Chapter 277: Share Your Worries
The ancestors once said that pies do not fall from the sky, and the ancestors also said that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
So there should be no such cheap things in the world.
The problem is, Gao De considers his request to be "unreasonable" to the point that if it were a scam, the other party would absolutely not be able to continue.
But Su Su Su Nai Fa just agreed to his request without hesitation.
More importantly, the establishment of a scam must be for profit.
But what profit would there be for the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe and Su Su Su Nai Fa in tricking himself into accepting the identity of "King"? Gao De thought about it, but couldn't think of a clear answer.
"What exactly is going on?" Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply asked directly.
"How did you enter the Northern Realm? By sea route or?" Su Su Su Nai Fa didn't answer Gao De directly, but asked him a question instead.
Gao De hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no need to hide this matter, so he told the truth, "Not really, I entered the Northern Realm through the Eryinlaya Range."
"Sure enough." Su Su Su Nai Fa nodded slightly, showing an expression as expected.
Our King, coming from the top of the high mountain.
After confirming the accuracy of the guidance again, Su Su Su Nai Fa finally answered Gao De's question and solved Gao De's confusion: "Everything originated in the ancient times, the instruction of the then War Mother Oretia."
"At that time, the Ice-born bloodline began to decline, and no reason or solution could be found, so War Mother Oretia held a grand ritual magic in the Boreas Sanctuary of Ancient Frost Mouth, wanting to solve the difficulty of the decline of the Ice-born bloodline."
"In that ritual magic, War Mother Oretia foresaw the long-term decline of the Ice-born tribe and the hope of revival."
"Later, just as War Mother Oretia predicted, the Ice-born tribe began to decline, the bloodline power of the Ice-born continued to degenerate, as if there was no end, and even the Ancient Frost Mouth was gradually buried in history."
"But the hope of revival she spoke of, we have been waiting for a long time."
"Until I found the Ancient Frost Mouth, obtained 【Blizzard】, awakened Enduring Zhenbing magic, and inherited the knowledge of the Ice-born ritual magic held by War Mother Oretia."
"So, I restarted the Boreas Sanctuary, and like War Mother Oretia, held a grand Ice-born ritual magic there."
"My power is far inferior to War Mother Oretia, and the Ice-born bloodline is not as prosperous as it was then, so in this ritual magic, I cannot foresee too much or too far."
"However, the hope of revival has arrived, so I got some guidance."
"Someone is coming from the top of the high mountain."
"The Northern Realm will be unified again!"
Su Su Su Nai Fa whispered.
"At the same time, I also got three instructions."
"That person, protected by ice and snow, will be able to withstand the cold of Enduring Zhenbing."
"That person, favored by nature, will be accompanied by the spirits of nature."
"That person, enlightened by the world, will possess the most original power in the world."
"The person who can pull out 【North Wind】 is the person who is protected by ice and snow and can withstand the cold of Enduring Zhenbing as mentioned in the guidance."
Speaking of this, Su Su Su Nai Fa looked at Fu Luo La, who was sitting on Gao De's shoulder and listening with relish, and then continued: "Lady Fu Luo La should be the spirit of nature mentioned in the guidance."
Gao De heard this and subconsciously looked down at Fu Luo La.
The spirit of nature?
Just at this time, Fu Luo La also looked up at Gao De, and the two stared at each other.
After staring for two times, Fu Luo La turned her gaze to Su Su Su Nai Fa and said seriously:
"Not the spirit of nature, it is Lady Fu Luo La."
Gao De laughed.
Being interrupted by Fu Luo La, his heart, which was a bit messy because of Su Su Su Nai Fa's words, returned to calm.
It must be said that the position of the new king made Gao De's heart move.
Although Phoenix is not a big city, it is the only city on this permafrost tundra in the Northern Realm.
The Enduring Zhenbing Tribe is not rich, but its top combat power is stronger than the Saint Xi Encheng.
But the problem is, Gao De doesn't think the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe is really willing to recognize him as their "King."
Perhaps this ritual magic is true, and the so-called guidance also exists.
But to say that he is the person in the prophecy, who can lead the Enduring Zhenbing to glorious revival and unify the Northern Realm, Gao De still feels it is too mysterious.
