As for the matter of choosing a husband for the princess at the celebration banquet … no one dared to mention it.
The monster that was beaten back to its original form by the high priest was still locked in a cage at this time. It was placed in the middle of the banquet, guarded by more than a dozen brave white-robed guards!
The nobles and ministers found all sorts of excuses and hurriedly left the palace with their children. They were the first batch of people who had received the holy water from the high priest. Naturally, they were anxious to go home.
Even the proud princess of the kingdom, Yamalana, was successfully replaced by the monster with the ability of transformation. Then, those who stayed with them every night, were already …
Once they thought that the beautiful figure who shared the bed with them was very likely to be the monster, these nobles didn't dare to be cold … even though the City of the Sun was full of martial arts.
But no matter how brave they were, once the name of controlling the monster spread … they would still meet on the city wall!
Therefore, the palace that was bustling for half a night suddenly quieted down … The princess was escorted back to her bedroom by the white-robed guards sent by the high priest because she was frightened tonight.
The Pharaoh of the kingdom and the high priest were discussing how to deal with the monster that pretended to be Princess Yamalana … The conversation between the Pharaoh and the high priest was blocked by everyone except for the guards outside the door, who could occasionally hear the Pharaoh's angry voice.
"He's probably angry because Princess Yamanlana was attacked by a giant beast …" The guards thought to themselves.
…
"Xie Jiatu!! I handed Yamalana to you, but you almost let her be killed by the monster … My patience with you is reaching its limit! "
The Pharaoh of the kingdom was sitting on the throne … At this moment, the Pharaoh of the kingdom who seemed to be a little weak in front of Yamalana and couldn't be tough … But the Pharaoh of the kingdom was actually very imposing — the real Pharaoh of the kingdom, the peak of the power of the kingdom.
"I didn't expect this to happen." The high priest said indifferently, "Of course, I'm not shirking my responsibility … I did not do well in this matter. From now on, I will take good care of the princess. "
"She is not allowed to fight the monster again!" The Pharaoh of the kingdom said again in a deep voice.
High Priest … Xie Jiatu said, "You were the one who agreed to let her go to war with the behemoths … If you don't agree, you can only tell her yourself."
The Pharaoh snorted and said, "Do you think I don't know Yamanlana's character? She is just like her mother. Once she has decided on something, not even ten horses can pull her back! "
High Priest Xie Jiatu took a deep look at the Pharaoh and slowly said, "Since you know that her personality is the same as her mother's … then, has her mother ever listened to my advice?"
"You …" The Pharaoh of the kingdom glared at the High Priest Xie Jiatu. But soon, he let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his body. He seemed to be tired … He waved his hand and said, "That's all for today … I will send an order to the minister tomorrow about forbidding Yamalana from fighting the giant beasts … As for Yamalana, I will find a way to deal with it myself. I don't need you!"
"Then …" High Priest Xie Jiatu said indifferently, "If there's nothing else, I'll return to the temple … I'll take the giant beast outside with me. This kind of giant beast with the ability to transform is very special. I need to study it carefully. "
Speaking of this matter, the Pharaoh of the kingdom was probably not much different from those ministers who left in a hurry. He was also worried that he might have become a man who could control beasts. He opened his mouth and said, "Xie Jiatu, is your holy water really useful?"
The High Priest who seemed to have seen through the Pharaoh of the kingdom said indifferently, "Don't worry, your new princess has no problem at all."
"I didn't mean that … Forget it." The Pharaoh of the kingdom shook his head and said, "Hurry up and take that monster away … The day of the longest night is almost here. Now, a giant beast with the ability to transform suddenly appeared, I don't know if it's good or bad. This time, Yamalana came back from the war, and the spies who came back earlier said that the size and number of the giant beasts in the desert seemed to have increased again … The day of the longest night this time? "
"God, will still protect this City of the Sun."
The voice of the High Priest seemed to still reverberate in this hall, but the Pharaoh of the kingdom could no longer see him … The High Priest had left, and only this old man who was sitting on the throne was left.
