Chapter 1256 Chaotic Banquet
Towering spiers spread along the border of Moonlight City.
Countless huge tree houses, with their lush canopies, form a huge barrier, covering the dome of Moonlight City.
Scattered scattered light spots are scattered on the fertile land, on the paved bluestone paths, and on every beautiful smiling face.
It was a rare peace and tranquility.
It was a legendary fairyland that was only recorded in the annals of history.
That was Moonlight City a thousand years ago.
"Did it come from more than a thousand years ago?" I asked quietly.
"No," the high priest said, "it was thousands of years ago, when I was young."
Songs and verses of praise linger in every corner of Moonlight City, and people spend every day in beauty and happiness.
Workers do not feel tired, thinkers have constant energy.
People acquire knowledge without knowing it and create the future without knowing it.
Countless races from other continents, countless scholars seeking knowledge, countless professors thirsting for truth, and countless troubadours longing for history, all took boats to cross the dangerous seas and travel between life and death.
Among them, some encountered misfortune along the way, some died in the dangerous sea, and some died of illness and old age in their thirst.
But in the end, the survivors among them set foot on Moonlight City, the holy city in their minds, and came here to seek everything they desired.
"Thousands of years ago, countless pilgrims kept coming and leaving. Some of them gained knowledge, some sought the truth, and some had a glimpse of history. Almost everyone found everything they desired in Moonlight City. However, human greed and endless desire are like vicious monsters, always spying on the prosperous holy city, always looking for its gaps, always eager to destroy its sanctity!"
When the high priest said this, his expression was excited. She clenched her fists, and her old fingers like dry branches were embedded in the flesh. Her fists were trembling, just like her tone at this moment.
Finally, she unclenched her fists and sighed: "In the end, the prosperity and tranquility of the Holy City still cannot escape the desire and greed of human nature. The knowledge of the goblin race that transcends time collapsed and shattered under a series of impacts. In the end, all this , all buried in thick dust and dust."
"What's the reason?" I asked in confusion: "What is the reason why Moonlight City, which was once so prosperous and was even called the Holy City, has declined to this day?"
The high priest shook his head: "I can't say, but if you are curious about the fairies of the past, you can try to dig out for yourself. There are some things, some things, that I can't do, but you can."
"I can. I don't even know the location of the ancient tomb, how can I dig it out?"
"Although I know the locations of most ancient tombs," the high priest said, "but I can't tell you."
"Well, are you afraid that because you told me the location, the tomb will be stolen, and you will be burdened with an inescapable guilt?"
"That's not the case." The high priest said: "If the past glory of the Fairy Clan is restored because the tombs were stolen, I would rather you rob all the ancient tombs. But in fact, the reason why I didn't tell you the location was because of someone else. because."
"Can you tell me why?"
The high priest smiled and said nothing.
I was very angry at the high priest's smile and silence.
In order not to let myself continue to be angry, I decided to change the topic: "You just said that the sea around Zefeng Continent is very dangerous. In fact, before this, I have also heard people say that there are very dangerous things lurking in the vast sea around Zefeng Continent." Terrifying existences, but they never explained what these dangerous and terrifying existences are. Can you help me answer this question?"
"The ocean is much larger than the land, and there are more types of fish and monsters growing in it than those seen on the land. The reason why we think it is dangerous is not entirely because of the giant sea beasts contained in it. It’s strange, especially because most of us can’t survive in the ocean.” The high priest said: “Even with the help of magic, we can breathe in the ocean, but compared with those monsters that live in the water all year round, no matter in terms of actions, , or the movements are much slower."
"Of course, there are many powerful monsters in the vast ocean, and some monsters are even more powerful than legendary heroes."
Hearing this, I couldn't help complaining: Legendary heroes are really miserable and they are always compared to them.
"So, the ocean is not that scary~" I said easily.
"It is still necessary to maintain a sense of awe," the high priest reminded.
After that, I asked some more miscellaneous questions, but most of them were useless chatter.
Finally, it was dusk, and I followed the high priest to the restaurant.
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, they saw Phoenix and the others sitting around the restaurant honestly.
I blinked at Phoenix, who smiled back at me.
As a result, this little move was seen by Barbara, who had sharp eyes. She bared her teeth at me in displeasure, which shocked me.
Before the banquet started, the high priest said a few polite words and then got down to business.
As I said before, I hope my wedding date can be postponed for a while.
After hearing the news that the wedding date was to be extended, all the girls showed unhappy expressions, and Barbara was so unhappy that she hugged her arms and pouted, showing ten sharp claws.
The high priest was not surprised by this. She smiled slightly and explained in detail the reason for delaying the wedding.
When they heard the words 'war may break out soon', most of the girls present became restless.
"Master High Priest," Cagalli stood up and said seriously, "Are you telling the truth?"
The high priest smiled and said: "Child, I don't have to deceive you."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Cagalli lowered her head and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I lost my tone because I was surprised."
"It doesn't matter, child," the high priest said: "No matter who it is, when they hear things related to war, they will have an inexplicable restlessness. Even I can't avoid this kind of restlessness. It's just because I have experienced it too much and I am used to it. That’s all.”
"Is the war like what is said in the novel, where several groups of people were fighting, and the fight was miserable, and some people even died?"
Barbara asked with her eyes widened.
"Yes, child," the high priest said, "wars kill people."
Barbara was instantly filled with sadness and anxiety: "Well, no, Xiaoyi and I can't delay our wedding, just in case we are at war."
Before Barbara could finish speaking, the high priest said: "No need to worry, children, you don't need to worry about this. Your future is clearly presented in my eyes. Although I can't tell you what the future will be like, but You just need to believe in him and your fiancé.”
"We are going to war and dying, how can we believe it!" Barbara pouted, becoming even more worried.
Cagalli walked up to her, blocked her gaze, and said firmly: "You should believe her. She is the high priest of our tribe and the most supreme prophet. She can see both the past and the future." , and her predictions have never been wrong, you have to believe in her, you have to believe in her just like you believe in Xiao Yi!"
