"High priest, what do you command?"

Her Majesty's attitude is still good, there is no way, she knows the horror of the high priest, no matter how unwilling she is in her heart, she also knows that the high priest is not something she can fight against.

Not even talking about her, even the entire mermaid clan has to rely on the high priest, because the high priest represents the god of the sea, the supreme god of the sea.

Even if every high priest has hardly left the Great Temple since he took over the throne, this is even stricter than other priests.

Although the other priests could not stay away from the temple to which they belonged, and the distance and time they could leave were limited, they were still able to leave the temple for a short time.

This departure does not simply mean not being able to leave the temple hall, but referring to the separate area where the temple is located, which is what the real "temple" means.

In other words, the building of the temple is only a part of the temple, and the individual area where the building is located is where the entire temple is located.

In the history of the merfolk clan, there has never been a record of the high priest leaving the Grand Temple area, at least Her Majesty the Queen has not found any relevant records, although there are exceptions in the legend, but those are all old things, and there is no way to verify.

It is said that this is related to the god of the sea, which should be the will of the gods, and it is not groundless, because the temple has a very important role in the mermaid clan.

This function is the shield on the outside of each stronghold, and only where the temple exists, these shields are available, and they are indispensable for the shelter of the city.

Especially on the front line of the eastern seas, those war fortresses would have been crushed to slag by the vicious fish-people without the protection of the temple.

And the more advanced the temple, the more blessings it can provide, not only the shield is tougher, but it can even provide other benefits, such as quick healing, strength enhancement, agility amplification, etc., a bit like various buff auras in the game.

In war, these blessings are very important, if there is no blessing provided by the temple, then it is impossible to defeat the merfolk with the population and military strength of the mermaid tribe, and the army of sea monsters driven by the merfolk race alone is enough to beat the entire mermaid clan.

This is the status of the temple system in the merfolk clan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is supreme, even if the royal family is not willing to admit it, but it is impossible to deny this very embarrassing fact, that is, for the vast majority of merfolk clans, there may be no royal family, but there must be no temples and priests.

This situation of the mermaid clan is a bit like a **** system, but at the root, the temple is above the royal family, and almost all the merfolk are devout disciples of the sea god, grateful and dependent on the protection of the sea god.

It's just that the temple and the priest itself are restricted by various mysteries, so the royal family is needed to lead the daily work of the fish clan, and the two sides cooperate tacitly.

The royal family never questioned any of the temple's instructions, as it was the will of the god of the sea, and the temple rarely interfered with the royal rule.

There have been several times in history when the high priest interfered with the change of power in the royal family in the name of the god of the sea, including appointing an heir to the throne, or more bluntly, abolishing the incumbent queen and electing someone else to the throne.

But on the whole, such things are still very rare, and every time they appear, they have a special historical background and reasons, and they are not the whims of the high priest.

So no matter what, the royal family is still very in awe of the temple, even if Her Majesty is unwilling to grovel in front of the high priest, but she also knows in her heart that she needs to be in awe of the high priest, so she is very careful when she speaks, putting herself in a lower position.

"Your Majesty, this incident is extraordinary, I can honestly say that if this matter is not handled well, it is even likely to endanger the foundation of our clan, even if it is said to be a disaster of extermination, it is not alarmist, but a huge crisis that may really occur. ”

The High Priest had no expression, and even his tone was very mechanical, and he was so old that even for a race like the merfolk that was almost eternally young, he was too old to be able to see his eyes.

Of course, according to Her Majesty's memory, the eyes of the high priest were really godless, and she even guessed that after each high priest took over the throne, he would be taken over by the will of the sea god, otherwise there was no reason to become such a puppet-like existence.

Not only the high priest, but almost all temple priests had such a transformation, but the higher the rank of the priest, the more obvious and serious the situation became.

The royal family had secretly counted and observed the differences between the priests of the temple, and these priests were also selected from the ordinary mermaid clan.

It's just that it's not a vote, an audition, but the "will of the sea god", to put it bluntly, it is appointed by the high priest, from the selection of the probationary priest to the improvement of the priest level, including the selection of the temple station, all of which are decided by the high priest.

This is also very understandable, because the high priest is the only spokesperson of the sea god, and speaking on behalf of the sea god is naturally supreme.

This is not the case with the temple warriors, these warriors are selected by the priests at all levels, but in the investigation of the royal family, they always feel that the source behind these things still points to the high priest.

It seems that all the priests have some kind of mysterious connection with the high priest, a bit like the relationship between the server and the terminal, the high priest is the general server, and the priests at other levels are the terminals, and the intertwined is an airtight network, and outsiders can't penetrate it at all.

And these temple warriors are also part of the network, but their functions are not the same as those of priests, priests cannot stay away from the temple area, but these temple warriors can, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and their will to fight can only be described by fanaticism and terror, and adjectives such as being fearless of death are completely worthless in front of them.

As the source of all this, the energy of the high priest can be seen, Her Majesty's attitude towards him is not so much jealous as fear, the real strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

But at this time, Her Majesty was still shocked to hear the words of the high priest who was indistinguishable between male and female.

Annihilation?!

To be honest, since she succeeded to the throne as the current queen of the merfolk, she had never heard such serious, even a little exaggerated, words from the lips of the High Priest.

And if you think about it carefully, not only have you never heard of it, but even if you go back a few generations, I am afraid that there has never been a "disaster of extermination".

Even though the Fish-People have been invading the "Golden Sea" and the situation on the human side is becoming more and more chaotic, the High Priest has never said a word, and he is as stable as Mount Tai.
