Chapter 56: 'Fortune Camp'
"Why are you so worried? For now, let's head to the temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce and see what missions are available. Even if it's a headache, it's after that! Looking at the frowning companions in the room, Barrett couldn't help but reach out and pat his head.
Claymatis. Bot immediately stood up and chimed in: "That's right! I still want to go and see it. Perhaps with a bit of luck, we will be able to find the right task for our current situation. β
"I remember that the teachings of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' do not prohibit doing things with money! When the time comes, I'll have some blood and ask the priests here to help recommend one. Barrett said, touching his chin.
The dwarf who heard this frowned, and then stretched out again: "But Barrett, do you have any experience in bribery?" I'm afraid we're still a little unfamiliar with this kind of behavior! β
"Anvil, don't talk so badly, okay. We call this the cost of tackling the problem, and according to the teachings of our Lord, this money can be given in a fair and honest manner. That's part of the deal in itself. "Claymatis. Bot glanced sideways at the dwarf, clearly disagreeing with his claim. Then she turned to Barrett and said, "I'll leave this matter to me, I think I'm a little talented when it comes to bargaining." β
"So what are you waiting for! Let's hurry to the temple now! "Claudia who rested for two days. Auditore was already a little eager to take the plunge. I really can't see it at all, she couldn't get out of bed yesterday because she was drunk.
But at this time Clematis. Bot actually hesitated: "The temple is definitely going to go." But there is more than one temple in the territory of Boreham. Aside from the nearest temple in the city, the one in Morby Hangang was larger than the one in the city. Which do you think we should go to? β
The church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business' that some people see as coppery. Always prefer to place your shrine in an area where commerce is developed. Especially in a commercial node like Boreham, there are 5 large and small temples located in it. As one of the most important deep-water harbors in the northwest of the continent, the temple in Morbihan Harbor is even larger than that of Poitu, the main city of the territory. It's also more magnificent.
"I think it's better to choose the city. Although it is less than an hour away, I always feel that the priests of Morby Hangang have a much better appetite than Poitou. "Barrett still has some understanding of the clergy of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'.
Claymatis. Bot was still hesitating: "But the bigger the shaman, the greater the authority." Although the price may be more expensive, the service content they can provide is also better. β
"Clematis, do you think you really need that high authority to be able to choose your mission?" Barrett immediately expressed his skepticism.
Knowing that there are some things that can't be forced, Clematis. Bot immediately compromised: "Then go to the temple in the city and have a look." β
Although the city of Poittu has been expanded several times, it is still at its current level of population and economy. It's completely incomparable to the real metropolis. Therefore, in terms of floor area, it is also much smaller. Coupled with the fact that the player's temporary residence is relatively close to the city center, it doesn't take much time to get to the temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce.
The temple in front of the players is as glorious as ever. Even from afar, you can immediately feel a nouveau riche atmosphere. With Claymatis. Bot's identity, the players easily crossed the front desk of the temple and entered the relatively core area.
After greeting the trainee in charge of the reception, the players begin to wait in the reception room for the priest to arrive. Sit on a soft velvet cushion. This woolen product is laid on walnut wood. It's very comfortable for players - they haven't enjoyed this treatment in a long time in the game.
The lighting in the reception room is quite good. Located on the second floor, it looks out of a floor-to-ceiling glass window near a wall, directly facing a small square not far from the town hall. Guests who are bored (such as the current players) can pass the time by looking down on the busy citizens in the small square.
In a sense, it seems to give the guests a sense of psychological satisfaction β especially for the nouveau riche who just got rich but didn't get the status to match.
At the same time, the unobstructed sunlight poured into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Carefully planned at the beginning of construction, the glass wall is flooded with natural light and is not exposed to direct sunlight all year round. This makes the light bright and not glaring.
Under such lighting. The slightest change in the faces of the guests was revealed in front of the members of the church. If you change to an occasion with slightly worse lighting. Subtle expressions like that are most likely to be obscured. Of course, such an environment is also a double-edged sword, if the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business' receptionists are not able to be happy and angry, it will also allow others to guess what you are thinking.
However, in most cases, the professionally trained old foxes and young foxes of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business' are still able to take advantage of ordinary people to some extent. Even if there is an occasional accident, there is still something to be gained by relying on big data to win.
"I didn't expect that the interior layout of the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is not all the appearance of the nouveau riche!" Looking at Claudia in the reception room. Whether Auditore spoke was praise or ridicule was known only to herself.
The overall layout of this reception room is clean, tidy and beautiful, and the colors tend to be monochromatic. The white ceiling, painted with lime, complements the walls and the brown floor. The color of the curtains is linea, which helps to unify the tone.
The furniture is also made of two brighter colors, yellow and orange, which are psychologically warm and pleasant. But it's also a warm red. But it was rejected because it was too glamorous and easy to excite - so that not even a piece of cloth could be seen.
At the same time, the carpet in the center of the reception room is of the type painted with a geometric pattern of straight lines. But the jewel-like center sunflower, Sahabas palm leaves, curling leaves, tangled vines and flowers form the main motif. It's blended with barcoch wool and woven into the warp and weft of silk to look unusually harmonious. It can be said that this carpet is the finishing touch to the whole reception room.
