Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1745 - 1179: "God" Vanished_2

Just like an old loyal dog, seeking a place others cannot find and quietly passing away, Mia also didn’t want anyone to see her dying, so she silently disappeared from this world.

Perhaps, she felt that one day Liz might really come to the Hidden Land, see her grave, and didn’t want Liz to dwell on it, so she chose to leave quietly?

"Sigh..."

Reiger sighed and patted Liz’s shoulder.

At least, there is one thing that is worth Liz being happy about.

"Don’t forget." Reiger said softly to Liz: "Yuloli, she’s right here with us now."

Upon hearing this, Liz was first stunned, then her eyes immediately lit up.

That’s right, she is not entirely without any relatives in this world.

If she really is the sister of the former king, the sister of Yuloli’s father, then without a doubt, she is Yuloli’s aunt.

Although, this aunt looks younger than her niece...

But that’s just a minor issue!

Just knowing she still has family alive makes the young princess very happy.

"I—I’ll go talk to Miss Yuloli!"

The young princess could not hold back and after a quick greeting, she hurriedly turned around and left.

Reiger could hear, after leaving the room, Liz seemed to be speaking softly with Yuloli outside, but unfortunately, Yuloli still remained silent.

Reiger did not stop Liz, nor did the High Priest.

The two just watched Liz leave, neither speaking nor departing.

Until a moment later...

"Alright." The High Priest suddenly said: "It seems you have some things you want to ask me, can you ask now?"

It appears the High Priest is indeed very perceptive.

She noticed that not only Liz wanted to seek verification from her, but Reiger as well.

She was not like others, who treated Reiger differently because of the special relationship between him and Liz.

Reiger even felt that this High Priest seemed quite interested in him, even more so than the noble royal Liz.

"You are quite straightforward." Reiger looked unexpectedly at the High Priest and said: "I thought that entering this topic might be met with some difficulty."

"It’s unnecessary." The High Priest shook her head, indeed very straightforwardly said to Reiger: "Although I very much hope not to see the princess being bound by such an attendant contract, the noble royal lineage of a great heroic descendant should not be treated this way, but since the princess herself pleasantly accepts it, how do we outsiders have any right to comment?"

"I only need to confirm that the princess is not forced and has not received unfair treatment, that’s enough."

"As for others..."

The High Priest smiled and said to Reiger.

"You must understand them, after all, they, like me, grew up listening to the stories of Reinnaier."

Just as the High Priest said, the heroic descendants should not be treated like this.

They are not only noble by blood, but also humanity’s original leaders, the great pioneers who led humanity across the entire Akasa continent, allowing mankind to escape the identity of food and prey and bringing about salvation.

Even the descendants of warriors defending the country should receive preferential treatment, much less should descendants like Liz, who have led and saved humanity for generations, almost deserve to be called the heroes saviors of humanity.

The people outside have long been disconnected from ancient history, no longer remember Reinnaier, and are unclear on who enabled humanity’s progress till now.

But the people within the Hidden Land will not forget.

After all, the people here are the true inheritors of ancient magic civilization.

The High Priest is also telling Reiger in this way, reactions like those of Ivy and Leo are quite common in the Hidden Land.

She hopes Reiger won’t bear any grudges because of this, understanding them would be the best.

"I’m not that petty."

Reiger calmly responded.

He truly holds no grudge, otherwise Ivy and Leo wouldn’t have the treatment they have now, able to accompany him back to their homeland.

As for others in the Hidden Land, as long as they don’t provoke him, Reiger is naturally inclined to ignore them.

"That’s for the best." The High Priest smiled and said: "To be honest, I find it quite novel."

"That legendary, great, noble descendant of Reinnaier would trust a man of ordinary origins like this, which truly sparks curiosity."

"Don’t be misled by the princess’s demeanor to think she’s easy to get along with; if it’s before her lineage awakens, that’s fine, but once the bloodline truly awakens, the nobility of Reinnaier will begin to truly manifest."

"They might be amiable, very fond of their people, but their noble lineage ensures they won’t be attracted by common folk."

"At least, I haven’t heard of any royal companions throughout the ages being mere ordinary people."

With what the High Priest said, Reiger suddenly feels the young princess’s circle of friends is indeed too narrow.

Although there are factors influenced by past experiences, thinking carefully, besides a limited few people, the young princess rarely actively connects with others.

Even with Yuri, Liz hasn’t really let her guard down and got along well with anyone; she’s mostly attached to him.

Even Marilyn, nominally her sister, is rarely sought out by Liz; usually, it’s Marilyn who quietly cares for her, and Liz only feels gratitude.

This may also be due to Liz’s own meek personality.

Yet similarly, the issue the High Priest mentioned might also exist.

Even among his attendants, Liz rarely associates with Lilith, instead always glued to the unspeaking Yuloli.

That was the first time Reiger saw Liz attach herself to someone other than himself.

Aside from himself, Liz seems to only enjoy being with Yuloli.

"I can somewhat sense that you seem capable of bringing great threat to me."

With this, the High Priest’s tone became more intrigued.

"This feeling is quite unusual; even before I became a High Priest, I never felt this from anyone else."

"The former High Priest was similarly strong like a monster, but if it’s me now, I am confident I wouldn’t lose."

"Only with you, no matter how I observe or think of making a move against you, a sense of crisis immediately arises in my heart."

The High Priest spoke in light-hearted tones about matters of substantial significance.

"Turns out you actually considered making a move on me..."

Reiger was speechless.

"This isn’t about difficulty, just a test!" The High Priest effortlessly shifted the topic, asking: "So, what do you want to ask me?"

Reiger remained silent for a moment, then looked at the High Priest.

"I want to ask you something." Reiger stared directly at the High Priest and said: "You’ve mentioned many times that your ’God’ is enshrined in the temple, right?"

"Where is ’God’ now?"

"After the ancient magic civilization perished, even Reinnaier’s deeds left some records, but the tales of ’God’ completely ceased thereafter."

"Why is that?"

Reiger’s question wiped the persistent smile off the High Priest’s face.

She gazed at Reiger, met his eyes in a silent stand-off.

After a long while, the High Priest spoke.

"Because our ’God’... disappeared."
