Chapter 171: Dissuasion
Rowling seemed to have thought of something about the five elders' words, and did not force herself into the elders' seat, but stayed quietly in place and waited for their judgment.
The three elders were also sitting in the elders' seat at the moment, but their heavy faces were obviously annoyed by such a move, but apart from him, the other extremely elders had calm faces, as if they had some kind of faint tacit understanding between them.
The Fifth Elder said, "Rowling, based on the discussion of the Council of Elders, we have now unanimously decided to remove your right to be the Grand Elder, and you have any objections. ”
For such a decision, Rowling was mentally prepared, and did not resist or justify, but nodded silently.
"I respect the decision of the elders."
The fifth elder was extremely surprised by Rowling's attitude, in his mind, Rowling would inevitably refute and explain, but judging from the situation in front of him, the other party didn't seem to care about this decision at all, which made him extremely puzzled.
"Don't you plead?" The Fifth Elder asked.
"There's nothing to justify, but I just want to know what you're going to do in the next war."
The reason why Rowling asked this sentence was because she had been worried about the fate of the elven clan in her heart, but when these words fell into the ears of the fifth elder, the meaning changed, and he immediately shouted.
"You're not a member of the Council of Elders anymore, and you don't need to worry about these things."
Seeing the other party's stern attitude, Rowling gave up continuing to ask, but silently lowered her head with a look of disappointment in her eyes.
Seeing that Rowling was speechless, the fifth elder continued.
"Given that your affairs in the human world are unknown, until we investigate clearly, we are going to let you move out of the Elven Tower, and someone will take you where you need to be."
Without taking Rowling to answer, the five elders asked the guards to take Rowling out.
After Rowling left, the five elders looked at the elders with different expressions around them and said.
"That's it for Rowling, let's discuss the matter of the second elder next."
As soon as the words fell, the third elder asked with some annoyance.
"What do you want to discuss?"
Seeing this, the fifth elder smiled and said slowly.
"The Second Elder was able to bring the news back to my elven clan this time, which is actually a lot of credit, so I suggest that the second elder restore his freedom as a reward for my elven clan."
The Third Elder snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Isn't it a great achievement for Rowling to save the princess? Why do you want to favor one over the other? ”
The fifth elder still said with a smile.
"At this point in time, as I have already said in the Presbyterian Church, Rowling's return is indeed a bit strange, and the elves who went with her are all dead, so we can't be sure what happened to her in the human world. And the news brought back by the second elder is for the sake of our elven clan from any point of view, and you have all seen it in the previous elven council, Rowling has never defended herself, and it is the same today, which makes me very suspicious of her purpose, between this basis, Rowling must not be able to stay in the elven tower, but the second elder is different, we can completely let her regain her freedom, if you still have doubts about her words, we just need to temporarily strip her of the right to participate in the elder's council, what do you think? ”
Several other elders nodded yes when they heard this, they also felt that this approach was fair, although some of them did not live with Rowling emotionally, but at present, the elves were worried about internal and external troubles, and they could not take it lightly.
The Third Elder wanted to argue, but the other elders had already nodded in agreement, and the Fifth Elder interjected before he could speak.
"Since everyone agrees, then the matter is settled."
Seeing that there was no chance to speak, the third elder had anger on his face, but he looked at the people around him and did not refute, he also knew that no matter what he said, it was useless, but at the same time, the third elder also began to suspect the fifth elder, why did the other party not say anything yesterday, but today he began to support the second elder, could it be that something happened yesterday?
Thinking like this, the Third Elder immediately sent someone to investigate what happened in the Second Elder's room last night after he walked out of the council hall, and when he learned that the Fifth Elder actually met the Second Elder at night, he suddenly understood the reason for all this, and at the same time he was angry in his heart, he was also deeply worried about the fate of the Elven Clan.
After leaving the council hall, Rowling was taken to a dilapidated room, which was usually where elven prisoners were kept, so there were holes in both the windows and the roof, and there was not a single decent piece of furniture in the room, even the bedding was jet black.
The elf who was in charge of bringing Rowling over seemed to be a little unbearable with Rowling's treatment, and said hurriedly.
"Great Elder, wait, I'll call someone to clean it up."
But Rowling didn't care at all, waved her hand and said.
"No need, letting others see it will cause you trouble, it's good here, you can go down."
The elf wanted to say something when she saw this, but Rowling knew that the other party had good intentions, and persuaded the other party to leave.
The room was quiet, and although it was a little cluttered, there was no disgust in Rowling's eyes, and she took off her coat that she hadn't changed for three days, and began to clean up.
After a while, the room was cleaned by Rowling, although the windows and roof were still a little leaky, but it was not unbearable for Rowling, and she felt tired after cleaning up for nearly an hour, so she went to the creaky chair and wanted to rest for a while.
At this moment, the elf who had brought her over knocked on the door with clean bedding and tea, and called at the same time.
"Great Elder, I brought some things here, you may be able to use them at night."
When Rowling opened the door, she saw the elf handing over what she was holding, and immediately thanked her.
"Thank you, you won't be punished for doing this, will you?"
The elf shook his head, "No, I came here secretly with something, Great Elder, you put it away, I can't stay here for long." ”
With that, the elf shoved it into Rowling's arms and left with a smile.
Looking at the other party's expression, Rowling felt a burst of gratitude in her heart, slowly closed the door, and replaced the black Bucky's futon, and looking at the brand-new bedding, Rowling's eyes also showed a slight warmth.
At this time, the knock on the door sounded again, and Rowling thought that the guard had gone and returned, smiling and ready to thank the other party, but when she opened the door, the news on her face suddenly disappeared, but her brows were slightly furrowed with anger.
"What are you doing here?" Rowling questioned the woman in front of her.
But the woman didn't seem to feel the anger on Rowling's face, and directly stepped forward and pushed Rowling away and walked in by herself, and after seeing the furnishings of the room clearly, the smile in the woman's eyes was even stronger, and she slowly turned around and teased.
"Rowling, you have today!"
Rowling said angrily, "It's none of your business. ”
"Of course it's none of my business, the more painful you are, the happier I become, now that you have lost the status of a great elder, shouldn't you greet me, an elder."
Rowling snorted coldly, "Don't be self-righteous, what you do will eventually be discovered by the clansmen, do you think you have escaped God's sanctions?" ”
