As soon as she entered the temple of Di Bella, Flotra, who had always had a strong curiosity about the place, couldn't wait to wander around the hall and take a look. Not only Flotra, but for me the Temple of Di Bella is also a new place to visit.

After all, with the name of the Holy Spirit of Beauty, Di Bella's temple is more artistic than that of Akai or Ginares. In the four corners of the hall are conspicuously placed four life-size nude statues of women cast in gold, with their breasts and carcasses exposed, and their hands raised above their heads, in a very seductive pose. In addition, there is a six-petal golden lily wrapped around their graceful waists and stretching to the top of their heads to bloom, which adds a lot of color to the beauty.

Retracting our gaze from the nude statue, Flotra and I continued deeper into the interior of the Temple of Di Bella. In the center of the hall, four spicy-filled braziers surround a high platform with a two-metre-square octagonal pool surrounded by purple lavender, which exudes a refreshing aroma. Seeing us standing next to the pool and looking into the pool, a young lady dressed in a priestly costume of Di Bella walked in our direction.

"The pool is filled with the holy water of the goddess Dubella, and those who drink the holy water can receive the blessings of the goddess Dibela. However, not everyone is qualified to pray for the blessing of the goddess to come upon them. ”

Di Bella's blessing? What's that? After thinking about it a little in combination with my own experience, well, according to the priestess's explanation, if you can get Di Bella's blessing by drinking the "holy water" in the pool, the threshold is too low. The amount of power of this flood must have been a world away from the Gina Lace saplings on my body. So I didn't show much interest in it, but Flora listened to the priestess and was a little eager to try it.

"What do you need to drink holy water? Cumbersome rituals? Or do you contribute a certain amount of money? I asked the priestess on behalf of Flotra.

"Anyone who seeks the joy of life abhors red tape, and our temple is never short of generous believers," the priestess politely denied my conjecture and asked us a question, "Is it your first time?" ”

I nodded thoughtlessly and replied, "Well, of course it's the first time." This time I came to the temple of the goddess Di Bella to take her to experience. ”

The priestess glanced at Flotra, and her eyes became a little strange.

"She's the first time, and she should be right. Are you also the first time? ”

"Ugh. It's the first time for me indeed, is there any problem? ”

"Well, she's a little young, but she's not too young to be acceptable. Since you're all first-time. Then you do have the right to drink holy water. ”

The priestess's remarks left me a little confused. But I didn't have time to think about the deep meaning of the words. The priestess had scooped up two portions of holy water from the pool with a silver cup. Handed it to me and Flotra respectively. Seeing that Flora was pleased to drink the holy water containing the scent of Di Bella, I also poured this cup of vanilla-flavored transparent liquid into my stomach, not knowing what kind of effect this so-called "holy water" can bring to people.

"It will take a while for the holy water of the goddess to work." The priestess took back the silver cup and directed us to the staircase in the back court, "Come with me now, and I'll arrange a room for you." ”

Ha? Arrange a room? What does this mean? For the sake of the friendliness of the priestess's face and tone, I did not have any doubts, and led Flotra after her down the stairs to the bottom of the hall.

"This is it, you can see if there are any other requirements."

The priestess opened a door. The room is equipped with beds, desks, wardrobes, dressers and other furniture, and the quality is quite high-end, just like a private bedroom. The priestess meant that she wanted us to stay here for one night for free?

"By the way, are you guys a hotel?" I asked the priestess about my doubts.

"You're underestimating us, we're much more upscale than a hotel," the priestess smiled, then took a box from her body and handed it to me, "Take it, and savor the pleasures of the goddess." ”

"Uh...... Xie Lu Xie. ”

Is this box a tourist souvenir of the Temple of Di Bella? But before I could ask the question, the priestess closed the door and left.

"What did she bring us here for?"

"I don't know," Florella shook her head in confusion, "though I used to be a prophet of Di Bella, but today I am here for the first time, and I know nothing about everything in the temple. ”

"Hmm...... Let's probably rest here for the night, and then attend some ceremony tomorrow morning. ”

……

We always have to find something to do before the break comes. Flotra fiddled with all the fine decorations in the house, and I walked over to the bookshelves and began to look for books of interest.

At first glance, "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me", "The Domineering President's Night Joy", "The Domineering President's Sweet Wife" ...... What kind of mess is this? After opening a book casually and flipping through it curiously, I found that not only the title of the book, but also the content of the book is very frivolous, what "evil smile", what "you abrasive little goblin", what "you say no, but the body is very honest", these contents can't be read at all for people with low shame like me.

Looking back nervously at the dresser, and seeing that Flora was playing with a music box without noticing me, I quickly shoved the uncontrollable novel back and began to look for a serious book again.

After a while, I finally found a book that stood out from the rest. Whew, it's quite troublesome to filter out a book without "president" in the name from a bookcase, and I hope the content of this book will be worth the effort I spent digging through it.

"Full of energy...... Argonians ...... Maid? And, it seems like a script? ”

I flipped to a page and began to read.

"Tail cocking: Your Majesty, I'm very ...... I'm very sorry......"

"Taber. Cyptin: Oh, my dear little angel, it's all right. I've asked my court mages these days, but alas, they can't get my sword upright, so I don't have the strength to use it through the wet reed swamps. The Empire needs your help! ”

"Tail cocking: I don't know how to help you...... Why don't you go to the hostess? She's a qualified blacksmith. ”

"Taber. Septin: No crucible is forever pure, and no furnace is forever burning! ”

"Tail Warped: You're the Emperor of Tamriel, and I'm just a little lizardman maid......"

"Taber. Septin: No, you're not just a maid, I can feel the familiar beating of the fire. Come, bend your waist and let me melt in your crucible! ”

"Voiceover: A few hours in 'Oh...... Tabor' and 'Your beating is hotter than the orcs' cries passed. ”

"Tail cocking: (deep breathing)...... Your sword is sharper than your brother...... More penetrating...... If only you could be as brave as a Nord lancer like your son! ”

……

Restless, I forcibly stuffed this "Energetic Argonian Maid" back. Well, it seems that the book here is unreadable, and I wonder how the priestess of the Temple of Di Bella has such a strange taste.

What's next? By the way, it occurred to me that the priest hadn't given me a box. I opened the box, and it contained two seeds with a red mesh skin and a strange fragrance. I sniffed the smell and looked at it for a while, and then I could barely recognize the variety of seeds. This seems to have been imported from Eswell or Black Marsh? I remember seeing something like this at the Tiger Man caravan.

As for the role of nutmeg...... Nutmeg seeds are said to contain ethers that act as stimulants and hallucinogens. Speaking of hallucinations, I immediately thought of Namira's decay, and Aiola had told me that by ingesting this fungus, I could communicate with the Corrupt Lady in hallucinations, so would the nutmeg seeds that Priest Dibella gave me have a similar effect?

"I ...... I'm feeling a little sick. ”

While I was guessing, Flotra's soft whisper caught my attention. (To be continued......)
