Chapter 90 of the Academy: Ordered
"Everyone has something to say, don't hurt the harmony of your family. "Every family will always choose a slightly older person to be the housekeeper, because the baptism of the years has smoothed out the edges and corners of the youth, and the way things have become more sleek.
The old man who came out had squinting eyes, white hair and white beard, and his whole body was no different from that of an ordinary old man.
The noise outside the door caught his attention, especially when he heard that it was the high priest who was coming, and immediately opened the door and greeted him, smiling brightly.
When the guard saw the butler coming out, he consciously put away his weapon, stepped aside, did not squint, and continued his guard work, and the rest of the matter was not something that the two of them could handle.
"This is the hospitality of your leopard clan?" the henchman raised his eyebrows, and his tone was not good.
"How so, don't misunderstand, my lord!" the butler immediately waved his hand, and then let out a long sigh, "It's not that we want to keep the adults out, but the current appearance of the patriarch is really not suitable for visitors." ”
"Oh? ”
The butler leaned forward, narrowed the distance between him and his henchmen as much as possible, moved his mouth to the henchman's ear a little, and whispered, "A few days ago, the patriarch had a strange disease, and he would lose his heart and go crazy every once in a while, and many guards were injured. ”
"And now it's a coincidence that the patriarch is sick again, so I have to close the door of the house, for fear of being known by others, if there is anything that offends the adult, I hope the adult can understand. ”
"Then why are you telling me?" the henchman looked at him with interest, "I'm afraid I'll pass on this secret?"
"Anyone can hide it, but you can't hide it from the high priest, so a few days later, the big castle lord's wedding, the patriarch may not be able to go, bear with me. The butler's tone was very sincere, and then with a flick of the sleeve of his arm, a bag of ashes fell into the hands of his henchman, "I also hope that the lord will have a few kind words, so that our patriarch will not be hated by the high priest and the old castle lord." ”
"I see, then it's a nuisance. The heavy bag made the henchman immediately change his attitude, no longer so domineering, and his smile became gentle, "The patriarch is well recuperate, then I won't bother." ”
"Your Excellency!" said the butler respectfully.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" the henchman left here with a smile on his face, he weighed it, and secretly said that the leopard clan was generous.
The conflict that was about to break out was turned invisible by the butler's understatement, and he watched his henchman go away, with a disdainful smile on his face, so easy to be bought by money, nothing more than that.
"Although the patriarch said that you won't let anyone in, but can't you be flexible, now we can't make enemies with the people of the wolf clan, remember to be polite next time we meet him, you know?"
"Okay!" The two guards nodded hurriedly, and the boss spoke, how dare they disobey, for fear that they would offend this uncle by expressing their voice.
"Give me some more eyesight in the future, don't make a mess for me!" After criticizing these two subordinates, the housekeeper turned around and went back, ready to discuss with the patriarch, this wedding came too suddenly, they didn't think of countermeasures for a while, but in fact, there is no need to panic, there are still six days, which is enough.
The two guards felt very aggrieved, obviously they did it completely according to the patriarch's orders, and now they have to be scolded, it is really unfavorable for the passing years, and the two look at each other silently.
...
The henchmen who left from the leopard clan turned to another destination, and the entire vultures were not only these tribes, but there were also many who were waiting for him to send an invitation, busy from dawn to dark, and the henchmen dragged their tired bodies back to the high priest's residence.
The high priest was leaning back on the luxurious bed, holding a book in his hand, and there were many pieces of paper made of bark on the table, and the room was silent, and he was most taboo to be disturbed by others when he was reading, so that the people did not dare to make a sound at this time.
There was a creak, and the heavy door was pushed open by the henchman, and the high priest was pulled back to reality by the voice.
"Is this done?" asked the High Priest casually, looking up, putting down the glasses on the bridge of his nose and the book in his hand. Then he found that he still had a stack in his hand, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The henchman handed over the remaining invitations, and the high priest took them, looking through each one, and when he saw the names on them, the smile on his face became even stronger.
"You are really clever, all the names on it are exactly what you expected in the morning, the leopard clan and the ten small tribes have all excused themselves with various excuses, and I have not been too harsh on them according to your instructions. The henchman's face showed sincere admiration, since the person in front of him sat in this position, his means and mind were not at the same level as the previous priest.
The previous priest was beheaded by the old castle lord for saying the wrong thing, but since the new priest came to power, the violent and cruel old castle lord has been obedient to his rectification and has become a big celebrity around him. Especially recently, the old castle owner has been seriously ill, and a lot of power has gradually passed into his hands, but there is one most important thing that he has not yet obtained.
