Chapter 48: Who Will It Be
Siruti didn't speak, and for a long time, stepped aside.
"Elders!" the wolf king's gaze swept over the audience, "I know that you are not bloodless! And we are not afraid of them! If we fight! We will not back down, we are the noble wolf clan! We are the descendants of Anubis, the god of death! In our bones, there has never been cowardice! You can't forget the hatred between you and the blood clan, and I can't forget it...... But now is not the time for us to be stubborn! This is not a game, it is a choice that will determine the life and death of the whole clan! Are we afraid? We are not afraid? We are not afraid, but our thousands of people, they are innocent, they are fresh lives, and the immortal blood of our wolf clan! We can ignore our own safety, but we cannot ignore their life and death! In this matter, you are helpless, you hesitate, you hesitate, and I am still! However, we have to make a choice, a choice between life and death! ”
After saying this, the wolf king Kai'an leaned on the throne in collapse as if he had been suddenly sucked out of his spirit, breathing heavily.
No one spoke in the hall, and the hall fell into a dead silence, as if there had never been a life, and the silence was terrifying.
After a long moment, Kayan waved his hand weakly, "Stand down, everybody—I hope to hear your best answer at the next meeting." ”
The elders slowly retreated, dragging their steps much heavier than they had come. Godot opened the door of the temple, still standing outside the temple, not moving.
The elders walked out of the main hall, leaving only the Great Elder, Gesbudo, who had not spoken a word from beginning to end.
Kayan stepped down from the throne step by step and stood beside Gesbudo, "Grand Elder, tell me what you think. ”
"There's a lot of pressure, isn't it?" Gesbudo patted Kai'an on the shoulder, just like an elder admiring a junior—and that's true, "The choice must be there—'Gu Yuan' has been established for the longest time, and the foundation is also the strongest, but the blood clan has merged one step ahead of us, and we are very passive; ”
"What do we need to do?" asked Kayne humbly. In the wolf clan, Kai'an has always valued the Great Elder, the old man who has assisted the wolf king for two generations, and his status can be seen from the fact that in addition to the wolf king, the great elder and the second elder can mobilize the wolf tooth army at will.
"We need to know what their attitude is towards us, so I'm going to go to the Shadows. First, we have a better understanding of the current situation, and second, that little boy of Vie is still in the dark and wants to go and see him. ”
Kai'an was shocked: "Great Elder, this matter is not allowed! Just send other elders, if you have any accidents outside, I really don't know what to do......
"Haha!" Gesbudo looked at Kayan with a kind smile, "Kayan, like you just said, this is not a game, and this is not a time for stubbornness. To go, we have to go to someone who has enough status not to make them think that we are perfunctory! Sometimes, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we must also stride forward bravely! There must be someone to solve everything. ”
"Great Elder......" Kayan bowed deeply to Gesbudo. This shocked Gesbudo and hurriedly pulled it.
Looking at Kai'an, who was pulled up, Gesbudo was silent for a long time, and said, "Wolf King, is this matter of Weiyi ...... with His Highness?"
Kayan stretched out his hand and interrupted Gesbudo's words, "Great Elder, these are extraordinary times, let's talk about these things later......"
Seeing that Kayan didn't want to delve into this matter, Gesbu bowed down and withdrew from the main hall.
"Mengge, is it really you?"

In the Tamil Manor restaurant, Ai Yan is so tasteless that she nibbles on a roast chicken, uh...... Of course, I ate it too fast, I only thought it was delicious, and I couldn't taste anything else, and at the same time I had some apprehension in my heart......
In the previous conversation, it was originally decided to return to the temporary "transit station" courtyard, but when Mu Tian found out that Ai Yan and the others were actually eating a lot there, he left the three of them to eat silently and grasp the curry rice, and his heart was extremely unbalanced, shouting that he would also come to eat the "overlord meal", and begged them to leave some for the three of them.
"Brother Ai, Sister Ran Yin, are they almost there?" asked Liu Xike with a weak heart.
"Hmm...... Well, it should be soon......" Ai Yu Housaihai stuffed the chicken and replied perfunctorily.
On the side, Chen Yang simply became the embodiment of gluttony, and he was swept all the way, muttering in his mouth: "Take advantage of Mu Tian's kid not coming, hurry up and eat more, or you will lose ......"
At the right time, the maid who had already looked stupid on the side kindly reminded: "Sir, if you don't think it's enough, we can serve it again—these foods are not lacking in the Tamil family, you can rest assured." ”
When Chen Yang said this, he almost choked to death on the spot, "Damn, why didn't you say it earlier!"
The maid looked at Chen Yang with an innocent face, and her eyes clearly said: You didn't ask me either?
After finally solving the roast chicken, Ai Yan relieved the maid and said, "Okay, hurry up and finish eating, we still have a lot of things to do, so don't waste time on these meaningless things." ”
Chen Yang's back was slumped on the back of the chair, holding his stomach with both hands, and he said half-dead: "No, no, I'm going to die......"
Hao Ren glanced at Chen Yang with disdain on the other side, but then found that he was embarrassed to find that he was no better.

