Chapter Ninety-Seven: The General's Rebellion

Cecilia had just heard that Peresine had ordered Pearl to seal down the winery. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The news has not yet spread, but soon everyone will find out. While the Ranger was moving, some of the elven civilians who had come down from the Golden Leaf approached Cecilia and expressed their concerns to Cecilia.

The priestess felt the need to get Pehins, who had gone down the wrong path, back on the right path. She said, "Pexins, who supports you for this?" ”

"I don't need anyone's support, if I have to say support, our elves have adhered to thousands of years of tradition, and it is the most solid faith that supports my actions."

"But do you know what the elves who have followed us all the way from Nancy to Komyra, the people we are desperately protecting, want? Just now, the Callum Odoyle family approached me and made their concerns about your actions clear. This is a pure land, the only shelter we have found for nearly half a year since we fled from Nancy. What we need is to be able to live well in this place and not to worry about it anymore. No one wants any conflict with Lord Dain except you and your rangers. Stop it, Pehins, can't we live here in peace? ”

Pexins's face did not waver, but she persuaded Cecilia: "Everything I do is for our people to live a better life!" If, without the tradition of elves, we, like human beings, have lost their elegance, art, and precious etiquette, blindly pursuing practical interests, blindly looking at the life in front of us, and have no ideal pursuit, then we are still elves? Cecilia, come and help me, I don't admit that Dane is an oracle, but I don't intend to have any conflict with him, I just want Orinedu to become a true pure land of elves. But if the final battle is inevitable, I want you to stand on my side. ”

Looking at Pehinsi's determined look, Cecilia finally understood that it was impossible for her to convince this friend, she had already gone mad.

Cecilia's heart was already very nervous, she was much more rational than Pehinsi, who was in a frenzy.

Although she had not been in contact with Dane for a short time before, Cecilia also had some understanding of the character of the lord of Komya. If nothing else, she knew that Dane was definitely a person who would not compromise. Dane was very interested in the distillery built next to Moon Well No. 2, and had always been unhappy with Pehins's lack of cooperation, putting it all together...... When Dane returned, he would be furious.

And the tragic thing is that she also knows that with the way Pehince is now, she will never choose to compromise.

It is foreseeable, then, that if things are allowed to continue like this, civil strife - and even civil war - in Komyrya will be inevitable when Dane returns.

With this in mind, the priestess understood that in the midst of almost inevitable civil strife, whether for the sake of the elves or for the faith, she had to choose a side.

Cecilia, who already had a choice in her heart, said something different: "Well, I don't know if this is right or wrong, but, Pehins, for the sake of our friendship over the years, I believe that you will not do anything to be sorry for our people." ”

Hearing Cecilia say this, a smile of surprise appeared on Pehinsi's resolute countenance. She didn't have any hope at first that Cecilia would really support her. After all, in the time since she arrived on the island, the priestess has been advising her not to confront Dane. She was mentally prepared for Cecilia to side with Dane, but she didn't expect this to be the case.

With Cecilia's support, Pehin feels like she has a better chance of taking control of Orinedu.

She said, "Good! Sure enough, I knew that Cecilia you wouldn't leave me alone! Without further ado, after the distillery is seized, Dane's power to stay in Orinedu will definitely react, and we must move faster. I've ordered Pearl to take action immediately after the seizure of the distillery and expel all humans from Orinedus, and now, I guess she's already doing so. ”

Cecilia's mood was a little colder, but on the surface, she nodded and said, "You did a good job, what are we going to do next?" ”

Pehinse continued to recount her plan of action: "Next, we must take control of Orinedu further. The power that Dane left in the forest was not just the mercenaries stationed there. In my recent contacts, I have sensed that both the Druid FalΓ₯ and the priestess Eslor, who presides over the temple, are staunch supporters of Dane. We'll have to split up now, and I'll take the rest of the rangers with me to clean up Faro. He had two or three squads of sword dancers in his hands, which was not easy to deal with, and it would be best if he could be persuaded to return to the elven tradition. If you can't...... I'll take care of it depending on the situation. ”

"You're going to do it? I don't think it's advisable! Faro was an old and learned man, and the forests around Orinadus were almost all created by him, and there must be no bloodshed for such a character, which is inconsistent with our elven tradition. ”

Cecilia knew that if she used ordinary persuasion, Pehin might not be able to listen. She can only follow her words and use such an ethereal thing as 'tradition' to persuade her.

Not to mention, it works. Pehin hesitated for a moment and said, "That's true, thank you for the reminder, I'm not going to do anything to Faro." But if he really doesn't come to his senses, he must also take some measures, and I will put him under house arrest. ”

sighed in his heart, being able to persuade to this extent was already the limit of what Cecilia could do. She no longer dwelled on the matter, but continued to ask, "Then can I do something for you?" ”

"Of course!" "In addition to Faro, there's another person in Orinedu that we need to deal with. The presiding priest of the temple, Eslor, the priestess. She's going to hand it over to you, Cecilia, and I'm sure you'll help us out of this problem, won't you? ”

"I will."