"God?" The Pharaoh of the kingdom whispered, "Even if it's God, who wants to take away mine … I will do whatever it takes to take God …"
He sighed, but his heart knew better than his hands that the power of God … was simply unmatched by mortals, especially in this City of the Sun.
At this moment.
In the empty royal hall, a voice suddenly sounded, "Sir, do you want to do something to God?"
The hall was still empty. The Pharaoh of the kingdom was shocked and looked around, but he didn't see anything — but he was sure that he heard something!
"Who is it! Come out! " The Pharaoh of the kingdom suddenly stood up from the throne. He was no longer young, and even his old figure seemed to have grown a few inches taller … His muscles were still strong, and his momentum had been hidden under that seemingly incompetent appearance.
He slowly pulled out the sword in the scepter that represented the royal power.
"I'm just a traveling merchant who came here by accident …"
The voice sounded again, "It's the ardent expectation in your heart that led me here … I feel a pure and great emotion. As a father, do you want to consider buying something from me … Pharaoh of the kingdom. "
With the voice, in front of the Pharaoh of the kingdom, a figure slowly walked out of the air … The Pharaoh of the kingdom suddenly opened his mouth.
What he saw was actually a young man dressed as a royal guard.
The Pharaoh of the kingdom was stunned at first, and then he frowned … His eyes suddenly shrank, and he asked in a deep voice, "You are Ibn … the person chosen by Yamana?"
The young guard … Boss Luo blinked, and then he suddenly realized, and then he thought for a while and said, "I see … Pharaoh, your relationship with this high priest seems to be more complicated than I thought."
The Pharaoh just kept silent, but his eyes didn't blink, and he stared at Luoqiu in front of him. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "I don't care who you are … You just have to answer my question, can I believe you?"
Luoqiu thought for a while, and didn't say anything. He just slowly took out the earring that Princess Yamana had given to him.
The Pharaoh of the kingdom suddenly became excited, and he walked forward … He even walked down a few steps, and then he suddenly stopped.
His lips moved, and his voice even became a little hoarse, and he said softly, "This is … this is Yamana's mother's thing, the only thing she left for me."
"Her Royal Highness's birth mother?" Boss Luo nodded, "I asked around, it seems that the Pharaoh only has one princess now … No one seems to have mentioned the queen."
The Pharaoh of the kingdom shook his head, and then he slowly sat down. He was no longer sitting on the throne, but the stairs that led to the throne … He even seemed to be staggering.
His voice was not only hoarse, but also sorrowful, "She … she turned into a pile of sand in the end, and it was right in front of my … my eyes."
The Pharaoh of the kingdom slowly closed his eyes at this time, and sighed deeply, as if he was immersed in some kind of sad memory …
…
…
"Your Royal Highness, the high priest has ordered that you need to rest here tonight, and you can't leave."
When Claudia was about to walk out of the bedroom, she was blocked by two white-robed guards — Of course, she was not as brave as the real Princess Yamana, who could fight against more than ten white-robed guards and still hold on for a while.
She was probably the type that would be beaten down in less than three seconds … So this [Royal Highness] could only leave in embarrassment, but she kept cursing the high priest in her heart!
This high priest had the same appearance as her father, Xie Jiatu, but now she knew that this high priest was not as good as those people in the City of the Sun said!
This high priest actually turned the real Princess Yamanlana into a monster and trapped her!
Claudia knew that she was the fake one — the high priest had probably recognized her when he saw her climbing down from the attic!
But why didn't the high priest point it out? Why did he let the real Princess Yamana drink the [Holy Water] and turn her into that ugly monster?
What was his real intention?
Claudia walked back and forth in the room anxiously … The keyword [Holy Water] kept appearing in her mind at this time!
"He wants … wants to let all the people in the city drink the [Holy Water]?" Suddenly, a horrible conjecture occupied all of Claudia's mind!
