Chapter 3 Clan Meeting
At this moment, in the family hall, the head of the family, Dolly, was sitting in the middle, and a middle-aged man was sitting on the left and right. On the left is Watson's father, Yau Masonstein. After Watson was recognized by the Heavenly Spirit yesterday, their family also jumped from obscurity to the upstart of the family because of this child.
Father is expensive by son, because of Watson's relationship, Yawu, who has mediocre qualifications, was also directly appointed by the family as a family supervisor to enforce the law on behalf of the family. And today is his first law enforcement mission.
On the right is Holder's father, Guli Meisenstein. He was the opposite of Yawul, and despite Holder's lack of courage, he had only gained the approval of the Foolish Spirit, and his father, Gulk, was a true Spirit Whisperer. The strength is at the top, and it is the mainstay of Dolly's lineage.
And under the two of them are some people in this vein who have a little strength and the right to speak.
When Kritia and Dirk were ushered into the hall, all eyes were on them. Mother and son naturally felt the gaze of everyone, and there was sarcasm, pity, anger, and sympathy in these eyes.
The mother and son who were exposed to these gazes felt like a man on their backs at the moment, but the matter had come to this point, and the two had no choice but to stand there and accept the washing of these gazes with various emotions.
A light cough interrupted the whispering below, and the meeting hall, which was originally a little noisy around, was instantly audible. And the owner of this light cough is Dolly, the head of the house who sits on the throne.
As everyone was quiet, Dolly sat up slowly, leaning forward slightly, and looked at Kritia and Dirk with deep eyes.
"Wife of the clansman Jerry, Kristia, are you guilty?" the majestic voice sounded, shaking everyone's hearts.
Kritia, who was below, took a small step forward, blocked Dirk beside her with her body and said, "Master of the house, I am just a woman, planting flowers and cooking at home every day, and teaching children. It's like keeping to myself, so I don't know what I've committed."
"Dirk Masonstein did not receive any approval from the spirits in the temple, not even the most basic of fools. We have reason to suspect that this child is not of the blood of our noble Mason family. Kritia, I advise you to speak up quickly, and in view of your repentance, I will intercede with the family to spare you your life. Dolly said.
Kritia changed her previous gentle expression, and her crystal eyes revealed a determined look.
"I met Jerry Mason Stein when I was 18, married Jerry at 21, and Dirk was born at 25. My life is simple, there is only Jerry as a man!" Kritia's words were categorical.
"Master, why are you talking so much to this unclean daughter? Guli said.
Dolly frowned slightly, stood up and asked solemnly again, "Kritia, are you sure there is nothing to say? ”
Dirk felt Kritia's body tremble visibly when she heard the word "clan seal", what kind of terrible thing was this, he thought in his heart.
"No!" said Kritia.
"Hey, I, Dolly Masonstein, ask for the clan seal as the head of the side line!" Dolly said.
In a few moments, a figure appeared at the door, placing a wooden box in Dolly's hand.
Dolly slowly opened the box, and inside was just a white piece of paper, on which was drawn a complex figure, which contained the fluctuations of the ancestors, which was the family seal that Gu Li had said before.
The clan seal is made by a second-level enchanter, and the person who bears the clan seal must bear the ancestor's wrath with flesh and blood, and feel the power of the ancestor throughout the body, and the pain is abnormal, which is a means of punishing the people in the clan who commit crimes.
"Kritia, is there anything else you would like to say?" said Dolly, looking at the clan seal.
"My lord, I, Kritia, am sitting upright, even if the family seal is possessed, I am not afraid. At this time, Krithia was as heroic as a battle-hardened warrior.
"In this case, what are the family heads waiting for, he is flouting the family laws and regulations, and asking the family head to sacrifice the family seal!" Gu Li said as he fanned the flames.
"That is ......"
"Slow!" a childish voice interrupted Dolly, and the person who spoke was Dirk.
"Rude junior, do you have a part in speaking here?" Gu Li reprimanded.
