A middle-aged man in his sixties stood out from the crowd. He was the youngest among them except Diana and Ye Ling. His face was white and beardless, like a scribe. Compared with other elders, he had the least qualifications. However,
But it was the speaker, Dale, the patriarch of the Heller family and Diana's father.
Dale knew that Dai Ma could not be saved, so he sighed and said, "Auntie, do you have anything else to say?"
At this time, Daima was already furious, but she still managed to say: "Yes, it's about Diana!"
"Say it!"
"I think you also know Diana's ideals, but you have never agreed to it. I can understand this. As a father, although you are very busy, you still care about everything about your daughter. Naturally, you are not willing to see her take risks.
, just like my father didn’t want to see me marry Odin. However, before he died, he said to me, Daima
, the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life is to forcibly prevent you from being with Odin, which has caused you a lifetime of pain. Now I finally understand the truth, when a person insists on doing something that seems unwise
If he does it, he may regret it, but just maybe, but if he doesn’t do it, he will definitely regret it!”
Having said this, she looked at Dale and said, "Patriarch, do you understand what I mean?"
As the leader of the clan, Dale is naturally a wise man. He immediately understood the deep meaning of Dai Ma. If he insisted on letting Diana stay in the Star of God and forbade her to take risks, then after Diana died of old age, he said
You may regret it for the rest of your life.
Because he was busy with family affairs and had no time to take care of his daughter, Dale felt very guilty, so he wanted to protect Diana more than anyone else. However, doing so might be wrong.
After a long silence, Dale nodded and said: "I understand, okay, aunt, if this is your last wish, I promise you!"
"Very good, in this case, I won't have any regrets anymore!" At this point, she turned to Diana: "You are a sensible and strong child. I believe that you will be able to fulfill your ideals.
However, you don’t have any experience. Before that, I hope you can follow Ye Ling and learn how to survive in the outside world. Do you understand?"
At this time, Diana was already crying and could only nod her head: "Grandma, I will listen to you!"
Dai Ma then said to Ye Ling: "Ye Ling, look at her for me, okay?"
Ye Ling, who was confused at this time, nodded subconsciously: "Yes!"
"Also, don't be sad for me after I die. Let everyone know that I left happily!" After explaining everything, Daima's eyes gradually became distracted, and a young man from the God race appeared in front of him.
, he has long golden hair, a handsome face, and resolute eyes. He exudes a domineering and arrogant aura all over his body. He seems to be fearless of anything, including death, and cannot make him frown.
This young man is the person she loves most in her life, the former God-Emperor Odin Tifa.
In the illusion, he floated towards Odin Tifa step by step. Daima's face was extremely peaceful: "Charlotte, although Odin chose you during his lifetime, I am the one who can truly be with him forever.
I won with the person we were with, haha..."
The smile was fixed on her face, and a point of light appeared on Daima's body, like a firefly. There were more and more light spots. Finally, Daima's body completely disappeared, leaving only countless firefly-like light spots floating in the air.
toward the air.
While burning her soul, she chose to perish together with her body, leaving no chance for her tribe to mourn. Just like Odin Tifa died alone in the study before the curse broke out, her intention was the same.
.
"Grandma!" Diana cried sadly, trying to catch those light spots, but in vain. The light spots passed through her palms, passed through the study, and dissipated in the night sky.
Everything returned to calm, and the study fell into silence.
The incident happened so suddenly that the sophisticated executives were caught off guard, and Ye Ling was even more confused. He didn't even understand why Daima wanted to self-destruct.
Problems always have to be solved. After a while, Dale, the patriarch, finally spoke up: "Daima violated the prohibitions of the Heller family and secretly gave the family secrets and life brand to outsiders. According to the family regulations, it should be
Heavy punishment!"
Diana suddenly became angry: "Father, my mother-in-law is no longer here, and you still want to hold her responsible!"
"Shut up, Diana!" Dale said coldly: "However, considering Daima's contribution to the family, the merits and demerits outweigh the merits. The family will not give a funeral to the elders, and it cannot be recorded in the great genealogy. In addition,
,Diana, you knew that Daima had granted Ye Ling family secrets, but you deliberately concealed it. You should also be punished. From today on, you will leave the Hele family and be exiled for five years. Within five years, you will not be allowed to do anything.
Allowed to come back! And this young man..."
