Chapter Eighty-Four: The Potential Problem of Clematis

"What exactly do you have to worry about in this regard? Have you forgotten where we live now? Noodle, who had been silent for a long time, finally began to show his presence, "I don't think the Boreham Chamber of Commerce will ever fool us with this kind of thing again!" ”

The biggest problem in the sale of doghead gold is the determination of its gold content. Because each piece of gold is unique, the gold content of each piece needs to be measured individually. In addition, the difference between internal cavities and semi-biotic minerals will also affect the judgment of the final result.

In this case, in order to avoid risks, most merchants will naturally choose a more conservative estimation method. Because this kind of estimation is all judged by heart, many profiteers tend to play tricks in this aspect. In fact, many adventurers have suffered a lot in this regard.

"I think it's better for Klaymatis to bring back the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church to handle it." At this point, Barrett looked thoughtfully at the pastor in front of him, "I think you should be able to get us the right price." ”

Claymatis. Bot smiled and asked, "Barrett, you need to be clear, the church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' I belong to is profit-oriented. Even in my capacity, it doesn't affect much. So the price may be much lower than selling to the Boreham Chamber of Commerce! ”

"I think guys should be mentally prepared for this kind of thing." Speaking of this, Barrett paused, "This mandatory task of noodles should really be a wake-up call for a few of us." The issues that we neglected should now be re-emphasized. I think Clematis, pastor of the Goddess of Wealth and Business, should have a similar monthly contribution routine! I don't think you want your companions to make a mistake in this regard! That would affect Clematis's future development in the church. ”

Hearing this, Clematis. Bot, how could he not know Barrett's intention of handing over those dogheads to himself to deal with! At this time, she was seen through her previous thoughts, and lowered her head a little embarrassed: "In that case, then I will thank you a lot." In fact, if I can still hand over all the loot that I can't get to deal with as before, I don't have to worry about contributing tasks every month. It's just that there aren't any useless items that I need to take care of during this time. So after seeing the mandatory tasks that Noodle had to face, I realized that I had to do something about it. ”

The main purpose of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce is to make money and promote business. Clematis as a member of the Church. Inevitably, Bot also needs to run around these things. Judging from her current identity and strength, as well as her life of running around with her companions. Promote the task of business. It can't be Clematis's turn. Bot intervened.

So the only thing left is to make money for the church - which is the main job of most members of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church who have been granted the status of a visiting pastor. In the first few adventures, players gave Claim a lot of loot that they didn't need. Bot processing.

Of course, at that time, this was a mutually beneficial business behavior for Shuangfa. Because of Clematis. Some of these items can often be sold for much fairer prices than the outside world in the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. Of course, the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce', which has its own channels, has also profited a lot. And Clematis. Naturally, Bot's quota was also completed.

However, after reaping the amazing results from the relics of the old empire, players chose the auction channel in order to maximize the exchange for the curiosities they needed. Since then, perhaps because the strange object has improved its own strength and vision, the player's harvest has also been higher - often the harvest can be exchanged for the items they need.

And like those cheap loot that is inconvenient to carry in the process of suppressing bandits, unless there is a special person to deal with it. Otherwise, players don't plan to carry so many high-cost things. This makes Clematis. This was the end of the monthly tasks that Bot needed to accomplish.

Originally, she didn't seem to care too much, but the mandatory tasks that the halfling wanderer needed to complete immediately seemed to wake her up from her sleep. That's why she took the initiative to ask about the disposal of the loot just now, in order to prevent herself from falling into a situation like noodles.

"I think it's been a long time since that auction!" Claudia who suddenly spoke up. Auditore couldn't hide his worry on his face, "With these dogheads alone, will you really be able to fulfill your quota with Clematis?" ”

Hearing this, Clematis. Bot acted a little helpless, "How do you know if you don't try it?" As long as you can complete some of them, you can at least delay the arrival of the mandatory task. In that case, we should have more opportunities to find the right solution. ”

"Clematis, don't behave so negatively! Don't forget where we are now? It's 'Ulrique' here! It was the most prosperous city of the Norhan Kingdom and the most important commercial hub in the eastern and western parts of the kingdom. At the same time, it is also an important trade node for the foreign exchange of the Kingdom of Lucia. Barrett raised an eyebrow at this. In such a commercially developed city, do you think that the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is willing to act as a financial institution only as a bank? ”

"Barrett, you're right!" The Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce is absolutely involved in the business of Ulrique. Whether it was the operation of the caravan or the lucrative workshop, they had no reason to let it go. Speaking of this, Rielly touched her chin and nodded, "As long as these exist, we won't be able to find missions related to the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church at all." I think as long as you complete one or two, Clematis, your current troubles will be solved. ”

Speaking of this, Rieli paused suddenly, and then looked at Clematis. "I don't think the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church would be so rigid that it wouldn't allow this way to replace direct money transactions!" ”

Clematis who was asked like this. Bot was stunned for a moment, and then his little face wrinkled: "I really haven't noticed this aspect!" Whether there is a problem or not, I still need to go to the temple to resource it. ”

"There shouldn't be any problems! This kind of behavior of ours can be more or less classified as promoting business. Barrett, who was watching the play, was also under Riehlly's fierce gaze at this time. Joined the discussion.

