There was finally a glimmer of hope in this kind of situation. Even the ordinary clansmen were willing to grab onto this last life-saving straw. Now, whoever dared to touch this outsider would not only be expelled, but the best outcome would be to be burned to ashes in the flames …
'I can't touch that person for the time being, I absolutely can't touch him …'
The 3rd Elder clenched his fists, gritting his teeth in hatred. He wished he could skin Lin Yun alive and torture him to death, but he didn't dare to make a move at this time.
But Jers had already lost his mind due to anger and simply couldn't listen. He was still convinced that his last defeat was only due to carelessness and a sneak attack.
"Father, that damned outsider is definitely a spy. The information he knows is definitely from that slut Elsa. Our clan hasn't been able to find the Life Pattern Crystal's Incarnation for so many years, how could an outsider like him find it? The God Nation is too big, and the environment is very complicated. Our clan has been unable to find it in a hundred years …
"He is an outsider, how could he find it so quickly? "I think he is definitely stalling for time. If he can't find it after twenty years, he will say that we haven't found it after a hundred years, so it's normal for him to be unable to find it.
"Once our clan suffers a disaster, he will be able to smoothly escape. We can't let Jeremy's revenge go unpunished!
Father, it's not like you didn't see how that damned outsider treated you. Besides, Uncle has entered a deep slumber in the Lightless Dreamland. If he wakes up and finds out about this, what will he think of you?
"An outsider that is only a 9th Rank High Mage, a shameful trash that only knows how to sneak attack, after injuring Jeremy, he actually swaggered into the Dark Elven Clan. And you, you let Jeremy's archenemy go and didn't avenge him!"
Jers lost control and started blaming his father.
The Third Elder shouted in a low voice, "Enough! What do you know? That outsider is not that simple. Not only can we not touch him, but he himself is also not simple. "
Jers froze for a moment before saying with disdain, "What's so special about him? He is only a 9th Rank High Mage. I saw with my own eyes that he was still looking at 1st Rank Spells and didn't even understand them. If I hadn't been careless and underestimated him, how could he have succeeded in his sneak attack …"
Jers was a bit dismissive of his father's cautiousness. 'Old people are too cautious. If you weren't so cautious, you wouldn't just be the Third Elder …'
However, Jers only dared to say this in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
The Third Elder's face was grave as he explained in a low voice.
"You are looking down on that outsider too much. Although he is only a 9th Rank High Mage, I saw him casting last time. His casting speed is a lot faster than an ordinary 9th Rank High Mage's. For a human to be able to instantly cast spells with such power, he can definitely compare to a 1st or 2nd Rank Archmage of the clan.
"Moreover, the few followers at his side aren't simple. I sent someone to investigate in secret, and that woman is actually a level 38 Frost Dragon. You should have heard about the power of Dragons in the clan. You definitely aren't that Frost Dragon's opponent. Moreover, that Beastman Sword Saint, the puppet, and that outsider's True Spirit Magic Tool are also very powerful …
This person must be a highly valued junior of a powerful force outside. He's definitely not simple. If we act rashly, there's a high chance that we won't be able to kill him, and we might even expose ourselves. At that time, it would be equivalent to betraying the tribe … "
Jers was in disbelief. "What? Dragon? That damned outsider actually has a Dragon at his side? Could it be that even Father has no way to kill them? No, we only need to kill that damned outsider! "
'Right, that's it, as long as we kill that repulsive outsider, he is called Merlin, right?
'Although his followers aren't weak, his own strength is very weak. As long as we kill him, his followers will naturally leave on their own. Killing Merlin would be too easy. Killing that Merlin is definitely very easy.'
A smile appeared on Jers' face.
"Father, that damned outsider is too weak, his followers can't always surround and protect him. As long as Father uses a High Tier Spell, we can eliminate that guy. As for his followers, it doesn't matter if they survive. As long as Merlin dies, his stalling method will become useless and the clan won't look into it."
The 3rd Elder shook his head.
"That won't do, if I personally make a move, I will naturally be able to kill that Merlin. Although he is a bit stronger than a High Mage of the same rank, he is at most comparable to a Dark Elf that has just advanced to the Archmage realm. But they are outside the clan and I can't leave. The higher-ups of the clan know that we have a conflict with that Merlin, so I can't leave. The 4th Elder is watching me every day, I don't have the opportunity to make a move …"
Jers blurted out, "Can't we let someone else make a move?"
