Chapter 1246 High Priest

I had heard the title "High Priest" a little bit in my previous life, and this hearing was related to a foreign movie - "The Mummy".

There is an infatuated man named Immorton, who is the high priest.

Other than that, my knowledge of the High Priest was a blank slate.

As soon as I entered the gate of the mansion, I was dazzled by a vast expanse of white. I was amazed that I was in a world of white jade!

The white jade floors, white jade walls, white jade carvings, and white jade furnishings, except for the living people around you, everything you see is all carved from white jade!

"How luxurious!" I couldn't help but say.

"This way please" the man leading the way guided me to a small room.

When they arrived at the door of the room, the four people lined up on both sides, and the man leading the way said: "Please come in."

"Inside" I pointed to the door of the room and gave him a confused look.

He nodded: "The high priest is waiting for you inside."

The door was pushed open halfway, and he looked curiously through the pushed door into the room. However, he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

The light in the small room was very poor. Only a few magic stones that were not bright were trying to release light and illuminate the entire room. Unfortunately, their light could only spread more than one meter away and could not spread throughout the room.

I'm curious, since I can use this precious white jade to build the entire mansion, why not buy a brighter magic stone to light up the room?

While thinking about it, I stepped into the room and closed the door at the same time.

"You're curious, right, An Xiaoyi?"

An old voice suddenly came from the corner, startling me.

Looking closely, in the dark corner, where the light cannot cover, there is a dark thing standing there, motionless, like a decoration.

If it hadn't been for that sentence, I wouldn't have even known this person!

The dark thing slowly grew taller, and I knew that this man was slowly standing up. He stood up very slowly, as if he was crawling at a snail.

I was a little hesitant to step forward and help.

While I was thinking, I heard two soft coughs, and the person in the corner said: "Come here, give me a hand."

I looked around and found no one else, so I pointed at myself.

"Yes, that's you." He coughed again: "Besides you, is there anyone else in this room?"

Without thinking, I slipped out: "And you"

"Well, you're right, but do you think I can support myself?"

"Uh no."

"That's right," he said, "come here and give me a hand."

"yes."

I just took a step and suddenly stopped: "You don't want to take advantage of me to help you and fall to the ground to touch the porcelain, right?"

"Haha." His laughter was helpless: "Do you think I need to blackmail you?"

"Well, that's true."

The materials needed to build a mansion are all extremely expensive, and besides, he has more than just this mansion, so there is no way he is short of money.

And only four of his attendants could receive such noble treatment locally, not to mention himself.

How could such a rich and powerful old man try to blackmail me?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel funny about my own sensitivity.

She reached out to hold his arm, and just after taking two steps, she saw him stagger and fall to the ground.

Ah?

Conflict?

I was so frightened that I wanted to let go and avoid him. Unexpectedly, his grip was so strong that I couldn't break free.

For a moment, my heart was hanging high, just like a patient with acrophobia feels when he stands on dozens of floors and looks down, feeling weak and cold in his limbs.

However, the old body suddenly stopped, just hanging quietly in the air, neither going up nor down.

While I was in shock, I saw an old face slowly turning to me and grinning: "How about it, are you surprised or not?"

I'm so tall as your mother, so I'm just so shocked!

Lifting the old man up, I let go of my hand, wiped my sweat, took a deep breath and said, "How old are you, how come you are still acting like a child?"

"Isn't it good to have a childlike innocence?" He chuckled, stood up, and slowly walked to the wooden table placed at the back of the room. He pulled up a chair and sat down. At the same time, he took off his hood, revealing True appearance.

It was indeed an old face, but it was very well maintained. There was a faint kind smile on that old face, which made me feel very friendly at first sight - if she hadn't teased me before, based on the first impression alone, I would definitely I will treat her like a grandma.

Yes, she is a woman, an old woman, so old that she can't tell the difference between men and women just by her voice, so I will always think of her as him.

"Are you the high priest?" I spoke first.

"It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake," she chuckled.

"What's the matter with you calling me here?"

"Of course there is something," the high priest said, "If there is nothing, why would I ask you to come? I am very busy."

"busy?"

I stared at her with suspicion.

If you are very busy, do you still have time to tease me?

"You kid, you must be scolding me in your heart again," the high priest said clearly.

I was startled, but with a calm expression, I said, "How could that be? You are the distinguished high priest. I respect you more than I can, so why would I scold you?"

"I have lived for so long that I can't even tell that you are not scolding me." The high priest chuckled: "However, compared to scolding me in my heart and scolding me in front of me, I prefer the front, at least ,I can not hear."

This high priest looks completely different from what he imagined. Not only does he have no airs, he even talks so naughtily.

Because the gap between reality and ideal was too big, I was speechless to the high priest in front of me.

"So I've already said that keeping a childlike innocence can make me look younger," the high priest chuckled.

"Can you hear my thoughts?" I expressed surprise.

"No," the high priest said, "But didn't I just say that I have lived for a long time and have already gained insight into people's hearts."

"How long have you lived?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Well" she pinched her chin and was silent for a long time, then switched to rubbing her temples, and was silent for a long time again. Finally, she sighed: "I forgot the specific time, but I remember clearly that I once served the great The Fairy Queen."

"The Fairy Queens seem to be quite great, but which one are you serving?"

"Queen Ophelia", the high priest, had a serious face and a respectful tone, exuding deep nostalgia and unforgettable reluctance.

"Queen Ophelia. I remember."

"Yes," she said: "You once saw her image in the ancient tomb and returned her scepter to her descendants. Although it was only half a scepter, your actions at that time already demonstrated the nobility of your heart. , that’s why I summoned you at this time today.”

"Are you saying that you had already planned to summon me from the beginning?"

"This is not my plan," she said calmly, "but it is something that will inevitably happen in the future."
