The 5th Elder said with a gloomy expression, "That's right, the tribe's interests are above everything else. There is clear evidence that all of this happened because of the appearance of these outsiders. The tribe's hunting team is very secretive. Apart from the people of the tribe, no one knows the strength and destination of the hunting team. The only ones who can do this are these outsiders!"
The 3rd Elder looked around with a cold expression. "For the tribe, we have to nip the danger in the bud. These outsiders have to be dealt with. They definitely have a big plot to topple the tribe. We have to interrogate them, find out their origins, and find out what they are plotting. Otherwise, our tribe and everyone here will be in danger."
More than half of the Deacons shouted in agreement after hearing the 3rd Elder's words. Some of the more extreme ones even shouted to immediately kill them.
Elsa had a worried expression. She wasn't worried for Lin Yun, but rather for the tribe.
She looked around and saw that everyone had the same attitude. Even the 2nd Elder's expression wasn't good. These people had already been devoured by fear. Merlin had never left his residence since entering the tribe, so how could he leak the tribe's secrets? He simply couldn't know.
These people hadn't seen how frightening Merlin was, so they wouldn't believe it. Although Merlin was only a peak 9th Rank High Mage, even I can't estimate how powerful Merlin was. I've never seen Merlin in despair. He always had a way to deal with anything.
Although the tribe wasn't weak, the Great Elder had entered the Lightless Dreamland, and most of the remaining people wouldn't even have the ability to escape from the Orachiss. But Merlin could forcibly pass through the Orachiss' Ash Cage.
Even if the Great Elder hadn't fallen asleep, he definitely wouldn't have been able to stop Merlin. These people all knew how frightening Duncan was, but they didn't know that Duncan was as powerful as the Great Elder, or even more powerful. But even so, Merlin still managed to escape.
The number of people in the clan who could resist Curio's attack could be counted on one hand, but Curio was still killed by Merlin.
These people would never understand how terrifying Merlin was …
They still didn't know that Merlin was a powerful Artisan and even understood the Elven Elegy passed down by the Dark Elves. It was even more powerful than the Elven Elegy passed down by the Tribe. He could even forcibly sacrifice a Dark Elf to trigger the power of nature.
They wouldn't believe me even if I told them. Even the Fourth Elder, who was closest to me, thought I was joking when I told her about this …
Not to mention, Merlin had a few powerful companions, including a level-38 Frost Dragon. Everyone in the race knew how powerful Frost Dragons were.
A monstrous but powerful puppet with casting ability even more powerful than Dark Elves, able to instantly cast spells like a flood, and that monstrous Magic Tool Incarnation with a powerful True Spirit Magic Tool, as well as that strange Draconic Beastman whose body could resist most spells …
But they weren't as powerful as Merlin, especially when I went to see him yesterday. Merlin's aura had become even more stable, and his mana fluctuations were like the feeling of the Wisdom Tree, vast and boundless …
Just standing in front of Merlin made them feel powerless, as if they were facing a wise Demon God. These people had never seen those eyes, they seemed to contain boundless wisdom. He clearly hadn't advanced to the Archmage realm, but he already gave me the feeling of facing the Great Elder …
'These people won't believe me, no good, I can't let these people do such a stupid thing. I absolutely can't clash with Merlin, they won't understand. If we do as the 3rd Elder says, the entire Dark Elven Clan will be buried!'
Elsa looked at the angry Elders and Deacons and felt powerless. She simply couldn't convince these people.
She looked around, and apart from the 4th Elder, who hadn't expressed his opinion, and the 2nd Elder had a worried expression, everyone else agreed with the 3rd Elder's opinion.
She had only heard from the 4th Elder that the 3rd Elder had a lot of power in the Elder Council and that he had a very good relationship with the Great Elder, but she hadn't expected it to be to that extent.
The 2nd Elder was also a good person. He usually handled the trifling matters of the tribe, but when it came to making a decision, he didn't have his own opinion. It was impossible to convince the 2nd Elder, as the 2nd Elder wouldn't believe that Merlin was so powerful.
The 4th Elder stood up and kept debating with the 5th Elder, completely disagreeing with the 3rd Elder's opinion. But he was powerless to resist being besieged by a group of people.
Elsa clenched her teeth and suddenly stood up. She looked around and said, "I absolutely don't agree with you using force on Merlin. Let me tell you, Merlin is the one in the clan's prophecy, he is the one who can lift the ten thousand year curse of our Dark Elven Clan!"
Elsa's words made the noisy clan quiet down, but after a few seconds of pause, the group immediately started questioning Elsa's words, asking her for proof and an explanation.
