Xia You followed Maya out of the banquet hall, and the two of them walked towards the interior of the Sea Temple.
The banquet has been held until now. At this time, the sky outside has turned dark, and the candles in the corridor have been lit again.
The warm and dim candlelight illuminated the stone slabs under their feet, and the familiar sound of swirling water reached Xia You's ears again.
Along the way, he also wanted to ask some questions about the inheritance ceremony, but Maya seemed to have some concerns and was unwilling to disclose any information, making it mysterious.
Forget it
Since Maya didn’t want to say more, Xia You didn’t bother to ask any more questions.
After all, no matter what kind of ceremony it is, he believes that Maya will not harm him after all.
In fact, privately, Xia You also thought about a question from time to time, and that was why he changed differently from others after receiving the blessing of the soul of the sea.
But don’t talk about himself. Even Maya is unaware of such strange changes.
Sometimes he even thinks that this has nothing to do with his identity as a time traveler.
After all, apart from this, he really can’t think of any difference between himself and others. at.
In this way, both of them were a little silent, but each had some thoughts.
When they finally came to a room, Xia You looked up at the door, but was surprised to find that this was Maya's bedroom
Hmm
Isn't it about the inheritance ceremony? How did it come here?
Is it going to be held in her room?
Or are there any props that need to be taken out first?
With this in mind Confused, he followed Maya into the room.
Compared with the mess on the ground when I came last time, this place has been completely repaired, and there is no trace of damage at all.
There were two maids in the room at this time. When they saw Xia You coming in, they came closer and took off his coat before Xia You could refuse.
Arrived here, Xia You couldn't help but feel curious, looked at Maya and asked, "Miss Maya, what is the inheritance ceremony you are talking about?"
Maya walked to the balcony, He glanced at the moon, then turned to face Xia You. He seemed to have no intention of hiding anything anymore, but slowly said, "Since the establishment of the Temple of the Sea, our great priests have always been the leaders of the temple, and they have always been led by women. This is both a tradition and an unchangeable rule."
Xia You nodded. He had heard Xiu Yi mention this before when he was riding a speedboat. It seemed like it had been a big deal since ancient times. Indeed, the priesthood has always been held by women.
But why are you mentioning this?
Maya continued, "Compared to men, women are less likely to be confused by money, status, beauty and other things. will be more neutral and will not have obvious political leanings, so it will indeed be of great help to the development of the temple and will not letWe have gone astray, and we have always enjoyed a transcendent status on the Whirlpool Islands, but there is one thing that has been bothering us since ancient times. ”
Xia You chuckled, “You are all so rich and powerful, yet something still bothers you.”
Maya looked at Xia You deeply, “It’s a matter of inheritance.” "
Inheritance
Xia You restrained her smile and did not speak, but patiently waited for her next words.
"It's embarrassing to say" Maya sighed He said, "In the first one or two hundred years since the establishment of the Temple of the Sea, the position of high priest has always been filled by capable people. After suitable heirs appear, the throne will be passed to them. But after a few hundred years, Out of the desire for power, my ancestors had always firmly held the position of high priest in their hands, changed this tradition, and passed it on to their descendants, which continues to this day. ”
Xia You also remembered at this time that Maya had indeed mentioned that she took over the position of priest from her mother.
It seems like what she said In this way, the position of high priest has indeed been firmly held by her family.
At this moment, the moonlight shines on Maya's body, making her look even more holy, as if she is covered with a layer of silver. Sha.
She said firmly, "As a member of the family, I will definitely have to give birth to my own children in the future to continue passing on the bloodline and the position of great priest. "
This has been said very straightforwardly, Xia You vaguely realized something.
"So"
Maya walked towards Xia You After a few steps, he solemnly said, "So, the combination of the sea hero and the great priest has been a common thing since ancient times. In fact, in my family, many people in my ancestors were once the sea hero, and they were born with them. The blood of the descendants will become more perfect."
It turns out that this is the so-called inheritance ceremony
To be honest, Xia You never thought before that the so-called inheritance ceremony turned out to be It will be this
But then again, no wonder Maya is not only beautiful, but also has such a noble temperament. It turns out that it was created after generations of genetic improvement
Maya said, "Since You have agreed to the inheritance ceremony before, so we also"
"Sorry" before Maya could finish her words, Xia You quickly smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I didn't know what the inheritance ceremony meant in advance. That’s why I agreed rashly, and I have a girlfriend, so please forgive me for refusing. "
Maya didn't seem surprised by Xia You's rejection.
"Your girlfriend should be the lady named Li Jia"
Xia You opened his mouth and wanted to say that his girlfriend was not her, but his current relationship with Li Jia could not be regarded as a simple friend. If not, would it be possible for outsiders to see the two of them as inseparable? Let Maya think he is some kind of scumbag
Besides, from beginning to end, he and Nazi never made it clear what kind of relationship they had. MaybeTreating Nazi as his girlfriend is just wishful thinking on his part.
With his mind spinning, Xia You did not explain too much, but said, "Even if I don't have a girlfriend, at my age, I haven't thought about having any children."
Maya smiled and said, "You don't think that being pregnant is an easy thing, do you? And please don't worry, I won't let Miss Lijia know about this. I understand that your goal is to challenge the major leagues. I have no intention of staying here, so after the child is born, I will raise her alone and will not cause you any trouble."
"Hi" Xia You sighed, "You are wrong. It’s not a matter of knowing or not”
When Maya saw Xia You’s reluctance, she thought it was because he and Li Jia had a deep relationship and didn’t want to betray Li Jia.
“You don’t need to think about this matter too complicated.” Maya explained, “This will not bring you any loss. On the contrary, after having this child, the Temple of the Sea will be forever in the future. I will be your support, and I won’t pester you. I just want to use your power to continue my bloodline.”
Seeing Maya’s resolute attitude, Xia You really didn’t understand “Why me.” ”
Maya shook her head, “Indeed, every three years a sea hero will be produced. Logically speaking, I do have many candidates, but you are different. You can win the Quartz Conference championship to prove your strength.” Bufan, you can save the God of the Sea without taking the opportunity to conquer them, which proves that you are not a mercenary person. What's more, you saved me once, which makes me very touched. Of course, the main reason is that I like you and don't want to I miss you in this life”
Maya’s affectionate confession, to be honest, really moved Xia You.
He didn’t know how he felt now, but his reason told him that he had to refuse and he must not be sorry to Nazi.
But the next second, he suddenly thought of Li Jia.
Although nothing happened during the time I spent with Li Jia, both of them knew in their hearts that they had faintly exceeded the boundaries of friends
The two sang and harmonized, and they had a perfect tacit understanding. , the concept has always been consistent, and they can talk very well, which has made them soul mates
Seeing that he was silent, Maya boldly stepped forward and held his hand directly.
