Chapter 482 Chapter 480 · “Do you regret it?”

 “Hiss…be gentle.” Noel showed a rare expression of pain. It seemed that this thread had done him a lot of harm.

Su Ming'an helped him untie the silk thread as carefully as possible. It was no different from untying the rice dumplings.

During this period, people on the ground were still kneeling and neatly arranged.

As for Edward, he ran very quickly. The moment he saw Michael kneeling, Edward immediately crushed the props and ran away.

According to Michael, these people are willing to support Su Mingan to become the next patriarch.

 There were five elders in the first tribe, and Michael was one of them.

The other four elders are the eldest elder Fengle Zewan who is from the inheritance family, the second elder Tuyuan who is responsible for sacrifices, the third elder Guangli who is responsible for teaching young children, and the fourth elder Zhouqi who is responsible for communicating with the outside world.

 After listening to Michael's words, Su Mingan realized that his chances of winning were really not high.

Of the five elders, only one fifth elder, Michael, is on his side now. This was just snatched from Edward's hands.

"—I have no intention of competing for the position of clan leader." Su Mingan said bluntly: "The chief and I are good friends. I think that as the inheritor of the family, it will be much better for him to ascend to the throne than me, an outsider."

After hearing this, Michael and others showed shock on their faces.

From their point of view, the leader of this first tribe can control the entire dome, which is almost the same position as the Lord of the World. How could anyone be unwilling to be the leader?

"Michael, you can continue to maintain the original status." Su Mingan said: "When the succession ceremony is over, I will leave the first tribe. I will not stay here for a long time and will not be a qualified tribe leader."

Michael looked at him with complicated eyes.

"The Lord God is on your shoulders." He said, "It's not up to you whether you want to do this or not."

Su Mingan frowned, he knew things would turn out like this...

 It's like, if an ancient lord without children dies, his cronies will support his adopted son as the next lord. But once the lord's biological son is found, the cronies will definitely choose the biological son over the adopted son. No matter how outstanding the adopted son is, he is no exception.

The raven stood on Su Ming'an's shoulder, which meant that he was equivalent to a person recognized by the Baishen. Even if the chief had been a candidate in Qiongdi for more than 20 years, he had now lost his legitimacy in an instant.

 “Then let’s argue first.” Noel suddenly said: “Whether it’s better to argue is another matter.”

　　　…”

Su Mingan is mainly afraid of facing the chief, but the chief should not kill him immediately upon meeting him. After all, the favorability level is still full.

Obtaining the position of clan leader is not without its benefits. Maybe it can also mobilize the power of the clan to surround and kill competitors like Edward.

His main mission is to obtain the three powers. Now he has the black lamb, but he still needs the black python in the hands of the chief seal and the black crow who doesn't know where he is.

But how should he get the authority of the black python that has been obtained by the chief? Are you hoping that Chief Feng will take the initiative to sell it and talk to him about the lighthouse? Or try to kill the opponent and see if the black python authority will fall?

"I will arrange everything." Michael said immediately: "I know you are a stranger and don't know much about the situation of the first tribe. It doesn't matter. I will call you when I need to come forward."

Su Mingan was silent for a moment: "Okay."

Before leaving, Michael suddenly smiled warmly at him and Noel.

“Then.” Michael said softly, “I wish you happiness.”

 “Bang!” The door closed.

The room was silent.

"Ah." Noel looked at the closed door: "He should mean that the sacrificial saint and you, the candidate patriarch, can develop a relationship. But this has nothing to do with us."

He said and quickly changed the topic:

"I just gave Siboer the tools to suppress the curse. She should wake up after a while - what are you going to do next?"

 “Go to the chief first.” Su Mingan said. This is the most critical thing, and he needs to make it clear to Chief Feng first.

 He ​​glanced at the raven on his shoulder. The thing was still as motionless as a lump of shit.

 He ​​and Noel discussed it, and Noel decided to maintain the identity of the sacrificial saint, because Noel's task is to ensure the smooth completion of the succession ceremony, which requires the appearance of the saint.

 So, congratulations to Noel, he will continue to dress up as a woman for a few more days.

"That's right." At the end of the conversation, Noel suddenly said, "Where's Lu Shu?"

"He's gone. He went to find the soul stone." Su Ming'an said.

"So, the soul stone is indeed quite precious, and he has some foresight." Noel said: "I thought he would keep dragging you until the end. But... wouldn't you lose contact completely in this way?"

“Originally, there will only be one winner in this game.” Su Mingan said: “He doesn’t have to succeed all the way to me.”

"Really?" Noel said, "Why do I think he is looking for the Soul Stone to give it to you?"

　　　…”

"But, it's still very strange." Noel narrowed his eyes: "I still don't understand Lu Shu's intention of following you. I understand Lin Yin, she came here for friends and bonds, Yamada Town Ichi It's the overly intense feelings of gratitude and samurai spirit that are causing the trouble. Even Iris, Mizushima Kawaharu and others are actively approaching you to seduce you for the sake of the 'overall situation' and personal gain. But... Lu Shu's words, frankly speaking, I don't trust him. The 'good guy' theory is untenable."

Su Mingan remembered the time when Lu Shu first came into contact with him.

He believed in Lu Shu because Lu Shu had died for him. That time, after the end of the fourth world, in the world of the Lord God, if he did not choose to turn back, Lu Shu would really be dead at that time and could not be resurrected.

