Chapter 182 The Progress of the Bright Knight
After Huo Manshu and the others left, a group of old men wearing white robes and gray beards hurried in.
Everyone looked serious.
One of them spoke to the person standing at the front: "There is nothing wrong with the big tree in the forest. It has already transformed into the altar. It's just that the head of the Shui family seems to have let him run away."
"What's the name of the Shui Family Master? Can't you see clearly who is in charge of the Shui Family now? You're such an old man, don't you even have an eye for it? Do you still need me to teach you how to stand in line?"
The person who was scolded kept saying that he didn't dare, and quickly changed his words: "It's the water company that ran away!"
The leader of the old man frowned, then relaxed his grip, flicked his robe, and said with a noble demeanor: "If you run away, just run away. He won't be able to cause any trouble."
The old man's voice was full of pious worship: "The new head of the family will lead us to new life."
After asking his men to count the number of demon pets that were missing on the altar, the old man sent another group of people to catch the demon pets. Before leaving, he turned around and said, "Pay close attention to the girl from the Mu family. If she wants If you learn more, let her exchange it for more magic pets. If you make good use of it, she will bring us great value.”
"That Great Elder, she, she is dead."
The curse they left on Mu Yunduo took effect.
"What a waste. He fails more than succeeds."
The First Elder cursed with a gloomy face, "Since she is dead, we must speed up our attack on the Mu family. We must get the Mu family's formation."
The Great Elder was not afraid of Mu Yunduo telling the secret. The curse they gave her was absolutely overbearing.
"Also, go ask the head of the family for instructions. The Huo family should take action."
"Elder, the head of the family has said that the Huo family cannot be touched."
As soon as the great elder finished speaking, someone reminded him in a low voice.
The new head of the family didn't know why. He followed them to do other things, but once the Huo family was involved, he would intervene.
If they had been allowed to do it earlier, the Huo family would have perished faster than the Mu family.
"It's okay, just ask someone to report it. The head of the family will agree."
The great elder has inexplicable confidence, "The realm of earth is destined to belong to the Shui family."
Different from the atmosphere at the Shui family altar, Shui Lin was being baptized by everyone's questioning eyes at this time.
"Just tell the truth."
Huo Manshu didn't use any threatening tone, but her words were particularly oppressive.
Shui Lian, a great wizard, could not bear the gaze of so many people.
"Actually, it's nothing."
Shui Lian muttered, his voice getting lower and lower, "There is a new head of the Shui family, and I am already the previous head."
"How is that possible?"
As soon as Shuilian finished speaking, Huo Nanting was the first to interrupt him: "Do you think the head of the family is so easy to be the head of the family, and the people from the Wizards Association let newcomers take over so easily?"
When Huo Lefen wanted to be the head of the family, it took almost fifty years of assessment before he was confirmed to be the head of the family. As far as Huo Nanting knew, Shui Lian had been the head of the Shui family all these years, and there was no news that he had groomed a successor.
"The Shui family is about to rebel. Do you think they will still respect the arrangements of the Wizards Association?"
Shui Lian laughed at Huo Nanting's naivety: "After the Shui family has taken care of the Huo family and the Mu family, it will be your turn." Huo Nanting didn't understand the meaning of Shui Lian's words. Just when he was about to ask a question, Huo Manshu interrupted the conversation between the two: "Regardless of who the new head of the Shui family is, I just want to know, did you come up with these plans?"
Homanshu was referring to those unscrupulous sacrificial plans.
"Of course not. I was kicked out just because I didn't go along with them."
Shuilian felt that it was a huge insult to his character that Homanshu compared him with those people.
But
Shuilian changed the topic, "I want to see the outside world. It is indeed what I have always wanted."
Huo Manshu nodded. It didn't matter whether Shuilian was the head of the Shui family or not. Anyway, he would be the one who had to follow her in the future. It was best if he didn't have any killings in his hands.
Thinking about it, Homanshu asked about the Bright Knight again.
"I heard from people in Nuo Town that a monster appeared in the Shui family. Do you know what happened? Did a bright knight appear in the Shui family recently?"
This was at least related to Huo Manshu's mission, so she still had to ask a few questions.
"What is the Knight of Light?"
Like ordinary wizards, even if Shuilian is a great wizard, he also doesn't know the existence of the Bright Knight.
Huo Nanting and Huo Dongting on the other side were also confused.
Huo Manshu suddenly understood that this was the realm of earth, the holy land of wizards, and the term "Bright Knight" was indeed unfamiliar to them.
"Then let's not talk about the Bright Knight, but what's going on with the monster that appeared in the Shui family?"
Although Huo Manshu had a guess in her mind, she still wanted to confirm it herself.
"It's said to be a monster, but it's not really one."
Shui Lian frowned and thought about it, "That was probably more than twenty years ago, when one fell from the sky."
"Wait."
Before Shuilian could finish speaking, Huo Manshu interrupted him directly, "You mean this monster happened more than 20 years ago?"
This was somewhat inconsistent with what she knew about the Bright Knight.
"It was indeed more than twenty years ago."
Although Shuilian didn't know what this matter meant to Huo Manshu, he patiently told her again: "More than twenty years ago, a man covered in black mist fell from the sky..."
Shuilian didn't seem to know how to describe it. He thought for a long time before classifying the thing as a human being, "A person covered in black mist is terrifyingly powerful. Our Shui family suffered a lot from that time and chose to live in seclusion. ”
"However, the elders of the Shui family spent their lives to ban the monster. The ban was only broken recently, so it is said that the monster came out recently."
The Shui family also suffered a disaster. At that time, the Shui family suffered heavy losses. They hid the situation and lived in seclusion to save the Shui family. Now that the Shui family has strong capital, they naturally chose to come back and start looking for trouble.
Shui Lian felt that the Shui family was not looking for a way out, but seeking a dead end.
"I stopped them, but you have seen the final result. I became the former head of the family. I don't know who they elected as the new head of the family. He is either a mediocre person or a weirdo."
The black mist Shui Lian mentioned was somewhat different from the bright knight that Ho Man Shu was looking for. Ho Man Shu asked if any strange people had come to Shui Family or Linuo Town recently. Shui Lian shook his head. He was confused by both Shui House and Linuo Town. , I haven’t heard of anyone who is more powerful.
Huo Manshu didn't say anything. She thought that catching Shuilian, a strong man, would lead to some breakthrough, but it seemed that she overestimated Shuilian.
