For the first time since the Blood Sacrifice was held, the Vikes were killed in the final battle, a result that was unbelievable to all Vikes.

They were all unusually angry!

Like Denise's roaring declaration of war, this result is a blasphemy against the Ancestors!

But Georgia, who presided over the ceremony, was equally furious.

He knew Willy's strength, and he knew that the result of his almost helpless killing was very strange.

It must have been Denise doing it in private!

After all, even the members of the Bryne family have appeared in her gladiator ranks, and what is it unusual to make Willy die in an unknown way!

With this reasoning in mind, he ignores Denise's challenge, and instead angrily accuses all Vidocq that it was not he who had tarnished the glory of the ancestors, but Denise who had broken the rules of the ceremony.

All Victors felt the same way about his accusations.

With their strength, it is not difficult to see that the process of Chris killing Willy is too unbelievable.

Therefore, they all set their eyes on Denise who jumped into the gladiatorial arena, wanting her to give a reasonable explanation.

But where does Denise come from?

She is also Vidocq, and she can see that something is wrong.

And no one told her about Joe's private agreement with Chris.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't have been able to risk being besieged by all the Vidocq in this situation.

The only thing she could do was to insist that she wasn't ghostly, and put the blame back on Georgia: "Joke! Willy is from Georgia, what does it have to do with me why his strength has suddenly dropped and his poor form! The ancestor is above, and after the opening of the blood sacrifice ceremony, I have never met him, how can I have the opportunity to murder him! ”

This argument was endorsed by a part of Vidocq.

Among them, several Victors, who formed an alliance of interests with her, also vouched for the truth of her words in the name of their ancestors.

But such an argument does not explain the cause of Villeley's death.

Georgia, who was not willing to give up, immediately retorted and quarreled with Denise.

Eventually, Vidocq, who had remained neutral, came up with a solution: to test if the dagger was poisonous.

They all saw Willy slash Chris's dagger through his chest before he was killed.

If the dagger is poisonous, Denise will be charged with breaking the rules of the festival, and will not only cancel the outcome of the victory, but also face punishment - the wealth and property belonging to her name will be confiscated, and she will not be able to enjoy the exclusive rights of Vidocq for ten years, such as presiding over the blood festival or establishing a private power.

As for the three Chris who executed Denise's will~

It's just three ants, there is no need to discuss, just put their heads under the statue of the ancestor according to the rules of defeat, and take the body to feed the beast.

But if the dagger is not boring, then Georgia, who is presiding over this grand ceremony, will be responsible for the crime of tarnishing the glory of the ancestors. According to the rules, he either accepted Denise's challenge to a duel, or he bowed his head and accepted a condition that Denise was the victor offered.

This approach was approved by all Victors.

Even those allied with Denise are no exception.

Because for the Vik people, Vidocq's power comes from the maintenance of the glory of the ancestors, and if the glory of the ancestors cannot be guaranteed, then there is no personal interest.

This method also relieved Qiao, who was watching silently from the side.

The potion she made the old witch of the clan prepare was not toxic in itself, and it was only effective against Willy, who had been taking special condiments for a long time.

Therefore, in the presence of many Vidocq, Georgia, who did not dare to duel, had to bow her head and declare her support for Denise to become the high priest.

It's just that Denise's mood is not beautiful.

Because just after she became the high priest, a non-caring Vidocq casually said: "With the high priest, should a patriarch be elected?" ”

With such a fluttering question, the next development of things deviated from Denise's original intention.

Vidocq, who had always been only interested in killing, suddenly became interested, and they all started to elect the patriarch.

And Denise was excluded from the list as the High Priest.

In less than two minutes, the patriarch of the Vic people was born, and a Vidocq in his seventies, who had awakened his real name, was elected.

The efficiency is so high that everything seems to have been premeditated.

But everyone understood.

Denise's ambition was so hot that the rest of Victor felt uneasy, so she improvised a patriarch to limit her power.

Denise couldn't argue with anything.

And she also took over the task assigned by the new patriarch with a smile - to resist the invasion of the mayfly clan after the blood festival, she needs to lead her followers and slaves to stand in the position with the highest casualty rate.

She had to accept it.

Because the dagger was not poisonous, it did not mean that the cause of Willy's death was solved.

The new patriarch felt the need to have a Vik of Willy's strength fight Chris's again, in order to deduce whether Willy's death was due to his weakness and killing, or if he had been manipulated in private.

In such a way, of course, Denise can't accept it!

After all, everyone knows that Chris can't be Ville's opponent!

As a result, Denise had no choice but to accept that she would be in the most dangerous position when defending against the mayfly invasion.

Therefore, she is in a less beautiful mood.

Even her faithful dog-legged Lapsi consciously held her breath.

And when there was only one person left in the huge gladiatorial arena, she suddenly attacked, directly punched Joe to the ground, and said with a hideous face, "Joe, my dear daughter, if you don't have a suitable reason within a minute, I will unscrew your head and put it at the door of the house!" ”

She had already guessed that the cause of Willy's death had something to do with Joe.

However, it is not surprising to think about it.

During the final period of the Blood Rite Ceremony, Joe has been hanging out with Chris, and only Joe can make Willy die without knowing it.

Especially the dead Willy, who is Joe's future enemy!

As it happens, she has always known about Joe's ambitions.

"Mother, because in a fair gladiatorial fight, I am not completely sure that I will kill Willy!"

Joe, who got up from the sand, did not deny his actions, and said while wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, "I'm not sure, these three Terran ants are even more impossible!" Not even a miracle can be! For you to become a high priest, I can only use other means to ensure victory! Mother, you should know very well that this is our only chance! ”

After listening, Denise fell silent.

Because it's a fact.

In the final battle that just ended, even if Willy died early, the three of Chris still won the victory with great difficulty at the cost of everyone's injuries.

If the most powerful Willy does not die....

She couldn't be a high priest in her life!

"What do you do with that dagger? Why can you make Willy incapacitated, but not the rest of the Vivens? ”

After a long silence, Denise asked.

This also made Joe secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

She knew she wouldn't be screwed off by her mother for a while.

didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told the matter one by one, and even the agreement of the three Chris to exchange the victory reward for the secret was not hidden. I don't know if it's because I'm afraid that I can't hide my secrets, or if I'm using this to prove that I'm just responding to the needs of others, rather than actively seeking personal gain.

"Don't come back until you become Victor!"

This is what Denise said to Joe after Lapsey swore to prove that Joe's words were not concealed in the slightest.

confiscated all the slave property in Joe's name and drove her out of Sin City,

This is a punishment for her assertiveness.

And it is for the sake of Joe's victory, and in the future, he can be his own left shoulder and right arm in the clan.

Joe didn't dare to complain about this, so without saying a word, he turned around and went back to pack his things and left.

As for the three of Chris~

Denise was still very credible, and they all got what they had hoped for.

But only if they've been fighting a war against the mayfly invasion.

"Ants, you did what I asked for and got my reward."

After Joe left, Denise, who was still a little grumpy, said, "But the means by which you achieved victory have put me on the back of punishment, so you must also accept the punishment!" Your rewards will be earned after following me against the mayfly invasion. ”

In this regard, the three Chris, who were a little disappointed, also had no objection.

No way, do you want to reason with a Vidocq who is in a state of irritability?

No one wants to go and be reunited with their ancestors on the spot!
