Looking Forward to Another World

"well?"

The priestess made a surprised sound.

Because, in front of her eyes, the man who had just put on a demonic posture, for some reason, suddenly sent back the swarm of rats he had summoned.

The swarm of man-eating rats disappeared before her eyes. Although the priestess was greatly relieved, the man's sudden retreat also surprised her.

What surprised the priestess even more was that the other party seemed to cancel the magic that gave her the paralyzed state. Although she didn't cancel the magic that sucked her power, at least she was able to move now.

"Get up."

Li Ge spoke calmly as if he had done something that couldn't be easier.

"..."

The priestess couldn't figure out the attitude and thoughts of the other party, so she took a deep look at the other party, and then got up.

"My name is Li Ge Brihot." Li Ge looked at the priestess and asked, "What's your name?"

The priestess did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while before speaking.

"Maya Fett."

The other party introduced himself in this way.

"Miss Fei Te?" Li Ge nodded and said, "Although there are still many things that I don't understand, judging from the information you have revealed so far, we may not be enemies."

"Not the enemy?" The priestess who claimed to be Maya said: "So, you didn't come for this city, nor did you come for the temple in the city?"

"That's not necessarily true." Li Ge shrugged his shoulders, and said without any concealment: "Let's not talk about it, after I discovered this city, I wanted to explore it, to see if there is anything interesting here. Value of the idea of ​​a good thing."

"In this case, we have nothing to say." Maya said coldly: "My mission is to protect this city and the temple of worshiping gods. Since your purpose is to take away the things here, then we have nothing to do." Doubt is the enemy."

"It doesn't matter." Li Ge said lightly: "With different positions, hostility is inevitable. I can understand this, but I do have some questions that have not been resolved. If you are willing to solve them for me, I don't have to offend this person." A city will do."

"...I said, I no longer trust you outsiders." Maya did not relax her attitude, and said with hostility: "Unless you withdraw immediately, otherwise, I will not tell you anything .”

"Don't talk too soon." Li Ge's tone was still indifferent, and said: "Let's put aside the matter of this city and that temple for now, you can first tell me about the things you mentioned that have deceived you Is it something about outsiders?"

"If it's their business, it shouldn't have anything to do with your mission, right?"

"It's better to say that since they deceived you, then you and them are the undoubted enemies. In this case, what does it matter if they leak their information to me?"

"Or would you rather keep it a secret for them?"

Li Ge's words made Maya frown deeply.

Li Ge was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for Maya to organize her thoughts.

After a while, Maya raised her head and looked at Li Ge again.

"Why do you care so much about those scumbags?"

Maya asked this question, and the eyes under the mask were also staring at Li Ge closely, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts and see if he was lying.

Li Ge threw out a word bluntly.

"Because, they may be the culprits who caused me to fall here and secretly murdered me."

Yes, Li Ge suspects that those who deceived her in Maya's mouth are the masterminds behind manipulating the magic doll and the underground monster Yaraculon.

the reason is simple.

First of all, the other party obviously obtained the technology of ancient magic civilization from where, thus producing many magical dolls and strange holy objects.

This makes people have to imagine, where did the opponent's technology for making magic dolls and strange holy objects come from? Could it be in this city?

Secondly, the opponent has some kind of unknown connection with the underground monster Yarakuron, which allows the underground monster Yarakuron to cooperate with them in their actions, and can also send the magic doll here to ambush Lige.

That being the case, the other party must be able to come and go freely in Yarakulon's body, and has a full understanding of Yarakulon, the monster they call the holy beast. Even if they know that there is an ancient city here, it is still a little No wonder.

Based on the above two points, Li Ge suspected that those masterminds behind the scenes obtained the ancient magic civilization technology from this ancient city, and obtained the knowledge of making magic dolls and strange holy objects.

For some reason, they were able to come and go freely in the body of the underground monster Yarakulon, and discovered this ancient city. In order to take valuable things from this ancient city, they just deceived the guardian of this city. Maya, let Maya lead them into the temple, where they discovered the technology of making magical dolls and strange holy objects.

