"My king, this is what happened..."

Elijah reported the whole incident to King Nathan.

"Is the truth really that simple?

The two groups fought openly and secretly, and even sent traitors to the island deliberately, causing chaos on our island. The final outcome was just to fight for one person?

Now that they've found the person, what's their next move?"

"That Jia Zhengliang is planning to learn the secret technique they're talking about from Shiqi.

Others are willing to leave, and if you allow them, they can leave the island at any time."

"The center of the trouble lies with Seventeen. The others are insignificant. Let them leave!"

"But they also want to take your grandfather away..."

"Li Muxuan...let him leave too!

He came to this island for decades, gave birth to my mother, and my mother gave birth to me.

I became King Nathan, and he never had any reverence for the sacred tree in his heart.

After all these years, there are still people from the outside world coming to look for him, which means that he still has unfinished business in the outside world and he has never belonged here.

Send these irrelevant people away...

The real trouble is that Seventeen, and that Jia Zhengliang..."

"...King, please forgive my sins. As your loyal guard, I actually concealed something from you..."

Ilya couldn't stop shaking when he said this, but after he said it, he felt relieved.

"What are you hiding? Is it about Seventeen?" Wang asked sternly.

The Nasen Guards pledged allegiance to King Nasen and the sacred tree. This was a matter of course on the island. This absolute loyalty even surpassed blood ties.

Now Wei can actually hide it from Wang, which is a huge blow to the entire Nason system.

If you dare to conceal something today, you will lie tomorrow. Are you going to break off the golden branch and challenge my throne the day after tomorrow?

"King, this story all started when someone hired us to go to the East..."

Then, Elijah told them that someone had hired them to go to the mysterious valley to fight against Zhang Chulan.

"Later, I met with that group of people again. They asked to take Seventeen away from the island. Of course, I refused, and then they...

They said they would send people to break off the branches, start a succession of kings, and force us to leave the island..."

Elijah paused before saying the second half of the sentence.

Sure enough, when Wang heard the second half, his face instantly darkened.

"Assholes! How dare they!"

Wang cursed harshly and forced himself to calm down.

"...Regardless of whether their goal is truly to do something for one person, since they dare to speak so arrogantly, we will take action.

Elijah, as a Nathan Guardian, your duty is to protect this island, protect me, and protect the sacred tree.

Since someone is trying to challenge Nathan's order, what you should do is inform us and work together to defeat them.

But why would you want to hide it? Have you betrayed the sacred tree?"

Elijah buried his head even lower. This act of deceiving the king would turn into actual mental pressure on Nason Island, causing them to feel extremely guilty.

"Never, except..."

"Just what?"

"I'm just questioning whether Nasen Island's power can withstand the entire world outside?

Since I often accept employment outside, I know how the world has changed.

I know how many organizations and forces hold the power to destroy us!

I also know one fact, that is, they have always been eyeing the sacred tree.

The sacred tree will become the source of Nathan's destruction...

Even without those people, the island would have been destroyed sooner or later. After all, we cannot escape the fate of destruction...

So, I had an idea…”

Hearing Ilya's words, the king interrupted him and continued his analysis:

“You have doubts about the sacred tree, so you want to speed up the process of opening the island.

By concealing information from those people, are you condoning their behavior of breaking branches?

Are you deliberately letting us down so they can break the branches and kill me, the king?"

Elijah looked up suddenly and explained anxiously:

“No, that’s not the case!

No matter what, I won't let anyone hurt you!

Since the island will be open sooner or later, in order to prevent others from hurting you, I thought about becoming the one who broke the golden branch! "

After hearing Elijah's words, the king was silent for a moment and then laughed in anger.

"Haha, that's your way!

Break off the golden branch, then lead a group of people to the island to destroy the sacred tree? To avoid the fate of being destroyed?

How come I didn't realize that you, Elijah, were such a coward?

Even if we're surrounded by powerful enemies, what does it matter? To live and die with the sacred tree is our destiny.

And your actions are betrayal!"

What the king didn't expect was that Elijah actually stood up at this time and continued to argue while kneeling on one knee.

"I don't accept this fate, and I don't want you to accept it either, so I'm going to destroy the sacred tree...

I don't want to see you become like the kings of past generations, merging with the sacred tree and existing forever in a half-dead state...

I want to protect you like a man..."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear another word from you!

Your identity as Nasenwei was given by the sacred tree. I have no right to take it back, but I have the right to expel you.

From now on, I don't want to see you again. You are not allowed to go near the sacred tree or the royal city.

I allow you to wander around the island, and when those outsiders invade, you can choose to help us resist them.

The premise is that you still consider yourself a Nathan Guardian!"

Soon, the king summoned the other guards and issued this order.

When others asked about the reason for expelling Elijah, the king selected some important parts to explain, but of course the king concealed Elijah's feelings for him.

The next day, Alfonso, the magician of light, became the king's newest messenger. He was ordered to go to the market to invite Ruan Feng to the royal city.

Wang could answer all of Ruan Feng's questions about the sacred tree.

Then, Alfonso met Jia Zhengliang and his group and informed them that Wang had agreed to their request to leave the island.

As for Li Muxuan, he can also leave as long as he is willing.

"So you plan to stay on the island?" Alfonso asked Jia Zhengliang.

"That's right, I followed the formal procedures. I notified my family when I needed to, and cancelled my account when I needed to!

I will be an islander from now on, so please take care of me!"

"There are many people on the island, but in my heart, only the gods' people can be considered islanders..."

As soon as Alfonso said this, he felt that there was something wrong with his words.

The absolute loyalty to the sacred tree and the king changed the way these Nasen guards thought.

They always think from the perspective of the interests of the sacred tree and the king, which makes their words not so pleasant to the ears.

"Maybe that's why Elijah is so popular?"

Thinking of this, Alfonso said to himself.

"Did you mention Ilya? He's lying there, having been drinking all day and all night!"

Following the direction Jia Zhengliang pointed, Alfonso saw his former companion, now a drunkard.

Jia Zhengliang took a few looks and quipped, "A man drinking alone, it's obvious he's been hurt by a woman!"

Alfonso rolled his eyes at him, meaning, what do you know?

Jia Zhengliang also rolled his eyes, meaning, what do you know?

This is what happens when you tell the truth!

His friend, a woman, after being baptized by the truth, resolutely left him on the island and prepared to return home!

Jia Zhengliang estimated that after Elijah made a true confession of love, he was not only hurt by the woman, but also lost his job!

This story tells us that falling in love with your female boss is risky!
