Chapter 503: Scales and Butterflies
Dusk, sunset is full of sky.
In the desolate Tagore Desert, a pair of centaurs walked into the oasis where the snake people were located.
Entering the oasis, the convoy continued all the way forward, and finally entered the city of the snake people, the mighty convoy passed through the main central street of the city, and at the forefront was a woman sitting on a tall monster.
The woman's face was charming and cold, with a red leather bandeau on her chest, and gorgeous gold ornaments all over her body, and at her waist, like a water snake, was a red leather dress decorated with gold ornaments, and below, a seven-colored purple snake tail was gently swaying.
At the sight of the woman, all the snake people civilians on both sides of the street were boiling.
"Look, it's the patrol back!"
"It's the Queen, and the Queen!"
"The Queen is back, and she has captured the abominable human mercenary!"
"Long live the Queen!"
……
A famous snake man civilian constantly waved his right hand frantically, shouting, screaming, for the majority of snake people, Queen Medusa is the ancestral idol of the snake people for generations.
The vast convoy slowly passed through the vast snake city, and finally entered a magnificent temple made of marble, and as soon as it entered the scope of the temple, a large number of snake guards in armor and spears came out, and above, there were guards waving flower petals on the heights.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
……
Amid the incomprehensible shouts of the snake guards, the convoy finally stopped in front of the temple.
Sitting on the most side-by-side candidate, Queen Medusa Scales slowly got off a tall wind-breaking amethyst rhinoceros on her horse, and behind her, several snake warriors from the patrol team also got off the giant scorpion mounts they were riding, came to the rear of the team, and opened several prison carts for the imprisoned humans.
"Give it all down!"
"Come out for me!"
"Don't grind!"
……
At the urging of a famous snake warrior, several human beings in shackles reluctantly stepped on the steps to the tall snake man temple under the push of the snake man warrior.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
Amid the shouts of the serpent guards, the candidate Queen Medusa led a group of captured humans up the high stairs to the ornate and majestic main temple.
As soon as you enter the temple, you will see a gorgeous platinum throne, on the throne, there is also a hideous snake made of gold, which looks particularly hideous but majestic, this is the throne of Queen Medusa!
However, because there are two Medusa queens in this generation, both Scale and sister Butterfly are still candidates, and as candidates for Queen Medusa, neither of them is qualified to sit on this throne, so this throne has been vacant.
Scales wriggled the snake's tail expressionlessly and entered the temple, the snake guards on either side shouted the incomprehensible snake language and sprinkled the pink petals in the basket in their hands.
And at the end of the temple, a female snake man with a dress and appearance that was extremely similar to scales, but with a different temperament, suddenly came to the temple from the corridor behind the temple, and when she saw the scales, the female snake man couldn't help but suddenly show an innocent smile on her face.
"Sister!"
The female snake man shouted happily.
As soon as her body moved, the colorful blue snake tail twisted, and the female snake man came behind the scales in the blink of an eye, hugged the scales, and gently rubbed the scales' face with her pretty face, and said coquettishly: "Sister, why did you come back so late today?" ”
"When I was patrolling today, I came across a few human mercenary groups who wanted to attack our snake village, so it took me a little more time."
Seeing his sister Butterfly, a faint smile bloomed on Scale's cold face, and he stroked his sister's cheek a few times, and Scales said slowly.
"Human ......"
Hearing Scale's words, Butterfly glanced at the escorted humans with some concern, and her lips twitched slightly, but she still didn't say anything, but hugged her sister's arm a little sadly.
"See the Queen of the Scales!"
Just as Scale and Butterfly were talking to each other about their thoughts, a snake guard suddenly walked into the main shrine and came to Scale's face, and said respectfully.
"Moga, what's the matter?"
Looking at the captain of the Snake Man Temple guard in front of him, the scale asked lightly.
"It's nothing, it's just that the Great Elder specially asked his subordinates to inform you when you come back, so that you can take the Butterfly Queen to the sacrificial temple with you when you come back."
Moga replied respectfully.
"Let me take the butterfly to the sacrificial temple......."
Hearing Moga's words, Scales' heart couldn't help but sink, and after all, it was time for them to reach the deadline now.
Although he was worried in his heart, on his face, the scale still said quietly: "Okay, I know, I will take the butterfly to the sacrificial temple in a while, you go first." ”
"Yes, Her Royal Highness."
Moga respectfully withdrew from the main shrine.
"Sister, is there anything wrong, why did the Great Elder let us go to the Sacrifice Temple?"
Beside Scale, Butterfly asked with some confusion.
"It's nothing, everything has a sister, and my sister will always protect you."
Hearing his sister's words, a trace of worry flashed in Scale's eyes, but on his face, Scale's face still squeezed out a few smiles, hugged his sister, and said softly.
"Hmm."
In her arms, Die hummed softly, but in her heart, Die seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face, although she was naïve, she was not stupid.
After taking care of everything and letting the guards take the captured humans to the prison and imprison them, Scale left the main shrine with his sister and headed for the sacrificial temple on the side.
Along the way, the two sisters had their own thoughts, although they held hands, but they did not speak in tacit understanding, but just moved forward silently.
Came to the sacrificial temple, looked at the majestic sacrificial temple outside, and the two mighty snake statues outside the temple, the scales frowned, secretly clenched their fists, and made up her mind in her heart, no matter what, she must protect her sister!
"Let's go, let's go in."
With a determination in his heart, Scale grabbed his sister's hand, and after whispering a soft word to his sister, Scale bravely took his sister's hand and walked into the temple.
At this moment, in the temple, the four elders were already waiting, and when they saw the scales leading the butterfly in, the chief elder sighed in his heart.
"I wonder if the Great Elder asked me and my sister to come here for something important?"
Entering the temple, the scale let go of his sister's hand, looked up at the Great Elder who was standing on a tall statue of a golden snake, and asked.
"Scales, today we have already discussed, who should officially inherit the throne of the queen between the two of you, and our final choice is you."
Looking at the scales, the Great Elder said in a deep voice.
"It's me?!"
Hearing the Great Elder's words, the scales immediately took a slight step back, and their hearts sank.
Seeing Scale's expression, the Great Elder shook his head slightly, took out a golden snake blade from his arms, and threw it down, and the snake man fell in front of Scale, making a sonorous sound.
"Scale, according to the ancestral teachings of our snake people, there can only be one Medusa queen in each generation of our snake people, as long as you kill the butterfly, you are the Medusa queen of our generation!"
Looking at the scales, the Great Elder said in a solemn tone.
