Chapter 229: Helena, the Golden Messenger

It didn't take long for the banquet to finally begin, the lights flickered, the music played, and everyone led their dance partners to the center of the venue.

The opening dance has always been an indispensable part of a large banquet.

If Sherlock can dance, the answer is, of course, no, but fortunately, his dance partner can't either, and the two half-elves hold hands and seem to be toddlers.

"Millu, look at how formal you are, you don't know how to dance."

"Do you expect a girl who grew up in a tavern to do this ballroom dance that only high society needs to learn?" Mirlou made a mistake and stomped on the incomprehensible adventurer.

"But by the way, you really don't have the talent to be a mage?" Sherlock, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, immediately diverted the subject.

In fact, from the very beginning, he had noticed that the bottom of the hem of the other party's red dress had always been in the air, maintaining a distance of almost an inch from the ground, and it was really hard for people to believe that she had no talent for spells.

"I'd like to have it, too, so that I don't have to spend my life in a broken tavern and end up marrying a tailor or a carpenter or something, but the truth is that I was probably born to be a tavern maid."

When Millu said this, the kind of grief Sherlock was very familiar, probably helpless in the face of fate.

Many things are not achieved by hard work, and it may be okay in real life, but in the magical background of the Forgotten Realm, an ordinary person who wants to fight against fate really needs the protagonist template.

"Actually, the tavern is good, and there is nothing wrong with tailors and carpenters, isn't that how life is?"

"You're an adventurer, you don't have the right to say that." Mirlu choked and didn't continue, she didn't know what was going on today, looking at all this in front of her, the desire in her heart kept surging like boiling hot oil.

Sherlock's sudden mood changes in women are always grouped into one place, so he does not continue the topic without interest, but talks about what he has seen and heard in the Supreme Forest and the Far Star Lake.

After the opening dance, it was the main theme of the banquet, and Helena began to meet the participants one by one after giving a speech.

This order is probably related to the importance, the ocean is seventeen entered, and it took half an hour before he walked out with an excited face, if he hadn't seen the ink book words also entered, he thought that the two had a great deal.

After about two hours, it was Sherlock's turn.

"A half-elf couple, the invitation is 100,000 bearer cards, I don't know what you are spending this lot of money to find me." A beautiful woman asked, sitting on a couch.

A gold-trimmed jumpsuit, a gold-plated red cape, black boots encrusted with gems, white gloves, and a gold-plated scepter are the standard outfits of the high-ranking members of the Holy Coin Sect.

As followers of the goddess of wealth, they could not curb their passion for gold, and the more gold ornaments they wore on them, the higher their status in the church.

"Honorable Emissary, Lady Helena, I am a harpist from the Supreme Forest."

The different levels of the Holy Coin Sect also have different titles, the highest is the current Bishop of the Holy Coin and the spokesperson of the goddess, Salenda Oriam, and the next is the Shangjin Messenger who is second only to the Bishop.

Helena is one of the top five emissaries and one of the candidates for the next bishop.

"Oh, it's the Supreme Forest again, shouldn't you have also gotten the token of the goddess?"

"Not really, but I'm sure you've heard about the events of Cape Aske, where the incarnation of the Demon Lord Grazt has been summoned, and chaos will come again."

The token of the goddess must be the earrings that the flowers got that year, and it can be seen from the excited expression of the ocean just now that they should have made some great discovery, so it stands to reason that his request should not be refused.

"Aren't you harpists flaunting justice, such a good opportunity to save the world, how can you still have time to chat with me." Of course, Helena had known everyone's origins and demands in advance, and at this time, she purely wanted to tease this secondary organization that had caused her a lot of trouble.

To be honest, although the trade of the Goddess of Wealth is to promote the progress of civilization through trade and bring happiness to all intelligent beings, in fact, the Cult of Sacred Coins is not a profit-seeking organization, and the rules within the Church are as hypocritical and cruel as Drow's society.

As a result, the merchants of the Holy Coin Cult have clashed with the Harpist League more than once during the course of trade.

"It is our mission to maintain order on the continent, and we are not afraid to sacrifice for it, but this time, the participation of forces such as the Drow clan from the underground, the evil Santarin Society, and the bloody church of Marat have made all plans troublesome."

In fact, as long as he made a request and involved Grazt, the demon lord, under the rules of the system, Helena would agree in one go.

Now that he had said so much, he was just improving the completion of the mission, and finally he told the story of the Santarin Society's plan to subvert the city of Noisy Water.

"How do you know something so important?" Helena actually knew the previous information, and she hadn't received the news of this last one yet.

"I accidentally discovered a stronghold of the Santarim Society near the trade road leading to Locketown, and there is a dark elf in it performing some kind of evil ritual ......."

After listening to Sherlock's description, Helena fell into deep thought.

She and the other four have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years for the position of the bishop of the Holy Coin Sect, but they still have not decided the winner, and it is difficult to deal a blow to others in terms of economic strength.

Now this opportunity is rare, although the force behind the previous pair of adventurers is not small, but it is impossible to complete that task in a short period of time, if there is a harpist alliance to stir up the situation, the situation may be much better, and the price is only a small material.

If he can really deal a serious blow to the dark lord in the end, his influence in the church will be greatly enhanced.

Even if the mission fails, it will be an opportunity to form a relationship with the arrogant harpists, and perhaps form an alliance.

"Adventurer, you are not a very good lobbyist, but fortunately, your reasons are sufficient, I will send someone to the Supreme Forest to discuss the specific situation, as for the conspiracy of the Santarin Society, you and I don't need to bother, this is the problem that Nannaslo should face."
