Above the endless sea, there is a clear sky. The bright sun shines on the sea surface, scattering golden brilliance on the sparkling water waves.

The gentle beating of the waves, the brisk chirping of the creatures in the ocean, and the occasional distant and ancient chant, all merged together to form the sound of the sea.

The huge holy beast slowly swam the boy from the depths of the bay to the shore.

On the sea not far from the coast, a golden boat was floating on the sea.

As if knowing that his huge body could not get close to the shore, the holy beast swam straight to the small boat.

The remaining black-haired priest on the boat had already knelt down on the board in fear. When he saw the holy beast approaching, he lowered his head in shock and pressed his forehead to the floor. His whole body was stiff and he did not dare to move. move.

The same was true for the other oarsmen on the boat, all of them threw themselves on the ground, lying on the floor and not daring to speak out.

Only Sardis was still standing tall and straight at the bow of the ship. When everyone was shocked by the huge holy beast, he didn't pay attention to the holy beast at all.

His gaze was always on the young man standing on the back of the giant beast, and the young man's figure was reflected in his pupils.

When the holy beast swam up to the boat, it stopped quietly.

Understanding what it meant, Mia knelt down on one knee and touched the back of the huge blue whale under her feet with her hand.

He said, "Thank you."

The big whale seemed to understand Mia's words, and let out a long and distant moan, as if answering the boy.

Mia stood up and walked forward. When the sea water was up to his thighs, he walked to the golden boat.

A hand reaches out.

He looked up, smiled at Sardis who was reaching out to him on the boat, and grabbed his hand.

With a sudden force, Sardis pulled Mia into the boat.

The giant beast under the boat swam again.

This time, its huge body turned around and slowly swam out of the bay.

After a long distance, you can faintly see the huge water column it sprays from the sea.

The chubby killer whale swam around the golden boat for a while, whistling, as if saying goodbye to Mia, and then swam their tails to the depths of the sea.

"啾~~"

The familiar chirping sound came, and the big dolphin emerged from the side of the boat, staring at Mia with bright black eyes.

Mia leaned over and patted its head.

He asked worriedly, "Shalier, are your injuries okay?"

In order to protect him just now, Shalier was bitten by a shark with several scars.

"啾啾~~"

As if to show Mia that he was fine, Shalier jumped into the air, and big waves splashed on the sea.

After jumping a bit, it swam around the boat, returned to Mia, arched Mia's hand with its long snout, and then turned its head towards Sardis next to Mia. ' with a sound.

Compared with the coquettish chirp to Mia, its chirping sounded super fierce, as if it was warning Sardis.

The murdered Sardis was stunned for a moment, but Mia couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It's okay, Shalier, he won't bully me."

He said to Shalier with a smile.

"Go back and have a good rest, I'll come back to play with you after a while."

The big dolphin chirped, turned its head, and led its companions to swim towards the vast and boundless sea facing the sun.

Mia watched it go, then turned around and looked at the people on the boat who were still lying on their stomachs.

"You can get up now."

The people who expressed their piety to the sea god with their foreheads pressed against the bottom of the ship raised their heads cautiously when Mia spoke, and secretly glanced at the sea.

After confirming that both the holy beast of the sea god and the envoys had really left, they let out a long breath and relaxed.

Although being able to witness the miracle with their own eyes made them feel excited and even trembled with excitement, the powerful deterrent power of the holy beast also gave them a great sense of oppression and made them terrified.

The black-haired priest stood up, his hands still trembling slightly, half frightened, half excited.

To be so close to the holy beast, he has no regrets in his life!

He shouted so excitedly from the bottom of his heart.

And the young priest in front of you who can ride on the back of a holy beast...

This young master who is obviously deeply loved by Sepul...

The black-haired priest looked up and saw that His Excellency Shaoji's feet were still bleeding and looked in pain, so he hurried forward and stretched out his hand courteously, trying to hold His Excellency Shaoji's arm.

