Yuan Heng looked at it with a gloomy look in his eyes: "This is the supreme scepter of the Danmu tribe. It was originally your father's. It represents the consciousness of your ancestors. Why don't you kneel down!"
The low voice came slowly, as if just talking about the origin of an object, but the man's eyes were sharp, looking at the leader as if he was looking at someone who had committed a heinous crime in the tribe, full of majesty, and the man seemed to represent the laws of the Danmu tribe at this moment.
"..." The leader was so shocked by the man that his knees went weak and he fell to the ground on the spot. He wanted to get up, but his legs were shaking and he couldn't stand up at all.
He knelt down, raised his head and stared at the scepter, his knuckles retracting one by one.
Of course he knew that this was the supreme scepter of the Danmu tribe, which was originally passed down from generation to generation to the succeeding chief. However, when he took over the Danmu tribe, his father, the previous chief, did not hand over the scepter to him, but cancelled the inheritance of the scepter before his death.
That is to say, from the moment he became the leader, the leader of the Danmu tribe would no longer have a scepter, and the scepter that had accompanied countless Danmu leaders also disappeared.
He searched for many years without success, and never expected that it was hidden by Yuan Heng.
The leader's face turned pale, and he asked with trembling lips, "How did the Danmu Scepter end up in your hands?"
Yuan Heng pulled out a piece of animal skin from his scepter and threw it in front of the leader: "Of course it was given to me by your father."
"..." The leader picked up the animal skin and saw that the back of the skin was covered with words, and the handwriting was his father's.
"The Danmu tribe has a rule that prohibits the leader from abusing his power for personal gain. You came here as the leader and ordered me to find auspicious grass for Yue Ge'er, which violated the tribal rules. You..."
Yuan Heng looked down at the leader who was kneeling on the ground and carefully studying the words on the animal skin. Disappointment rose in his light-colored eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "You are not worthy of being a leader."
"!" The leader stood still as if he was struck by lightning.
The old orc who was closer to the leader took the animal skin from the stunned leader and took a look at it. His expression changed instantly, and he called several people to discuss something in a low voice, including the old pharmacist.
Wang Jin looked at him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The man said he wanted to take this scepter...
There was noise in the yard for a while, and finally several old orcs looked at their leader and sighed.
The old pharmacist stood up tremblingly, patted the leader on the shoulder, and handed the animal skin to Yuan Heng with both hands, saying, "This handwriting is definitely from the previous leader, and it also says very clearly that this scepter was secretly entrusted to you by the previous leader so that you can supervise the leader. If the leader makes a mistake, you have the right to take back the scepter, remove the leader position, and select a new leader."
Yuan Heng took the animal skin, folded it and stuffed it back into the scepter.
The old pharmacist pondered and said, "It's just... Young man Heng, the leader was also eager to save Brother Yue that time... This matter..."
Hearing this, Yuan Heng narrowed his eyes at the old pharmacist and interrupted him, "Let's not talk about this matter, what about the beast tide that followed? Brother Yue violated the rules so much and killed the beastmen and brothers in the tribe. The leader knew that Brother Yue was guilty of a serious crime, but he still covered it up. How many people were disappointed? Are you going to turn a blind eye to it, pharmacist?"
