Ye Nuan didn't notice Song Ning's flickering eyes, and turned to look at the northwest corner, where she felt that the central figure of the incident was approaching.

Sure enough, in just a moment, a light gray figure fell into front of everyone. Probably didn't expect them to alarm the high priest who was missing the dragon, most of them had never seen a real person, but the high priest's light gray robe was a symbol of his status, and everyone in the temple fell silent after looking at it for a moment.

However, the high priest lowered his eyes and gently swept the people who had fallen to the ground in embarrassment, and with a flick of his right hand, he saw that those people were lifted up by a gust of wind in the blink of an eye. Although the wound is still there, the pain has been relieved. Excited and grateful, all of them bowed to the high priest with bowed their eyebrows, and then, feeling that they had disgraced the temple, they retreated to the back and said no more.

Ye Nuan looked over, and she found that this famous high priest actually looked very young on the outside, probably only about ten years older than Song Ning, with kind eyebrows and eyes, without a trace of evil, although the temperament was warm and not amazing, but it unexpectedly made Ye Nuan feel very comfortable. As a result, Ye Nuan had a good impression of the high priest he met for the first time.

"High priest?" Ye Nuan shouted softly.

"Yes." The man nodded at Ye Nuan, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Two guests from afar, please forgive us for our rudeness, in order to express my apologies, can I invite you to my meditation room as guests?" ”

This is exactly Ye Nuan's purpose, and after hearing this, he nodded and responded, "Of course, our honor." ”

It's just that as soon as Ye Nuan's words fell, the old seniors and others on the side immediately looked worried and puzzled, and interjected, "High priest, these two people are unknown, and there are strange methods, you ......"

As the spiritual core of the temple, the safety of the high priest is above everything else, even more important than their vested interests, seeing that the high priest wants to go to the meditation room with Ye Nuan and the others to chat, they disagree very much.

The high priest looked at the old seniority calmly, with an expression of tolerance from an adult looking at the naughty child, and said, "It's okay, I originally wanted to talk to Miss Ye too." ”

After turning around, he said to Ye Nuan and the others, "Both, please come here." ”

Ye Nuan nodded and followed, and Song Ning naturally followed.

It is said that the development of civilization is always similar, at least the palace of the high priest is very similar to the temple that Ye Nuan is common on the earth, except for the symbolic totem and some words.

Although the high priest was held in a very high position, and could even be said to be the most powerful priest in the orc continent, he himself did not pursue any luxurious experiences. For example, this Zen room is very simple and simple, wooden floor, small coffee table, a few futons, at most the vent is lit with a slight fire, floating on the faint light smoke, a light sniff, there is a light and elegant atmosphere, let people smell calm, the effect is similar to the earth's soothing incense.

After pouring two cups of tea for Ye Nuan and the others, the high priest introduced to Ye Nuan and the others, "This is the meditation room where I usually retreat, I usually stay here when I have nothing to do, it is a little simple, please don't mind." ”

"Of course not, I like this style, and the flashy decorations are easy to dazzle." Ye Nuan replied, but after a pause in her tone, she asked again, "I don't know what the high priest is looking for us......"

"I heard that Miss Ye wanted to see me, and she was willing to pay four prescriptions with amazing effects in exchange, so I was curious and went down the mountain." The High Priest said with his hands on his crossed knees.

Ye Nuan was surprised, thinking that their movement just now was too big, which alarmed this person. However, she was not stupid enough to explain her purpose directly, but asked, "I actually only have a few questions for the high priest." Hundreds of years ago, the royal bloodline had not disappeared, and at that time, the alien orcs in the orc continent had two forms that could change freely, why did they have to be divided into natural and orcs now? ”

The High Priest smiled faintly and nodded, "Millions of years ago, the alien orcs of the Orc Continent were favored by the beast gods because of their diligence and piety, and they specially gave us two true bodies. The body of the beast allows us to have sharp claws and teeth to survive in the dangerous and cruel wilderness, and the human body allows us to learn the use of tools and build a beautiful home. However, things must decline, and any species will always go downhill when it reaches the peak of development, and the same is true for orcs. The disappearance of the royal family and the priests, I don't think it's a curse, it's just a new option from the heavens. After adapting to this kind of life, our orc bloodline can continue forever, but if we can't, we can only go to the end of decline. ”

There was no excitement or regret on the face of the high priest, as if he was a person outside the situation, who didn't care about the development of his race, and told the truth objectively and calmly, which made Ye Nuan a little surprised. She originally thought that this kind of major event related to the survival of the race, the high priest who stood at the top of the power would care very much, but the other party's performance was beyond Ye Nuan's imagination.

