Chapter 9: Temple Trivia
The aristocratic lady who received the response raised her head in surprise and looked at the statue in front of her whose eyes emitted a faint silver light, and bowed happily to the statue in front of her.
"Thank you, Lady Fate, thank you, Lady Fate!"
Then Noron received the news that Ellie had obtained a pale silver faith crystal, which showed that this noble lady was already a shallow believer of Ellie. Before leaving, she also cast a gold ticket with a face value of one hundred into the donation box in the temple, and then walked out of the temple gate with the unknown maid behind her.
'Very good Ellie, this is the first one, and the next two are ready to be called. ’
As the first day after the temple was officially established, some miracles were necessary, and Ellie's priesthood happened to be the most elusive fate, so Noron decided to let Ellie pick a few nobles or big businessmen, and help them with their future fate at the cost of divine power.
When Ellie's results were confirmed, the men would cry and shout that they wanted to become Ellie's followers, and would not hesitate to give them large sums of gold coins, just to let Ellie see her future fate and inform them.
Of course, at that time, if you want Ellie to help, you will have to charge, and no matter how much you have to earn back your own losses by five times or ten, right?
The second person who got Ellie's response was a businessman who often traveled from place to place, and he had been out of business for more than half a year, and he missed his beautiful wife and lovely daughters at home, so he planned to buy a few gifts for them after the sale was over. But the merchant didn't know if his family liked the gift he bought, so he came to the Temple of the Goddess of Fate to ask.
That's right, Nolong nodded, in fact, whether it is the temple of that god, most of the prayers received are such trivial things. In the continent of Lafia, even five or six-year-old children know how much they give in return, and those who want Ellie to tell them where they have money to pick up and refuse to put money in the donation box, Lori God will not look at them.
The merchant waved a thousand gold tickets with the same face before, and Noron asked Ellie to help him once, but the result made the merchant not very happy.
"Mortal, are you sure you have a daughter?"
What's the situation? The merchant was a little confused, and couldn't understand what this goddess of fate meant. But as a businessman, he soon had a bad guess.
The merchant was shocked, and it seemed that he and her wife usually had a good relationship. But in the end, after struggling with his wife, he still chose to believe in the gods.
So the merchant stood up from the cushion in front of the temple with a black face, and threw twelve golden tickets of the temple of the goddess of wealth with a denomination of one thousand into the donation box of the temple, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and threw the opal ring in his hand worth at least six thousand gold coins into it, and then knelt on the cushion in front of the statue again.
This time, the expression on his face was much more real than the deference he had just pretended.
"Please also tell me, the great goddess of fate, who is the true father of my two children." Despite his speculation, the merchant didn't want the answer that almost took his breath away.
Tsk, what a poor fellow,
Knowing from Ellie that the two daughters whom he had always loved and resembled him were actually born to his wife and his brother, the businessman's face was truly changing and wonderful.
In the end, although Noron didn't know what kind of storm the merchant would set off when he returned home, looking at his gloomy face through Ellie's eyes, I am afraid that this businessman with a lot of assets would not choose any friendly solution.
The third person who gets Ellie's response is our Lord of Rising Peaks, Lord Trik.
Due to the problem of the establishment of the temple and the adoption of orphans, Noron and Sally have also dealt with the lord of the castle several times, and yesterday the lord of the castle also sent someone to send a gift to celebrate the completion of the temple. As the lord of a city, Trik is not a good fit to be too close to a temple in the city.
But yesterday's arrival of the four main gods really startled Trek, and he quickly pondered if there was anything wrong with his attitude towards the new Earl Norlon. No, although Trik himself is a professional under the goddess of war, the lord of the castle came to this temple of the goddess of fate early this morning to pray.
If a practitioner under one deity prays to another deity, it is undoubtedly a blasphemy that requires the dethronement to be deprived. However, if the Goddess of Fate and the Goddess of War are allies, then the professions of the two sides are also considered to be in the same camp, and the act of praying to the gods of the other side is allowed.
So after carefully pondering the fate of the goddess of fate's priesthood, Cui Ke tentatively prayed silently in his heart: "Dear goddess of fate, my six-year term as the city lord of Xufeng City will soon come to an end, do I have a chance to become the next city lord of Xufeng City?"
That's a good question!
Norlong, who heard Ellie's transmission, couldn't help but feel admiration for the lord of the city, and he really deserved to be an old fox who could be the lord of the city.
"Ellie, this time you don't need to spend your divine power, just tell him that our Goddess of Fate God Department can help him in this regard, and let him meet with me later." ’
So the city lord who received the response showed a slight surprise, threw two hundred golden tickets into the donation box of the temple, and met with Noron in a temple ashram with a smile on his face, led by a white elf nun.
"See you again, Lord Trek."
At this time, Noron was wearing a temple master uniform made by Ellie herself, and next to him was another white elf wearing a white robe and silver-rimmed nun dress. A few months ago, the three white elves already knew who could control their future fate, and they were very obedient in learning the etiquette and customs of human society in the past few months, such as the black tea brewed by this white elf.
"Mr. Noron is really a good method, it must have taken a lot of thought to be able to find three white elves to come to the temple to do things, right?"
Receiving the black tea brought by the white elf, Trek, who was close to seventy years old, smiled at Noron with a hint of a man who understands.
"Everywhere, these white elves are pure children, who voluntarily defected to our temple from the distant Vennaran after learning about our goddess of fate."
Hehe, do you think I'll believe it?
But the incoming lord of the city has to believe it even if he doesn't believe it, who will let him ask for help?
So after some friendly negotiations, Noron agreed to say a few kind words to the eldest princess Sally and the eldest prince Bekelis, and with these two important people intervening, this time it must be no problem for Cui Ke to be re-elected as the city lord of Xufeng City.
But correspondingly, Trek also promised to help the Goddess of Fate develop followers without violating Plata's laws, and in principle approved the establishment of the Goddess of Destiny Temple Orphanage.
