Chapter 650 - Naga Priestess (2/2)

"You-" Before she could finish her words, Jiang Fei took a step closer and got her affected by the title Romeo.

A green light flashed on her character and her Reputation Level with Jiang Fei instantly rose to Friendly. After that, with the Blessings of the Dragon God, Jiang Fei had gained an additional 5,000 Reputation Points, which only increases her Reputation Level further.

"I welcome you, my Nephilim friend," said the Naga Priestess with respect as she smiled happily.

"Thank you," Jiang Fei smiled back. It was crucial for Jiang Fei to treat the Priestess with utmost care if he wanted to enter the altar.

Now that she had reached Approved Level of Reputation, the Priestess was more than happy to linger around Jiang Fei, allowing Jiang Fei to ask many questions about their race and the Queen.

In around 20 minutes later, Mirage came out of the huge doors and immediately came for Jiang Fei.

"My darling! Ah... My apologies, great Priestess. I did not realize you are talking to him," said Mirage as she quickly bowed down to the Priestess.

"It is alright. Has the Queen ask for this respected Inquisitor?"

"Yes, oh great Priestess," said Mirage as she lowered her head.

"In that case, I shall leave him in your care," said Rebecca as she turned away and left without saying goodbye.

"Are the Priestess powerful in terms of authority?" Jiang Fei asked. Without Isabella talking to him, Jiang Fei was completely oblivious to the ways of the world.

"Yes, there are. Unlike the Merfolk where there is one absolute authority, which is Poseidon, we, the Nagas do not have one absolute ruler. The Queen is tasked with daily managerial tasks while the Priestess has the highest authority over all the Naga. They hold the power to elect the next Queen!"

"I see," Jiang Fei replied and nodded his head. It seems that the Naga did not practice the ancient governing system of authoritarian. Even though the Queen oversaw many of the governing decisions, there were twelve prominent figures that had an even higher authority than the Queen!

Jiang Fei had a thought. The Naga's lives were controlled by the Naga's Soul. In that case, the Holy Altar, where the gemstone is kept, should be the most protected place in the Naga territory, while the Priestess that had access to the Holy Altar had the highest authority of all the Naga race.

"Darling, please follow me. The Queen has agreed to talk to you. However, I must plead you to behave yourself. Do not allow the Queen to know who you really are!" said Mirage. After being love-struck by Jiang Fei, she had completely forsaken her loyalty to the Nagas and would stand by Jiang Fei.

"Relax, I got this covered. This is not the first Queen or King that I have talked to," said Jiang Fei. Even if he got caught, he could simply earn Reputation points with the Queen and get himself out of danger.

Jiang Fei followed Mirage into the large door and headed into the royal chamber. Since the Holy City of the Naga did not allow many to enter as they please, the entire palace was guarded with only very few female guards.

"My Queen, the Inquisitor has arrived," said Mirage as she entered the chamber.

"Please come in," said a beautiful voice lazily.

"Yes, my Queen!"

Mirage quickly gave Jiang Fei a warning glance to remind Jiang Fei to mind his manners whilst talking to the Queen.
