When Fang Zheng brought the Witch Queen into the room, almost everyone in the room was stunned.
“High Priest!!”
The chief of the Bai Miao tribe rushed over and knelt in front of the witch queen, while Zhao Linger stood there in amazement, staring at her mother blankly. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"My child..."
At this moment, the witch queen also saw Zhao Linger, or rather, she focused all her attention on her daughter the moment she came in. At this moment, she also walked quickly in front of Zhao Linger and stretched out her hand tremblingly. The witch queen's memory of her daughter still stayed at the six-year-old girl before they escaped from the palace, but now, ten years have passed, and the little girl has grown into a graceful young lady.
"mother--!!"
At this moment, Zhao Linger also screamed, and then threw herself into the arms of the witch queen. Soon, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. When others saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Huh, anyway, one thing has finally been solved."
Looking at this scene with satisfaction, Fang Zheng nodded, and at this moment, suddenly, a rambling sound rushed in from outside the door.
"Mother! I have found the Wind Spirit Pearl!"
Hearing this word, everyone looked up at the door and saw a 14-year-old girl in Miao costume rushing in happily, holding a wind spirit bead in her hand. Seeing everyone in the room, the girl was stunned for a moment, and the chief of the White Miao tribe sighed helplessly and got up quickly.
"Anu, come and meet the high priest!"
"Hey? High Priest? Hey? High Priest?"
The girl named Anu opened her eyes wide and her mouth as big as an egg as she stared at the Witch Queen in amazement. After a long while, she suddenly reacted and rushed to the front of the Witch Queen.
"Really, High Priest, High Priest, do you remember me? I am Anu! My mother and I visited you once... Why are you here? I heard from my mother that you were executed by that annoying witch king?"
"That one is fake."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng also interrupted at the right time.
"In fact, the real Witch King was killed by the Moon Worshiper ten years ago. After that, he found a tree spirit to pretend to be the Witch King, but I chopped him to death. The current Witch King... I don't know if he is a peach spirit or something else..."
"What? Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and then looked at the Witch Queen. The Witch Queen was silent for a moment, and then nodded with a sad expression.
"this……"
For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say.
"alright."
Fang Zheng clapped his hands, interrupting the awkward silence among the crowd.
"Now that the five spirit beads have arrived, we should also consider what to do next... My opinion is this, since the witch queen... or the high priest has returned, then let's solve the drought problem first. After solving the drought, we will go and settle accounts with the Black Miao. Of course, the Black Miao attacked the White Miao before because the Moon Worshiper spread lies to confuse the people. I think we can play the card of the witch queen to refute the Moon Worshiper's lies. Perhaps, we can invite a few prominent figures of the Black Miao tribe to participate in the rain-making ceremony, let them see it clearly with their own eyes, and then we can tell them the news that the witch king had been killed a long time ago. If we can get the support of the prestigious leaders in the Black Miao tribe, then we only need to deal with the Moon Worshiper's lackeys and the water monster that has not been burned out."
"Your Excellency is absolutely right."
The chief of the Bai Miao tribe also nodded. Gai Luojiao had already taken back the Fire Spirit Pearl, and now she also had the Wind Spirit Pearl. She also hoped to solve this problem as soon as possible. Therefore, the chief of the Bai Miao tribe also looked at the witch queen and asked respectfully.
"It depends on what the high priest thinks."
"I have no objection."
Although the witch queen was naive, she was an adult to some extent and knew that things had their priorities. She had already reunited with her daughter and would have plenty of opportunities to catch up with her later. Right now, solving the drought problem in Miaojiang was the most important thing, so the witch queen nodded and immediately stood up and began to prepare.
The Bai Miao people were also very decisive in their work. The witch queen only said a few words to Zhao Linger before preparing for the ceremony. Meanwhile, the Bai Miao chief asked Gai Luojiao to take people to the Black Miao tribe to check out the situation and inform them. At this time, Fang Zheng also called Lin Yueru, Nie Xiaoqian, and Caiyi over.
