MTL - Return of the Dead [Holo]-Chapter 195

Things went surprisingly smoothly.

When the three major races went to talk to Gruen to let her retreat to her proper position to be a high priest, Gruen protested very strongly, but this protest did not seem to have any results, just like Throwing a handful of dust into the water, it disappeared without even a slight movement.

After Guluen expressed her anger and protest in that meeting with the three races, she never had any aggressive behavior. She seems to have returned to a normal Guluen, but the current Guluen En was forced to stay in the temple and could not go out a step.

The elves have gone through a long period of time, and they have their own set of laws and principles of conduct. Although this set of rules has been criticized by most elves, it has existed for such a long time. Naturally, it has its own Rationality, now because of the intervention of the other three major races, this ruling method needs to be reformed. For any class of elves, the shock is no different from the complete subversion of the city of Gondo.

Regardless of whether the leaders of the high-level elves or the ordinary elves pay attention to the ideas of these low-level elves, they all seem very friendly and actively listen to the opinions of these low-level elves until the dust settles on the entire ruling method.

Compared with the high-level elves who have been at the top for too long, the ordinary elves obviously understand what the low-level elves need. Suddenly, the leaders of the ordinary elves and various high-level people went to the people and began to listen to the low-level elves in the fields. their demands.

Although such an approach is suspected of being a show, it is undeniable that the low-level elves who have never been taken seriously are quite fond of it. Therefore, from the very beginning, Borazan, who is the leader of ordinary elves, has been extremely popular. Great popularity, support rate is very high.

This situation obviously did not make the high-level elves think of it. Although they also began to listen to public opinion like ordinary elves, but after all, it was a bit of imitation, and the effect they received was not very good.

During this time when the elves were in the most chaotic period, neither humans, orcs, nor the dead had left the elves' kingdom. It would be unimaginable for the high-level officials of the three major races to stay in another country for such a long time in normal times. thing, but in

The three major races staying inside the elves are not only requested by the leaders of the two factions, but also serve as a township, but they are also a little careful. Every time they go out, they will be "guarded" by elf soldiers casually, but the three major races still see a lot of interesting things that they are interested in.

Moreover, when the elves continue to discuss and elect this mode of power, the three major races have already been thinking about how to have a mutually beneficial cooperation with the future ruling leader.

And during this period of time, Mo Ran would inevitably meet Ming Yuechen frequently, and the dead would naturally also often encounter human beings, probably because fights cannot happen on other people's territory, so both sides were very restrained. There was no verbal conflict, but a strange harmony appeared.

Time passed quickly. Within a month, the elves gradually became orderly from a chaotic state. Although the governing methods at the top had changed, for the elves at the bottom, this was the same as theirs. There is no difference in life, and even more low-level elves have begun to wait and see, wanting to see if there is any difference between this governing method and the original high priest's management method, and whether it will be of any benefit to them.

Perhaps these low-level elves also planned in their hearts. If these leaders did not bring them benefits, maybe they could jump out and fight with each other, or even overthrow them. After all, this incident has not happened before.

Of course, these things don't matter.

Before the leaders of the two parties compete for the final position, there is one more important thing for the elves. They have to go through a ceremony, which is to transform from the rule of theocracy to the rule of separation of political power and theocracy. Although this matter has actually been completed, as the elves who have believed in God since childhood, they need a ceremony to mark that this matter has been completed.

This ceremony is very simple to say, that is, the high priest steps down from her high priest's throne. The elf high priest usually holds two scepters in her hand, one represents divine power and the other represents political power. The scepter of power is placed on a gold plate under the throne, signifying that it has renounced

At first, everyone thought that this matter was very difficult to complete. After all, for Gruen, this was not only the deprivation of her own rights, but more importantly, it also represented the way of rule that had lasted for thousands of years. The hands collapsed. According to the common saying of flower growers, Gruen is like the last high priest. As long as she does this, how can she have the face to meet her ancestors?

Therefore, before going to see Gruen, both the high-level elves and the ordinary elves have prepared several lobbyists, trying to persuade Grune rationally and let her carry out this consciousness willingly.

Although, everyone knows that in this position, no one can really be willing, let alone Gruen.

But unexpectedly, when the high-level elves and ordinary elves mentioned this matter, Gruen agreed, and she didn't have any objection.

Ye Xiao stood at the door of Gu Luen's room and looked at her quietly. She looked at this female elf who had been a proud girl of heaven since she was a child, and was appointed to become a high priest when she grew up. She sat quietly in front of the window, bright and beautiful. The bright sunlight came in from the window and covered her body, coating her whole body with a thin layer of golden light, making her look like a sacred and inviolable statue.

Ye Xiao couldn't explore Gu Luen's inner thoughts, but she couldn't see anything from her face, and she didn't even show the slightest anger and unwillingness caused by being coerced, she was just as usual , but she is much more silent than before.

Although this luxurious and exquisite room has the most extravagant enjoyment, it has also become a golden cage to imprison Gruen, preventing her from leaving at all.

