Trafford’s Trading Club

The guards of the palace have obviously become more heavily guarded - a difference from Claudia's initial mixing with the palace as Princess Arman Lana.

I'm afraid it's only because of what happened at the banquet that the palace has now strengthened its defense.

But Mr. Otto's escape with Claudia is going well at the moment… it's just that Claudia's lack of information about her new classmates along the way is probably the only thing she's worried about right now.

It may be a relationship that we all share as a common feeling from the modern world that does not belong here.

“That Ibn, let's just leave it alone?” Claudia suddenly remembered Ibn, who had first been knocked unconscious by Otto.

Otto said directly: "He's Ibn, I know Aria, and he's still outside the Oasis Temple. ”

Claudia got bored for a moment, and then she said, "Mr. Otto, can you really tell? There are worlds on both sides, like mine, like Aria, even..."

“Even what else?” Otto turns directly back.

Claudia opened her mouth and wanted to say that there were even high priests like her father, but when she got to her mouth, she eventually became: "Perhaps as well as you. ”

“That's why we should leave this place. Ottoman said with no expression:" If you remain in falsehood, one day even you will be assimilated into falsehood. ”

Being falsely assimilated… Claudia seemed to have caught something in her mind.

She was about to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden stop of Otto leading the way ahead. At this point, when he saw Mr. Otto standing in front of him, Claudia subconsciously frowned, “What happened? ”

“Wait till you hide yourself.” Mr. Otto spoke coldly.

“What do you mean...” Claudia suddenly shook, and at the same time, a sharp arrow burst into front of her... watching as she inserted the arrow rod that was still trembling straight into the ground, she sucked in the cool air!

It's the White Robe Guard - five White Robe Guards appeared on the way to the front! Even one of the White Robe Guards had a strange flute in his hand!

He's playing this flute, obviously to get more people together.

“Your Highness, the High Priest invites you back.” The whistle-blowing White Robe guard sighed, "Besides, the man who intended to take His Royal Highness... execute him! ”

Claudia whispered, “Can you handle these guys? ”

She remembered Otto quietly knocked out two White Robe Guards and was nervous but not too panicked.

Otto returned to Claudia with an indescribable look… Then suddenly his body moved, instead of pushing Claudia away for the first time, he held her in his hand and pinched her neck: "Push away, or I won't be polite to Her Highness. ”

Claudia reacted, screaming, “Stay back! This guy is really going to kill me... stay away! Don't come any closer, he's really going to kill me... ah, ah... ah! ”

“Will you... will you stop talking?” Mr. Otto whispered in her ear from time to time.

“Why? I think I'm totally showing fear." ”Claudia moves her lips.

“I wish you hadn't been in your school's theater troupe or something.” Mr. Otto sighed.

At the same time, the White Robe Guards, who had no intention of cooperating at all with the show, made their move at a time when there was a single order from the leader.

“Female capture... male kill! ”

At the same time, in the face of the siege of several White Robe Guards, Mr. Otto obviously did not dare to be too careless, and he had to push Claudia away - he noticed the language of these White Robe Guards.

Girl!

Clearly, in their eyes, Claudia has not been regarded as Her Royal Highness the Princess… Even if the true Princess Amarana were here, their attitude would not have changed much.

These amazing white robe guards are merely high priests loyal to the temple.

Claudia was pushed aside, Otto was surrounded by five white robe guards... This was the first time she had seen Otto's hand personally. I had no idea how good it was. Five white robe guards fought alone, and she still had more than a swim blade.

But Mr. Otto has not been able to last long - but for a moment, more White Robe Guards have been assembled by the flute to face the multiplier White Robe Guards, and Mr. Otto, no matter how powerful he is, will end up with a double fist.

Obviously, the White Robe Guards also had a skilled method of confrontation, which eventually pushed Mr. Otto down.

Otto's hands were grabbed by two white robe guards, while his legs were kicked and he had to kneel on the ground.

“Always just a mortal…” Mr. Otto couldn't help but smile.

He turned his head and Claudia was similarly grabbed by two white robe guards, unable to escape... Otto saw and sighed in secret.

At this point, the guardian of the outer white robe suddenly stepped aside and saw the high priest of the temple walking slowly… the high priest was now changing into a set of black robes.

He did not wear any ornaments on his head, his hair naturally dissipated, but his face was a strange soft colour.

The high priest walked up to Otto, who had been captured, and looked up, and his eyebrows wrinkled deeply - apparently he also recognized the look of the high priest….

“Shegatu?” Mr. Otto subconsciously said.

“Bold! How dare you call the High Priest's name!” Behind him, a white robe guard came to Mr. Otto's face - a slap that worked, only to see Mr. Otto get slapped and his mouth spilled.

Watching the White Robe Guardian wanting to keep beating him, the High Priest suddenly waved his hand, and the White Robe Guardian respectfully took two steps back.

The high priest just looked around - Otto was captured, but in order to catch him, there were seven white guards lying around!

Though not dead, these White Robe Guards are clearly already badly wounded and will not recover at all for a short time.

“These White Robe Guards are the elites of the temple, they are remarkable. You can not only persist, but even beat seven of them under the siege of so many White Robe Guards...” The High Priest looks down at Otto, “I didn't think your hands were so good, it seems a pity to kill you like this. ”

“What, esteemed high priest, is it interesting to solicit my prisoner, who intends to take the princess?” Mr. Otto said softly.

“You'll find out soon enough.” The high priest smiled slightly, then waved.