"Isn't the High Priest worried that one day, the Orcs will be eliminated by the entire era? As far as I know, the beast tide in some cities has been advanced recently, is this some kind of warning? The combination of natural and orcs cannot resist the beast tide composed of wild beasts that have fallen into madness, will the alien orc civilization eventually fall? ? ”

Ye Nuan's question was a little sharp, and the high priest only muttered for a few seconds before saying, "That's also something that can't be helped." ”

Choked by this answer, Ye Nuan didn't know what to say, and the high priest immediately added, "Heaven and earth have no grace but there is great grace, we live in heaven and earth, in fact, we don't feel the blessing that heaven and earth give us, as if we breathe air all the time, but absolutely no one will care about anything, but once we leave, we can't live." Just like before, we received the blessing of God and became orcs, but we didn't cherish it much, and now that we lose it, we don't have to worry too much, at least we are still living freely on this continent, aren't we? ”

"You don't think it's the beast god who has abandoned his followers?" Ye Nuan felt that this high priest was a little interesting, so he asked with a smile.

When the latter heard this, he replied, "Just like the vessels on our altar, before they came, they were but stones in the mountains, grass by the roadside, and after being fired with flint, they were finally placed on the altar to be worshipped. Our existence is like these rocks in the mountains and the grass on the roadside, it is reasonable to have two bodies and exist in two forms, and it is reasonable to lose two bodies. In any case, we are all made up of this world, and if we perish one day, it means that we have no meaning to exist and no longer function for all things as a whole, and we must accept the fact that this is the ultimate equality.

In fact, except for everyone in the temple and some big families, not many people will care about this problem anymore, and the commoners will only work hard for their daily lives. Danger is everywhere, the beast tide is just one, countless people lose their lives every day because of this and that, even more than the loss of the beast tide, instead of worrying about these, everyone should live every day. What does Miss Ye think? ”

Yes, this principle is quite similar to the theory of 'heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs' theory of Chinese Taoism, and Ye Nuan also agrees.

"Well, that's actually not the main question I want to ask today." Ye Nuan said.

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Ye Nuan didn't say much, and said directly, "Does the high priest know the truth about the sudden disappearance of the royal family and the priests back then?" ”

Hearing this, the High Priest just smiled, "This question has been asked to me by countless people, and my answer is not surprising enough. Could it be that Miss Ye has discovered something again? ”

"To put it simply, by some coincidence I found a corpse in a cave that seemed to be the identity of a prince who first disappeared hundreds of years ago before the royal family disappeared. Before he died, he wrote a suicide note. ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression of a person like Rao is high priest with a flat expression also cracked a little, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Miss Ye is sure?" ”

"I'm sure."

Well, hearing Ye Nuan's affirmative reply, the high priest seemed to fall into some kind of memory, and was silent for a while before saying, "Isn't Miss Ye a visitor from afar?" And how can I recognize the words of my Orc royal family? ”

"Through a little means, I asked a child from a certain family to help me translate." Ye Nuan didn't make excuses, and said directly.

Song Ning listened to Ye Nuan's answer, and looked at her with a somewhat unhappy expression, he didn't know what was so attractive about the high priest, and he actually let Ye Nuan directly tell such a big secret. You must know that they have only met for a short time, and they have not mentioned any agreement, and if the other party wants to arrest them for this reason, they can only admit it.

