Soon, a figure came out of the apse.

The steps are dignified and elegant, covered with light gauze, and he wears a fine robe made of silk, which is very different from the clothes of others.

However, although there was something to cover, with Qin Zhao's eyesight, he could naturally easily see through the other party's appearance.

He looks graceful and luxurious, looking like he is in his thirties, not as old as he imagined.

And the most important thing is that this person also has the courage to be lucky, not weaker than the previous Mingshu girl.

"Interesting, these two people are really not simple. With Yan Qingjun's ability and luck, it stands to reason that he is the most suitable for them. ”

Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking secretly in his heart.

After approaching, the high priest said softly, "Childe, you have finally woken up. Do you know that you are the chosen one of the rat gods? ”

His voice was soft and delicate, but the words that came out of his mouth surprised him a little.

"High Priest, I didn't understand what you meant."

"It doesn't matter, you'll be able to understand it later." The high priest's eyes were soft, and he looked at him quietly.

only to find that his eyes were like a deep pool, and he couldn't see through the thoughts in his heart.

He didn't have any surprise and excitement because he was chosen by the Rat God, and he didn't regard this incident as an honor, and he was a little uneasy in his heart.

"Thank you to the high priest for saving me, I don't know what to do next. To be honest, when I woke up this time, I seemed to have forgotten a lot of things. Seeing that the other party did not continue to explain the meaning of what he said just now, Qin Zhao did not force it, and changed the topic.

"There's nothing you need to do for the time being, just cultivate first, the shrine maiden will take care of you."

"Mikoto?" He was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Then he suddenly looked at the young woman beside him.

"Why, didn't Mingshu tell you her shrine maiden identity?" The high priest was also a little surprised when he saw this.

"High Priest, I haven't had time to tell Zhao Gongzi yet."

The high priest nodded, not paying attention, and said to her, "In that case, you should take him to familiarize yourself with the environment in the city." His memory is damaged, and I am afraid that life will be a little inconvenient. ”

"Yes."

Afterwards, Qin Zhao and Ming Shu left the temple together.

Looking at the backs of the two departing people, the high priest looked gloomy, and after a moment, he turned around and returned to the apse.

......

"The secrets of this world are deep." Qin Zhao, who had left the temple, said secretly in his heart.

Whether it was the strong convergence of beliefs, or the way of theocratic rule, the deformed social form, including the special situation of the high priest and the witch, all made him feel a little strange.

However, at this time, he is not very clear about the situation in this world after all, and he cannot act rashly.

"It's better to wait for the army to gather, it won't take too long to ......"

With the causal traction of the Streamer Battle Array, those soldiers in this realm will naturally come closer to him, and he can just wait quietly at this time.

When the army is in hand, combined with the unique military formation and military qi method of the Great Xia Terran clan, even if you can't easily suppress everything, you still have enough power to protect yourself, so naturally you don't need to be too cautious.

What's more, the generals in the Yulin Army, and even Yan Qingjun and Zi, are not easy to match.

"Can you walk with me out of town?"

Just as Qin Zhao was thinking, Ming Shu suddenly spoke.

"No problem, do you have any troubles with Miko-sama?" Qin Zhao looked at the young woman with a bright face next to him.

Ming Shu shook his head and didn't answer right away.

Seeing this, Qin Zhao didn't continue to ask any more questions, but walked out of the city with her.

The city here is also made of huge ashlar stones, but the scope of the whole city is not large, at least it is much smaller than the cities in Great Xia.

The city gate was on the north side, and after going out, Qin Zhao first looked around.

Further north, there is an endless primeval forest. Towering giant trees obscured the clouds and the sun, and in his senses, there seemed to be some unknown danger hidden in the remote forest.

To the west, a wide river flows southward.

To the east there are patches of farmland, which are irrigated by the river to the west.

At this time, there were many ordinary people who were doing farm work, and they seemed to see the two figures from a distance, or they saw the witch Mingshu who was out of the city, and saluted silently to this side.

Qin Zhao was a little surprised when he saw this.

With his cultivation, he can see the scene over there.

But ordinary mortals can't see such a distance.

Since the other party has made this move, it can prove at least two things.

One shows that they are very familiar with Ming Shu's temperament and figure, and they can recognize her with just a vague figure.

The second shows that these people have great respect for her, even if they know that the other party has not seen it, they will bow silently.

At this time, Ming Shu suddenly spoke, and there seemed to be some worry in his voice.

"Originally, in the temple, in addition to the high priest and me, there was also a holy woman."

"Holy Maiden?"

"Yes, Holy Maiden. I am in charge of the rituals of the Rat God, she is in charge of publicizing the merits of the Rat God, and the High Priest is in charge of the Temple. ”

"And now? Is the Holy Maiden not in the temple? ”

"The Holy Maiden was sent by the High Priest to other subordinate cities before, and has already left the main city of this temple."

"Did you often do that before?"

"No, it stands to reason that the Holy Maiden doesn't need to leave the temple......"

Hearing this, Qin Zhao didn't speak again, and glanced at the witch out of the corner of his eye, vaguely understanding what the other party was worried about.

Or rather, she is in a dilemma at this time.

The "holy woman" in Mingshu's mouth apparently had some kind of disagreement with the high priest, which led the high priest to send her out regardless of tradition.

But in this way, the triangular relationship that is the apex of power becomes two people, and the situation is no longer as stable as before.

Whether it is the imperial power or the theocracy system, the power struggle between human beings is not something you can avoid if you don't want to.

The people below are pushing you up, and the people above are watching for your backstab.

In this case, there is another lack of hub, how can there be no hidden dangers?

No matter how naïve Ming Shu is, after being a witch for so many years, he can still think about this kind of thing. What's more, she and the high priest were not so close in the first place.

Moreover, there is a slight difference in nature between theocracy and imperial power.

Imperial power can be called pure personal centralization, and the emperor's majesty is supreme.

And theocracy, although the so-called Pope, that is, the high priest of this world, is the nominal supreme ruler, but after all, the real object of people's faith is still the gods.

The high priest, the witch, and the holy woman each perform their own duties, and although they have high and low power in the eyes of ordinary people, they all belong to the spokesmen of God, and there is no essential difference in their actual status.

In this case, it is very debatable what Mingshu thought, what the high priest thought, and even what the idea of the holy woman who was "allocated" out.
