Claudia only felt a chill all over her body. There were some things she didn't even want to think about, but in addition to her body trembling uncontrollably in fear, there was also her mind … Her mind was running uncontrollably.
How did the high priestess know her name? She had never revealed her real name to anyone in the City of the Sun. Even Ibn had mistaken her for Princess Yamanlana at the beginning.
Therefore, in theory, there were only two people in Sun City who knew her name … Otto and Luoqiu.
Otto had been caught by the high priest in front of her eyes, and as for Luoqiu, he was still uncontactable … Could it be that under the high priest's interrogation, Otto had already told her everything, including the fact that they actually came from the outside world of Sun City …
No … it's not like that. In fact, there is another possibility!
A possibility that she subconsciously didn't want to believe, and even instinctively didn't want to verify — the high priest in front of her and her father, Professor Xie Jiatu, were the same person!
This could even easily explain a lot of things. For example, the artifact that Princess Yamalana had … It was clearly a gun made by humans outside. It was brought to this Sun City by his father, Professor Xie Jiatu, and he gave it to Princess Yamalana, claiming that it was a gift from the True God.
For example, why was someone who looked like Arria called Ibn here, while the Grand Shaman used the same name, regardless of whether he was here or outside?
Even … at this moment, the high priest revealed a feeling that Claudia was very familiar with — earlier, she quietly planned to sneak away from the banquet attic. When she first met the high priest, it was because of this feeling that made her jump into his arms without hesitation.
"You … who are you?"
Countless questions emerged in Claudia's mind — Is the man in front of her the real high priest, or is the beast pretending to be the high priest, or is he … the real Professor Xie Jiatu?
The high priest said indifferently at this time, "Claudia, don't you believe in me?"
"I believe …"
Claudia only felt the feeling of dizziness hit her again, and it was unusually heavy … Her eyelids gradually closed, and finally, her vision turned black, and she completely lost consciousness.
Her body fell, but before she hit the ground, the high priestess took a step forward and supported her body.
"I'm Xie Jiatu." The high priest whispered in Claudia's ear, "No matter where I am, I only have one identity …"
He helped Claudia onto the bed and took out the flask again. Then, he slowly poured the liquid into her mouth.
Not long after, the high priest left the princess's chamber and prepared to return to the temple.
"Tonight is much longer than usual." The High Priest suddenly stopped and stared at the moon in the night sky.
The white-robed guard beside him stepped forward and said, "Perhaps it's because the longest night is approaching."
The High Priest suddenly said, "When the day of the longest night arrives … it will be the day of God's death."
As the white-robed guard approached, he naturally heard what the High Priest had said. His expression immediately changed as he looked at the black-robed man in front of him in shock and fear … His forehead was unknowingly covered in fine beads of sweat.
"It's just a joke." The High Priest glanced at him casually and said in an unexpected tone, "After all, in the entire Sun City, only I can make this kind of joke … If I don't say it, how can you hear it?"
"High … High Priest?" The white-robed guard felt a chill run down his spine.
The High Priest shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back. In his black robe, he soon merged with the darkness before dawn.
…
…
Iben actually woke up halfway, but when he found that he was actually dragged forward by that terrifying guy, he was instantly scared and fainted again.
So, this was the second time he woke up … His nerves naturally adapted to the current fear a little bit.
The surrounding walls were made of stone, so it wasn't dark at all. Instead, it was unusually bright … The light from the fire, the light from the oil lamp! A huge shadow was now on the wall behind Iben, standing side by side with him.
He looked at the huge shadow on the wall in horror, and his neck stiffened … He immediately bit his finger and moved his eyes bit by bit. Finally, he saw the source of this huge shadow!
It came from the light from the fire — It was the terrifying guy who dragged him to this place!
Iben could only see the back of that thing clearly … Its back was full of coarse gray hair! Iben swore that he had never seen anything with such hair in his memory!
Its back was facing Iben, and it seemed to be eating something … Beside it was a pile of scattered gray bones — Judging from the different degrees of decay of these bones, this terrifying thing seemed to have lived here for a while.
These … were all human bones?
Iben's teeth couldn't help but start to tremble. He swallowed his saliva, and while this terrifying thing was eating with its back to him, he quietly got up and moved his feet, walking to the place that seemed to be the door.
After two steps, Iben looked back in fear. Seeing that this terrifying thing was still eating and didn't care about him, he secretly sighed in relief and continued to move forward quietly.
After a few times, the door was finally in front of him. Iben couldn't help but become more nervous … He reached his hand to the door, preparing to push it open and then run away recklessly — He didn't want to become this monster's food.
But at this moment!
Bang —!
Something knocked on the wall, Iben was startled, instinctively holding his head and squatting on the ground, screaming in horror, "Don't eat me! Don't eat me! I … I … I haven't eaten the thing in my stomach today! I … I really, really don't taste good —! "
Cluck cluck cluck …
Something seemed to roll to Iben's feet. He opened his eyes and saw that it was a bone that hadn't been eaten completely … It looked like a leg bone or something!
Iben's eyes suddenly turned dark, and it seemed that he was about to faint again. But the terrifying thing with gray hair suddenly stood up.
"This time, if you fall asleep again, I will consider eating you."
"Don't … don't … don't eat … eat?" Iben was lying on the ground, begging for mercy in horror, but now he suddenly raised his head — Did he hear it wrong?
