Chapter 37: I'm Curious

The visitor sat lazily on the couch of the high sedan chair, his eyes indifferent but with a hint of pleasure.

"I am the High Priestess here, Esther Zarathustra, and I will allow you to call me Esther."

Staying on the top for a long time makes Estes quite majestic, and her dress can't help but remind Ye You of the Egyptian pharaoh, who is like a grave collision with Laer.

And the name Estes also makes Ye You quite visual, but the image is really too far from the Ice Queen.

The sedan chair fell, she walked down slowly, and the guide who took Ye You and waited for him was already kneeling respectfully on the ground.

"Welcome to the Kukulkan Temple."

"Kukulkan? A feathered god? Quetzalcoatl. Ye You asked.

"Oh? You actually know. ”

"I understand a little."

"This is a temple dedicated to alien gods. The boulder behind this temple is a star core dug up from Chicxulub, a real visitor from the sky. ”

"See, do you like wrestling here?"

The high priest was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "This gentleman is really interesting. However, as a matter of formality, let me introduce you to this country that I created. ”

The high priest walked with Ye You and the others to the meteorite behind the temple, "In this way, let's go to the meteorite behind the temple and sit first." Just to let you know more about this country, or if you have any requirements for coming here, you can also tell me. ”

The high priest took Ye You and the others to the inside of the meteorite, which had been covered and built into a splendid palace.

Wide passages with Roman columns on both sides that extend to the end.

"The inhabitants have lived on the land for 5,000 years, but their society is still very primitive, with no livestock to farm. But it's not a 'people' problem, geographically the Yucca Peninsula itself is a poor mountain.

There are no domestic animals to plough the land, because there are no suitable domesticated beasts, there is no metallurgical technology, because there are no mines.

The people of this island have worked hard here for generations, but nothing has progressed. If it weren't for the fact that I didn't know how old it was, I would have thought I had drifted to primitive times. They were forever bound to this island. ”

The high priest told his origin, and like Ye You and the others, he was not the aborigines of this world, but also from other worlds.

"So, I spread civilization and freedom on this island and established a 'federation'."

Then, be the king yourself......

can't say that he approves and opposes, but Ye You still looks like "you are so powerful" on the surface.

While speaking, they had come to the deepest part of the palace.

It's like an underground vault, and it feels depressing.

"High Priestess."

Rita spoke up, "Did you come up with the concept of 'Nacombe', or 'everyone must absolutely revere Superman'?" ”

"It is that in order to maintain the normal functioning of the country, faith that is deeply rooted in the bone marrow is indispensable."

The High Priest rightfully returned.

Bianca subconsciously frowned, this approach is almost like a dictatorial tyrant.

It is said that it brings civilization and freedom, but it is probably just to satisfy his own selfish desires.

However, Valkyrie has nothing to blame for this.

However, at this moment, the air in the secret room of the palace became strange.

Bianca suddenly felt lightheaded, and her consciousness faded away.

This is...... Anaesthetic......?

I don't know when the air is filled with colorless, odorless, nerve-paralyzing gases.

Then with a bang, Bianca fell.

Only the High Priest was present, standing.

The corners of her mouth slowly rose, like a demonic smile,

"Well, the late night breeze has blown, and the sleeping people, forever anchored in their dreams. Your flesh and blood will be sacrificed to keep me in the gods forever. ”

The High Priest bared his scarlet tongue and licked his lips, "This world of the Endless Void only needs 'one' Superman to suffice. So, which cute guy started eating. ”

“?”

Anyone still stands up?

Rita staggered to her feet, "You...... Don't...... Move a finger of Lord Bianca......"

I was here, and I actually made such a serious mistake.

She pretended to greet us at first, just to trick us into the chamber and release the anesthetic gas unsuspectingly.

Judging from the self-description just now, it seems that she can gain power by devouring us?

Damn it!

Careless.

Rita gritted her teeth.

"Huh? After inhaling so much anesthetic gas, do you still have the strength to stand up? ”

The High Priestess stared at the Valkyrie in front of him, "But, with the way you're stumbling now, what can you do for your Lord Bianca-poof." ”

Her words came to an abrupt halt, and a sharp pain came from her chest.

The high priest lowered his head in a daze, his chest as if he had been pierced by something, blood flowing out of his clothes.

“......?”

What's going on?

The high priest looked back blankly, and saw only a man, who was still some distance away from him, but whose hands were in a strange position, holding something as if he were holding a sword.

Before she could wonder, she saw the man's hand slowly dragging something back, and then something like something stuck in his chest was slowly withdrawn, and the high priest closed his eyes forever.

Rita saw the High Priest fall, and in the end, Ye You was the only one holding the holy sword Glolandal, and her consciousness also sank into the deepest part of her mind in accordance with the endless exhaustion coming from the depths of her brain.

Good thing there is...... Lord Ye You......

When Rita opened her eyes again, it was under a vast blue sky.

The refreshing breeze blowing from the jungle, the warm sunshine, and the soft grass beneath you.

"Good afternoon, Rita."

"Lord Ye You......"

"Did you sleep well?"

"Hmm."

Rita, who was still lying down, put her hand on her forehead and looked at the clear blue sky.

"Is Lord Bianca-sama alright?"

She turned her head, and Bianca lay next to her, breathing evenly.

"It's okay, I'm sleeping soundly now. She's still young and in the process of growing her body, so she's recovering a little slower than yours. The captain and the others are also using the equipment left by the high priest to take care of them with the help of Urlandelle, and according to her estimates, they will wake up in about half an hour. ”

Rita's voice was a little lost, "Thank you." ”

"No, I just know how to breathe, so I didn't get hit, and even if I fall, Glolander will protect the master."

"Glondelle?"

"Well, she's been following us incognito."

“...... It's really worthy of Lord Ye You. ”

Looking at Rita's somewhat lost face, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, just to deal with a sudden crisis." The less people know about the secret methods, the better. I hope you will forgive me. ”

Rita's voice was a little ethereal, "No, I'm afraid of this kind of thing, of course I understand." How could I blame Lord Ye You. I just feel useless, and it's my dereliction of duty to be in that predicament. It seems that my cultivation as a maid is far from enough. ”

The maid turned around, her gray hair slid down her white skin, and her burgundy pupils stared at Ye You with an upward gaze,

"Lord Ye You, didn't you ask me why I was so obsessed with maids last time?"

"Well, I'm curious."

"Then Lord Ye You, would you like to listen to me tell a story?"

Rita stared at Ye You, her thoughts gradually drifting to the distant past.