 Otherwise, he would not have included Lu Shu as someone he trusted.

"—You have to be careful, Su Mingan." Noel suddenly said: "I found that now, there are more and more special identities in world games, and the relationship between players and NPCs is becoming less and less clear. NPCs can become players, and so can players. Become an NPC. So, I'm worried...maybe at the very beginning, there will be some traps in the game, transformed into players, placed around us, and hurt us at the most critical moment - he may use some of your The 'special point' gives you the illusion that you trust him."

Su Mingan understood Noel's cryptic words again.

 “I’ll make my own judgment,” he said.

 He left and closed the door.

 While walking upstairs, his expression remained calm, showing no signs of thinking or confusion.

 Noel’s words were obviously intentional and meant to be told to the whole world.

 Because neither he nor Noel made a gesture to pause the live broadcast during this period, Noel's words have been heard by hundreds of millions of people watching the live broadcast.

Whether Noel’s words are a reminder, a provocation, an ulterior motive, or pure concern, Su Mingan will make his own judgment.

Noel’s words will affect him, but they will not interfere with his decision.

 Afterwards, he went to the room on the top floor to find the chief, but found that the chief had not returned yet.

He had no choice but to go back to his room first and saw Sibor sleeping soundly on the bed.

 Noel’s arrangements were very careful. He had previously ordered the maid to bathe Sibor and change her clothes. Now Siboer is no longer the dirty and huddled look covered in red robe.

  She was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly under the quilt. The white hair is scattered like mercury on the bright red pillow. The eyelashes are very long, slightly curled, and glow with a transparent color under the light. The black curse mark on her face has gradually faded away.

 While asleep, she looked peaceful. No longer like an extremely vigilant wild wolf.

 The number of props to suppress curses is limited, and people will be repulsive to them, so they cannot be used all the time. If this happens again to Siboer, even the First Tribe will be powerless.

Su Mingan only stood there for a while before Michael came to find him and took him to the Fourth Elder Zhou Qi.

 The fourth elder is a kind old man. He expressed his willingness to help Su Ming'an.

Su Mingan deliberately tested the fourth elder's favorability and found that the other's favorability had reached 50. Without the favorability bonus of being a person in power, the Fourth Elder would not necessarily be on his side. This time, it was the person in power who brought him benefits.

The fourth elder told him to be careful with the first elder and the second elder. They were loyal supporters of the chief. If Su Mingan left the first tribe at will, the first elder and the second elder might directly get rid of him.

 The fourth elder planned to publicize Su Ming'an's identity first, so that the people would know about Raven's appearance. When the time is right, let Su Mingan climb to the top of the city and show off the raven. They will have the support of the people and everything will fall into place.

 Before that, Su Mingan still needs to wait for about a day.

Su Mingan returned to the stone house, and the time was gradually reaching the afternoon.

At this moment, someone knocked on his door. It was none other than the Third Elder Guangri.

Guangli is a gentle middle-aged woman, and Teacher Fang is her goddaughter. After learning about Teacher Fang’s impression of Su Mingan, Guangli expressed that she could join Su Mingan’s side.

Su Mingan was extremely surprised when he heard Guangli's surrender. After all, he thought everyone would obey Feng Zhang, but he didn't expect that Guangli, who had a neutral attitude, would all choose to join him.

The party that created the chief was obviously powerful, and the chief himself had the authority of the black python, and had been groomed as an heir since childhood. Su Mingan was just a foreigner, but he suddenly gained the approval of three elders.

 Obviously, there should be no chance of winning on his side. His only bargaining chip is the raven, and the authority of the Black Lamb has not yet been demonstrated by him.

After Guangli left, Su Mingan stood at the door thinking, but suddenly saw a man wrapped in a black robe walking over.

 “You are…” Su Mingan said.

“I am Tu Yuan.” The man spoke in a hoarse voice. He took off his black robe, revealing an old face.

 …The second elder, Tu Yuan. Supporter of the Chief.

Su Mingan immediately became vigilant. He was not sure whether the other party would take action here. After all, Tu Yuan believed in the Bai God and not the raven. If Tu Yuan thinks that an outsider is not worthy of becoming the clan leader and wants to kill him and let Raven choose again, that is possible.

At this moment, he looked at Tu Yuan and suddenly bowed.

“Outsiders. Can I... join your side?” Tu Yuan said.

Su Mingan was shocked.

 …The feudal chief is so unpopular?

 The situation of the feudal chief is comparable to gin. The five elders who had been with him for more than twenty years fell outside one after another.

"I control the power of the first tribe's priests. If I choose you, Chief Zewan will no longer have the chance to succeed." Tu Yuan specifically emphasized his importance.

 Obviously, once Su Mingan obtains his support, it will basically be a final decision.

"what do you want?"

"And my only request is..." Tu Yuan said, looking at Xi Boer who was sleeping quietly in the room.

He stretched out his skinny hand and pointed at the dreaming girl:

“—Please let Lord Raven kill Sissi Zevan, the only believer in God Nine.”

 “She deserves to die.”

 …

 …

【"Do you regret it?" the delusional man asked him: "Regret saving a curse-ridden heretic?"]

　　　He carried her behind his back and said nothing. 】

　　【"Stop saving us." She said, "We are monsters. Stop saving monsters."】

　　　【He walked, walked. 】

  【She disappeared. 】
