Chapter 187: The Merchant Who Sees the Light
"As far as I know, the archaeologist named Li Ming is of unknown origin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you just believe in him like that? Hearing this, the shadow questioned it seriously.
"But the objects he unearthed from his archaeological excavations, both Elder Strong and General Crosso, identified as genuine." Noyachenko replied truthfully.
"But as far as I know, Li Ming is actually a liar. The blue spell longevity capsules he sold to many rich people had no effect at all. Shadow looked serious and retorted cautiously.
"I don't know. I wasn't interested in history in the first place, but I came to the temple a lot; I learned a lot of information about this from the priest. Noyachenko replied with a relaxed face and an attitude of indifference. At this moment, the shadow fell into deep thought.
"Brother Noyachenko. Have you come to us again after patrolling, looking for beautiful women for sightseeing? "I saw a young and beautiful elven goddess official dressed in a plain white robe, and walked head-on to the entrance of the temple; After seeing Noyachenko, he opened his mouth and asked teasingly.
"Sister Kasumi. When did I come to such a solemn place as your Holy Spirit to find a beautiful woman? Today, I'm here to get down to business. The general asked me to take this gentleman here for a visit. Seeing this, Noyachenko hurriedly greeted the goddess of the elven clan.
"Yo? -- I really didn't expect that the Third Army, who had nothing to do all day long, and only knew how to gag and flirt all day long, would still be able to do serious things? - But when Yuxia heard this, she covered her mouth with one hand and couldn't help laughing.
"Anyway, whether you believe me or not. I'm here today to get down to business. This gentleman beside me is the honored guest invited by the general. Noyachenko patted the shadow on the shoulder with his right palm and introduced the man in black to Koyukatsu.
"Hello for the first time. My name is Koyuka, and I am the priest of this temple. I usually come here and guide the guests on a tour. But Kasumi stepped forward, introduced herself, and greeted the shadow.
"You... Hello. Please advise me as well. "The shadow that was in deep thought was stirred by Ke Youxia's question; As if waking up from a big dream, he raised his head, looked at the face of the goddess official, and hurriedly answered.
"Okay. Please come with me. But Yuxia beckoned Noyachenko and Gyage, turned around, and led them into the temple.
"If you want to talk about the history of our temple, it's too long to even document. Due to the repeated baptism of war, except for the courtyard wall, all other items in the temple have long been destroyed. So now, these buildings in front of you were all rebuilt later, and they have no value at all. ”
But Yuxia led Noyachenko and Shadow into the lush grassy square of the temple, and saw several wooden pavilions in the modern style of the elves in the distance. There were also a few very young elven children running and playing on the grass in the square.
"Who says there's no value? In order to witness God's mercy, wouldn't it be more meaningful to build an orphanage here? Isn't it the most meaningful thing to help children who have been abandoned by their loved ones and have no support? When Noyachenko heard this, he immediately asked in a rare serious tone.
"However, these buildings are very ordinary. The things on it can't be removed and sold as antiques. But You Xia spread out her hands, closed her eyes, and said helplessly.
"Big brother Noyachenko. There you are! A little girl walked up to Noyachenko's side and took the blonde elven man's hand.
"yes. I'm here to play with you. Noyachenko leaned down and told the little girl
"Big brother Noyachenko, come and play with us." The little girl immediately turned her head and shouted at her friends. For a while, several children in the grass square ran towards Noyachenko.
"Big brother Noyachenko. Where did all the pigeons you conjure last time go? A little boy ran over to him first and asked.
"Big brother Noyachenko. Would you like to play hide and seek with us? It's up to you to be the ghost. Another boy, a little older, ran up to him.
"Big brother Noyachenko. The flowers you gave me last time look good - I still have them. You see, you see. A little girl followed the other children, carrying a bouquet of orchid flowers in her hand.
This group of children surrounded Noyachenko like this; Let the men of the blonde elf clan constantly play tricks and play various games with them. Noyachenko also distributed candy to the children, and with a happy smile on his face all the time, he was simply busy.
"Miss Priest, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking. Are the statues at the entrance and arch of the temple from that era? Shadow suddenly asked with a tactful question.
"I shouldn't have told anyone about this. But for your sincere sake, let me tell you. Although the walls of the temple are the best preserved, the statues on them have never been preserved.
