Chapter 154 Scars on Body
"How did this happen? Why are there scars? There shouldn't be scars. What's going on here?" Ebt said to himself in a flustered tone while ruffling the hair on the high priest's body.
Listening to his words, Li Xian also became suspicious. Could it be that there is something wrong with the scar on the high priest's body? Ebt reacted so fiercely, and everyone in the Storm War Bear Clan is a strong man. Don't they think scars are beautiful? Instead, having scars means shame?
Thinking about it like this seems to make sense, after all, having a scar means being injured, how can such a noble status as the High Priest be injured, right?
Different from Li's figuring it out now, Yan patted Ebut on the shoulder directly and asked: "Commander Ebut, what happened, is there something wrong with the scar on the high priest's body?"
"There shouldn't be scars. The high priest shouldn't have scars. Why are there scars? And this scar looks so familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere. Where exactly is it? Why can't I remember it. "Ebt was asked by him, like a dynamite barrel being ignited, he couldn't stop muttering, repeating a few words, and listening to him was at a loss.
Yan watched his voice getting higher and higher, the expression on his face became more and more strange, the force of turning his hands became stronger and stronger, and the sharp claws between his fingers protruded from his palms, almost scratching the skin of the high priest , couldn’t help persuading and said: “Commander Ebt, calm down, why is the high priest having scars on his body, you are so excited, have you seen the high priest’s back before?”
"Yes, I have seen it. When I was his servant, I combed his hair before. At that time, he had no scars on his back, but now he has a scar on his body. This should not happen. , Was the high priest injured before I knew it? But I don’t remember such a thing.” Yan’s words diverted Ebt’s attention, and he followed Yan’s question and answered directly.
"There is no scar, but there is an extra scar. A scar that did not belong to him appeared on the back of the uninjured person. Either the scar appeared without his knowledge, or the person with the scar Not the original one."
Li Xian began to deliberate in his mind following Ebt's words, and suddenly thought of this, turned his head to look at the face of the high priest, looked at the bronze mask on his face, and the light of the burning fire in the brazier shone on the mask, giving The mask added an inexplicable strange atmosphere.
"Commander Ebut, have you opened the mask of the high priest to see if this high priest is the high priest himself?" Li Xian's tone suddenly became serious, as if a bolt of lightning struck Ebut and Yan In the ears, the eyes of the two people were focused on him.
"Open the mask of the high priest? Why do you have such an idea? Every high priest has to wear a bronze mask from the beginning of his succession, implying that he will give all his risks to the gods from now on. His appearance, words, deeds, thoughts It's all the will of the gods. Until death, you can't show your true face to others to prove your sincerity to the gods. How can we offend him when he is unconscious?" Ebt said to Li Xian I was quite annoyed by this proposal, so I spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"If this is the case, how do you prove that the high priest is the high priest? Could it be that just based on the clothes he wears and the mask on his face, if it's just like this, anyone can pretend to be the high priest, even if you are Lied, you don't even know."
"Li Xian, what nonsense are you talking about, and you haven't apologized to Commander Ebout."
Hearing Li Xian's rude words to the high priest, Yan hurriedly reminded him, and at the same time signaled him to apologize to Commander Ebout with his eyes.
"I'm not talking nonsense, Commander Ebut, don't you think the whole thing is strange? Dontos died outside the tent. You think it was Lei Ge who killed him, but did Lei Ge have a reason to kill him? Even if he did, he killed him. After killing Dontos, he was already discovered, how could he come back and attack the high priest? If he really did this, wouldn’t he be worried that he would be caught? Before, I couldn’t figure out why the person who killed Dontos I didn’t understand the key to running to attack the high priest until you said that the high priest had a scar that didn’t belong to him.” Li Xian didn’t pay attention to Yan’s persuasion, but instead asked Commander Ebut.
Ebut was indeed a little annoyed at Li Xian's disrespect to the high priest at first, but after hearing what he said later, he also aroused some curiosity in his heart, because based on his understanding, he didn't think Lei Ge would Killing people, let alone attacking the high priest, there is no need to question his character. After all, they have worked together for so long, and Lei Ge was one of the most nervous people for the safety of the high priest along the way. Deliberately created an illusion, then he is really powerful. He has deceived everyone around him for so long by acting since he was a child, but he is unwilling to believe what Li Xian said. After all, if the high priest killed Dontos and Lei Ge Dontos is completely two concepts.
