Nan Xiao also found another scroll, which was secretly recorded by a priestess of the sun named "Star".

She was clever enough to hide it in a sea of historical documents. Storm Guardian will never dig through the piles of old papers, only someone who wants to know the truth about history is likely to be interested in it.

She died, and before she died, she wanted to record why she died.

Today I am a star, the daughter of "Scarlet" and "Heart". Tomorrow I will be the daughter of the sun as a star. The Queen has proclaimed and given me priestly robes. Every girl in the village dreams of this honor. I saw my mother weeping with joy and my father's face full of pride. I've never seen him smile so much.

Because of this supreme honor, my family will be promoted to nobility. Even, one day, I may even succeed to the throne.

However, I couldn't hide my feelings. At first, I thought I was just nervous, but the uneasiness grew like weeds. I can't refuse the Queen's call, which will bring ruin to the family. However, I am really scared of Her Majesty.

Entering the palace means that nothing is lacking. As a priest of the Queen of the Sun, I am under one man and above ten thousand. I will learn writing, etiquette, history, warfare...... All the knowledge necessary to rule the nation.

The queen cared for all her priests, gentle, and attentive. But I always felt uneasy. Why is that? What am I afraid of?

On the next page, the priest "Star" wrote:

The queen is getting older and will soon be choosing a successor. I was scared of being chosen. I was regarded as the jewel of the Queen's palm, and I was very spoiled, and I was her most cherished first daughter. She always took me with her, groomed me, and gave me her favorite clothes. However, the uneasiness in my heart is indescribable.

What I couldn't stand was the way she looked at me. It's like...... She wasn't looking at me, she was appreciating her own reflection.

There is also a page at the end, which is written very quickly and the strokes are very messy. It can be seen that at that time, the priestess named "Star" knew that her time was short, and she did not have time to write in detail in a hurry, just to let people know how she died. She writes:

…… I had no choice but to accept my fate. Tonight, I will be sent to the Sun Chamber to complete the enthronement ceremony. But I'm never going to be a queen, because I've found out the truth. The Sun Queen, who was, is, and always is, is actually a twisted evil spirit. It has been stolen from the shells of generations of priestesses, continuing its life.

Priests are not allowed to carry weapons, but I have snuck a dagger. May that demon not find out what I was going to do, and I have made up my mind that I will end it all tonight. In order not to let the other priestesses fall into the same fate as me, for the sake of Yamatai and my motherland.

After reading many scrolls repeatedly, Nan Xiao already knew a lot about the succession ceremony of the Sun Queen. It seems that this is a relatively weak evil spirit. It doesn't even have the ability to maintain the immortality of its shell, and can only steal it from the human body. When one generation of priests grew old, he replaced the next.

The "Sun Chamber", where the succession ceremony was held, is located in the depths of this ancient shrine. As long as you pass through the temple-like ceremonial buildings on the upper floor, you should be able to see it.

Himiko must be hiding in the Sun Chamber, and he is vulnerable. As long as you can meet her face to face, it will not be difficult to clean up.

However, the Storm Guardians guard any artery leading to the depths of the Temple. No people and dogs of the Brotherhood of the Sun are allowed to enter, otherwise they will be killed. Himiko trusts her undead legion the most. In her eyes, the Brotherhood of the Sun is probably just a tool to find a successor.

How do I get into the Solar Vault?

Recklessness is of course an option. But that's where the Storm Guardians need to be defeated. There are probably a few hundred of them left, but each one is terrifying in combat.

It's not that you can't win, but recklessness will give Himiko too much warning time. Even if she is given one more minute, she may be made out of some demon moth. For example, what if she blew herself up, wouldn't it be no good?

Be sure to give Himiko the illusion that she thinks "it's almost a success" so that she can stabilize her and not turn her face until the end.

The fire ritual is key. Since Laura is the vessel of the soul personally selected by Himiko, the fire ritual is bound to be successful. She won't be hurt in the slightest, the wind will blow out the fire.

At that time, you can enter the Sun Chamber in the name of making sacrifices.

Himiko, you can't escape the palm of my hand......

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a man from the Brotherhood of the Sun hurried in and said, "Boss, no, the woman named Laura has run away!" ”

"Ran away?"

Nan Xiao was furious and gave the newspaper a mouthful: "How did you run away?" Didn't you hang her in a morgue? Tell me, how did a woman with her hands tied and hanging from an iron hook escape? ”

"Rope...... I don't know why the rope that binds her breaks! It may have been broken, but it was obviously the strongest hemp rope used, and it was wrapped many times......"

"Stop talking nonsense, go search for it! Get her back! Also、Absolutely not to hurt her, not to use a gun, understand? ”

released Mao Yuyu to investigate, and found that Laura had indeed escaped from the morgue far away. She had avoided patrols and had infiltrated the nearby burial chamber dedicated to the first Himiko. There is a complete set of murals painted with succession ceremonies. She was studying the murals and seemed to have a catch.

In order to ensure that Laura did not have any accidents on the way to escape, Nan Xiao had to order Mao Yuyu to put a trench shotgun on the way she had to escape. With such a melee weapon, Laura will never lose to those who pursue her.

Sure enough, someone found Laura and rushed into the tomb to arrest her. That's when the shotgun made a meritorious service. Trolls are invincible within a few meters. No matter how strong a person is, he will die if he is shot head-on.

Laura killed a dozen people and fled.

There were successive reports coming from the front. Some say she was found near the priest's living room on the lower level of the temple. didn't stop it, she killed several people, smashed the floor and escaped.

"Keep chasing!" Nan Xiao ordered, "I don't want to listen to the casualty figures, I just want you to catch her." It has to be unscathed, you know? ”

Soon news came that Laura had escaped to the Brotherhood of the Sun base down the mountain. For decades, the Brotherhood of the Sun built houses there using timber from the remains of an ancient village and iron sheets collected from shipwrecked ships. Because of the lack of planning, it was extremely disorganized, with various houses stacked on top of each other.

In the battle at the foot of the mountain, Laura showed her might, killing hundreds of people in the fraternity by herself.
