Under normal circumstances, if Boss Luo wanted to go shopping, he would not be stopped … No one could stop him.
So as they walked, Claudia and Mr. Ao Tuo were suddenly separated from Boss Luo … After a while, Claudia realized that Luoqiu, who was beside her, was missing.
"When did you get lost?" Only she and Mr. Ao Tuo were left, Claudia's tone was somewhat unfriendly … and even guarded.
Mr. Ao Tuo, who was asked this question, frowned at this time. Apparently, he was seriously thinking about this question — He recalled the details along the way.
Since they knocked Ibben out and hid him, they followed several servants and wanted to go to the banquet in the palace … During this process, he actually talked with Luoqiu.
Luoqiu even asked him a few questions seemingly casually — For example, he asked if he knew about the [Gospel of Judas] and what he thought about it.
Although Mr. Ao Tuo was curious about why this young man suddenly asked these questions, he simply said some words that Claudia had heard before — on the way to the oasis.
But this conversation was almost the same as when they were walking in the oasis … Claudia couldn't figure out why Luoqiu asked again.
But the memory … seemed to have stopped here — After the question, it seemed that they didn't notice the existence of Boss Luo anymore. Until now, they didn't even know when they lost him.
"There is no other way." Mr. Otto quickly made a decision. "Our goal is to find Princess Yamalana, and he knows that … Instead of looking for him, it's better to go to the banquet directly. There's a high chance that we'll meet him there."
"That's the only way …"
Claudia shook her head. She felt that after Luoqiu was not around, the uneasiness in her heart suddenly increased to the max … She subconsciously moved away from Mr. Ao Tuo by more than one step.
At this time.
"Your Highness!"
A young man, who was dressed up, shouted from afar with a face full of surprise … At this time, the young man quickly walked over, "I didn't expect to see you so soon! Your Highness Princess Yamanlana! "
Claudia cursed in her heart, but at this moment, she recalled what Mr. Otto had said before. She could only bite the bullet and pretend to be cold as she replied expressionlessly.
"Who are you?" Claudia asked indifferently. "Have I ever seen you before?"
"I am the son of the Minister of Agriculture. Your Highness, you can call me Mani!" At this time, the young man introduced himself enthusiastically and said that he specially came to attend the banquet today.
"Oh, really?" Claudia nodded. "I was planning to go to the banquet as well … Since we've met, let's go together."
How could Moni, the son of the Minister of Agriculture, say no?
He was instantly overjoyed, and walked in front with his head held high, feeling as if he was walking on the path to the peak of his life.
On the other hand, Claudia felt as though she was walking on a path of no return … Once her fake identity was exposed, she didn't know if she could even kill her way out of the banquet hall with the weapons in her hands, let alone charge out of the palace!
…
Strictly speaking, the temple and the palace of the entire City of the Sun seemed to be one … The temple was in the deepest part of the palace, and the palace was actually built according to the location of the temple.
Only the members of the royal family were qualified to enter the temple through various checks.
As the most famous member of the royal family, Princess Yamanlana naturally recognized the guards along the way, so she was unimpeded all the way.
Although they were guards, in fact, these guards were not under the management of the palace — they were subordinate to the temple, and only the Pharaoh of the kingdom and the high priest of the temple could order them … Basically, the high priest's order was superior to that of the Pharaoh of the kingdom.
The reason why Princess Yamanlana was unimpeded all the way was naturally because of the artifact in her hand — This was given to Princess Yamanlana by the God of Sun himself. For the guards of the temple, it was no different from a holy object. Naturally, Princess Yamanlana was equivalent to a saintess to them, an agent chosen by their True God to enter the human world.
How could the guards of the temple stop the saintess of the temple — as long as the saintess could appear here.
"Where's the high priest?" Princess Yamanlana, who had completely entered the temple, met a priest and asked directly.
