251. Gallo's Tangle
The purple diamond on the brochure looks crystal clear, uniform in color, and has never seen a purple color before, with a mysterious attraction that is particularly eye-catching.
What's more noteworthy is that this diamond is the size of a quail egg, and the shape is regular, which is in line with the most standard diamond shape that people think of as common sense.
But the introductory text next to it emphasizes that this diamond is only a rough stone, and has not been polished and carved in any way?
Nature's work?
Gallo muttered in his heart, searched his memories carefully, and finally remembered why he thought this purple diamond was so familiar.
The 'Flower of Hope' planted in the church garden also showed him a purple diamond.
The Flower of Hope came from the remains of the Star God Vessel, and after a failed sacrifice, it turned into a seed, and after being planted by Gallo, it sprouted quickly, and taught him the useless magic of surveillance.
Gallo thought of this, and hurriedly activated the monitoring magic to check the situation in the church.
In the garden, there was a cartoon-shaped bud, and Gallo tried to poke it with his eyes, and a dialog box popped up next to it, which contained a purple diamond pattern.
The surveillance screen in Gallo's eyes,The overall style of painting is cartoonish and Q Meng style,This diamond is no exception.,It looks like a product in an animation.,Or an icon in a game.。
The pattern on the auction brochure is a magical method to achieve a similar effect of taking pictures, and there should be no beautification or filters or anything, and the painting style is very realistic.
Therefore, the purple diamond in the manual and the purple diamond in the bubble frame have a huge difference in painting style, and they may not be the same thing.
But Gallo subconsciously felt that this should be the same thing.
This is his judgment based on experience on Earth.
In his memory, he was a priest on earth who called for wind and rain, went to heaven and earth, slayed dragons and demons, and saved the world, and often encountered all kinds of strange tasks and commissions, and in the mission description, you can see various cartoon-style icons to refer to specific mission goals.
For example, it is obviously a very ferocious dragon, but in the mission description, it uses a fat, fat, cute, and a little cute icon to refer to it.
This time, it seems to be the same?
According to past experience, should I find this purple diamond and bring it back to this flower of hope?
But what puzzled him was why this magic would present the hint in front of him in this way?
If you don't remember some things on Earth, you can't understand the hints of this style at all, right?
Gallo didn't delve into the question, for it was destined to go unanswered, and he went back to consider whether or not to buy the purple diamond.
The price of this purple diamond must have been quite high, as it appears on the back pages of the brochure.
According to the old bishop, the later things appear, the more expensive they tend to be, and if you want to buy it, you may have to bleed...
Luckily, it doesn't appear on the last three pages, indicating that it's not there yet.
Maybe it's because it's a rough stone, not a finished product?
The price difference between the rough and the finished product is likely to be dozens or even hundreds of times...
But the situation is still not optimistic, after all, this rough stone is too big, the color is too peculiar, it is still easy to cause bidding, and the money that Gallo has in hand is really not enough.
And he couldn't spend all his money on it, he had to buy a bracelet for Dud, a leg ring for Amiya, and a small gift for Lilian Luo.
In addition, you have to maintain the daily expenses of the church...
More importantly, he didn't know if it was worth the price.
Maybe the Flower of Hope doesn't want the rough stone? What else does that icon mean?
Maybe the Flower of Hope wouldn't be of much use with this rough stone?
It is more likely that if you buy the rough stone and come back, it will cause some undesirable consequences, which is really a big loss.
Gallo couldn't help but find himself in a paradoxical situation, his experience and intuition told him that he should buy, but reason told him that he should not waste money on something of unknown meaning, purpose, and ethereal.
This is a bit of a sense of entanglement when holding the salary that has just arrived, facing the ten-even gacha button...
In fact, in the final analysis, there is no money to harm, if the old bishop is a mine digging oil fields, still need to be entangled in this? Wouldn't it be better to buy it directly?
Gallo struggled for a while, and finally decided to make a simple and straightforward decision.
He knelt down on one knee in the direction of the church and prayed in a low voice:
"Miya-sama, do you want to buy this diamond?"
The goddess did not respond directly to him.
But it gives a hint.
The robe on Gallo's body automatically changed color, becoming golden and shiny, as if it were woven from gold leaf.
Gallo suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said:
"Miya-sama, I see what you mean!"
"You're telling me to take this robe and buy it, right?"
The goddess did not answer him.