Rieli, who had Barrett's support, immediately struck while the iron was hot: "If you still have any doubts, tomorrow we will go to the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' in 'Ulrique'." Anyway, the 10 days of 'vacation' Barrett had received from the Malkin steward are now a few days left! ”

"Wait! If you want to go to the temple tomorrow, the most you can do is ask for it. Hearing this, Barrett hurriedly reminded, "Don't forget our main energy now. It is still necessary to focus on the regional tasks at hand. ”

"Got Barrett! We will not let that delay us in this regard. At this point, Rielly looked at Barrett, "Why don't you come with you tomorrow?" As our captain, you will have more contact with the factions to which your teammates belong. Wouldn't it also help you get more control over the overall situation? ”

"Listening to what you say, if I don't go, it seems really inappropriate!" Barrett looked at the mage in front of him with a wry smile, no matter how you look at the other party's approach, it looks a bit like forcing the palace!

Early the next morning. The blood-stained gray flowers left the mansion and went to the temple area. I have to say that the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is extremely recognizable from any place, and the high-level fountain inlaid with gold and silver in front of the door is really too eye-catching.

The subsequent building has a wide nave with vaults covered with statues and decorations. The original side aisles were replaced by two rows of small prayer rooms on both sides. A dome rises in the middle of the golden coin. The altar of the church is richly decorated and free. The mountain flowers on it are iconographed and decorated with light. None of the components are made of the finest materials, and the church is not spared with the use of precious stones - it is arguably the most coveted building by the dragons.

Players with the overall impact began to approach the doors of the temple. The main entrance is layered with eaves and mountain flowers to make overlapping arcs and triangles, and leaning columns and flat pilasters are used on both sides of the gate. Two pairs of large cartouches were made on both sides of the upper part of the faΓ§ade. None of the carvings seem to be perfect, and it seems that there is no concern about the cost of labor.

In front of the two temple guards at the door, Klematis. Bot directly showed his holy emblem. After a slight confirmation from the other party, the two temple guards let them go directly. He didn't ask much - although the temple was full of lavish decorations inside and out, beneath the surface of the decoration, the whole temple was actually an impregnable fortress, as strong as the treasure houses owned by many kings.

So the two temple guards weren't actually worried about what the player would do to the detriment of the church after entering the temple. Because that kind of behavior is self-defeating in a sense. Perhaps there have been problems in the temples of other churches, but all the large temples of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce have not been breached in nearly a hundred years.

It is also by virtue of strong security capabilities. The temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' has the ability to provide merchants with the capital of escrow services. In addition, worshippers could rent one of the temple's halls for lavish banquets, a useful means of impressing potential future trading partners or competitors.

Players who walk into the temple will find that the plane of the temple in front of them is similar to that of an olive, and there are some irregular small prayer rooms around it; In addition, there is a living courtyard. The plane and ceiling decoration of the hall emphasize the dynamic curve, the mountain flowers on the faΓ§ade are disconnected, the eaves are horizontally curved, the wall is very concave and convex, the decoration is rich, and there is a strong light and shadow effect. Although the design technique is skillful, it can inevitably give people a sense of artificiality.

the wave-like walls and the ever-changing fountain in the center of the temple; There are also characters depicted as either energetic or moving, all of which give people a strong and dynamic visual impact. At the same time, the artificial light that is not natural under these ingenious designs is formed. It also creates a dramatic atmosphere.

It creates a space with a sense of three-dimensionality, depth, and layering. At the same time, it also causes the outline line to be blurred, and the composition is organic and has a sense of wholeness. This pursuit of dramatic, exaggerated, perspective effects. Coupled with the boundaries between different art forms, the architecture, painting, sculpture and other art forms in the temple are integrated.

It can be said that those interspersed with curved surfaces and elliptical spaces. On the one hand, it has a stronger emotional appeal and shock, and on the other hand, it is eye-catching, showing off the wealth and power of the church - in a word, the atmosphere of local tyrants and nouveau riche, it can be said that it is rushing towards you. This made Noodles, a halfling wanderer who had never seen much of the world, feel like he was about to suffocate. Rieli, who was on the side, thought that Noodle's performance was a bit embarrassing, so she couldn't help but give him a kick.

Not long after entering the hall, a member of the church in a silk shirt came to the players: "Do you have any needs to come to my lord's temple?" ”

At this time, Clematis, who was a half-landowner. Bot immediately took on the task of communicating with both sides: "Catholics! Greetings to Pastor Both. ”

"Visiting priest?" The church member in leather sleeves and booties looked Clematis up and down. Bot then nodded and said, "Hello Bot parishioners! I'm Pastor Brand at the Ulrike Temple. Since you have your leadership, then I will retire first. ”

Wait until the Reverend Brand leaves. Reaching out and rubbing the noodles on his buttocks, he whispered, "Guys! Don't you think there's something strange about the pastor's behavior just now? ”

"You haven't seen this feeling in any other temple! This is something that can only be found in the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' in the big cities. "Claymatis. Bot pressed his eyes, "That's because you've been considered potential customers of the temple from the moment you entered the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' in 'Ulrik'. So soon there will be people from the church insiders coming to receive them. Of course, after hearing my introduction, you can now be said to be my customers! So he had to leave in disgrace. Of course, I don't know if the other party has any plans to poach. (To be continued.) )