The priest replied, "After entering the palace more than a month ago, the high priest didn't come back. He just said that he had to go on a long journey, but he would come back on the day when the night was the longest."
The high priest was the national master of the kingdom, and also the teacher of Princess Yamanlana since she was a child … Princess Yamanlana nodded slightly and waved her hand to let the priest go.
Interestingly, as a saintess, her power in the temple was even greater than that of the Pharaoh of the kingdom, but as a princess, she couldn't enter the temple at will … Of course, if she wanted to enter the temple, the Pharaoh of the kingdom couldn't stop her.
This was the relationship between the Pharaoh of the kingdom and the princess.
Princess Yamanlana walked into the Room of Gods alone … It was the place where the high priest listened to the oracles of the true god — only those who were chosen by the true god could have the ability to communicate with it directly.
Although Princess Yamanlana was given an artifact by the true god, she actually didn't know whether she was really chosen by the true god … She could only listen to the voice of the true god occasionally and unilaterally.
The Room of Gods wasn't a luxurious place, it was just a dim and narrow stone room … There wasn't even any decoration here, and there was no place to sit.
But when Princess Yamanlana walked into the Room of Gods, the whole simple stone room was suffused with an orange-red light … It wasn't strong, just like the afterglow of the sunset.
The princess knelt down on one knee and prayed piously … After a while, she stood up and raised her head, saying, "Great God of the Sun, why don't you guide me … The speed of reproduction of the desert beasts is faster than before. If it goes on like this, the next time the longest night comes, I'm afraid that the Sun City won't be able to defend itself …"
The stone room was so quiet that Princess Yamanlana seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat … The true god didn't take the initiative to answer her question.
Princess Yamanlana waited for a long time, and finally sighed slowly … She lowered her head in disappointment, and finally knelt down on the ground, and prayed piously again.
After doing all this, Princess Yamanlana walked to the wall in front of the stone room with a solemn face, and reached out to press a brick in the middle.
The brick sank into the wall, and at the same time, another part of the wall opened instantly — the wall that was turned over was obviously a stone shelf.
Princess Yamanlana walked quickly to the front of the stone shelf, and glanced at the shelf — she reached out and took out a box from the shelf — there were three similar boxes on the stone shelf at this time.
Princess Yamanlana opened the box in her hand, looked at the things inside, and sighed, saying, "Is this all that's left …"
Bullets … The box was full of bullets.
Taking a deep breath, the princess quickly calmed down, and quickly took out some bullets from the box, and then took out the artifact that she kept close to her body from her clothes, and then skillfully loaded the bullets into the pistol.
When she left the Room of Gods, the Room of Gods had returned to its original appearance … Princess Yamanlana left the Room of Gods, and walked alone in the empty temple. Seeing the afterglow of the setting sun had scattered into the temple, the princess couldn't help but frown, "The sunset is coming soon again. Maybe, I should once again … "
…
Princess Yamanlana soon left the temple, and returned to the palace … But she didn't want to go to the banquet immediately, so she walked alone in the courtyard of the palace.
While walking, Princess Yamanlana suddenly frowned, because she seemed to feel that there seemed to be someone looking at her from behind a tree, "Who's there? Come out! "
Princess Yamanlana, who was brave and good at fighting and had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, suddenly turned around, and smoothly took out the artifact that was hidden on her body.
The princess was even startled at this time … She didn't even realize that someone was so close to her, and she didn't even notice it until it was so close to her.
At this time, a figure slowly walked out from behind the tree.
Under the afterglow of the sunset, this figure slowly became clear in Princess Yamalana's eyes. He had a smile that she had never seen before, one that was as pure as a cloudless sky … There was even a little bird perched on his shoulder.
Holy Ibis, which was regarded as a sacred bird in the City of the Sun.
The princess couldn't help but frown. She knew that this sacred bird didn't like to come into contact with humans … Only a small number of Holy Ibis were kept in captivity in the palace, and they usually lived in the courtyard of the palace near the temple.
