"Slurp...ah, the weather is nice today."

"Yes, yes, it's the best time to drink tea in front of the altar, slurp..."

"Woo~ The wind feels so comfortable~ Slurp~"

"The best thing to do in this weather is to sleep... Sister Daniela, I want to rest my head on your thighs~"

"Ugh...why is it always my thighs?"

"Hehe, because sister Daniela, your thighs are the softest and most comfortable~"

On the flat ground inside the Banshee Temple, more than a dozen banshees sat cross-legged on the ground, drinking tea and enjoying the breeze, looking quite relaxed and chatting idly.

Although they are all banshees, the racial characteristics they display are different.

Some are harpy banshees whose arms turn into wings and feathers grow on their bodies. The latter are snake-bodied banshees with slender snake tails similar to the Cassia priests. There are also female succubi who have no animal features but show obvious succubus features, and so on...

After all, the definition of a banshee is not based on the sexual characteristics they display, but on their qualifications, so although they are all banshees, their racial characteristics vary greatly.

However, no matter how different they are, there is one thing in common, that is, all banshees have a pair of eyes that glow with the dark blue of the night, which look deep and beautiful.

At this moment, the banshees sitting in the temple all half-closed their eyes, revealing a uniform half-dead emotional stability. They looked like a group of capybaras that didn't care about anything.

This is the daily life of the banshees, plain, leisurely, and even a little boring.

This is not to say that all banshees have always been like this, but as believers of the goddess of stars and mystery, almost all of their serious work, including sacrifices, chanting, reading scriptures, etc., are carried out at night.

They have almost nothing to do during the day.

Of course, they can also use their free time to study more classics. However, most of the banshees have already mastered the classics in the temple and can recite them by heart, so what else can they study?

However, because all the members are clergymen, the banshees are not productive, so the banshees can only spend their days doing nothing.

So we have the scene like this.

However, this situation of having nothing to do was soon broken...

"Alright! Sisters, stop daydreaming about this! Something big has happened!"

An obviously younger and still somewhat immature harpy girl flapped her wings, hurriedly flew up to a group of banshees, and started shouting.

This harpy girl is the youngest harpy today, and the youngest of all the harpy girls, Sophie.

And perhaps because the youngest sister was obviously too young, the other sisters didn't take her calls seriously. They still maintained their half-dead stability and responded calmly.

"Wu...Sophie, what can it be? We are banshees, nothing can scare us..."

"Calm down, Sophie, calm down. Although you are still young, you must remember that you are a banshee. There is nothing worth being surprised about."

"Khan, I have experienced six northern expeditions and three deaths of the Demon King. In the entire Demon King's City, is there anything more serious than this? There is no need to make a fuss, my little sister~"

"Sophie, let me tell you this, for us banshees, there are only two things that are worthy of being called big events. The first is the birth of a new banshee. The second is the appearance of the goddess Itana. Other than that, everything else is nothing but clouds~"

One by one, the banshees showed the attitude of experienced people and taught Sophie earnestly, which made Sophie, who was a little anxious just now, stunned.

She nodded innocently and muttered, "Oh...Okay, sisters, I'll know next time..."

"Well~ What a good sister~ Okay, Sophie, tell me, what unimportant thing happened? Anyway, we are free, so it's good to listen to it for fun~"

After receiving the sisters' advice, Sophie's expression and tone became much calmer. She said calmly, "It's like this, sisters. Priest Gasia brought a man and the Demon King to the altar and attacked the group at night. Let me call you to come over together."

"Oh, I see, I see. I'll go there later... eh!???"

"Oh, what a hassle, can't we wait until tonight... huh!?"

"Gassia is too close to that demon king, and she even brought a man with her... What the hell!?"

After hearing Sophie's announcement, the banshees wanted to say, "That's it?" However, after they carefully digested the information, they suddenly realized... something really big had happened!

"A man!???" xN.

As the residence of the Banshee tribe, which is an all-female race, the Banshee Temple clearly stipulates that no male demons are allowed to enter! If you want to enter, you must obtain permission from the Banshee priest.

And so far, over the thousands of years, all the banshees have never seen any male get this privilege.

In other words, this is the first time in thousands of years that a man has set foot in the Banshee Temple!

This is a huge event for the banshees!

……

"Sir Ains... don't be nervous. These sisters of mine are seeing men for the first time at the Banshee Altar, so they may be a little excited. Please forgive me~"

Cassia comforted Ains with an awkward look, and turned her head to point at the group of sisters of the same race behind her, biting her lip, not knowing what to say for a moment.

