It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 644 Senkamanda's "White Priestess"

The next morning, Jenna went into the room to wake the two of them, only to find them still asleep.

Considering they had come from afar and had traveled all day yesterday, I didn't think of waking them up. Instead, I noticed the old clothes basket by the door.

I'll take these and wash them for you.

Arriving at the riverbank, just to avoid any problems, she decided to help them wash themselves in a human way, but she froze when she picked up a pair of pajama bottoms.

"Huh? What's on this?"

She subconsciously rubbed it between her fingers, then brought it closer and smelled it. It still felt a little sticky, as if it wasn't completely dry.

It tastes really strange.

Then she noticed that there were several other similar marks, but she didn't think much of it and started washing them one by one by hand along the riverbank.

……

On the carriage.

After resuming their journey to the Sanctuary, Mena kept a close eye on Jena the entire time—she had actually stolen her spoils.

The original intention was to take it back and make it into a specimen.

Luo Wei: "..."

He didn't even know where to begin his rant.

Faced with the astrologer's gaze, his expression was rather indifferent. After all, the "Ah, it's out!" reaction last night was really hard to bear. What kind of magical tool was that, with such a wonderful and mysterious structure, that made her have such a feeling?

Seeing his expression, Mena got up and tried to come over, but instead, she knelt down on both knees in the carriage and gave him a big bow.

No, no, no, there's absolutely no need for that...

Last night's service was one thing, but you did all the lowly things for me.

"Ah, I used my legs too much last night and I can barely stand up."

Jenna: "...?"

The ice elf glanced back at the two of them, but didn't think much of it and continued driving the carriage.

Lowe helped Mena up and sat her down next to him, and the girl immediately asked, "How was my performance last night? I don't think I disappointed you as much as the others, right?"

Others...?
Jenna almost dropped the reins.

"Actually, I don't know if it's right or wrong. It just popped into my head in a flash. You think it's pretty good, right?"

Listening to the conversation between the two people behind her, the high-level ice elf was really curious about their relationship, after all, it was not easy to have human guests who had come from afar.

She slowly turned her head, trying to understand human motives, and said, "Although it may be presumptuous of me to ask this... I really want to know, is the relationship between you two purely physical, devoid of emotion, like that among humans?"

"No, he likes me a lot, but I don't like him that much yet."

"...???"

The ice sprite was momentarily confused.

She suddenly felt that giving up on understanding the human world was actually a good thing.

The carriage traveled deeper into the forest paths of the sea of ​​trees, arriving at the teleportation station before evening. After several teleportations, the three appeared before the temple of the World Tree Sanctuary.

"This is really... such a big tree."

Mena looked up at the ancient, dark-colored tree trunk that almost filled her entire field of vision and said, "Looking up, you can't see the end of it."

They were standing in front of a vast and magnificent white temple. The hundreds of meters wide steps made it seem as if they had entered a world of giants, stretching upwards and seemingly endless.

In addition, on both sides of the steps, they finally saw an area similar to a market in the human world. It seems that the area that surrounds the bottom Tree of Life is the central area of ​​Senkamanda. Although the area is so large that the market is scattered and most of the stalls are run by city elves, monsters can still trade elemental materials and daily items to improve themselves here.

"Is this the theocratic kingdom of Senkamanda?"

The ice sprite, Jenna, was already waiting for them on the steps above: "You two are the most important guests of the Senkamanda Divine Kingdom. Please follow me. That lord may already be waiting."

Under the shade of the Great Tree of Life, a theocratic kingdom with monsters and city elves as its subjects exists, which is also a sacred realm of gods untouched by the mortal world.

As you ascend the steps.

The long staircase stretched further than expected, and as one got closer to the center of the World Tree, the facilities on both sides transformed into commercial and administrative offices, as well as important facilities such as the World Tree Guards' quarters.

Just by looking, one can tell how well the local deity has managed this place through divine pronouncements. The entire sanctuary's steps are spotless, without a speck of dust. Elves and monsters are already accustomed to living in harmony. Of course, monsters are different from ordinary animals. What greeted them on the road yesterday was less a pack of wolves and more a group of Garurumon...

Senkamanda is a magical kingdom centered around the World Tree Sanctuary, with countless natural ecosystems and intelligent magical creatures inhabiting its territory.

The reason it was named the Divine State.

It is precisely because all the people regard the White Priestess as their sole symbol of faith and believe in the White Priestess Church that this is a faith kingdom personally ruled by the gods.

As they approached the end of the route, Rowe and Mena saw the Skywing docked in the pristine white plaza, with the Royal Knights and the Craftsmen's Guild busily working at the bottom of the warship.

