Chapter 2199 Mysterious Girl
After getting off the airship, everyone except Jin Siqi returned to the New Brave Guild first. I took Jin Siqi and went straight to the residence of the orc tribe's high priest.
As expected, before we arrived, there were already guards guarding the door, waiting for us.
When we arrived, the guards did not stop us and directly acted as guides to usher us into the main hall.
The high priest of the orc tribe, dressed in black robes and with an indifferent expression, sat in the center of the main seat. Beside her, a good-looking girl was blinking her big playful eyes and looking back and forth towards the gate.
As soon as I saw the figure, I immediately picked up the teapot, filled the other two teacups, then bowed and walked quickly into the back hall.
I only glanced at the girl and ignored her. I knew this girl. She was one of the guards dedicated to protecting the high priest. Although she was beautiful, she was much worse than my fiancée.
The high priest slowly raised his head, with a smile on his wrinkled face: "Tea."
"Thank you."
I thanked him, picked up the tea cup, and drank it all in one gulp. I felt that it was not enough, so I picked up the teapot without ceremony and poured myself seven cups in a row. Then I finally felt satisfied.
Compared with me, Jin Siqi seemed much more polite. She thanked her first, then slowly raised her tea cup and tasted it bit by bit. I drank seven cups of tea, but she didn't even have half a cup of tea. I didn't finish it, I was speechless.
After weighing the teapot, there was not much tea left, so he got up and walked into the back hall with ease, found a hot water kettle, and filled it with water.
The girl who served us tea earlier was sitting on a lounge chair in the back hall. Seeing me being so rude, she wasn't upset at all, she just kept laughing.
I folded my arms and leaned against the wall, wondering: "Why are you laughing?"
The girl's eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled: "I'm laughing at you just like the high priest said. It's both rude and familiar."
I spread my hands indifferently and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. This is my nature and I can't change it."
She didn't continue to ridicule me, she just kept laughing.
I was annoyed by her laughter, made a face at her, picked up the teapot and went out.
When the high priest heard my footsteps, he didn't even look back and said softly: "She is straightforward, naive and outspoken. Don't blame her."
"How can I blame her? I really like this girl. If she were not your guard, I would take her home as my wife."
"You can grab it, but I won't stop you," the high priest said with a smile.
He tilted the mouth of the teapot, filled the high priest's cup with tea first, and then poured himself a cup. He said: "The marriage that we should have is naturally unavoidable, but there is nothing in the first place. No matter how hard I force it, I'm afraid it will be nothing in the end." It will be in vain, and it may even lead to a tragedy.”
"Marriage is different from fate. Destiny is hard to change, but marriage can. If you want, you may not be able to achieve this marriage."
"Whether we are married or not is not something that should be discussed now. Lord High Priest, you should know the purpose of my visit."
"Of course I understand." The high priest smiled and clapped his hands twice. Not long after, the girl came from the back hall, carrying a scent and a handwriting.
"This is my handwriting. Take it as if I were present."
"Thank you, Lord High Priest, for your generosity and love."
As I spoke, I bowed and saluted.
Jin Siqi also reacted very quickly. When I saluted, she put down her tea cup, stood up, and saluted with me.
"These etiquettes are not necessary." The high priest waved his hand.
After Jin Siqi received the high priest's handwriting, the high priest looked at her and said with a smile: "Girl, you go back first. I have something to say to Xiao Yi."
Jin Siqi bowed and saluted again, and exited the hall with a respectful look.
Jin Siqi exited the hall, but the girl did not return to the back hall.
The high priest picked up the tea cup, took a sip, patted the cushion on the side, motioned the girl to sit down, then held her little hand and asked me, "Do you know who she is?"
"She is your escort" I said calmly.
"What else?" the high priest asked with a smile.
"Based on her closeness to you, I guess she is probably your descendant. I don't know how many generations of descendants she is."
"You guessed it wrong." The high priest smiled and shook his head: "The old woman has been appointed as the royal priest of the goblins since she was a girl. She has long dedicated her chastity to the God of Creation and the goblin ancestors of all generations. She will never marry in her life. How can there be descendants?"
"Then she is"
"Don't worry, let the old woman finish her words first." The high priest paused and continued: "You also know that as a priest, I have a clear vision of the future, but this ability has failed you. Actually, you are not the first person I have misjudged, the first one is her."
After hearing this, I looked at the girl across from me again. She had long lavender hair, a very charming face, and mischievous eyes. She was a lovely girl full of vitality.
Of course, based on these alone, it is still impossible to tell what is different about the girls.
In fact, it's not just her, but me too. In terms of appearance alone, I can only be considered handsome and somewhat cool. There are many men who have better looks and extraordinary temperament than me.
The high priest lowered his eyelids, looked at the tea in the cup quietly, and said slowly: "If it weren't for your appearance, maybe I would never care about her life experience. After all, the occurrence of a situation may be accidental. But when two identical situations occur at the same time, it is no longer a coincidence but a problem.”
"During this period, I read through all the ancient books and materials in my collection, and finally found a suspicious point in a volume of the most worn ancient documents."
Having said this, the high priest leaned forward and stared at me with a pair of eagle eyes. His voice was low and full of authority, and he said word by word: "You are not human."
I scratched my eyebrows and smiled.
"What's so funny?" asked the high priest.
"I just think your serious expression just now is very interesting." I sighed lightly, picked up the tea cup, dipped some tea in my index finger, and started writing on the brown table that was flat as a mirror. While writing, I said: "You are right, I am not a human being. This is my true identity."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and imitated his example, saying word by word: "Shang, Gu, demon, spirit."
"That's right, that's right!" the high priest said excitedly: "No wonder I can't peep into your future, ancient goblin. Ancient goblin, you are actually a descendant of the ancient goblin! Haha, the book says that there were once people in this world There are two most powerful races, each of which can dominate the whole world. One of them is the ancient elves, and the other is the ancient fairies. If you don't tell me today, I'm not sure whether it is a rumor or a fact. , but now that you have said it, I can already conclude that this is not a rumor, but a fact."
