Chapter Seventy-Three: Plans in the Temple
Two days later, Priest Weldon brought the good news. Bloodstained Grey players no longer have to stay in the small space of the Yorkshire Mariner. Instead, it was transferred to the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce in the temple of Walkerson.
Although it is still a restricted place to live, the living conditions are much better than when you were on a ship. After all, the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is not only the splendid construction, but also the extravagant furnishings inside. Although it cannot be said that the more extravagant furnishings can bring more comfort, after all, these things are sometimes more visually sensitive. But most of the time, these expensive furnishings are not the best ones to use. But it's usually not much worse - it's more heaven and earth than a cargo ship.
After washing away his exhaustion in the bathroom with alchemical potions, Barrett lay down on a fluffy velvet mattress. Feeling the touch of the dormitory as if it were floating in the clouds brought a smile to Barrett's face. During this time the use of canvas hammocks, the area was sleeping so that his spine was a little hard.
It's not just Barrett who behaves so 'humiliating', and the rest of the players are no better once they enter their respective rooms. For example, Lalu and the two ladies even trotted directly onto the soft couch. Then he rolled on the futon with his arms.
After a night of resting like this, Barrett turned into a shakespeare and knocked on Clematis. The door to Bote's house. The priest who pushed the door out had removed his old piece of chain mail and replaced it with the bounty robes characteristic of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce.
Seeing Barrett's strange expression, Claymatis. Bot couldn't help but glare at him: "You guy can laugh if you want to!" But don't forget, the reason I'm dressed like this is to better execute the plan you came up with. ”
"It's true that the same outfit helps you get closer to your peers." Barrett touched his chin and nodded. "I wanted to remind you about Rielly! I didn't expect you to be prepared. ”
"You don't look at who I am? Like the work that should be promised, I don't forget about it as soon as I have the opportunity to enjoy it, as some people do. "Speaking of which, Klematis. Bot raised his head quite first.
Look at the priest's garments sewn from fine silk, trimmed with fur, and decorated with precious stones and gold. Barrett narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then this aspect of the matter will get rid of you Clematis." By the way, how much does this outfit cost. It doesn't look cheap at all! ”
"The uniform price within the church is 250 gold. However, judging from its work and raw materials, it is still very worthwhile. "Claymatis. Bot stretched out his arm as he spoke, and then spun in circles in front of Barrett.
Barrett, who heard the offer, twitched his facial muscles slightly: "This is such a luxury!" ”
But that's just the dress that the ordinary clergy of the church had to prepare. Those with a little bit of status often need better clothing. If I hadn't invested a lot of money in the game, I wouldn't have had much of a chance to get around here! I knew that I probably shouldn't have chosen this church in the first place. "It seems that Claymatis, who was recalled by Barrett's words. Bot exclaimed.
Don't look at the equipment on the players, almost every piece of equipment costs more than Klematis. The outfit on Both. However, on the Western Continent, the meanings of these two are completely different. Equipment that can improve strength cannot be overinvested. On the contrary, this kind of expensive clothing, which has little effect except to reflect the interest of the organization, is considered by most people to be an unnecessary item.
And this idea is not only prevalent among the player community, but also becomes more radical in many cases - because the players are often more utilitarian than the natives. Like the kind of items that can't effectively improve their own strength, they are not cheap, and they have always been more repulsive.
Then Barrett smiled: "I didn't expect you to say that!" But don't most women like this kind of gorgeous clothing? ”
"Please! After we entered the game, we wanted to enjoy a different life. If you just want a gorgeous costume. Wouldn't I go home and rummage through my closet? What natural materials are there, hand-sewn clothes? "Klaimatis with his hands on his chest. Bot was a bit skewed at this.
Barrett stretched out his hand and patted his forehead: "Sure enough, there is a generation gap between our small people and you big ladies!" ”
"That's it! Don't be poor, tell me Lily, what's the name of the organization she's in now? "Claymatis. Bott asked, letting go of the arm on his chest.
"Don't you know?" Barrett really has a big mouth this time. He really didn't expect that a few people who had a good relationship would have problems in this regard.
Claymatis. Bot glared at Barrett again: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with us in the first place, since Lily didn't take the initiative to mention it to us, then why should we ask?" ”
"The name of that organization is the Garden of Mysteries, a medium-sized mage guild that isn't too tight." Barrett said this and suddenly reminded, "Remember to make sure that Rieli's advanced mission has been completed first. Otherwise, it would not be good to interrupt her task in a hurry. The statement given by Lalu when she went online was that it would take a few more days. But it's not too sure what day it is. ”
The Arcane Garden is not very well-known in the Western Continent, and they were originally called the Rainbow Garden. It is a small mage association that has developed from a mutual aid association of a group of iridescent apprentices. However, as the powerful advanced profession of the Rainbow Apprentice continues to attract attention in front of the world. The organization grew bigger and bigger. And with the increase in the number of people, the organization that was originally biased towards the school of protection. There are also a variety of casters in different directions.
Over time, the original Rainbow Garden became a bit unworthy of its name. When it became a medium-sized sorcery union, it took the opportunity to change its name to the Garden of Mysteries to show the world that it was a comprehensive mage organization. It's no longer the little hairy guy who specialized in the protection school in the past.