It was said that this high priest had left the temple in the kingdom some time ago, and no one knew where he went. He suddenly returned to the celebration banquet today …
"He didn't say that I was the fake one … He used the [Holy Water] to turn the real princess into a monster, saying that she was a giant beast." Claudia gradually felt a chill on her back, "He wants everyone to drink the [Holy Water] … If the people who drink the [Holy Water] will turn into monsters, then everyone in the City of the Sun will become … become monsters?"
In an instant, Claudia realized a shocking conspiracy and exclaimed in a low voice, "Is this high priest … Is he the real giant beast?! His purpose is to destroy the entire City of the Sun from the inside? "
At this time, a figure quietly climbed into the room.
"It seems that something unspeakable has happened to you."
Claudia was startled and looked toward the source of the voice, only to see a figure leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed.
It was Mr. Ao Tuo, who had snuck away in the crowd before the banquet started!
"You bastard, how dare you … Wait, how did you come in?" Claudia suddenly frowned!
In order to prevent her from leaving, the High Priest had clearly arranged for white-robed guards with astonishing martial prowess to be stationed all around the palace!
"Of course, I walked in openly." Mr. Otto didn't care at all, "The two guards outside your room seem to be asleep."
Claudia naturally didn't believe him. She quickly walked to the door and opened it to take a look … She saw that the two white-robed guards were indeed on the ground. However, they clearly weren't asleep, but had fainted … She could tell that they had been knocked unconscious from their posture.
This Ao Tuo, he had actually quietly taken away these two white-robed guards …
"Where did you go?" Claudia turned around and hurried to Mr. Otto's side, "Do you know that a lot of things happened just now?"
"I roughly know what happened." Mr. Otto nodded, "Her Royal Highness turned into a terrifying monster in front of everyone … right?"
Claudia nodded, "And, I suspect that this is a conspiracy of the high priest. His purpose is actually …"
Mr. Otto made a gesture of silence at this time, "Claudia, right? Professor Xie Jiatu's daughter. "
"What's wrong?" Claudia was suddenly stunned … Right, this Mr. Otto was not the one she saw when she came here, but the one who walked out of the oasis and lost part of his memory … Was it Otto from half a year ago?
"I'm actually not very interested in what you found." Mr. Otto said indifferently, "I'm not very interested in what this Sun City will become. Because … Please remember, no matter what this place becomes, no matter what happens here, we don't belong here. We're just travelers lost in this strange place … It's that simple. "
Claudia couldn't find a reason to refute Otto's words … Why should she care about what happened in this place?
Why should she worry about the people in this Sun City?
Was it just because she looked like the real Princess Yamalana … But she wasn't the real princess of the kingdom!
"Leave here right now!" Claudia suddenly shivered and blurted out.
Mr. Otto smiled at this time, "That's the right choice … Yes, we should leave this place indeed."
Taking advantage of the darkness and the fact that the two unconscious white-robed guards had yet to wake up, Mister Otto and Claudia quietly left the palace that belonged to the princess.
…
Slap, knock … angry roar.
Imagine the appearance of a lion trapped in a narrow cage on the grassland … It was the appearance of the monster in the cage at this time.
Monster … Princess Yamalana.
Its eyes were cloudy, without any spirituality.
It had been frantically trying to destroy the cage that imprisoned it … Its cries were like the sound of the wind passing through the canyon, loud and terrifying.
But here … in this temple built in the depths of the palace, such a sound could not attract anyone. Outside the prison, there were elite white-robed guards of the temple. They stood tall and straight like statues, not moving at all.
They didn't react until the high priest finally arrived, slowly opening the gate of the prison behind them.
The high priest silently walked into the depths of the prison, standing in front of the cage, quietly looking at the crazy ugly monster in the cage.
The moment the monster saw him, it became more manic … Its hands grasped the iron bars of the cage, and its eyes suddenly became red.
"Don't hate me, Yamalana …" The high priest said slowly.