If Cassia had not been blindfolded, she would have been willing to let her group of sisters experience what it means that looks can kill!

Who could have thought that just after he brought Ains to the banshee altar, he would see his sisters all rushing in, looking at Ains like a cockroach breaking into the house.

If Margaret had not been there with her to calm the situation, Cassia would have no doubt that her sisters would have directly carried Ains and thrown him out of the Banshee Temple.

Can Cassia tolerate this?

Using his blind eyes to feel the whispers and commotion of the banshees under the altar, Cassia raised the scepter in his hand and pointed it at the floor.

At the clear sound like a bell that resounded throughout the altar, the banshees who were whispering below the stage were startled, and then closed their mouths with a hint of fear.

It was quiet now, but Cassia could still feel the contempt of these banshee sisters towards Ains.

Although this attitude made her very unhappy, when she recalled that she also did not take Ains very seriously in the past, she could understand the sisters' thoughts.

However, understanding is understanding, the Banshees must not disrespect Ains, who holds the secrets of the stars! These sisters must understand that the one standing before them is a great being who can save the Banshees!

"Sisters! Be quiet! I know you are all surprised that I brought a man to the Banshee Altar, but don't play around. With the permission of the priest, men can enter the Banshee Temple!

You are all powerful banshees, don't make such a fuss and overreact to this kind of thing! Just calm down!

I know you are wondering why I brought Lord Irons into the Banshee Altar, and I will tell you now.

The man standing before you is Queen Margaret's husband, the shadow prime minister of the Doron Empire on the human continent, the benefactor who saved the former priestess Claudia from madness, a knowledgeable wise man who knows the secrets of the stars, and a great man who can break through the false sky for our banshee clan!

Sir Irons!"

Chapter 83 The Secret of the Stars

Garcia's introduction of Ains caused a stir among the group of banshees.

However, what shocked them was not how important Ains' identity was.

What actually shocked them more was the news that Claudia had regained consciousness.

"Is Claudia awake?"

"Oh my god, I haven't heard from her in decades..."

"I don't know where she is now, but it's great that she can regain consciousness..."

"Is this news true or not?"

"Since Garcia said so, it must be true. There is no need for Garcia to lie to us."

“Doesn’t that mean that Claudia was really saved by this male human? Ugh… I don’t think he’s that strong, maybe only level 6 or 7…”

"Gassia said he was knowledgeable and knew the secrets of the stars... I have reservations about that..."

"I don't really believe it either. I even suspect that he would say that the stars are unchanging from eternity... All those human stargazers believe in this."

"We, the Banshee clan, have been researching for thousands of years but have not been able to break through the sky curtain and find out the truth about the stars... This man who jumped out from nowhere, and he's a human, what can he know?"

Although the whispering of these banshees was not loud, as they were all extraordinary beings, the whispering was basically meaningless and could be heard by everyone.

So rather than whispering, it would be more accurate to say that the banshees were collectively expressing their doubts about Irons.

This made Cassia frown again, and she wanted to scold her sisters.

However, just as Garcia was about to speak, Irons stepped forward and blocked Garcia's way.

He patted Garcia's lower back, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Priest Garcia, it is normal for you sisters to question me, and I can understand it. I am not petty enough to get angry about such things.

So please rest assured, I will definitely help you with what you ask of me. Moreover, this time I am here to give a lecture to the Banshee tribe, not to serve as a priest of Cassia to reprimand your tribe members.

As a person who teaches knowledge, it is also my duty to dispel the doubts of those who seek knowledge. So, Priest Garcia, can you give the stage to me? "

Hearing Ains' voice that inexplicably made people feel trustful, Cassia paused her open mouth, then she chose to close her lips, nodded respectfully, stepped back, and handed the altar to Ains.

Watching Cassia retreat, Irons smiled slightly, then turned his head and looked at Margaret who was retreating behind.

Margaret nodded to Irons, showing her trust and encouragement. Irons also nodded in response, accepting the encouragement from Margaret.

Then, he took a deep breath, organized his words, and walked up to dozens of banshees.

He felt the fluctuations of magic power emanating from the bodies of the group of banshees in front of him, and felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart.

Tsk tsk tsk, the weakest and youngest one among them is the harpy girl who looks like a child. Even she is at the sixth level and not much weaker than herself in class.

As for the others, they were all seventh and eighth order fluctuations! There were even two Ains who were completely unable to sense their depth. Although the oppression they brought was not as strong as that of Cassia and Margaret, it was not far behind. It was possible that they might be ninth order!