"Well, I believe in you. To be honest, what I know is also very limited, the ancient orcs can have two forms only if they are blessed by the royal family, but we don't know what the principle is, it is said that they have mastered a secret method, and it is precisely by relying on this secret method that they will become the masters of the entire orc continent. ”

Ye Nuan couldn't hear any respect from the high priest's tone, and for the other party to play cards so unreasonably, he directly expressed his suspicions about the royal family, Ye Nuan said that the development was a little too fast, she couldn't keep up, they haven't mentioned any cooperation, right? How could the other party tell her this kind of secrecy with the attitude of a collaborator, and the next step will not be to kill people, right?

For his unreliable imagination, Ye Nuan instantly dropped a bunch of black lines on his forehead, and calmed down for a moment before saying, "The high priest just told me about the secrets of the royal family, aren't you afraid that I have other plans?" ”

The high priest immediately smiled, "Don't be afraid, I have a plan anyway." ”

"Huh? What did the high priest want? ”

"You don't have to be nervous, it's very simple, I just want to find out this secret and then make it public, I really don't want to be a high priest, only by finding out the mystery can I get peace." In the end, the high priest's voice was a little more depressed.

Ye Nuan couldn't help but think of the sentence 'It's too cold in a high place', and those who can't get it urgently want to climb to that position and have that unlimited power, but it turns out that someone is there and just wants to leave.

After thinking about it, Ye Nuan nodded and said, "Okay, the preliminary willingness to cooperate has been reached, since this is the case, let's start acting." ”

"Action?" The High Priest raised an eyebrow.

Ye Nuan took out the leather scroll found in the underground cave from his bag and handed it out, "Forbidden land, our first stop." ”

Taking the leather scroll from Ye Nuan's hand, the high priest looked down for a while, but his expression changed from surprise at the beginning to more and more solemn later, thinking that he had thought of something.

Raising his head, he smiled at Ye Nuan and said, "I'm afraid our path to exploration is a little difficult this time." ”

"Why? The enemies of the royal family are terrible? ”

According to Muzio's interpretation last time, Ye Nuan knew that the disappearance of the royal family might be related to their enemies, but looking at the expression of the high priest, the situation seemed to be unclear.

The high priest didn't answer Ye Nuan's question directly, but said, "Miss Ye saw my ability before, right?" ”

"You mean down the hill?" Similar to the power of a cultivator, Ye Nuan is not uncommon.

"Yes, that's actually an ability, and the enemies of the royal family are a group of people with such magical abilities. If I'm not mistaken, the disappearance of the royal family should have something to do with this ability of theirs, and even they are the culprit. ”

"Abilities?" Ye Nuan thought that the high priest's ability was similar to magic power, or a kind of prayer power, but now it seemed that things were a little more complicated than she imagined.

"Abilities are special abilities that ordinary people do not have, such as ear literacy, inner vision, perspective, remote vision, microvision, etc., and even more powerful, they can also exert effects on the environment or material objects without any form of actual contact, such as mind transfer, mind change the existence form of matter. In particular, the therapeutic function can treat patients without relying on any medical means, and only relying on the specific energy of the human body. Of course, many of the priests of the Temple of Power will have them if they have enough devout faith, but we are not enough to see them compared to those who are truly favored by the Heavens. There was once a royal family who had taken a fancy to someone else's ability to become invisible, and to break through walls and enter closed rooms. At that time, this supernatural was very capable, but unfortunately he died in the palace due to some accidents, so our two clans made a feud. ”

"Wait." Ye Nuan heard this, but said, "High Priest, you also have abilities?" Not the power of some kind of faith? ”

When the man heard Ye Nuan's question, his eyes drooped slightly, but he was silent, as if he didn't want to answer but it was not easy to refuse, and only said after a while, "I'm special, generally speaking, alien orcs don't have special abilities." The energy obtained by faith has a time limit and a limit, but the abilities of the Adept do not, and they use their own bodies as a medium to consume life forms from themselves or those around them to release them. ”

"Does this have anything to do with the Forbidden Land?" Ye Nuan nodded abruptly, and suddenly asked. To be honest, she didn't know why the High Priest suddenly mentioned this.

"Because the forbidden land has a relationship with the Anomalous." The high priest replied. (To be continued.) )
