Chapter 381: What the Esoterica Really Was
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“W... Why?” Gu ngng swallowed a mouthful of porridge and asked in the break.
Lea replied, “Because the previous ssenger of the Beast Deity had said that the real ssenger of the Beast Deity would definitely know the content of the esoterica.”
Lea then looked at Gu ngng attentively, as though he was waiting for her to say what was written in the esoterica.
Gu ngng was dumbfounded, she really did not know whatever the esoterica was. Was it “Jiu Yin Zhen Jing” or “The Palm of Rulai”? She did not have any ntal preparations when she transmigrated here. She only took a swim and ended up here, not eting the supposedly all-mighty Beast Deity on the way. Nobody ever told her the esoterica exist?!
Gu ngng’s heart dropped and asked, “Will I be treated as a witch and burned to my death if I can’t answer it?”
Lea and Elvis looked at each other, smiled and answered, “Females that can’t answer will be punished for disrespecting the Beast Deity, but Elvis and I will protect you and nobody can hurt you.”
Gu ngng facepald and said in despair, “Do you guys think... it’s a little too late to run away now?”
Cole’s voice sounded from the outside again, “Don’t worry, Sauder will not make life difficult for you just judging from your ability to summon the Fla Devil.”
Gu ngng was stunned, she stared at Elvis and Lea, what’s wrong with these two? Not reminding her that there were people eavesdropping?
Clearing her throat awkwardly, Gu ngng said, “I... I didn’t worry about it.”
Cole chuckled softly, before continuing, “The ceremony is ready, shall we prepare to go over now?”
Gu ngng held Elvis’s hand nervously, Elvis held her hand back, pulling her into his arms and hugged her steadily. With Lea following behind Elvis, they walked out of the stone house together.
Cole did a simple salute to Gu ngng, it was not overly respectful, but sothing out of basic courtesy.
But it made Gu ngng feel comfortable. She would have felt awkward if it was too grand.
Under Cole’s lead, the group entered a place similar to the Platform of the Deity’s Punishnt in Saint Nazaire. The surrounding was so crowded that there was only one path wide enough for one man to pass.
Cole went up the platform first, before signaling for Gu ngng to co up.
Just when Elvis wanted to carry Gu ngng up, Lea pulled him and said, “This place is only accessible to the tribe leader and the ssenger of the Beast Deity, others trespassing will be seen as disrespecting the Beast Deity.”
Elvis raised his eyebrow and did not seem to care.
Lea said, “You are just going to make ngng’s life difficult if you insist on going up. Trust her, she is going to be fine. If anything happens, you and I are just here, one step away.”
Elvis looked at Gu ngng, whom smiled at him as a form of saying ‘it’s okay’. Then, she jumped down from Gu ngng’s arms and walked up to the Platform of the Deity’s Punishnt herself.
There was a book on the platform, severely damaged from the number of years past. The paper was yellow and crisp, as though it would not even be able to withstand a gust of wind.
But...
Why did the book’s cover look so familiar?
Where did she see it before...
“Hoeing millet...” Cole said in a forceful tone with powerful words, as though chanting so prayers.
Gu ngng was stunned, looking at Cole, not understanding why he was acting strange out of a sudden.
“Hoeing millet!” Cole repeated and stared at Gu ngng.
Gu ngng looked back at Cole with a blur face and she replied stiffly, “In midday heat?”
