Normally, if Boss Luo wants to go shopping, he won't be stopped...no one can stop him.
So as we walked, Claudia, Mr. Otto, and Boss Luo suddenly separated for some reason... and it took a long time before Claudia realized that the student Luo Qiu beside her was gone. .
"When did you get lost?" Only she and Mr. Otto were left, and Claudia's tone was somewhat hostile... even guarded.
Mr. Otto, who was asked this question, frowned at this time, obviously thinking about this question seriously - he recalled the details along the way.
Ever since Ibn was knocked out and hid, they followed behind several servants, wanting to reach the palace banquet... During this process of following, he had actually talked with Luo Qiu.
Luo Qiu even asked him several questions seemingly casually—for example, asking him if he knew anything about [The Gospel of Judas], and what he thought of [The Gospel of Judas].
Although curious about why the young man suddenly asked this, Mr. Otto said something briefly—something Claudia had heard before—on the way to the oasis.
It's just that this conversation is almost the same as when they were walking in the oasis... Claudia couldn't figure out what was the point of Luo Qiu asking again.
But the memory... seems to be here - since the question, they seem to have not noticed the existence of Boss Luo, and now, they don't even know when they got lost.
"There is no other way." Mr. Otto quickly came to a decision, "Our goal is to find Princess Yamanlana, he knows... Rather than looking for him around now, we might as well go directly to the banquet venue. There is a high probability that we can meet."
"It can only be the… "
Claudia shook her head, always feeling that after classmate Luo Qiu was not by her side, the feeling of uneasiness in her heart suddenly rose to the point of max... She subconsciously opened up the distance between Mr. Otto and Mr. Otto by more than one step.
at this moment.
"your Highness!"
A well-dressed young man, with a look of surprise on his face, yelled loudly from a distance... The young man walked quickly at this time, "I didn't expect to see you so soon! Her Royal Highness Princess Yamanlana!"
Claudia cursed in her heart, but at this moment, remembering what Mr. Otto said before, she had no choice but to pretend to be cold, and hummed expressionlessly.
"Who are you?" Claudia said indifferently, "Have I met you?"
"Your Majesty is the son of the Minister of Agriculture. Your Royal Highness can call me Mani!" The young man introduced himself enthusiastically at this time, and Daoming himself made a special trip to attend the banquet today.
"Oh, really." Claudia nodded, "I'm planning to go to the banquet too... Now that we've met, let's go together."
How could Mani, the son of the Minister of Agriculture, say no at this time
He was overjoyed immediately, and walked ahead proudly, feeling as if he was on the road to the pinnacle of his life.
But Claudia felt as if she was walking on a road of no return... Once this fake identity was exposed, with the weapons at hand, she didn't know if she could break out of the banquet hall, let alone the palace up!
…
Strictly speaking, the temple and the palace in the entire City of the Sun seem to be one... The temple is located in the deepest part of the palace, and the palace is actually built around the location of the temple.
Only members of the royal family are eligible to pass the heavy checks and enter the temple.
As the most prestigious member of the royal family, Princess Yamalana naturally recognized the guards along the way, so the journey was unimpeded.
It is said that they are guards, but in fact these guards do not belong to the management of the palace - they are subordinate to the temple, and only the pharaoh of the kingdom and the high priest of the temple can order them... and basically the orders of the high priest are better than Kingdom of Pharaoh.
The reason why Princess Yamalana was able to travel unimpeded all the way was naturally because of the artifact she was holding—this was something bestowed on Princess Yamalana by the God of the Sun. It was no different to the guards at the temple. So the sacred object is the same. Naturally, Princess Yamanlana is equivalent to a saint for them, and is the representative of the human world chosen by their true god.
How could the guards of the temple block the passage of the saintess in the temple—as long as the saintess can appear here.
"Where's the high priest?" Princess Yamanlana, who had completely entered the temple, met a priest and asked directly.
The priest replied: "The high priest has not returned since he entered the palace more than a month ago. He just said that he would travel far, but he would return on the longest night of the night."