In other words, the statues above are all modern crafts made according to the image of the legend, and they are not worth much at all. Don't steal them and sell them. But Yuxia looked into the eyes of the shadow and replied with a more serious attitude.
"Do I look like a thief?" Hearing this, Jiying breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ke Yuxia with a smile.
"The masked man in black - don't say like, I guess you're the one who specializes in doing that kind of thing for the general, right?" But You Xia tilted her head, looked up and down at the shadow with a suspicious gaze, and asked rhetorically.
"Tell me about it, then. What kind of thing do I do specifically for the general? Hearing this, the shadow continued to smile and ask with interest.
"It's not a shady thing like robbing houses, stealing chickens and dogs, robbing graves and digging graves. That's why you need to wear black clothes and cover your face. God—please forgive the sinners in front of me—" But Yukatsu was so sure of what she was saying, she folded her hands and prayed.
"But I'm not that kind of person." Seeing this, the shadow became more and more happy.
"And who are you?" But You Xia looked at the masked man in black in front of her with a more suspicious gaze.
"Merchant." Shadow replied.
"What merchant?" But when Yuxia heard this, her eyes opened wider.
"A merchant of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce." Shadow replied without hesitation.
"Wouldn't it!? With this poor and sour look of yours, you don't even have a decent piece of clothing, and you dare to claim to be a businessman of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce? Do you know how rich the merchants of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce are? "But you can sneer by Kasumi! With a bang, he bent down and laughed out loud.
"Sister Kasumi. You don't know that. He was not only a businessman of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, but also a high-ranking person of the Chamber of Commerce. Spend a lot of money, that's not even blinking an eyelid. This is a fact that I have just seen with my own eyes. After Noyachenko let the children chase the pigeons, he paced to Koyuxia's side and reminded him.
"Are you really that rich?" But Yuxia's eyes widened in disbelief at first, and she looked at Noyachenko, and then turned back to ask about the shadow.
"This is a check from the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. With it, you can withdraw 100,000 gold coins from the Chamber of Commerce's bank. Please be sure to receive these 100,000 gold coins as a donation from the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce to your temple. Shadow retrieved a check from his bosom and displayed it in front of Koyuxia.
Seeing this, you immediately stretched out her hand. The man in black then put the check from the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce in her hand.
"Let's go." Shadow turned and walked towards the entrance of the temple. Seeing this, Noyachenko immediately followed. Only Ke Youxia was left standing alone, holding the check from the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce in her hand, looking at it over and over again, trying to find out as many flaws as possible.
"But Yuxia's sister is also an orphan. She has lived and raised in this temple since she was a child. Since she didn't, Sister Croix and Big Sister Crook Xun had such good talents and qualifications; So I can only stay as a priest, responsible for taking care of those children, and serve the gods for the rest of my life.
Because she has a lot of things to manage, she is extremely obsessed with money, and even a little sensitive. Please don't be surprised. Noyachenko told the Shadow.
"I'm not surprised, am I?" Shadow asked rhetorically in a calm tone.
"Then why don't you say goodbye?" Noyachenko questioned incomprehensibly.
"Because, I want to buy something and go back. That's all. Shadow replied calmly. Then, the man in black led Noyachenko to buy a lot of toys and snacks in many street shops. After shopping, he and the blonde elven man began to head back to the temple.
"You're a bit of a puzzled person." On the way back to the temple, Noyachenko, who was carrying a large bag and a small bag, followed behind the shadow, who was also carrying several large bags, to express his feelings and evaluate the man in black.
"Like you once said. If I don't hurry up now and do something meaningful to myself, I'm afraid I won't have a chance again in the future. Shadow replied. So, the man in black and Noyachenko arrived at the temple again, brought a big surprise to Koyuxia and the children, and stayed there all night. (Preparing for a bonfire or something)
“... This is what the Father knows. As a father, I have to tell my daughter about this. As for what you will think and do after listening to it, it's all up to you. Fathers do not and cannot interfere with your decisions.
But remember that everyone will pay for their choices. In the administrative residence of the General of the Third Army, Krosso sat in his chair with a solemn face and admonished Crosso.
"I see. Father. I'll figure it all out in my own way. Croix nodded in agreement. The expression on her face was neither surprised, nor confused, nor calm, but only some expected melancholy.
