Chapter 159: The Council of Elders
There is a total of one elder in the Council of Elders, and Dooss is not among them.
The three were all members of the Presbyterian Church, and the remaining eight elders were invited to attend, but they had to wait a few days because they had important issues at hand that were nearing completion.
"Okay, a few days is just a few days, just let Du Si sit in the patriarch's seat for a few more days!" Dutt slammed his fist into the wall.
One day, two days, three days, time passed day by day. There has been no movement at all in the secret room where Liu Hao is located.
Duke, who was guarding the door, gradually panicked. He received the news that the Council of Elders was going to be convened. If Liu Hao couldn't refine the Longevity Pill when the Council of Elders was convening, then after the Council of Elders, even if he refined the Longevity Pill, the effect would probably not be as simple as shrinking by half.
The bell rings "dang", "dang", "dang". On the eighth day, the bell of the Council of Elders finally echoed in the base.
Doose got up and left the throne, and as he was about to walk out of the temple, he glanced back at the throne that had been with him for more than forty years. "Old man, I hope to be with you after the meeting."
Eleven elders entered the eleven elders one after another. Of the eleven eleven elders, three remained neutral, four supported Duth, and the rest supported Duth.
When Duss's figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the door of the Hall of Elders slowly closed.
Today, instead of sitting in the patriarch's seat, Dooss stood in the middle of the hall. It was a position he was familiar with, and in the past, middle- and upper-class people in the clan who had made mistakes would stand here to be judged by themselves and the elders.
"Dear Patriarch Dous, allow me to address you as Patriarch one last time. We in the Elders are gathered here today to judge you for your sins. There are two crimes that the Elders have drawn up for you. One is that it is a crime committed by arsonists and disregards the rules of the clan. The other is the crime of treason in collusion with the Terrans.
You have a quarter of an hour to make a statement. If you are unable to convince the Elders to prove your innocence within this time, the verdict will be immediate.
In view of your past contributions to the Goblins, we will strip you of your title of Patriarch and send you to serve in the mines at the bottom of the lake for eternity.
Elders, is there anything else you have to add? "Dutt enjoys it. It is only when you open an elder's meeting that you can find that lofty sense of accomplishment.
The four elders who supported Dooss all shook their heads after glancing at each other. They would love to show solidarity with Douss, but reality does not allow them to do so. Because the mistake made by Does this time was so big that the entire goblin clan knew about it.
"Since there's nothing to add, Does, you can get started! I'll clock you. Dutt pulled out a pocket watch and squeezed it tightly in his hand.
Duss didn't speak immediately, but swept his gaze over the elders' faces one by one. He wanted to imprint their expressions in his mind forever. Seeing the truth at the time of adversity, sending charcoal in the snow at this time will make you remember it for a lifetime.
However, Dooss was disappointed. The four elders who supported him took the initiative to look away after coming into contact with his gaze.
"Elders, you say that I am guilty of treason, and I really don't know where this crime comes from? I think I've been thinking about the future of the goblin clan every day since I inherited the position of patriarch, and I've never slackened.
At the back of the throne there was a hut with only one bed, and that was where I rested. Every day, when I lie there, I forget everything and know that I am still a free person.
You only see the glorious side of me, but you don't see the scene of my painstaking work. The area we live in is not big or small. Around Rainbow Lake, we can't live on the ground, but we can live and work in peace.
Do you know what I have done for the goblins? If I do what you have to do, do all that stupidity? Isn't that a source of guilt for yourself?
You are the one I who connived at Duke's disregard for the clan rules, and I ask him which clan rule he violated? Which of the clan rules says that humans are not allowed on the base?
Elders, not to mention that you can memorize the rules of the clan backwards, you can always memorize them by heart! How did I not know that the elders of the goblin clan would talk nonsense with their eyes open? Could it be that the elders of the goblin clan are going back more and more, and their IQ is given to the dogs? ”
The power of the patriarch of Doose is not blown. If it weren't for the convening of the Council of Elders, none of the elders would dare to be presumptuous in front of the patriarch. Even the three did not dare to openly contradict Duss.
"I've been thinking about a question lately. Why can't we goblins live on the ground? Are the Terrans really that scary? Are the notes of the ancestors necessarily true?
I don't doubt the ancestors, but I put myself in the shoes of the past. If I were the Terran ancestor back then, I would only do more than the real Terran ancestor. There is a saying in the human race that cutting grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. How can I allow the calamity to remain?
Gong Yong, whom Duke approached a year ago, is a representative of the Terran Clan. Now the Terrans he brought back to the base are another kind of representative, and this type of people is exactly what I am looking for.
When we interact with such people, we don't have to worry about them crossing the river and forgetting their righteousness. As long as we don't do anything harmful to the human race, they won't abandon us.
We can work with such people for a long time. As long as this kind of people become the mainstream of the Terran world, we goblins can sit back and live in a brilliant light.
What I said you might think was a dream, a fool, and I was confused. But I'm telling the truth.
If you want to prove that what I am saying is the truth, you can only prove it with facts.
We all know that wisdom is the pride of our goblins. Lifespan is the shortcoming of our goblins.
Liu Hao, who Duke brought back, can solve this problem for us. Now he's refining a longevity pill for me. I will take this pill in front of everyone. If the longevity pill is indeed useful, then it is enough to prove that what I said before is true. ”
"Longevity Pill? Hahaha..., Does, I think you're really crazy. If the human race had this kind of elixir, would the life expectancy of ordinary people still be the same as ours? They had already used this elixir to conquer other races.
Our old pedants have been working on a subject. Some of the drugs they have developed now cannot be said to prolong our lifespan, but it is still possible to delay aging.
According to them, the ultimate meaning of life science is not something that we can grasp thoroughly at this stage. When one day, we can solve this problem, it also means that we are beyond the existing level of life.
Doose, please stop dreaming. He's a liar who gets exactly what you want, in order to confuse you and gain your trust. He knows how to make alchemy, but what he gives you is not a longevity pill, but an ecstasy pill. ”
"Who said I was refining the Ecstasy Pill? Hehe, I'm angry, their lifespan can be increased, but you can't. Liu Hao's voice came from outside the slowly open door.
The slap in the face was just right, and Liu Hao and Duke rushed to the Hall of Elders in time.
