In the village on the edge of the oasis, the villagers who had been trying to fight were terrified when they saw that the white-robed priests and beetle warriors had been killed.

Reimer turned his head to look at Shabaja, frowned slightly, and said, "Shabaja, don't you think your hand is a little long? When will it be your turn to intervene in the affairs here? Don't forget your own identity, hmph, do you really think that with the golden treasure in your hand, you are the king of the empire?"

Seeing that Shabaja snatched his own part, Reimer naturally felt angry, he was ready to make a move, but Shabaja took the lead, which really made Reimer feel very unwilling.

Before Sabaja could speak, the thin old man from before suddenly rushed out of the house and bowed directly to Sabaja.

The old man said to Shabaja, "King, descendant of the great king, the old man has finally waited for you. ”

It turned out that the old man recognized the golden scepter and knew that it was a treasure left behind by the King of Hearts.

The old man's expression was extremely pious, and he said to Shabaja, who was holding the golden scepter, "You must be a descendant of the king's blood, the inheritor of the true King of Hearts, and please, please save us." ”

Seeing that the old man actually bowed down to Shabaja, Reimer's face turned pale and he felt angry.

Originally, he planned to take advantage of this turmoil to show his strength in front of the villagers, so as to gain the villagers' submission.

As a result, Sabaja stole the limelight, and now the villagers, under the leadership of the old man, regard Sabaja as their king, and Sabaja is like a group of kings returning.

Seeing Reimer's annoyed appearance, Shabaja felt extremely excited, and helped the old man up with a smile: "Old man, don't get excited, in fact, I am not the King of Hearts yet, I just have the blood of the king, and I have not really obtained the inheritance." Nor did I completely awaken my royal blood. ”

Speaking of this, Shabaja also deliberately looked at Reimer and introduced to the old man with a smile: "Actually, this one, like me, is also a descendant with the blood of the king. ”

The old man turned his head to see Reimer, and immediately said with a smile: "I know, I know, when he appeared, I felt the breath of king's blood on his body, I really didn't expect it." In this generation of King Hearts, there will be two descendants with the blood of the king. ”

As he spoke, the old man knelt down reverently, looked up to the sky and exhaled: "This is really God bless my Empire of Hearts, so that we can finally ask for the curse of the gods." ”

Reimer didn't expect that Shabaja would take the initiative to introduce himself to the old man, and he did not shy away from saying that he also had the king's blood.

While Reimer was stunned, Lucius stood up and said, "Old man, don't get excited. We're new to this area, so we wonder if you can tell us why it's in this oasis. Why did those white-robed priests intersect with the scarab guards?"

Before, the old man had already spoken to Lucius and Reimer because of the ambitions of the priests within the oasis. They want to gain the power of inheritance, so they use human blood to water the tree of life.

I want to use the vitality of the living to maintain the tree of life. But Lucius and Reimer didn't understand why the priests were messing with the scarabs.

After all, the scarab beetle is a natural public enemy of the tree of life, and the scarab beetle will eat the tree of life, suck the vitality of the tree of life, and use the vitality of the tree of life to make itself grow and evolve.

If those temple priests in the oasis wanted to obtain the Tree of Life, and the inheritance of the King of Hearts under the Tree of Life, they would not be able to cooperate with the scarab, this is completely unreasonable, once the scarab beetle devours the life force of the tree of life, wouldn't those priests get nothing?

The old man glanced at Lucius a few times, and seemed to have some doubts in his heart, because he could feel the breath similar to the king's blood from Lucius.

However, according to ancient legends, there are only two inheritors of the king's blood at most per generation, and it is impossible for three descendants of the king's blood to appear at the same time.

Seeing that the old man was puzzled and seemed to be a little hesitant, Lucius smiled and said, "Old man, don't be confused, I am not a descendant of the King of Hearts' royal blood, but I am a friend of the two of them, I will help them, and I will help you." ”

When the old man heard this, he carefully looked at Lucius a few times, and saw that Lucius was very sincere, so he did not have any further doubts.

Then the old man sighed and said, "I don't know, in fact, the original priests, they were sacrificing scarabs. ”

"A long time ago, in the entire empire, the tree of life was not what the king of hearts wanted, the tree of life was just a tool for our king to cultivate scarabs, but later, the empire was cursed by the gods, and the cultivation plan was put on hold, but the tree of life unexpectedly became a protective umbrella to protect us. ”

"Therefore, instead of continuing to feed the scarabs with the Tree of Life, the priests used the methods left by the king to seal the scarabs, relying on the Tree of Life, to preserve all of us and enable us to live in the sea of sand. ”

The old man's answer shocked Lucius and the others, they didn't expect that there was such a secret in it.

Lucius quickly guessed: "Speaking of which, those guys used human blood to water the Tree of Life, not to keep the Tree of Life alive, they were actually feeding the scarab under the tree to prevent the scarab beetle from eating the Tree of Life again." ”

After listening to Lucius's guess, everyone present was immediately surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it seemed that Lucius's guess made sense.

If the priests of the scarab beetles knew very well that they could not resist the curse of the sand sea, then if they wanted to live, they must keep the tree of life alive, and they could not let the awakened scarab beetles eat the vitality of the tree of life.

If the scarab beetle wakes up, it must need a lot of food, otherwise it will have no way to survive, let alone have a chance to evolve.

Thinking of this, Reimer suddenly spoke: "Therefore, if you want to preserve the vitality of the Tree of Life and let the scarab beetle get food, the best way is to replace the vitality of the ancient tree of life with the flesh and blood of a living person and feed the scarab beetle." ”

Hearing Reimer say this, the villagers were all terrified, and the old man trembled and took two steps back, and suddenly fell to the ground and cried loudly: "It turns out that what we have been worshiping sincerely is actually a monster that wants to eat us, we, we are really like grass mustard." ”

Seeing the old man crying on the ground, Lucius and the others also sighed, feeling in their hearts that these surviving imperial people were really the same bitterness.

At this time, Shabaja suddenly said: "Old man, you, you don't have to cry, since we have come, as a descendant of the king's blood, I naturally have to shoulder my responsibility, I will never let you continue to be killed at will, let alone allow you to be used as food for scarabs." ”

Hearing Shabaja's words, the old man suddenly raised his head and saluted Sabaja with an expectant face: "Your Highness, we, we are all counting on you. ”

Seeing that all the villagers saluted Shabaja again, Reimer was really angry and unwilling, and was robbed of the limelight by Shabaja. (To be continued......)
