For a moment, the meeting room fell into dead silence.
"You can't be that stupid, right?!"
At this time, White Yaksha looked at Mandela with disbelief. Although she vaguely guessed it, she didn't expect the truth to be like this!
"…"
Facing White Yaksha's question, Mandela clenched his fists, and his body trembled. He glared at Fangzheng and gritted his teeth. The latter only narrowed his eyes and looked at him with contempt.
"What? You don't like it? You want to silence me? You can try. Let's see who will die on the ground next. "
"Brother!"
But at this moment, Shadora dashed to Mandela and glared at him.
"Is what Mr. Fangzheng said true? You really lured the demon king here?! "
"…"
Facing Shadora's question, Mandela opened his mouth, but in the end, he lowered his head and did not say a word.
"Why? Why did you do this?!"
"It's simple. They don't believe you, just like everyone else."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"A little girl inheriting the leadership, and she has never performed before. Under such circumstances, Salamander would easily be in trouble, so they simply put on a monkey show to show the strength of the new leader to deter potential threats. It's not that I don't understand your thoughts, but you've been keeping Shadora in the dark … Haha, who's the leader? "
"Shut up! What do you know! "
Hearing this, Mandela clenched his fists and roared at Fangzheng.
"You're from outside the Box Court, so how would you know …! Protect the flag of the Community! Title! The meaning of reputation! Betrayed by a powerful heir, and the leader is sick in bed! In order to support the Community that is about to decline, we have to gamble with our lives! How could a guy from outside the Box Court know all this?! "
"Ah, you're telling the truth."
Fangzheng whistled.
"See, you said it yourself, the Community that is about to decline … Hahaha, in other words, you don't believe that Shadora can lead 'Salamander' well, do you?"
"…!"
At this moment, Mandela came back to his senses. He instinctively turned to Shadora, whose eyes were already bloodshot.
"So … you're the same, big bro. Everyone's the same … you don't think highly of me, so why should I be the leader?"
"No, Shadora, it's not what you think. Actually …"
Mandela hurriedly wanted to say something, but Shadora lowered her head and waved her hand abruptly.
"Get out! I don't want to see you! "
"…"
Facing Shadora's order, Mandela pondered in silence. Then, he lowered his head and left the meeting room like an exhausted old man. Seeing him turn around and leave, White Yaksha shook his head and looked at Fangzheng.
"Aren't you a little too much?"
"I hate seeing this kind of thing the most."
Fangzheng snorted coldly.
"He says he's doing it for your own good, but he doesn't tell you anything, especially now. It's fine if it's just a joke, but the entire Community is gambling with their future and reputation, and Shadora, as the leader, doesn't know anything about it? Let me tell you, if this kind of thing happened in my Community, I'd be questioning my life on the spot. "
"…"
Faced with Fangzheng's ridicule, White Yaksha was speechless. Indeed, no matter which Community this kind of thing happened, it was enough to make the leader feel discouraged. It was not impossible for the leader to just quit.
"But what should we do now? You have to think of a way! "
Seeing Shadora curling up in a corner, White Yaksha did not know what to do. He could only let Fangzheng think of a way. Fangzheng snapped his fingers.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
While saying that, Fangzheng walked up to Shadora and patted her head.
"Okay, little girl, cheer up!"
"… Mr. Fangzheng?"
After being patted by Fangzheng, Shadora, who was gradually falling into isolation, raised her head and looked at him in confusion.
"What's there to be isolated about? Isn't this a matter of course? Look at your current age. You're only eleven or twelve years old, and Salamander is the ruler of the North. No one would think that you can manage this Community well. "
"Ugh …"
Shandora bit her lips again when she heard that.
"But there are still people who trust you. I remember that you were able to get to this position because the former leader appointed you, right? He's your father, right? If he didn't trust you, he wouldn't have let you be the leader. "
"Father … But the others …"
"I haven't known you for long, so I can't say much. But since your father chose you, he must have seen something in you that can lead Salamander out of this predicament. It's normal that the others don't trust you. After all, they're not your father, so they can't understand you as well as your father does. What you have to do now is to prove your strength to them. Trust is mutual. One side has to show his ability first to gain the followers of his subordinates. This is also the obligation of a leader. Do you understand? "
"I … I understand!"
Shadora reached out to wipe away the tears in her eyes. She looked at Fangzheng and nodded hard.
