Chapter Eighty-Seven: Shelifa
After taking advantage of Kyoko Kirishima's special properties to plot to kill Rena, Lin Yuedong picked up the replica of the Heavenly Cloud Sword that Kyoko Kirishima had thrown on the ground, and turned to the masked maid who had been hiding in the corner of the cell trembling since just now.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. God heard your prayers and sent me to retrieve the magic stone. It's just that I lost that badge, and now I can't prove myself...... Anyway, I'll get you out first, and I'll talk about it later, how about it? Lin Yuedong asked for her consent.
The maid hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Lin Yuedong stretched out his hand to take off the mask on the maid's face, and unsurprisingly, behind it was a pretty face with an Indian style, which looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with very complex tattoos on her forehead, which looked quite mysterious. Her mouth was firmly gagged by a mouthball, and it was no wonder that she had never spoken.
After he used the replica sword to cut off the mouth ball, Xie Lifa raised his hands again: "This, please deal with it too." ”
Well, I speak English, but I think the Guardians only speak Mayan......
Lin Yuedong took a closer look and found that there was an almost transparent rope between her hands, restricting the range of movement of her hands.
He also cut the rope, Xie Lifa moved his hands that were finally free, and bowed deeply to Lin Yuedong: "Brave sir, thank you very much for saving me." I am none other than the last survivor of the Guardians, Shellah, the priest of Quetzalcoatl. ”
"This is what I should do, after all, if I don't save you, I won't be able to get the magic stone." Lin Yuedong said.
"That's something else to thank. For a long time, the Guardians have been weakening and will no longer be able to defend this relic one day. That's why I want to entrust the world-destroying magic stone to the gods before the Guardian clan is completely wiped out. The fact that the gods are willing to grant me such a willful request really makes me very happy! Xie Lifa said with a little excitement.
Lin Yuedong said casually: "In the final analysis, the gods also want the world to become better, and it is inevitable that they will agree." ”
Shelifa shook her head: "No, this is a problem of human beings themselves, the gods are willing to help us, it is a great kindness, we should know how to be grateful." Thank you very much for bothering you so hard for our willfulness! ”
Lin Yuedong was a little impressed: "It's very polite." Well, then I'll accept your gratitude. So, where is that all-important magic stone? I remember that there is no magic stone in the list of objects unearthed on the surface of the ruins, but it is in the deep layers of the ruins? ”
"Yes. It was in the inner vault, and only the Guardians knew how to get in. But before that, I want to finally confirm your identity. ”
"Uh, so I lost my badge to prove my identity......"
"It doesn't matter, I have another way. At the end of my prayer, I heard God speak to me and promise to answer my prayer. Can you repeat what she said? If you were an apostle of God, you must know! ”
Xie Lifa looked at Lin Yuedong expectantly, as if he could definitely answer.
But the problem is that she prayed with a wooden pen, not to Lin Yuedong, how did Lin Yuedong know how the wooden pen responded at that time?
Is it "sign a contract with me and become a magical girl"? Or "I ask you, are you my contractor"? Or "the day is blue, the night is boundless." There is nothing to hide"?
With the unreliable style of the wooden pen, it is possible to say anything!
"Well, although I am indeed an apostle sent by her, her answer to prayer should be basically known only to her, right?" Lin Yuedong asked tentatively.
No, she said things very regularly and should be a generic reply to prayer! Don't you know? Cherifa was a little wary.
"So, I'm just an apostle, not God Himself, and even I ...... how God answers prayer."
Lin Yuedong was just halfway through his words, but suddenly stopped.
Because he suddenly found that at some point in his mind, a strange memory suddenly appeared!
In this memory, a group of people dressed in strange costumes are praying to an idol. The face of that god was a little blurry, but Lin Yuedong recognized that it was the previous generation of ice gods who had to spin in his mind from time to time.
As these people prayed, the idols gradually lit up, and when the brightness of the light reached its brightest, the idol of the ice god suddenly spoke up and said four words.
“…… As a god, he protects the world. Sincerely pray, do not allow anything? ”
He slowly repeated these four sentences. After Xie Lifa heard this, the vigilant look on his face quickly disappeared, and he turned into a smile again: "That's right, these are the four sentences!" I was shocked to think you were a fake. ”
Xie Lifa was relaxed, but Lin Yuedong was nervous. This memory is definitely not his own, so could it be from the Ice Godhead? Does the Ice Godhead still have the role of inheriting memories?
It had already made Lin Yuedong very uneasy when he made those four pictures, and now he was forcibly instilling memories, what else would he have in the future? What secrets does this ice godhead have that he doesn't know?
As soon as he thought that his biggest reliance was that he didn't know the details at all, and would indoctrinate him with a bunch of things that he didn't have, he felt a chill in his back, and only the wooden pen guaranteed to comfort him a little.
But if the wooden pen doesn't tell the truth either......
No, there's no reason for her to deceive herself about this kind of thing. Lin Yuedong thought. A small person like himself seems to have nothing to deceive with a wooden pen.
"What's wrong with you? It doesn't look good. Ah, is it because of a dislocation? In that case, I have a way to treat it. Xie Lifa asked with concern.