It was precisely because of such speculation that Li Ge cared about those outsiders who deceived Maya.

At least, Li Ge didn't think that those who entered Yaraculon's body like himself, discovered this ancient city, and entered here one step earlier than himself, would return home in defeat after deceiving Maya.

"Did you enter here because of the murder of those despicable people?" Maya, who didn't know all this, was stunned by Li Ge's speech, and then said in surprise: "Didn't you be swallowed by Yaraculon by accident?" Did you just come here?"

"No." Li Ge shook his head and said, "I was trapped here because of deliberate schemes."

Li Ge briefly explained what happened to him.

"Impossible." Maya didn't quite believe it, and said, "How could someone be able to control Yala Kulon?"

Li Ge really wanted to ask Maya why this ancient city was in the body of Yarakulon, and why she claimed to be the guardian of this city.

But these questions, judging from the repulsive attitude shown by the other party, there is a high probability that the other party will not answer honestly.

Therefore, Li Ge could only focus on the despicable people Maya spoke of.

"Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth." Li Ge said: "In short, I want to know about those people, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

This trick is called advancing with retreat.

There's no way, Maya doesn't take hard things, but she is immune to all kinds of manipulative magic, as long as she doesn't want to say it, Li Ge can't do anything to her.

Of course, if it was really necessary, Li Ge felt that it would be better for him to think about what "disgraceful means" he should use to get the other party to cooperate.

Fortunately, Maya finally relaxed her mouth after frowning and thinking for a while.

"You're right, I don't need to keep a secret for those despicable people." Maya snorted lightly, and said, "Since what you want to know is about them, then I'll tell you."

With that said, Maya spoke up.

The story is actually very simple, so simple that Maya really thought it was just a chance encounter at the beginning.

"When I found them, they were fighting the giant guards guarding the gate."

Maya said so.

"There are not many of them, only about six or seven, but their strength is not bad. Not only can some of them fight against the two giant guards at the same time, but some of them exude a more dangerous aura than that. They all feel that they are probably not opponents.”

"When they saw me, although they were very surprised, they kept stating that they were not hostile."

"They said that they were swallowed by Yaraculon who suddenly appeared from the ground during their journey. They drove the monster bugs all the way, looking for a way to get out, and came here without knowing it."

"I took their word for it, so I invited them into the city and stayed with them for a while."

Obviously, it was during this time that those outsiders gained Maya's trust.

Maya, who listened to their words, gradually trusted them and at the same time lost her wariness towards them.

"They said that they have nowhere to go, and there are monsters everywhere outside. They begged me to take them in and allow them to live here temporarily until they find a way to get out."

"I agreed."

"They said they wanted to find a place to settle down and let me show them around the city."

"I agreed."

"After that, they said that they were very curious about the temple and wanted to go in and have a look."

"I hesitated again and again, but finally agreed."

"I think that no one has gone into the temple to pray for a long time. God may feel lonely. I am sad that there are no more believers here, so I think it is rare for someone to enter here, even if it is only to offer to God once. Prayer, that's something to be happy about too."

"Who knew, they took advantage of my unpreparedness and knocked me out. When I woke up, many treasures in the temple were taken away."

Having said that, Maya's tone was filled with strong anger.

"I want to catch up, cut them into pieces, and repent for blaspheming the gods and the city, but because of my mission, I can't leave the city for too long, let alone leave the city too far. Maya said furiously: "Those despicable people who deceived me just disappeared without a trace! It's really annoying! Hateful!"

"Really?" Li Ge didn't empathize, but asked, "When did this happen?"

This question received an unexpected answer.

"have no idea."

Maya answered very simply.

"ha?"

Li Ge was stunned.

"So, I don't know." Maya said confidently: "I will only wake up when the giant guard guarding the gate is activated, and the giant guard guarding the gate will only activate when someone approaches the city. I have been in a deep sleep for the rest of the time, and I don’t know how long it has passed.”

Hearing this, Li Ge finally understood why the priestess was at a loss for the term "ancient magic civilization".
