Mysterious Tribulation

three days later.

Sotos Castle is barely back to normal.

The lords and soldiers and maesters who supported Colin were liquidated, laborious espionage organizations were uprooted, innocents were released, and everything seemed to be back on track.

But everyone who saw the green banyan tree knew that nothing could go back.

On the balcony of the castle.

Aaron and Theodore sat opposite each other, with two glasses of honey water on the table in front of them.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Theodore broke the silence first: I seem to have always underestimated you, you have been so different since you were a child, and even more so when you grew up... I should call you now Aaron, or the 'son of the green banyan', or even the 'king of the green forest'?

whatever……

Aaron sighed: At this point, I can't become the Earl of Green Forest. I once heard a sentence called 'the greater the power, the greater the responsibility', which is actually a lie!

The complete proverb should be that the greater the ability, the greater the power, the higher the status, and then the greater the responsibility that needs to be taken! To delete the middle and only talk about two ends is to play a hooligan!

Actually, those with higher status often do everything possible to reduce their responsibilities. This is the reality!

But at this point, if I don't gain the highest power in the Green Forest, no matter who takes the top, there will be divisions and wars in the future, so I must become an earl...

Theodore took a sip of the honey water, but his mouth was full of bitterness.

As a symbol of the green forest's will to power before, he was instinctively reluctant to give up his power, and even felt a little dissatisfied and jealous of this son.

Instead, it made him realize that Aaron was absolutely right.

If those who hold the power do not hold the power, the green forest will be divided in the future, and then there will be civil war...

The blood of the Green Forest people has already shed enough!

I understand, I will announce my abdication later, and you will be the Earl of Green Forest! Or it's okay if you want to be king...

Theodore sighed.

The heir he was originally optimistic about was Xia Ya!

But now, it's impossible for Xia Ya, do you have to wait for him to grow up to take revenge and repeat what happened before?

Forget the Green Forest King...

Aaron felt goosebumps just by imagining that he was wearing a wooden crown made of banyan branches and dancing with a group of lords.

I only have one request, my only request! Theodore said solemnly, with a hint of sorrow: I want the kingdom of Kagash to pay the price, and I want you to avenge Colin!

In the eyes of this father, the child Colin is not bad, he was just bewitched by the spy of Kagash Kingdom.

Aaron sighed, I will.

To be honest, now that he goes to war, he is simply bullying people.

Not to mention full firepower, even just relying on divination prophecy is equivalent to opening the map, clearing all the fog of war, the enemy army knows the truth clearly, and there is no victory in the fight!

And for this request, he did not intend to refuse.

It is instinct for the superiors to take anger and shirk their responsibilities, so Colin's death is not Aaron's fault, not Theodore's fault, it can only be the fault of the Kagash Kingdom!

About Colin, can you put him down and bury him properly...

Speaking of which, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Theodore's face.

Ke Lin's dried body is still hanging on the green banyan tree!

Didn't you put him down?

Aaron was shocked that he didn't pay much attention to the things over there.

They all said that it was a miracle, and no one dared to approach, let alone touch it... Theodore said.

In addition, the green banyan tree was so powerful that day, the tragic situation of killing dozens of people is still vivid in my mind.

Even the strongest warriors are afraid that after approaching, they will be caught by the green banyan tree and suck them up!

I'll go there in person.

This Aaron had no objection and agreed directly.

And Silvi and Xiao Xia, what should I do?

Draw out a knight's collar and give it to Xiaya directly, and let Silvi and Xia move there to live there... This way both parties are comfortable.

Aaron sighed.

Anyway, these two jumped up and couldn't hit him. He looked at the racetrack outside the castle with a slight softness in his eyes.

Well, it's time to prepare for the ceremony.

Theodore had many questions to ask, but found that he had nothing to say and stood up.

Lord Aaron!

At this time, a guard ran over with a slightly panicked expression.

What happened?

Theodore asked.

Mrs. Sonia, committed suicide in the room...

The guard answered loudly.

Sonia... She doesn't want to cause trouble for her children, and hopes to use death to wash away the sin of being in the wrong team?

Aaron sighed: She looks down on me too much.

To be honest, he wasn't going to do something to Sonia, he just planned to teach that little boy Sean a lesson.

I...I'll go see her.

Theodore staggered, and his back was a little stooped.

Looking at this scene, Aaron clearly knew that he was really old...

...

My heart is frozen, I want eternity!

Aaron touched his heart and felt that even with the secret deed seal of pure white ice, the spirituality of 'red' in his body was still slowly and firmly passing by every day.

At the same time, he can clearly feel all kinds of desires.

Not only your own, but others'.

Appetite, lust, desire for power...

And what I felt from Sean when comforting Ginny—the desire for revenge!

These inductions are almost instinctive, the result of stacking up too much 'red' spirituality.

If he hadn't always carried a touch of cold reason in his heart, he would have doubted whether his temperament would have changed drastically, or he would have been directly corrupted.

Mrs. Sonia's death may be the sky for Sean and Ginny, but it is not a big deal for the entire Green Forest.

A few days later, the lords of the entire green forest gathered at Sothoth Castle. Because the banquet hall had been destroyed, the meeting could only be held in the outer square.

But everyone had no opinion, even looking at the green banyan tree, their eyes were full of awe and fear.

On the improvised high platform, Theodore coughed, took off the power ring from his hand, and handed it to Aaron: I declare... Aaron Sotos, the new generation of Earl of Green Forest! Under the witness of the banyan tree, you need to be loyal to him and offer your swords to him!

Son of Green Banyan!

The King of Green Forest!

The underground lord didn't care about the Earl of Green Forest at all, and shouted directly.

In their eyes, Aaron is simply the incarnation of God, the real king!

Theodore, who was looking at this scene, turned pale, coughed again, took the initiative to retreat to the back, and gave the venue to Aaron.

Apparently he also knew that power had been inexorably shifted...
