The Guardian Hammer is naturally one of the missing Darkmoon relics, but unlike the three just mentioned, this is the exclusive artifact of the Darkmoon Goddess Battle Priest.

It was not lost in the accident 150 years ago, but was lost thousands of years ago in the Pioneer Era, when the battle priest died in the Pioneer War. If the goddess of the dark moon wants to do so, the goddess of the dark moon can still locate the approximate location through her divine power, but only the hammer of guardianship, for thousands of years, there have also been attendants of the dark moon who have prayed to the goddess to locate it, but they have found nothing.

This means that the person who holds the Guardian Hammer now is at least a high-ranking priest of a certain deity, and this deity is not only not inferior to the goddess of the Dark Moon, but also supports the actions of that priest.

Possessing the Guardian Hammer can at least double Shur's attack power, and if combined with the Universal Relic Book Moon Prayer, the protection and healing abilities can also be greatly enhanced, and Bonita believes that Shur will never be able to refuse such a temptation.

Not only Bonita, everyone present thought so, the exact clue of a holy relic and a holy relic, no matter how you look at it, Shur has made a lot of money.

The three ladies knew Shul very well and knew that this price had indeed hit him in the soft underbelly, so even they thought that Shuer would definitely not refuse.

However......

"No way, I won't listen to what you say. Shuer's refusal was categorical, and even a little harsh, "Does Lord Wendy want the Darkmoon Church to start a divine war, or do you want me to be a sinner who destroys the peace of the Temple of the Gods?"

"This ......," Bonita sat back again, completely unaware that she had lost the initiative again, "my lord didn't mean it, and neither did I." ”

However, she had to admit that Shur was right, once Shuer knew the exact news, as a believer in Dark Moon, it was his duty to retrieve the holy relics, but hiding the holy relics was the instruction of a certain god, which was tantamount to forcing the Dark Moon Temple to go to war with the other party, no wonder Shuer didn't even want to listen.

In this way, it is indeed a mistake to consider himself, and it is no wonder that the archbishop is not optimistic about his plan. But at this point, according to the archbishop, it's time for the opponent to show his cards.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't think it through. Bonita smiled apologetically, "Since Mr. Wright is not satisfied with the price I offered, why don't you please state the terms you approve?"

"First, the crown of the moon, it is a must. ”

"That's natural, in fact, we have already obtained the Dark Moon Relic, as long as the contract is signed, we can give it at any time. ”

"Hmm...... Not necessarily. After hesitating for a long time, Shul still rejected Bonita's proposal, "Let's exchange it when we get it." ”

"The timing is up to you. ”

"Okay, number two, gold and resources. The issue that you said earlier must now be raised. My teammates are coming from all over the world, and the fastest way to gather within the allotted time is through the Pilgrimage Gate, but unfortunately, there are two mages who are not so religious in their belief in the gods and cannot use the Pilgrimage Gate, so they can only pay a high price and teleport through the teleportation network between the mage towers, little by little. Therefore, it is not too much to coordinate the borrowing of the pilgrimage gates of those churches, as well as the teleportation network of the Wizard's Tower, and leave these human and financial resources to your church. ”

"Uh...... All right. "Thinking that the mage's teleportation network is almost like burning money, even with the support of the Water Temple behind it, Bonita feels quite painful, that number is really terrifying. As for the borrowing of the pilgrimage gate, it's okay, the Temple of Water has always had a good relationship with other churches, so there should be no problem.

"Yes, there's one who is a disciple of Lord Ofregan. ”

"I ......" If it were possible, Bonita would have been tempted to kick Shure out of the chamber, which was simply embarrassing, knowing that Ofregan's rude savage was the most hated deity of Lord Wendy. But there is no way, what Shul said is reasonable, and Bonita can't refuse, so she can only find a way through other channels.

"In terms of resources, there are still gold coins, 20,000 gold coins. This gold coin is not a reward, but a compensation. ”

"Since we can't estimate the internal environment through external calculations, we have at least five pieces of equipment and supplies for each of us to cope with different environments. But we can't act with five supplies, that's stupid, so after entering the projection world and determining the internal environment, except for the useful one, the other four can only be discarded on the spot. ”

"Therefore, these four materials are consumables that cannot be reused, and they are entirely produced because of your requirements, and they should be paid for by you, and as for our share, we will solve it ourselves according to the rules. ”

"Seven people, four pieces of various equipment and materials each, 20,000 gold coins is definitely just the cost, this Mr. Caffrey can prove, you see, Mr. Caffrey nodded, for the sake of the face of the Temple of Water, we only charge the cost price, there should be nothing wrong with it, I think your church can accept it." ”

"Yes. Bonita gritted her teeth again, but even the teleportation fee for two people was bearable, and 20,000 gold coins was nothing unacceptable. And it's just a matter of gold coins, and it's not a big deal for the Temple of Water.

