looked special, not in the typical Eastern style, nor in the typical Western style, but in a rather rugged and primitive style. It is made purely of huge stone blocks, somewhat similar to the style of Stonehenge in England. Ling Feng was not surprised by this style, after all, the Immortal Clan was a very, very ancient existence, it had a longer history than any civilization, and its style certainly would not be the style of a certain civilization later.
The style of the stone temples on both sides of the marble avenue is the same as that of the stone temples outside, except that they are larger, and the sculptures standing at the entrance of the stone temples are more elaborate, and the diamonds and gemstones are larger and more beautiful.
Each statue corresponds to a stone temple, and it also represents an immortal race. Walking along the way, Ling Feng saw the stone temple of Achilles, as well as the stone temple of Wufu and Hannah. When he passed by Hannah's stone temple, he wanted to go inside, but he didn't get in. He also figured out a phenomenon, that is, although the stone temple here and the stone temple outside both represent an immortal clan, the identity of the immortal clan here is obviously much higher.
Ling Feng roughly counted that there were sixty-six stone temples on both sides of the Marble Avenue, which represented sixty-six immortal clans. Coupled with the stone temple outside, he also calculated the approximate number of the immortal clan, which was less than two hundred. This also explains the reason why more than 400 years ago, when Wu Poison went to capture Hannah, he only brought two Immortals with him, and there were less than 200 people in the entire Immortal Clan, so it was impossible to go to the Pirate Canyon of Madagascar to fight with Hannah, right? That's why Wu Poison set up mercenaries, reformed them with drugs, and let the mercenaries fight for him.
Ling Feng walked across the Marble Avenue, and the sixty-six stone temples were left behind him. Along the way, he didn't know anyone except the statues of Achilles, Poison, and Hannah.
Just as Ling Feng was about to set foot in the temple leading to the end of the avenue, a person suddenly walked out of the temple.
Coming out of the temple was the black poison, and he had a faint smile on his face, as if he had expected Ling Feng to come here early on.
Ling Feng looked at him and didn't feel much surprise, he broke the silence between the two, "Are you alone?" ”
Wu Poison shook his head, "Of course not, someone is waiting for you inside." ”
"Wait for me?" Ling Feng said in surprise, "Who is waiting for me?" ”
Wu Poison smiled and said, "Don't you know when you go in?" ”
Ling Feng stepped onto the steps, walked up, and then stopped beside Wu Poison. He glanced inside the temple, but there was no light inside, and the glow stick in his hand was not enough to illuminate the inside of the temple, so he couldn't see anyone waiting for him inside.
Ling Feng didn't rush in, he said tentatively, "Are you waiting for me?" ”
"When I was in the Seychelles, I told you to see you in five hundred years, but now it seems that this agreement cannot be fulfilled, and we will meet now. Because of you, I have now gained the position I lost, and I am still the Inquisitor of the Immortals. You know why. ”
Of course, Ling Feng knew the reason, because Achilles was dead, so the Immortal Clan did not have the right person to take over Achilles' position, and Wu Poison had been the judge of the Immortal Clan for hundreds of years, and his experience and ability were needed by the Immortal Clan.
Wu Poison patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, "Thank you, you saved me from a five-hundred-year sentence, well, also, you let me regain my reason to live." ”
Ling Feng said, "You already know that Achilles is dead? ”
Wu Poison said: "This island was originally the territory of the Immortal Clan, how can we not know what happened on this island? Go inside, don't keep them waiting too long. By the way, put your weapons down, you're going to scare the old man if you go in like this. ”
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment and finally took off the AK47 and spare magazine in his hand, but he didn't see the desert. The Eagle took it out. Although Achilles is dead, this does not mean that there are no powerful figures among the Immortals, not to mention that he killed the victory of the Immortals, is the other party just that? Therefore, although Wu Poison is not an enemy, he can't fully believe his words, and it's better to keep a hand in life.
Putting down the AK47, Ling Feng walked towards the temple.
"That's right." Wu Poison stopped Ling Feng, "When you come out, I will give you a verdict." ”
Ling Feng's mood suddenly became tense, "What verdict?" ”
A smile appeared on the face of the black poison, "Of course it is a verdict that is acceptable to both the Immortals and you, you know that it is not easy to convince those stubborn guys. ”
The poisonous smile made Ling Feng relax a little, he nodded, and then walked into the temple. Just as he stepped into the temple's high stone threshold, a light suddenly lit up inside. They were four huge braziers placed in the four corners of the temple, and the roaring light of the fire illuminated the temple.
