Keith said slowly, "Raise your hand in favor of killing the Chimera!"
As soon as Keith's words fell, the second elder Dobin raised his hand high, and the third elder Luvina and the fifth elder Raison hesitated and raised their hands, so that there were only three people who agreed to kill the Chimera.

Dorbin frowned, he didn't expect the Elders to come to the island in the middle of the lake, and they were still against it when the situation was already so grim.
The Seventh Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Ninth Elder basically don't need to be counted on, they are all Keith's people, and only Keith is the leader, but the Fourth Elder Florinda and the Sixth Elder Silver have been elders for many years, and they haven't seen the shape clearly, which makes Dorbin a little disappointed.
Grand Elder Keith smiled, "Now, if you oppose killing the Chimera, you will raise your hand after you find out the facts!" After speaking, he raised his hand high.
Seventh Elder Rakcliffe, Eighth Elder Tompkin, and Ninth Elder Waldron raised their hands at the same time.
Keith smiled confidently and looked at Fourth Elder Florinda and Sixth Elder Silver, "What is the opinion of the two elders?"
"I abstain!"
"I abstain!"
Florinda and Silver looked at each other and whispered.
Keith sat down slowly, looking very neat, smiled and said, "Four to three, two abstentions, it seems that this vote is still not clear, Elder Dorbin, I'm afraid we have to continue to find out the root cause of the matter!"
Dorbin lowered his face and looked at the Fourth Elder Florinda and the Sixth Elder Silver with a pair of dignified eyes, "The High Priestess has already said that if this continues, she will not be able to maintain the power of the seal sooner or later, and when the time comes, the Chimera will break through the seal and cause losses to the elves like last time, I hope the elders can consider these conditions carefully!"
Florinda and Silver glanced at each other, but still did not say anything to Elder Dobin's words, much to Dobin's disappointment.
At this time, the elven empress, who had been silent, spoke, "The matter is serious, the last crisis happened, it has caused great damage to the elven villages around the island in the middle of the lake, and many of our brave elven warriors have sacrificed their lives for this, as the empress, I feel very sad, I hope that when you make a decision, you will consider the life safety of the elves, as well as the sacrificed warriors......"
The Elven Empress Elena, who had always been silent and never expressed much opinion, suddenly spoke up, shocking Florinda and Silver, and there was no doubt that she was speaking to them, and her position was naturally to support Elder Dorbin and kill Chimera.
"Her Majesty the Empress Xià ......"
Elder Dorbin looked back in surprise, a flash of joy in his eyes.
Although the Elven Empress was not a member of the Council of Elders and had no actual power, her words represented the supreme imperial power, and her weight was very heavy.
Unexpectedly, the empress's position changed, Keith, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly changed and became a little ugly, and sure enough, what he was most worried about finally happened.
Fourth Elder Florinda hesitated for a moment, and finally raised her hand tremblingly, "I...... I support the decision to kill the Chimera!"
As soon as the words came out, the audience was silent, and the faces of the Great Elder Keith, the Seventh Elder Rakcliff, the Eighth Elder Tompkin, and the Ninth Elder Waldron were all very ugly, especially the Great Elder Keith, he couldn't imagine that Florinda would turn back at a critical moment.
"This little bitch, who took my things and betrayed me?" Keith's face was very gloomy, in order to envelop Florinda, he took great pains to get a bottle of "Eternal Youth Elixir" from the plane store, and after drinking it, he could maintain his eternal youthful appearance, and even if Rong Hua was old, he could restore his youth, and gave it to her.
This thing is not cheap, a small bottle of potion actually costs 3 black crystal coins.
Keith didn't ask for much, and he just hoped that Florinda would support him in this matter, but unfortunately it fell short in the end.
Florinda didn't dare look at Keith, but her hand remained straight and high.
Keith was secretly scolding in his heart, in addition to scolding Florinda, he also scolded the Elven Empress, and somehow the Elven Empress, who had always been silent, actually stepped in.
Although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, Keith's face did not show any expression, and he had a kind smile on his face, "Didn't Elder Florinda just say that he would abstain?
Florinda was a little embarrassed, she was a little afraid to face Keith.
As the saying goes, eating people is soft-mouthed, and taking others is short-handed, which is about her current situation, and from the bottom of her heart, she actually supports killing Chimera.
Dorbin was surprised and delighted, after Keith's "tuning" during this period of time, he also came back to his senses, and touched some so-called political methods, although he was in the Presbyterian Church he was beaten by Keith and retreated, in the same way, he was also learning, and he was improving.
Dobbin thought he should have jumped out by this time.
"Oppose!" Elder Dorbin stood up and said-for-tat, "I object to Grand Elder Keith's so-called backsliding, before the Council of Elders is over, any position of the Elder can be changed after consideration, in the final analysis, it is for the sake of the elves!"
"That's right, I'm also for the Elves!" Florinda breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at him with Dobin's support.
Elder Dorbin's words were agreed by the third elder Luvina and the fifth elder Raison, who supported him, and this time, the support and opposition were four to four, and the two sides were tied.
