Chapter 4: The Temple of Arrogance

The hall of the farmer's house is not as lively as it was just now, and many low-level civilians do not have the ability to go to the hotel to consume, most of them order a few glasses of wine made of coarse wheat in their free time, and chat with others indiscriminately, and now that the wine is almost drunk, of course they are going home. Moreover, Acoste did not see the Talona believers anymore, and at the same time, he carefully noticed that the uneaten food on the table of himself and the others had already been emptied, and now they could not even bring those things as evidence of their crimes.

The streets of Psul are deserted at night, because this is not a bustling city in Amm, there are no oil lamps on the streets of Psul, and the lights of the residential buildings next to it have been extinguished, and the whole street is covered with a dead color under the cold moonlight.

There were several patrols of orcs and humans patrolling the streets with torches, but they didn't embarrass them, and after a few words of interrogation, they learned that the other party was going to the temple of the goddess of the earth and left on their own. Psul is the capital of food, and the priesthood of the goddess of the earth also has a part of abundance, and in this city, the patrol should not care about anything related to Purs, because the temple is obviously much larger than the city lord of Psul in the district of this place.

Passing through a few alleys, Acoste and the others soon reached the Earth Temple in the middle of the city, and they hurried to find the Templar who was guarding the door, asking them to bring out the bishop of the area.

"What, you still want to find the bishop? I'm sorry, it's too late, if there's nothing important, please come back tomorrow. The Templars of the Earth Temple squinted at Acoste, in fact, the priests of the Temple generally did not deal with the adventurers, they thought that the other party was a group of people who were greedy, timid, and had no faith, unless it was the Temple of Justice or the Temple of Dawn, and the Templars who clearly stated in their doctrine that they must treat everyone politely would be kind to the adventurers, and the other temple guards who were neutral in their good and evil were almost unapologetic.

"You'd better call the archbishop of this temple now, we have something important to tell each other, and if disaster happens, you won't have time to regret it." As soon as Ling heard that the other party was putting up a fight for herself, she immediately glared at the other party angrily, she didn't dare to tell the other party about the Talona believers, because it would involve the name of the god, and all the gods could hear the mention of their name in the mortal world, but most of those gods would choose to ignore it, because there are tens of millions of living beings on the Faren Continent, if every believer or enemy has to pay attention to it when mentioning his name, then the god will be exhausted to death sooner or later.

At the Farmer's House Inn, Acoste doesn't mention Talona's name at all, because the other party has 99amp; amp; Even if you hear it, you won't care, but it's different here, this is the temple of the earth goddess who is Talona's sworn enemy, and it is definitely the place where Talona's eyes are concerned, and if she easily says the other party's plan, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of that goddess. And the retaliation that comes with it.

"Hehe, who are you scaring about, don't let me know what you adventurers are thinking? Isn't it just that you are ready to bluff a little thing and then cheat the temple out of it? The Templar was not moved by Ling's words at all, but put his hand on the hilt of his sword demonstratively, "I advise you to go to the stupid pigs of the Temple of Fortune for this kind of thing, if you continue to entangle with me here, I will treat you as an invasion of the Temple." ”

"You !!" Ling was almost overwhelmed by the Templar's words, and the grumpy dwarf tried to take off his hammer to give the Templar knight a boost to his intelligence, but before they could have a seizure, a hand was placed on their shoulder.

"What gives you the courage to provoke us." Acoste's eyes looked straight at the Templar, and an aura like a sword coming out of its sheath emanated from Acoste's body and pressed directly towards the Templar. "Seeing the gap in our strength, do you think we still need to play such a low-level game with you?"

"Uh." The Templar Knight couldn't help but take a step back because of Acoste's momentum, and just as he was about to pull out his weapon, Acoste suddenly retracted his momentum, his face calm as if nothing had happened. He also kindly took out 10 gold coins from the space bag and stuffed them into the Templar Knight's hand, and patted the other party's shoulder in a friendly way. But the Templar was not relented by Acoste's kindness, and the sweat-soaked shirt on his back reminded him that it was not an illusion ahead.

"Don't move around here, I'm going to ask the Bishop." The young Templar immediately stuffed the gold coin into his arms, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand, and immediately ran towards the depths of the Earth Temple with a sentence, his embarrassed appearance was in great contrast to the arrogant appearance he had seen a few seconds ago.

"Phew, what a slut." Ling said a little dissatisfied, he obviously reasoned with him before, but the other party climbed the tree along the pole, and now Yacoster is intimidation and negotiation skills, Enwei and Shi He obediently went to report, and he knew that he should be fierce from the beginning.

"Don't worry, some people are like that." Yacoste comforted the sulking Oriental Maiji, he knows too well the urine nature of these people, generally these people who eat soft and fear hard are in the chaotic camp, they have no guidelines for their own behavior at all, to put it bluntly, the most effective way to deal with this kind of person is the stick and turnip policy, almost one is accurate, and although Dressya is neutral and good, but her druids and priests include all camps of goodness and neutrality, this method of widely absorbing believers has pros and cons, The biggest harm is that it is very easy to become a traitor, a rat poop spoils a pot of porridge, and there are brave and upright people among the believers of the goddess of the earth, and there are also people who are greedy for life and afraid of death like the Templar in front of them.

"Adventurer, may I ask what happened when you came to the temple of the Earth Goddess late at night?" After a while, the golden door in the temple was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man in a magic robe walked out, he frowned and looked at Acoste and the others, and there was a trace of impatience in Acoste's eyes for them disturbing his sleep, but he should have heard the report of the Templar, so there was no rude behavior on the part of Acoste.

"What I'm going to tell you is very important, let's go to the temple and talk about it, otherwise it will definitely be sensed by some being." Yacoste was also a little displeased, he obviously asked people to invite the bishop in the temple, but he didn't expect the other party to invite a priest to come and perfunctory himself, but fortunately, the priest's position in the temple is at least much higher than that of the Templar Knight, and he can be regarded as a kind of person who can speak.

"Oh?" The middle-aged priest couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Yacoste's words, if there is anything he must go to the temple to say, unless it is related to the true god, but how can an adventurer who has no faith have anything to do with the gods on the high, originally the middle-aged priest wanted to retreat from Acoste, but after seeing Acoste put his hand on the weapon on both sides of his waist, he swallowed his saliva and changed his mind, anyway, he has been woken up, so it is better to listen to what the other party has to say......

Inside the temple is a clay statue reinforced with spells, the gods of the earth goddess are mainly agriculture, crops, farmers, horticulturists, summer, the field is animals, earth, kindness, plants, protection, rejuvenation, so it is normal to use clay to make your own gods, the gods in these temples are not just decorations, they can contain the divine power of the gods, these divine powers can be used to protect the temple against foreign enemies, or it can also be used to isolate the perception of other gods.

As soon as they came to the statue of the god Azorya, Acoster immediately told the middle-aged priest what they had encountered with the Talona believers, but surprisingly, the middle-aged priest did not show a surprised or stunned expression after hearing this, but after Yacoste finished speaking, he said a few perfunctory words, and was about to turn around and walk towards the inside of the temple.

"Hey, are you listening carefully?" As soon as Ling saw the other party's absent-minded appearance, she couldn't help but want to rush up and grab the other party's collar, but Ling was dragged back by Acoster before she could run.

"Hehe, the half-elf is still your acquaintance, if you treat me disrespectfully inside the temple, I guarantee that you won't be able to get out of here at all, and actually said that there are believers of Talona in Psur, I think you are mentally handicapped, and you have nothing to do at night to amuse me?" The middle-aged priest didn't look back, but the very harsh words on his lips reached the ears of Acoste