Of course, although this mage organization has some stations in the kingdoms of Norhan and Cruze, it is inevitable that they will have these interactions with the powerful factions in both countries. The Boreham family officially got in touch with them because of this, and after several collaborations, they got closer and closer.
"The Garden of Mysteries? When I was in Poitou before, there seemed to be a parishioner in the temple who mentioned this organization. The relationship between the two sides should not be bad. "Ke Klamatis. Bot then changed his voice. "But this is the Northland city-state, and it's not clear whether they'll be willing to go far."
"It's still a bit possible. The city-states of the Northlands have always been known as the Arcane Desert on the Western Continent. There's no mage organization here. So in terms of distance, the Garden of Mystery is not too much of a loss. It's just that there are still a few competitors. Speaking of this, Barrett paused, "I'm afraid the result depends on how many people the churches in the Seven Cities Alliance are ready to gather!" ”
"Then I'll ask. Let's hope it will work! "Claymatis. Bot passed Barrett as he spoke, and then stepped into the corner not far away.
"Then it's all up to you. Lady. Barrett, who turned around, immediately cheered up the pastor.
With Clematis. Bot disappeared into the winding passage. Barrett, having completed his work, returned to the room assigned to him. He felt in the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'. It's better not to make it too conspicuous when you are an outsider. After all, the players are still under semi-house arrest in name, and it would not be good if running around caused any rumors.
Immediately Barrett's Clematis. Bot soon found a working attendant in the passageway. So he stepped forward and asked, "Good day, parishioners!" Do you know that Priest Weldon is now in the temple? ”
The reason why he chose to go to Priest Weldon is because he is the most familiar person among the players in the Walkerson Temple. Moreover, he was previously appointed to deal with related matters, and his status in the temple was not too low. There are many things that even if he can't make his own decisions, he can be a conduit for players to send messages upwards.
Hear from Clematis. After Bot's gentle words, the service in front of him showed some nervousness. After all, in the temple of Walkerson, there was never a formal pastor who used the polite word 'please' to them.
These services are, in a sense, the pastor's reserve in the church. Among the aborigines, many businessmen arranged their children to take up this kind of work in the church, on the one hand, in order to bring themselves closer to the church. On the other hand, it is also an opportunity for them to learn in the temple.
You must know that in the Western Continent, the church has also carried a banner of education. It can be regarded as one of the most accessible educational channels for the common class. What's even more valuable is that it provides empowering knowledge. It's just that if you want to really become a pastor, you must not only be religious, but also your own qualifications must not be too bad.
Generally speaking, different churches have different requirements for service. However, for the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church, as long as you can afford the money, and you are not demented or look too sorry for the audience, you will generally be included. After all, as long as the ministry does not become a pastor, it is not considered a core member of the church, so it will not lead to structural bloat.
And in the midst of these ministries like the one in front of you. 5-10 people can produce a full pastor, which is not bad. So until they actually set foot on that step, they had no place in the temple. Priests don't call them around, though. But it's impossible to have good words. Of course, even if they can't make it to the priest and eventually leave the temple to serve, the experience of these years in the temple will often benefit them for life.
After taking a few breaths to calm his emotions, the hairy boy in front of him said, "Priest Weldon should be sorting out the accounts in the stone room to the left of the temple chapel now. If you don't know the way, Pastor, I can let you pass. ”
"Thank you then. Please lead the way! "After saying the Clematis. Bot made a gesture of please. Under the leadership of insiders, she quickly found the person she was ready to contact this time.
After knocking on the open door. Hearing the movement, Priest Weldon put down the papers in his hand. He looked up and saw that it was Clematis. Bolt immediately asked, "What kind of wind is it that actually blows you?" I finally got out of that hellish place, don't you need to rest for two more days? ”
"If we rest for so long, the gold will slip away from our eyes!" Speaking of which, Clematis. Bot walked into the room as if he were familiar. "So we are a little interested in what you have proposed, Catholics. Now that we're here, I wonder if you could tell us a little bit of information. ”
"The plan? I can't tell you what it is. However, the location has been determined, and it is the Iral Snow Mountain in our Northland city-state. Priest Weldon said as he got up and poured himself a drink, "But as I said before, whether this plan can be launched or not depends on the impact of the gunpowder smuggling case. ”
Hear this from Claymatis. Bot immediately cared about the case: "Our colleagues in Boreham should not have been involved in the previous incident!" ”
"We can finally rest assured of this. They are not directly involved, and those guys are now afraid that the entire cargo chamber will be arguing over the issue of compensation! Speaking of this, Priest Weldon smiled, "But your share will not be known until the dust has settled." ”
"In that case, isn't there no obstacle in front of that guy?" Claymatis. A smile appeared on Bot's face.
Priest Weldon shook his head: "It can't be said that there is nothing at all. After all, the number is too large this time, and the city hall wonders if there is some ulterior secret behind it. Therefore, our church has been restrained from a lot of forces to help with the investigation, and I am afraid that there will be no way to make that plan go from the scroll to reality in a short period of time.
