Chapter 749: Merchant
When order gradually regained and Mary stopped stealing and looting like a robbery, she decided to do something serious. That's right, just follow Bran's advice and provide shelter for all kinds of merchants.
It's just that the shelter she provides is quite special, and it can even be called brazen.
For Mary, there are some faults that can't be changed, and she doesn't plan to change them. In her own explanation, there are a lot of little monsters in the hands of the old lady who are used to steal and explore, but there is no sacrifice that can preach, what do you still want the old lady to do?
What to do?
Bran didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, and the others had their own things to do, so they went with her.
So Mary, who had received her acquiescence, scattered the little monster in her hand, and sent a message to all the merchants she could meet, that from this day forward you would accept my protection.
As a real person, Mary always thought that faith was too vain, and that the way she accepted the offering was very simple!
Not surprisingly, this kind of real pain to the merchant was immediately resisted. It's not that they're reluctant to make money, it's that they don't feel worth it.
In this age of gods, it's not unacceptable to worship a god who comes to your door, but at least it has to be expressed, right? Even if it's an empty comfort or an unkeept-free promise, they'll pinch their noses and admit it. But this kind of coming up requires money, and it is the first time that God has heard of anything else.
Mary's method of dealing with it is simple, don't you want to, right? Then you just wait to lose something, and what is worth losing something.
Unexpectedly, I met a few people who asked for money and didn't want to die, and followed the ass of the little monster into the netherworld.
Belch!
Just as I had expected when I dug the pit, the sudden appearance of a stranger immediately became the focus.
......
"Fuller" was one of those unlucky guys, who was stared at like a monster by a group of monsters, and his first reaction was to be trapped......
As one of the richest people in the area, he was very close to his own belongings, so after hearing that some people's homes had been stolen one after another, he began to be cautious.
The result of this precaution is to keep the burglars close at midnight.
Originally, he didn't have to do this kind of thing by himself, but after watching for a while, he still couldn't hold back. It's not that he is still hot-blooded, it's purely the idea of beating the water dogs.
After looking at the periphery for a long time, I can see some doorways. The thief in front of him is as slippery as a loach, difficult to catch, but not a threat. has been chased and beaten until now, and there has been no counterattack. Also, the tightly wrapped body was as thin as a child, and defenseless.
Nor can it be said that the thief was unarmed, and the piece of gold that was caught in his hand in a hurry never let go. If the thief had something else in his hand, he might have hesitated, but what about gold......
So he seized the opportunity, and suddenly jumped into the door and kicked viciously. Perhaps he didn't expect that an old rich man like him would end up in person, so this kick was quite strong. The gold, which had been held tightly by the thief before, also stumbled and flew away.
However, this kick seemed to annoy the thief, and he let out a beast-like roar, causing the crowd to pause the pursuit in astonishment. He broke out of the encirclement before everyone could react, and quickly walked away in the shouting and chasing.
Seeing this, Fuller couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and walked towards the gold left on the ground. Just as he leaned over, someone picked up the gold first and let out a smug smile at him.
The thief went and returned.
Fuller didn't think about it, but subconsciously lunged towards the thief, not noticing that a vague circle of light appeared in front of the thief......
After a whirlwind, he appeared in the judgment hall and became a wonder to be watched.
......
Even the first time he entered the Netherworld, Fuller immediately realized where it was.
For some reason, he just knew. A thought then came to his mind! Looking at the thief beside him, he couldn't help but itch his teeth with hatred.
Unfortunately, the root of the tooth did not itch for long. Before his eyes, the thief's cloak dissipated like smoke, revealing his true face. Then he smiled at him and walked away.
At this time, Fuller really wanted to cry without tears.
At this time, he didn't dare to move, and he couldn't move. Some kind of power had imprisoned him, and his body seemed to be an empty house, and he was the one who lived in it. He could see and hear the door, but he couldn't get to the door anyway.
Soon, a huge two-headed hound walked up to him and opened his bloody mouth. And he fainted in extreme fright.
When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he was curled up on the cold ground, and the previous confinement was gone. He subconsciously said to himself, "Am I dead?"
High up, a voice full of majesty answered him: "Not yet, at least not yet." I guess you already know where this is, right?
Don't be afraid, the asylum I promised is still valid, and of course you can still say no. ”
Fuller was taken aback, and immediately guessed who the owner of the voice was, so he began to quibble: "I didn't refuse, I just need a little time to think about it." ”
"Huh
There really is no need to be afraid, let alone quibble. I can't do anything to you, just like I can't drag the living directly into the netherworld. Of course, it's a different story for someone like you who entered voluntarily.
In fact, death is not so terrible, and devout believers can enter the kingdom of God and enjoy the beauty they expect. From another point of view, death is the key to entering the kingdom of God, so there is no need to change your original intention because you are afraid. It's just that before you do that, you need to ask yourself, are you a devout believer?"
Fuller's lips opened and closed several times, but he couldn't say a single word: "......"
"No wonder other gods give up on you, it's a failure. There are so many gods coming down that none of them can move you.
Terrible!
But isn't that a kind of piety, a devotion to wealth, a devotion to money, that's why I'm going to let you offer it in another way.
It's a pity that you refused. ”
Fuller complained bitterly, which was not what he said at the beginning. Moreover, who knows whether what happened after death is true or not? It was all said by those sacrifices, and no one confirmed it.
Then a flash of inspiration quickly said in a sincere tone peculiar to a businessman: "Please forgive me for my ignorance and misunderstanding of your goodness and greatness.
I am willing to go back and offer my piety. ”
"Huh
Don't worry, you can wait until you go back, if you can go back.
This is the Netherworld, and it has its own rules, and even I can't break them at will. Thankfully, the rules aren't perfect, but they're a bit costly. ”
Fuller hastened to say: "I do, no matter how high." ”
"That's a lot of money. ”
As soon as he heard that it was money, Fuller relaxed: "Money is just something outside the body, and it is insignificant. ”
"Oh
It's still good to have some weight, otherwise you really won't be able to go back. Saying that, a balance appeared in front of Fuller, "Just pay as much gold as yours, and then you can return to the world." ”
"Uh......"
"What, you want to regret it?"
Fuller said in a trill, "No, but I don't have that much ......"
In the middle of the conversation, Fuller immediately sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly changed his words: "I need time to raise, yes! Just give me some time.
When you invest in me, I will definitely return to you a thousand times......"
Pleas, promises, and money poured out of Fuller's mouth......
Either way, the pleas and promises worked, otherwise he would not have been able to return to the world. It's just that those vows made in the underworld have been imprinted in the depths of the soul.
Under the influence of the imprint, Fuller began to run for the oath. The experience in the underworld led him to believe, but not in the goddess of wealth, but in money. Because money can exchange faith from the hands of God and can escape from the netherworld, then what money can't do?
