Belief in gods is a very common act. Because humans are fragile creatures. Almost every moment, we are faced with helplessness. Therefore, we urgently need an omnipotent being to be a solace for our souls. The gods are that being.

Sadly, however, the gods do not pay attention to their followers most of the time. Or rather, they don't have enough power to save all believers. As a result, belief in the gods is not stable. When people are hurt and lose something important, they get angry with the gods they believe in and give up their faith in anger. At least that's how people are now.

However, this does not completely negate belief in the gods. Because there were at least once true believers in this world.

Elsie is a little girl, and when she was a child, she loved to wait by the sea for her father to return. While waiting, what she liked the most was listening to her grandmother tell her stories about various gods and spirits. Those bizarre stories left a deep mark on this little girl's heart.

The Irish leprechaun is Essie's most memorable story. This elf was born in the Irish bush. Responsible for the custody of the belongings of the gods. They were busy every day, searching for gold and jewels to add to their treasury. They are a kind of elf that is closest to humans. Legend has it that as long as you offer some belongings or food, you can make an offering in front of the window. They will always bless you with good luck. Elsie believed this, so she insisted on this offering from a young age.

My father finally went to sea and never returned. Grandma is also long dead. Time passed, and Ash grew up. She worked as a servant in the home of a wealthy family. This is a relatively kind rich family. There are many children, even some of the servants' children, who can also play at home.

In her spare time, Elsie often tells children stories about leprechauns. Young and beautiful Essie, deep children's welcome. This makes her stand out among the many servants. And for this reason, he was favored by the young master of this family.

Elsie is a very sensible person, and she knows that she can't get results with the other person. But the young rich boy was carried away by the passion of the moment. He took out the family heirloom gemstone necklace as a token of his affection. promised that after returning from school, he would marry her. This is clearly deep enough sincerity. For the first time, Elsie is dominated by sensuality. I promised to wait for the other party's return.

Gorgeous gems are the fantasy of every spring girl. From time to time, Elsie secretly took out the necklace and stroked it. Until one day, it was discovered by the head of the house. Ash is accused of stealing, and at this time Elsie wants the rich boy to come forward and admit their relationship with each other. But after the passion, the rich boy decisively chose to dissociate himself. Elsie was arrested.

This priceless necklace was enough to send Elsie to the gallows. But in the end, she was only sentenced to exile in the United States.

On the filthy and chaotic exile ship, Elsie had a very hard time. Every day, someone dies, and everyone is trying to survive. But even so, Elsie still saves part of her rations every day and puts them on the windowsill. She firmly believes that leprechauns will grant her good luck.

Good luck really came. The captain of the ship took a fancy to the beautiful Elsie. even paid a certain amount of truth for her. Elsie became the captain's wife. And successfully returned to London and got a happy life.

And yet the story continues. Eight weeks later, the husband went to sea again. At this time, Elsie stole all the valuable things in the house and left. She's not a thief, but when everyone thinks she's a thief. She really became a thief.

Time kept slipping, and Elsie was caught again. For multiple counts of theft, Elsie was sentenced to death. In prison, Elsie still retains her faith in the last moments of her life. It puts its own moldy bread on the windowsill. Dedicated to the elves you believe in. And daily prayer of devout prayer. What she didn't know was that the man next door to her was the elf she believed in. And the other party heard his prayer.

Once again, good fortune struck. The warden took a fancy to the young and beautiful Essie. Brought a big meal and came to try your luck. Ash jumped at the chance and became pregnant with the prison warden's child. British law does not kill pregnant women. Once again, Elsie narrowly escaped death. and was eventually exiled to the Americas.

She gave birth to children and worked as a maid in a botanical garden. The owner, who has just lost his wife, has a crush on the beautiful Elsie. She married each other. Maybe there isn't much emotion, just to survive better. But this time, Elsie made a qualified wife. She married and raised children, and after her husband's death, continued to take care of the plantation.

She has many children and grandchildren, and she tells the story of the leprechauns to her children and grandchildren, just like her grandmother. The children of this generation, however, are not interested in this. Elsie was too old for anything else she could do. Just use the last of your energy to put a serving of food on the windowsill every day. Then you can only sit on the recliner and wait for death to come.

On a hazy night, the leprechaun appeared in front of Elsie. These two gods and men, who have been entangled for decades, finally met at this moment. The elf bestows the highest honor on his followers. Take her out of this world personally.

…………………………..

This is the end of the flashback. The dwarf demon opened his eyes violently and saw Lin Xuan in front of him. The gold coin in Lin Xuan's hand, and Laura who fell to the ground. At this time, he finally understood. I was bewitched by some kind of illusion just now, and I was immersed in the past.

The man in front of him was looming with a vast divine power. As a lesser god who guards the vault. Leprechauns can't even tell the level of the other party. But he knew that even the so-called Wednesday was here. Compared to the other party, it is also weak like a baby. And the most important thing is that the other party is holding his lucky gold coin in his hand.

"I'm curious about this girl's relationship with you. Where do I see a picture of her in your memory? Is she the reincarnation of Elsie? ”

"Almost, right? Reincarnation is an Eastern term. You can understand it as a continuation of the soul. A glimmer of divine power in Essie. So we have a bond with each other. To be able to meet in this life. ”

"Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to be your believer anymore."

"It doesn't matter, I'm almost no believers anymore. The world is almost forgetting the so-called Irish leprechauns. ”

"But you don't seem to be affected."