But the little wooden hammer in his sleeve flew out of his own accord, giving him a blow to the head...
Gallo: (@?a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="9ff1df">[emailprotected])
"Oh yo oh, Miya-sama, I was wrong, you mean not to buy, don't be extravagant and wasteful, right?"
The little wooden hammer flew back into his sleeve.
Gallo breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this time, he had guessed the goddess's mind.
But the sea urchin necklace on his chest flew on its own...
Gallo: Σ(っ°Д°; )っ
"Alas, yo, alas! Miya-sama, I was wrong, buy, buy, buy, buy! Buy them all! ”
At this moment, the sea urchin necklace changed from the meteor hammer back to the normal necklace and returned to his neck.
Alas... It's hard to guess what a girl thinks, let alone a goddess?
Gallo went back to his room, found a few bank statements hidden in the closet, under the bed, and in the cracks of the drawers, and counted his current net worth.
More than 40,000 gold, which is really a lot...
"Keep the odds for daily use, and use the remaining 40,000 gold to buy things..."
"I don't know if it's enough..."
Gallo said with some distress.
This money, he originally planned to use to buy materials and arrange a set of super powerful enchantments for the church.
But since the goddess gave a clear hint, the matter could only be put on hold.
However, the inventory of the property also made Gallo notice that the bulk of it was the shopkeeper's enchantment buyout fee, and Lady Carola's enchantment layout cost.
It's basically earned by enchantments...
"If only more people as rich as Lady Carola came to me to set up an enchantment..."
He couldn't help but mumble something in a low voice.
At this time, Amiya next to him suddenly tugged on his arm.
As soon as Gallo turned around, he saw Amiya lift the hem of her skirt and pull out a money bag from it.
This money bag was given to her last time, and it contained the gold coins that Amiya had poured out of Mader.
Amiya has always been very rare about this private money, carefully hiding it, and even Gallo will not give it.
But right now, she was opening the money bag and pouring the dozen gold coins inside onto the table in front of the two.
Amiya tilted her head slightly, as if thinking and hesitating about something, and then reached out and tossed half of the gold coin in front of Gallo.
Meaning, divide your private money in half of Gallo?
But she blinked again, reached out again, and tossed half of the gold coin from her side.
In front of her, there were only three gold coins left...
Gallo watched the scene, speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that he did not speak, Amiya reached out a third time and tolerated two more gold coins to him.
On her own side, only the last gold coin remained...
"Amiya, you..."
Gallo said and stopped, feeling his heart melt.
Amiya turned her head to look at him, noticing that the expression on his face was still solemn, so she didn't hesitate to pick up the last gold coin in front of her for the fourth time and put it on Gallo's side.
The money bag for private money is completely empty.
But Amiya still carefully folded the money bag and put it away closely.
Gallo didn't know what to say at such a time, or even what kind of expression to use.
He just turned around and gave Amiya a big hug.
Amiya's blue eyes flickered slightly, revealing a little puzzle and doubt, and they looked like human eyes.
But she quickly recovered and returned a big hug to Gallo.
In the early hours of winter, the temperature should have been very low, but Gallo felt warm in his heart.
Even Amiya's slender body didn't seem so cold, as if it had body temperature.
But in the end, Gallo still didn't accept Amiya's kindness, but pushed the dozen gold coins back in front of her.
"It's okay Amiya, in fact, I'm quite good at making money..."
"You can save this money and buy something you like."
Amiya was slightly stunned, looked down at the gold coin in front of her, then looked at Gallo next to her, and then tilted her head and began to think about something again...
So so, after daybreak, Gallo went to the old bishop and told him what had happened in the early morning.
"Since the goddess has already given a hint, then we naturally have to implement it seriously."
"The money thing... You don't have to worry, if you really can't do it, I'll have a big deal to pull down this old face..."
The old bishop said very seriously.
Actually, if he wanted to, he only needed to write a few letters, one to Artanis, one to Carlos, and Lee, and the Witch Sect's side...
But Gallo was mistaken, and hurriedly persuaded:
"No, no, no! You can't be asked to borrow from loan sharks. ”
"Those people are all vicious!"
"It's not... I just..."
The old bishop was just about to defend himself, but Gallo quickly interrupted him:
"Do you want to mortgage the title deed here? That's not even better, it's a church we managed to get! ”
"Anyway, don't worry about this, just leave it to me!"
"No, I'm going to find Lady Carola..."
