Trafford’s Trading Club

Normally, if Boss Luo wants to go shopping, he will not be stopped...no one can stop him.

So while walking, Claudia, Mr. Otto, and Boss Luo suddenly separated for some reason... and it took a while before Claudia realized that her classmate Luo Qiu was missing. fact.

"When did you get lost?" Only she and Mr. Otto were left, and Claudia's tone was somewhat unkind...even wary.

Mr. Otto, who was asked this question, frowned and was obviously thinking about this question seriously - he recalled the details along the way.

After knocking Iben unconscious and hiding him, they followed several servants, trying to reach the palace banquet... During the process of following, he actually had a conversation with Luo Qiu.

Luo Qiu even asked him several questions seemingly casually - for example, asking him if he knew anything about the "Gospel of Judas" and what he thought about the "Gospel of Judas".

Although he was curious as to why the young man suddenly asked these questions, Mr. Otto simply said something - words that Claudia had actually heard before - on the way to the oasis.

It's just that this conversation is almost the same as when walking in the oasis... Claudia couldn't figure out the meaning of Luo Qiu asking again.

But the memory... seems to have ended here - since the question, it seems that they have no longer noticed the existence of Boss Luo, and now, they don't even know when they lost someone.

"There is no other way." Mr. Otto quickly made a decision, "Our goal is to find Princess Yamanlana, and he knows it... Instead of looking for him around now, we might as well go directly to the banquet site. , there is a high chance of encountering it.”

"It can only be the……"

Claudia shook her head. She always felt that after Luo Qiu was no longer around, her uneasy feeling suddenly rose to the maximum level... She subconsciously opened a step away from Mr. Otto.

Right now.

"your Highness!"

A young man in full attire, with a look of surprise on his face, shouted loudly from a distance... The young man walked quickly at this moment, "I didn't expect to see you so soon! Her Royal Highness Princess Yamalana!"

Claudia cursed in her heart, but at this moment she remembered what Mr. Otto had said before, so she had no choice but to pretend to be cold and hummed expressionlessly.

"Who are you?" Claudia said calmly: "Have I seen you?"

"I am the son of the Minister of Agriculture. Your Royal Highness, Princess, you can call me Mani!" The young man introduced himself enthusiastically and explained that he had come specially to attend the banquet today.

"Oh, really." Claudia nodded, "I was planning to go to the banquet too... Now that we have met, let's go together."

How could Mani, the son of the Minister of Agriculture, say no at this time?

He was immediately overjoyed and walked ahead arrogantly, feeling as if he was walking on the road to the pinnacle of his life.

But Claudia felt as if she was on a road of no return... Once this fake identity was revealed, she didn't know if she would be able to break out of the banquet hall with the weapons on hand, let alone rush out. The palace!

…

Strictly speaking, the entire Temple of the City of the Sun and the Royal Palace appear to be integrated... The temple is located at the deepest part of the Royal Palace, and the Royal Palace is actually built around the place where the temple is located.

Only members of the royal family are qualified to pass various checks and enter the temple.

As the most prestigious member of the royal family today, Princess Yamanlana naturally recognized the guards along the way, so the journey was smooth.

They are said to be guards, but in fact these guards do not belong to the management of the palace - they are affiliated with the temple. Only the pharaoh of the kingdom and the high priest of the temple can order them... and basically the orders of the high priest also need to be given. Superior to the pharaoh of the kingdom.

The reason why Princess Yamanlana was able to travel unhindered was naturally because of the artifact she was holding - this was something given to Princess Yamanlana personally by the God of the Sun. For the guards at the temple, nothing could be done about it. Different from being a sacred object, Princess Yamanlana is equivalent to a saint to them, and is the representative of the human world chosen by their true god.

How could the guards of the temple block the passage of the saint in the temple - as long as the saint could appear here.

"Where's the high priest?" Princess Yamanlana, who had completely entered the temple, met a priest and asked directly.

The priest replied: "The high priest entered the palace more than a month ago and has not come back. He just said that he would go on a far journey, but he would come back on the longest day of darkness."