But before his outstretched hand could touch His Excellency the young priest, Prince Sardis, who was standing next to the young priest, glanced at him.

There was a sudden chill on his back.

Suddenly, the prince's cold eyes when he stood on the bow of the boat and looked down at a living person whose flesh and blood were devoured by sharks suddenly appeared in his mind, and his whole body froze immediately, and the outstretched hand froze in the air.

Mia didn't notice this, he just took a step, and the tingling sensation from his ankle made him stop slightly.

hiss.

The sound of fabric tearing sounded.

Sardis tore off the corner of his clothes, bent down, knelt down in front of Mia, and tightly bound his bleeding ankle.

After bandaging, Sardis stood up and suddenly stretched out his hands. Before Mia could react, his body lightened, and his whole body was embraced horizontally by those strong arms.

Mia was taken aback for a moment, feeling that this posture of being held horizontally was really unattractive, so she quickly raised her head to look at Sardis.

"Put me down..."

Before Mia could finish speaking, Sardis lowered his head, and the wet golden hair rested on his forehead.

Sardis, who picked him up, lowered his head against his head and closed his eyes.

"Stay still, Mia."

Sardis's voice was very low, as if it was vibrating from the deepest part of his chest.

"Just for a moment, just like this for a while, don't move... okay?"

There was an imperceptible tremor hidden in that seemingly steady voice, and the last two words even hinted at a hint of prayer.

That voice made Mia unable to struggle.

He hesitated for a moment, said nothing, and looked up at the face in front of him.

The handsome face with a black metal mask on one side was very close to his eyes, and he could even see the tiny drops of water on the end of Sardis's drooping eyelashes.

When the wind passed by, the eyelashes trembled slightly.

Mia's eyes fell on Sardis's left cheek, and he raised his hand to touch the bruise on his left cheek.

"What's wrong with you here?" He asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

Sardis opened his eyes, the different pupils reflected the same person deeply.

The corners of his lips curled up a little.

He said, "It doesn't hurt when you're here."

Mia was touching the bruise on Sardis's face, thinking who would be so bold and capable of hitting Sardis in the face, it couldn't be King David himself, right?

Hearing what Sardis said suddenly, he couldn't help but complain.

"...It sounds like I'm a salve."

Sardis laughed.

The sunlight fell into the pupils of the boy in his arms, making the edge of his irises refract a faint gleam, making his eyes look extremely bright when looking at Mia.

For me, that's it.

Thinking so in his heart, the smiling Sardis didn't say anything, he just said: "Don't mind, I know you are injured, no one will say anything when I hold you."

Although Sardis was laughing and his voice was very soft, Mia could feel the invisible tough attitude conveyed to him by the other party holding her arm.

Obviously, no matter what I ask, the other party will not let go and put me down.

Sighing in her heart, Mia gave up her fearless struggle.

Seeing the tangled appearance of the man in his arms, Sardis coaxed him in a low voice: "Don't worry, you are wounded, so it's not ashamed."

"Really?"

"real."

Mia and Sardis were whispering over there, and the black-haired priest here was a little confused.

He thought about the cruel appearance of the previous prince, His Royal Highness, who indifferently watched people being torn up and eaten by sharks in front of his eyes.

He looked at Shaoji, who was being coaxed in his arms by His Royal Highness at the moment, with soft eyes and a smile on his mouth.

He thought blankly, how do you look at it, he is not the same person at all before and now!

…………

........................

The golden boat is like a golden leaf on the sea, sliding lightly onto the beach on the coast.

When Sardis came up from the beach with Mia in his arms, everyone had already hurried down from the high altar and came here.

After personally experiencing the storm just now, and witnessing the miraculous scene in the sea, facing this young man favored by Sepul, the eyes of everyone looking at Mia at this moment are completely different from before.

The Shaoji can be replaced and replaced, but the Shaoji with the aura shrouded in such halos as 'Sepul's Beloved Son', 'Son of the Sea', and 'Holy Beast' is absolutely irreplaceable.

