Picking up the oil lamp, from casual to careful, it always gives the princess a very strange feeling, as if someone is telling her, take this oil lamp with you, maybe it will bring you good luck.
Her Royal Highness the Princess shook her head, secretly thinking about this ridiculous idea... She put down the oil lamp, then turned around and walked towards the door.
But when she was about to leave the dormitory, Her Royal Highness suddenly turned back and casually hung the oil lamp on her belt like an accessory.
The oil lamp is not big, and even has a small feel... Hanging on the waist, although it looks a bit unusual, it does not attract people's attention. What's more, the princess hides the existence of the oil lamp when she puts away her cloak.
"Your Highness?" The little maid didn't understand what the Princess was doing.
"It's okay." Her Royal Highness the Princess said calmly: "Let's go, I'll go see the Pharaoh first."
She actually wanted to call her father and then become a pharaoh.
…
Iben felt that the so-called 'eyes' knocked down by [Night Watch] might be very valuable, so he didn't care at all about [Night Watch]'s rather disdainful gaze at this time, and took this named [Drone]
I put the 'eye' in my arms and planned to take it out to fool others after leaving the palace.
There are still many collectors in the city... No one has ever seen this kind of thing, and it is destined to sell for a big price!
When Iben thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if he saw a bunch of rich men's sons standing in front of them.
"By the way, you said, these are the eyes of the high priest?" Iben thought of what [Night Watchman] said, and asked curiously: "How did you know?"
[Night Watchman] ignored Iben, and gradually became more familiar with the palace, which even made Iben dumbfounded... Not to mention the palace guards along the way, even places with lights were rare.
It felt like I had been traveling for a long time, but it also seemed like I had just walked for a while... A towering thing actually appeared in front of Iben.
A trapezoidal pyramid-like building.
"God...temple?" As a resident of the City of the Sun, Ibn naturally recognized the origin of this building immediately. Every resident of the City of the Sun will have the qualifications to enter the temple several times in his life.
When they are born, when they reach adulthood, and after death, residents will be sent to the temple for cremation. They will be cremated in the place closest to the true God, so that the soul can rest beside the true God.
This is an ancient tradition in the City of the Sun. In Ibn's memory, he had already grown up early, so the impression of the temple was so clear... The [Night Watch] wanted to kill the high priest, and the high priest was naturally in the temple.
Among them, so now it’s no problem to come to the temple.
It was just a kind of awe hidden in his heart that still made Iben, who was blinded by wealth, hesitate.
"Brother, why don't we sum it up again?" Iben grabbed the [Night Watchman]'s arm and said hurriedly: "This place is nothing like the palace. Each of the white-robed guards is a warrior worth ten...
I’m afraid it’s just the two of us?”
"You are right." [Night Watcher] nodded immediately, "This is the high priest's lair, but it is unrealistic to sneak into it."
"I'll just say it!" Ibn was immediately overjoyed, "Let's go back and make a long-term plan!"
He turned around happily, and his memory of the way he came was still very clear, so he didn't panic at all when he took a big step... However, he saw that [Night Watcher] took out something the size of a fist and threw it directly towards the road.
On top of the wall... Bang!!
There was a sudden noise, right behind Iben, and there was even a stream of air coming from behind, causing Iben's clothes to float up.
He turned around hurriedly, only to see a blaze of fire in front of him, and a big hole had been opened in the wall that separated the temple from the palace.
[Night Watchman] stood in front of Iben at this time, "It will be more troublesome to sneak in anyway, so just go in."
"Hit...Hit it in?!" Iben's eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost fainted and fell to the ground, yelling: "You, you...you madman!!"
"Only crazy people are qualified to survive...remember what I said." [Night Watcher] grabbed Yiben's collar with one hand at this time, pulled him and rushed into the broken door, "You were originally
Also a lunatic."
…
…
If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy.
This is what a writer who the high priest likes said... He was currently in the temple's bedroom, which was a room where darkness and light coexisted.
The darkness is the surrounding darkness, but there are two places of light. One is shining on him, and the other is shining on a stone bed. Yes, only these two places are bright, and the rest are dark... The light is not
It will be scattered, as if it is restrained by something, so even if there is light, the surrounding area should be dark, but the result is still dark.
There seemed to be something lying on the stone bed...a person, a woman.
A woman whose body is somewhat different from that of a normal woman can still see many scales on her body, but they are not dense. The scales seem to be degenerating, from hard to soft, and then begin to shrink, and the color gradually becomes transparent.
Her face also began to recover from its ferocious appearance...the tail behind her was also shrinking little by little.
The proportion of smooth and snow-white skin is increasing...it is becoming more and more like what a normal person should look like. This is the Princess Yamanlana who turned into a monster in front of everyone during the banquet.
Your Highness.
I don't know how much time passed, but she gradually started to react on the stone bed.
The fluttering eyelashes showed that she seemed to be about to wake up... She opened her eyes, and her body was in a strange state.
"You're going to wake up sooner than I thought... Yaman Lana."
The high priest was still sitting, looking down at the reading book in his hand, and did not look up at her who was slowly getting up on the stone bed... She looked down at her body, her own hands, and felt that the spots on her arms had not completely disappeared.
of scales.
Suddenly, she grabbed her arm hard, and even pulled the scales that were about to degenerate and disappear directly from her arm, causing her hands to become dripping with blood.
"They will disappear completely soon...and even if you pull them out now, new ones will still grow out." The high priest said expressionlessly: "So this kind of behavior will not only make you feel pain.
Apart from that, it doesn’t have any substantive effect... Yaman Lana, have you forgotten what I taught you?"
"Why." It...she...Princess Yamanlana suddenly raised her head and glared at the high priest under another light source: "Why do you want me...let me be in front of everyone?!"
