Chapter 447 "Maya Fite"

"well?"

The priestess made a sound of surprise.

Because, before her eyes, the man who had just assumed a devilish posture suddenly sent back the rats he had summoned for some unknown reason.

The group of man-eating rats disappeared from sight, which certainly made the priestess breathe a sigh of relief, but the man's sudden retreat also surprised her.

What surprised the priestess even more was that the other party seemed to have canceled the magic that gave her the paralysis state. Although the magic that sucked away her power was not canceled, at least she could move now.

"Get up."

Li Ge spoke calmly, as if he had done something that was easy to do.

"…………"

The priestess couldn't figure out the other person's attitude and thoughts. She looked at the other person deeply and then stood up.

"My name is Li Ge Brighaut." Li Ge looked at the priestess and asked, "What is your name?"

The priestess did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while before speaking.

"Maya Fit."

This is how the other party introduced himself.

"Miss Fit, right?" Li Ge 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?" said the priestess who called herself Maya: "So, you are not here for this city, nor are you here for the temple in the city?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Li Ge shrugged and said without any concealment: "Leaving others aside, after discovering this city, I wanted to explore it and see if there is anything interesting here. Good idea of ​​value.”

"In this case, we have nothing to say." Maya said coldly: "My mission is to protect this city and protect the temple of the gods. Since your purpose is to take away things here, then we have nothing to do. Doubts are the enemy.”

"That's okay." Li Ge said calmly: "We have different positions and hostility is inevitable. I can understand this, but I do have some unanswered questions. If you are willing to answer them for me, I don't have to offend this person. A city will do.”

"...I said, I no longer trust you outsiders." Maya did not relax her attitude, and still said with hostility: "Unless you leave immediately, I won't tell you anything. "

"Don't speak too early." Li Ge's tone was still indifferent, and he said: "Let's put aside the matter of this city and that temple for the time being. You can first tell me about the things you mentioned that have deceived you. Something about outsiders?”

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

"Rather, since they have deceived you, then you and them are undoubtedly enemies. In this case, what does it have to do with leaking their information to me?"

"Or are you willing to keep their secret?"

Li Ge's words made Maya frown deeply.

Li Ge was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Maya to sort out her thoughts.

After a while, Maya raised her head and looked at Li Ge again.

"Why do you care so much about those scoundrels?"

Maya asked, and the eyes under the mask were staring at Li Ge closely, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts and see if he was lying.

Li Ge said something bluntly.

"Because they may be the culprits who caused me to fall into this situation and secretly murdered me."

Yes, Li Ge suspected that the people Maya said had deceived her were the masterminds behind controlling the magic dolls and the underground monster Arakulon.

the reason is simple.

First of all, the other party obviously obtained the technology of ancient magical civilization from somewhere, and thus produced many magic dolls and strange holy objects.

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

Secondly, the opponent has some unknown connection with the underground monster Arakulon, which allows the underground monster Arakulon to cooperate with their actions, and can also send the magic doll here to ambush Li Ge.

In this case, the other party must be able to come and go freely in Arakulon's body, and have a full understanding of Arakulon, a monster they call the Holy Beast. Even if they know that there is an ancient city here, it is not a big deal. Neither is surprising.

Based on the above two points, Li Ge suspected that those behind the scenes obtained the ancient magic civilization technology from this ancient city and obtained the knowledge of making magic dolls and strange holy objects.

For some reason, they were able to come and go freely in the body of the underground monster Arakulon, and discovered this ancient city. In order to take away valuable things from this ancient city, they just deceived the people who guarded this city. Maya, let Maya take them into the temple, where they discovered the technology to make magic dolls and strange holy objects.

It is precisely because of such speculation that Li Ge cares about the outsiders who deceived Maya.

At least, Li Ge didn't think that those who entered Yarakulon's body like him, discovered this ancient city, and entered here one step earlier than him, would return in vain after deceiving Maya.

"Did you enter here because of the murder of those despicable people?" Maya, who didn't know all this, was stunned for a moment by Li Ge's speech, and then said in surprise: "Were you swallowed by Yarakulon by accident? Did you come here just now?”

"No." Li Ge shook his head and said, "I fell into this because of a deliberate plan."

Li Ge briefly explained his experience.

"Impossible." Maya was a little unconvinced and said, "How could someone be able to control Yara Kulon?"

Li Ge wanted to ask Maya why this ancient city was in Yarakulon's body, and why she claimed to be the guardian of this city.

But judging from the rejection attitude shown by the other party before, there is a high probability that the other party will not answer these questions honestly.

Therefore, Li Ge could only focus on the despicable people in Maya's mouth.

"Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact." Li Ge said: "In short, I want to know about those people. If you don't want to tell me, forget it."

This move is called retreat to advance.

There's no way, Maya doesn't take the hard way, but she is immune to all kinds of manipulation magic. As long as she doesn't want to say it, Li Ge can't do anything to her.

Of course, if it was really necessary, Li Ge felt that it would be better for him to think about what "disgraceful means" he should use 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 need to keep secrets for those despicable people." Maya snorted lightly and said, "Since what you want to know is about them, then I will tell you."

With that said, Maya started telling.

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

"When I found them, they were fighting with the giant guards guarding the gate."

Maya said so.

"There are not many of them, only about six or seven, but their strength is quite good. Not only are some of them able to fight the two giant guards guarding the gate at the same time, but there are also some who exude an even more dangerous aura, which makes me They all feel that they are probably no match.”

"When they saw me, although they were very surprised, they kept stating that they had no hostility."

"They said that they were swallowed by Arakulon that suddenly appeared from the ground during their journey. They drove away the monster bugs all the way, looking for a way out, and ended up here unknowingly."

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

Apparently, it was during this time that those outsiders gained Maya's trust.

Maya, who believed their words, slowly trusted them and lost her wariness towards them.

"They said they had nowhere to go and that there were monster beasts everywhere outside. They begged 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 asked me to show them around the city."

"I agreed."

"Afterwards, they said they were very curious about the temple and wanted to go in and have a look."

"I hesitated again and again, but finally agreed."

"I thought that no one has gone in to pray in the temple for a long time. God may feel lonely. It also makes me sad that there are no more believers here, so I thought that it is rare for someone to enter here, even if it is just to offer to God once. Praying is a joyful thing.”

"Who would have known that they would take advantage of me and knock me unconscious. When I woke up, many of the things treasured in the temple had been taken away."

Speaking of this, Maya's tone took on strong anger.

“I wanted to catch up with them, cut them into pieces, and repent for my blasphemy against the gods and this city, but because of my mission, I couldn’t leave the city for too long, let alone go too far away. Maya said angrily: "It's so shameful that those despicable people who deceived me disappeared without a trace!"

"Really?" Li Ge didn't feel the same way and just asked, "When did this happen?"

This question got an unexpected answer.

"have no idea."

Maya answered simply.

"ha?"

Li Ge was stunned.

"So, I don't know." Maya said confidently: "I will only wake up when the giant guard guarding the gate is activated, and the giant guard guarding the gate will only be activated when someone approaches the city. Otherwise, I was asleep all the time outside and had no idea how much time had passed.”

After hearing this, Li Ge finally understood why the priestess was confused by the term "ancient magic civilization".