"The imperial maid..." Gu Luen probably felt that Ye Xiao was looking at her all the time, she turned her head to look at Ye Xiao, but she paused as soon as she opened her mouth, and then she showed a sorry expression on her face, she didn't panic Changed his words without haste: "Sorry, I'm used to addressing you like that, Duke Lingxiao, do you have anything else to do?"

Under Gu Luen's golden eyes, Ye Xiao had an urge to escape. Under her golden eyes, Ye Xiao felt that everything he had done was inescapable. Being laid under the sun, this feeling made her almost suffocate, she quickly lowered her head, her guilty conscience caused her voice to become soft and fluttering

Gu Luen didn't say anything else, but nodded slightly to Ye Xiao, expressing that he had fully understood the meaning of her coming and would attend accurately.

"Okay, then please have a good rest, High Priest." Ye Xiao kept her head down. Although her eyes were fixed on the exquisite patterns carved on the floor, she could still feel the pain of Gu Luen. The torch-like eyes kept falling on her body, as if about to burn a transparent hole in her back.

Not even daring to say anything else, Ye Xiao hurriedly left Gu Luen's room.

It wasn't until the heavy and gorgeous door was closed that Ye Xiao felt like breathing again. She leaned against the door and let out a long breath, not even daring to recall the time that Guluen brought her in the room just now. almost suffocating pressure.

At this time, the chat channel of the high-ranking elves rang, asking her about the situation of Gruen.

"She agreed." Ye Xiao raised her hand and gently wiped off the thin sweat on her forehead. She took a deep breath, straightened up from the exquisitely carved door panel, and walked quickly towards the palace while talking. Walking outside, the speed was so fast, as if there was a ghost chasing her behind her.

Ye Xiao's answer seemed to surprise the other party, and they even asked the same question several times: "Do you agree?"

"So fast!"

"It's been more than ten minutes since you entered her room. Isn't this time enough for you to finish the ceremony? She agreed?"

Ye Xiao felt a kind of boredom from the bottom of her heart for their one after another question, but she didn't get angry, and even responded calmly: "Yes, she agreed as soon as I mentioned it, and she didn't even ask Why, I agreed directly.

"This is really strange. She was very opposed to the joint governance and the separation of political power and theocracy. How long has it been since she completely compromised?" The speaker was a high-ranking elf, He was also a veteran aristocrat, and there was some frivolity in his tone, which made Ye Xiao feel extremely uncomfortable.

"She already knows what the final result will be, so why struggle? Anyway, it's not good for her to oppose or struggle." Some people said so.

"But I feel that something is missing." Someone laughed

…

Now that the biggest contradiction has been resolved, the nobles inevitably began to make fun of all kinds. Originally, they would never dare to point fingers at the high priest, but now when the divine power has completely collapsed, they are like maggots. Jumped out and started making jokes about Gruen.

Ye Xiao only felt disgusted for a while. Although she supported the coalition government, it didn't mean she had the same views as these. In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she still respected the high priest very much.

In the midst of such teasing, Ye Xiao suddenly realized that Gu Luen hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end. She was a little surprised, he was clearly there, and he was not blocked, but he seemed to be dead. He didn't say a word, as if he was standing in a corner quietly watching a group of clowns show their ignorance.

I don't know if it happened in the dungeon. Although Gruen is more like a puppet after becoming the leader of the high-level elves, Ye Xiao still has a deep awe of this Gruen's substitute, and she can do it a hundred times. It is 100% sure that this kind of awe does not come from the continuation of her awe of the high priest, but her fear of Grun himself.

There are some things that can't be considered in detail, as if just thinking about it, a deep fear will crawl out of her heart, open her **** mouth and swallow her directly.

Ye Xiao closed these idle dialog boxes, walked quickly outside the temple, and let the sun shine down from the top of her head. The warm sun was like the most angry pill, directly dispelling all the coldness and pressure on her body. was expelled.

Raising her head and looking at the bright sunshine, Ye Xiao took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She was looking forward to it from the bottom of her heart...

Nothing should go wrong.

As the most grand ceremony of the elves, it can be said to be the first time since the beginning of the world, so its excitement is even more grand than the change of the high priest.

The huge square of the temple had already been decorated.

With the huge tapered platform in the middle of the square as the center, purple carpets are spread on all sides. This color is known as the most noble color among the elves. It is said that the hair of the high priest of the elves is this color.

On the front of the conical platform sits the ordinary

In addition to these people who can sit, there are many elves watching the ceremony. They may be ordinary high-level elves, or ordinary elves, and of course there are players from the other three races. After the arrangement, it became bustling and crowded, full of people's voices, as if a bowl of water could not be poured out, and it felt no different from going to the vegetable market.

Mo Ran sat in her seat, with Ming Yuechen and Sang on both sides of her.

To be honest, such a ceremony is not only very new to the elves, but also very new to the other three races.

In particular, Sang has been observing all the decorations on the square since he was seated, and when the music started to play, he showed an unprecedented concentration. While listening to the melodious sound with his head sideways, he The fingers placed on the table were still tapping lightly, and it could be seen that they were very addicted to it.

