Are you worthy of saving the world?

"Is there some connection between this Dragon God Island and the Witch King?" Yuli guessed.

"What connection?" Stella asked.

"I don't know." Yuri shrugged.

He himself didn't know whether he entered this singularity by accident or whether the invisible hand of the "Crimson King" was at work.

Damn it, you actually made such a troublesome copy for me...

Yuli decided that he would severely punish Yanhong the next time he saw her, if he could ever see her again in this life.

When the discussion lasted for about an hour and a half, several maids walked into the main hall.

"Dragon Priestess, it's time."

The head maid walked up to the three of them and said to Stella.

She was an old lady who looked quite dignified. Stella scratched her cheek impatiently.

"Oh...oh...wait a moment."

"Are we already learning etiquette? Is the free time every day so short?" Jiaika asked.

Stella shook her head and said uneasily: “Today is the day to choose the sacrifice.”

Jiayi Ka: “…”

Choose your offering.

In other words, a young girl must be chosen from among the children on the island to perform a living sacrifice ceremony.

This is exactly the original job of the generation of "Dragon Priestess" played by Stella.

"Can we watch from the sidelines?" Yuli suddenly turned around and asked the head maid.

The old lady raised her eyebrows, obviously unhappy.

In her opinion, it was an act of usurpation for these two people from outside the island to be able to speak to the witch on an equal footing.

Yuri said, "The witch seems to like me very much. If you don't agree, she will be very unmotivated."

"Haaa~~~~?" Stella stretched out the tone and made a sour face.

Yuli kicked her under the table.

"Ah... yes, that's right! I like them both very much... Head Maid, can we let them stay here?"

Although the head maid was reluctant, she finally agreed to let Yuli and Jiaika watch.

"follow me."

The head maid led the three of them on foot for a few minutes and arrived at a room on the other side of the temple.

Unlike the magnificent main hall, this place is so shabby that it looks like a confinement room.

The common point is that the ceilings are very high, and the sunlight shining in from the skylight above shines directly on the stone table in the center of the room. After the twelve maids entered, they stood in a circle against the wall.

The head maid took out a cloth bag in front of Yuli and the others.

The open bag contained dozens of beautiful round stones shaped like go pieces, with words engraved on them.

The three of them looked at each other.

——Rune Stone!

There is no need to say much about Yuli and Jiaika. Stella also learned runes when she was learning to read at Yuli's house and has some understanding of rune magic divination.

Of course, what is engraved on these stones are not runes, but names.

The names of girls under the age of 10 who live on Dragon God Island.

Next, the "Dragon Priestess" will select a living sacrifice from among them.

The head maid presented the bag to Stella: “Come on, miko, please put your hand into the bag.

Please remember, your choice is the oracle... Lord Dragon God will guide your hands to choose the right answer."

Seeing that Stella was unmoved, the old lady continued: “Living sacrifice is a necessary sacrifice.”

“Hmm… I understand.”

Stella had a stinky face and put her hand in with great resistance.

After hesitating for a long time, she took out a stone and threw it on the table.

On the stone, there is the name of a young girl carved in runes.

You're amazing, Yuli muttered softly.

Jiayika's pupils dilated and she covered her mouth.

Emily was chosen as a sacrifice for the "Red Festival".

……

……

……

Jiaika didn't remember how she got back to the village.

When I came to my senses, I was already standing at the entrance of the village, and it had already darkened.

In addition to Yuli, several maids from the Dragon God Temple also followed them into the village.

The maids were there to read the witch's oracle to the family of the chosen "lucky girl".

Everyone walked towards Mrs. Emil's room.

In the past, Jiaika always felt happy when she went to Emily's house, but now she walked with heavy steps.

“Wait… please wait a moment!”

The maids were about to knock on the door but were stopped by Jiayika.

Even though she had reached the door, she was unable to open it and could only stand outside.

"... Let's go inform the village chief first."

The maids said this and left.

After a long time, Jiayi Ka finally knocked on the heavy door.

The woman who opened the door was Madame Emile, who was wearing a simple apron and seemed to be preparing dinner.

As soon as she saw Yuli and Jiaika, Mrs. Emil smiled gently.

"You two, you went to see the miko today, right? How was it? Did you do anything rude?

I made a lot of dinner tonight, so if you can, stay and eat with us? Emily will be happy too."

"Mrs. Emil..."

Jiayi Ka looked sad.

Mrs. Emil was a very perceptive woman and she immediately noticed that Jiaika was worried.

Just then, she saw the maidens from the Dragon Temple walking around the village.

Madame Emil's expression froze.

"What's going on? Have the children from our village been chosen by the miko?"

Jiayi Ka lowered her head and said nothing.

"Answer me, what happened?"

Mrs. Emil's forehead was covered with sweat, and she nervously grasped Jiaika's arm.

The girl with pigtails just lowered her head and shook her head repeatedly, while making choked sobbing sounds.

Mrs. Emil had no choice but to turn to the other person and ask: "Mr. Yuli, what... happened?"

Yuri paused.

"Emily was chosen..."

Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Emil covered her face and fell to her knees.

The shrill cries echoed in the village.

……

……

……

This has become the worst possible development...

Yuli sat at the table, eating mushy oatmeal in silence with a wooden spoon.

Beside him, Jiaika and Mrs. Emil also said nothing.

Emily didn't know what was going on. Seeing that her mother and sister were silent, she also remained silent.

Something is not right.

Yuri glanced at Jiayika out of the corner of his eye.

I don’t know what extreme thing she will do, so I have to keep an eye on her from now on.

But on the other hand, this is actually an opportunity.

The priestess who perform the ceremony and the living sacrifices who take part in the ceremony are all people he knows, which gives him more room for maneuver.

Yuli thought to himself: Lord Dragon God, let me uncover your true identity.

After dinner, Emily followed her mother to the sink to wash the dishes.

Soon after everything was cleaned up, Emily's grandfather, the village chief, also arrived.

He came to the dining table with a gloomy face and sat down.

"grandfather!"

Emily ran over and hugged the village chief's waist with her usual smile.

However, the old man could not smile as usual.