The high priest thought for a while and said: "Everyone needs to face some... some unexpected and never thought of pain in the process of growing up. Pain is the food for growth. Do you know why the cactus fruits in the desert are like that?
Is it sweet? Because in such harsh conditions as the desert, the preciousness of life can be more clearly demonstrated."
"Even if it is like this... Even if it is like this!!" Yamanlana walked down from the stone bed and staggered towards the high priest under another light source, "But you..."
"Betrayal, despair... are all what you need." The high priest closed the book in his hand and said slowly: "And the current anger... even hatred. You need these, Yaman Lana, you don't have these.
You are only half of it."
She clenched her fists, her nails dug deeply into her palms, and said hoarsely: "I still feel sad now... So, in the end, am I just a test subject in your hands? Just like... just like my mother.
?!"
"You can't say that." The high priest shook his head, "Your mother, strictly speaking, is also my daughter... She is actually perfect, but it's a pity that she learned love at a premature stage. Don't get me wrong, I'm not
Wanting to prevent her from having this most beautiful emotion in the world, even when it came from your mother, I was even quite happy to see it. This proves that your mother is growing up very quickly, beyond my expectations. I
In fact, I'm very happy, otherwise I wouldn't have allowed her to marry your father... and then have you."
Yamanlana lowered her head and said in a sad voice, "Didn't she die in the end...right before our eyes, she turned into a monster and turned into sand."
"This is your mother's choice, Yaman Lana." The high priest stood up, "I have never restricted her, even if she chose to fight me in this way, I did not stop her... I
Yes, all her love and expectations have been given to her. Just as I have given them to you... Yaman Lana, you yearn for the outside world, right? You have always yearned for the outside world.
World, now, your chance has come again."
Yamanlana's body trembled suddenly.
The high priest smiled slightly at this time, clapped his hands lightly...the surroundings instantly became brighter, and the dark room finally showed everything it had.
Metal walls, metal floors, everything here is made of metal, and it seems to be the crystallization of human technological civilization.
"Here..." Yamanlana looked at everything around her in disbelief. This was a place that even she had never been to.
The huge multi-screen screens and consoles in front of her, as well as various things called equipment, were all infinitely more advanced than what she had hidden behind the wall in the God Room.
"Why, aren't these all the things you dream about?"
"When...you built this place?" Yamanlana frowned, her voice was horribly deep.
"It has been building here. It has been building here a long time ago." The high priest said slowly: "Earlier than you, earlier than your mother."
"So you have always..." Yaman Lana gritted her teeth and couldn't help but said angrily: "You have always mastered so many external technologies, why... why did you just give me the most common things! They can't do much to the giant beasts outside.
Damage... You obviously, you obviously have such technology, you can obviously attack the giant beast more effectively... Why? Why do you still watch the residents of the City of the Sun usher in the longest day of night every year... Why
So many people have to die! So many lives!"
"These are not important, Yaman Lana." The high priest shook his head: "Human life will end no matter what, natural old age and death also end, dying in disasters is also dying, the process is completely different, but for me...
The result is the same, but you are different, Yaman Rana, you are special, you are different from all the humans here. I said, all my love and expectations have been given to you... Now, it is you
It’s time to get out of here.”
"What?"
The high priest waved his hand, and on the screen behind him, multiple groups of split screens suddenly flashed and finally combined into a complete image... In the corridor of the palace, Her Royal Highness the Princess was leading her maid to the Pharaoh's palace.
"This is..." Yamanlana's eyes were startled, and she subconsciously took a step back, "She...she is..."
"I have prepared a real identity for you." The high priest smiled slightly at this time and waved again. The metal floor next to Yamanlana suddenly opened, and a cylindrical platform slowly rose up. There were actually some clothes placed on the platform.
...some modern clothing.
Yamanlana stared blankly at the clothes on the table.
"From now on, this identity will officially belong to you." The high priest said softly: "You never need to take off these clothes... After you leave here, you will be the real Claudia. I said,
This is what you dream about."
Princess Yamanlana subconsciously reached out to the clothes and shoes on the table, her eyes were filled with struggle, and she remained silent.
At this time, there was a strange vibration coming from the metal room. This vibration was not obvious, but it was enough to attract the attention of the two people, especially the high priest.
He turned around and glanced at the screen... The screen turned and he came to the outside of the temple.
The periphery of the temple in the dark night was full of murderous intent at this moment... A figure covered in gray animal skins was charging all the way in. The sparks spitting out from the gun in his hand made every flesh and blood body fall down easily.
Even if these flesh and blood bodies belong to those white-robed guards of the temple who are the only ones in a hundred.
"This is..." Yaman Lana's face changed slightly.
But the high priest was thoughtful: "Well... this mouse is finally willing to appear... After hiding for so long, it seems it can't bear it anymore."
As he spoke, the high priest shook his head, opened the exit of the metal room, and walked out.
Before leaving, he looked at Princess Yamanlana and said: "I hope you will be dressed when I come back...I will open the door to leave for you."
The door of the metal room closed quietly, but Princess Yamanlana who stayed behind stood in front of the cylindrical platform, lowering her head in silence... Her arms were still dripping with blood.
…
…
The royal palace, where the Pharaoh lives.
The owner of the palace slowly stood up from the steps and walked down the steps step by step... and walked towards the young guard in front of him who had listened to what he said.
"You seem to have made a decision." Boss Luo said calmly.
The Pharaoh in the palace said: "Yes."
"Let's get started... you will get what you want." Boss Luo waved his hand, and a parchment appeared directly in front of the pharaoh in the palace.
The pharaoh in the palace stared deeply at the floating sheepskin scroll in front of him, "This time I will not..."
The low murmurs gradually became inaudible... At this time, the Pharaoh actually inserted his fingers into his left eye and dug out his left eye!
