Feicui Long obviously knows that it refers to the modified symbol of his temple and not to that of the house, after all someone who belongs to his temple can easily recognize which is the symbol of a noble house and which is that of his temple, since they see it every day.
So pretending ignorance and in order not to make everyone uncomfortable, especially because the other four girls are also looking at him with doubtful eyes, he says: "Miss Emma, this symbol… is the symbol of the emerald-golden dragon god."
Emma looks at him seriously without the characteristic joy from before and says: "That I know, I discovered it since I saw your troops, but… why is it so modified?, since when can a human sit between the two forms of the emerald dragon god."
Then putting her hands on her waist she looks at him leaning and says: "And that is not the only strange thing, I see that you and your people call him the emerald-golden dragon god and that is not the official name of the temple, I know that many old branches of the temple like to call him that, but this symbol and you being so young do not seem from those branches, how do you explain all that young lord?"
Feicui Long being interrogated by one of his paladins was something he never expected, so looking for an excuse he says raising a finger: "You see Miss Emma, this is all… thanks to an oracle like yours, the emerald dragon god, he felt sad for having made his temple call him only emerald dragon, only to resemble the absolute sovereign, so he decided to change it."
Subsequently he turns elegantly and points at the symbol and says: "The same in this symbol, the one who sits in the center is not a human, it is the emerald-golden dragon god himself, hence he has a tesseract/hypercube representing his supreme divine authority over space, a clock his supreme divine authority over time and his emerald heart his supreme divine authority over dragons and power."
He happily sees how the other girls begin to nod, as if everything he said made sense to them, after all if Emma had an oracle, why would not the hero who returned the techniques to the temple have one.
Emma narrows her eyes doubtful, making a dense and heavy aura that can almost be cut with a knife be felt and says: "I do not believe it young lord… it is not that I do not trust you, but I still remember that day when you visited us that you yourself said that you were not a believer."
This makes those of her group look at each other and nod with their heads, they too had heard about this, the young hero apparently was not a believer and that is why he handed over the techniques without hesitation, since they were useless to him.
Feicui Long tries to deny this quickly saying: "People can change their minds Miss Emma, in these almost four years, I have become quite devoted to the emerald-golden dragon god."
This that Feicui Long says is quite reasonable, those on his side support him nodding and Emma's companions reconsider this option again, but it seems that Emma was not going to give up so easily.
Emma approaches and sniffing him she responds: "It is possible, but if it were so why do you yourself not wear this symbol, is that not too much of a coincidence… do you know what I think is happening young lord?"
Emma remains silent processing this looking at herself very seriously and only opens her mouth to pronounce some words that would leave him in the deepest shock in all his life and that in this life he has had several, but not only him, but all the people present.
Emma straightens up and tells him, without even doubting for a moment whether she is wrong or not: "I think you young lord… are the emerald-golden dragon god, right?"
This makes his mouth open wide and for a moment he cannot even gather air to pronounce a single word.
The girls of Emma's team quickly approach and hold Emma, Mila specifically tells her: "Emma you went crazy!, what kind of heretical things are you saying!"
Haru holds her other arm and says: "Yes Emma, I know you are very devoted but you cannot go around saying things like this… what if those of the punishment branch hear you?"
But at the same time they cannot avoid looking at Feicui Long who still does not react and as his team behind him also have super impressed faces.
Emma then explains herself: "Have you not realized already?, everyone in the temple knows the three divine authorities of the emerald dragon god, but outside the temple few remember them anymore, in fact that is why many consider the space branch, the time branch, the dragon branch and the central branch that mixes the three aspects as different temples, without knowing that they are one single one."
Afterwards she points at the troops of Feicui Long and says: "Besides, have you not noticed the breath that comes from these women?, it is the same aura that those of our temple emanate and not only that but of the paladins of the central branch."
The women for the first time concentrate on analyzing this aura and only open their eyes shocked, but even so knowing that he is the one who brings the techniques back to the temple they do not see it as so strange.
Lily replies to Emma: "Emma… but was he not the one who brings us the techniques that the temple had lost?, he could easily teach them to his troops, specifically those."
Emma nods and points out that she understands this, but replies and says: "It may be a coincidence, but have you already forgotten?, the vision of the emerald dragon god that flies over this forest… the rumors and so on that we hear about it, everything matches with the young lord being around here."
She then approaches even closer with confidence to Feicui Long, Emma Stein who has a height very similar to Feicui Long measuring 1.9 meters, stops right in front of his face producing an even more uncomfortable aura in the area and says: "That is what I believe young lord… no, my lord, the venerable emerald-golden dragon god, is Emma wrong?"
Feicui Long finally recovers from the shock and looks at this paladin of his and sees that in those eyes there is only certainty and zero doubt, no matter what he tells her or how he denies it, it is impossible that Emma changes her mind.
Sighing heavily, he snaps his fingers and soon several scrolls form above the palm of his hand and using his telekinesis, he puts them in front of each one of Emma's team and relaxing he says: "My answer is only given after you sign this, I suppose you already know what this is about."
The five women look at this scroll shining with golden and emerald tones, they can clearly read "Pact of the emerald-golden dragon" and with that comes to mind the contract that Emma has to sign and that they had heard from superiors, that they too have to sign if they want to go higher in the hierarchy of the temple.
This is an indirect way of confirming what Emma says for them, since the production of these scrolls takes a long time and is costly, because they have to be linked to the will of their god, so only their god himself or his representative can create it with extreme ease and the current representative is a woman…
Emma bites her finger and signs it marking it with her blood, the other girls who also have been devout all their lives, also do it, with that they look expectantly at Feicui Long.
Who smiles ironically and says: "Yes, I am"
As he finishes saying it the true form of his eyes shows itself to the group of women, who immediately kneel and begin to pray saying: "Oh my lord, we regret having questioned you… please, please forgive us."
Emma who still is standing only smiles and kneels on one knee while lowering her head and says: "I greet the supreme sovereign of dragons and power, the supreme sovereign of space and the clan of space, the supreme sovereign of time and the clan of time, this faithful believer has never doubted you…"
All the group of Feicui Long is calm, except Irina who looks super confused and asks out loud: "Is the young master the emerald-golden dragon god?"
Feicui Long then remembers that she is the only one of his subordinates who signs the pact, who does not know about this and he takes a few moments to explain everything to her.
…
After the initial impact, the atmosphere finally calms down and although they would like to stay and chat more, the group of five women cannot delay the plans of their god, so obeying his command, they accelerate their pace.
Soon this group of 53 people can finally see the exit of the Leechwald forest to at last arrive back after so long to Skydragon Village.
