Chapter 296: Echo of Star Palace's Fortune (3)
"It's ...... I'm repeating myself again, and there won't be a third time. So, what I want to tell you is not to get used to the feeling of 'mastering others'...... So, your answer?" said this in her usual unwavering tone, which made the atmosphere between her and Ye Xian tense againβbut she was sure that Ye Xian would not dare to make a move on her.
"Oops, oops...... This is really unfriendly, Lord Echo, isn't it good to put on a-for-tat appearance with your allies and this alliance? And can I see your actions as embarrassment with the Star Palace?" Ye Sacrifice's voice suddenly turned cold twice.
"I said, not to go against the 'Alliance' or to embarrass the Star Palace - I've been a member of this Alliance since I got the inheritance of the Tree of Life. It's just that you are the one who makes your own decisions as an alliance and suspects me. So it doesn't matter if you think I'm targeting you and taking revenge on you. But what I mean is very clear, that is, I want to sue you that even if you are one of the so-called 'alliance cores', you are not qualified to dictate to me. So, I can also express my distrust to you who have such a distrustful attitude towards your allies. Eco didn't back down and said quietly.
Immediately, Eco added, "Also, as I said before, don't casually equate your identity with 'Alliance' and 'Star Palace'. Because you may be their leader, but you don't represent all of the power - otherwise, the Star Palace would have been shut down when the first High Priest died. β
"In the same way, even if something goes wrong with you, one of the 'core members of the Alliance', on the battlefield in the future. This battle will continue in the future - for that. I can see it better than you do. I know how important I am. But also aware of the possibility that I was being targeted. But even so, I won't back down. Because it's enough for me to contribute enough to this fight. "So, I never thought of myself as 'having to live,' but as being the same as the ordinary soldiers in the future battle, rather than as being 'superior'." Even if the alliance folds me, it won't be good. The battle will continue. That is to say, my 'importance' to the alliance is finite rather than infinite. As Eco's words came out one by one, Ye Xi's eyes became a little silent. She seems to have spotted some problems.
"And you seem to be gradually. Have you begun to see your role as 'infinite'?" Eco finally asked, "Suppose that the person who made this request was the king or leader of several other races, such as the dragons and elves, who made this request, and said something like 'can you see your actions as embarrassing the Star Palace', instead of taking off your mask to show your sincerity?"
"......" Hearing Eco's last words, Ye Sacrifice fell silent. In fact, if the leaders of the two clans really asked the above questions, then of course Ye Xian would not have said that, it should be said that in order to consolidate the stability of the alliance. She will take off her mask, just like the sacrificial predecessors in history.
Alliances aren't something that only happens now. The Alliance had already resisted the invasion of ectopous creatures in the first few times. And of course, as the Covenant who is about to face a big war, those Star Palace's contemporary high priests will not choose to hang up their masks in front of their allies.
So this is also one of the reasons why Eco chose to use this as a negotiation, because she believes that no matter what, Ye Xian will definitely not be full of resistance to taking off the mask, after all, this is also an inevitable thing in the future alliance.
However, it is a pity that Eco is wrong on this point.
β...... Taught, Miss Eco. It seems that I am a little proud, so I apologize again for my pride...... But I'm sorry, if Miss Eco wants to teach me a lesson, please change your mind. Because of this mask, for some personal reason, I did not want to take it off - it was a last resort to take it off at a later date. But the reason why the sacrifices of the Star Palace in the past dynasties wore this mask is not without reason. Ye Xi's tone softened, and at the end, he turned into a heavy sigh and said, "Do you want to hear the story behind this mask?"
β...... Say it if you can. Hearing this, Eco's speech slowed down slightly. And Ye Sacrifice is to speak, telling a simple and untouching, but very practical story behind this mask.
"The sacrifices of the Star Palace will never marry, and they will only be able to maintain their pure bodies forever - because they basically don't have 'that' possibility, no matter how high or low their cultivation is. The first sentence of Ye Xian made Eco stunned - of course, it was an expressionless version, and Eco's astonishment was only reflected in his heart. Because she didn't expect the Star Palace High Priest, who seemed to be regarded as a representative of "mystery", and she didn't expect such a powerful woman to say such a ...... Straightforward words.
However, Eco did not utter or utter any disdainful gestures or words. Because she knew that Ye Xian would not say some irrelevant words.
Sure enough, Ye Sacrifice's words were not finished: "However, the sacrifices of the Star Palace were originally all girls, and they were all very ordinary girls. Therefore, they are all hearted and emotional...... Did you say that Xiao Xi and Little Ida were your classmates?"
"Well, yes, so?" Hearing this, Eco already had an answer in his heart, but this one...... Maybe it's a little tempting to sigh.
"That's right, the relationship between them was originally a childhood sweetheart, right? Eco, on the other hand, was silent and nodded.
"If I hadn't looked away, they would already be boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
"Well, that's right. β
"So, ah......" Ye Xian sighed deeply and said, "They will never be able to achieve positive results, unless they leave the Star Palace-the girls who practice 'astrology' must be pure for a lifetime." And most of them are girls with pure hearts...... As long as there are no accidents, the only thing that may make them fall in love is the little male partner around them. β
"The guards of the Star Palace, on the other hand, made a vow when they were young - they would never be partners with any of the priests and would not have an excessive relationship. At the age of twenty, we will choose and decide the future by our own will - whether we want to leave the Star Palace and marry someone else, or vow to protect our purity for the rest of our lives. Ye Xian said: "If you make an oath, then you must never marry and never marry." Don't do anything extraneous - otherwise you will be seen as a betrayer, although they will not hunt you down or anything, but it is inevitable that you will be expelled from the Star Palace. β
β...... Have a sharp question, I wonder if it's a good question to ask?" Eco asked cautiously.
Ye Xian seemed to understand what Echo wanted to say, and she didn't care, she just replied: "Even if it is forced, it will naturally eliminate the sacrificial power of the whole body - because this is the particularity of the exercise." And although we will not hunt her down or drive her out of the Star Palace, we will not treat it as a sacrifice anymore...... It may sound like a rather callous rule, but for the sake of 'astrology' and 'fate', we voluntarily give it up - this is our realization. β
"There is no right or wrong, only willing or not, unwilling to be at any time - this is our realization. This consciousness has been passed down for thousands of years. Of course, behind this enlightenment, the sacrificers who have given their beautiful hearts have also been single for thousands of years, lonely but not lonely. Ye Xian said: "And this mask was put on by the sacrificers in order to implement their own consciousness and to recall the beauty of that youth-when I became a being looked up to by tens of millions of people, I still have the same appearance in your memory." β
"The story behind this mask is really simple, but ...... We wouldn't want to take it off if it wasn't necessary. Is that okay?" Ye asked with a hint of pleading as he walked up to Eco, took her hand, and asked in a tone of pleading.
β...... All right. In the end, Eco chose not to dwell on this issue anymore. (To be continued......)
