Chapter 1247 Smiling without Saying a Word

Therefore, the high priests of the Zephyr Continent and the monks of the Blue Planet have one similarity, that is, they both like to talk about Zen - saying things you don't understand.

Talking about the inevitable future, do you really think that you are a prophet, that you can understand the past and present with just a few calculations?

I am very unconvinced by this.

God knows if you have many eyes and ears and have been monitoring me, so you know my whereabouts and schedule very well.

Adhering to a skeptical attitude, I vaguely felt that this so-called high priest was probably an ambitious man who was extremely authoritative and longed for greater authority.

"I am very satisfied with my current life." The high priest took a deep look at me, shook his head and said, "That's why I am different from you. I will not try every means to gain more power, nor do I have ambitions as huge as yours."

"My ambition?"

"Child" the high priest slowly stood up, holding a crutch that was taller than her, and walked slowly towards me. She walked so slowly that I didn't know how long it took before she finally stood in front of me.

Being one meter away, I could see her appearance more clearly.

No matter how well-maintained she is, her face is still covered with fine lines, her skin is no longer as firm as a girl's, her cheeks are slightly droopy, and she trembles slightly when she breathes.

She has white hair, but it's different from mine.

My silver hair is from birth, but hers has gradually lost her black hair due to the changes of the years.

She is not tall, and even if she stands up straight, she may not be able to reach my shoulders. Besides, she is still hunched over, like a bow.

"Child," she whispered again, and her breathing became slightly faster: "Don't use your young thinking to speculate on an old man who has lived for a thousand years. I am no longer young, and I no longer expect many things. Now I just I want to continue living a peaceful life as usual.”

"Bask in the sun and blow in the breeze." She closed her eyes, opened her arms, and faced the darkness: "Smell the fragrance of the flowers and the chirping of the birds."

Putting down her hands, she turned around and opened her eyes: "Do you understand?"

".Understood."

This answer contains countless apologies. I really shouldn't use my narrow thoughts to speculate on an old man who longs for a peaceful life.

She walked back to her seat, sat down slowly, and waved to me: "Child, come here, sit down and talk."

Walking forward and sitting down opposite her, the high priest smiled and said, "My child, you can ask me any questions."

"Isn't it your turn to ask me questions?"

"First answer all the doubts in your mind, then you can answer my questions with confidence, right?"

"." I took a breath and said, "You are right, then, can I ask any questions?"

She nodded.

After pondering for a while, I said: "I remember you just said that the Moonlight Scepter I obtained in the ancient tomb was only half. In other words, it actually has another half, is that true?"

"Yes," said the high priest, "there is indeed another half of the moonlight scepter."

"Excuse me, where is the other half?"

"In the forbidden area of ​​the Moonlight City Palace."

"The forbidden area of ​​the Moonlight City Palace? Since it is there, the Fairy Queen should have the opportunity to combine the Moonlight Scepter into one!"

"There is a chance."

I didn’t understand: “But why didn’t she do that?”

"Because now is not the time to get the other half back," the high priest said.

"Are you worried about Akahavi?" I asked in surprise: "Is his power already so strong?"

The high priest did not answer, she smiled and said nothing.

After scratching his hair, he suddenly remembered that he had become bald. He couldn't help coughing in embarrassment and said, "Well, isn't that the case?"

The high priest still smiled and said nothing.

What does this mean when you just laugh but don't speak?

Could it be that.

"You mean, this matter cannot be leaked?"

This time the high priest made a statement, but she still didn't speak and just nodded.

I curled my lips and muttered: "I thought you could really answer any questions I asked."

"Of course I can answer, and I am indeed answering," the high priest smiled: "It's just that I answer some questions with my mouth, and some questions I answer in my heart."

This is okay too.

I kneel down for you.

However, since there are questions that can be answered with my mouth, it means that there is still value in asking.

"Master High Priest, do you know where Akahavi is hiding?"

The high priest smiled and said nothing.

"Then do you know why he became like this?"

"Cruel in nature, he is bewitched by others."

"Bewitched by someone? Do you know who bewitched him?"

"outsider."

"An outsider?" I was confused: "What outsider?"

The high priest smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, next question."

In this way, I asked more than a dozen questions in a row, some related to privacy, some related to the world structure, and some related to some secret ancient tombs. Some questions were answered immediately by the high priest, and some questions were only half answered by the high priest. There were other questions, but she smiled and said nothing.

Finally, I got tired of it, so I stopped asking questions and asked her to tell her the questions she wanted me to answer.

The high priest shook his head and said, "You still have questions you haven't said yet."

"It's gone." I curled my lips and thought hard for a moment: "Well, it's gone. Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, I thought of a person, a guy who was like an enemy and like a friend to me.

"Master High Priest, I want to ask you, do you know Achilles?"

The high priest nodded.

"What kind of person is he? Also, is he a person from the legendary heroic age?"

"He is a man from the legendary heroic age," the high priest said calmly, "and he was also the deputy of Carter Adams, the first head of the Carter family. As for what kind of person he is, well, he is both brave and cowardly."

"What kind of answer is this?" I muttered dissatisfied, and then I asked her: "Then what kind of person is Carter Adams?"

"Carter Adams," the high priest chuckled, "he is an overly passionate child."

child

I always feel that calling a legendary hero this way is a bit inconsistent.

"That kid has been clamoring all day long to eradicate all the monsters infesting Airui City. It turns out that he is really working hard."

"Huh? Listening to what you said, did he fail in the end?"

The high priest smiled and said nothing.

Wow, can’t you even say whether it failed or not?

However, Carter Adams turned out to be a passionate hero of justice, which really surprised me, after all, his descendants would be like that.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and said to myself: "What a waste of my ancestor's fame. I didn't expect that all the descendants of the Carter family would be bastards."

As I said that, I raised my head, looked at the high priest and said, "Master high priest, you should know that Carter Scott, the second young master of Ai Rui City, is conducting experimental research with the Lord of York and Han City and the president of the Knights of the Round Table Guild. The result of their research is likely to be a disgusting monster!"