Dirk ignored Gu Li and made a clan salute to the head of the family, saying, "Master of the family, my mother is weak, and I am willing to suffer from the clan seal on my behalf." ”
"No!" Kritia hurriedly said and stopped in front of Dirk. She knew the suffering of the clan seal, and she once saw the whole process of a criminal person in the clan who was born and died by the power of the ancestors because of the inheritance of the clan seal.
Dirk took his mother behind him and said, "Please be the master of the family!"
Just as Dolly was hesitating, the voice of Yawu, who had not spoken, came from beside him: "This is the one from yesterday, the patriarch also mentioned him to me at the Returning Banquet." ”
"If the patriarch has any reprimands, please supervise and inform them. Dolly bowed slightly, in a gesture of listening.
"Shame on the family. After saying these four words, Yawu kept silent and continued to look ahead.
Although it was only four words, it smashed into Dolly's heart like a giant hammer. Thirty years of conscientious work, just because the mother and son in front of them instantly came to naught.
For a while, he was furious. Reaching out and taking out the family seal, white paper flew in the air, and at this time, a figure wearing a sacrificial robe appeared behind Dolly.
"Evil beast!" roared, the light in his hand surged, and the complex family seal on the paper was unexpectedly separated, and then flew quickly towards Dirk's chest.
The blue family seal was directly printed on Dirk's chest through his clothes, and suddenly a scream sounded, and Dirk felt that a bone in his body was slowly shattering, and his body was constantly deforming, decomposing, reorganizing and decomposing. Cycle.
The pain was not only in the body, but also in the spirit and soul! The ten-year-old stood there, his body trembling and his mouth screaming miserably.
"Please stop, don't hurt my son, it's my fault, it has nothing to do with him, please stop. Kritia, who had just been a strong woman, knelt down in front of Dolly at this time, her face was already full of tears, and kept begging Dolly to let his son go.
"Mother, I can, please believe me!" Dirk was in pain, but he did not fall, he still stood, his cold eyes staring at the three people sitting in front of him.
"No, child, mother can't see you suffering, I confess, head of the house, please punish me, don't punish my son. Kritia cried, confessing her "crimes."
"Mother, you are wronged, your love for your father cannot be profaned, you are wronged!" said Dirk's body, and the slight fluctuation was so small that everyone present did not notice it. The crowd only noticed that the trembling of Dirk's body was gone, as was the cry of pain from time to time.
However, even if he was tortured by the clan seal before, his body was still straight, and at this time, he suddenly knelt on the ground and knelt in the direction of Kritia. Because of love, she is willing to sacrifice her innocent maternal love in order to save her son.
Bang bang, applause rang out, Yawu on the side stood up and said, "This picture is so beautiful." Dolly, torture to extract confessions, that's it
Is it your explanation to the family!" Yawu was already glaring at Dolly and the others as he spoke.
The head of the family, Dolly, didn't expect Yawu to say this, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that Dolly was unresponsive, Yawu shook his head, walked over to Kritia, who was pressed to the ground, picked up the poor woman, and gently helped her to the chair beside her.
As she lifted Krithia into her chair, Yau seemed to whisper something in Kritia's ear. Kritia stared at Yau with wide eyes and asked, "Will you really help me?"
Yawu nodded and replied, "Of course, I am representing the family, so I naturally want to ensure fairness and justice. ”
After speaking, he turned around, walked back to the position he had just now, and said to everyone: "Okay, Kritia, no one here can force you, with me, no one can frame your mother and son, let's say, what's going on with Dirk?"
"I ...... I'm ......," Kritia said hesitantly.
"Kritia, you have to think about it, it's going to affect you and your child's life!" Yau reminded.
As if having made up her mind, Kritia nodded slightly and said, "I did what I'm sorry for Jerry, and then gave birth to Dirk, who is not from the Mason family." ”
Boom! For a while, the council hall exploded, and discussions came and went, because the truth was so shocking. It was just a guess before, but now she actually confessed to her unclean deeds.