A white robe guard came forward with a wooden stick in his hand and knocked it down towards Otto's back neck... after failing to knock Otto unconscious, he knocked again, when Otto slowly fell down and let the white robe guards drag him away.

……

When the High Priest came to Claudia, she wanted to act calm, but her body was much more honest than she thought.

The high priest looked at her without a word... and Claudia panicked, “I... I, in fact, I...”

“Her Royal Highness was shocked.” The high priest whispered softly: "Her Royal Highness showed us tonight that the giant beast attacked, and now someone is going to take you away... it seems that the guard of the palace is too lax. ”

“Yes… yes.” Claudia finds that she dares not look at it... especially when she analyzes that this high priest, most likely a giant beast, is trying to destroy this Sun City guy thing, the fear in her heart is long overshadowed!

“Somebody escort Her Highness back. The thief must not be allowed to approach Her Royal Highness again!” The High Priest said in silence: "Once more, you will enter the chastisement yourselves and be punished. ”

These white robe guards, who have always had no expression, somehow, when they heard between the punishments, they revealed their horror... these machine-like guys in Claudia's view, there was something to fear?

But she let these White Robe Guards take them away and on their way back to the Sleeping Palace... Claudia turned subconsciously and saw that the High Priest did not leave immediately, but rather stood in his place and looked silently at his distant back.

Shegatu... the name of the high priest, also known as Shegatu?

Is this a coincidence, or... Claudia can't hold on for a moment, but she just has a very special feeling - she feels like she's staring at her high priest, Shegatu, and she seems to overlap suddenly with her father, Professor Shegatu.

She burst into shock and sounded what Mr. Otto had said - that if you were to remain in falsehood, one day even you would be assimilated into falsehood.

False...

……

The fire lit the dungeon, and a white robe guard picked up a kettle of water and threw it directly at Mr. Otto - but the kettle did not wake Mr. Otto.

While the White Robe Guardian was about to pick up another pot of water, the High Priest waved his hand and said, "Go away, all of you. ”

“High Priest, this man is powerless, I'm afraid!” The White Robe Guards were slightly surprised.

Instead, the High Priest shook his head and waved his hand again… These white guards did not dare to turn away, but withdrew silently from the dungeon. It was only then that the High Priest walked into the presence of Mr. Otto, trapped by chains, and looked down at him.

“Don't pretend, open your eyes.” The High Priest said coldly, “I have something to ask you. ”

Mr. Otto did not react, he kept his head down, and the High Priest waited for a moment before saying, "Do you know what this place is? This is where the punishment leads... right behind you is the door, between the punishments. ”

Mr. Otto still has no reaction.

Nor does the High Priest care, and he says to himself, “Between the so-called punishments is the place where God is going to punish the sinners. Inside, you won't experience any physical torture... it's just a simple room with nothing, out a little bit. ”

Mr. Otto still has no reaction.

The High Priest said softly: “Except for a little... after a long time between punishments, you will see the most painful, final regrets of your life... whether you pierce your own eyes or pierce your own ears, these painful, regrettable things will appear in your mind again and again, never stopping. ”

Finally, Mr. Otto's breathing seemed a little quicker and his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously... but the high priest smiled softly: “After those unobedient white robe guards entered the punishment, I only saw guys who could last up to three days, and most of the others would kill themselves less than a day... of course, you can also think that I was just lying to you. What does it matter? Anyway, I'm going to send you in and let you know for yourself... Actually, maybe I'm really lying to you. ”

Mr. Otto opened his eyes without a sign and raised his head slowly, but smiled: “So the high priest of the temple has such an interesting side... as a sacrifice, I didn't expect to like torturing others so much. ”

The High Priest said softly: "Torture? No, we just believe that it is usually only in a state of regret that a person goes to shame for a mistake he has made before… Torture in the mind makes one aware of the line between right and wrong. ”

Mr. Otto shrugged his shoulders and said softly: "I do not know, Your Highness, if there has ever been anything regrettable or painful. ”

The High Priest said softly: "The chastisement does not work for me, because I am the spokesperson of the True God. ”

Mr. Otto was not angry, he just showed a rather interesting look, “You are the high priest of the kingdom, you have powerful white guardians, in the eyes of the people of the City of the Sun, even higher than the Pharaoh here, you are still the spokesperson of the true God... I wonder why you want this Pharaoh to exist. You can take full control of the kingdom by yourself. ”

“The State needs an administrator, and the temple needs an agent.” The high priest shook his head: “There is not necessarily a conflict between the two. ”

Mr. Otto frowned and said: "Haven't you heard of the High Priest, the Sovereign God? ”

“Looks like…” the High Priest looked deeply at Mr. Otto and smiled. "You seem to be a loyal follower of the divine rights. ”

Mr. Otto said frankly: "After all, mortal bodies cannot compare to shoulder gods… If mortal bodies cannot compare to shoulder gods, why not embrace gods in order to gain power over mortals? ”

“You want extraordinary power?” The High Priest asked with some curiosity, "Why? ”

Mr. Otto said slowly: "Probably because it's been a long time, I want to try everything. ”

The high priest frowned, and he carefully gauged Mr. Otto for a while before slowly saying: “You actually told me this once. ”

“What did you say?” Mr. Otto couldn't help frowning… while a hidden fear suddenly sprang to his mind.

“It doesn't matter what I say.” The High Priest shook his head, "the important thing is, it's time for you to get out of here... Otto. ”

Mr. Otto suddenly glared at his eyes, and instantly the light flashed and said, “Are you Shegatu… Professor?! ”