Gesbudo walked, and as far as his eyes could see, it was the rising sun. The morning sun was scattered on the Nile, shining with a faint golden light, flashing with ripples, like the scales of a huge fish, shining with the light of the morning light.
Dressed in white, Gesbuddo stood on the banks of the Nile, silent. Not far behind him, Godot was silent, dressed in black civilian clothes.
Godot was ordered by the Wolf King Kai'an to follow the Great Elder and protect his safety all the way. Originally, the Wolf King wanted to send a team to follow, but Gesbudo refused, on the grounds that there were too many people, which would attract the attention of ill-intentioned people. Therefore, Godot was the only one who followed the Great Elder.
"Godot, what do you think of this?"
Gesbudo's question, a venerable old man, made Godot a little unresponsive, "Great Elder, I don't have a precise definition of scenery, but I just think this place is beautiful, and there is a beauty that makes people feel at ease. ”
"Yes, she is indeed beautiful, the mother river that gave birth to our wolf clan. The river has also given birth to gods – from Ra, to Ennead, to our ancestor Anubis, and others...... She is magical, but also selfless...... No one would say that she was not beautiful, because it was a word against her will, and she was hated by the gods, and she was punished by the gods, so that after her death, her soul could not go to the kingdom of the gods, but could only be sent to the hell of Abi. Gesbudo turned slowly, "But look at the other side......"
Godot felt as if his body was out of his control, or that the words of the Great Elder had a powerful magic power over him, controlling his mind, but he was not disgusted. Godot looked behind him as Gesbudo was pointing, he could see far away because of the wolf constitution.
There, there is a village. In the low wooden houses, the native Egyptians held a broken pottery bowl that could no longer be called a bowl, and ate a black mass of unknown things, but these people attracted a wave of envy from a few thin people who were either squatting or standing on the side. A swarthy, emaciated little girl took advantage of the early morning to carry a simple wooden shovel, as if to dig up insects hiding in the ground, for today's breakfast. Because it is located in a remote place, close to the desert, it is not favored by the Nile, which gives a fertile land, but a barren land. But fortunately, they are not without everything. The low slopes near the Nile are planted with grains, which produce little but are better than nothing.
And because of this, not everyone can eat. People who have no land depend on wild vegetables and wild animals to live, and if the timing is not good, there are not a few who starve to death. But even if someone starves to death, no one else cares, because they are about to face the tragedy of starvation.
"See, the Nile is beautiful, but it doesn't bring anything to these people. Beauty and ugliness coexist, this is the real world. Everybody loves good things, even me. But we should not forget the other side, the other side of beauty. When her opposite appears in front of people, many people deceive themselves, do not want to believe, and even paralyze themselves to forget. But does that really work? Self-deceivers will eventually be rejected by the truth, and then they will regret it, regret their past, and regret their ignorance. But at that time, the gods will not accept his confession, because the gods have long since abandoned these people who flock to the arms of the devil. Things are always opposed, and there is no absolute existence. ”
The girl dug a nest of ants, was ecstatic, didn't mind if they were hygienic or not, pinched them one by one and ate them.
Gesbodeau, the old man who had long been accustomed to life and death, sighed and turned around, "Godot, let's go." ”

The restaurants were pushed away, and the old butler Natathan led five people in: Mu Tian, Ran Yin, Yue Ling, Sikal, and Xiao Kailin.
"Damn, you really have a big meal here! Such a good thing, you don't even call us, what are the intentions of the four of you?" Mu Tianyi came in and saw a large table full of delicacies, and roared like a pig.
Chen Yang walked over with a hippie smile, "You guys are here, don't mind Mu Tian, didn't we tell you later......? Oh yes, waiter, refuel!"
The maid who had been standing aside didn't care, and after a while, she led a few young women in maid costumes and pushed the dining cart to serve all the food that had been prepared.
Mu Tian couldn't wait, a hungry tiger pounced on the table, put his hands together, and didn't forget to greet Yue Ling and the others.
Kailin looked at the table of food with a surprised expression, as if it was the first time he had seen such a luxurious meal, and he ate a few bites at random with curiosity, and his eyes widened. Seeing that his brother Sikar also had a bulging cheek, he didn't hesitate at the moment and ate the sea wildly.
A table of delicacies, after the second storm, was finally solved by Ai Yan. Natathan looked at the scene in front of him like a locust transit, and the corners of the old man's mouth, who could handle almost everything calmly, twitched a few times, but finally held back and didn't say anything.
In a burst of hiccup, a few graceful maids cleaned up the table, and absolutely no one would believe that this was the "food battlefield" not long ago. In the process, Mu Tian was a little puzzled - how could Ms. Nixi tolerate such a group of sexy maids staying in the castle to serve?
Afterwards, Mu Tian quietly talked to Ai Tian about the matter, and Ai replied to Mu Tian with a serious face:
"Dude, it's not realistic for your obscene thoughts to be used on Mr. Summit, you must understand that every successful man has his own unique secret recipe for keeping a mistress, among which, the most taboo is to be known by a genuine wife. So from all the above, it is not difficult to see that your suspicions are not valid at all, unless Mr. Summit is more daring than ordinary people, it is death!"
Mu Tian admired these words for a while, as if a door to a larger space had suddenly opened in front of him, and he benefited a lot. I also made up my mind at that time to follow Ai Yan to the end, under the leadership of such a boss, the future must be bright!
After the meal, Ai Yan and the others directly discussed a few key issues at the table, and did not avoid Sikal and Senka, after all, they were their own people. Natathan, on the other hand, playfully left the extravagant dining room with a few maids.
Ai Yan coughed lightly, "Let's discuss the mission itself first. It is impossible for everyone to be wrong when they take on the task, so it means that someone has done it. And those who can do this in the Dark Evil Bureau can only have this authority at the top - this is also the result of my discussion with Chen Yang and the others before you came. ”
I agree with that. So, who could it be?" Ran Yin's solemn gaze filled the eyeballs.
