Chapter 258 The Incompetent Pharaoh and the Helpless Princess
As for the scheduled selection of a husband for Her Royal Highness the Princess at the celebration banquet... How could anyone dare to mention this matter?
The behemoth monster that was beaten back to its original form by the high priest was still locked in a cage, and was placed in the middle of the banquet, guarded by more than a dozen brave and extraordinary white-robed guards!
The princes and ministers found various reasons and hurriedly left the palace with their children. They were the first people to receive the holy water from the high priest, so they were naturally anxious to go home.
Even Princess Yamanlana, the pride of the kingdom, was successfully swapped by the giant beast using its ability to change. So, have those pillow people who accompany them every day already...
Once they thought that the moving figure sharing the bed was most likely the transformation of a giant beast, these nobles did not dare to be cold-blooded... even though martial arts prevailed in the City of the Sun.
But no matter how brave a person is, once the reputation of being a beast spreads... let's meet at the city wall!
As a result, the palace, which had been bustling for half the night, suddenly became quiet... [Her Royal Highness], citing the reason that she was frightened tonight, was escorted back to the palace by the white-robed guards who had been eliminated by the high priest early.
The pharaoh of the kingdom and the high priest were discussing how to deal with this giant beast pretending to be Princess Yamanlana... The conversation between the pharaoh and the high priest blocked everyone... Only the guards guarding the door could occasionally listen.
to the angry voice of Pharaoh.
Probably because Princess Yamanlana was attacked by a giant beast, she was angry... the guards secretly thought.
…
"Xie Jiatu!! I handed Yamanlana to you, and you almost let her be killed by a giant beast... My patience with you has almost reached its limit!"
The pharaoh of the kingdom is sitting on the throne... At this moment, the pharaoh of the kingdom who seems to outsiders to be a bit weak in front of Yamanlana and can't stand up... The pharaoh of the kingdom who is so angry is actually the real pharaoh of the kingdom with extraordinary momentum.
, the pinnacle of a country's power is nothing more than this.
"I didn't expect this to happen." The high priest said calmly: "Of course, I am not shirking responsibility... I did not do a good job in this matter. From now on, I will take a good look at it.
Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"She is not allowed to go out to fight against the giant beasts again!" the pharaoh of the kingdom said in a deep voice again.
The high priest... Xie Jiatu said: "You were the one who agreed to her expedition against the giant beast... If you don't agree, you can only tell her yourself."
The pharaoh of the kingdom snorted coldly: "Don't I know Yamanlana's character? She is just like her mother. Once she decides something, even ten war horses can't pull it back!"
The high priest Xie Jiatu suddenly took a deep look at the pharaoh of the kingdom and said slowly: "Since you also know that her character is the same as her mother... then, has her mother ever listened to my advice?
"
"You..." The pharaoh of the kingdom glared at the high priest Xie Jiatu hatefully, but then quickly exhaled and relaxed, as if tired... He waved his hand, "That's it for today.
...I will issue an order to the minister tomorrow regarding prohibiting Yaman Lana from going out to conquer the giant beasts... As for Yaman Lana, I will find a way to deal with it myself, I don’t need you!"
"Then..." High Priest Xie Jiatu said calmly: "If there is nothing else, I will go back to the temple...I will also take away the giant beast outside. This kind of giant beast with the ability to transform is very special. I
It needs to be studied carefully.”
Speaking of this matter, the pharaoh of the kingdom was probably not much different from the princes and ministers who left in a hurry. He was also worried that he might have become a man who manipulated beasts. He opened his mouth and said in a squeaky voice.
: "Xie Jiatu, do those holy waters of yours really work?"
The high priest, who seemed to have figured out the thoughts of the pharaoh of the kingdom, said in a nonchalant manner: "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your new princess."
"That's not what I meant... forget it." The pharaoh of the kingdom shook his head, "Take that monster away quickly... The longest day of night is almost here, and now a giant beast with this kind of transformation ability suddenly appears.
, I don’t know if it’s good or bad. This time Yaman Lana came back from the expedition, and the spies who came back earlier have already said that the size and number of the desert giant beasts seem to have increased again... This time the longest night? "
"God will still protect this city of the sun."