They are truly the strongest race in the Demon Realm. It's really shameful.

However, after expressing his feelings for a while, Irons calmed down. After all, he didn't have any other advantages except that he was broad-minded.

Facing the gazes of such a group of banshees, he took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mentality, and then quickly stepped forward and began to narrate: "Dear banshees, I know that as an unknown human, you don't believe me.

This is normal. To be honest, sometimes I don’t believe in myself. Believing in others and believing in yourself is a very test of one’s character. However, it is very easy to believe in the objective truth.

Of course, the premise is that it is not wrong. I have learned a little about the situation of the banshees from Margaret and Garcia. You believe in the stars. In this respect, you are similar to the stargazers in the human world..."

As soon as Irons said this, the banshees immediately responded with anger.

"We are not similar to them! They are just a group of slaves deceived by the Trinity God!"

"We are not those fools who believe in that false sky! Stop talking nonsense here!"

Faced with the banshees' rebuttal, Irons was not annoyed. He just let them vent and then waved his hand to quiet down the banshees.

"Everyone, have you calmed down? Haha, I'm just making an analogy. I know that you banshees and the stargazing mages have different opinions. But at least in studying the starry sky, your goals are similar.

The astronomical wizard school has a very classic theory, that is, the stars in the sky were created by the Trinity God, and the stars are the source of his magic that embellishes the sky.

And I believe that all of you banshees should know that this is wrong! This is a complete fallacy! The stars were definitely not created by the Trinity God. They have always existed there, and have continued to twinkle for hundreds of millions of years.

It is much older than the entire continent, and may even be much older than the Trinity God! Even the ground we stand on is part of the boundless starry sky!"

If it was Irons' words that made the banshees feel unhappy at first, and they felt that the guy in front of them was just a name for nothing, the banshees looked at them with contempt.

But from here on, the banshees' expressions gradually became serious, especially when they heard the words "the earth we stand on is also part of the stars", a group of banshees showed surprise and confusion.

Is this...really true? It seems...the scriptures in the temple never mentioned this...

Along with the doubt came curiosity. The banshees were now very curious about what kind of shocking things this human man could say.

Seeing that the banshees seemed to be curious, Irons smiled slightly and completely relaxed. He raised his hand and used magic power to construct a model similar to the solar system.

Although Irons does not know whether the galaxy in this alien world is exactly the same as the solar system, its day length is similar to that of the Earth in his previous life, which is about 25 hours.

Similar calendar, a year of 343 days, four seasons, similar atmospheric temperature, and only one satellite. With so many similar conditions, Irons felt that there should be no problem using the solar system as an analogy.

“Before we can solve the secrets of the stars, we must first return to the earth where we are. As I said just now, the earth we stand on is also part of the stars.

Therefore, if we want to understand the wider universe of stars, we must first understand our own planet.

The model in my hand is my guess about the structure of our galaxy. It contains some exaggerations and errors, because I want to make it more intuitive for you to understand, so that you can see it more simply and clearly. "

As he spoke, Irons threw the solar system constructed with magic power in his hand over the heads of the banshees and enlarged it so that everyone could see it more clearly.

The female demons looked at everything in front of them with surprise and curiosity. At this moment, they began to touch the realm that they had longed for but could only watch from afar...

Irons walked down the altar and came to the side of a group of banshees. This time, no banshee spoke nonsense to Irons. They all stepped back, leaving space for Irons to speak.

He pointed to the galaxy model above his head and said, "Everyone, look at this model. You are very familiar with the red sphere in the center. It is the sun that rises in the east and sets in the west every day, the center of the entire galaxy.

You can think of it as a huge fireball that burns forever, continuously providing light and heat to the surrounding planets.

Its size and mass are extremely huge. Don’t think that the sun looks small when we stand on the ground and observe it.

However, in fact, its volume is a million times larger than the earth we live on. Compared with it, our planet is no more than an ant in our eyes.

I call planets like this, which have huge size and mass and continue to emit light and heat, stars. The stars that we see twinkling in the sky at night are the same stars as the sun..."

"Then...what about those planets orbiting the sun?" Just as Irons was performing his one-man show, the youngest harpy, Sophie, couldn't help but raise her hand and asked curiously.

Sophie's words interrupted Ains's rhythm and attracted strange looks from other banshees. Sophie immediately panicked and shrank her head, timidly taking her hand back.

Irons was slightly stunned. He was a little surprised that someone would interact with him. However, it was a good thing to get interaction from students in class. He wanted it more than ever.