The high priest is the national teacher of the kingdom, and is also the teacher who has taught Princess Yamanlana since she was a child... Princess Yamanlana nodded slightly, then waved her hand to let the priest go.

Interestingly, as a saint, her power in the temple far exceeds that of the pharaoh of the kingdom, but as a princess, she is not allowed to enter the temple at will... Of course, if she wants to enter the temple, in fact, the kingdom's It would be difficult for Pharaoh to stop it.

This is the relationship between the Pharaoh of the Kingdom and Her Royal Highness the Princess today.

Princess Yamanlana walked alone into the room between the gods...the place where the high priest used to listen to the oracle of the true god - only those chosen by the true body can have the ability to communicate directly with it.

Although Princess Yamanlana was given a divine weapon by the True God, she actually had no answer in her heart as to whether she was really chosen by the True God... She could only listen to some of the True God's words occasionally and unilaterally. sound.

The God Room is not a luxurious place, it is just a dark and small stone room... There is not even a single decoration here, and there is no place to sit.

But when Princess Yamanlana walked into the God Room, the entire simple stone room was filled with a burst of orange-red light... It was not strong, just like the afterglow of the sunset.

Her Royal Highness the Princess knelt down on one knee and uttered prayers with incomparable piety... After a while, she stood up, raised her head and said: "Great God of the Sun, why are you unwilling to give me guidance... The reproduction rate of the desert giant beasts has exceeded that in the past. If this continues, the City of the Sun may not be able to hold on when the next longest day of night comes..."

The stone room was so quiet that Princess Yamanlana seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat... The true god did not take the initiative to respond to her question.

Princess Yamanlana waited for a long time, and finally sighed slowly... She lowered her head in disappointment, and finally knelt on the ground and recited the prayer devoutly again.

After doing all this, Princess Yamanlana walked to the wall directly in front of the stone room with a solemn face, and reached out to press a brick in the middle.

The bricks sank into the wall with one click, and at the same time, another part of the wall opened instantly - the turned-out wall was obviously a stone shelf.

Princess Yamanlana quickly walked to the stone shelf and glanced at the shelf - she stretched out her hand and took out a box from the shelf - the same three boxes were still placed on the stone shelf. box.

Princess Yamanlana opened the box in her hand, looked at the contents inside, and then sighed: "Is this all left..."

Bullets... the box was filled with bullets.

Taking a deep breath, Her Royal Highness quickly calmed down and quickly took out some bullets from the box, then took out the artifact she had collected close to her body from her clothes, and then skillfully loaded the bullets into the pistol.

After she left the God Room, the God Room had returned to its original appearance... Princess Yamanlana left the God Room and walked alone in the empty temple, and saw that the afterglow of the setting sun had dispersed. Entering the temple, Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't help but frowned, "The sunset is coming soon. Maybe, I should do it again..."

…

Princess Yamanlana quickly left the temple and returned to the palace...but she was unwilling to go to the banquet immediately, so she walked alone in the courtyard of the palace.

While walking, Princess Yamalana suddenly frowned because she felt a gaze from behind the tree, "Who is there? Come out!"

Princess Yamanlana, who was brave and good at fighting and had been practicing kung fu since she was a child, suddenly turned around and took out the artifact hidden on her body like a flowing cloud.

Her Highness the Princess was even startled at this moment... She didn't even feel it. She didn't notice until someone was so close to her.

A figure slowly walked out from behind the tree.

Under the afterglow of the sunset, this figure slowly became clear in the eyes of Princess Yamanlana, with a smile that she had never seen before, as pure as a cloudless sky... On his shoulders, even A little bird also stayed.

The Holy Ibis is regarded as a sacred bird in the City of the Sun.

Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't help but frown. She knew that this sacred bird never liked to come into contact with humans... Only the royal palace kept a small number of sacred ibises in captivity, and they usually lived in the palace courtyard near the temple.

