Deep in the deep forest, a luxurious golden church suddenly came into view. The strong contrast was shocking.
Goddess of nature and wealth.
There are very few people who actually serve this present god in the church, but his followers are spread across the continent.
Regardless of whether they are kings, merchants or adventurers, as long as they have dreams of wealth, they will more or less pray to this god for protection in their hearts.
the reason is simple.
Because this god is responsible for printing money.
It’s actually not surprising if you think about it.
Currency is a contract that replaces barter transactions, and all human goods originate from nature.
Luo Wei walked to the door of the church and used a wooden coin as a knock on the door. The golden door glowed slightly and then opened heavily.
"What a sting."
Shaye couldn't help but say something from behind. If the fragments of the Fierce Sun Spear were kept in the church of the Goddess of Nature and Wealth, then it would obviously be better to be more sincere.
As the god who mints the entire world's currency, you use a wooden coin as a door-knocking message.
"It's not all a matter of intention."
Luo Wei was indifferent to Shaye's words. The churches of the goddess of nature and wealth were hidden deep in the forest. It was not a coincidence. It would undoubtedly be difficult to find such a building in the vast sea of trees. Therefore, when many businessmen have the opportunity to see the golden church, they are willing to pay half of their currency as a sign of sincerity.
Just metaphysics.
As an old guarantor before time travel, Luo Wei never believed in metaphysics.
Just like now, he found the church with the resonance device given by Urs. This artifact can guide them through the winding forest boundaries outside. It has nothing to do with coincidence.
What's more, people can print money, but they still care whether the money you give them is Sen coins or wooden coins?
Stepping into the majestic and vast church, Vermeer looked around and felt a golden light.
She has also heard many stories about this goddess, who gave the right to mint coins to the Lion Garden Kingdom. The power of the deeds on the coins comes from the divine deity, ensuring that they cannot be counterfeited.
A god who has nothing to do with the world, but controls the lifeblood of worldly power.
The three of them walked into the prayer hall. Since no one would come, there would naturally not be a bunch of pretentious prayer benches in the hall. The empty floor was made of pure gold, giving people a luxurious and quiet feeling.
Golden trees are embedded in the walls on both sides, as if over a long period of time, the growth of the big trees has supported the secular buildings, but has been dyed with the same color by the secular world.
"Is there no one?"
Paying a slight greeting to the goddess statue in the distance, Shaye looked around and saw no trace of anyone.
"No," Luo Wei closed his eyes and smiled, "Probably just observing us."
Naturally, the gods will not clean the church themselves. The outer barrier will attract intelligent creatures in the forest when the church is empty, and bestow favors on them to become church keepers.
As for the sectarian here, he knew... well, he had known him before.
At this moment, the three of them heard the crisp sound of horse hooves, clearly visible on the floor.
Looking towards the source, a beautiful figure appeared in the corridor on the second floor.
"No one has been here for a long time," the figure said reluctantly, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Centaur, Shirley.
The lower body is a horse, the human upper body replaces the front part of the horse, and there are horse-like animal ears on the top of the head.
She was wearing a loose sacrificial robe with very wide sleeves. She had pretty features and her long white hair was combed carefully, with ribbons tied on both sides of her head.
"Let's find the fragments of the Fierce Sun Spear." Luo Wei was not going to beat around the bush with her.
To be honest, Luo Wei didn't expect that she had Shaye's branch hidden here. He didn't find this church on the way to Crownless City in the last round. He only came here later when he drove Lovely's magic battleship around.
Faced with a long list of unfinished branches at that time, it was impossible for him to make a list and ask everyone he met, "Have you heard about the hundreds of mission props below?"
After all, who knew that he would travel through time...
As the first player in the world to clear the level, his only idea for a week is to do the best he can, rather than to collect them all. The branch of Shaye is hidden too deep, and even Urs’ Resonance Device cannot be found in some fragments. arrive. And the key point is the truth behind the fragments. With the destruction of some parts of the timeline, there is no way to know the truth.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Shaye's plot was just as easy to make people angry as she herself.
Can't you just learn from Vermeer?
It's just difficult.
Vermeer: "?"
Seeing the complicated look directed at her, the girl blinked twice in confusion and immediately covered her body in panic.
what did I do? I didn't say anything!
"Oh, that's it, it's here as expected," Shirley sighed and said, "Just call me Shirley. You should know the rules here."
As a price for asking the question, a need of the keeper needs to be met.
Luo Wei knew this, but——
really?
She seemed to know that someone was looking for the fragment, and it seemed like someone had personally delivered the item to her.
It seems that there is indeed information about fallen angels.
Recognizing this, Luo Wei said: "You or I should raise it."
"Huh...?" Shirley frowned, "Do you really know what the rules are?"
It's clear, but I know you're embarrassed to say it.
This guy is a bit arrogant.
It’s all a twist and turn, and it takes me several minutes to piece together a complete answer, even though it’s obviously just a sentence.
He said without any burden:
"You're lonely here alone, aren't you?"
Shaye: "?"
Vermeer: "..."
Shirley: "!!??"
"You, you, you -" Shirley's face turned red upon hearing this, and she stepped back twice with her horse's hooves, "What are you talking about!!"
Vermeer couldn't help but glance at the smooth lines of the horse's hooves.
Well……
How can I compete... Let him ride on me?
Luo Wei stood there and continued: "You really want to meet other centaurs and see how your fellow centaurs live, right?"
"!!"
Shirley looked shocked again.
How does he know?
From the moment she was born, she was abandoned in the forest and raised by deer, never seeing a creature like her.
