Chapter VII: Exchange of Information
"Can you elaborate on that, Lord Judy?" Shure suddenly patted his forehead, "Standing here and talking is not a hospitality gift from the Darkmoon Temple, please ...... Well, let's stand here and talk. ”
Look at the interior of the worship hall, there are stones and tools everywhere, black and smoky, and as for the furniture, it is not easy to find a place to sit. Shul tried to imagine the lovely Lisa on the right, the delicate and beautiful Archbishop Judy on the left, himself in the middle, the three of them crouching side by side on the unfinished steps of the staircase and chatting...... Forget it, let's continue to stand in the doorway.
"Hehehehehe, interesting people. Covering her mouth, Judy laughed heartily, obviously laughing out loud This behavior is not in line with etiquette at all, but it is still so elegant when it appears on her, "Come with me, five hundred meters away is the chapel of our church, since we are already friends, it would be too rude for you not to come to our chapel to visit." ”
"I'm not going to shirk that. Shuer's eyes lit up, "In the seven legends of the Rose City, the blue bell tea of the Earth Temple is a treasure in the world that even the lord of the kingdom yearns for, and it must be necessary to entertain friends. ”
"Naturally, this is the case, as long as the person being entertained is willing to pay according to the price. For the sake of a friend, he can barely be counted as a 50% off, 1,500 gold coins and a gram of tea, how about it, I am a friend. ”
"Huh, Lord Judy, I found that you are so powerful that the algorithm of 5% discount is actually doubled directly. ”
"That's not as powerful as you, the call to be included in the eighth legend is getting louder and louder, the vampire of the Rose City, the greedy gold-loving beast, the vicious money-grabbing priest, and the black hole of the market that knocks on the bone and marrow, I tremble when I hear these names. However, even the cost and price of our church bluebell tea are so clear, all the data on the market are in our heads, and some of the titles may really live up to their names. ”
"Hahaha, it's all those losers who are jealous of my wisdom and deliberately make it up to destroy my reputation. ”
"Huh, aren't you jealous of your shamelessness?"
"Shamelessness is one of the flashes of wisdom, right, Lisa. Also, Lisa, you change places to bite, and it's a little numb there. ”
Cordial and pleasant exchanges, and soon, the worship hall of the Earth Temple appeared in front of the three of them.
Compared to the Darkmoon Temple, which has not yet been built, the chapel of the Earth Church is much more solemn.
A ring-shaped building, occupying the same area of the god's territory, unlike most religious buildings, this is a relatively unique dome building, each roof, depicting mountains and rivers and other terrain, looks like a miniature of the whole picture of the planet Pavatiga.
Inside, the most striking thing is the icon of Kaeya, the Mother Earth.
The image of Lord Kaeya...... There is no image, the mother earth is nine hundred and twenty-seven, no, now it should be the most peculiar image among the nine hundred and twenty-eight gods.
The other gods, either in human form, or in the form of a deformed form of some kind of artifact, but Mistress Kaeya, her form, was a big rock, well, a huge rock.
Xiuer showed a thoughtful smile, and the scene of nine hundred and twenty-six gods using the image of a young child to form a circle hand in hand, clamoring to rush at a boulder to call his mother, well, there seems to be some ominous energy fluctuations, it seems that the blow surface is a little too big, in order to avoid the spontaneous punishment of the laws of the world, it is wiser not to continue to think about it.
When he turned around, he saw the elegant Judy tilting her head and smiling maliciously at him.
"It's a shame. ”
"Tsk, it looks like Judy knows what I'm thinking. ”
"Because I thought about it when I was younger. "More than once," said the archbishop, mischievously. ”
"And then?"
Then she was stoned by Mother Earth. Judy snickered, not at all like a high-ranking religious leader, "In order to prevent the Earth Mother from smashing you together, come in and sit, the ceiling of the reception room is relatively solid." ”
It's a joke to say that the ceiling in the reception room is sturdy, but it's more comfortable.
The elastic sofa, the thick coffee table, the soft plush carpet, the indoor rockery with the constant spurting of water, a few poetry books with a faint aroma, a few plates of seasonal fruits, a few plates of snacks, plus a pot of steaming tea, the hospitality place in the lounge has already been prepared.
"Hehehe. Xiuer smiled meaningfully, from the time he decided to come here until now, there was not a total of five minutes, and this pot of tea, it was not five minutes to prepare, what it meant behind it, and let yourself see what these represented, it was naturally self-evident, sometimes, it was a good experience to meet the same kind.
