C436 The Old Clan Head(2)

"But I'm an immortal monster, and even I can't..." I stammered, not knowing how to respond.

"When you were on the battlefield, did you ever think that it would hurt to kill your enemy? Your hesitation is truly baffling. You've lived for so many years, yet you don't understand women at all. " Uma sighed.

I stared blankly at Uma. In the long river of my life, I did not have much contact with women. When I said that I do not understand women, I did not have any objections.

"Marina didn't think that you would love anyone else in the future. She only wanted to truly love you once. Marina's feelings towards you are definitely not just possessive. I'm afraid that your hesitation might not be entirely for Talitha. I wonder how much you have hurt Marina like this." Uma said sadly.

Uma's words made me unable to not agree and dare not accept Marina. Perhaps it was not just because of Talitha. I also do not know why. After Omas's evasive warning, Hardell's ridicule, Cecilia's warning, and even Atma's tragic fate. I can't let go of that belief. After persisting for hundreds of years, can I really let go of that belief in one go? I can't choose not to continue searching for Talitha. I can only find the place where Talitha's bones are buried. Only then will I be able to obtain a new life. Before this, I can't honestly love another woman no matter what.

"For you, Marina didn't hesitate to be a moth drawn to the flame, but you, a man, can't compare to her?" Uma said helplessly.

"It is meaningless for me to say this now. Marina already has another love and will not care about me anymore." In front of Uma, I seem to be unable to convince her.

" Do you think you are very handsome? " Uma's eyes lit up.

"Me?" I suddenly wanted to laugh. I am not handsome at all.

"Do you think that your current Necromancer profession is very glorious?" Uma continued to ask.

I shook my head. My profession suffered a lot of rolling eyes.

"Are you now a great hero who will never be defeated?" Uma seemed to be determined to make me a worthless hooligan.

I shook my head. I can only be considered an intermediate powerhouse. I am not worth mentioning in front of the masses.

"Then why do you think Marina liked you before meeting that person? To suffer grievances for you? Do you think my daughter is infatuated?" Uma ridiculed me.

I shook my head. "Patriarch, you should rest first." After saying that, I helped Uma up and let her sit on the tiger skin chair.

Uma lowered her eyes as if she did not want to waste any more time with me.

I got up and went out. The patriarch's courtyard was very stylish. Although the ceremony to ascend the throne had yet to be held, Enotec had already arranged for me to stay in the most luxurious mansion in Harrogath.

I paced back and forth in front of the fake mountain in the courtyard, my heart in a mess. I had long decided to forget about it, but why am I still in such a dilemma? Uma has never seen Brodie before, perhaps she has seen that expert. She would not be so firm. There is nothing shameful about parting love. Furthermore, Marina and I have not even started dating yet. I don't have anything to complain about. If I were to complain, I can only blame myself.

"Patriarch!" Enotec changed into clean clothes and came to pay his respects. But the neat clothes could no longer hide his weakness. His wound was still bleeding non-stop. Even the great alchemist Anya could not heal the cursed wound.

"Elder An, your injury..." I was a bit sad. In Rogge, when I used the Wrath of Lich King, I clearly healed Natalya's wound. Why can't I do it this time?

Enotec smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I might have died a long time ago. Now that you have come to protect the Arreat, I have no more regrets. The Elders Guild had been completely destroyed in this catastrophe. Perhaps this was the arrangement of the heavens. Arreat needs a true king, and not a pile of loose sand."

I don't know what to say. I have never been interested in politics in my life. It is a joke to ask me to lead a tribe. However, the few remaining elders may have reached the end of their lives. At this time, can I erase their last wish?

"How are the soldiers of each country?"

"Patriarch, we've already made arrangements. After this battle, there's no longer any conflict between us. Although everyone's mood is very bad, it will recover in a few days." Enotec replied.

"How are the casualties?"

"Over ten thousand of our brave warriors have died, and nearly a hundred thousand of our warriors have died." Enotec replied. But there was no pride in his tone.

"Oh." I was at a loss. It seems like the people of Arreat are really strong. They could totally fight one against ten. Is this the result of the natural selection law of the undying kings?

"Patriarch, this subordinate has already started to arrange the ascension ceremony. Before you take over the throne of our race, there are some rules that I need to explain to you." Enotec said.

"En." I nodded.

"The patriarch of the Arreat must be the strongest warrior of the same generation. This is the rule set by the undying king." Enotec said.