But how could Elsa be 100% sure? Moreover, prophecy was something that few people dared to believe after so many years.
Or rather, no one believed that Merlin was the one in the prophecy.
Seeing that the 2nd Elder was already leaning towards the 3rd Elder and was about to agree with the 3rd Elder, the 4th Elder suddenly sat down and sneered as he looked around before looking at the 2nd Elder.
"2nd Elder, this is all because of the 3rd Elder's personal grudges. Moreover, we don't have any proof that Merlin would harm our clan. Moreover, if Merlin is really the one in the prophecy, you would be offending him and making our Dark Elven Clan's curse unable to be lifted for all eternity. Who would take responsibility for this sin?"
The Third Elder sneered, "I only believe what I see with my own eyes. The tribe is now facing an unprecedented crisis, and these outsiders are the biggest suspects. I have to get rid of them. In order to protect the tribe, I can take responsibility for all the crimes!" The Third Elder sneered.
The 4th Elder and the 3rd Elder were opposing each other with equal harshness. Seeing that they were about to start fighting, the 2nd Elder bitterly smiled and waved his hand.
"Alright, don't quarrel. Those outsiders are indeed the biggest suspects, we can't ignore them. "But since Elsa mentioned the prophecy, we can't be too excessive." Let's capture them first, and after investigating clearly, if it isn't a conspiracy of these outsiders, I'll throw away my old face and personally apologize … "
The 2nd Elder expressed his position, but he was trying to smooth things over, making both sides take a step back. The 3rd Elder expressionlessly sat down, and the other Deacons also expressed their approval.
The 5th Elder, who was completely following the 3rd Elder, even crossed his arms and sneered as he looked at Elsa. He clearly didn't have any good ideas.
This time, Elsa's expression thoroughly changed.
Of the four Elders present, three had agreed, and more than 70% of the Deacons had agreed. There was no way to change this decision, unless the Great Elder appeared. However, the Great Elder had no way of appearing at the moment ….
'It's over …'
'It's completely over … This time, they thoroughly offended Merlin. If they went to capture Merlin, something big would definitely happen …'
'If there was a huge conflict, the tribe would suffer heavy losses before the danger outside arrived.'
After the meeting ended, Elsa took the lead and rushed to Merlin's hut as fast as she could.
"Merlin, hurry, hurry up and leave with me!"
Elsa even forgot the most basic etiquette and rushed into Lin Yun's room with a panicked expression. She incoherently wanted to tell Lin Yun to hurry up and leave.
Lin Yun frowned and calmly closed the Book of Mantras before raising his head to look at the anxious Elsa.
"What's wrong?"
Elsa anxiously stamped her foot.
"Hurry up and follow me, the 3rd Elder's group is coming to capture you. They said that you are plotting against the Dark Elves, and even the 2nd Elder agreed. I can see that the 3rd Elder definitely won't be able to control you so easily. Hurry up, they will be here soon."
Lin Yun waved his hand, calmly appeasing the anxious Elsa.
"It's fine, don't worry, rest assured, the sky hasn't collapsed yet."
Elsa's eyes almost popped out, she was anxiously pacing back and forth.
"Don't worry, Merlin, hurry up and escape, they are coming soon, I don't have time to explain in detail …"
'It's over, it's over, Merlin isn't worried at all. Once the 3rd Elder arrives, they will definitely fight. If they fight, it will be very troublesome …'
Elsa was burning with anxiety, but before she could persuade him, a loud shout echoed from outside the hut.
"Surround them! Don't let these scheming outsiders escape! "
Elsa's expression greatly changed, despair already appearing on her face. 'This is really troublesome …'
Lin Yun calmly walked out of the wooden house. Several hundred Dark Elven Elites had already appeared outside the wooden house, and a large number of Dark Elves had thoroughly surrounded this place. And at the front of the group, the 3rd Elder walked out with a serious expression.
Seeing Lin Yun, the 3rd Elder immediately questioned him in a righteous voice.
"Outsider, from the moment you appeared, there have been a large number of casualties in the tribe. This time, our hunting team disappeared without a trace. All of this is closely related to you. Originally, according to the rules of the tribe, you should be burned at the stake. But now, I will give you a chance. Tell me your conspiracy, and I can make the decision to only destroy your magic power, but spare your life."
In the back, Jers was viciously looking at Lin Yun.
"Outsider, I've long seen through your scheme. Last time, I was despicably sneak attacked by you. This time, I want to see how you're going to sneak attack me in front of so many people. If you don't tell me what your scheme is today, just wait to be burned alive!"
Lin Yun glanced at the 3rd Elder and Jers.
"Haha …"