Even the high priest Yitit has no right to deny Mia's status as a young priest from now on, let alone allow anyone other than Mia to inherit the position of high priest.

This is the will of the great Sepul.

No one can violate it.

The high-ranking priests who came forward all looked at Mia eagerly. What Sardis said was right, no one thought Mia was so bad at all, and now they just wanted to hug Mia with their own hands.

The young priest in front of him was appointed by the Sea God and even sent a holy beast to escort him ashore!

Sepul must have been watching him!

The older senior priests and chief priests could barely hold on, but those young priests had already looked at Miya with glowing eyes, eyes full of admiration and admiration.

Not only these priests, King David also brought a group of civil servants and generals to the seaside to greet Mia in person.

Although everyone was eager to meet her, they all stopped knowingly after approaching, stood slightly bowed, and just cast a respectful gaze on Mia with their eyes.

Everyone looked at Mia patronizingly, but no one noticed the stiff expression on the face of an elderly priest among the crowd.

Only Sardis, who carefully checked everyone's expression after everyone came up, noticed the abnormal expression of the old priest. His strange pupils flickered slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

He remembered that when the young priest who was bitten to death by the shark had a breakdown, he yelled such vague words as 'tower... chief priest...'.

Just as Sardis was thinking about it, King David had strode forward to meet him.

Mia quickly tugged Sardis hard, Sardis looked down at him, smiled slightly, and finally let him go.

Mia breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at King David.

The king with gray temples looked at Mia's feet, and the cloth strips wrapped around them had been soaked in blood. He raised his head, and his eyes fell on the young man's pale face.

King Davie reached out and patted Mia on the shoulder.

"Son, Sepul gave you a difficult test, and you, with your courage, successfully passed his test."

He said softly, "I'm proud of you..."

"Semple's test?"

Before King Davie finished speaking, a sneer came from the side, interrupting his words.

Sardis looked over with coldness in his eyes.

"No, this is not a test of some kind of god, it's purely caused by villains."

His eyes turned to King Davies, but passed over King Davies, and landed coldly on the crown prince standing behind King Davies and the old general next to him.

He repeated it clearly and clearly: "It's because of the humble villain!"

Crown Prince Pastor lowered his eyes, unable to see the expression in his eyes. He didn't look at Mia, nor did he look at Sardis, and just stood there quietly.

The old general behind him was about to fly into a rage when Sardis stared at him so directly and said "little man", but he seemed to be afraid of something and forcibly endured it.

Sardis sneered, looked away, and looked at King David first.

"The storm is God's wrath, because someone framed his young sacrifice."

He says,

"The priest who fell into the sea just now admitted with his own mouth that he sprinkled the medicine powder that can lure sharks on Miya's body."

Sardis' words surprised everyone.

Thinking about it carefully, this ceremony is indeed very abnormal.

How could the sea god allow the shark to hurt his beloved son?

How can sharks and dolphins appear at the same time?

Moreover, the appearance of those sharks was indeed very abnormal. In the end, they suddenly attacked an insignificant young priest and killed him.

Looking back carefully, the storm came and went suddenly, and when it finally stopped suddenly, it seemed that the priest who fell into the sea was bitten to death by a shark.

...It felt as if the villain who framed Shaoji died, and the Sea God's anger was appeased.

King David was silent and didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Crown Prince Pastor still stood quietly with his eyes downcast.

The old general clenched his fists vigorously, with unwillingness in his eyes and a flash of uneasiness.

While everyone was whispering and whispering, the old priest, whose eyelids kept twitching, took a step back indistinctly, hiding himself behind the crowd.

However, he took a step back when Sardis suddenly raised his finger and pointed at him.

"Before he died, the priest said that it was the chief priest of Takara who ordered him to do this."

"That's slander!"

The old priest roared reflexively.

He looked pissed off, outraged by the trumped-up charge.

But only he himself knew how terrified he was.

