The elders fell into a deadly cycle, but they kept muttering, "No way! Impossible! What a disgrace! Ridiculous! It's too ridiculous! It's so rare!"
While Pablo and Timmy straightly walked out of the tent after coming to an agreement. From the top of the stand, they saw a group of islanders anxiously standing outside with the only tools in their hands. These islanders were prepared to fight to the death with the soldiers from the Divine Immortal Island. They suddenly restored to silence when seeing Pablo and Timmy coming out.
Standing on the viewing platform, Pablo took out the stamp of Patriarch and said to the crowd below the stage, "I, Pablo, am no longer your patriarch from today onwards!"
The islanders were in astonishment. Sounds of discussion rose from all directions. Some people questioned whether the patriarch was being threatened and some people pleaded not to compromise for them. They said they didn't fear fighting if they were placed in such a situation.
Pablo raised his hand to require silence and the noise gradually faded.
"I am here to tell everyone a piece of good news. From now on, our Emerald Island and the Divine Immortal Island will never start a war and will coexist peacefully. This is Timmy, the son of the lord of the Divine Immortal Island. He will become the lord of the Divine Immortal Island one day, so he is capable of making decisions. Just then, we reached a peace agreement."
Timmy took out the peace agreement and began to read the terms.
"First, there will be no war between the Emerald Island and the Divine Immortal Island, and it will last forever. Second, there will be no patriarch in the Emerald Island, as well as no class between the young and the old. Everyone will be equal. Third, the lord of the Divine Immortal Island will be in charge of the Emerald Island to improve the economy of both islands for everyone's better life. Fourth, a public complaint box will be set up for anyone dissatisfied with the lord or anyone. Every island can write an anonymous complaint. Fifth, the system of monogamy will be carried out. Sixth, the system of the elder will be abolished."
When the elders below the stage heard this, their legs immediately went weak. Fortunately, attendants were supporting them from behind, so the elders were able to avoid falling.
However, when they heard the terms, they still felt it as unreal as a dream. They had supported two lords before and never expected that things got tricky during the third-lord period.
The islanders under the stage began to listen carefully from the initial uproar. After Timmy finished reading, they suddenly realized that they were the biggest beneficiary of the peace agreement.
They had thought that the patriarch had abandoned them for fear of menace.
But now, they found that Pablo got nothing from the term. He would no longer be the patriarch, receive no support from the elders, and have no more black-haired attendants. Now even the system of polygamy was rescinded. This was a great shock to the islanders. The polygamy system, a great temptation to many men who seldom renounced it, had lasted since the Emerald Island existed.
The patriarch was empowered the right equivalent to the emperor in ancient times, and the polygamy system legally provided the patriarch with many wives. That was such a temptation to a man!
But now, not only was Pablo able to resist the temptation, but he had even crippled the system of the patriarch.
The islanders below the stage remained silent for a long time. Suddenly there was scattered applause. Then, more applause came. In the end, every islander was clapping vigorously.
While the elders looked at each other amid the applause, they sighed and shook their heads as if aging in an instant.
Since it was destined, the elders had no choice but to accept it.
Inside the tent, the medicine doctor was still standing there. Vincent, who was on the couch, was currently being helped by a few disabled people to change clothes He was wearing a straight ironed suit with a black shirt instead of a white robe. He stood up and put on his watch. Then, he looked at the medicine doctor expressionless.
"One drink every day for a week," the medicine doctor said as he handed over a bottle to Vincent.
Vincent looked at the bottle in the doctor's hand and said nothing. Rex, who was behind Vincent, reached out to take the bottle and thanked the doctor.
He was born with black hair. How could he turn grey after curing? It was all to the medicine doctor's credit. Of course, the elders would never know it.
But if the elders finally knew it, nothing could be changed as Emerald Island was different now.
"Your mother is very beautiful and intelligent. A rare and intelligent girl on the Emerald Island. Back then, the late patriarch fell in love with her at first sight". The medicine doctor said as he packed up the medicine box.
The medicine doctor looked at the man in front of him and said, "She knew everything but kept to herself.. No response to the love from her husband's younger brother, let alone improper words."
