The sudden headache made Lily frowned. She closed her eyes as her hand massaged her head. The voices around her seed to increase the dull ache in her head.
"Mistress, are you alright? Is it the headaches again?" A soft voice reached her. Lily lifted her head. Mistress? "Mistress... you look pale. Shall I tell everyone to end the eting so you could rest?"
"I— "Damn. Why was she in the middle of the eting? Normally, she would wake up sowhere. "Yes. Please..."
"Sybill... this lowly one understands that you are not feeling well. But you have to understand. Without your guidance, our village would suffer from the Rogues! Sybill, we needed your help. Please!" Before the servant could say any more words, a balding man stood and suddenly kneeled in front of Lily. "Sybill, I already lost my wife after she gave birth last month. I don’t want to lose my small little girl too. Without your protection, our village would succ.u.mb to the next attack."
"Sybill, Village Leader Han is telling the truth. Without your protection, our villages would suffer! Please, Sybill, help us!"
"Please Sybill!"
"Please Sybill!"
"Please Sybill!"
"Please Sybill!"
"Please Sybill!"
"Please Sybill!"
Soon, more than ten people were already kneeling in front of her. Seeing this, the pain in her head tripled. What kind of world was this? And why was she not asleep?
"Can everyone please give an hour to recuperate?" she forced the words out of her mouth. She needed ti to absorb this bodies mories and the plot of this world!
"Please, everyone. The Sybill is currently not feeling well. It is fortunate that she allowed everyone to see her, despite her health. Please... let’s give the priestess the ti that she needed!"
Lily had no ti to react to the servant calling her a priestess as she was already assisted out of the room by the sa servant. Murmurs erupted just before the servant led her to another room connected to the previous one.
"Mistress, please take a seat. Let grabbed the dicine— "
"There’s no need." She interrupted the lovely woman wearing a blue gown, sothing that Lily guesses as a servant’s uniform. "Please leave alone for a few minutes. I will take a short nap."
For a few seconds, the servant just stared at her before she bowed and left Lily alone. A sighed of relief escaped Lily’s lips. She examined her surroundings and nodded in approval. At least the room looked decent— a sign that she wasn’t transported in a really old place. The bed she was sitting in a not huge but its sheets were all thick and comfortable.
Lily imdiately felt the urge to lie down and sleep. Her head was still aching, sweat was still trickling down her back. She felt exhausted and sore. It was like she had been walking for a few days. How weird.
’Robot, scan this body.’
[Scanning started...]
[Scanning complete.]
[Status: Poisoned]
She had guessed so. Lily sighed as she thought of her space and found sothing that should be able to cure poisons. It was a blue potion that she made in one of the worlds she was in. She looked at the small words written on the vial, reading its instruction before reading it. Since Lily would forget after leaving the world, she made sure to put so labels on the potions and dicine that she brought.
After giving herself a drop of the dicine, Lily closed her eyes and waited for its effects. The label said the effect was instantaneous. This is the reason why she chose this. Just as she expected, the pain in her head vanished after a few minutes.
Delighted, Lily finally studied her surroundings. She was inside a small room with a bed and a small table nearby. The absence of chairs and cabinets imdiately made her conclude that this wasn’t her room. Surely, they wouldn’t treat a priestess like this, right?
She eyed the lights coming from the window before she stood and approached it. The window is made of glass— thank god. It was a sign that at least the people living here had so sort of special technology. Her greatest fear is actually to be transported into an ice age world. This fear was triggered when they called her priestess. She looked out and imdiately notice the moon or what looked like a moon near the sun. Wait, the two were hanging in the sky, close to each other but one was black and the other was giving them the light.
Her gaze soon landed on the castle on top of the hill just a few hundreds of ters from this place. It was tall and huge, made of stones that were chiseled into blocks. After a few more minutes, Lily finally decided to buy the plot for the current world.
Almost imdiately, the screen appeared in front of her, showing her the details of this world.