It wasn't until she came to this church one day as if she had been guided that she learned a lot of knowledge. As a church keeper, she cleaned it meticulously every day. The only thing she was happy about was the books about centaurs.
Judging from the records in the book, centaurs have their own tribe and sometimes fight with humans, but they are very friendly to elves. And based on the description of their appearance, their white horse body should be regarded as a centaur. The very beautiful and noble type, right?
She really wanted to meet her fellow tribesmen, and she also longed for recognition. She heard that there were many people in the world who wanted to find the golden church hidden in the forest, but in this place where they had been for ten years, she wanted to go out and see it even more.
"You...can you bring a centaur to see me?"
Luo Wei smiled and shook his head, "No, I will take you to see them."
…
The Valley of Lamentation.
Vermeer watched Shirley greet the other centaurs timidly, and was sincerely happy for her.
"That's great..."
After learning about the other party's past experience, Vermeer couldn't help but think that the key to adventure might not be how many monsters were defeated or how many ruins were explored. The scene before her gave her a greater sense of accomplishment.
It was rare for Shaye not to talk back to Luo Wei this time.
"You can also do some personal errands occasionally."
Luo Wei ignored the two people's sighs. In fact, centaurs are not the real orcs. The reason why there are many centaurs in the Wailing Valley is simply because they experienced similar experiences to the orcs.
Humans will destroy the Centaur's territorial environment, and Centaur tribes will sometimes disturb humans, and small-scale conflicts will occur between the two from time to time.
But I'm afraid, centaurs still underestimate human quirks...
Front or back, that is the question.
The centaurs are all beautiful, and there are always some who dare to make bold attempts.
In addition, centaurs have their own territory and are difficult to capture. The number on the slave market is even rarer. The price is stable for an average orc, and can even stand shoulder to shoulder with mermaids.
As for the male centaur...ahem, that's even more indescribable.
About half an hour later, Shirley came back with her hoofs on, unable to hide the happiness on her face.
"Is this enough?" Vermeer looked at her in surprise, "Why don't you stay with them for a while longer?"
"But, that's okay," Shirley said intermittently, "it won't be good to waste too much of your time."
She originally thought that after understanding her needs, these three people would go out for a few months to search for centaurs. Unexpectedly, they actually took her directly to the orc territory where centaurs lived. Not only did they meet more than a dozen of their fellow tribesmen, but they also witnessed their lifestyle.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to leave.
"Okay," she said again with determination, "go back, I will give you the two fragments."
two?
Shaye was stunned for a moment. In the church where Shirley was, there were actually two fragments at the same time?
Returning to the Golden Church in the forest, the empty hall is luxurious but not enviable.
While Shirley was going to get the fragments of the Fierce Sun Spear, Vermeer whispered in Luo Wei's ear and asked, "If I remember correctly, the Goddess of Nature and Wealth is a pure religion, right?"
Pure religious belief means that believers must not be tainted with any other beliefs.
Luo Wei glanced at her curiously, "Why, you finally grew a brain?"
Vermeer: "??"
angry!
I'm just stupid, not stupid, okay!
But she didn't dare to refute, so she could only speculate silently in her heart.
The reason Athetana didn't show up was because she didn't want Shirley's faith to be shaken. Although granting the divine seal would allow Shirley to get along with other centaurs at any time, it was not tolerated by purely religious beliefs.
A certain amount of kindness can help others, but forcing kindness on others will cause trouble.
She had been aware of this since the incident with the orcs, so Vermeer didn't think it was a good idea to let Attana get in touch with Shirley, but was relieved about it.
Anyway...he didn't set out on the journey to save anyone.
"You...if you are interested in riding a horse, then...you can ride me too."
Luo Wei: "???"
He frowned, and then thought that he had misunderstood Shirley by deliberately provoking those words.
Really...
It’s not like I’m just going to capture every one I see.
This made him feel funny and said, "Shouldn't you be the one riding me?"
Vermeer: "...?"
Luo Wei couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. From the beginning, he asked her not to be an exhibitionist in the wild. Wei Mier cried and refused. At the same time, Shaye's presence made her unable to let go. Even this angel could not let go. Hanging on the tree, I am always worried that she will come back at any time.
Forget it, back to the orcs, Ahu Lili didn't know why she was so crazy, and she still hugged her to sleep with her every night.
As a result, he did nothing along the way and could only wait for Shaye to finish her bath alone outside the bathroom.
She is probably the type who pays great attention to atmosphere.
Shirley came back from the side door and handed two completely different boxes to Shaye.
"It's these two. When they came to the church covered in blood, they said that someone would come to pick it up and left. They also left a very interesting note inside."
Luo Wei narrowed his eyes. He came here because of the guidance of the resonance device, not some inevitable connection.
In other words, it was not the three of them who were originally scheduled to come here to retrieve the fragment.
"Can you summon the messenger now?" He looked at Shirley and said.
"Okay," Shirley frowned, "What do you want to do?"
How does he know me so well?
Not only do you know my needs, but even my magical abilities?
Without further explanation, Luo Wei took out a magic device from his cloak.
"This is a magic surveillance projection. If someone comes to ask about the Fierce Sun Spear next time, I hope you can take a photo and send it to me."
Shirley looked at the device and after confirming that it was a product of unbelieving magic, she sighed slowly.
"Since you have helped me so much, then... okay."
Handing him a wooden messenger ring, Rowe nodded and accepted it, then came to the two women who were lost in thought in front of the box.
There is no doubt that there is a fragment of the Fierce Sun Spear that Sha Ye is looking for.
But the note attached inside said the same sentence.
It says on it——
"Be careful of the Craftsmen's Club!"
