He took the other person to his own palace.
Sean asked Illya to call away all the palace maids around him and left her to pour tea for him.
Sit down quietly...
Sean saw that the other person was very calm, with a look of "waiting!" and "thinking!" hanging over his head.
I guess the high priest should have guessed what I wanted to ask.
Look at the opponent's level: [Health, Magic, Human], a standard level 15 Orderer character.
Those who can reach level 10 or above are truly powerful people. Sean had fought with the court wizard of the Bashalan Empire once before. No matter what magic he used, the opponent could almost kill him in one move.
If Frelia had not been there at the time, I guess I would have had to rely on the favor of the Lord of Time to gamble on whether I could survive.
But one thing is certain: I was a level 5 Orderer at the time, and I had no chance of resisting the opponent... The level suppression completely overshadowed the bug that allowed me to see the casting conditions.
Even if I knew in advance that the other party was going to set fire, I would not be able to resist it with the existing magic.
The high priest in front of him was a Level 15 Orderer, with strong enough abilities. He was considered one of the most important people he had met in the past few days.
Illya beside him poured tea...
In Adak tea, more honey is added, which makes it sweet and soothing to the throat, and very refreshing in this weather.
And what Sean had people put in there was indeed salt.
"Hmm? This is the taste of tea."
"What do you think, High Priest? I asked someone to put salt in it." Sean said with a smile at the other person's surprised expression.
“No wonder it has a certain salty taste, but it gradually turns sweet.”
"As long as you control the amount, this is actually a good summer tea. High Priest, you can try it yourself next time."
"Well, definitely, I have to try it."
After two drinks, the small talk was over and Sean was ready to ask for the answers he wanted.
"High Priest, do you know why I called you here?"
"It has something to do with the Queen." It seems that the other party did guess it, but only a little bit.
"It does have something to do with my mother, but there are other things as well."
At this moment, the other person's eyes suddenly changed.
It was the favorability of [Respect] that allowed Sean to speak freely, and from the history that the other party had previously introduced, it could be seen that the current Temple of the Sun was rebuilt in the year when his mother ascended the throne.
Although there is a big age difference between them, these people in front of him were all his mother's subordinates, so their attitude towards him is relatively better.
"I know Your Highness will ask this question sooner or later, but I still want to remind you... Don't delve too deeply into those ancient divine religions. There are many unknowns there."
really.
The high priest still gave this advice.
Ancient God Cult, that actually refers to the believers of ancient gods... It is called differently in different places, but as long as it is spoken out, anyone with a keen eye will understand it.
“I just want to understand why.”
"The Queen said the same thing back then, but she fell deeper and deeper into depravity and kept talking nonsense. She died within a few years." Perhaps because the Sun King was away, the high priest spoke more bluntly this time.
I see.
My mother was implicated because of her research on those things.
Sean had witnessed the true appearance of the ancient god twice, or at least part of the ancient god's incarnation.
The tension and madness in the old city of Tacoma is still scary even now when I think back on it. As for Yog-Sothoth later, it was better.
The other party has never really come to this world, but has been overlooking the world from the distant stars in a high-level posture that humans cannot understand.
The last time was at the palace of the Basaran Empire, which was probably the closest it had ever been.
However, the time of this world completely collapsed at that moment. It is estimated that even in the Adak region, there may be no memory of those few minutes.
If all this is related to those ancient gods, then it will be tricky!
"But even if you don't tell me, I will still look for it. After all, it is related to my mother, so... I hope the high priest can tell me the truth." Sean pleaded.
Only in this way can the high priest speak.
The other party still persuaded for a few more words, and finally sighed and said.
"This kind of thing will only get worse. Your Highness, do you know why the Queen came back?" He asked a question that Sean thought was stupid.
If you knew it yourself, why would you worry about it!
"When the Queen was still alive, she often told me about her days in the small town. Although she was poor, she lived happily every day, especially when she was with Baron Weigel and after His Highness was born."
As if reminiscing, she told Sean the story of the modern queen.
"When the Queen first passed the throne to the Sun King, she really only wanted her younger brother to succeed her. She ran away just to force us ministers to support the Sun King."
"...The Queen has been traveling alone through the desert kingdoms for many years, improving her abilities. She also discovered the existence of ancient cults. She was searching for something, and that's why she traveled to the Bashalan Empire."
The high priest's story matched what Sean had heard in the small town.
The town is indeed quite remote, but according to what the little girl Igonia said later, the ancient tomb was once the hiding place of a wizard. He might have left something there, which attracted generations of explorers to come to the town from afar.
My mother must have come this way too, but she didn't expect to stay in the small town of Telemian and marry the baron there.
It can be said that the previous generation of Baron Weigel was quite lucky. Because of his honesty and simplicity, he married an imperial queen, the queen of the entire Adak.
"Then why did she come back?"
"It was also because of this incident that the Sun King heard that the Queen might be in Basaran and went to see her himself, but unfortunately he didn't find her. However, the Queen heard from somewhere that someone was plotting to harm the royal family, so she returned."
All the stories went back to more than ten years ago about my mother and the small town...
"Did she hear it from up there? And does the High Priest know the name Nyarlathotep?"
"I once heard from the Queen that this was a deity worshipped by an ancient religious organization... Perhaps this name isn't correct either, it's just something they casually mentioned."
"What organization?" Sean asked.
"The Pharaoh Brotherhood... a name that appeared in the desert kingdoms ten years ago, but it has gradually disappeared in recent years."
"Are they involved in my mother's death?"
"No direct connection. The Queen was researching quite a few ancient cults at the time... But a few days before her death, she came to me and told me about an evil god from an ancient land beyond the sea."
