"I don't think I need to introduce myself. ”

Magellan stood in the room, watching all kinds of magic fly towards him from all sides, and then the essence discrept halfway through, dissipating with the gentle sound of the wind.

"Very clever use of the essence," said the countess, who lowered her right hand behind Magellan, "I have never seen it." ”

Magellan turned sideways and let the countess stand in the center of the room.

"For the fact that you have stolen important artifacts that we have excavated," said the countess with a polite smile on her face, but no one could ignore the dangerous aura on her, "is there any explanation, gentlemen?"

"That's not your thing!"

Magellan shook his head helplessly in his heart, the owner of this room and his companions were completely mediocre people, but they had caused him a lot of trouble, and he really didn't know whether to call himself unlucky, or completely turned into a waste.

"That's not your thing...... either"

"Isitar is not to be blasphemed!"

"Ah......," the countess laughed.

Magellan smiled and glanced at the people in the room with different expressions, then moved a chair from his hand and placed it behind the countess.

"What did you just say?" Isitar ......," the countess still smiled, her movements and tone graceful and impeccable, "that temple does belong to Isitar, and if you can prove that it belongs to you, then we will leave here." Don't take anything with you. ”

"That would have been ......"

"Pay attention to your attitude. Magellan did not hide the threat, he sneered at the man who wanted to argue with the countess, and closed his mouth with his gaze, "In front of you is a noble lady, and it is your honor that she is willing to talk to you." ”

There was an undercurrent of silence in the room.

Then an old man who had been sitting in a chair spoke: "The temple of Isitar should not be disturbed, we have kept this secret for thousands of years, you are wasting water in the desert. ”

"I have three camels. ”

The old man frowned.

He had just spoken of a proverb that was so popular in the desert that he who wasted water in the desert would surely die, and the countess replied with another proverb: "With a camel, a man will not die in the desert."

"We are human beings," the countess knew as soon as the old man spoke, "we are humans who have lived here since the time when Isitar was still alive, our ancestors, who have watched the fertile land between the great rivers turn into deserts, and watched the magicians and orcs come here from the East, and we have not forgotten our mission for thousands of years. ”

"What mission?"

The countess knew how to make a man fall in love with conversation, and she mastered the rhythm with subtle expressions and movements, making the old man want to say all he knew.

"Protect Isitar and keep her temple undisturbed. A complicated expression flashed across the old man's face, mixed with fear, pride, and endless memories, "People are always easily controlled by curiosity, but many times, that brings disaster. ”

"According to you," the countess seemed to have no opinion of the old man's words, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, "and there is a calamity hidden in the temple?"

"Isitar, the eternal bright star, the great goddess, the mother of the rivers, she disappeared to protect the land between the rivers, no one knows what is fighting her, and it is better that no one ever knows. ”

"What do you know?"

"I ......"

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse," the countess knew that the hostility of the men had eased, "and it was the Goddess who had led me here. ”

The countess held out a hand, and then a magic appeared in the air that Magellan had never seen before.

"That's ......"

Magellan couldn't hold back his laughter, he looked at the surprised expressions on the faces of everyone in the room except for him and the countess, and knew that the countess had succeeded.

For the vast majority of people in the world, seeing a magic work in exactly the same way is a completely fictional story, but for the countess, it is a very simple thing.

"The seal is about to be broken, only the power of the goddess can protect the world, but it's useless to stand aside and watch as before. ”

Magellan was already laughing, and he knew he had to say something, or else the solemn atmosphere would be completely ruined.

"How many of you are left?" Magellan's smile was filled with sincere mockery, "what can you do in the face of the goddess's former enemies? My master is the chosen one, she is the inheritor of the goddess's power, and you are holding her back, stupid, ridiculous!"

"We've been here for thousands of years! Not once has the goddess been disturbed! The temple is absolutely safe!"

Then the conversation went completely into the hands of the countess.

When they finally left, it was almost dawn.

......

"At least for thousands of years, the sacrifices of goddesses were widely distributed everywhere civilization went, and every temple was guarded by people who studied magic and were superior to others. ”

And after a long time, the people who still retain the noble traditions and ancient magic have become mere grave keepers.

The people who guard the temple in the city are descendants of sacrifices made thousands of years ago, and they have preserved much of their ancient magic and secret missions, but have completely lost their knowledge of the goddess and any connection to other sacrifices.

To put it simply, the long period of time has destroyed their knowledge and superiority, and these grave keepers are now just ordinary people who will be played around by the countess.

"They actually believed the stories...... Although I admit that it does sound reasonable......"

Magellan rarely laughs at the shortcomings of others because he thinks it is too mean, but this time, for some reason, he just couldn't help but want to laugh.

"What if those are all facts?"

"What?"

Magellan looked at the countess, and his instincts told him that the countess didn't seem to be joking.

"The goddess is gone, her disappearance really needs to be explained, and as for the so-called enemy, it will probably be that big event. As for the fact that you are the one chosen by the goddess, well......" Magellan smiled and shook his head, "Man is born different, and the only reason why you are stronger than others is ...... You are yourself. ”

"But ......," said the countess, facing Magellan, her eyes glowing blue, her voice roaring like a giant, her cheeks shining with metallic silver, "perhaps this is not the case. ”

"What a ......," Magellan was a little surprised, "impressive loot, where did you find it?"

"An accident. According to herself, a long time ago, people called her, Isitar. ”