"I'm not a general believer in God. I am the treasurer of the gods. As long as the gold is there, I don't need much faith. ”

"What about this gold coin? The power on this is quite extraordinary. A gold coin that condenses atmospheric luck. In a sense, this may be more powerful than Zeus's Thor Spear, or Odin's Gangenir or something. And it also has the ability to resurrect, although not very completely. But for your identity, it's a bit of a mismatch. This kind of thing actually appears in your hands. ”

The dwarf demon looked at the gold coin in Lin Xuan's hand, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes. Nostalgia, remorse, pain, and so on. But in the end, it turned into a helpless decadence.

"This is a sacred thing of my people. In antiquity. The Irish leprechauns used to be a large magical race. We have a long life and are able to use some spells. It can also affect luck. At that time, it was the heyday of our race.

But in reality, the luck we can influence is extremely weak. A leprechaun can only influence one of its own followers. We are a race that has little room to grow. At least at the time. As time passed, our race began to decline gradually.

At that time, our leaders foresaw something not so good. He proposes a way to create an artifact that will help our race continue its future. ”

"Entrust the fate of the race to one thing?"

"It doesn't seem very wise now. Our leprechaun clan poured out a lot of resources and poured a single gold coin. A true gold coin of fortune. Among the Leprechauns, this gold coin is held. To be able to possess a near-perfect luck. Someone shoots at you, and his gun will explode. If you get into a car accident, the splashed glass will just avoid you, and not even a single scar will appear. ”

"As far as I know, creatures that try to manipulate their luck don't end well."

"At that time, we were just a regular level of magical creatures. We don't understand the meaning behind such a thing as luck. So we did, and we did. It's the gold coin in front of you. But we quickly paid for it. ”

"Let me guess, the overall luck of your entire race has been damaged."

"Very accurate description. I still don't know how to describe that scene. Since the birth of this coin, our race has been subjected to various disasters. The number of people has dropped sharply. It's as if the whole world is directed against our people. Until the last Battle of the Gods. Our entire race died in the war, except me. ”

"You're a gold coin holder of that generation."

"Yes, the gold coin sheltered me. I didn't go to war, so I survived. But after the war, I was already the last Irish leprechaun. It's ironic, isn't it? Because of this gold coin, we have damaged the luck of our own people. It led to the extermination of the entire race.

And it was this gold coin that saved my life and prevented our race from being completely wiped out. I don't know if it succeeded or failed for the purpose of making it. ”

"Luck is a very subtle and dangerous thing. Even I don't dare to touch it easily. You are the fearless of the ignorant. ”

"Hehe, I used to think about dying like that. Make the leprechauns a thing of the past. But with gold coins on me, I can always turn evil into good fortune. I didn't have the courage to commit suicide, I could only live in a state of confusion. Elsie was the only light I had in my hundreds of years of life. Laura is a continuation of her soul and I hope she can live. So, can you give me back the gold coins? With an inexplicable courage, the dwarf demon made a request to Lin Xuan.

"Do you know who you're asking for? As a collector's item that I fancie, you're going to let me give it away? Lin Xuan's tone began to become a little dangerous.

“…… Yes. I want you to return the gold coins to Laura. In return, I am willing to work for you. ”

"I heard you right, you're a god. Now are you willing to sacrifice your freedom for a mortal? ”

"Gods? Am I really a god in your eyes? And, it's as if I'm really free now. I'm just a Wednesday dog. I can't resist him, but at least I can try to get a new owner. ”

A vast divine power surged in Lin Xuan's body. The leprechaun only felt that his spirit was like a candle in the storm, as if it would be extinguished in the next second.

"You think you're qualified to be my subordinate?"

"I think it's enough to trade me for a human."

Lin Xuan stared at the dwarf demon, and the powerful coercion made the dwarf almost kneel. But the leprechaun actually held on. He looked at Lin Xuan with a somewhat stubborn look. This ruffian leprechaun showed an extraordinary willpower at this moment.

Lin Xuan pursed his lips slightly, and then with a flick of his right hand, the gold coin flew out of his hand. It landed exactly in Laura's chest.

The leprechaun is a ruffian, weak god. Drunkenness. Dirty words, hang the child. There is not the slightest appearance of a god on the whole body. Maybe it's the decline of the race, which hurts it too hard. Alone, he promised Wednesday to fight a war for him. Perhaps he himself had the idea of ending everything in this war.

But Laura's appearance changed everything. Essentially, Laura is not a good woman. She's just like Essie once was. There is a kind of rebellion and ambition in his bones.

Laura is the wife of the shadow. Together, they plan a robbery, which fails. Shadow took all the blame, but while Shadow was in prison. Laura cheated on her. And it's the shadow brother who cheats. And the two of them, in a disgusting way, died together in a car accident. (Specifically, you can watch American dramas, absolutely high-energy death)

She calls Shadow a dog, a way of calling a pet. In fact, it can be seen from here that she doesn't love shadows, just because she is lonely and wants to find a partner. This also bought the foreshadowing for her later derailment.

But the gold coins of the leprechaun changed everything. When she returned to the human world again, she finally discovered a problem that she had not noticed. She had already unknowingly fallen in love with the shadow. Her life is like a copy of Aisi. It was also a great realization after suffering.

The gold coins give Laura a second hope, and she desperately chases the shadow, hoping to be forgiven. And on the way, he met Wednesday's subordinate, the leprechaun. That's why they're partnered.

Laura, who was on the ground, sat up sharply as if awakened by a nightmare. The car overturned, but he was unharmed. The leprechaun was standing beside him. And next to him, there was an Asian man standing.

"I thought you'd take the opportunity to take the gold?" Laura subconsciously sarcastic. They've gotten used to it along the way. But this time, the leprechaun didn't fight back.

"I'm sorry, Laura. The rest of the way, you have to go on your own. ”
