The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 165 - Grandson

The energy contained within the essence stone was not only incredible, but also extremely pure. After everything was successfully absorbed by the Saga, he could not return to his Orc form.

Seeing this, Lina was very worried about Saga's state like this, "I must continue to be by her side, to take care of her."

...........

By the third day, Saga's spirit had improved slightly.

"I might get promoted" Saga said.

Hearing that, Lina touched the body of the Piton Snake as she said, "What can we do to help you?"

Saga stuck out her Ular tongue and licked Lina's cheek, after which said, "I might have to change my skin while going up the stars, so, I should leave Stone Mountain and find a safe place."

Lina asked Saga, "Can't you change your skin on Mount Batu instead? Isn't there two floors left empty? The place is big and quiet, you can go there to change skin."

"No way." Answer Saga.

"Why is it impossible?" Asked Lina with a little surprise.

Then patiently Saga tried to explain, "When I change my skin, I need a lot of water, and when I change my skin, I will definitely make a lot of movement. I'm afraid it will destroy the foundation of this fortress, which is why I can't change skin here."

Hearing that, Lina could only sigh at him feeling helpless.

"Hhhh.. All right, do as you say."

...........

In the afternoon, Lina and Uriel escorted Saga as she left the fort.

While Wiro is still busy interrogating Heli Belang. He couldn't come to take Saga away.

As the location to change skin, Saga chose a place in a lake.

This place was the place where she and Lina, for the first time they had united their naked bodies together.

The lake water here was very calm, as calm as a mirror, and the fireflies flying around had now disappeared.

At this moment the black Piton Snake slowly swam into the water.

Before he dived, he looked back at Uriel and Lina who were standing by the river and said, "You guys go back first. After I finish changing skin, I'll definitely be back."

"How long will it take you to take off all your skin?" ask Lina.

"I don't know exactly either. Usually, the fastest one or two days, and the longest may be a month or two." Saga said, then he started diving to the bottom of the lake.

From the edge of the lake, Lina continued to notice the Piton Snake diving into the lake.

Until the lake water gradually calmed down again, and could no longer see the shape of the Snake Piton that had been diving, Uriel said to Lina, "Let's go back."

Hearing that, Lina nodded as she replied, "Yes."

Then Uriel turned into a white tiger, spilled over her body, and let her little girl ride on her back.

After Lina had calmed down, Uriel immediately got up and began to step on her legs, to walk back to Stone Mountain.

After a few footsteps of Uriel, Lina turned her head to look back at the lake.

"I hope, Saga can peel off her skin smoothly, and then, our family can reunite."

...........

During these few days, Wiro was busy punishing Heli Belang, by torturing him.

"Heli Belang is the servant of the Dark Moon Shrine. Before, he was a follower of the high priest. He was also considered a high priest confidant. But this man was very ambitious and always wanted to take the place of high priest. Unfortunately, even though the high priest was old, but he was always in good health. Heli Belang who could not wait any longer, secretly poisoned the high priest and blamed everything on Saga."

Hearing Wiro's last words, Lina was very surprised, "Huh? It turned out that he had caused Saga to become an escape, having been accused of being a murderer!"

Uriel rubbed Lina's back and said softly, "Take it easy, first of all, let's listen to Wiro's talk until it's over."

Then Lina tried to calm herself down, then asked, "Why did Heli Belang trap Saga? Even if he wanted to replace the high priest, should there be a scapegoat?"

"It was because Saga was the next person appointed by the high priest, to replace him. Saga is the second important person after the high priest, in the Dark Moon Shrine," Wiro said.

Hearing that, Lina and Uriel were stunned.

"Huh?"

"I only know that Saga grew up in the Dark Moon Shrine, but I never thought that Saga was the future successor to the high priest." Think Uriel.

Right now Lina's mind was trying to analyze what she had just heard, "First of all, killing the high priest. Second, blame Saga. That way, it had eliminated two competitors at once. This way of thinking Heli Belang is really scary."

But Uriel realized that something was strange.

"If Heli Belang only wanted to get rid of his competitors, he should have achieved his goal when Saga left the Dark Moon Shrine. But why did he have to go out to chase after Saga? Even he had to force out the evil demons hidden in the body of Saga?”

While listening to Uriel's analysis, Lina felt that the things that had happened to Saga were not as simple as Heli Belang said.

Then Uriel said again, "Definitely Heli Belang only said part of the truth, and he must have hidden many other things."

"I'll keep interrogating him. This guy is very cunning. All his words were mixed with truth and falsehood. Sometimes he purposely says some things that aren't true, to confuse the public." After saying that, Wiro grabbed his short silver hair and said again, "By the way, today he also said about something."

Uriel and Lina looked at Wiro, then Lina asked, "What's that about?"

"He said the reason why the high priest appointed Saga as his successor. That's because, Saga's father and high priest are father and son."

After a moment of surprise, Lina asked to be sure, "So.. The high priest of the Dark Moon Shrine is the grandfather of Saga?"

Wiro also answered Lina's question, “Ya, Saga's father is a sinner. He has been executed for colluding with the devil for a long time. Saga was supposed to be executed as well, but that was not the case, it was because Saga received strong protection from the high priest. The high priest was very protective of Saga. He had always taken Saga everywhere to cultivate, and even he had intended to pass down his position as high priest to Saga. That's why Heli Belang felt jealous of Saga and trapped her."

Despite having heard that, but Lina still felt that something was amiss. He also doesn't know what it is.

Then he asked again to confirm what he had just heard, "Did Heli Belang really tell the truth about this?"

Wiro replied, "I cannot guarantee that the things Heli Belang says are the truth. But he shouldn't have lied about Saga. After all, now Saga is also on Mount Batu. If Heli Belang lies, during Saga comes to him, Heli Belang will certainly soon show his scheming. He was very cunning, and he was also not stupid to make a mistake, no matter how small."

Uriel nodded to show her agreement.

Then Lina said, "Saga was not only framed and accused of killing the high priest, but was also accused of stealing holy items from the Temple. Were those sacred items also stolen by Heli Belang?"

"I've asked Heli Belang about it, but he still insists that he doesn't know the existence of the holy items." Answer Wiro.

Lina, Uriel, "....."

Wiro shook his head, then said again, "Heli Belang said that he had never seen any of the sacred items in the Temple, nor did he know what they looked like. I reckon.. This guy must not be telling the truth."

Hearing that, Uriel said, "Then continue the interrogation. Someday, surely we can scrape all the information known by Heli Belang."

"Well, I know that." Answer Wiro.

"And remember, let no one know about Heli Belang. Don't let him run away again." Uriel.

Wiro patted his chest with great confidence as he said, "Don't worry, all his hands and feet have been broken, with his circumstances being like that, naturally he won't be able to escape. Besides, I also told Rei to always guard and supervise the holding room. Don't let there be any neglect!"

Upon hearing that, Uriel looked at Wiro and said, "I hope so too."