More importantly, such a large tribe of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe with a population of over 500,000, the first tribe in the Northern Realm, would recognize an outsider magic user of unknown origin and strength of only the first circle as the new king because of such a ritual magic and such a prophecy. Gao De doesn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
Gao De stood on the high platform with a sword, and his eyes swept across the Enduring Zhenbing people kneeling neatly on the stage one by one.
He thought for a while, then said slowly: "You all get up first."
Hearing Gao De's order, all the Enduring Zhenbing people in the field thought that Gao De had recognized his identity after listening to the War Mother's explanation, and everyone's face showed joy and excitement.
They stood up in unison and continued to look at the person in the prophecy who would lead the Enduring Zhenbing to glorious revival with fiery eyes.
Seeing the joy and excitement on their faces without any concealment, Gao De's thoughts changed a bit.
So many people behave like this, so it can't be a scam.
Not to mention how difficult it is to persuade so many people to perform such a play without any flaws, for a first-circle magic user like him, there is no need to spend so much effort to create such a "shocking scam."
Is there really such an outrageous thing? Gao De, who began to accept it, still felt it was not very real.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed in Gao De's mind.
Even with his computing power, he was crashed at this moment and couldn't analyze a result.
Common sense tells him that this is impossible.
But the facts show that this is true.
The conflict between the two is too great.
Finally, all the thoughts and ideas settled in Gao De's mind:
His purpose of pulling the sword was to seek justice.
Although the subsequent changes far exceeded his expectations, at least from the current point of view, it is developing in a favorable direction.
Since this is the case, why bother too much about true or false? It is better to use this to complete his initial purpose first.
Once the idea was determined, Gao De soon stopped struggling and began to wait in place.
He was waiting for Elder Grant, waiting for him to bring Tang Nade, the Great Elder who was sent to the Ice Prison Cliff for confinement, over.
Gao De didn't wait too long.
Soon, Tang Nade, who was tall, had deep-set eye sockets, and often had a smile on his face, like a smiling tiger, had been "escorted" over by Grant.
It is said to be escorted, but it is not, because there is no means to restrict Tang Nade at all.
He followed Grant one after another, only staggered by half a body position.
Compared to not long ago, Tang Nade's face was inevitably a bit ugly, and the semi-permanent smile on his face had long since disappeared.
Obviously, on the way here, he already knew the news of the appearance of the new king and that the new king was Gao De. An outsider who thought he could be bullied at will became the new king of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe, and he had completely offended Gao De. What is called lifting a stone and hitting one's own feet, this is it.
So no matter how deep his thoughts were, he couldn't maintain his fake smile.
For most people, the premise of maintaining emotional stability is to have a well-thought-out plan.
Tang Nade followed Grant into the square, walked through the Ice-born of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe, and came under the high platform, beside Su Su Su Nai Fa.
Su Su Su Nai Fa just stood quietly, without even looking at Tang Nade.
This is Gao De's business, so naturally Gao De decides the follow-up, and she is not prepared to and will not intervene.
Gao De stood on the high platform, watching silently as Tang Nade was "escorted" by Grant to his front.
The elders and Ice-born of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe kept shifting their gazes between Tang Nade and Gao De.
"War Mother, Our King, Tang Nade has been brought here." Grant bowed and reported respectfully.
Gao De hadn't spoken yet.
Beyond everyone's expectations.
Tang Nade knelt on one knee directly to Gao De, stroked his chest and saluted, and said loudly: "Tang Nade welcomes the new king of our tribe, and pays homage to the new king of our tribe."
Before everyone could react, the next moment, Tang Nade had changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both legs, and from stroking his chest to bowing his head.
"Previously, I offended Our King because of my eagerness for the interests of Enduring Zhenbing. Please forgive me for my rude crime."
Everyone was shocked and speechless, including Gao De.
He never thought that Tang Nade would kneel to him so decisively, admit his mistakes painfully, and ask for forgiveness.
Don't say the reformist elders who had been standing on Tang Nade's side, even Grant, who had always looked at Tang Nade unpleasantly and had many grievances and hatreds, saw Tang Nade's low posture, and his face became a little better.
Those who know the current affairs are heroes.
On this point alone, there is no doubt that Tang Nade is a first-class hero.
"Our King has descended, Enduring Zhenbing will surely be gloriously revived. I know that the mistakes I made before cannot be saved, and I am willing to bear the consequences, but things that have not happened can still be remedied." Tang Nade said, pressing his forehead to the ground.