"Can … can I trouble you to keep this matter a secret, Lord Fangzheng? That … I'm willing to pay … "
Shadora's voice became softer and softer, but she had to do it. After all, the rulers of the social classes were supposed to protect the lower classes from the demon king, but Salamander, as the ruler of the northern social classes, actually took the initiative to lure the demon king to attack. If this matter got out, Salamander's reputation would definitely be ruined.
"Thousand Eyes" might have predicted this, but he did not intend to expose it. After all, as the rulers of the social classes, it was not appropriate for them to do such a thing. But Fangzheng was different. The Tendo Temple was currently just an ordinary lower class community. The life and death of the rulers of the social classes meant nothing to them. If Fangzheng spread this matter, Salamander would really be finished.
"That depends on what conditions you offer. This is one of the problems you have to face as the leader of the community."
Fangzheng snapped his fingers.
"But for now, let's discuss how to deal with the demon king."
"You're right."
White Yaksha hurriedly changed the topic.
"But if you have that book, you should be able to easily investigate information about the demon king, right?"
"More or less, but the demon king itself isn't the problem. The problem lies in other things."
While saying that, Fangzheng looked at White Yaksha.
"First is the operation of this ceremony. Look, since 'Thousand Eyes' has already predicted the inside story of this matter, why did he still send White Yaksha here?"
"Huh?"
"This …"
Hearing Fangzheng's question, both White Yaksha and Shadora were stunned. They frowned and thought about it. After a while, Shadora's eyes lit up.
"Could it be that we failed?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng nodded.
"I suspect that 'Thousand Eyes' might have predicted the outcome of 'Salamander' luring the demon king here and then being killed by the demon king. That's why they chose to use this awkward method to let White Yaksha join. After all, from Mandela's actions, they have always hoped to make Shadora famous. In this case, they definitely wouldn't want the rulers of other regions to come here and become famous together. Especially since the White Yaksha is known as the strongest Ruler of the Hierarchy, it might be like what Mandela is worried about. When the Demon King attacks, the White Yaksha will slap him away, and Shadora will be in an awkward situation. "
"Ahahahaha …"
Hearing this, Shadora and White Yaksha smiled bitterly.
"So I suspect that according to the prophecy, Salamander will host this ceremony himself. Then, the demon king will arrive and everything will fail. 'Thousand Eyes' obviously wouldn't want to see this happen, but considering the current situation of 'Salamander', it wouldn't be good for them to say too much to avoid arousing suspicion. So, they might as well use this method to host a ceremony together. It can be considered as an additional insurance."
"I see."
At this moment, White Yaksha nodded.
"I was wondering why the right to host the ceremony was given to me in the eastern region. No matter how I look at it, it seems strange. So there's this layer of relationship … But don't worry!"
Saying this, White Yaksha patted her chest.
"No matter what, I'm still the strongest ruler of the hierarchy. I will definitely protect you!"
"That's hard to say."
However, at this moment, Fangzheng poured a bucket of cold water on her again.
"The news of the Fire Dragon Birth Ceremony in the eastern and eastern regions has been spreading for several months. As long as the demon king isn't deaf or blind, he must have known that you would participate, White Yaksha. And under this situation, if he still dares to attack, it means that he has definitely prepared a way to deal with you. "
"You're right."
White Yaksha nodded again and stretched out her hand. Soon, a glowing piece of parchment appeared in her hand.
"But as a counter, I also have some countermeasures. Take a look."
"Oh?"
Fangzheng took the parchment and read the contents.
[Fire Dragon Birth Ceremony]
[Various matters during the ceremony]
[1: Normal participants are prohibited from holding the Game of Blessing in the stage area and the free area]
[2: Without the permission of the ceremony host, participants with the 'Host Authority' are prohibited from entering the ceremony area]
[3: Participants are prohibited from using the 'Host Authority' in the ceremony area]
[4: Participants are prohibited from using the 'Host Authority' in the ceremony area]
[Oath: Respect the above contents and hold the Game of Blessing in the name of the glory, flag and the Host Authority]
[Thousand Eyes]
[Salamander]
"Looks like it's quite comprehensive."
Fangzheng read it carefully and nodded.
"There's no special problem. Under these circumstances, even if the demon king comes, he won't be able to invade … At least in theory."
"If there's an unexpected situation …"
"Then leave it to me."
Fangzheng chuckled and kept the parchment.
"After all, I also want to see what the demon king is capable of."