The person in front of him looked very young, and he was clearly wearing the clothes of a palace guard—obviously not a guard from the temple.

At this time, facing Princess Yamanlana's fierce preparation, the guard just blinked and stared curiously at the artifact in the hands of Her Royal Highness...the pistol.

I heard the guard say curiously at this time: "Is this the so-called artifact given by the true god?"

"You don't know who I am?" Princess Yamanlana frowned, feeling that the guard's attitude was too strange... Which guard would not be frightened and in awe when seeing her.

Is he new here? That's not right... Since you know the artifact, you should also know who she is.

"Princess Yamanlana, I know." The guard nodded, "I saw you coming back in triumph just now. You were so beautiful."

Princess Yamanlana frowned slightly again, because of the young guard's indifferent, almost frivolous tone. She snorted, but slowly took back the artifact in her hand... The education she received since childhood This prevents her from directly using her royal power to bully a small guard... But not to mention the guard she cares about, it makes Her Royal Highness feel uncomfortable.

"Are you new here?" The princess of the kingdom asked coldly, "Why have I never seen you before?"

The guard said sincerely: "I have indeed just arrived here...I am not even familiar with the roads here. If this is a place I shouldn't be, I will leave immediately, please don't worry."

What's going on with this guard... Is this the proper attitude when meeting the royal family?

That is to say, I met her as a princess. Because she often stayed with the soldiers in the military camp and had a magical experience, she didn't pay special attention to class... If it were another royal family, I'm afraid it would have been punished long ago. This guard who knows nothing about heaven and earth.

"It's not that you should come here." Her Royal Highness the Princess said calmly at this time: "It's that as a guard, you don't patrol the palace properly and instead come here to hang out... You are suspected of being lazy. , don’t you know it yourself?”

——Isn't this look too harsh... He is just a newcomer, maybe the leader of the guards has not had time to tell him the rules here.

"In this case..." the guard nodded, "It's true that I didn't think carefully. I will leave from here immediately. Please don't worry, Your Highness."

Princess Yamanlana shook her head. She was too lazy to argue with such a heartless guy... Just as she was about to wave the new guard away, the princess took a look and stood still. The young holy ibis rested on the shoulders of the new guard.

What's going on with this holy ibis? It's been standing on the shoulder of the new guard since just now, and it hasn't moved away for a long time... Princess Yamanlana couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Eh... is it injured?" Princess Yamanlana suddenly noticed that the wings of this holy ibis seemed to have been bandaged.

The guard nodded and said, "When I walked here, I saw its wings were injured and it was leaning against the tree alone."

"Did you bandage it?" Her Royal Highness the Princess had already walked to the guard and directly reached out to lift the holy ibis from the guard's shoulder.

The Holy Ibis looked quite docile in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"It was simply bandaged." The guard said casually, "I'm afraid there will be a wound in the future, but it shouldn't affect the flight... I'm still a little confident in bandaging the wound, so the princess can rest assured."

"Sacred ibises seldom come into contact with others." Princess Yamanlana suddenly glanced at the young guard and said with profound meaning: "They can distinguish those who are malicious and those who are kind-hearted. They are from the City of the Sun. Sacred bird.”

"It's still young, so maybe we can't tell the difference yet." Unexpectedly, the guard said nonchalantly at this time.

Princess Yamanlana shook her head, feeling that this guard was very different from other guards in the palace, so she asked directly: "What is your name?"

"Iben."

"Iben?" Princess Yamanlana nodded, then bent down, put down the sacred ibis on her hands, and let it walk slowly into the grass in the courtyard, and then said calmly: "I like you very much. Yes, you can follow me from now on."

"Your Highness, I'm new here. I'm afraid I don't understand many things." The guard shook his head.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who did not expect to be rejected, immediately snorted coldly. The evil spirit of fighting against giant beasts in the past ten years was overflowing, "I am a princess, and what I say is an order! If you don't understand, just learn from me! Follow up!"

Having said that, Her Royal Highness the Princess waved her sleeves and walked straight forward...