Compared with Sang's obsession, Mo Ran actually cared more about another matter. She turned her head to look at Ming Yuechen and asked, "Do you think the first leader is a high-level elf or an ordinary elf?"

"Ordinary elves." Ming Yuechen was still squinting at the lengthy entrance ceremony of the elves, but when he heard Mo Ran's words, he immediately turned his head in her direction and lost all his attention. It fell on Mo Ran.

"Why?" Mo Ran frowned slightly.

"This kind of election model that imitates the beautiful country is naturally related to the performance level of each party. The party with good acting skills will be easy to get on stage, and the party who is not good at acting, or who is too lazy to perform will have little chance." Ming Yuechen from As soon as she heard about the regime reform model of elves, she already understood what Mo Ran meant. Rather than dividing up rights, she wanted to leave a way for Gu Luen.

Even if you have already thought in your heart that as long as Mo Ran can live happily and well in this life, it is fine even if you can't be with her, but there is still a big difference between people's thinking and actual situation .

Especially Ming Yuechen, he told himself that he only wanted Mo Ran to be happy in this life, but he still couldn't control himself and began to feel sour, especially when he found out that Mo Ran was happy.

But he dared not let Mo Ran around him see this kind of emotion.

While suppressing the unpleasant sourness in his heart, he looked in the direction of Grun.

All I saw was that Gruen was wearing the most traditional clothing of the elves and nobles. The purple gown set off his cool and nobility, and his whole person showed a kind of ascetic beauty.

Ming Yuechen looked at Mo Ran's eyes on Gu Luen from the corner of his eye, almost gritted his back teeth, tried hard to control his sourness and said slowly: "However, even if an ordinary elf is the leader, there is no such thing as What, anyway, it can be rotated once every four years, and the high-level elves can win more hearts in these four years."

Mo Ran looked at Gu Luen quietly. He was different now from when he was in the dungeon, not only in appearance, but also in the way he felt.

Now he has completely lost the softness he had when he was Gruen's stand-in, his shaved eyebrows have returned to their original thickness, and his long purple hair has also been tied into a hairstyle unique to nobles, with purple orbs on it. Shining, with a kind of indistinguishable beauty on his face, he sat there with his back straight, like a gorgeous statue.

The high-level elves around him were all wearing purple gowns of the same color, but it was strange that Gruen could wear a sense of alienation like a lotus, even though he was sitting in the middle of a group of high-level elves. It can give people a sense of being out of place.

It seemed that wherever he was, the light was shining, making people unconsciously focus all their attention on him.

In fact, Mo Ran knew that Gruen's situation is not very good now. Although he seems to be sitting in the position of the leader of the high-level elves, he has no power. The previous high priest was with him and paved all the roads early. He was unknown a month ago, and he appeared in front of the high-level elves as if he jumped out of a stone.

If it weren't for the fact that the nobles were unwilling to be the leader of their opponents, and if it wasn't for the fact that the families of the high-level elves needed to restrain each other, it is estimated that Gruen would not be like this.

Mo Ran didn't know Gu Luen's current mood and thoughts. After walking out of the dungeon, Mo Ran and Gu Luen had no contact again. After Gu Luen used the power of the dead to ascend to the leader of the high-level elves After that, the little remaining friendship between them disappeared, no matter whether Mo Ran was willing or not, what was left between them was pure interest.

Although it was sad to think about it, Mo Ran soon felt relieved, probably life is like this, and growth is like this.

Of course, whether it is out of racial interests or selfishness, Mo Ran very much hopes that Gu Luen will become the leader of the elves this time. Opportunity to accumulate one's own influence, to be the original capital in the power war.

But it seems difficult, don't look at Mo Ran asked Ming Yuechen, in fact, even if Ming Yuechen didn't ask, she knew from the current approval rate that it would be very difficult for Gu Luen to be elected in this election.

But this kind of worry only existed in the depths of Mo Ran's heart, she didn't show the slightest bit, maybe it was because she was in an inappropriate position to worry about this, or maybe it was because she was no longer suitable to intervene in this issue.

From the moment Gruen decided not to be Gruen's substitute, he was no longer the wanderer who had nothing to do and was indifferent to fame and fortune. No matter what he thought in his heart, he had already been involved in this vortex of power In the middle, walking on this road will not be with others. If Gu Luen does not want to be swallowed by this vortex of power, then all he can do is to find a way to struggle out.

Mo Ran looked at Gu Luen quietly, Gu Luen seemed to sense her gaze, and looked towards her, something seemed to flash in his golden eyes, of course there may be nothing but Mo Ran himself misread Yes, after looking at each other briefly for two or three seconds, Gu Luen bowed slightly and nodded towards Mo Ran.

That extremely polite and alienated nod.

And Mo Ran responded with the same polite smile, and then looked away.

That's it, Gu Luen, I wish you all the best in the future.

"Boom"!

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a heavy drum sound from the temple, which meant that this grand ceremony was about to begin, and it was still in the messy square

Amidst the sound of drums and music, only two rows of elves in long purple dresses were seen coming out of the temple with various ritual vessels in their hands.
