Chapter 648: Hindsight

Elzac had a rather strange thing.

Many of his angels were dressed in all-white, unadorned robes tonight.

Among the angel clan, the white robe has always been loved by everyone, and this kind of clothing is also the traditional costume of the angel clan, but it should be noted that under normal circumstances, on these robes, the angels will always embroider some delicate ornaments on the neckline and cuffs, and these ornaments are different in style and color according to each person's liking, so that the whole white robe looks not too simple, but not too gorgeous.

For example, the white robes worn by those angels today without any ornaments are rarely worn by people in ordinary times, because in the tradition of the angel clan, if an angel wears this white robe, it means that he is mourning a deceased relative.

It is a robe for mourning.

There is only one circumstance in which so many angels wear such white robes as there is today, and that is when a respected figure of the angel clan who is loved by the clan has died.

Elzak had not heard of any of the most respectable members of his clan had died, so he was very puzzled by the situation.

And he also noticed another strange phenomenon.

Most of the angels in white robes were gathered together, their faces solemn, out of place with the happy surroundings.

At this time, the sky is getting darker and darker, and countless huge fires have been lit on the beach, and in the flickering firelight, the presence of these angels makes the atmosphere on the beach quite weird.

Elzak also found that many of his clansmen were as surprised by this situation as he was, and some of them came forward to ask curiously, but they didn't seem to get an answer, they came forward to ask with doubts, and left with doubts.

What made Elzac even more uneasy was that among the white-robed angels he appeared, some of them occasionally looked into his eyes, extremely cold and implicitly hostile.

With an ominous premonition, Elzac made his way through the crowd on the beach to a makeshift wooden platform, where Gillian and the others had been waiting for a long time, and everything needed for the sacrifice had been prepared.

Jilian was also wearing a white robe without any ornamentation, which made Erzac more and more uneasy, he knew that some things were about to be born, and the purpose of today's sacrifice was not as simple as he thought, and the leader of these things was probably Jilian who claimed that something important was about to be announced.

He suddenly regretted that he had come here without a guard, and he habitually reached out to his waist, and realized that he had not even brought a blade with him—he had only participated in a sacrifice, and there was really no need to bring a blade.

His eyes searched the stage, and he quickly found the person he was looking for.

Jonathan stood in the corner of the stage with a dozen angels.

This is another group of angels who are out of step with the current environment.

They weren't dressed in the white robes they wore without ornamentation, but they all wore swords at their waists.

They were the only armed group of people on the scene, aside from the guards.

The angels that Elzak recognized as being with Jonathan were all good martial artists in the clan, and they were all extraordinary, and he also knew that Jonathan had put a lot of thought into bringing these people over.

For some reason, after the angels of Jonathan were not wearing that kind of white robe, Elzac was secretly relieved.

He pretended not to be aware of the strange atmosphere around him, nodded to Jilian and the others as usual, and then walked to Jonathan's side.

"What's going on?"

He whispered to his henchmen, worried.

Jonathan shook his head and responded: "I don't know, it was already like this when I came, it didn't look right, I turned back and made some arrangements, I sent someone to inform you, but it seems that you didn't receive the news"

Elzac shook his head: "Maybe I missed the damn thing, what the hell is Jilian doing, what kind of tricks are they trying to play in that outfit?" ”

Jonathan shook his head again: "I don't know, but I think I've already arrived here, he can't afford any waves, let's wait and see."

Hearing Jonathan say this, Erzac calmed down: "That's right, let's see, what he wants to do, it seems that he has bad intentions towards me."

Saying that, Elzac turned to look in the direction of Jilian again, but now that the other party was also looking at him, so he immediately showed his usual smile, but Elzac who turned his head didn't notice that when he looked away, Jonathan's eyes flashed in a flash.

When the sun had completely set, the beach was already crowded, and the angels gathered at this moment, and Jilian officially began to preside over the sacrifice.

At the beginning, everything was in order, the ancient rituals, the solemn atmosphere, for this set, Erzac was already familiar with it, and he was tired of it in his heart, because he always felt that compared to these, the angel clan needed more change, and it was to focus on the future.

But when the sacrifice reached the point where a certain ritual required the presence of the patriarch, things finally began to change.

