The shrine was built on the highest point of Mt. Rimi, and if Maier wanted to trade with the shrine maiden, he had to climb the long, steep hillside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Fortunately, his physical strength is good enough, and he is only slightly tired when he sees the shrine's iconic welcome clock.

In charge of the bell are the shrine's shrine maidens, who wear white and red shrine maiden costumes. As soon as Mel and his party approached, they rang the bell three times. Meier remembers that Gray once said that the welcome bell is struck three times to welcome the average guest, and seven times to welcome the distinguished guest.

If there is a steady stream of guests, the bell will ring non-stop until all the guests have entered the shrine. When guests leave the shrine, the shrine maidens do not ring the bell, but they do stand on the bell stand and salute the guests.

Gray told Myer a story. It is said that before the cataclysm, there was a wealthy merchant in Ira, who felt that he was rich and powerful, looked down on anyone, and often deliberately caused trouble for others, and took pleasure in it. One day, when he heard about the welcome bell, he took thousands of servants to the shrine and asked them to go in one by one and come out one by one.

It took a whole day for thousands of servants to go in, and the bells never stopped ringing. By the time the servants came out, it was already night, and the shrine maidens had no rest all night in order to salute them. The next day, the bell keeper wished the witch to change shifts, and the servants of the rich merchants were waiting for them.

Later, the wealthy merchant thought that this was too boring, so he divided the servants into two teams and asked them to enter and leave the shrine alternately. In order to deal with these servants, the shrine maidens who kept the bell were also divided into two teams, one team rang the bell and the other team saluted, and there was no chance to rest from the shift. The rich merchant asked his servants to toss and wish the shrine maiden like this for a full month. During this time, the shrine maidens never complained, and continued to do their duty, so much so that even the rich merchants were moved by them and disbanded the servants and stopped torturing them.

Because of this story, Maier has respected the profession of shrine maiden since he was a child. So as he passed the welcome bell, he stopped and saluted the shrine maidens who were looking down.

His behavior surprised the shrine maidens and they saluted him one after another. Seeing that Maier had such respect for the shrine maiden, the accompanying war witch felt a little uncomfortable. For when Mel saw them, his eyes were full of vigilance, as if they were going to kill him at any moment.

The shrine has no gate, but after the welcome bell, it is a large square. There were more than a dozen maidens with brooms and dutifully sweeping the ground. In the center of the square is a stone pillar about two meters in diameter and about fifteen meters in height, guarded by eight war witches armed with long knives, and around the square there are two war witches patrolling.

The stone pillar is facing the main entrance of the hall of self-reflection, and outside the main gate there are two columns of sixteen war witches. Gray said that there are many cubicles in the Hall of Introspection, and it is a place for outsiders to reflect on themselves. Generally speaking, the square and the hall of introspection are the only places where outsiders can move freely, and special permission is required to go further inside.

But this doesn't seem to be the case at Rimi Shrine. The Witch took Maier directly around the Introspective Hall and came to a building that looked like a warehouse, where she negotiated with Maier about the price of dyed pottery.

"A clay pot is 40 Wen Yiliang a penny, and a pottery bowl is 15 Wen Yiliang a penny."

The price quoted by the Witch stunned Myer. When he bought the goods, a dyed clay pot cost only 25 Wentai Rong Yuan, and the dyed pottery bowl was 10 Wen Tai Rong Yuan. Just by transporting them from Liangyue City to Rimi Shrine, the price became more than four times the original.

Huge profits!!!

Maier used to think that 100 percent profit was high enough, but when he saw the real profit of more than 300 percent, he realized that his knowledge of business was only a drop in the middle.

Although the profit of 300% is already very high, Meier still habitually raises the price once.

"A clay pot is 50 Wen Yiliang money, and a pottery bowl is 20 Wen Yiliang money."

"Deal."

Without thinking about it, the Witch nodded her head, and she asked the Witch Maiden to move the goods down from the carriage and count the quantities of them. Then she asked the war witch who was in charge of the warehouse to open the door of the warehouse, go in and take out a large bag of money, and let Maier count it in person.

Hundred...... 500 percent !!!!

Maier, who tasted the sweetness of profiteering for the first time, was so excited that he almost cried out. He quickly counted the money with Kiki, and then loaded the money bag into the carriage.

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, the long witch suddenly grabbed Mel's arm and asked.

"Are you the leader of the caravan?"

Maier didn't know why the Witch would ask him such a question, and nodded subconsciously.

"Okay, that's you."

The witch took Mel's arm and pulled him to the dyed pottery he had just bought.

