Chapter 1388: Invitation
The High Priest Attendant ignored the Elven Empress standing aside, bowed his head at me, and said respectfully: "The High Priest said that Lord An Xiaoyi can come in, and his friends can also come in, but no one is allowed to ask her questions, nor can they plead. ”
"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.
"The High Priest said that your question, which has nothing to do with you, was asked for your friend, and your friend's question, she had already answered it once many years ago."
"Can't you just answer it again?"
"Yes," the waiter smiled, "but the high priest said that it was not yet time." ”
I froze in place, a little dazed.
I thought I would be able to show my skills and beg the high priest for help, but unexpectedly, people already knew my intentions, and before they entered the door, they blocked all my ways out.
It's really a slap in the face!
Squeezing out a smile with difficulty, I spread my hands at the Elven Empress, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but there's nothing I can do. ”
"It's already good," said the Elven Empress, "Thank you for bringing me over and letting me hear hope, didn't the High Priest say 'It's not time yet', that is, one day in the future, the reason why my grandmother said that sentence, she will still tell me, won't she?" ”
The Empress's eyes were full of hope, and she longed for a sure answer, to dispel her inner turmoil.
I nodded, with an unusually serious expression, and affirmed, "Yes." ”
This time, for me, it was indeed a futile, because I did not get the answer I wanted.
However, the Elven Empress seemed to be very satisfied, and even the expression on her face was much more relaxed than when she came.
Although I didn't get a definite answer, at least I didn't refuse, leaving hope and expectation at the same time.
Before leaving, the waiter respectfully invited me aside and said softly: "The High Priest said, Lord An Xiaoyi must be dissatisfied with this result, but the reality is like this, there are some things, you can't be in a hurry, you can only wait, I hope Lord An Xiaoyi will remember the teachings of the High Priest." ”
With that, we walked back to our place and sent us off.
When I got home and explained the matter to everyone, I was relentlessly attacked by Princess Anareta.
The little princess said unhappily: "An Xiaoyi, aren't you very powerful, why can't you even do this thing!" Hmph, that high priest is really rude, even if he doesn't meet my sister, he even gave a shut up order, it's so hateful! ”
"Don't be rude!"
Without waiting for Cagalli to speak, the Elven Empress took the lead in scolding, saying, "Do you know who the High Priest is, just talk nonsense there!" ”
"Isn't it just an orc pretending to be a ghost?" Princess Anareta said aggrieved.
The elven empress raised her eyebrows, her face was gloomy, and she was about to open her mouth to scold again, so I hurriedly stopped her and said, "Your Excellency, let me talk about this." ”
I turned to the little princess and said, "Princess Anareta, you are still young, and your knowledge is limited, and it is normal not to know, that orc high priest, she is an old man who has lived for a thousand years, and often helps some people to calculate the future, even your grandmother was favored by her back then, but for this point, you should respect her, right?" ”
The little princess stared at me for a long time, and then suddenly turned her head sideways, and focused her gaze on the elven queen's face, and saw the empress nodding slightly, and then she lowered her head and stopped squeaking.
Since birth, the little princess has been favored by the Elven Empress, and she has no parental discipline, and has always been unscrupulous, so it can be said that except for her master Emily and the Elven Empress, there is no one to fear.
Being able to bow your head this time is also a rare attitude of admitting mistakes.
When the elf queen saw the little princess like this, she no longer scolded her, and patted her head gently, which was considered comforting.
"By the way, Elder An Xiaoyi," the Elven Empress suddenly asked, "What did the orc Great Priest attendant say to you before we left?" ”
"He said that the high priest told me that there were some things that could not be rushed, and that I had to wait, and to be honest, I didn't quite understand what that meant."
When I heard my words, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Cagalli said: "Since it is the High Priestess, then there must be a reason for her, maybe in the future there will be a 'rush to come, can only wait' thing." ”
I nodded, half-perfunctory, "Maybe." ”
After dinner, sending the Elven Empress and the others back, and then walking home alone, I kept thinking about what the High Priest had told me, but I just couldn't figure out what was in a hurry and needed to wait.
If you think about it according to common sense, there are indeed many things that you can't rush to, such as eating, you can't just pour it into your mouth just out of the pot, you can't burn and cry, such as taking a bath, you can't even jump in without taking off your clothes, you will definitely be scolded, and then for example, when you go to the toilet, you must take off your pants first.
But it is clear that the high priest will not be so boring.
I thought about it until late at night, and I didn't have a clue, so I simply stopped thinking about it and closed my eyes to rest.
The next day, there was no race.
Speaking of which, the Japanese Championship Five-in-Three Tournament is not a literal five-in-three tournament team, but six, namely: the Golden Flame Guild in Ari City, the Silver Wing Guild in Yorkhan City, the Iron Wolf Guild in Dasai City, the Dwarven Guild in Vechburg, the Rose Legion in Moonlight City, and the Rose Legion in Dasai City.
The latter two guilds have the same name, but they are independent.
Not only that, but in the ten-in-five competition, it was supposed to be only the top five, but the results of the Rose Legion of Dasai City were the same as the results of the Silver Wing Guild, and it was not easy to choose between the two, and the referees refused to have an extra match, and after discussion, it was unanimously agreed that these six guilds would enter the top five together.
In order to prevent this from happening in the top five, the referees agreed that the six guilds could only leave up to three in the end, and if the third and fourth places had the same results, they would no longer compete in the top three, but divide the third and fourth places to compete for the third place, while the top two would directly go to the final to compete for the championship and runner-up.
When the rules were finalized, one of the five guilds protested, but the jury ignored the guild's protest rhetoric based on the idea that the minority caters to the majority.
Just kidding, the things decided by the jury have to be changed as soon as they protest, and where to put the majesty of the jury away!
It's right to think about it, the referees invited by the Zephyr Championship are all important elder-level figures in the adventurer's base, and they are not something that ordinary people can threaten, even if the other party is a city lord, they have to weigh their proportions when talking to them.
There wasn't an Emily or the Dwarven Legion game today, but I still had to go to the arena to watch the game because I had received an invitation that I couldn't refuse.
The initiator of this invitation is the supreme leader of Dasai City, the head of the orc clan, the orc king, Fergus Raphael.
