"Huh?"

The priestess made a surprised voice.

Because, in front of her eyes, the man who had just put on a demonic posture, for some reason, suddenly sent back the rat swarm he had summoned.

The priestess was greatly relieved that the man-eating swarm had disappeared before her eyes, but she was also surprised by the man's sudden retreat.

What surprised the priestess even more was that the other party seemed to have canceled even the magic that gave her paralysis, although she didn't cancel the magic that sucked away her power, but at least, she was able to move now.

"Get up."

Rig spoke calmly as if he had done something that could not have been easier.

The priestess couldn't figure out the other party's attitude and thoughts, so she looked at the other party deeply before getting up.

"My name is Rige Brihaut." Rig looked at the priestess and asked, "What's your name?" The priestess did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while before speaking. "Maya Fett."

The other party introduced himself like this.

"Miss Fitt is she, isn't she?" Rig nodded and said, "Although there are still many things that I don't understand, judging from the information you have revealed so far, we may not be enemies."

"Not an enemy?" The priestess who called herself Maya said, "So you didn't come for the city, or for the temple in the city?"

"Not necessarily." Rig shrugged his shoulders and said without concealment, "Others aside, I myself had the idea of exploring this place and seeing if there are any valuable good things here after discovering this city."

"In that case, we don't have much more to say." Maya said coldly, "My mission is to protect this city and the temple of the sacrificial gods, since your purpose is to take away the things here, then we are undoubtedly enemies."

"That's okay." Li Ge said lightly: "The positions are different, hostility is inevitable, I can understand this, but I do have some questions that have not been solved, if you are willing to solve them for me, I don't have to offend this city."

"As I said, I don't trust you outsiders anymore." Maya did not relax her attitude, and said with hostility, "I will not tell you anything unless you exit now."

"Don't say it too soon." Rieger's tone was still indifferent, and he said, "Let's put aside the matter of this city and that temple for the time being, can you tell me about the outsiders you mentioned about you who deceived you?"

"If it's their business, then it shouldn't have anything to do with your mission, right?"

"Rather, since they deceived you, you and them are the undoubted enemies, so what's the matter with leaking their information to me?"

"Or are you willing to keep it a secret for them?"

Riege's words made Maya frown deeply.

Rig was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for Maya to sort out her thoughts. Halfway through, Maya raised her head and looked at Rig again.

"Why do you care so much about those vile villains?"

Maya asked, and the eyes under the mask were also fixed on Riege, as if trying to see through his thoughts, to see if he was lying.

Rieger threw out a sentence bluntly.

"Because, they may be the culprits who caused me to fall into this place and secretly murder me."

Yes, Rig suspects that the people Maya said had deceived her by manipulating the Wizard Dollage and the underground monster Arakulon.

The reason is simple.

First of all, the other party obviously obtained the technology of the ancient magic civilization from somewhere, so as to produce a large number of magic puppets and strange holy relics.

This makes people have to imagine, where did the other party's technology for making magic dolls and weird relics come from? Could it be in this city?

Secondly, there is some kind of unknown connection between the other party and the underground demonic beast Yarakulon

system, which can make the underground demonic beast Yarakulon cooperate with them, and can also send the magic puppet here to ambush Rige.

In this case, the other party must be able to come and go freely in Yarakulon's body, and he has a full understanding of Yarakulon, a monster they call the Holy Beast, even if they know that there is an ancient city here, it is not surprising at all.

Based on the above two points, Rieger suspected that the masterminds behind the scenes had obtained the technology of ancient magical civilization from this ancient city, and obtained the knowledge of making magic dolls and strange relics.

For some reason, they were able to come and go freely in the body of the underground monster Yarakulon, and discovered this ancient city, and in order to take something valuable from this ancient city, they deceived Maya, who was guarding the city, and asked Maya to take them into the temple, where they discovered the technology to make magic dolls and strange relics.

It was precisely because of this speculation that Rig cared about the outsiders who had deceived the Maya.