The person in front of her looked very young, and he was wearing the uniform of a palace guard — Obviously, he wasn't a guard of the temple.
At this time, facing Princess Yamanlana who was ready to fight, the guard just blinked his eyes, and curiously stared at the artifact … the pistol in the princess' hand.
The guard said curiously at this time, "Is this the so-called artifact given by the True God?"
"You don't know who I am?" Princess Yamanlana frowned, feeling that this guard's attitude was too weird … Every guard who saw her was in awe and trepidation.
Is he new here? No … Since he knows the artifact, he should know who I am.
"Princess Yamanlana, I know." The guard nodded, "I saw your triumphant return just now, it was so beautiful."
Princess Yamanlana frowned again, because this young guard didn't care about her at all, and even spoke in a frivolous tone. She snorted, but slowly took back the artifact in her hand … The education she received since childhood made her not use her royal power to bully a small guard … But the guard who didn't respect her made the princess feel uncomfortable.
"Are you new here?" The princess asked coldly, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
The guard said sincerely, "I'm new here indeed … I'm not even familiar with the roads here. If this is a place where I shouldn't be, I'll leave immediately, please don't worry."
'What's wrong with this guard … Is this the attitude he should have when meeting a member of the royal family?'
It was only because he met a princess like her that she often stayed in the military camp with the soldiers and had a mysterious experience that she didn't particularly care about social class … If it was any other royal family, they would have already punished this guard who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"It's not about whether you should be here or not." At this time, Her Royal Highness said indifferently, "But as a guard, instead of properly patrolling and guarding the palace, you came here to stroll … This is suspected of being lazy. Don't you know?"
'Isn't this too strict … He's just a newcomer, maybe the head of the guards hasn't had time to tell him the rules here.'
"I see …" The guard nodded, "It's my fault. I'll leave immediately, don't worry, Your Highness."
Princess Yamanlana shook her head. She didn't want to argue with such a simple-minded guy … When she was about to wave her hand to let the newcomer leave, the princess took a look at the young Holy Ibis standing on the shoulder of the newcomer.
'What's wrong with this Holy Ibis? It has been standing on the shoulder of the newcomer for a long time without leaving …' Princess Yamanlana couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Huh … It's injured?" Princess Yamanlana suddenly noticed that the wings of this Holy Ibis seemed to have been bandaged.
The guard nodded and said, "When I came here, I saw that its wings were injured, and it was leaning against a tree alone."
"You bandaged it?" The princess had already walked to the side of the guard, and directly reached out her hand to take this Holy Ibis down from the shoulder of the guard.
The Holy Ibis looked very docile in the hands of the princess.
"Just a simple bandage," the guard said casually. "I'm afraid that it will leave a wound in the future, but it shouldn't affect its flight … I'm quite confident in bandaging wounds, so don't worry, Your Highness."
"The Holy Ibis rarely touch others." Princess Yamanlana suddenly glanced at this young guard, and said meaningfully, "They can distinguish between those who are malicious and those who are kind. They are the sacred birds of the City of the Sun."
"It's still young, maybe it can't tell." Unexpectedly, the guard said carelessly.
Princess Yamanlana shook her head. She felt that this guard was very different from the other guards in the palace, so she asked directly, "What's your name?"
"Iben."
"Iben?" Princess Yamanlana nodded, then bent down, put down the Holy Ibis in her hands, and let it slowly walk into the grass in the courtyard. Then she said indifferently, "I like you very much, you can follow me in the future."
"Your Highness, I'm new here, so I'm afraid that I don't understand a lot of things." The guard shook his head.
The princess, who didn't expect to be rejected, snorted coldly, and the murderous aura that she had accumulated from fighting the giant beasts for ten years was overflowing, "I am the princess, and my words are orders! If you don't understand, then learn from me! Follow me! "
After saying that, the princess waved her sleeves and walked straight ahead …
