Chapter 484 This is not a multiple choice question
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, and 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 was, he believed that Maya would 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 let alone himself, even Maya was unaware of such strange changes.
Sometimes he even thinks about it, this has nothing to do with his identity as a time traveler, right?
After all, apart from this, he really couldn't think of anything different between himself and others.
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!
Um! ?
Aren't you talking about inheritance rituals?How did you get here?
Should it be held in her room?
Or are there any props that I need to pick up first?
With such doubts, 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.
Once here, Xia You couldn't help but feel curious, looked at Maya and asked: "Miss Maya, what exactly is the inheritance ceremony you are talking about?"
Maya walked to the balcony, glanced at the moon, and then turned to face Xia You. She 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 it has always been held by women, which is both tradition and an unchangeable rule.”
Xia You nodded. Before this, he had heard Xiu Yi mention it when he was riding a speedboat. It seemed that the position of high priest had always been held by women from ancient times to the present.
But that's fine, why do I mention this?
Maya continued: "Compared to men, women are less likely to be confused by money, status, beauty and other things. They will be more neutral and will not have obvious political leanings. Therefore, they do have a lot of influence on the development of the temple. Great help will not let us go astray, and we have always enjoyed a transcendent status in the Whirlpool Islands, but there is one thing that has been bothering us since ancient times."
Xia You chuckled: "You are so rich and powerful, how can you still feel troubled by something?"
Maya took a deep look at Xia You: "It's a matter of inheritance!"….
inherited……
Xia You suppressed her smile and said nothing, but patiently waited for her next words.
"It's embarrassing to say..." Maya sighed, "During the first 200 years when the Sea Temple was established, the position of high priest has always been filled by capable people. After a suitable successor appears, it will be passed on. The position was given to them, but hundreds of years ago, out of 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 has continued. To this day.”
Xia You also remembered at this time that Maya had indeed mentioned that she took over the priesthood from her mother.
It seems that just as she said, 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 covered with a layer of silver sand.She said firmly: "As a member of the family, I will definitely need to give birth to my own children in the future to continue passing on the bloodline and the position of great priest."
This was said very straightforwardly, and Xia You vaguely realized something.
"so……"
Maya took a few steps towards Xia You and said solemnly: "So, the combination of the brave man of the sea and the great priest has been a common thing since ancient times. In fact, in my family, there are many people in my ancestors who were sea warriors." The brave men, and the bloodline born with them 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 would be like this!
But having said that, no wonder Maya is not only beautiful, but also has such a noble temperament. It turns out that it is the result of generations of genetic improvements!
Maya said: "Since you have agreed to the inheritance ceremony before, then we will also..."
"Sorry..." Before Maya could finish her words, Xia You quickly shook her head with a wry smile, "I didn't know what the inheritance ceremony meant in advance, so I agreed rashly, and I have a girlfriend, so this matter... Please forgive me for refusing.”
Maya didn't seem surprised by Xia You's rejection.
"Your girlfriend should be the lady named Li Jia, right?"
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 he said they were not, the two of them were inseparable in the eyes of outsiders, would it make them uncomfortable? What kind of scumbag does Maya think she is?
Moreover, from beginning to end, he and Nazi had never made it clear what kind of relationship they had. Maybe it was just his wishful thinking that Nazi was his girlfriend.
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 a simple matter, 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. , have no intention of staying here, so after the child is born, I will raise her alone and will not cause you any trouble!"
"Hey..." Xia You sighed, "You are wrong. This is not a matter of knowing or not at all..."...
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 always be your backing in the future, and I won’t pester you, I just want to use your power to continue my bloodline.”
Seeing Maya's firm attitude, Xia You really didn't understand: "Why me?"
Maya shook her head: "Indeed, every three years, a Hero of the Sea will be born. Logically speaking, I do have many candidates, but you are different. You can win the Quartz Conference championship, which proves that you are extraordinary. You can save the Hero of the Sea." God did not take the opportunity to subdue 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 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 for Nazi.
But the next second, he suddenly thought of Li Jia.
Although nothing happened during their time together with Li Jia, both of them knew in their hearts that they had faintly exceeded the boundaries of friends...
The two of them sing together, have a perfect tacit understanding, have consistent views, and can talk easily, which has made them soul mates!
Seeing that he was silent, Maya boldly stepped forward and held his hand directly.
"My brave man, the one I love, this is my last request, please don't refuse me!"