In the light of the firelight, Ling Feng saw seven old men in white robes, sitting at a semi-circular conference table, the backs of the chairs were all high, and they looked like seven judges. Behind them was a huge globe with a clear view of the seven continents and oceans above.
There are no idols in the temple, only seven old men and a globe, which is a very strange situation.
Ling Feng walked forward slowly, the corner of his eye quickly swept over the corners on both sides of the temple, and he didn't find anyone lurking. The seven old men didn't look like people with great skills, which made him feel less nervous.
Ling Feng walked forward slowly, stopping a few steps away from the semicircular conference table. He bent down slightly and made a classical gentleman's salute. Then he straightened up and said nothing, waiting for the seven old men to speak. At this time, he also carefully observed the seven old men opposite, and he found that they were from different races, and their skin colors and appearances were very different. Also, on the table in front of them was a state relief.
Ling Feng's gaze fell to an old man with the same yellow skin as him, and he found that the table top in front of this old man was an Asian relief pattern. This discovery made him can't help but speculate: "Seven old men, does each old man represent a continent of the earth?" This yellow-skinned old man, is he Chinese or Dongying? Or is it Korean? ”
At this moment, the yellow-skinned old man sitting in the middle of the semicircular conference table said, "You are Ling Feng, the first time we met, I was surprised by your composure and calmness. ”
The language he used was Chinese, and Ling Feng's heart moved, "Are you Chinese?" ”
The yellow-skinned old man smiled, "There are no Chinese here, no Dongying Yamato people, no Germans and highlanders, only the Immortal people." From today onwards, you are one of us. You have to forget your identity as a Chinese, and you will only have one identity in the future, and that is the Immortal Race. ”
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, "You ......"
An old black man said: "The selection and inheritance of the Immortal is very special, and only after we unanimously decide on the right person will we recruit him to become the Immortal." Your presence is an exception, and with your conditions and talents, you simply do not qualify as an immortal. However, after this period of evaluation and testing, it seems that you have reached this standard. So, after our discussion, we unanimously agreed on your decision to join the Immortals. ”
This old black man spoke the language of the Elder Race, but this did not prevent Ling Feng from understanding.
Ling Feng understood, but he couldn't believe his own ears. To become an immortal, he is actually interested in it. In his bones, he even dislikes the way the immortal prolongs his life, and he disdains to become an immortal. But now that the seven elders have unanimously agreed that he has become an immortal, it means that he no longer has to worry about the threat from the immortal, which is actually a good thing.
Ling Feng was silent for a while before he said, "What about Hannah?" And what about my and Hannah's children? ”
A blond-haired elder said, "We have studied, times are changing, and we should change too. Keep pace with the times, so as not to be eliminated by this world. The Immortals are infertile, and you and Hannah's child is a miracle. We decided to keep him as a new generation of immortals. However, his education will be done by us, the traditions of the Immortals, the culture of the Immortals, he needs to know and master. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Ling Feng's mouth, "Thank you, it's really a good thing that you can pass such a resolution. What about Hannah? Can you revoke your wanted warrant against her? ”
The yellow-skinned elder said, "Yes, she is a rare genius of our immortal race, she should come back here." However, your grave sins are forgiven, but punishment is necessary. We have decided that you will face a three-year sentence. ”
"I accept." Ling Feng's heart was already very happy. Three years may seem like a long time, but for the long life span of an immortal, it's no different from three days.
"One more thing." The yellow-skinned elder said, "Achilles is dead, the Cult of Jealousy is ruined, and we lack the strength to protect ourselves. You will succeed Achilles as the new god of war of our immortals. ”
"Me?" Ling Feng was stunned for a moment.
"We've always lived by old traditions, and there are some practices that now seem wrong. The survival of the immortal tribe needs to harvest the lives of others, and you also understand the role played by the Yakuza religion. The Cult of Jealousy is ruined now, but we can't afford to lose the harvest estate, and you and Hannah need to solve this problem. The yellow-skinned elder said.
Ling Feng immediately felt embarrassed, the meaning of this yellow-skinned elder was very clear, Achilles and Emperor Rakshasa had been preparing for the immortal clan to harvest the "crops" of lifespan. Now that Achilles and Emperor Rakshasa are dead, and the Sect of Jealousy has been ruined, and there is no one to use the Immortals, so they forgave him and Hannah for their sins, and even recognized the identity of their children, but this is not without a price, the price is to take over the role of Achilles and Emperor Rakshasa and continue to protect and maintain the existence of the Immortals!
To say yes or not to agree?
