Therefore, there is a similarity between the high priest of the Zefeng Continent and the monks of the Azure Planet, that is, they both love to play Zen - say things that you don't understand.

What is the inevitable future, do you really think that you are a prophet, and you can know the past and the present with a finger?

I am not convinced of this.

God knows if it's because you've had a lot of eyes and ears and been watching me all the time to know my schedule.

With a skeptical attitude, I had a vague feeling that this so-called high priest might well be a careerist with great authority and at the same time a desire for greater authority.

"I'm very content with my present life," the high priest looked at me deeply, shook his head, and said, "So unlike you, I don't try to fight for more power, and I don't have the ambition of being as big as you. ”

"My ambition?"

"Child," the High Priestess slowly got up, and walked slowly towards me, with a cane taller than her, and she walked so slowly, so slowly that I don't know how long it took for her to finally stand in front of me.

At a distance of one meter, I could see her more clearly.

Even if she was well maintained, her face was still covered with fine lines, her skin was no longer as tight as that of a girl, and her cheeks drooped slightly, which made her tremble slightly when she breathed.

She has gray hair, but she is different from mine.

My silver hair is natural, and she has gradually lost her former green silk because of the changes of time.

She's not tall, and even if she stands upright, she won't reach my shoulders, and besides, she's still hunched over like a bow.

"Child," she exhaled softly, breathing a little shorter: "Don't use your young mind to speculate on an old man who has lived for a thousand years, I am no longer young, and many things are no longer extravagant, now I just want to continue to live peacefully, as usual." ”

"Bask in the sun, blow the breeze" She closed her eyes, opened her arms, and greeted the darkness: "Smell the flowers, smell the birds." ”

Lowering her hands, she turned around and opened her eyes: "Do you understand?" ”

“...... I see. ”

This answer contains countless apologies, and I really shouldn't use my narrow mind to speculate on an old man who longs for a peaceful life.

She walked back to her seat, sat down slowly, and beckoned to me, "Child, come here, sit and talk." ”

Walking up and sitting down across from her, the high priest smiled and said, "Child, you can ask me any questions. ”

"Isn't it your time to ask me questions?"

"Answer all the doubts in your heart first, and then you can answer my questions with confidence, right?"

"......" exhaled, and I said, "You're right, then, can you ask any questions?" ”

She nodded.

After pondering for a moment, I said, "I remember you just said that the Moonlight Scepter I obtained in the ancient tomb is only half of it, that is, it actually has the other half, right?" ”

"Yes," said the High Priest, "there is indeed another half of the Moonlight Scepter. ”

"Excuse me, where is the other half?"

"In the forbidden place of the Moonlight City Imperial Palace."

"Moonlight City Palace Forbidden Land? Now that she's there, the Fairy Empress should have a chance to merge the Moonlight Scepter into one! ”

"There's a chance."

I didn't understand: "But why didn't she do that?" ”

"Because now is not the time to get your other half back," the high priest said.

"Are you worried about Akahavi?" I wondered, "Is he already so powerful?" ”

The high priest did not answer, she laughed and said nothing.

I grabbed my hair, and then I suddenly remembered that I had become bald, and I couldn't help coughing embarrassedly, and said, "Uh...... Isn't that so? ”

The high priest remained silent with a smile.

This...... What does this Nima mean by just laughing but not talking?

Could it be ......

"You mean, can't this matter be leaked?"

This time the High Priestess said yes, but she still didn't speak, just nodded.

I pursed my lips and muttered, "I thought you could really answer any of my questions." ”

"Of course I can answer, and I do," the high priest smiled, "It's just that some questions I answer with my mouth, and some questions I answer with my heart." ”

That's okay too......

I'll kneel for you.

However, since there are questions that can be answered with your mouth, it means that there is still value in asking me.

"High Priest, do you know where Akahavi is hiding?"

The high priest laughed but said nothing.

"Do you know why he became the way he is?"

"Cruel by nature, bewitched by men."

"Seduced? Do you know who bewitched him? ”

"Outsiders."

"Outsiders?" I looked confused: "What outsiders?" ”

The high priest laughed but said nothing.

"Well, next question ......"

In this way, I asked more than a dozen questions in a row, some related to privacy, some related to the world pattern, and some related to some secret tombs, some questions, the high priest answered immediately, some questions, the high priest only said half of them, and some questions, she smiled and said nothing.

Eventually, I got tired of it, so I stopped asking questions and asked her to say what she wanted me to answer.

The high priest shook his head and said, "You still have questions that you haven't said. ”

"It's gone," I pouted, thinking for a moment, "yes, it's gone...... Oh wait! ”

Suddenly, I thought of a person, a friend and foe with me.

"High Priest, I would like to ask you, Achilles, do you know?"

The High Priest nodded.

"What kind of man is he, and is he a man of the legendary Heroic Age?"

"He's a legendary hero from the Age of Heroes," the high priest said indifferently, "and he's also the deputy of Carter Adams, the first head of the Carter family, as for what kind of person he is, huh...... He was brave and cowardly. ”

"What's the answer?" I muttered discontentedly, and then I asked her, "And what kind of person is Carter Adams?" ”

"Carter Adams," the High Priest laughed, "he's a hot-blooded child. ”

Child......

I always feel that it is a bit inappropriate to call the legendary hero like this.

"That kid has been yelling all day long to eradicate all the monsters that infest Ari City, and it turns out that he is really trying."

"Huh? Listening to you say that, did he fail in the end? ”

The high priest laughed but said nothing.

Dizzy, can't you even say whether you failed or not?

However, it was a bit surprising that Carter Adams turned out to be a hot-blooded hero of justice, after all, his descendants would be like that......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and said to myself: "What a waste of the ancestral name, I didn't expect the descendants of the Carter family to be all bastards." ”

As I spoke, I raised my head, looked at the High Priest and said, "High Priest, you should know, the Second Young Master of Ari City, Carter Scott, is conducting experimental research with the Lord of York City and the President of the Knights of the Round Table Guild, and their research results are likely to be a disgusting monster!" ”