The high priest is the national teacher of the kingdom, and also the teacher who taught Princess Yamalana since she was a child... Princess Yamalana nodded slightly, then waved her hand to let the priest go.
Interestingly, as a saint, her power in the temple even far exceeds that of the pharaoh of the kingdom, but as a princess, she is not allowed to enter the temple at will... Of course, if she wants to enter the temple, in fact, the pharaoh of the kingdom It's also hard to stop.
This is the relationship between the Kingdom Pharaoh and Her Royal Highness today.
Princess Yamanlana walked into the room of the gods alone...the place where the high priest used to listen to the oracle of the true god—only those chosen by the real body can have the ability to communicate directly with it.
Although Princess Yamanlana was bestowed with an artifact by the true god, she actually had no answer in her heart, whether she was really chosen by the true god... She could only occasionally and unilaterally listen to the voice of the true god .
The room of the gods is not a luxurious place, it is just a dark and small stone room... There is not even a piece of decoration here, and there is no place to sit.
But when Princess Yamanlana walked into the room of the gods, the entire simple stone room glowed with an orange-red light... not too strong, just like the afterglow of sunset.
Her Royal Highness knelt down on one knee, uttering words of prayer, extremely pious... After a while, she stood up, raised her head and said, "Great God of the Sun, why are you unwilling to guide me... The speed of beast reproduction has already surpassed the past. If this continues, the City of the Sun may not be able to hold the next time the longest night comes..."
The stone room was so quiet that Princess Yamalana seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat... True God did not take the initiative to respond to her question.
Princess Yamalana waited for a long time, and finally sighed slowly... She lowered her head in disappointment, and finally knelt down on the ground, praying reverently again.
After finishing all this, Princess Yamanlana walked to the wall directly in front of the stone room with a solemn face, and reached out to press a brick in the middle.
The masonry fell into the wall as soon as it was pressed, and at the same time, another part of the wall opened instantly—the wall that was turned out was obviously a stone shelf.
Princess Yamalana walked quickly to the stone shelf, and glanced at the shelf—she reached out, and took out a box from the shelf—there were three identical boxes on the stone shelf at this time. .
Princess Yamalana opened the box in her hand, looked at the contents, and then sighed, "Is that all that's left..."
Bullets... The box is full of bullets, which is a round of bullets.
Taking a deep breath, Her Royal Highness quickly calmed down, and quickly took out some bullets from the box, then took out the artifact she kept close to her from her clothes, and skillfully loaded the bullets into the pistol.
After she left the room of the gods, the room of the gods had returned to its original appearance... Princess Yamanlana left the room of the gods and walked alone in the empty temple, only to see that the afterglow of the setting sun had scattered into the temple. After entering the temple, Her Royal Highness couldn't help frowning, "The time for sunset is coming soon. Perhaps, I should once again..."
…
Princess Yamalana soon left the temple and returned to the palace...but she didn't want to go to the banquet right away, so she walked alone in the courtyard of the palace.
As she walked, Princess Yamalana frowned suddenly, because she felt a gaze from behind the tree, "Who's there! Come out!"
Princess Yamanlana, who is brave and good at fighting and has practiced kung fu hard since she was a child, suddenly turned around at this time, and took out the magic weapon hidden on her body like flowing water.
Her Royal Highness was even taken aback at this moment... She didn't even feel it, but she didn't realize it until someone was so close to her.
A figure slowly walked out from behind the tree at this moment.
Under the afterglow of the sunset, this figure slowly became clear in the eyes of Princess Yamanlana, with a trace of a pure smile like a cloudless sky that she had never seen before... On his shoulders, there was even a smile. A little bird stayed.
The Holy Ibis, in the City of the Sun, is regarded as a sacred bird.
Her Royal Highness couldn't help frowning. She knew that this sacred bird never liked contact with humans... Only the royal palace kept a small number of holy ibis in captivity, and they usually lived in the courtyard of the royal palace near the temple.
