Chapter 19 The President Sells His Wife?
Kaiba and Mana moved into the village that evening; at the same time, another girl crept in. She was wearing a large but shabby robe, and no one could see her appearance clearly.
The girl walked around the village cautiously with her bare feet. She who is on the run should obviously not come to a place where humans gather like a village. The ruins in the wild are often her hiding place.
But something forced the girl to take the risk and come here - she looked at the young priest who was reading a book in the village chief's home from a distance and was about to start taking a rest, a girl's heart was constantly beating in her chest.
[Lord Seth...] The girl was so fascinated by what she saw that she didn't notice that her cloak was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind, and the face under the cloak... suddenly looked completely different from that of a normal person. His blue eyes and white hair!
"This...this is a monster!"
The girl just reacted after hearing the voice of a young man. When she turned around, she saw a slovenly-looking man in tattered clothes pointing at her with a trembling index finger, and she finally realized that her hood had been lifted, and her ominous face was suddenly exposed. In front of everyone's eyes!
At this time, she screamed that something was wrong, but it was already too late. Brown-to-white-skinned Egyptian villagers and black Nubian villagers gathered around her in an instant, just like NPCs spawned in the game. Looking at the girl with blue eyes and white hair, they all started talking in horror.
This is a village where Nubians and Egyptians live together. Although the Egyptians, as the mainstream ethnic group, generally accept the existence of dark-skinned Nubians, and as long as the Nubians work hard, the Pharaoh will not be stingy with them. They are kind, but it is certain that they are not welcome with dark skin. Therefore, as a subordinate race, the Nubians are naturally a relatively low-level group in this village. Except for the prisoners who were exiled here by the Pharaoh and cannot be viewed as adults, they have the lowest status and are often discriminated against.
In this case, will the Nubians, who are already at a low level in this village, take pity on the girl in front of them at this time?
Obviously, this is impossible - in front of the "heretic" girl, the originally dark skin color of the Nubians suddenly became a symbol of status at this moment, and the surrounding Nubians all looked at her. The girl pointed, showing an expression of surprise and fear at the same time, as if what she saw in front of her was not a cute girl, but a ferocious beast.
(In a sense, they really thought it through...)
The Nubians, who were suppressed by the Egyptians every day but dared not speak out, had the biggest reaction when they saw the girl. In fact, they had long wanted to have a lower life so that they could live the life of the ordinary Egyptians. It's addicting, and the girl in front of me is obviously suitable for this role.
"Monster! Get out!"
"Skin her off!"
"The Valley of the Wang Family is nearby. If you don't break this monster into pieces with a hammer and then burn it, you will be punished by the gods!"
The Nubians were making a lot of noise. Judging from their behavior, they probably wanted to lynch the girl in front of them immediately and execute her directly.
Unlike those Nubians who wanted to immediately lynching, although the Egyptians also hated the blue-eyed and white-haired girl in front of them, according to tradition, they still planned to tell the higher-ups to handle the matter - in the past, they would go to the village. Chief, and now there are people in the village who are more suitable to handle this matter, and that is the priests who have just moved into the village.
So an older and more prestigious Egyptian interrupted everyone's discussion and stood up and said: "Everyone is optimistic about her. There is a priest in our village. He should be following this monster. We will go and invite the priest right away." Destroy her! You guys, keep an eye on her, don’t touch her and don’t let her escape!”
Several young Egyptians nodded upon hearing this, then stepped forward and drove away the group of people who were planning to attack the girl.
Because the purpose of the white-haired girl coming here was to see Set, it was not far from the village chief's house where Kaiba and Mana were staying, and Mana arrived within a short while. Also following her was an ordinary-looking young man.
But when the white-haired girl who was trembling slightly in the strange eyes of everyone saw this person, she calmed down instantly.
Of course, most of the villagers just regarded her as a normal behavior when a demon met a priest who was her natural enemy, and they all praised Mana's power - even though this confused girl still looked confused.
Seeing that the priests had arrived, the Nubian people who had been so addicted to their mouths quickly dispersed. If they really wanted to lynch people, they would not dare to do so without a leader, not to mention that this is the place after all. The land of the Egyptian Pharaohs had its own laws, and the punishment for abuse of lynching was very serious.
After everyone dispersed, Mana finally saw the girl in front of her. Her clear blue eyes were like precious gems. Mana knew immediately that the girl in front of her was not a villain.
As for the frightened eyes of the villagers around her, Mana only thought that they were ignorant - although as a trainee priest, she did not have the ability to summon elves, but Mana knew a lot of elves, and among them was Qingyan. Gray hair is not an exaggeration.
The girl in front of me is not a devil. She should be cared for and not trampled on.
【and……】
Mana looked behind her. For some reason, the priest Set who came here with her did not speak.
Others did not know and therefore regarded her as the backbone, but she knew that the opinion of the great priest who possessed the thousand-year-old artifact was the most worthy of consideration.
Kaiba did not speak, and now everyone was looking at Mana, hoping that as a priest, she could give the sinner a due punishment.
[Forget it, I will decide for myself...] Mana felt that the priest Set had already started to hang up at this time, so she should probably solve this matter by herself, [At least she should not be bullied any more! 】
"She is not a devil, but a human being with some special characteristics." Mana said to the villagers in a decisive manner. Her words represented the authority of this country, which relieved the people who were worried that this was a witch before. Then Mana said to the village chief and his group: "Find a place to give her a bath, a meal, and then..."
"Then what? Priest?"
The village chief's family carefully remembered Mana's words. For them, even if this white-haired girl was a little weird, if the priest said she was fine, then there was no problem, so now they just needed to listen to the instructions.
But Mana suddenly stopped, which made everyone a little strange.
And the reason why Mana's words came to an abrupt end was because "Priest Set" suddenly stuffed a piece of papyrus into her and asked her to say what was written on it.
"Then..." Mana, who had just said that she would treat the other party well, read out the words written on the paper with some entanglement: "Then... do you have a dungeon here?"
Everyone: [? ? ? ]
When she heard this, the blue-eyed girl widened her eyes and looked at the person who handed over the note in disbelief...