Dale turned to Ye Ling: "I don't think he knew that he was learning the secret skills of the Heller family. It was Daima who took the initiative to ask him to teach him privately in the Heller family. I don't think he is responsible, but since then,
From now on, Ye Ling, you are forbidden to step into the Heller family again, otherwise, we will severely punish you, do you hear me?"
Dale's voice was extremely majestic and could not be resisted. Ye Ling could only nod.
"Then, let's decide! Diana, Ye Ling, please leave the Heller family immediately so you can take care of yourself!" After Dale said this, he took a deep look at Diana and walked out of the study without looking back.
.
The elders were very satisfied with the result. Dell seemed ruthless, but for a big family, without rules, there would be no rules and it would be difficult to convince the public. Daima did seriously violate the prohibition and must be investigated, but for her,
As a member with high qualifications and great contribution to the family, no one really wants her to be severely punished. All the elders also want to show her some kindness, but they must have skills.
For many old people in big families, they all hope that they will have a grand funeral after death and be recorded in a great genealogy that will be respected by future generations. If they are removed from the qualification, it will be an extremely harsh punishment, but for Daima
That was not the case. She didn't even leave a body, she just didn't want to hold this funeral. In addition, her heart had always been on Odin Tifa, and her family had become the biggest obstacle in her life. Therefore,
She would never mind that she was not recorded in the great family tree.
Being exiled by the family is also a heavy punishment, but Dale has just promised Daima that he will no longer prohibit Diana from staying in the Star of God, so this exile is just a smooth process. Even if he did not issue this punishment order, Diana would still leave.
.
As for Ye Ling, now he is even invited by the Holy Council to become a member of the God Clan, and it was Daima who took the initiative to teach him the family secrets. If the Hele family takes back the Mark of Life, then Ye Ling must take it back.
Ling's fate cannot be explained to the recently deceased Daima, the Holy Council, and the Tifa family, so Dell cannot do anything to him.
He not only punished Daima and Diana reasonably and in accordance with the law, without leaving any excuses, but also took into account human relations. The result of this treatment is really impossible to criticize. Without such means, Dale would not be able to become Heller.
The patriarch of the family.
The other elders also left one after another, leaving Ye Ling and Diana alone in the study.
Dai Ma's death made Ye Ling feel very heavy. In addition to the first meeting, Dai Ma was very kind to him during the more than a month in the Star of Gods, teaching him like a kind elder.
, now that she is gone, she is leaving so fast, and Ye Ling cannot accept it.
"Grandma Daima, what's going on?"
"Don't you understand?" Diana wiped away her tears and bit her lower lip and said: "She burned her soul to create the brand of life that gave you the mark. With this mark, you can learn from the Heller family in the future.
She has some special magic skills, no wonder she would teach you all those!"
Now Diana finally understood Daima's intention. The grandmother did not want Ye Ling to be misled and waste his youth, but she really wanted to help him, or in other words, help God Emperor Odin.
Ye Ling was stunned. He remembered Daima's words. She taught the soul imprinting method to God Emperor Odin, and she could do it too.
After the soul burned just now, the thing that entered into my soul was Daima's life mark!
After being silent for a while, Ye Ling said: "I'm sorry, Diana. It was me who killed Grandma Daima. I'm really sorry!"
"You don't need to apologize, it's none of your business!" Diana sighed: "My grandma did it voluntarily, and she left very happily. I have never seen her smile since she was born, but she smiled just now
Yes, in another way, she realized her wish. However, my father is really too ruthless. It is really unfair to treat the grandmother like this. She has done so much for the family!"
"No, he has to do this, and he does it very well. Don't forget, he is not only your father and Daima's descendant, but also the patriarch of the Helle family!" As an incumbent, Ye Ling is very
Understand that Dale, if it were him, he would also handle it this way: "Before Grandma Daima left, she asked your father to give you freedom. He agreed and then drove you away. This way you also have an explanation to the tribe, so you
Don’t misunderstand.”
Thinking of Dale's last words, "Just do it for your own good," his suddenly softened tone, and his gentle eyes that were no longer harsh, Diana was not an idiot, and knew that Ye Ling was right: "Well, he is indeed
Such a person, even if he cares about me, would never say it directly."
Ye Ling pondered for a while: "No matter what, let's leave quickly and don't let your father be in trouble again!"
"Well!" Diana was now helpless and could only listen to Ye Ling's arrangements. After going back and packing some simple things, she and Ye Ling walked out of the Heller family.