"Can you treat a dislocation? Then please! Lin Yuedong's eyes lit up. It's not a problem to dislocate your arm all the time, but it's best if you can connect it.
"Of course, as a priest of the clan, healing and healing are also within my scope." Xie Lifa said with a slight smugness.
She held Lin Yuedong's shoulder with one hand and his upper arm with the other, and with a single stroke, she returned Lin Yuedong's dislocated arm to its original position.
Lin Yuedong moved a little, only felt that it was still a little painful, but he was able to ensure basic activities: "The technique is awesome, thank you." ”
Xie Lifa said modestly: "You saved my life, it's just a trivial matter. ”
"So, can we go find the magic stone now?"
"Since you are sure that you are an apostle of God, then I can naturally hand over the magic stone to you. Please come this way with me. Shelifa said, walking in the direction of the prison stairs.
But when she reached the top of the stairs, she didn't stop, but continued on, as if she didn't see the stairs at all.
"Huh? Don't you go out? Lin Yuedong said.
"No, the passage to the ground floor is in the preparation room." Shelifa replied.
"Prep room?"
"This is it. You may call it a prison, but it was never a prison. This is the preparation room for our people's sacrifice to Quetzalcoatl, and those rooms are actually prepared for the sacrifice of life. ”
Sacrifice of life......
Lin Yuedong remembered. The Mayan sacrifices to Quetzalcoatl were often bloody, and the sacrifices included living people in addition to a large number of treasures. Prisoners captured in battle, people who volunteered to sacrifice themselves (the Mayans believed that it was a glorious thing to be sacrificed to the gods), and the losing side of the contest were sacrificed to Quetzalcoatl with their hearts.
In other words, these rooms were actually built by the Mayans for the sacrifices to be used for temporary habitation. At the same time, because the sacrifice will include the captives of the enemy side, is it also a special type to suppress superpowers to avoid resistance?
It's really a bloody ruin......
"Huh? If this is the preparation room, the place where you offer sacrifices to Quetzalcoatl must be ......"
"Yes, it's the Inner Treasury! It is the location of all the treasures left by Quetzalcoatl, and it is also the closest place to Quetzalcoatl. If you perform sacrifices there, you will be able to get more attention from the gods! This place is a secret place that only our guardians know! ”
Xie Lifa said proudly. But soon, her mood turned depressed again, "However, now only I know." Asharam, Yax, Pancha...... Everybody's dead. ”
"Condolences change. I have seen the battlefields you left behind, and they died heroically. Lin Yuedong comforted.
"Well, it's okay." Cherifa shook her head and forced a smile, "Their souls have returned to the glorious Arkadian Fields, and the noble name that the Sun has bestowed upon them has engraved on my heart, leaving the flesh and blood bestowed upon them by the Fountain of Life in this world. They have rested in the arms of Quetzalcoatl, and there is no more calamity to disturb them, which should be something to be happy about. ”
Lin Yuedong looked at Xie Lifa, who was forced to laugh, and suddenly felt as if he saw himself after that incident. At that time, I also forcibly suppressed my sadness and anger in the deepest part of my heart, pretending that nothing happened, and living every day calmly.
Now that I think about it, it was just a disguise that wasn't calm or brave.
He reached out and touched Xie Lifa's head with some emotion, and said, "Don't force yourself. I don't know much about religion and the like, but the separation of yin and yang is not easy for the living. If you're sad, cry out, it'll be much easier. ”
"I, no, grief. I'm fine, really...... Very good......" Cherifa said, but large tears fell from her eyes.
The whole clan died overnight, leaving only one person in the world, and still having to be tortured by the Holt company to not tell the truth, for a teenage girl, it was really too much pressure.
"Cry, cry all. Holding tears in my heart will only hurt myself. Lin Yuedong sighed lightly, hugged Xie Lifa in his arms, and let her indulge in her tears, wetting her clothes.
Back then, if I could cry like this, would it be different?
After crying happily, Xie Lifa raised her head a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm ...... Stained your clothes. ”
"It's okay, it's just a little tear, it'll be dry soon." Lin Yuedong said indifferently, "Do you feel better?" ”
"I'm fine. This time, it's really fine. Xie Lifa wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said firmly, "The Guardian Clan has been destroyed, and this long fate of being bound should also come to an end." ”
"What a strong girl. As a consolation, let me tell you a fact. Lin Yuedong thought for a moment and said, "One of the culprits who destroyed the Guardian Clan in the first place, called the Rojos family, has been destroyed. ”
"House Rojos?" Xie Lifa's eyes lit up, "I remember the name!" It's true? ”
"Of course it's true." Lin Yuedong briefly described the process of how he instigated the Baxter Gang to destroy the Rojos family, "...... So the Rojos family is completely finished. It's just that the strength of the Holt company is too strong, and even I am a little powerless. ”
"That's enough!" Xie Lifa bowed to Lin Yuedong again, and said excitedly, "Very, thank you very much for avenging us!" This kindness, I, Shellah, the priest of Quetzalcoatl, swear in my own name that I will never forget! ”
"There's no need to be so solemn......" Lin Yuedong scratched his head, "Let's go, Xie Lifa, let's go and end this!" ”
"Well, okay!" Xie Lifa nodded vigorously.
