Chapter 19: The President Sells His Wife?
Seahorse and Manna had stayed in the village that evening, and at the same time, another girl crept in, dressed in a wide but shabby robe, and no one could see her appearance.
The girl walked around the village barefoot and with some caution. She was on the run, and it was clear that she should not have come to a place where humans gathered, as the ruins of the wilderness were often her hiding place.
But something had to make the girl come here in a desperate way—she looked at the young priest who was reading a book at the village chief's house, and was about to start resting, and a girl's heart was constantly pounding with a fawn in her breast.
The maiden was so fascinated by ...... unconsciously that she didn't notice that her cloak was suddenly blown open by a wind, and the face under the cloak was ...... Suddenly, it is completely different from normal people with blue eyes and white hair!
"This ...... It's a monster!"
After hearing a young man's voice, the girl reacted. When she turned her head, she saw that a sloppy-looking, tattered man was stretching out his index finger and trembling to point at her, and she finally realized that now her hood had been lifted, and her ominous face was suddenly exposed in front of everyone's eyes!
At this time, she shouted in her heart, but it was too late, the brown and white-skinned Egyptian villagers and the black Nubian villagers gathered around in an instant, just like the NPCs in the game, looking at the blue-eyed and white-haired girl, they all talked in horror.
It was a mixed village of Nubians and Egyptians, and although the Egyptians, as the dominant ethnic group, generally accepted the existence of the dark-skinned Nubians, and the Pharaoh would not be stingy with his kindness as long as the Nubians worked hard, it was certain that the dark-skinned people were somewhat unwelcome. Therefore, as a subordinate race, the Nubians were naturally relatively low-class in this village, except for those prisoners who were exiled by the Pharaoh and could not be regarded as adults, they were of the lowest status and were often discriminated against.
In this case, will the Nubians, who were originally in the lower echelons of this village, sympathize with the girl in front of them at this time?
Obviously, this is impossible - in front of the "heretic" of the girl, the original dark complexion of the Nubians suddenly became a symbol of identity at this moment, and the Nubians around pointed at the girl in front of them, and at the same time showed an expression of surprise and fear, as if the person in front of him was not a cute girl, but a flood beast.
(In a sense, they're not wrong...... )
The Nubians, who were originally suppressed by the Egyptians every day but dared not speak out, reacted the most when they saw the girl at this time - they actually wanted to have a more lowly life to let them live the usual Egyptian addiction, and the girl in front of them was obviously suitable for this role.
"Monsters, get out!"
"Skinned her!"
"The Valley of the Kings is nearby, if you don't break this monster into pieces with a hammer and burn it, you will be punished by the gods!"
The Nubians were noisy and shouting, and looking at their style, they probably wanted to lynch the girl in front of them immediately and put her to death.
Unlike the Nubians, who wanted to lynch them immediately, the Egyptians, although they also hated the blue-eyed and gray-haired girls in front of them, according to tradition, they still planned to tell the higher-ups to deal with the matter - in the past, they were always looking for the village chief, but now there are more suitable people in the village to deal with this matter, that is, the priests and adults who have just lived in the village.
So an older, somewhat prestigious Egyptian interrupted everyone's discussions, and stood up and said, "Everyone is optimistic about her, the priest has come to our village, and he should be following this monster, so let's go and ask the priest to destroy her immediately!
Several young Egyptians nodded, and then stepped forward, driving away the group that was about to attack the girl.
Because the white-haired girl came here to see Seth, it was not far from the village chief's house where Seahorse and Manna were staying, and Manna arrived in a short time. At the same time, there was also an ordinary-looking young man beside her.
But the white-haired girl, who was still trembling slightly in everyone's strange eyes, instantly calmed down when she saw this person.
Of course, the average villager only thinks she's a normal behavior when an evil demon meets a priest who is her natural enemy, and they all praise Mana Kamui - even though the confused girl still looks confused.
Seeing that the priests have arrived, the Nubian people who had been addicted to it before quickly dispersed, if they really wanted to lynch them by hand, they would not dare to take the lead, not to mention that this is the land of the Egyptian pharaoh after all, with its own laws, and the punishment for abuse of lynching is very serious.
When everyone dispersed, Manna finally saw the girl in front of her, her clear cyan eyes were like precious gems, and Manna knew immediately that the girl in front of her was not evil.
As for the frightened eyes of the villagers around her, Manna only thought that they had little knowledge - although she did not have the ability to summon elves as a trainee priest, the elves that Manna knew were not few, and the blue-eyed and white-haired ones were not too exaggerated.
The girl in front of her is not the devil, she should be cared for and not trampled on.
[And ......]
Manna looked behind her, and for some reason, Priest Seth, who had come with her, did not speak.
Others don't know so they use her as the backbone, but she knows that the opinion of this great priest with a thousand-year-old artifact is the most worth considering.
Seahorse didn't speak, and now all eyes were on Mana, hoping that she, as a priest, would give a punishment for sinners.
[Forget it, I'll decide for myself......] Manna feels that Officer Seth has begun to hang up at this time, so it is estimated that this matter should be solved by herself, [At least she can't be bullied anymore!]
"She's not a devil, she's just a human being. Mna said to the villagers in no uncertain terms, saying that her words represented the authority of the country, relieving those who had previously feared that it was a witch, and then Manna said to the village chief, "Find a place to bathe, eat, and ......."
"And then, Lord Priest?"
The village chief's family carefully remembered Mana's words, even though the white-haired girl was a little strange to them, but the priest said that she was okay, then it was okay, so now they just had to listen to the instructions.
But Manna stopped suddenly, making everyone a little strange.
And the reason why Mana's words came to an abrupt end was because the "priest Seth" suddenly stuffed her with a piece of papyrus and told her to say what was written on it.
"And ......" Mana, who had just said that she wanted to be kind to the other party, read out the words written on the piece of paper with some confusion: "and ...... Do you have a dungeon here?"
Everyone: [???]
And when she heard this, the blue-eyed girl's eyes widened, and she looked at the person who handed the note in disbelief......