Dirk was still kneeling at this time, his mind was blank, why would his mother admit it? She loved her father more than anything, this was Dirk's own experience, why would her mother admit it?
The pain from the clan seal disappeared, and he slowly stood up and walked to Kritia's side in the eyes of everyone. He hugged his mother and asked in a low and hoarse voice, "Mother, why, why." ”
Kritia looked at Dirk's state at this time, hugged him distressedly, and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Yau promised me that if I confessed to the unclean, he would guarantee that your life would not be in danger." As long as you can live, you can do whatever you want your mother to do. ”
Dirk's eyes widened at this time, and he found that his mother's eyes were not as sad as before, and there was relief and a hint of joy in his eyes at this time. "My mother is still the mother who loves my father, and now she is willing to give her name and life for me to live!
Knowing that Krithia was threatened, Dirk slowly turned to look at Yaou, who was standing in front of her, smiling. may be because of the difference in mood at this time, Yawu's smile actually showed a bit of hideousness.
"May I ask Mr. Yawu, is there justice in the family?" asked a ten-year-old boy in a serious voice with a childish voice.
Yawu replied with a smile on his face, "You child, the family has always been very fair. ”
"Justice, if justice is incomparable, then why threaten his mother with the life and death of a child?" Dirk asked again.
None of the people present were stupid, and the 360-degree change in Kritia's attitude before and after was after Yawu helped her up. Coupled with Dirk's words, the family suddenly guessed the beginning and end of the incident.
At this time, the smile on Yawu's face gradually became suspicious, and his face became a little more hideous.
He said loudly to Dirk, "Remember, kid. Some people are born with fate to decide everything about him, maybe you don't know, my family's Watson has been accepted as a disciple by the three priests. Yawu said ostentatiously. At the same time, there were exclamations from the audience, and Watson had undoubtedly entered the field of vision of the family's upper echelons
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yawu nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Maybe some of you think that we, as parents, have been stained with the light of our sons, but you don't know how much we have paid for Watson! You are indeed a hard-working child, but the facts are in front of you, and you have to admit it! I will make proper arrangements for you afterwards. ”
Yawu cleverly changed the concept and relieved himself of his dilemma.
"Yau Masenstein, put away your mask of hypocrisy. Don't fool me like a ten-year-old. I'm talking about you ignoring the facts, using me, and forcing my mother to comply!" Dirk is a thirty-year-old adult at heart, so naturally he will not be misled by Yawu.
And Yawu saw that his misdirection had been exposed by a ten-year-old child, and a slight anger appeared on his face. Walk to Tak
Gram beside him, crouch down.
Stretched out his hand and touched his head, and whispered, "You remember, it doesn't matter to the family whether you are Jerry's son or not, the family wants the strong." If you don't get the approval of the spirits, you will be disposed of as a disgrace. ”
"Are you sure I'm not going to get stronger?" Dirk asked rhetorically.
"Hahahaha, we are the Spirit Whispering family in the Holy Kingdom of Wright, and we follow God's will the most. Some people are born strong, but you are destined to be an ordinary person. However, in the family, the ordinary and the ordinary are crimes!" Yawu whispered and turned back to his previous position, continuing to play the role of a righteous and kind inspector.
But it didn't come to pass, and instead of destroying Dirk's will, his words inspired the pride that Dirk imprinted in his soul.
"Destiny? providence? Hahaha! Yau Masenstein, I tell you, all living beings are equal, my fate!
Yawu repeated the words that Dirk said in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. It is fine that this child will continue to be wasted, but if one day he turns over, he will be in trouble.
Thinking of this, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat. As if he had made up his mind, he nodded and said, "I underestimated you, I will remember what you say." Now I work as a family prosecutor and lead the family to enforce the law. The sinner Kritia has confessed to the fact that she is unclean, and I am now executing the death order on behalf of the family!"