A coffin was carried to the open space in front of the makeshift wooden platform, and then opened.

Inside, of course, is Howard's remains.

After recovering Howard's remains, Gillian managed to dispose of them, so that although they were a little out of shape, they could still make all the angels who knew Howard recognize at a glance that the one lying in the coffin was the old patriarch they respected.

The old patriarch who had been missing for a long time, and was said to have been taken captive to Negan.

The scene was suddenly in a commotion, many uninformed angels were both sad and angry, and asked what was going on, and the informed angels gritted their teeth, they had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

And after Elzac saw who was lying in the coffin, his mind suddenly buzzed and he was confused.

He really couldn't understand that he had clearly hidden Howard's body so well, and the people who knew about it were all his henchmen, and they could be called his accomplices, so it stands to reason that as long as he didn't get it himself, Howard's body should be buried deep in the ground and never see the light of day again.

But right now, what appeared in front of him was indeed Howard's corpse, and he was sure that this corpse was not fake, because Howard had a very cherished ring with special meaning to him before his death, which was a birthday gift given to Howard by Howard's son and Esrena's father before he died in an accident.

This ring Howard has always worn on the ring finger of his left hand, Elzac is a good friend of Howard's son, he still helped choose this ring back then, and he followed Howard to get this ring on Howard, and now, this ring is quietly put on the left ring finger of the corpse in the coffin.

The great sense of shock and the fear of the revelation of the matter made Elzac stunned on the spot, and he was so frightened that when Gillian shouted the truth of the incident that night on stage, and accused him of being a murderer, trying to bring the angels into a state of no return, he didn't even notice at all.

His mind went blank.

After a long time, he was awakened by loud reprimands, and finally realized what was going on now, and noticed the countless angry eyes around him.

"Not me"

He pleaded loudly.

Elzac must have been a scheming man, and after reacting to his composure, he quickly regained his composure.

"Jilian, why do you say that I did the old patriarch's death? Why are you framing me like this? The death of the old patriarch, I didn't know what happened at the time, and I wasn't the only one present, and all the clansmen who were with me could prove my innocence, and the relationship between me and the old patriarch was also clear to everyone, what reason did I have to kill the old patriarch? Moreover, the old patriarch was obviously taken away by that Chen Jian's men, how could his body fall into your hands? What is your relationship with that Chen Jian? You have been secretly against me, dissatisfied with me becoming this patriarch, is it because you and Jian Chen have some shady conspiracy? ”

In addition to flatly denying what he had done, Elzak also questioned Gillian's position in turn, he was sure that what he had done was not discovered by anyone else at that time, he didn't know how Gillian knew all this, and why he chose to suddenly move today, but he was sure that the other party had no evidence.

And without evidence, Ji Lian would not be able to convince so many clansmen, everything is just his empty speculation, relying only on speculation, it is not so easy to take the position of his patriarch, and his prestige in the clan is not something that can be erased with an accusation.

And Jonathan also said before that suitable arrangements have been made for today's possible situation.

The situation is still not out of control, everything is still under control, and Erzac has a little peace of mind.

He turned his head to look at Jonathan, who had been following him, and motioned for him to try to control the commotion of his people, only to find that the other party was staring at him with angry eyes that were almost spewing fire.

And beside Jonathan, somehow there has been an extremely delicate figure by the standards of the angel clan, a female archangel.

It was Howard's granddaughter, Esrena, who was looking at him with the same angry eyes, who had taken refuge in what is now the Entagri Empire, and was said to have become the third empress of Jian Chen.

At this moment, Elzak suddenly figured out a lot of things.

He remembered that some time ago when he was in the imperial capital, he had heard someone secretly mention that Chen Jian's navy had an extremely powerful transportation capacity at sea, and because of this, the Kendall plan finally failed.

And now, the angel clan is on the seaside, Chen Jian's fleet is on the vast sea in front of him, and Esreina has also appeared.

He also suddenly remembered that many of the people in the white robes were the radicals who were very cooperative in this migration.

And the migration plan was proposed by Jonathan first, and Gillian's opposition was also so false at this moment.

Everything was planned a long time ago.

Realizing his hindsight, Elzac's body trembled violently.
