The Golem Mage-Chapter 127 Elders meeting part 1

Inside the Gordons clan throne meeting room

A total of eight people was seated on there thrones with numbers on the back of the thrones to clarify there position in the clan

" I don't think we have ever had a full house like this in a very long time!" the grand elder said with a smile on his face when he looked at all his brothers seating,

It was always hard trying to bring them all together but here they were together with only one person missing.

" yea am even suprised old second came out of his fake seclusion, I thought nothing that happened in the clan could ever move you again " the third elder said while looking a man who was sitting in the number 2 throne and every body in the room could not help joining the third elder in laughter

The man in the number 2 throne had a pale face, his whole body was so slender and he was extremely handsome, not looking one bit of his age at all

Any one who saw him might mistake him for a young scholar not knowing that he was an old monster who had decided not to show his face for a very long time

" why won't I show my face?, if I didn't show up. It would seem as if am looking down on my younger brother"

" the fact that the fourth elder of the Gordons clan is back is probably enough for we all to come out and celebrate since there would be wine " 𝐟r𝗲𝚎𝚠e𝐛no𝘃𝗲𝐥.c𝗼m

The moment the man mentioned wine they all sneered as they knew the only reason he showed up was because they were definitely going to bring out new special wines to welcome there brother

he quickly raise his cup of wine up to toast to his brother return to be bountiful to the clan

The moment all the elders and the patriarch saw this there facial expressions changed instantly

" don't lie to me brother where you the one stealing all my wine gourds?"

The thrid elder questioned instantly, he had noticed the missing of several wine gourds but he thought it was stolen by his grand kids or his direct child so he never took it seriously

But he just realised that he over looked one person who was in a fake seclusion, and the moment the second brought out that type of wine it became clear who the culprit of all his wine is as the wine gourd was marked uniquely

And there was no one more better than stealing thing in stealth than the second elder if he wanted due to the type of golems he specialised in

" no no no, you can't call it stealing, It is called takin', I only took wine from my younger brother"

The third elder looked at the second elder in fury almost about to burst out in anger, he could not tolerate his elders brother's thick skin again

He was so shameless that he admitted to stealing the wine and he even twisted the words to act in his favour

The grand elder saw this and knew that if he did not step forward and do something it might lead to a small fight

" OK!!, that's enough we didn't come hear to discuss stolen wine but we are all gathered here to welcome back our brother who have decided to come back home to us"

The grand elder said and every one turned towards the fourth elder again

" and why is everyone looking at me like that?"

" common say something, you have been here for 2hours now and have seen your son we feel we have let you down and the least we expect is for you to rant your anger at us"

The patriarch nervously said

Fourth elder : "..."

" and why would I do that exactly?"

" because your son did not follow the path you are obsessed with "

" ohhh i see where you are coming from....."

The fourth elder sigh when he realised why his brothers expected him to rant after all before he left the clan he was totally obsessed with the spear and always

Bragged about how his son would follow in his footsteps and also become a skillful spearman and they would create a branch for the Gordons clansmen who used spear to fight as there main weapon, helping them hone there skills to perfection, it was his dreams before he left the clans

" I don't think the clan owe me any apologies in fact I think I have to thank you all sitting here for helping build my son into what he is today"

" That would have never been possible without you all watching him, I know I have always wanted my child to follow in my footsteps but who cares?, really if he is happy with the sword who am I to take that from him"

" After all I know what it feels like to walk on this weapon path, it's his own path and I can't choose it for him, all I can do is support him and hope he follows his own path and create his own Dao "

The fourth elder explained after much deliberation, making every one in the room look at him awkwardly

Until the patriarch arrived in front of him and looked at him straight in the eyes

" tell me actually what happen to you head when you travelled, you miraculously turned from an obsessed spearman to a thoughtful father, and its making me wonder if those brain eating zombie Lord have eaten your brain and put an host bug there for replacement "

The patriarch joked with a stern face making everyone in the room laugh including the fourth elder

" yea right he looks as if he became brilliant over night, am even tempted to give him all. My duties and take a vacation as the grand elder"

The grand elder joked and this time the laugh was more wilder, but no matter what it was still a happy occasion as every one was just happy the clan was complete again except from the sixth elder who still have not come out from seclusion

Every looked at the second elder again with unfriendly gaze as they knew he only entered seclusion to run away from his duties

" don't look at me like that you all, I seriously was in seclusion"

He said with his hands raised up high as he defended himself

" Well if you want to thank anyone for the way your son turned out i think only one person deserves that praise, and that is my grandson Alec"

"Alec! , the one you had me protect? "

The fourth elder asked and the patriarch nodded his head

" so now we are done with all the pleasantries, tell us really, how did it go?"

This time the patriarch asked another question his two hands behind his back and his vibes changed completely from the friendly old man vibes

Every one in the room became quite as they all looked towards the fourth elder all waiting for his reply

They all knew that going to the wilderness to train was an excuse the fourth elder used to deceive the outside world when he left the clan

Only the Gordons clan upper members really know the pains he was passing through when he decided to leave after he got an anonymous letter, they all wanted to help but they felt it was not time yet to show there prowess as the Gordons clan was still in it's early stages and hey don't want to make any moves that would make them

enter the eyes of the capital forces yet, though they all wanted to ask there brother the situation of his mission since when he came back they decided to shut up

As they didn't want to touch his reverse scale but it seems only the patriarch was worthy to do that
