"What?"

"Only twenty years?!"

When the high priest found out what had happened after she left, he couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Yes."

The Empress nodded, slightly ashamed.

She naturally knew that this time was a bit short, but Xiao Jingshui couldn't promise a longer alliance to the merman clan.

Hearing the empress's explanation, the high priest couldn't help frowning.

She was about to say something to refute, but suddenly it occurred to her mind that Xuan Yanzong would have a catastrophe from time to time.

This is no secret among the soothsayers, and no matter how long the high priest lives in the deep sea, she also knows the basic information that the soothsayer should know.

The high priest's expression sank, and a layer of worry was stained between his eyebrows.

If that's the case, it's not a good idea to form an alliance with Xiao Jingshui.

After all, Xuanyanzong's tribulation was not so good.

It's just that Xuanyan Sect has never been able to calculate this calamity? Where did Xiao Jingshui come from to know in advance?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that the high priest's expression was wrong, Yu Qin couldn't help but ask.

The High Priest shook his head: "I don't know. ”

There is some truth to this, but it is slightly contradictory to the facts.

The high priest did not know for a moment whether to believe or doubt.

Yuan Qin couldn't help sighing: "It's just weird, this ancestral training is too vague." ”

But no matter how meticulous they were, they wouldn't have such a headache, and they were so worried that even the scales on their bodies were not bright.

The high priest was more objective: "No matter how much the noble man can calculate, he can't calculate what will happen hundreds of millions of years later. It is a fluke that my ancestors can get such an ancestral precept from him. ”

The way of divination and deduction has always been the most difficult.

Not to mention the strict requirements, there are often five disadvantages and three shortcomings.

Something a little more important has to pay an unimaginable price.

That noble man can calculate hundreds of millions of years ago to the present, which is already very remarkable, and if you ask for details, I am afraid that you will not have to inch in.

"Mother just said it, and she didn't mean anything else." The Empress was busy.

Among the mermaids, the position of the high priest is very important.

Therefore, neither the empress nor the former empress wanted to leave a bad impression on the high priest.

The high priest nodded slightly: "I naturally know that I don't mean to blame Elder Yuan. ”

The merman clan is not an ungrateful race, so naturally they will not hold grudges against the nobles who are kind to them.

It's just that in this case, it is normal for people to slander a few words.

It is the nature of normal beings of any race to avoid trouble.

"Alright, don't say that again." The High Priest changed his words, "Since you have reached a consensus with Xiao Jingshui on the time, it is time to think carefully about the details of the alliance. Although we said that we would talk about it in a few days, we had to prepare in advance, didn't we? ”

"You're right, but I don't know what the High Priest thinks?" The Empress asked.

"It's not an opinion, it's just a little suggestion." The high priest waved his hand and said, "Twenty years is too short, if you form an alliance, the relationship does not need to be too close. ”

It's only been 20 years of alliance, and it's hard to get it back.

And if the speculation comes true, the reason that Xiao Jingshui said is related to the catastrophe of Xuanyanzong, and it is not good for the merman clan to be too close to Xiao Jingshui.

After all, the last time the Xuanyan Sect was robbed, a disciple who was a princess in the mortal realm was implicated in this and the country was ruined.

However, in order not to worry the empress and Yuanqin, the high priest did not say anything about it.

Fortunately, the empress and the high priest did not need to say it.

After Xiao Jingshui secretly revealed that he might die soon, they also had similar plans.

In this world, no one wants to make a loss-making investment.