The high priest's voice seemed to still be echoing in the hall, but the pharaoh of the kingdom could no longer see this person... The high priest had left, and the only one left was the old man sitting on the throne.
"God?" the pharaoh of the kingdom murmured in a low voice, "Even if it is a god who wants to take away my... I will do whatever it takes to take the god..."
He sighed, but he knew better than his hands that the power of God... was simply unmatched by mortals, especially in the City of the Sun.
At this moment.
In the empty royal hall, a voice suddenly sounded like this: "Do you want to do something to God?"
The main hall was still empty. The pharaoh of the kingdom was suddenly startled and looked around. He saw nothing but he was sure that he heard something!
"Who is it! Come out!" The pharaoh of the kingdom suddenly stood up from his throne. He was no longer young, and even his old figure seemed to be taller by a few inches... His muscles were still strong, and his
It turned out that his aura had always been hidden beneath his seemingly incompetent appearance.
He slowly pulled out the sword from the scepter that represented royal power.
"I'm just a traveling businessman who came here accidentally..."
The voice sounded again, "It was the eager expectation in your heart that led me to come... I felt a pure and great emotion. As a father, do you want to consider buying something from me...
…Pharaoh of the kingdom.”
Along with the sound, in front of the Kingdom's Pharaoh, a figure slowly walked out of the air... The Kingdom's Pharaoh suddenly opened his mouth.
What he saw was a young man dressed as a palace guard.
The pharaoh of the kingdom was startled at first, and then frowned... His eyes suddenly shrank, and he asked in a deep voice: "Are you the person chosen by Ibn... Yamanlana?"
Young guard... Boss Luo blinked, then suddenly realized, and then thought for a while and said: "So that's it... Pharaoh, your relationship with this high priest seems to be more complicated than I imagined."
Pharaoh just remained silent, but his eyes did not blink. He stared at Luo Qiu in front of him. After a long time, he suddenly asked: "I don't care who you are... As long as you answer my question, can I trust you?"
Luo Qiu thought for a moment and said nothing, but slowly took out the earrings that Princess Yamalana had given him.
The pharaoh of the kingdom suddenly became excited and walked forward... even walked down the steps for a few steps before suddenly stopping.
His lips moved, his voice even became a little hoarse, and he said softly: "This... this is something from Yaman Lana's mother, the only thing she left to me."
"Her Royal Highness the princess's biological mother?" Boss Luo nodded, "I asked around, and it seems that the pharaoh currently only has one princess... No one seems to have mentioned the queen."
The pharaoh of the kingdom shook his head. He slowly sat down. What he was sitting on was no longer the throne, but the stairs leading to the throne... He even looked a little staggered.
His voice was no longer just hoarse, but even sad, "She...she turned into a pile of sand in the end, and it was right in front of my...my eyes."
The pharaoh of the kingdom slowly closed his eyes and took a long breath, seeming to be caught in some kind of sad memory...
…
…
"Your Royal Highness, the high priest has given an order. You need to have a good rest here tonight and cannot leave."
When Claudia was about to walk out of the palace, she was blocked by two white-robed guards. Of course, she was not as brave as the real Princess Yamalana. She could fight more than a dozen white-robed guards and still hold on for a while.
.
He is probably the type who will be knocked down in just three seconds after being handsome... So this [Her Royal Highness] could only go back, but she couldn't stop cursing the high priest in her heart!
Although this high priest has the same appearance as her father Xie Jiatu, she knows at this time that this high priest is not as good as the people in the City of the Sun say!
This high priest actually personally turned the real Princess Yamalana into a monster and made people sleepy!
Claudia knew very well that she was the fake high priest, and I was afraid he would have recognized it when he saw her climbing down from the attic!
But why didn’t the high priest point it out? Why did he let the real Princess Yamanlana drink [holy water] and turn into that ugly monster?
What is his real intention?
Claudia walked back and forth anxiously in the room...the keyword [holy water] kept appearing in her mind at this time!