In order to maintain the height of the reception room space as much as possible. In the middle of the room, which is less than three meters high, there is no fashionable installation of ceiling lights like a luxurious hotel lobby. Instead, they installed wall lamps on the walls as a light source for the night office - after all, the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business' has a busy business, and as long as it is profitable, it does not care whether it is day or night.
"It's modeled after the town hall reception room, and even the carpet is pretty much the same." As he spoke, Barrett was touching the sconces embedded in the wallβthe frames of these blackened sconces were actually made of brass. The five pieces of white frosted glass attached to it give it a striking feeling. The overall shape is simple and elegant. The special beauty brought by the full arc makes people feel warm.
After hearing Barrett's words, Claudia. Somehow, a triumphant smile appeared on Auditore's face: "The style of the town hall reception room?" I'll just say that this nouveau riche church doesn't have the ability to set up such a comfortable environment. β
But at that moment, footsteps were heard outside the door of the reception room. Claudia knew it was someone approaching. Auditore immediately shut his offending mouth. The lady who pushed the door in continued the nouveau riche style of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business', and the bejeweled dress and the setting of the reception room could be said to be out of place.
However, since everyone is here to find someone to do something today, they can only slander this strange combination in their hearts, and it is impossible to show any performance. So as not to let everyone's plans twist and turn. When the time comes, Clematis. Bot is going to 'kill' when he starts a rush.
Barrett who released his palm from the sconce. Carefully looked at the priest of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce in front of him. Judging from the face and skin type, the other party's age should be less than 30 years old - of course, it is not ruled out that the other party's face is tender and the actual age is over 40. After all, in this world, both divine arts and special bloodlines can do this.
Of course, this priest is not very beautiful in terms of facial features, but her smile has a feeling like a spring breeze. Indeed, he is a suitable candidate for reception and negotiation work.
"Hello, I'm the priest in this temple. You can call me Catherina. With that, the priestess set her sights on Clematis. "I've heard from the waiters I received before, and the protagonist of the day is this parishioner!" β
"That's right! The purpose of our visit this time is to give my dispelling ability the effect of channeling positive energy. If you can, learn permission for the specialty of 'Holy Exorcism'. We also want to try to put it together. "As the other party said, as the protagonist of Klematis. Bot immediately walked over to her side.
This Catherina priest did not reply directly to Kleimatis. Both's words. She sat in a chair with a back by the coffee table, her hand resting on her chin. Then stared at Clematis. Bot looked at it for a while, and then Shi Shiran said: "Little girl, your heart is really big!" If you want to complete the task of acquiring these two key abilities at once, I don't think you can achieve it with your current strength. β
"How do you know if you don't try this kind of thing, besides, I won't be able to try to advance to the 'Golden Eye Emissary' in a short time. If you don't solve the problem of these two abilities before then, it will be very difficult to successfully pass the trial. "Claymatis. Bote's words are neither soft nor hard.
Priestess Catherina's expression did not change in any way, but Barrett noticed a brief pause in her eyes. This shows that the woman's mood has fluctuated a little. Apparently she didn't expect Clematis. Bot was able to approach the threshold of advanced classes so quickly.
Natives generally don't have a way to easily know someone's class level (and this is also true for players). This Catherina priest for Clematis. Bot's understanding is basically the records and materials recorded in the church in Repulse City.
Of course, the Divine Mansion is naturally able to know the strength of its own priests at any time, but they do not have the habit of informing all their believers about this. So Catherina Priest for Clematis. Bot's strength speculation will inevitably be different - because the player's upgrade speed is too big an advantage in the early stage. This unexpected ascension made the lady in front of her a little unbelievable.
"Your Highness really cares for you!" Catherina's words were plain, but the taste of jealousy was still audible in them.
Claymatis. Bot said without blushing and without a beat: "That's because I'm trying to spread the prestige of His Highness." Our Highness is the fairest, isn't he? Naturally, you will have a corresponding reward for what you give. β
Claymatis. Bot's statement would be correct if it were placed on the aboriginal priests. It's just that players who rely on the so-called experience points to force the level can say this so naturally, and it is not a move that ordinary people can make. Barrett, who was watching the play on the sidelines, gave a thumbs up to his team members in his heart.
"In that case, I'll go find you and see what the right task is." Speaking of this, Priest Catherina looked at Kleimatis. Bot specifically emphasized: "But are you sure that you have mastered the 3-ring divine technique?" Although the tasks of our church are rarely desperate. However, if the strength is insufficient, there will still be a lot of risk. β
"Don't worry. My teammates and I are quite confident in our own strengths. "Clematis who said this. Bot accentuated the pronunciation of the word 'teammate'. At the same time, she stuffed a standard sapphire into the hand of the Catherina priest in front of her: "So please ask your seniors to help me in this regard!" β
After a slight examination of the color of the gem in his hand, Priest Catherina put it away and said with a smile: "What are your own people doing so politely?" Do you want it to be a group mission? I'm going to look for you. (To be continued.) )