The person in front of him looked very young, and he was wearing the clothes of a royal palace guard—obviously not a temple guard.
At this time, facing Princess Yamanlana's strict battle, the guards just blinked and stared curiously at the artifact in the hands of Her Royal Highness... the pistol.
The guard said curiously at this time: "Is this the so-called artifact bestowed by the true god?"
"You don't know who I am?" Princess Yamanlana frowned, feeling that the guard's attitude was too weird...Which guard saw her not in awe, but in awe.
Is it new here? Not right... Now that you know the artifact, you should also know who she is.
"Princess Yamalana, I know." The guard nodded, "Just now I saw you returning triumphantly, it's really beautiful."
Princess Yamanlana frowned again, because of the indifferent, almost frivolous tone of the young guard at this time, she snorted softly, but slowly took back the artifact in her hand... She wouldn't directly use the royal power to bully a small guard... But not to mention the guards she puts her eyes on, it made the princess feel uncomfortable to some extent.
"Are you new here?" The princess of the kingdom asked indifferently at this time: "Why have I never seen you before?"
The guard said sincerely: "I really just came here... I'm not even familiar with the way here. If this is a place I shouldn't be here, then I will leave immediately, please rest assured."
What's going on with this guard... Is this the attitude you should have when you meet the royal family
That is to say, I met her as a princess, because she often stayed in the military camp with soldiers and had a magical experience, she didn't pay much attention to class... If it was another royal family, I'm afraid she would have already punished her A guard who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth.
"It's not whether you should come here or not." Her Royal Highness said indifferently at this time: "It's because you, as a bodyguard, don't patrol and guard the palace properly, but come here to hang out... It's just that you are suspected of being lazy. Don't you know it yourself?"
—Is this look too strict... He is just a newcomer, maybe the head of the guards hasn't had time to tell him the rules here.
"So..." the guard nodded, "It's true that I didn't think carefully, I will leave here immediately, please rest assured, Your Highness the Princess."
Princess Yamanlana shook her head. She seemed to be a careless guy, and she was too lazy to argue with the other party's rudeness at this time... Just as she was about to wave her hand to let the new guard leave, Her Royal Highness went down to take a look and was still standing there. The juvenile holy ibis on the shoulder of the new guard.
What happened to this holy ibis? It has been standing on the shoulder of the new guard since just now, and it hasn't left for a long time... Princess Yamanlana couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
"Huh... is it injured?" Princess Yamalana suddenly noticed that the wings of this sacred ibis seemed to have been bandaged.
The guard nodded and said: "When I came here, I saw that its wing was injured, and it leaned against the tree by itself."
"You bandaged it?" Her Royal Highness had already walked to the guard's side at this time, and directly reached out to lift the holy ibis off the guard's shoulder.
The holy ibis appeared quite docile in the hands of the princess.
"A simple bandage." The guard said casually, "I'm afraid there will be wounds in the future, but it shouldn't affect the flight... I'm still a little confident in bandaging the wounds, the princess can rest assured."
"Holy ibis rarely touches other people." Princess Yamalana suddenly glanced at the young guard, and said meaningfully: "They can distinguish who is malicious and who is kind. Holy bird."
"It's still small, maybe it can't be distinguished yet." Unexpectedly, the guard said indifferently at this time.
Princess Yamalana shook her head, feeling that this guard was very different from other guards in the palace, so she asked directly, "What's your name?"
"Eben."
"Iben?" Princess Yamalana nodded, then bent down, put down the holy ibis on both hands, let it slowly walk into the grass in the courtyard, and then said calmly: "I like you very much." Yes, you can follow me from now on."
"Your Highness, I'm new here. I'm afraid I don't understand many things." The guard shook his head.
Her Royal Highness, who did not expect to be rejected, suddenly snorted coldly. The evil spirit of fighting giant beasts in those ten years was overflowing, "I am a princess, and what I say is an order! If you don't understand, learn from me! Keep up!"
After finishing speaking, Her Royal Highness waved her sleeves and walked straight forward...