And then there's the third and most critical issue. ”

It is indeed crucial to get Shur to reject the news of the holy relics, which must be very important. Bonita was mentally prepared for the other party's sky-high price, and the archbishop's meaning was very clear, as long as the other party's request was not too excessive, he would agree, after all, Lord Wendy still needed this piece of water heart.

"The third point, alliances. ”

"Huh?" The completely unexpected answer made Bonita think she didn't hear clearly, and involuntarily asked, "I didn't hear clearly, you mean it...... Alliance?"

This joke is a bit too big, Your Excellency Priest, we are just the servants of the gods, not the controllers of the gods, and we are talking about alliances, do we just count? Are you really a priest, do you really know what your identity is? Bonita rolled her eyes in her heart, and almost cursed.

"It's not for Lord Wendy to form an alliance with my lord, the will of the gods is supreme, of course it is not something we can control, and I will not make such a stupid mistake. When I say alliance, I mean the alliance between the Temple of Water and the Temple of the Dark Moon. Shure was so calm that he didn't care about Bonita's expression at all, "This shouldn't surprise Mistress Bonita so much anymore." ”

It was pretty much the same, and Bonita's expression finally softened a little.

There is a difference between church alliances and alliance between gods, which were very common before the Age of Chaos, but rarely happened in the Temple Age. Due to the establishment of the Temple of the Gods, all the gods are themselves allied, and there is no need to form an alliance again, and if they do, it will arouse the suspicion of other gods, and the gains outweigh the losses.

As for the alliance of the church, it is much simpler, as long as the priesthood of the two gods is not obviously opposed, and the relationship between the gods is not complicated, then the two churches under the gods can form an alliance.

However, there will be no change after the church alliance, the symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual meaning, everyone still does not belong to each other and does not interfere with each other, at most they send people to each other at the festival ceremony, and interact with each other more, such as the Temple of Water, a church with many rituals and cumbersome ceremonies, the alliance will only add trouble to its own church personnel, and few people will make such a request.

"This ...... I can't commit to it for the time being. Bonita was tempted to agree, as this request did not cost the Temple of Water anything, but unfortunately it was beyond her authority and had to be left to the Archbishop.

"It's okay, I can wait, as long as you agree to these three conditions, we can sign a contract at any time to establish a trust relationship. Shul wasn't worried about being rejected, "I think the archbishop of your church can understand my thoughts, and she shouldn't refuse this win-win condition, so let's move on for now." ”

"The remuneration issue has been negotiated, theoretically speaking, you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, and all the rest will be solved by us shadow chasers. However, due to the peculiar nature of your request, I would like to confirm one more thing. ”

"What is the Heart of Water? I'm not talking about what it is, but what it looks like? What are its characteristics? How can you tell it? The most important thing is, how do you bring it back? I can't take a basin or a bucket, just take a basin of water and think it's the Heart of Water. ”

"Well, Mr. Wright, that's a tough question. Bonita slurred, seemingly a little embarrassed, "The Heart of Water is not a materialized basin of water or something, but a conceptual existence, disembodied, and if you want to obtain it, you need to use a holy artifact in our Water Temple. As for the discrimination, it takes the special sensing ability of the Water Believer to find the location of the Water Heart. ”

"Then how do you let us get it back?" Just as he wanted to continue speaking, Shur suddenly stopped, squinted his eyes and stared at the two priests opposite, and said in a gloomy tone, "Wait, you don't want to send someone to follow us into the projection world." ”

"Hehehehe, there's nothing else you can do. Bonita laughed dryly and said, "We hope that Kelly can go in with you and bring the Heart of Water back." ”

"Bishop Bonita, although the Darkmoon Church is no longer a large church, and I am not a famous person, but, in the name of the Lord, the Lightless Moon is definitely not to be teased. "You don't know what it means to enter the Otherworldly Projection with a stranger. ”

It means that the chances of annihilation and death increase exponentially, there is no doubt about it, and even if the stranger is not hostile, it will not change this outcome. What's more, no one can be sure that this stranger is really not hostile, even if the other party uses the reputation of the church as a guarantee, it is useless, compared with his own life, the reputation of a church that has nothing to do with him is no longer worth mentioning.
