Chapter 133: Atonement
"Yes, wizard, you have to take responsibility, this matter has nothing to do with us."
"That's right, we didn't want to annoy the oracles, it's all the wizards who instigated us, you have to take responsibility."
The wizard also wanted to refute, but now there are more and more people who shirk responsibility, and he is indeed the main mastermind who provoked this incident, even if he wants to shirk responsibility, now that so many people are responsible for him, he can hardly escape.
As for why he strenuously denied that the Cham was not a divine envoy in the first place, the reason is very simple, and it has nothing to do with whether the Cham is a divine envoy or not. Even if they were, wizards would denigrate them for not being oracles. Wizards rely on the ability to communicate with the heavens to gain a high status in the tribe, now the messenger comes, people do not need to communicate with the gods through him, but directly communicate with the gods to achieve the purpose of communicating with the gods, in the long run, the status of the wizard in the tribe will be directly reduced, after all, people don't need him anymore and why give him any status, so the purpose of this act is to keep his power.
The chief pondered for a long time, and he also repeatedly deliberated on the decision in his mind, it is nothing if the wizard is gone, the key is that the incurable diseases of the entire tribe are solved by the wizard, if the wizard is gone, and there is no inheritance, then if the tribe has a disease in the future, what should it be.
Everyone looked at the chieftain and hoped that the chief would make a decision to appease the anger of the Sita.
The Great Elder of the Tribe spoke at this time: "Let's think about it, if we leave the wizard to the divine envoy at this time, who should be the next wizard, after all, the wizard has not cultivated a mature heir. Wizards have been passed down since I don't know how many years ago, and we must not break it in our own hands. ”
At this time, the chief was still weighing the pros and cons, and the words of the Great Elder blocked the mouths of some people, but the vast majority of people were still opposing the words of the Great Elder, there was already a divine envoy, what kind of wizard was needed, and if there was anything, it would be okay to directly find the divine envoy to solve it.
In the end, the chieftain decided that we must leave the wizard to the oracle, but we should try to intercede with the wizard to save him.
Seeing this, everyone stopped discussing it, their supreme leader had already made a decision, and they said that there was no need for more.
In the evening of the same day, the chief and other high-ranking officials escorted the wizard to the Lakshmi copper mine, and the grassland at night was lit up with bunches of torches, which naturally attracted the attention of the defenders, and the Sita expedition team was expected to end Lakshmi's investigation only after tomorrow, and Hou Zongsheng, as the governor, was naturally informed of the news.
"It's really, the night doesn't stop." At this point, except for the guards, everyone rested, Hou Zongsheng put on his clothes as he walked, and hurried to the city wall after he was dressed.
"Your Excellency, we have come here to atone for our sins." When the defenders saw that the natives did not stop, they took out their cannons and set up their guns, hoping to teach the natives some lessons. But when they heard this, they laid down their weapons.
"What's going on now?" Hou Zongsheng climbed up the city wall at this time and asked about the current situation, and he tidied up his clothes as he asked.
"My lord, they say they are here to atone for their sins." The guard soldier reported.
"Oh? Expiation? I'll ask. Hou Zongsheng propped his hands on the city wall and shouted down: "What sins are you here to atone for?" ”
"This morning, a large number of people from our tribe came to the city to make trouble, we didn't know anything about it, and later we learned that he had caused us such a big disaster, and we couldn't sleep well, so we arrested the mastermind and came to ask for guilt." The chief spoke.
Hou Zongsheng relaxed a little, he came to atone for his sins, it was really scary, so he said, "Then why are you here at night?" is still so exciting, and let people not sleep, apologize for the guilt, how bad it is to disturb people's dreams. Well, then, go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay, let's go first, and we'll come back tomorrow to atone for our sins." With that, the crowd quickly left Lakshmi.
"Huh, I'm sleepy, you continue to watch it, let's go back first." Hou Zongsheng yawned, it was really bad to be suddenly woken up, and he had to rush back to sleep again.
The next morning, the natives came to Lakshmi again, but not the same group as last night.
There is no place for the indigenous workers in the mine, they all go back to the tribe directly after they are busy, Hou Zongsheng looked at the coming and going and waited for the indigenous people to go to the mine and nodded, it seems that these indigenous people are also hard-working people, and they came to work early in the morning. By the way, did the water tribe say yesterday that they were coming to ask for sin? Hou Zongsheng scratched his head, am I dreaming? It's really, really not a good dream, dreaming that I was woken up.
"Old Hou, didn't you say that something big happened last night? What a big deal, it's making everyone uneasy. Nguyen Van summoned.
"Huh? What happened yesterday? Hou Zongsheng was a little confused.
"The whole mine knows, it is said that the natives came to plead last night? What's going on? Ruan Van Zhao asked.
"Huh? Isn't that a dream? How do you know what dreams I'm dreaming about? Hou Zongsheng said.
"Dreams?" Ruan Wenzhao suddenly realized, he thought it was a dream with this guy, he laughed and said, "Yes, it's a dream." I heard you sleepwalking yesterday and talking in your dreams, and now the whole city knows about it. ”
Hou Zongsheng was taken aback and said, "I lost it, then I didn't lose anyone else except for this." ”
"Yes, you still grind your teeth and snore at night, and many people have seen it." Ruan Wenzhao said with a smile.
"It's over, it's a shame." Hou Zongsheng anxiously paced back and forth.
"Two Governors, here they are." Suddenly, a soldier came running to report.
"Who's coming?" Hou Zongsheng asked.
"Last night the natives said they were going to plead guilty, and now they're here."
"I'll rub, you go first, I'll come later." Hou Zongsheng asked the soldiers to leave first, "You play with me, eat me with an invincible meow punch." He only now understands that it was not a dream, but a real thing, and Nguyen Van Zhao was really playing with him.
"I said you too, why can't you tell the difference between dreams and reality." Ruan Van Zhao scoffed.
"I ...... I just fell asleep. Hou Zongsheng's face was slightly red, and he said.
"Let's not talk about this for now, it's not good that we keep them hanging there, you can go with me to ask for the guilt, no, go pick up the guests." Hou Zongsheng said.
Ruan Wenzhao nodded, and the two went to the city gate together.