Li Xian saw the entanglement in his heart, so he didn't continue to persecute him, but continued to talk about his inference: "When Lei Ge wanted to interrogate Dontos, the high priest defended Dontos, of course the high priest has A certain part is to care about the friendship between the two races, but let's put this aside and don't think about it. If, I mean, if Lei Ge's accusation against Dontos is true, will the high priest do anything different? The deep meaning, don't get excited, just listen to me first."
Li Xian saw that Ebut was about to refute, so he reached out his hand to signal him not to get excited, and then continued: "If the high priest and Dontos are accomplices, that is, the person who poisoned your young master, then the high priest defends Dontos is very reasonable. Here I want to tell you one thing. When Yan was looking for herbs for me, I overheard your tribe talking to a person. The words he talked about were similar. Don’t hold him accountable for his crimes. They didn't know that Yan only heard a little bit, but mistakenly thought that she knew their identities, so they came out for a secret meeting in the middle of the night, but the high priest changed his mind, and for some reason, he decided to kill Dontos, Because Dontos believed in him very much, so he was defenseless and was hit by him. Before killing him, he prepared someone to replace him in his tent. If I guessed correctly, he rushed to replace him. It should be Toby. After killing Dontos, he would leave quietly. It was just a coincidence that Lei Ge ran into him, and Lei Ge went to chase him. Brother became the murderer, and regarded the escaped high priest as Toby who went to chase Leigo. If it wasn’t for your subordinates who accidentally untied his clothes, and we saw the scars on his back, under the premise that no one opened the mask , basically no one will doubt the identity of the high priest, do you think my inference is reasonable, Commander Ebt."
When Li Xian was talking about Toby, Ebt had already thought about why he felt the scar on the high priest's back was so familiar, because he had indeed seen this scar on Toby's body, just because it had been too long , he didn't think of it for a while, but when Li Xian reminded him, his memory instantly surfaced.
Lei Ge is just a warrior of the Bear Clan in the storm. He killed Dontos, which can be understood as a misunderstanding. He mistakenly thought that Dontos killed the young master, so the killing is justifiable. It is easier to explain it to the Winter Clan. Explain, if the high priest killed Dontos, what was the reason? People in the know can easily think of the poisoning case, and the consequences will likely be a war between the two clans.
Yan also saw the scruples in Ebut's heart, and gave Li Xian a hard look, pulled Li Xian and saluted Ebut: "Commander, there is something strange about the high priest, it's related to you Zhan Xiong!" The privacy of the family, we will not stay, you have other things to call us."
Hearing what Yan said, Ebt breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to her and allowed her to leave. Seeing him nodding, Yan grabbed Li Xian who wanted to continue talking, and dragged him out of the tent, ignoring the outside The curious Bearman and the Winter tribe brought him all the way back to the tent where the two had rested before.
As soon as the two entered the tent, Yan shook off Li Xian's arm and blamed him: "Aren't you stupid? How can you say what you speculated directly in front of someone else, Commander Ebt? Do you know that you What you said just now, at a small level, is to slander the reputation of the high priest, and at a high level, it is to provoke disputes between the two clans, do you want to die?"
"I'm not assuming, and I didn't say that the high priest must have done the death. Is it necessary to be so excited? In other words, you didn't think what I said was very reasonable, and you didn't think that if you uncovered his The mask, if the person under the mask is not the high priest, but someone else, what will happen." Li Xian approached Yan like a pyramid schemer, and coaxed with a bewitching tone.
"Come on, I don't think what you said is very reasonable." Yan looked at the sly smile on Li Xian's face, shuddered in his heart, and subconsciously took two steps back, wanting to stay away from him.
"Really? I remember someone said before that what I said was quite reasonable, but now it's the other way around. Women, you are really fickle animals. Forget it, I will go alone." Li Now he pretends to leave the tent, but keeps peeking at Yan's reaction out of the corner of his eyes to see if she will stop him.
