Xia You followed Maya out of the banquet hall, and the two of them walked towards the interior of the Sea Temple.

By the time the banquet had been held, it had become dark outside, and the candles in the hallway had been lit again.

The warm and dim candlelight illuminated the stone slab under the feet of the two, and the familiar sound of whirlpool water once again reached Xia You's ears.

Along the way, he also wanted to ask some questions about the inheritance ceremony, but Maya seemed to have some concerns, and she didn't want to reveal any information, which made it mysterious.

Never mind......

Since Maya didn't want to say more, Xia You didn't bother to ask anything more.

After all, no matter what kind of ritual it is, he believes that Maya will not harm himself after all.

In fact, in private, Xia You also thought about a question from time to time, that is, why did he change differently from others after accepting the blessing of the soul of the sea at that time.

But don't talk about himself, even Maya doesn't know about such a strange change.

Sometimes he even thinks again, it can't be related to his identity as a traverser, right?

After all, apart from this, he really couldn't think of any difference between himself and the others.

In this way, both of them were a little silent, but each had some thoughts.

And when they finally came to a room, Xia You looked up at the door, but was surprised to find that this was Maya's bedroom!

Well!?

Isn't it about the inheritance ceremony? How did you get here?

Is it going to be held in her room?

Or is there something I need to pick up first?

With such doubts in mind, he followed Maya into the room.

Compared to the mess of the last time I visited, this place has been completely restored, and there is no trace of any damage to be seen.

There were also two maids in the room at this time, and when they saw Xia You coming in, they walked up to the front and took off their coats for him without waiting for Xia You's refusal.

When he arrived here, Xia You couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, looked at Maya and asked, "Miss Maya, what exactly is the inheritance ceremony you are talking about?" ”

Maya walked to the balcony, glanced at the moon, and then turned to face Xia You, as if she didn't mean to hide it anymore, but slowly spoke: "Since the establishment of the Sea Temple, our Grand Priest has always been the leader of the Temple, and it has always been a woman, which is both a tradition and an unchangeable rule. ”

Xia You nodded, he had also heard Xiu Yi mention this matter when he was on a speedboat before, it seems that the position of the great priest has indeed been held by women since ancient times.

But it's good, why mention this?

Maya continued: "Women are less confused by money, status, beauty, and other things than men, they are more neutral, and they are not overtly politically inclined, so they are really helpful for the development of the temple, they do not lead us astray, and they have always enjoyed a transcendent status in the Vortex Islands, but there is one thing that has been bothering us since ancient times. ”

Xia You smiled: "You are all so rich and powerful, there are still things that can be bothered?" ”

Maya took a deep look at Xia You: "It's a matter of inheritance!" ”

Inheritance......

Xia You restrained her smile and did not speak, but patiently waited for her next step.

"I'm ashamed," Maya sighed, "For the first one or two hundred years of the Temple of the Sea, the position of High Priest was always occupied by capable people, and when a suitable heir appeared, the throne was passed on to them, but hundreds of years ago, my ancestors, out of a desire for power, kept the position of High Priest firmly in their hands, and changed this tradition, passing it on to their descendants, which continues to this day. ”

Xia You also remembered at this time that Maya had indeed mentioned that she had taken over the position of priest from her mother.

It seems that as she said, the position of the high priest has indeed been firmly held by her family all along.

At this moment, the moonlight shone on Maya's body, making her even more holy, as if covered with a layer of silver sand.

She said firmly: "As a member of the family, I will inevitably need to give birth to my own children in the future, and continue to pass on the bloodline and the position of the Great Priest." ”

This was already said very bluntly, and Xia You vaguely realized something.

"So ......"

Maya took a few steps towards Xia You, and said solemnly: "Therefore, the combination of the Brave of the Sea and the Great Priest has been a common thing since ancient times, in fact, in my family, there are many people in the ancestors who have been the Brave of the Sea, and the bloodline born with them will become more perfect!" ”

It turns out that this is called the inheritance ceremony......

To be honest, Xia You never thought that the so-called inheritance ceremony would be this!

But then again, it's no wonder that Maya is not only beautiful, but also has such a noble temperament, which turned out to be created after generations of genetic improvement!

Maya said: "Since you have agreed to the inheritance ceremony before, then we will also ......"

"I'm sorry..."Before Maya finished speaking, Xia You hurriedly smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't know that the inheritance ceremony meant this in advance, so I hastily agreed, and I have a girlfriend, so this matter is ...... Please forgive me for refusing. ”

Maya didn't seem surprised by Xia You's refusal.

"Your girlfriend should be the young lady named Lijia, right?"

Xia You opened his mouth and wanted to say that his girlfriend was not her, but his current relationship with Lijia was not a simple friend, if not, in the eyes of outsiders, the two were inseparable, would it make Maya think that he was a scumbag?

Besides, from beginning to end, he and Nazi have never said what kind of relationship the two have, maybe treating Nazi as his girlfriend is just his wishful thinking.

His mind turned, Xia You didn't explain too much, but said: "Even if I don't have a girlfriend, at my age, I haven't thought about having any children." ”

Maya smiled, "You don't think it's a simple thing to conceive a child, do you?" And rest assured, I won't let Miss Lijia know about this, I understand that your goal is to challenge the major leagues and have no intention of staying here, so after the birth of the child, I will raise her alone and will not cause you any trouble! ”

"Hey..."Xia You sighed, "You're wrong, it's not a question of knowing it at all......"

And Maya saw that Xia You was unwilling, and thought that he and Lijia had a deep relationship and did not want to betray Lijia.

"You don't have to overcomplicate it." Maya explained, "This will not bring you any loss, on the contrary, after having this child, the Temple of the Sea will always be your backing in the future, and I will not pester you, I just want to use your power to continue my bloodline." ”

Seeing Maya's resolute attitude, Xia You really didn't understand: "Why me?" ”

Maya shook her head: "Indeed, every three years there will be a brave man of the sea, it stands to reason that I do have many candidates, but you are different, you can win the championship of the quartz conference, proving that you are extraordinary, you can save the gods of the sea without taking the opportunity to subdue them, proving that you are not a mercenary person, not to mention, you once saved me, which makes me very moved, of course, the main reason is that I like you and don't want to miss you in this life!" ”

Maya's affectionate confession, to be honest, did make Xia You a little moved.

He didn't know what he was feeling right now, but reason told him that he had to refuse, and he definitely couldn't be sorry for Nazi.

But in the next second, he suddenly thought of Lijia again.

I got along with Lijia during this time, although nothing happened, but both of them knew in their hearts that they had faintly broken through the boundaries of friends......

The two sang and harmonized, full of tacit understanding, the concept has always been, and they can talk very well, which has made them soul mates!

Seeing that he was silent, Maya boldly stepped forward at this time and directly held his hand.

"My brave, my beloved, this is my last request, please don't refuse me!"