"Okay, now you all know that the witch queen is going to hold a ceremony next. But according to my experience, this kind of routine usually leads to the villain boss coming to disrupt the scene."
"Uh-huh……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Lin Yueru nodded. She had joined Fang Zheng's "game testing group" for several days, and she understood what villain bosses and tricks meant.
"Yueru, Caiyi, I want you to stay with Ling'er for a while and be careful around you. The Moon Worshiper might send someone to sneak in and cause trouble...Xiaoqian, go back to the airship and ask Aige to stop what she is doing. Raise the airship to a high altitude and head to the altar to observe and pay attention to the surroundings. If there is any abnormal behavior, report to me immediately."
"I understand, Brother Fang, hold me."
Hearing this, Lin Yueru patted her chest vigorously, while Caiyi and Nie Xiaoqian also bowed.
"Cai Yi will obey the order of the Immortal."
"I understand."
"Okay, let's go."
Following Fang Zheng's order, the three women left immediately, and Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He naturally stayed with the witch queen just in case. After all, Fang Zheng was sure that if the Moon Worshiper knew about this, he would definitely interfere. Moreover, the water monster was originally an aquatic monster. It was not good on the ground, but it was its world in the water. Once the rain was successful, although it would relieve the drought in Miaojiang, it would also give the water monster a home advantage.
Fang Zheng was certain that the Moon Worshiper would take this opportunity to cause trouble.
"Hello……"
At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly felt someone pulling at the corner of his clothes. He turned around and saw the Miao girl Anu looking at him curiously.
"Are you Fang Zheng? The immortal who flew down from the sky on a big white ship? You look like a Han Chinese, why did you help us? Also, how did you rescue the high priest? I heard from my mother that she was killed a long time ago, and no one has found her for all these years..."
Anu's little mouth was like a lark, chirping very fast, and her voice was also very pleasant. After all, in the game, Fang Zheng could only see the text in the dialog box, and it was impossible to hear their voices - in those days, there was no idea of game dubbing.
Hearing Anu's question, Fang Zheng became curious and looked at her with a smile.
"You want to know?"
"certainly?"
"Haha, I won't tell you."
As he said that, Fang Zheng reached out his hand, pulled Anu's smiling face, and then left with a smile. Anu stood there blankly, and after a while, she suddenly stamped her feet and reacted. When she wanted to find Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng had already run away.
Everyone moved quickly. Not long after the airship rose again, the preparations for the ceremony were completed. The Black Miao tribe also sent several elders to watch the ceremony beside the altar. One of the elders, wearing a black eye mask, looked at the witch queen on the altar with a stunned look on his face.
But at this moment, the ceremony has already begun.
The witch queen placed the five spirit beads in the five directions of the altar according to their positions, then she prayed in a low voice and began to recite the spell for praying for rain.
"Gods of heaven and earth! In the name of the Holy Spirit of Nuwa, I ask you to grant new life to this land..."
Under the witch queen's prayers, thick rain clouds gradually appeared, covering the entire sky, and then... heavy rain poured down.
“It’s raining! It’s raining!!”
Looking at the rain falling from the sky, people from both the White Miao and Black Miao tribes couldn't help but scream, but the White Miao people were more excited, while the Black Miao people were more terrified.
"Oh no! Goddess Nuwa has appeared!!"
Many Black Miao soldiers dropped their weapons and fled desperately. Soon, more than half of the Black Miao soldiers had fled. They had originally attacked the White Miao because of the lack of water. Now that the drought was over, they naturally did not want to continue fighting.
It seemed that a crisis had been resolved.
But Fang Zheng knew very well that things were not that simple.
“…”
He could feel that the ground was shaking slightly, and at the same time, Fang Zheng also received a report from Ai Ge.
"Father, the instrument shows that at three o'clock, several life reactions are approaching quickly!"
After hearing Ai Ge's report, Fang Zheng's lips curled up slightly and revealed a smile.
Sure enough, the Moon Worshiper came to cause trouble again.