"Smash it."

"Huh?!"

Mel couldn't believe his ears. The dyed clay pot worth 150 Wentai Rong money, and the dyed pottery bowl worth 60 Wentai Rong money, I just bought it, and I actually said that I would smash it?!

And let the seller smash it?!

"Excuse me, what did you just say?"

"I let you smash it."

As the Witch said this, the Witches skillfully surrounded the carriage, and if Maier did not do what the Witch said, they would kill Maier and his maids immediately.

"Uh...... Can I ask why? ”

"I can't."

The Witch picked up a dyed clay pot from the ground and handed it to Mel.

"Smash."

Maier stared at the pot, then turned to look at the nervous maids, and took the pot and took a deep breath.

"It's rude."

He lifted the pot high and slammed it to the ground, shattering it to pieces.

"Now we can go, right?"

"Wait a minute."

As she spoke, the Witch squatted on the ground, carefully picking up each fragment and arranging them neatly on the ground, each row of exactly ten. The fragments of the clay pot were arranged in sixteen rows, and at the end there were seven left.

The long witch's eyes lit up, and she picked out the triangular fragments from them, and placed them on the ground in the same way beside them, just three rows.

After this, she asked the war witch beside her to sweep the debris far away, and then said to Mel.

"Please smash another one."

"Ha ?!!"

This time, not only Maier, but even his maids were shocked by the request of the long witch.

"Please be sure to smash another one."

The Witch changed her tone abruptly and bowed to Myer.

"Please."

Mel hesitated, then picked up a clay pot from the ground and held it high. This time he didn't use much strength, but the clay pot was still shattered, which startled him a lot.

Belch...... What's going on?

While Mel was staring at her palms and wondering, the Witch squatted on the ground again, gathered the fragments of the clay pot one by one, and laid them out on the ground as before, and then arranged them in sixteen rows, and at last there were seven left. After that, she quickly picked out the pieces of the triangle, and it turned out to be arranged in three rows.

It's the same as before!

When Mel saw this, his jaw almost fell to the ground.

This result made the long witch very excited, and she immediately asked the war witch beside her to sweep away the debris, and motioned for the war witches to disarm themselves, and then said respectfully to Maier.

"Please come with me."

Mel hadn't recovered from the shock he had just had, and he wanted to use common sense to explain what had just happened, but he couldn't.

"Excuse me...... What the hell just happened? ”

"Please come with me, this is the order of the Great Witch."

"Great Witch?"

Maier didn't know what was going on with the supreme leader of Rimi Shrine looking for him, but he was sure that it had something to do with the strange events that had just happened.

"That's right, please come with me to see the Great Witch."

Mel turned to look at the three maids, and saw that they were looking at him worriedly.

"And what about them?"

"I can swear to the god of revelation that when you return, your men will not be able to get a hair down. If they are harmed, I am willing to accept any form of divine punishment. ”

When the Witch said this, Mel could only leave the three maids and follow him to the Witch. Before leaving, the Witch summoned the two Witches and told them to lay down their weapons and follow Mel with several clay pots and bowls.

Mel followed the witch, turning left and right, until he came to a building that looked like a small palace. Outside the main gate, there are two rows of witches, six people on one side, two each for the shrine maiden, the war witch, and the servant witch. There was also a long witch guarding the door, and when the long witch saw someone coming, she immediately greeted her.

The long witch who brought Mel and the long witch who guarded the door whispered a few words, and the long witch who guarded the door withdrew the twelve witches at the door, and then she opened the door without saying a word, and let Mel and his party in.

Upon entering, Maier is greeted by a deep corridor that runs left and right. The long shrine maiden asked the accompanying war witch to put the dyed pottery on the ground and let them out. After the war witches left, the long witches outside the door closed the door.

The Witch picked up the dyed pottery that the Witches had put down, and said to Myer.

"Please come with me."

Mel followed the shrine maiden down the corridor, turning five times in succession, each time turning to the right. After that, two wooden sliding doors stopped them.

The shrine maiden placed the dyed pottery on the ground and knocked respectfully on the door three times.

"Enter."

A lazy female voice came from inside the door.

After receiving permission, the Witch gently pulled open one of the sliding doors and made a "please" gesture to Myer. After walking for too long in a poorly lit area, Maier was blinded by the glare from the door. He shielded his palms from the light, squinted his eyes, and cautiously walked over. After adjusting to the light in the room, Mel found herself standing in a girly bedroom with an unusually large size.

On the large luxurious bed facing the sliding door, a beautiful girl was staring at him with deep eyes.