The 3rd Elder shook his head. "That won't do, that outsider's followers aren't weak. There aren't many people in the clan that can kill them. Moreover, if they are too weak, the chances of success in a sneak attack on that Merlin aren't high …"
Jers' eyes turned as if he had thought of something.
'That damned outsider is clearly so weak, how could he have such a powerful follower? He even has a Dragon, but so what if he has a Dragon to protect him? He is weak, and when facing a powerful enemy, he would only be a burden. The Dragon wouldn't be able to guarantee his safety.
'Since the clan can't dispatch an expert to kill him, I'll look for someone from outside the clan. It seems that the Ash Beastmen came before, and if I borrow the power of the Ash Beastmen, I can definitely kill that damned outsider!'
"Father, didn't an emissary of the Ash Beastmen look for you before? He said that he wanted to join hands to deal with the Firerock Dwarves … "
The 3rd Elder's expression suddenly changed when he heard Jers' words.
"No, absolutely not! It's just dealing with an outsider, how could we look for the Ash Beastmen with the Abyssal Bloodline! Not to mention betraying the clan's interests! "
'Are those Ash Beastmen good to talk to? If they were sincere, they wouldn't have failed before. If I look for those Ash Beastmen now, wouldn't I be betraying the clan's interests?
'The clan has suffered many disasters in the past few years. If I betray the clan's interests, even if I can deal with the Firerock Dwarves, I'll definitely be weaker than the Ash Beastmen. At that time, my position will be unstable …'
The 3rd Elder didn't even think about it before rejecting Jers' proposal.
Jers was startled, but seeing that his father only refused and didn't berate him, he felt a bit more confident.
'Since father only refused, he didn't berate me, and he didn't mention the clan's laws, then this matter can be discussed.
'Since the people in the clan can't do anything, if that damned outsider meets the Ash Beastmen outside the clan and is killed, no one will be able to implicate us.
'Moreover, that outsider is so weak. If he happens to meet the Ash Beastmen and gets killed, it would be normal …'
"Father, how could this be considered betraying the clan's interests?"
Jers asked in a righteous manner. He didn't wait for his father to speak before continuing his explanation.
"Father, we are allying with the Ash Beastmen to deal with the Firerock Dwarves. Those red-skinned Dwarves have been getting stronger and stronger over the years, and they are occupying more and more territory. Our days are getting worse and worse. Although the Ash Beastmen's filthy Demonic Bloodline isn't a good thing, being able to borrow their power to resist the red-skinned Dwarves is a huge advantage for the clan …"
The 3rd Elder's expression softened as he carefully pondered over it. It seemed that this was indeed the case.
The God Nation's three major races were the Dark Elves, the Ash Beastmen, and the Firerock Dwarves. The Firerock Dwarves were the strongest, and these red-skinned Dwarves were the best at forging. They rarely fought with the other two races, but the Ash Beastmen and the Dark Elves had been having conflicts for a long time.
In the past few years, the power of the Ash Beastmen and the Dark Elves hadn't grown much. On the contrary, the Firerock Dwarves had been watching from the sidelines, silently making a fortune. They were getting stronger and stronger, and they were taking advantage of the conflict between the Ash Beastmen and the Dark Elves to reap a lot of benefits.
If this continued, the Firerock Dwarves' strength would far surpass the two races. At that time, the Dark Elves, who were already the weakest, would be in danger.
The Ash Beastmen were ambitious and wanted to deal with the Firerock Dwarves. If they could weaken the Firerock Dwarves and the Ash Beastmen, that would naturally be the best.
Jers saw that there was hope and promptly tried to persuade his father.
"Moreover, Father, we are only dealing with those red-skinned Dwarves. Borrowing the power of our ally to kill a weak outsider isn't worth mentioning. When the time comes, we would only need to mention it and the Ash Beastmen would take the initiative to help us kill that outsider …"
The 3rd Elder inwardly nodded, feeling that Jers' words were reasonable.
'That's right, that child Jeremy's death can't be left unavenged. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself once my elder brother awakens. Moreover, that damned outsider really deserves to die.
'I'm only dealing with the Firerock Dwarves now. Wouldn't it be better to let the Ash Beastmen kill the outsider in passing?
'I won't betray the tribe's interests, and I'll even fight for the tribe's interests while killing that outsider. It's the best of both worlds.
