Beauty and the Bodyguard

Temple of the Priest.

There were only the high priest and Lin Yi in the huge temple. The high priest took a deep look at Lin Yi and his first words were shocking.

"You know the content of the oracle just now, am I right? King of the Sea?"

Lin Yi's heart suddenly tightened.

He guessed that the opponent was not that easy to fool. Although the oracle just defeated the opponent's army and forced the opponent to make concessions, it actually left a trace to a certain extent.

Don't forget, this is the person closest to Poseidon, and he knows Poseidon's condition better than anyone else.

Others don't know about the loss of godhead, but he must have noticed it and made corresponding tentative actions.

Including this application for divine judgment, it is actually a test, a test based on Poseidon's situation.

This person is definitely an extremely difficult old fox to deal with!

Lin Yi looked at the other party with an unchanged expression: "I don't know the specific content of the oracle, but I can guess it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be drinking tea here, but I would have a headache how to find my personal guard camp." .”

"Yeah?"

The high priest shook his head noncommittally: "The King of the Near Sea is planning to play a riddle with me, so let me tell you straight away, Lord Poseidon will not issue an oracle easily in his current situation.

However, in just two days, two oracles appeared in succession, and the timing happened to be right after you became the King of the Near Sea. Don't you think it's a bit too coincidental? "

At this point, it is almost equivalent to a direct showdown.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely have exposed his faults when shocked. However, Lin Yi remained calm and had a confused look on his face.

"Perhaps my knowledge is shallow, but I don't think there is any coincidence. Master Poseidon issued a few more oracles on a whim. This doesn't seem to be that difficult to understand, right?"

The high priest looked at him deeply, and suddenly four words came out of his mouth: "The god's personality has been lost."

"..."

Lin Yi was stunned for a long time, then blinked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

The high priest carefully observed every subtle change in his expression, but couldn't see any flaws, and couldn't help but feel secretly suspicious.

Did you guess wrong?

Regarding the news about the loss of Poseidon's divine personality, he, the high priest, was actually the first-hand source. It was he who deliberately revealed it to Xiao Wudi through Zhang Xiangding's hands, and it was precisely because of this that the scene in the ruins of the empire happened.

Now that Lin Yi, a dark horse, has emerged from nowhere and must have had a close confrontation with Xiao Wudi, there is a high possibility that he will learn about the loss of his godhead, and may even become the biggest winner behind the scenes!

However, although he has not completely ruled out this possibility, he does not believe it too much.

The reason is very simple. With Lin Yi's realm and strength, no matter how against the heavens, it is absolutely impossible to swallow a real god, even the former god who has lost his god!

Little did he know that Lin Yi's trump card was far beyond his imagination.

The key is that he made one of the biggest omissions. Although he regarded Xiao Wudi as a pawn, he failed to realize that behind Xiao Wudi stood Li Yuanji, who was once the peak pseudo-god.

Therefore, even with the boldest and most bizarre guesses, he could only speculate that Lin Yi and Poseidon might have reached some kind of connection, but he could not imagine that Lin Yi was still the person behind all this.

"Ocean King, you are a smart man, I believe you will make a smart choice."

Listening to the high priest's meaningful words, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile: "Isn't the smartest choice just to follow Lord Poseidon's footsteps? Don't worry, high priest, I can still understand this."

The high priest choked. Even he could not refute such high-sounding words.

However, he specifically called Lin Yi here today, not just to be a Riddler.

He wanted to test out Poseidon's reality from Lin Yi, but he didn't dare to be too explicit.

In case his guess about the loss of godhead was wrong, Poseidon's current situation was not as difficult as he imagined. If he continued to press the question, it would be blasphemy to Poseidon.

Once the crime is confirmed, even if he is the high priest who is inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people, he will definitely die without a burial place.

He couldn't afford the risk.

The high priest could only change the subject: "I wonder what the King of the Sea thinks of those in the top five?"

"I have never had any serious dealings with those people, and I can't even name them. Even if the high priest lets me see them, I can't see any of them."

Lin Yi dealt with it calmly on his face, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It seems that although the oracle just made the other party suspicious, it also gave the other party a shock, making the other party unclear about the specific details of Poseidon for a while.

After all, the oracle is not that easy to activate. If Poseidon was in really bad condition, in order to avoid being judged by the fluctuations of his divine thoughts, the scene just now would never have happened.

It seems that at least for a short time, this person will not dare to act rashly.

The higher the status of a person, the more he cherishes his life. This principle has been tried and true no matter where it is applied.

The high priest said in a calm tone: "There are some differences between the priest system and the walking system. This must be clear to the King of the Sea, but in essence, we all reach the same goal through different paths. In the end, the overall situation is the most important thing."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement: "That's what the high priest said."

"However, we do not rule out the possibility that some people may say some things that are easily misunderstood for their own selfish reasons. King Jinhai is new here. I suggest you listen more and watch more, and don't jump to conclusions too quickly."

The high priest said sincerely: "Based on my experience as a person who has been there, not rushing to take sides is the safest and smartest strategy. If you rush in blindly, you will be the one who suffers in the end."

Lin Yi was convinced: "The high priest is indeed mature and prudent. Lin Yi has learned his lesson."

Judging from the scene alone, there was no smell of gunpowder between the two sides, and they were unusually harmonious.

The high priest smiled and then said: "King Jinhai does not need to take the matter of Zhang Xiangding and Lu Yangzhong to heart. I have carefully understood the causes and consequences. Everything King Jinhai did is justified. They can only bring it upon themselves."

Lin Yi immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, High Priest, for your understanding. With your words, I feel much more at ease."

"King Jinhai is serious, I'm just telling the truth."

There was a hint of meaning in the eyes of the high priest: "The days are long, and when the time comes, King Jinhai will know that you and I are actually the same people."

Lin Yi nodded repeatedly: "No, we are all on the same team now. After all, you are the leader of Poseidon Temple. Except for Lord Poseidon, we all have to listen to you."

"..."

The high priest was speechless.

In recent years, he has not met anyone who can make him choke with just a few words.
