Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 396 The Secret of the Proclamation

Taking advantage of the moonlight to go out, the strict defense of the Jingshan Palace by the Ministry of Education was useless in front of Dotore.

Entering the Jingshan Palace unimpeded, Dotole looked up and squinted at the imprisoned little grass god.

Although he was looking up, his eyes were filled with disdain and pity, and even a hint of gloating.

"You are so pitiful. Knowing that the Order of the Lords cut off their own arms and imprisoned you, how easy would it be for me to attack Xumi?"

Xiao Caoshen had his eyes closed and did not open them even when he noticed someone coming.

The Jingshan Palace was too quiet for a moment, and the curve of Dotole's lips dropped. "If you know what's happening, you should hand over the Heart of God obediently. If I take action, I won't be so gentle."

The little grass god's eyelashes trembled slightly. It was a very easy movement, but it was a little difficult for her to do.

"Even if I promise you...you won't change your behavior."

Dotore's face showed a hint of impatience. "Why should we stay in this land now? Ignorant civilians, arrogant scholars, and sages who want to overthrow the gods but have no idea how to govern Xumi? Compared to these people, the things that come out of the earth veins are not pollution."

There was a faint smile on the corner of the little grass god's mouth, and a ray of light behind her highlighted the tenderness and compassion on her face.

"I know you feel that the Order has treated you unfairly. Most of the crimes in the documents belonging to Zandik are not true. The experiments conducted on living people turned the subjects into animals. And the actual time of death of those who were said to have been brutally killed by you is also inconsistent with the recorded time."

Dotole pursed his lips and looked at the Grass God with even more coldness.

"What do you want to say?"

The little grass god raised her chin with force. Maintaining the same posture for a long time made her feel uncomfortable all over. After just a few movements, she felt weak all over.

"It's not that you didn't do these things, it's just that you didn't have time to do them, or someone stopped you. The judgment you made by the Decree Court at that time was not unjust. If that person hadn't stopped you, the sins you committed would be a hundred or a thousand times greater than they are now."

Dotore's expression turned completely cold. "You have made it very clear. Then you should know that I will not let this place go easily. You should never indulge such idiots as the Order of the Lords. It is not me who destroyed Xumi, but they themselves."

The little grass god blinked slowly, as if she was physically tired from the long conversation.

"His name is... Cheng Yan, right?"

Dotore's back tensed and he took an unconscious step forward.

The Little Grass God lowered his head and continued to speak, "You care about him more than I thought. I never thought that someone like you would have feelings for someone."

Dotore hated the tone of the person who thought he understood him, and was about to sneer at him when he heard the Grass God speak.

"I want to make a deal with you. I will use one of Cheng Yan's secrets in exchange for you letting the civilians of Xumi go. They are just ordinary people with their own wishes. They should live a healthy and happy life."

"What secret?" There was a hint of alertness on Dotore's face.

"You are here for the World Tree this time, right? If you promise me, I will tell you where the World Tree is."

"Humph, I will naturally ask him about his secrets. You have been locked up here for a hundred years, what can you know? Don't think you can shake me with just a few words."

"…What if I told you that this secret was discovered in the World Tree?"
