On the other side, after Nan Xiao teleported away, he immediately used illusion to transform back into Matthias.

Coming out of their room, everyone bowed their heads. Everyone felt that the majesty of the leader was heavier, and they did not dare to look at it directly.

"There's a plane down," Nan Xiao said briefly, "go and catch all the parachuted pilots." They put a smoke screen for help, which was easy to find. Remember to catch it alive! It's useless to be dead," he stressed, "and I'm going to use them as bait for them to be alive." ”

The Brotherhood of the Sun is more numerous and familiar with the roads, much faster than Laura. Soon, they caught the lead and co-pilot of the parachute. According to Nan Xiao's orders, the two pilots were taken to the ancient sacrificial hall in the mountains and tied up like rice dumplings.

A group of skeletal ancient samurai emerged from the temple, armed with katanas, and surrounded the people of the Brotherhood of the Sun. The samurai at the head was more than two meters tall and dragged a large wooden stick with a blade. It's hard to imagine what it would be like to be smashed by such a heavy and sharp guy, it's so cruel.

Nan Xiao was not afraid, and took the initiative to meet him, saying, "I, Matthias, are the chosen people of Himiko. I will bring her a suitable heir. ”

The giant warrior led by him glared at Nan Xiao coldly, and the giant knife and stick in his hand grinded on the ground, as if he was about to smash down on Nan Xiao's head in the next moment.

Nan Xiao stood there calmly, not running away or hiding.

The two were in a stalemate for a while, and perhaps the giant samurai received Himiko's instructions and finally retreated.

Nan Xiao waved his hand and motioned to his subordinates: "Put those two pilots on the other side of the bridge, and you can find a place around the bridge to ambush." ”

The men immediately began to work and worship the Boss: worthy of the Holy Father! Dare to talk to the goblin samurai head-on. And the goblin samurai followed his instructions!

The people of the Brotherhood of the Sun were even more in awe of their leader, "Matthias", and did not dare to disobey Nan Xiao's instructions in the slightest.

It didn't take long for Laura to follow the distress smoke and find her. She cautiously went all the way in, very vigilant, but to no avail. Her every move is under Nan Xiao's surveillance at all times.

See the pilot!

The two pilots on the other side of the bridge sat on the ground and writhed excitedly when they saw Laura appear. It's a pity that they can't say a word. Nan Xiao had already ordered them to be gagged.

Laura was trying to cross the bridge to save people, and suddenly she was surrounded!

Surrounded by people from the Brotherhood of the Sun. They rose from the grass with bows and arrows, clubs, and axes in their hands.

In addition, there is a terrifying team of skeleton warriors. They stood silently on the other side of the bridge, watching, waiting.

Laura raised her bow and arrows and looked around.

I'm afraid it's really troublesome this time, and I'm in trouble...... She felt bitter in her heart, Rose was right, I couldn't have saved everyone.

"Lay down your arms!" With the face of "Matthias", Nan Xiao shouted at Laura very arrogantly, "As far as a little ghost is concerned, you really caused me a lot of trouble. But you're too young, you're innocent, in other words, you're naïve! Do you see the samurai behind me? Her Majesty Himiko, Queen of the Sun, asked me to bring you a message, as long as you surrender, we will not hurt anyone. ”

Realizing that the tide was turning, Laura threw down her bow and arrows. She still had a little expectation in her heart, and said, "You will lose!" She remembered the figure with three pairs of white wings, and believed that there would be a moment when he would step on the colorful clouds and descend from the sky to save everyone.

"Tie it up," Nan Xiao ordered, "she is the person the queen wants, and she is definitely not allowed to hurt her." ”

Matthias had no way to get close to Himiko before, so he had to run errands on the periphery. But today is different. Laura is a key that allows access to Himiko's shrine.

Caught again, Laura was pressed to the ground and tied up. Someone put a black cloth on her head, and she felt black in front of her......

Standing in a certain room on the periphery of the sacrificial hall, Nan Xiao calmed down and instructed the people of the Sun Brotherhood to do this and that. "The ritual of fire sacrifice must be prepared," he commanded, "and until then, not a single hair of the woman must be broken, or I will hang you upside down in the morgue until you die." ”

With the credit of "capturing Laura alive", Nan Xiao was allowed to enter the temple. The Storm Guardian walked around him, ignoring him, apparently at the behest of Himiko.

The massive scrolls in the ancient sacrificial hall were equivalent to being exposed to him. Himiko seems to have paid little attention to these historical documents, throwing them around in the corners of the palace.

Stupid, these are the real priceless treasures, and the things they record on them are very helpful.

For example, right now, Nan Xiao is reading a book of silk. Judging from the tone of the writer, he should have been an envoy sent by a certain country to Yamatai:

-------------------------

After fourteen days of waiting, Her Majesty Queen Himiko of Yamadai finally summoned me. I must admit that she was unlike any woman I had ever met. She is beautiful, so people can't guess their minds, and even scheming. Surrounding Her Majesty are hordes of priestesses of the sun. Except for the generals of the army, no other men were on their side.

The Lord sent me to spy on Himiko and learn about the strength of her army. However, now I feel that she has completely figured out the details.

Perhaps the lord underestimated the threat of the kingdom of Yamatai. Although I can't accurately measure the strength of the Storm Guardian Legion, I have to say that the majesty of the Sun Queen is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I had the opportunity to chat with some of the villagers on the island. I was forbidden to leave the palace without permission, but I had to complete my mission.

The villagers believe that the queen can communicate with the world of the gods. They say she has control over the rain and shines, so her will alone can ensure abundance. When they mentioned the Queen, I could see the absolute reverence in their eyes. Her people are treated fairly, are properly taxed, and are well protected by the Storm Guardians.

Finally, it's time for me to get out of Yamatai. I still don't know where the Sun Queen's power comes from, but I'm sure it's an extraordinary power. I must warn the lord and advise him not to provoke the country under any circumstances. Otherwise, it will only lead to the ruin of the country and the destruction of the family.

As for the horrors in the darkness that I saw......

-------------------------

At the end of the scroll, several small drawings are drawn using the Gongbi technique. After thousands of years, it is not very clear, but it can still be seen that it is a woman tied to a stone pillar, and the bottom is full of firewood. It seems that this envoy had witnessed the fire ritual of Himiko choosing his successor.

Maybe it's to observe how the Sun Priestesses face death in order to pick the most suitable vessel for their souls, or maybe it's simply to destroy the undesirable candidates. In short, only one of the Sun Priestesses of a generation becomes the next queen, and the others are to be burned to death. And the one who was lucky enough to be chosen was not very lucky, and even worse.