Great Sepul...

He actually intended to frame Sepul's favorite...

Sepul has sent divine punishment, and the young priest whom he secretly instigated has been buried in the belly of the shark.

Then...would I also...

Although the bottom of his heart was extremely flustered, he still rebuked with confidence on his face: "Your Highness! You are blatantly slandering me!"

Sardis glanced sideways, followed the black-haired priest who came ashore behind him, took a step forward, and spoke honestly.

"Shana did say it himself, saying that a chief priest told him that the young priest would be rejected by the sea god, and that's why he murdered the young priest."

He and the oarsman on the boat heard it with their own ears.

"He cried and begged Sepul to forgive him for his crimes before he died."

Hearing the loopholes in the words of the black-haired priest, the old chief priest was overjoyed, and asked with a still expression on his face, "Why? Did you hear him say my name with your own ears?"

"Uh... no."

In front of the king, the young priest dared not lie.

"He was in a very bad mood at that time. He just called the chief priest repeatedly without saying his name."

"You heard that, Your Highness Sardis, you obviously didn't name me, but you thought it was me."

Feeling more at ease, the old chief priest looked at Sardis with a serious face and eyes.

"I'm not the only chief priest, but you still think it's me... What are you so worried about?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.

Someone showed a subtle look.

It was almost a well-known fact that the chief priest was friendly with the Dauphin.

The old priest's question could not be described as unkind.

In this way, Sardis could no longer target the old chief priest.

Unless he really wants to be recognized by everyone as having other ideas.

The commander of the Knights of the Spear stepped forward and spoke.

The son of the old general, who inherited his father's talents as a general, asked, "Your Highness, you said that you are the chief priest of Takara, so do you have evidence?"

Sardis glanced at him and said, "No."

These two words made the heart of the old chief priest completely relieved.

His expression remained the same, still the same look of being slandered and full of anger, and even took a few steps towards Sardis aggressively again to show that he had a clear conscience.

"Murdering Shaoji, this is not a trivial matter. If you want to prove that the chief priest of Takara did this, please be sure to show evidence."

"Without evidence, you shouldn't have charged the chief priest with such an unwarranted charge so easily."

The middle-aged general said, he looked at Sardis with sharp gun-like eyes, and his words hinted at something.

Perhaps Sardis has already discovered who is the other mastermind behind the collusion with the chief priest of Takara.

But so what.

No evidence.

As long as there is no conclusive evidence, the prince will take the chief priests of Takara and have nothing to do with them.

Not to mention that the witness is dead, but he is not dead. As long as the chief priest of Takara denies it, he can even beat him up and say that someone framed him, but it will still be useless.

Unless His Majesty opens his mouth and orders his confidants to thoroughly investigate the matter.

But the middle-aged general knew very well that His Majesty would never issue such an order lightly when the crown prince was involved.

Looking at the middle-aged general, Sardis smiled.

The next second, he suddenly took a step forward.

King David's pupils shrank suddenly.

At the moment when everyone had no time to react, the sharp blade came out of its sheath, and with the sound of piercing through the air, a cold light flashed across the air.

The old priest's pupils suddenly dilated.

He stared at Sardis intently, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

His dry lips squirmed, but no more sound came out.

With a puff, blood spurted out from his slit throat, splashing blood all over the sky.

He just stared and fell straight back, slammed heavily on the ground, breathless, the blood flowing from his neck quickly stained the white sand beneath him red.

The black mask on the right eye was spattered with blood, the reddish blond hair was scattered around the corner of the eye, and bright red water droplets flowed down the cold metal mask.

Sardis, who split the neck of the old priest with a sword, slightly raised his thin lips. He was smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold.

"Huh... evidence?"

He said, an understatement.

But there was a cold light in the depths of the strange-colored eyes, which made people palpitate for no reason.

Even the violent storm on the bay just now was far inferior to the horror in his eyes at this moment.

"Who cares about that kind of stuff."
