Chapter 504: Choice
Sister ......"
Hearing the words of the Great Elder, seeing that Sister Scales leaned over and picked up the golden snake blade on the ground, rubbing it lightly on the blade, the expression on her face changed, and Butterfly took a few steps back in some fear.
After stroking the snake blade a few times, the scales suddenly seemed to have made up their minds, and turned to the butterfly.
He took Butterfly's hand and placed the snake blade in Butterfly's hand.
"Sister?"
Looking at the snake blade in her hand, Butterfly looked up at the scales in some shock.
"Scales, what are you doing?"
Seeing the movement of the scales, the Great Elder on the Golden Serpent Statue also showed a look of consternation.
"I choose to give up, give up the candidacy for the position of Queen Medusa, the rules of the clan should not say that you can't choose to give up, right?"
Turning to look at the Great Elder, the scales said lightly.
"But you're going to die!"
The Great Elder was a little angry and the serpent head scepter in his left hand stopped on the ground fiercely, and said angrily.
"Die and die."
The scales smiled indifferently, turned around and twisted the snake's tail, and in an instant, his figure had already left the temple.
Outside the temple, Scales asked a snake guard for a pair of shackles, and then put them on himself.
"Why are you doing this?"
Seeing the scales' choice, the Great Elder smiled bitterly.
"Sister.......
Looking at the snake blade in his hand, tears couldn't help but welled up from his eyes, and Butterfly's eyes suddenly blurred.
"Sister, you are the real queen!"
Holding the snake blade, Butterfly shouted outside the temple.
Outside the hall, the scales only showed a faint smile.
It was indeed her lifelong wish to become Queen Medusa, and she dreamed of leading the Serpent people out of the barren land of the Tagore Desert, but if the price of her dream was to kill her sister, she would rather give up.
"Hey, yes, yes!"
In the sacrificial temple, seeing that the scales had already made a choice and chose to give up, they understood that the twisted melon was not sweet, and the great elder could only shake his head helplessly and sigh.
"Thank you for the gift of the snake spirit for showing the way for us and others, and everyone will join me in joining our new queen!"
The Great Elder spread his wide sleeves and whispered to the many snake statues in the hall, and then took the lead and suddenly knelt down towards the butterfly.
"Join the Queen!"
Under the leadership of the Great Elder, the other three elders and the numerous snake guards in the temple also knelt down towards the butterfly and shouted.
"Great Elder, does it matter that there must be a separation of life and death between me and my sister, can't we have two Medusa queens in our snake people?"
Holding the snake blade in his hand, the butterfly prayed to the Great Elder.
"The clan rules are unbreakable, this is not deliberately difficult for us, since she has voluntarily chosen to give up, then you must follow the instructions of fate and ascend to the throne......."
The Great Elder turned around, folded his hands behind his back, and sighed.
"Adjust your mood and prepare for the ceremony, and tomorrow you can be officially crowned."
"Someone! Escort the scales to the prison and wait for them to fall, and bring the humans from the prison here! ”
Suddenly, the Great Elder said loudly.
"Yes!"
Hearing the Great Elder's words, several snake guards immediately responded.
One group walked towards the scales and took them to the high-level prison, while the other turned and twisted the snake's tail and left the temple towards another prison.
After a while, several snake guards escorted several human mercenaries into the temple, and after coming to the front of Butterfly, several snake guards immediately pushed the escorted mercenaries down in the temple.
"Your Highness, kill them!"
The Great Elder flew away from the high platform and landed beside Butterfly, raised the snakehead scepter in his hand, pointed at the several human mercenaries who were escorted over, and said in a deep voice.
"Kill...... Kill them, why? Can you not kill them? ”
Looking at the mercenaries who were begging hard, Dieman turned to look at the Great Elder in reluctance.
"Can't!"
The Great Elder shook his head resolutely.
"Your Royal Highness, these human mercenaries were captured by our patrol guards because they attacked our snake village, do you know how many of our snake people will be ruined and their wives separated if these human mercenaries are allowed to succeed?"
Pointing to a few mercenaries, the Great Elder said.
"If a beautiful female snake man like you is caught by humans, she will be sold to human nobles and become the playthings of human nobles from now on, while male snake people will be sent as slaves to engage in mining, medicine and other occupations with extremely high mortality rates, and will be enslaved from now on, and life is worse than death!"
The Great Elder's voice was a little low.
"We snake people have always deterred all mercenaries by killing all human mercenaries who dare to do this with thunderous means, but despite this, there are still countless greedy humans who are not afraid of death to attack our snake people village."
"If you become a queen in the future and are so kind to humans, this will undoubtedly push our snake people to a dead end! Your Highness, you need to change your mind, for the sake of our snake people! ”
The Great Elder arched his hand, bowed slightly, and said in a loud voice.
"I ......."
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Butterfly struggled a little.
Gritting his teeth, Butterfly held the sharp snake blade, his eyes constantly roamed the snake blade in his hand and the human mercenary who kept kowtowing on the ground and begging for mercy.
Homicide.......
Although I know the grievances between humans and snake people, butterflies are not the same as scales, butterflies have been protected by scales since childhood, and all the things that the candidate Queen Medusa needs to do are done by scales instead of butterflies.
Scale's dream is to become the queen and lead the snake people out of trouble, but Butterfly's wish is to escape from the cage of the snake people temple and experience a free life, just like her name, Butterfly, a free butterfly.
"I'm sorry, I can't do it, woo~"
Eventually, Butterfly choked and threw down the snake blade in her hand, sobbing and escaping from the temple.
"Her Royal Highness!"
Looking at the back of the butterfly leaving, the Great Elder sighed helplessly: "Hey! ”
"Kill them all, I'll prepare for the ceremony."
The Great Elder shook his head helplessly, and after letting the snake guards kill the human mercenaries in the temple, the Great Elder twisted his gray-brown snake tail and left the temple.
As he walked towards another temple, the Great Elder was worried.
This queen is really not worry-free, if you can't let this queen's concept be reversed, the future of their snake people is worrying!
……
On the other side, after leaving the sacrificial temple, Butterfly returned to her dormitory.
Sitting on the windowsill, Butterfly held a pom-pom-like dandelion plucked from the garden in her hand, looking at the sky outside the window, feeling a little distracted.
The dandelion is the butterfly's favorite flower, because the dandelion can scatter its seeds in the wind and fly anywhere, unrestrained, which is the freedom that the butterfly has always longed for but could not get.
The fair-skinned right hand gently twisted the snow-white dandelion, and the golden ornament on the hand kept rattling because of the shaking of the palm, looking at the dandelion in her hand, Butterfly finally made a decision in her heart.
Becoming a queen is not her dream, her dream is freedom, but her sister scale's dream is to become a queen.
And compared to her, there is no doubt that her sister is more suitable to be the queen of their snake people, and only her sister, who has been omnipotent since she was a child, can lead the snake people out of the current predicament, Die firmly believes.
Sister, I know you don't want to kill me, but to be a queen is not my wish, my wish is that unfettered freedom.
Sister, let me make your dreams come true for you, and I will get the freedom I desire......
Holding the snow-white dandelion in her hand and placing it in front of her belly, the butterfly looked up at the sky outside the window, the sky was blue and white, just as she had always seen.
But at this moment, her heart is different.