At least, Rig didn't think that the people who had entered the body of Yaraculon and discovered this ancient city like himself would return home after deceiving Maya.

"You got here because of the murder of those vile villains?" Maya, who didn't know all this, was stunned for a moment because of Rig's speech, and then said in surprise, "Didn't you come here by accident swallowed by Araculon?"

"It's not." Rig shook his head and said, "I was deliberately plotted to get here."

Rig briefly explained what happened to him.

"Impossible." Maya was a little unconvinced, and said, "How could anyone be able to control Yaraculon?"

Rige was eager to ask Maya why the ancient city was in Yaraculon's body, and why she claimed to be the guardian of the city.

But these questions, judging from the rejection attitude shown by the other party before, the other party will most likely not answer them honestly.

As a result, Rig could only focus on what Maya called the despicable villains.

"Believe it or not, it's the truth." "Anyway, I want to know about those people, if you don't want to talk about it," said Riger.

This trick is called retreat as advance.

There's no way, Maya doesn't eat hard and soft, but she is immune to all kinds of manipulation magic, as long as she doesn't want to say it, Li Ge will also have nothing to do with her.

Of course, if it is really necessary, Li Ge feels that he should think about what "dishonorable means" should be used to get the other party to cooperate.

Fortunately, Maya finally relaxed her mouth after frowning and thinking for a while.

"You're right, I don't have to keep a secret for those scumbags."

Maya snorted lightly and said, "Since what you want to know is about them, then I'll tell you."

As she spoke, Maya spoke.

The story is actually very simple, so simple that Maya really thought it was just a chance encounter at first.

"When I found them, they were in a big battle with the giant guards guarding the gate." Maya said.

"There aren't many of them, only about six or seven, but their strength is not bad, not only can some of them fight the two giant guards guarding the gate at the same time, but some of them exude an aura of danger that is even higher than that, making me feel that I am probably not an opponent."

"When they saw me, they were surprised, but they kept declaring that they were not hostile."

"They said that they were swallowed by Yarakulon, who suddenly appeared from the ground during their journey, and drove the monster insects all the way, looking for a way out, and came here before they knew it."

"I took their word for it, so I invited them into the city and stayed with them for a while."

It is clear that it was during this time that the outsiders gained Maya's trust.

Maya, who listened to their words, slowly trusted them, but also lost her guard against them.

"They say they have nowhere to go

There are monster worms everywhere outside, and I beg me to take them in and allow them to live here temporarily until they find a way out."

"I agreed."

"They said they wanted to find a place to stay and let me show them around the city."

"I agreed."

"Later, they said they were curious about the temple and wanted to go in and have a look." "I hesitated, but finally agreed."

"I think it's been a long time since no one has gone in the temple to pray, and God may feel lonely, and I am sad that there are no more believers here, so I thought that it would be rare for someone to enter here, even if it was just one prayer to God, it would be a good thing."

"Who knows, they actually took advantage of my unpreparedness and knocked me unconscious, and when I woke up, many of the treasures in the temple were actually taken away."

Speaking of this, Maya's tone was tinged with intense anger.

"I want to catch up, I want to tear them apart, and repent of blaspheming the gods and the city, but because of my mission, I can't leave the city for too long, let alone too far." Maya was furious and said, "Those despicable villains who deceived me just disappeared without a trace! It's infuriating! Hateful!"

"Really?" Rieg didn't empathize, just asked, "When did this happen?"

This question was answered in exchange for an unexpected one. "I don't know."

Maya replied simply.

"Huh?"

Rieger froze.

"So, I don't know." Maya said confidently, "I only wake up when the Giant Guard guarding the gate is activated, and the Giant Guard guarding the gate is only activated when someone approaches the city, and I have been asleep all the time beyond that, and I don't know about it

How long has it been?"

Hearing this, Rig finally understood why the priestess was at a loss for the term "ancient magical civilization".