"At present, it is the time for the revival of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe, and it is also the time for employment. Although I am old, I still have strength, and I have served as the Great Elder of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe for many years, familiar with everything in the tribe, and know the expertise of all the elders. Please allow me to make meritorious service with sin, unite all forces that can be united, and contribute my strength to the glorious revival of Enduring Zhenbing."
Tang Nade performed extremely sincerely and unusually emotionally.
Gao De took a deep breath.
Tang Nade's "softening" and "knowing interest" far exceeded his expectations.
It was also at this moment that he truly understood the weight of the prophecy for the Enduring Zhenbing people, and he truly believed that the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe would really recognize him as the new king because of a prophecy.
And in the current situation, following the steps down and temporarily forgiving Tang Nade's "rude" crime is undoubtedly the best choice.
It can not only win people's hearts and establish a generous leader image in the hearts of the Enduring Zhenbing people, but also with Tang Nade's status and ability, subduing him will bring greater help than punishing him.
Forgiving Tang Nade's "rude" crime can gain Tang Nade's support.
In the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe, gaining the support of the War Mother and the Great Elder will be unfavorable in everything you do.
And in terms of the art of governing people, Su Su Su Nai Fa and Tang Nade are tit-for-tat and check and balance each other, which is actually more in line with the scientific ruling structure.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, letting go of past grievances, "monarch and minister are suitable," and passing it on as a good story should be the ideal best way to handle it.
Everyone thinks so.
Including Tang Nade, including Grant, and even Su Su Su Nai Fa.
Everyone is waiting for Gao De's response.
Although he has been expressionless since Tang Nade opened his mouth, making it impossible for people to see what he is thinking.
Just then, Gao De's voice rang out.
"You apologized to the wrong object," he said, looking at Tang Nade, whose head was still deeply pressed to the ground: "You should apologize to Lady Fu Luo La."
Tang Nade hadn't reacted yet, and even his head hadn't had time to lift, Gao De's next sentence had already come out, accompanied by the sound of a sword being drawn.
"Also, your crime is more than rude."
Whoosh! Gao De said, while waving 【North Wind】 in his hand, and slashed at Tang Nade's neck, which was exposed and undefended.
Beheaded.
Blood sprayed out, and because it was Ice-born blood, it was not frozen, but sprayed and spilled wantonly.
Both on the high platform and under the high platform, it was full of Tang Nade's bright red blood.
Gurgle.
Tang Nade's head fell from his neck, hit the ground with a thud, and then rolled to Su Su Su Nai Fa's feet.
Su Su Su Nai Fa subconsciously lowered her head and looked at Tang Nade's head.
Dead without closing his eyes.
The pair of eyes on Tang Nade's head were wide open, but the light in the eyes had gone out, leaving only endless astonishment and disbelief.
Until the last moment of his life, he couldn't believe all this.
No one could have imagined that Gao De would have this reaction.
Tang Nade didn't expect it either.
Even if Gao De wouldn't easily forgive him, shouldn't he have drawn his sword directly?
So he didn't defend himself at all.
So he died so easily under Gao De's sword.
This scene happened too fast, so that everyone didn't react.
After a while, someone made a sound of gasping for air.
The Great Elder of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe, in Phoenix, was beheaded in front of all the high-level Ice-born of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe.
This unimaginable and horrifying thing just happened.
Su Su Su Nai Fa, who rarely showed emotional fluctuations, opened her mouth wider this time.
Even she cannot suppress the complex emotions in her heart now.
Gao De looked at those faces filled with shock, disbelief, and confusion.
He put away his sword calmly, and then said calmly:
"Earlier under the Enduring Zhenbing Wutong tree, I had already heard the elders say a lot of truths, and the main point was only one, which is that what the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe needs most at present is unity."
"You are afraid of infighting, worried about division, and fear that conflict will affect the unity of the tribe."
"The hidden dangers of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe have existed for many years. A tribe that cannot be twisted into a rope cannot rise and revive. Since you are willing to recognize me as king, then everyone, let me, this new king, clear the hidden dangers for you and share your worries."
"It is difficult to return from accumulation, and it is impossible without great force."
Gao De lifted 【North Wind】, pointed the tip of the sword at Tang Nade's head at Su Su Su Nai Fa's feet, and finally said: "This is the unity I think of."
