Chapter 58: Preparation
This is the end of the clan's records, and Fina, as the queen of the Chanting Clan, is eligible to see the information recorded by the three queens upon their return.
But she couldn't understand what happened to the three queens, and she didn't know what had happened to them or what had happened.
After a moment of thought and reminiscence, the Queen of Chanting opened her eyes from the wicker chair in the Presbyterian Chamber to see that the priestess she had reported to her was still kneeling on the ground.
"What's your name?"
"Lenia, Your Majesty, my name is Lenia, and I am the fifth priest in the order of the Bard Priesthoods......"
"Very well, Lenia, your High Priest is now in a coma, and until she comes to her senses, you will temporarily take the position of High Priest."
Suddenly, without warning, Fina issued a warrant of appointment to Lenia.
The priest Lenia, who received this "gift package", suddenly broke out in a bean-sized cold sweat on her forehead.
"This ......"
"Do you have any questions?"
"No... No, Your Majesty, Lenia is happy to serve the Clan......"
If it were usual, the sudden designation of the high priest of the clan might even make Rhineya's heart stop beating with excitement.
You know, the high priest is the highest authority in the Chanting clan except for the queen, and even has a high status in the entire Amazon tribe.
But now?
The high priest of Anji had just been put on death row, and the second high priest fell into an unexplained coma on the spot during the sacrifice.
This position has suddenly turned into a hot potato, and the successor can have all kinds of terrible accidents at any time.
But what could she do?
Her Majesty directly ordered her to take over the position of high priestess, and even if she didn't want to come out to take this thunder now, she would never dare to disobey the queen's will.
You know, Fina is not a soft-hearted and benevolent lord, and compared to the accidents that may occur when she is a high priest, Lenia does not want to be killed by Her Majesty on the spot right here.
"Very good, then you can go down first, remember, continue to hold the sacrifice to the goddess, you can't stop for a moment, and the goddess must report to me immediately if she has any response, understand?"
Fina's words made Lenia tremble, and the bitterness on her face couldn't help but become three points thicker.
"It's... Her Majesty. But she could only say yes and pray in her heart that disaster would not happen to her.
"Very good, you go down, I still have some business, I want to go out for a while." Fina didn't care what the subordinate she had just appointed as the "High Priest" thought, and Lenia was nothing more than a consumable substitute in her mind.
After Lenia stepped back, Fina took her dark gold spear from the armrest of the wicker chair and stood up to leave the Presbyterian Church.
At that moment, the sound of Nouam's bulky footsteps suddenly came from outside the door of the secret room.
"Your Majesty, Trigi would like to meet you and discuss the third challenge with you."
"I don't have time to see her now, let her figure it out on her own!"
Fina frowned impatiently, a few minutes ago, Trigi's affairs would be her first priority at the moment.
But now, after receiving another response from the goddess, she has no time to spend on these "children's play" games.
"But... Your Majesty, the third challenge is not good for Choiji......"
"I said, let her figure it out on her own!
I had already given her the opportunity in the second challenge, but she didn't grasp it.
If you can't make up for the missed opportunity, let her abstain from the third challenge! ”
After Fina said this coldly, she left without looking back from the exit on the other side of the secret room that connected to the rattan bridge outside the house.
She was now anxious to investigate the "Tide Stone" to see if the goddess's reply would have anything to do with those few events back then.
Outside the door of the secret room, Nuam stood silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly, and looked back at Cui Ji who was standing behind her.
"You also heard it, Her Majesty will not see you."
“... I understand. Trigi's face was calm and indifferent, and there was no hint of disappointment in the words that came out of his mouth.
She just replied calmly, and then silently turned away from the Council of Elders.
It wasn't until she was far enough away from the Council of Elders that the calm mask on Trigi's face was torn off by her, revealing an extremely hideous look instead.
"Give me a chance?! She's just taking advantage of me! Now I'm worthless, and I'm thrown out in no time!
Very good, very good! I'll make you all understand......"
Triggie turned his head viciously, and the snake pupils hidden under the deadwood mask glanced at the painted roof of the Elders' Church in the distance with a vicious gaze, and then quickly hid his emotions and walked briskly towards his residence in the Punisher Camp.
On the other side, in a makeshift camp set up by the String Song Clan outside the city, Queen Sarah is meeting with the twin sisters and Irene's team.
They are all successful in the second challenge, and tomorrow they will compete in the gladiatorial arena of the third challenge to qualify for the promotion ceremony.
At this point, no one would easily give up a promotion that might be their own profession for any reason, even if Erin's team and the twin sisters had just teamed up in their second challenge.
Even Erin's small team has actually collapsed at this point, they themselves are a temporary team that has been gathered together because they want to increase their probability of passing the challenge, and now they are about to enter confrontation mode, in this case, no one can still maintain the so-called "team spirit".
So, there are actually three groups standing in front of Sarah now, a group of twin sisters, a group of Erin and one of her previous team members, Peggy, and a group of the two remaining team members who are usually good.
In the end, there is also a lone wanderer who has no team to form a team, and she will most likely be the random teammate of Trigi.
"Sisters, it is not easy for you to get to where you are now, and the final challenge will determine who among you will be an honorable member of the promotion ceremony.
Here, I would like to congratulate you in advance, because you have at least the courage to take this difficult step, whether you win or lose. ”
Sarah's face softened, especially when she saw the twin sisters.
The two girls really left a deep impression on her in the second challenge, and Xue Hua had already told her the story of how the sisters used tricks to separate strong enemies in the swamp to expose their weaknesses, and how they finally won the victory.
With such a mind, mutual trust and even inseparability, and even more perfectly, such outstanding talent, Sarah was very happy to receive such two students.
However, in an instant, the expression on the face of the Queen of String Song became serious again.
She straightened up and looked at the trial participants in front of her and said, "I'm sure you've heard about the conspiracy of the Chanting clan in the second challenge, the sisters of the Valkyrie Guard have already investigated, and the two original participants who passed the first challenge with you, the two sisters of the Sea Spear Clan, have disappeared without a trace.
I'm not reluctant to think so, but I'm sure they've been killed. ”
Sarah looked up at the lone wanderer at the end.
"Iruna, I'm not going to ask too much of you, but you'll have to protect yourself in the third challenge.
It is very likely that Cui Ji will make you the flag bearer, and you must know that if the flag bearer wants to surrender, it must be approved by his own group. ”
