Chu Nan did not expect that his actions of expressing goodwill would cause such an intense reaction from Priestess Famayi.
After a moment of shock, he took a step back and pulled away from Iho to stand with Angie Prairie. The two of them looked at him and the other Rand people around them warily, wary of them attacking directly.
However, after Iho and the surrounding Rand Clansmen heard Priestess Famayi’s scream, they only looked at each other and did not move.
Iho smiled bitterly and said to Priestess Famayi, “Priestess, these two are friends who just helped us repel the enemy’s attack. They’re not thieves.”
“How do you know he’s not?” Priestess Famayi’s voice became higher and sharper. She looked at Chu Nan as if she wanted to eat him and said fiercely, “You must have colluded with these two outsiders, right?”
Iho could only smile bitterly and shake his head helplessly, but he still did not do anything to Chu Nan and Angie Prairie.
Priestess Famayi glanced at him and then looked at the other Rand Clansmen around her. She said fiercely, “Alright, you’ve all colluded with outsiders and actually plan to let these outsiders defile the sacred Holy Mountain. I’ll go back and warn the Elder Council to chase you out with these two outsiders!”
After saying that, Priestess Famayi glared at Chu Nan and Angie Prairie with hatred and left angrily.
After she disappeared, Chu Nan turned to look at Iho with a questioning gaze.
Iho sighed and shook his head, having no intention of explaining.
“Let’s go see the high priest first. He should be very happy to know that a friend from another race is willing to help us.”
Seeing that he did not plan to give any further explanation, Chu Nan could not be bothered to pursue the matter.
It seemed that although this Priestess Famayi had the title of a priestess, she did not have any status in the eyes of these Rand Clansmen. If Iho did not take her words seriously, ordinary Rand Clansmen would not listen either.
Following Iho, he passed two mountains in the continuous mountain range enveloped by the Sky Dome. A mountain that should be the tallest in this mountain range appeared in front of him.
Although it was the tallest, it was actually only about 300 meters taller than the surrounding wasteland. It could not be considered a very tall mountain and the area it occupied was not very wide. It looked like an ordinary small mountain and there was nothing special about it. It did not have the tall and dangerous aura that Chu Nan had imagined the “Holy Mountain”.
Perhaps seeing through Chu Nan and Angie Prairie’s thoughts from their expressions, Iho asked, “It seems that the priest who asked you to come to the Holy Mountain to participate in the trial did not introduce it to you in detail?”
“Hmm…” Chu Nan nodded, “She only roughly explained the status of the Holy Mountain in the eyes of the Rand Clan. She said that your Holy Clan has always been guarding the Holy Mountain and is the noblest and strongest tribe in the Rand Clan. ”
“Is that so?” Iho forced a smile, “Perhaps the strongest is the strongest. After all, our Rand Clan is now scattered on this planet and has become various tribes of various sizes. There’s probably no other tribe like ours that can maintain the size of tens of thousands of people. As for the noblest… that’s a name left behind in the past. It has nothing to do with us. Moreover… it’s a problem for us to survive this crisis.”
Perhaps in response to Iho’s words, the Sand Eagle Fleet that had been silent above their heads for a while suddenly attacked again. Countless particle beams and material missiles smashed down. Although they were still blocked by the Sky Dome, the huge explosion and bright explosion flames still sounded, reminding everyone of the danger they were facing.
Iho raised his head and lost interest to continue discussing with Chu Nan. He pointed at the mountain in front of him and quickened his pace.
Chu Nan and Angie Prairie silently followed behind. Soon, they reached the halfway point.
As the Holy Mountain of the Rand Clan, it was naturally impossible for this mountain to be no different from other ordinary small mountains.
Not only was there a very tall and majestic building at the top of the mountain, but it should also be the Holy Temple that the high priest had once mentioned. There were all kinds of magnificent buildings scattered on the mountainside, and it was extremely different from the residential houses of the Holy Clan at the foot of the mountain.
When the high priest introduced the Holy Mountain to Chu Nan, she said that the temple at the top of the mountain and the buildings on the mountainside had all been built thousands of years ago. It could be seen that the Rand Clansmen still occupied a ruling position on Planet Leppler at that time and had a developed civilization. That was why they could build so many grand buildings.
In front of a stone hall that also had a strong and grand style halfway up the mountain, a group of people was gathered. Priest Famayi was saying something to the group loudly.
When she saw Iho walking over with Chu Nan and Angie Prairie, Priestess Famayi immediately pointed at Chu Nan and screamed, “It’s these two thieves from other races! They broke into the Holy Mountain at this time. There must be a conspiracy! Iho let them in must have colluded with them!”
That group of people had helpless expressions. It seemed that they could not do anything to her like Iho, but just like him, they did not seem to take her words seriously.
Standing at the front of the crowd was an old man with white hair and a beard. He did not look young, but his face was rosy and he was energetic.
His clothes were the most luxurious, and his bearing was the noblest. It was obvious that he was the person with the highest status here.
As expected, Iho walked up to him and bowed. “High Priest, the guest has been brought.”
The old man called the high priest nodded and turned to Chu Nan and Angie Prairie. A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes before he smiled, “Friends, thank you for being able to help when the Holy Mountain is in danger. I’m sorry that we don’t have the time to welcome you with the proper etiquette. I hope you don’t mind.”
“High Priest, you’re too polite.” Chu Nan waved his hand, “I’ve just told Iho that etiquette and welcome are not important now. What’s important is to deal with the enemy above us. My companion and I thought of a way to enter because we hope to discuss with you and resist the enemy’s attack together. After defeating them, I still hope that the High Priest can arrange for me to participate in the trial.”
“Participate in the trial?” The high priest and the surrounding people were a little surprised.
Iho hurriedly explained Chu Nan’s intentions in the simplest words.
After everyone heard this, they looked at Chu Nan even more strangely.