The henchman could see that a thing called desire in the high priest's heart was swelling violently, and this was exactly what he wanted to see, and he diligently followed his side, isn't it just to get more power and higher status?
Without the suppression of the old castle lord, the powerful tribes below were all ready to move, and they thought of sitting on that throne, but because the henchmen followed the high priest's side, they stood tall and saw a lot, and the high priest's skillful tactics and ruthless heart gave him reason to believe that who the winner of this time was!
...
The flattery of his henchmen, he accepted it as a matter of course, but there was no more performance, this group of stupid half-orcs were like uncivilized beasts in the eyes of the high priest, and playing with their brains was not his opponent at all, so he was in control, and the reason why he did not make a move was because of the existence of a shadow guard by the side of the old castle lord, and he had not figured out the strength of the shadow guard until now, and he did not dare to act rashly at will, and the important thing was that although the old castle lord was old, the residual power was still there, and the most elite troops of the vultures were still in his hands.
As long as the High Priest does not master this elite power or does not kill the shadow guard who follows him like a shadow, he will never do it, he will not fight a battle that he is not sure of, and this big wedding is an opportunity he created, an opportunity for him to hide from this throne.
"Those who did not accept the invitation are all written down in a small notebook, and when the time comes, there will be no mercy!" The high priest seemed to be saying a very ordinary thing, and killing people was as simple as eating and drinking tea for him. "By the way, there's another one!"
"Who?" asked the henchman, confused.
"Tiger Clan, that guy! He can't let it go. ”
The henchman's expression was a little hesitant, but he still said it, "I have already talked to him just now, and he has agreed to form an alliance with the adults to dominate the entire vultures together." ”
"Huh. The High Priest smiled disdainfully, and said, "You really think that's what he thinks, that fellow is more greedy than I am, and quite disobedient." ”
"Last time, he hid it from me and killed the entire tribe of the cat clan, he knew that I couldn't help him now, and he acted recklessly, not taking me seriously, so that I got this five-color stone but couldn't do it, and he was really angry with me. "Ever since the High Priest snatched the legendary five-colored stone from Elise, he had been studying how to open it.
According to classical records, the five-color stone should be born in the five elements, take its strength, turn over the river and the sea, even if it is placed in the peak of the ancient times, the era when the big guy walks all over the ground, it is also rare to get treasures.
He only knows that this thing is very good, but he just doesn't know how to use it, just like a child holding a gun and not knowing how to use it. He had just flipped through an ancient book, and still hadn't found a way, and the only old woman who knew the way was poisoned by his son, and he was angry when he thought of this, so who did he ask, and the dog-legged man he bewitched didn't know why it disappeared. It's like the world has evaporated, and now the only thing that has anything to do with this stone is Elise.
But now the situation did not allow him to do anything excessive, so he often looked at books these days to see if he could find a solution from them.
...
"Is the adult going to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
"This bridge must be demolished, but now is not the time, he knows that I need his strength to deal with the old guy lying on the bed, and he also knows that without me, he will not succeed, we can only cooperate with the outside and work together, we have a chance to complete the great cause. The High Priest's eyes gleamed dangerously, "We both know that when this country is defeated, we will see who will be able to sit in that position." ”
"Swear to follow your lord!" The henchman holds his heart in his hands, raises his head and chest, and holds his legs straight to express his center.
"Don't swear this fake oath anymore, I won't say anything superfluous, as long as you do things well, I won't treat you badly, and then you will sit in this vacant position. ”
Confidant ecstasy, this was the first time that the high priest had given him such a clear promise, and desire was not only eroding others, but also eating away at him, and he felt his heart beat "bang", and his whole heart seemed to jump out
"Don't worry, you can complete the task!"
"Good!" Seeing that his lure had worked, the high priest was also very happy, he suddenly lowered his voice and hooked his finger at him, "You come closer, I have something to say to you!"
The henchman still stuck his ears out.
"You do it first...... And then...... Again...... , Finally...... "The high priest entrusted the most important part of the plan to his henchmen, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn, "Only success, not failure, you are Jackie Chan and an adult will see this experience, understand?"
"I know!" The henchman nodded heavily, interests always coexist with danger, and he promised him such a great benefit, and it was also appropriate to work for him, "I will give up this life and fight him!"
"Okay, then I wish you success, come, have a drink!"
The henchman drank it without the slightest hesitation, and when the next person arrived at the glass of wine given to him, there was no turning back after drinking this wine.
"Cool!" he drank it all, and the spicy taste in his mouth made him inhale hard. His belly was flushed, a quarter of it was because of alcohol, a quarter of it was fear, and the other half was excitement!