Keith smiled, "Hehe, our side is also for the elves, it's just that everyone has different opinions, it's okay to have different opinions, just bring it up!"
Saying that, he paused, and said to Dobin, "Now it's four votes in favor, four votes against, and one abstention, Elder Dorbin, that resolution still can't be made!"
Elder Dorbin ignored him, turned to Silver and said, "Elder Silver, you know very well what will happen after the Chimera breaks the seal, I want you to show an attitude, yes, in the Council of Elders, although you have the right to abstain, I also have to remind you that in such a big matter, the attitude of abstaining is extremely irresponsible!"
Dorbin took advantage of the victory to pursue, and caught Keith and his gang off guard, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, the air was full of the smell of slaughter, the room was so quiet that even a pin could be heard, everyone held their breath and stared at Silver's attitude quietly.
Silver was in a dilemma, like Florinda, he had also taken things from Grand Elder Keith, and Dorbin's side was also pushing step by step, if he insisted on abstaining, he would become an irresponsible person.
From the heart, Silver is in favor of killing the Chimera, the former Chimera was the protector of the elves, no matter how you say it, it will be fine, but now it has become ferocious and violent, wreaking havoc, thirsty for killing, the island in the middle of the lake has become a time bomb, it will explode at any time, such a monster, why keep it? Fortunately, the high priest Wendini has this ability, and he killed it directly.
Silver had participated in the First Battle of the Chimera, and was apprehensive about the strength of the Chimera's Divine Domain.
Silver also didn't understand what Keith had in mind to keep the Chimera alive like playing with fire, but he received a necklace from Keith, which made him embarrassed.
It was an unusual necklace from the Plane Store, and it was very valuable.
It was now 4-4, only one vote away from both sides could be reversed, and the focus of victory and defeat was suddenly focused on him, which made him under so much pressure that he could barely breathe.
Finally, Silver's conscience finally triumphed over greed, and he moved his hand to raise it.
Keith had been nervously paying attention to the changes on Silver's face, and when he saw Silver's hand, he knew something was wrong, and he stood up suddenly, "It seems that Elder Silver hasn't thought it through yet, and it just so happens that I have some things that I haven't thought through, so let's postpone the meeting of elders until tomorrow, and then vote again, that's it, adjourn the meeting!"
Keith ignored the crowd and hurried away, not giving Dorbin a chance to speak.
After Keith got up, Rackcliffe, Tompkin, and Waldren also walked away quickly.
Silver breathed a sigh of relief, all the pressure was on him just now, making him breathless, and at this moment, cold sweat was already soaking through his clothes.
Dorbin was also disappointed, he could clearly see that Silver had changed his mind, but Keith, the scoundrel, had exercised the power of the Chief Elder to postpone the meeting, which made him a little helpless.
Dorbin gritted his teeth in anger, "Good guy, I'll let you go today, and see how you give us an explanation tomorrow!"
Keith walked, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, and at this moment he had miscalculated in the elders' meeting, which he did not expect, and he felt a little unplanned.
The most important thing is one person, the Elven Empress, it is her words that turn the whole situation around, and Dorbin has her support, excited like a chicken blood, biting him like a mad dog.
"Master Keith!" A voice sounded in his ears, but it was the Seventh Elder Rakcliff, the Eighth Elder Tompkin, and the Ninth Elder Waldron rushing out.
Rakcliffe's face was full of hatred, and he spat fiercely, "Damn, old fellow Dorbin, he has learned to go against us!"
"Yes, especially Florinda and Silver, didn't they take our favors, and they turned against us at the meeting?" said Tompkin indignantly.
Keith smiled faintly, "There's nothing strange about it, they're not our people, and they can never be trusted!"
"Master Keith, these two guys are going to ruin our big business, why don't you ......" Waldren's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent and made a cutting motion.
"Yes, kill them!" said Laccliffe and Tompkin, who were always infuriated, and Waldron agreed as soon as he said it......
"No!" Keith thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't like to use my fists to achieve the goal of using politics, besides, now is not the time to do it, even if you want to kill, the first target is not them!"
As he spoke, Keith's eyes flashed with the face of Elder Dobin, and this time in the Council of Elders, Dorbin walked directly to the front desk, and with the support of the Elven Empress, he openly called him out, making him lose face.
Using the authority of the Great Elder to forcibly end the Council of Elders, Keith himself felt a bit of a scoundrel, but he couldn't help it, things were beyond his control, and if he waited for the voting results to come out, it would be useless to say anything.
"What now, Lord Keith?" said Waldren, a little worried, "Tomorrow is the meeting of the Elders, and then...... The death of the Chimera will have a great impact on our plans!"
"Hmph!" Keith's eyes became blank, and he said with a sneer, "It's not that simple, the Council of Elders will only be held tomorrow, and we still have a chance!"
Keith smirked, leaving the Chimera alive naturally had his intentions, and a shocking conspiracy was slowly taking shape. Please go to see the first ad-free debut-