This terrifying fellow could actually speak?
Iben's eyes widened, and his body couldn't help but tremble … But the appearance of the person gradually became clear — he finally saw the person's appearance!
A body covered in long grey fur … It turned out to be the fur of an unknown beast that was draped over his body. This fellow was clearly a human!
It was a guy wearing animal skin and a mask made from the skull of a strange beast. The beast skull mask made this guy look very terrifying … especially in the dim environment!
"You … you?" Iben opened his mouth, and after knowing that the person was a human, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and sat on the ground as if all his strength had been drained — he pressed his palm on the bone that rolled over.
Iben subconsciously picked it up and found that it wasn't a human bone … it seemed to be a cow bone.
The other party didn't say anything and just sat down in front of Iben. Wearing the beast skin and the beast skull, he looked much bigger than Iben. The pressure made Iben, who had relaxed a little, tense up again.
After a while.
"This … brother?" Iben asked tentatively, "How … how should I address you?"
"Night Watcher." He suddenly said a name, "You can call me by my name, Night Watcher."
"Night Watcher?" Iben nodded subconsciously, looked around and pointed, "Where … where is this?"
Iben was a little confused by the attitude of the night watcher, but he still replied indifferently, "This is the basement of the former Queen's bedroom."
"The former Queen?" Iben jumped up in shock, and said exaggeratedly, "Here?"
The night watcher just glanced at him casually and did not have much reaction.
Iben calmed down, sat down again, and said to himself, "I heard that the former Queen died suddenly, and no one knows the cause of death … There are many rumors that the former Queen was killed by someone, and her soul has been staying in the place where she used to live after she died …"
Iben quietly looked at the night watcher in front of him and said subconsciously, "It is said that something terrible will appear in the former Queen's bedroom … Could it be you?"
"I didn't know before." The night watcher said indifferently, "But now, it is probably me."
"Who are you? Why are you hiding here and pretending to be like this to scare the palace people? "Iben couldn't help but frown.
The night watcher said indifferently, "Compared to this, why are you here … You are a palace guard, don't you know that this is a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter?"
Iben leaned against the wall and said with a smile, "Others are others, and I am me, how is it the same? Brother, if you want to know, it's simple … Tell me where you come from first. "
The night watcher shook his head, "Then don't say it … Anyway, if you stay here for a long time, you will definitely not be able to hold back … You look like the type who can't keep secrets."
You are a f * cking big mouth …
Ibben was not happy. He sneered and suddenly jumped up. "Let me see what you look like … You're just pretending to be a ghost! Today, I will teach you what a master is! "
Three seconds later.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Hero, please spare me! I was wrong … I was wrong, okay? "
"Not good!" The night watcher sneered.
At this moment, he sat on Ibben's body and casually picked up a bloody bone that was still attached to the flesh and began to gnaw on it.
Iben didn't know that he was so weak that he was finished off in a few moves … He wanted to cry but had no tears, he kept begging for mercy, and finally, he told the night watcher why he was here.
"… That's what happened." Iben stretched his body with both hands and tried to look back at the night watcher who was sitting on him, "Brother … Can you not sit on me?"
"Can't." The night watcher threw away the bone in his hand, after wiping the blood on his mouth, he asked indifferently, "You said that in addition to you, there were three people who sneaked into the palace with you, and one of them looked exactly like Princess Yamalana … Where are they?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Iben said helplessly, "I don't know how I fainted, and after I woke up, I ran to this place … I don't know? Brother? Can you get up first, my waist? "
The night watcher ignored Iben's croaking, he muttered to himself, "Princess Yamalana? Did … Did someone else come in from outside? "
"Outside? What outside? "Iben said subconsciously," Outside the palace? Who else is there besides us? "
The night watcher ignored him, stood up directly, and then walked to the corner of the basement, which was covered with a huge cloth. The night watcher lifted the cloth, revealing the things inside.
Ibben had never seen many of these things before, but there was one thing that looked very familiar to him. Abruptly, Ibben slapped his head and exclaimed, "Divine … Divine Artifact?! Divine Artifact?! You … You also have a divine artifact? "
Crack —!
The Night Watcher swiftly loaded the black pistol in Ibben's hand with a bullet clip.
"Brother, who the hell are you?" Ibn approached and asked nervously.
The night watcher glanced at him and pointed the divine artifact at Iben … and pressed it against his forehead — Iben raised his hands subconsciously, "Bo … Brother, I … I shouldn't ask, shouldn't ask …"
The night watcher suddenly said, "Iben, right?"
Iben nodded subconsciously, "Go ahead!"
The night watcher said directly, "Now there's a chance to make a lot of money … There's a chance to get a great fortune in front of you, do you want it?"
"A great fortune?" Iben was suddenly spirited, even forgetting the fear brought by the divine artifact on his forehead. His eyes lit up, "What's that?"
"Accompany me to kill the high priest." The night watcher sneered.
Iben blinked … and then fainted on the ground, motionless — The night watcher raised his foot and was about to step on Iben's crotch.
Iben hurriedly rolled to one side, scrambled up in a panic, and said with a bitter face, "Brother … I need to be alive to enjoy the great fortune you mentioned … Kill the high priest? Am I crazy? "
"What if I say, as long as you can kill the high priest, I can take you out of Sun City, or even …" The night watcher said in a low voice, "Out of this desert?"
Iben, "!!"