"Bluebell tea, please, this pot is free, and the charge starts from the next pot. ”
"Hahahaha. "It's the same kind in another sense, not a simple woman.
"Continuing with that, Judy-sama. Shul gentlemanly poured tea for Judy and Lisa, then sat down again, squinted his eyes leisurely and said, "Do you have any details about the entry of the Forest God System into the Great Rift?"
"Legend has it that it was more than 2,100 years ago, when a great rift erupted. Judy sat across from Shur, her graceful demeanor and humorous conversation, making it easy to overlook her age, "a certain forest god at that time......
"Someone?"
"Well, someone. ”
"Sorry to interrupt, please continue. "At this point, since it is referred to by a certain person, it is possible that the other party does not want to say a specific person, but it is more likely that the gods of the forest god system have concealed this information, so that Judy does not know, and Shur prefers the latter.
"Some people suspect that the god who entered the Great Rift is none other than the goddess of the forest, Lord Anika, but no one has any evidence, and as for the gods of the forest, they neither affirm nor deny it, so they act as if they have heard nothing. ”
"What about your guess?" "What about your guess?" his fingers tapped lightly, Shuer's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he seemed to be in a calm state, but only Lisa, who was clinging to his brother, could feel his brother's muscles sometimes tense and sometimes relaxed from the limbs that he could touch, and his mood was obviously not calm.
"It's not easy to guess, but I'm more inclined to say that it's not Lord Anika. ”
"Oh, can you hear why, Judy-sama?"
"Because Anika-sama is still there, isn't it?"
Shuer couldn't laugh at once, and Lisa couldn't help but shudder, this answer was a little exciting.
"In other words......" Shuer subconsciously lowered his voice and asked tentatively, "The unknown adult who went in failed to come back?"
"At least no one knew he was back. ”
"Hehe, hehe. Shuer took a sip of tea and was silent for a long time before he let out a strange laugh, "So ......"
"You mean the name on the Wall of Sighs?"
"Hmm. ”
"Nothing has changed. ”
"No name that has disappeared?" Shul asked, a little disappointed, but not surprised.
"Or do you need to guess?" said Judy, as if complaining, "all the names have not changed, and this is what the Earth Mother herself told me." ”
"Hehe, that's interesting. Shuer said with a smile, "There are gods still on the other side of the Great Rift, who doesn't know, I don't know the situation now, the only thing I know is that I still keep in touch with Pavatiga, hehe, it's a very brain-consuming story." ”
"So I said at the beginning, if you want to know the details of the Great Rift, go to Lord Anika, as long as you can provoke her interest, maybe she will tell you everything, hehe, she is so willful, and she is qualified enough to be willful. ”
"I believe that, for I have already aroused Mistress Anika, Mistress Judy, and I have asked her. "Habitually pinching her chin with her fingers, the movement is like brushing her beard, "It's a pity that she not only didn't tell me everything, but also personally arranged a task for me, and the specific content of this task ......"
"Stop. Judy cocked up her fingers, "At this point, I don't want to hear it." ”
"Well, I can't say either, not a word. ”
"Alas. Judy spoke deeply, looking at Shul with very melancholy eyes, as if to accuse him of his behavior, "You're going a little too far, Shul. ”
In Judy's opinion, Shul is indeed a bit excessive.
She stopped Shuer from continuing, which meant that I didn't want to hear anything, I didn't want to know anything, I didn't want to get too involved in this matter, and the specific content had nothing to do with me. Obviously, with Shuer's comprehension, he must have understood what Judy meant, and he didn't say anything specific, but he did say one more sentence.
Everyone is a smart person, and sometimes with a look and a movement, you can see the meaning of others, not to mention a somewhat strange sentence. With just Shure's last words, Judy was able to guess Anika's mission.
The Great Rift that was suddenly mentioned, the forest god system with members entering the Great Rift, the mission arranged by Anika herself, the missing gods who refused to reveal their identities to the outside world, and the specific content that could not be explained to outsiders at all, all the information was synthesized, and the answer was about to come out.
It's definitely about finding the missing gods, and maybe even the core quest.
Obviously he didn't want to be involved, but he was skillfully pulled into the water by Shuer, no wonder Archbishop Judy was a little dissatisfied.
However, Shuer didn't realize it at all, but said as a matter of course: "Does Lord Judy really not want to hear it, and if you don't want to hear it, why did you deliberately drag me into the water before?"
Indeed, if you think about it carefully, the origin of the whole thing is actually still in Judy, who seems to be the victim, and from beginning to end, the situation has never been out of her control.