"Hey! Lo Wei, why are you taking so long to arrive?!" From the outside of the warship, the two heard Fimi's voice directly. The knights and others bowed to them upon hearing the voice, indicating that the warship was ready to depart at any time.

Rowe nodded and continued following Jenna uphill.

"Damn it...! You're ignoring me! You ungrateful bastard, you've forgotten me now that you have Philica! —"

It seems we can't give this guy too high performance.

Was she planning to make him shout like an idiot in public, trying to communicate with her even though she didn't have a physical form? Luo Wei shook his head; she was actually starting to badmouth him in a place like this.

Jenna was also caught off guard by the sudden sound.

But after spending these two days together, she's started to find nothing about humans surprising anymore...

At the entrance to the Sanctuary Temple, Lovi and Mena entered the temple under the watchful eyes of the city elves guarding the World Tree. There was still a long way to go inside. They walked for a while along the temple grounds before arriving at the area of ​​the Holy Throne Hall. The spacious corridors and halls were as magnificent and towering as a church, with enough space above the ground to almost fit the tallest bell tower in White Harbor.

Here, they finally arrived at a magnificent, pristine white gate. The elves guarding the gate, in terms of both equipment and decoration, displayed more elements of clergy, and were of the highest rank.

“That sir might be inside,” Jenna said, stopping at the doorway. “I can only accompany you this far; I have no right to enter beyond that. I hope I can guide you again next time.”

"My name is Mena, I'm Luo Wei's wife..." Mena muttered to herself.

"?"

“Thank you for bringing us here,” Rowe said to Jenna. “Let’s fight side by side again next time.”

"……well!"

After bowing to him, Jenna smiled and left.

Lovi tapped the madman on the head, and under the watchful eyes of the city's elven guards, raised his gaze to the gradually opening gates of the Holy Throne before him—it was time to meet this local god.

He led Mena inside without any hesitation.

White light filtering through the trees cast shadows onto the empty marble floor, filling the entire space. A red carpet covered the desolate hall, and at the end of the pristine white sanctuary was a staircase that rose upwards and extended to both sides. Everywhere one looked, there was a sense of holiness and solemnity, and in the center of the staircase was the seat of God.

The two stood still.

The empty hall was deserted, and the two of them stood there quietly and patiently, like mortals awaiting divine guidance.

At this moment, the light in the air gradually began to brighten.

As the light shone, visibility gradually decreased, and the air was enveloped in white light until the entire hall was covered by this pure white light, making it difficult to open one's eyes. Then, a clear, cool voice, like a spring, rang out from the heart, slowly and lingering throughout the hall.

"You've finally come to see me, Loewy Brook—"

The voice said.

Mena raised her head, and as the echo gradually faded, no figure appeared on the throne that belonged to the gods, and the air slowly returned to silence in the lingering aftertaste.

The two stood there in silence for nearly ten seconds.

Nothing happened.

Neither of them spoke until the voice rang in their ears again—

Come in—

As the noise started, the doors at the ends of the steps on either side of the throne opened simultaneously, and a gentle, white breeze blew through the hall, echoing along with the sound as if inviting them inside.

The two who had been standing still then took a step forward.

Luo Wei glanced at Mena beside him and couldn't help but smile. A madman wouldn't complain in a place like this, but if it were Saya, she probably would have been annoyed on the spot that a mere local god dared to act like a god in front of her.

But in fact--

Outside of Senkamanda, people have serious doubts about the existence of the "White Witch of Gods." Even the vast majority of Senkamanda's inhabitants have never seen this third-level deity.

She rarely appears in public, only issuing divine pronouncements, leaving the rule and management of the theocratic kingdom to the leaders of the city elves and monsters. Over the centuries, third-level gods like Marcus have emerged and declined, and many have left the stage, but only the theocratic kingdom established by the White Witch has stood firm, always rooted at the foot of the World Tree.

have to say.

She is very intelligent and knows how to use her strengths. Lovi hopes that Arttana can learn more from her in this regard.

The reason she was willing to meet him was because the letter he had sent back in Wuguan City had already accurately confirmed her existence.

And the secrets she holds.

Ascending the steps deeper, one arrives at an open-air altar, complete with rows of divine stone pillars and a circular altar bathed in light and shadow.

The two finally met this third-level god here—in front of the trunk of the Tree of Life.

“I hope my cryptic remarks haven’t offended you—Love Brooke,” she said, turning back to him.

Local deity, Senkamanda Theocracy, third-level deity "Goddess White".

He is also the third-level god that Luo Wei believes is most likely to receive an invitation from the current gods on the Second Continent.
