Chapter 1320: High Priest
I had heard the title 'High Priest' a little in my previous life, and this hearing was also related to a foreign movie - "The Mummy".
There was an infatuated man named Immorton in it, and he was the High Priest.
Other than that, my knowledge of the high priest is like a blank slate.
As soon as I entered the door of the mansion, I was dazzled by a white expanse, and I was amazed, I was almost in the world of white jade!
The white jade floor, the white jade walls, the white jade carvings, the white jade furnishings, in addition to the living people around them, the things you see in front of you are all carved from white jade!
"It's so luxurious!" I couldn't help but wonder.
"This way, please," the man led me to a small room.
When they arrived at the door of the room, the four of them lined up on both sides, and the man who led the way said, "Please come in." ”
"It'......" I pointed to the door of my room, casting a puzzled look at him.
He nodded: "The High Priestess is waiting for you inside. ”
The door was halfway open, and he looked curiously into the room through the door that had been pushed open, but he couldn't see the situation inside.
The light in the small room was poor, only a few not-so-bright philosopher's stones were trying to release their light, trying to illuminate the entire room, but unfortunately, their light could only spread more than a meter away, and could not cover the entire room.
I wondered, since I could build an entire mansion out of this precious white jade, why not buy a brighter Philosopher's Stone to brighten up the room?
As I thought, I stepped into the room and closed the door at the same time.
"You're curious, right, An Xiaoyi?"
An old voice suddenly came from the corner and startled me.
Looking closely, in a dark corner, where the light could not be covered, there was a black mass standing there, motionless, like an ornament.
If it weren't for that sentence, I wouldn't even know it was a person!
The black thing slowly grew taller, and I knew that this man was slowly standing up, and he was standing up very slowly, like a snail crawling.
I was a little hesitant to come forward and help.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard two light coughs, and the person in the corner said, "Come here, help me." ”
I looked around, but I didn't see anyone else, so I pointed at myself.
"Yes, it's you" he coughed again, "Is there anyone else in this room besides you?" ”
I didn't want to, so I slipped out: "And you ......"
"Well, you're right, but do you think I can support myself?"
"Uh...... No. ”
"That's right," he said, "come and help me." ”
"Yes."
As soon as I took a step, I suddenly stopped: "You don't want to take the opportunity of me to help you take the opportunity to fall to the ground and touch porcelain, right?" ”
"Hehe......" his laughter was helpless: "Do you think I need to lie to you?" ”
"Uh...... Quite right. ”
The materials used to build a mansion are sky-high, and besides, he is not limited to this mansion, so it is impossible for him to be short of money.
And just four of his attendants could be treated so highly in the locality, not to mention himself.
How could such a rich and powerful old man touch me and slander me!
When I think about it, I can't help but feel amused by my sensitivity.
Reaching out to hold his arm, he had just taken two steps, but when he saw him stumble and plant himself on the ground.
Huh?
Touching porcelain?
I was so shocked that I wanted to let go of my hand, but unexpectedly, my arm was so strong that I couldn't break free.
For a moment, my heart hung high, just like the feeling of a person with a fear of heights when he stood on dozens of floors and looked down, weak, and his limbs were cold.
However, the old man's body suddenly stopped, and just hung quietly in the air, neither up nor down.
I was in shock, when I saw an old face slowly turn to me and grin: "How is it, surprise or not?" ”
I'm glad your mom is big, it's so shocking!
As soon as I lifted the old man up, I let go of my hand, wiped my sweat, took a long breath, and said, "I said how old your old man is, why are you still like a child!" ”
"Isn't it good to have a childlike heart?" He smiled, stood up, slowly walked to the wooden table at the back of the room, pulled over a chair, sat down, and at the same time, took off his hood, revealing his true face.
It was indeed an old face, but it was very well maintained, and there was a faint kind smile on that old face, which felt very kind at first glance - if she hadn't teased me before, I would have regarded her as a grandmother at first glance.
Yes, she's a woman, an old woman, so old that she can't tell a man or a woman by her voice alone, that's why I'll always think of her as him.
"You're the High Priest?" I should be the first to speak, and I will speak.
"It's like a fake," she said.
"Did you call me for something?"
"Of course," said the high priest, "if it's all right, why should I call you, I'm very busy." ”
"Busy?"
I looked at her with suspicion.
If you're busy, do you still have time to tease me?
"You kid, you must be scolding me in your heart again," the high priest said.
I was taken aback, but my expression was calm, and I said, "How can it be, you are a noble high priest, I still can't respect you, how can I scold you." ”
"I've lived so long, I won't even be able to see if you scold me or not," said the high priest, "However, I prefer the front than scolding me in my heart than scolding me in front of me, at least, I can't hear it." ”
This high priest seems to be completely different from what he imagined, not only does he not have the slightest arrogance, but he even speaks so naughtily.
Because of the gap between reality and ideals, I was speechless to the high priest in front of me.
"That's why I've said it, keeping a childlike heart can make me look younger," the high priest said.
"Can you hear my thoughts?" I was amazed.
"No," said the high priest, "but didn't I say it just now, I have lived a long time, and I have long understood people's hearts." ”
"How long did you live?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm......" She pinched her chin and was silent for a long time, then changed to rubbing her temples, and was silent for a long time again, and finally, she sighed: "I have forgotten the exact time, but I remember very well that I served the Great Fairy Empress." ”
"The Fairy Empresses seem to be great, but which one do you serve?"
The high priestess of "Empress Ophelia" had a serious face and a reverent tone, exuding deep nostalgia and unrelieved reluctance.
"Empress Ophelia...... I remember ......"
"Yes," she said, "you have seen her image in the tomb and returned her scepter to her descendants, although it is only half a root, but your actions at that time have already interpreted the nobility of your heart, which is why I will summon you at this time." ”
"You're saying that you've planned to summon me from the beginning?"
"It's not my plan," she said lightly, "it's the future that will happen." ”