"He wants... to make everyone in the city drink [holy water]?" Suddenly, a terrifying suspicion occupied Claudia's thoughts!
I heard that the high priest left the temple in the kingdom some time ago and disappeared without a trace. He suddenly returned during today's celebration party...
"He didn't tell me that I was the fake one... He used [holy water] to turn the real princess into a monster, saying she was a giant beast." Claudia gradually felt a chill start to creep up her back, "He wanted to make everyone
Everyone drinks the [Holy Water]... If [Holy Water] turns into a monster after drinking it, then won’t everyone in the entire City of the Sun turn into... a monster?"
In an instant, Claudia realized a shocking conspiracy and exclaimed in a low voice: "Is this high priest... could he be transformed into a real behemoth?! His purpose is to destroy the entire City of the Sun from the inside.
?”
At this moment, a figure quietly walked into the room.
"It seems like something unspeakable has happened to you."
Claudia was suddenly startled. Following the sound, she saw a figure leaning against the pillar with his hands folded.
It was Mr. Otto who slipped into the crowd and slipped away somewhere before the banquet started!
"You bastard, you actually have the nerve...wait, how did you get in?" Claudia suddenly frowned!
In order to prevent her from leaving, the high priest clearly arranged white-robed guards with astonishing force around the palace!
"Of course he walked in openly." Mr. Otto said nonchalantly at this time: "The two doormen outside your house seem to be asleep."
Naturally, Claudia didn't believe it. She quickly walked to the door, opened it and took a look... She saw two white-robed guards who had indeed fallen to the ground, but they were obviously not asleep, but unconscious... This
She could still distinguish the position where someone had obviously knocked him unconscious.
This Otto actually quietly handed over these two white-robed guards...
"Where have you been?" Claudia turned around and hurriedly walked to Mr. Otto's side. "Do you know that a lot of things happened just now?"
"I probably know what happened." Mr. Otto nodded and said, "Her Highness the Princess turned into a terrifying monster in front of everyone... right."
Claudia nodded, "Besides, I suspect that this matter is a conspiracy of the high priest. His purpose is actually..."
At this time, Mr. Otto made a gesture of silence, "Claudia, right? Professor Xie Jiatu's daughter."
"What's wrong?" Claudia was startled... By the way, this Mr. Otto is not the one when she came, but the one who walked out of the oasis and lost part of his memory... He is
Otto half a year ago?
"I'm actually not very interested in what you discovered." Mr. Otto said calmly: "I'm not very interested in what the City of the Sun will become. Because...please remember, no matter here,
No matter what we become, no matter what happens here, we never belong here. We are just travelers lost in this strange place... It's that simple."
Otto's words actually left Claudia with no reason to refute... Why should she care about what happened in this place?
Why worry about the people of the City of the Sun?
Is it just because I look the same as the real Princess Yamanlana...I am not the real princess of the kingdom!
"Get out of here right now!" Claudia suddenly trembled and blurted out.
Mr. Otto smiled slightly at this time, "What a right choice... Yes, we should really leave this place."
Taking advantage of the darkness and before the two white-robed guards who were knocked unconscious by the door could wake up, Mr. Otto and Claudia quietly left the palace belonging to the princess.
…
Slapping, knocking...screaming.
Imagine a lion on the grassland suddenly being trapped in a small cage...that's what the monster in the cage looks like at this moment.
Monster...Princess Yamalana.
Its eyes are muddy and have no spirituality at all.
It has been frantically trying to destroy the cage that imprisons it... Its cry is like the sound of wind passing through the canyon, loud and terrifying.
But here... in this temple built deep in the palace, such a sound can't attract any attention. Outside the prison, there are the elite white-robed guards of the temple. They stand tall and tall like statues.
,like a statue.
It wasn't until the high priest finally arrived that they reacted and slowly opened the door to the prison behind them.
The high priest walked silently into the depths of the prison, stood in front of the cage, and quietly looked at the crazy ugly monster in the cage.
The moment the monster saw him, it became even more manic... Its hands gripped the iron bars of the cage tightly, and its eyes suddenly turned red.
"Don't hate me, Yamanlana..." The high priest said slowly.
