This was the first time Shur had entered the sanctuary of other gods, and it was also the first time he had seen the image of the forest goddess Anika.

In a broad sense, the Hall of Divine refers to the building that represents the gods in the Temple of the Gods, but the Hall of Divine in the pure sense is actually the small room in the deepest part of the building.

If it is only the building of the Holy Hall, as long as there is a devout belief in this deity, and with the permission of the clergy who takes care of the Holy Hall, then any believer can enter, and even if it is a pilgrimage directly into the city from outside the city instead of being teleported through the pilgrimage gate, there is no need to obtain the consent of the core people of the main hall.

However, if you want to enter the real Divine Hall, that is, that small room, it is different, only the high-ranking people of the Church who are most closely bound to the gods, as well as mortals who have been summoned by the gods, are only qualified to enter with the permission of the gods, otherwise, if anyone wants to break in rashly, the real divine punishment will not be merciful.

So, even in the real Darkmoon Hall, Shure and Lisa had only entered twice. Although both of them are qualified to come and go at will, and divine punishment will not come because of this, but rashly disturbing the tranquility of the gods and crossing the gap between mortals and gods for no reason is not what a devout believer should do.

The so-called Sacred Hall is not actually a place that really exists in the present world, although it looks like a small room from the outside, but once you walk in, you will find that it is not a room at all, but another space.

An illusory space between the kingdom of God and reality.

The sky was dark, there was no sun, moon and no stars, but this did not affect the vision, the light had lost its meaning here, and even if the environment was completely lightless, everything around could be seen clearly.

Or, who can be sure that what is seen before the eyes is really seen with the eyes, and not directly projected into consciousness by some force? After all, with the power of the gods, anything can happen.

What Shure saw was a forest, or rather, a corner of the forest. As soon as you enter the forest hall, you will find yourself in the middle of the trees, and you will see the lush foliage of the trees, the smell of green leaves mixed with the smell of earth, the rustle of the leaves when the breeze blows, and the moist smell of the forest on your skin.

The dense trees are as far as the eye can see, and the only special thing is that among the trees, a statue stands.

The stone carvings are not humanoid, not all humanoids, to be exact.

The lower half of the statue is a tree, which is vividly carved, and every trace of the bark is clearly recognizable. The upper body of the stone sculpture is the image of a wood elf, the wood elf stone sculpture looks up at the sky, and the hands are stretched out to the sky as much as possible, as if embracing the sun that does not exist.

There is no doubt that the stone carving that can appear here must be the image of the goddess of the forest, but it is still different from the image of the wood elf in the forest temple.

No, Shur shook his head secretly, mortals' eyes can never look directly at the gods, let alone know the true image of the gods, even the clergy who serve the gods, even the archbishops of the church closest to the Holy See of the gods, can never know the appearance of the gods, and all the images they see are actually fake.

It's not that the gods don't want to be seen, it's the understanding of mortals who can't understand the image of the gods at all, just like a bug that lives only in the summer and can never understand what the concept of ice and snow is.

Of course, the Hall of Divine is the closest place to the gods, and what you perceive here should be the closest to the real image.

Shure thought so, or at least comforted himself. Otherwise, the back of the long black dress in a long black dress, the waterfall-like black hair dragged all the way to the ground, and the head standing under the black full moon that I had seen in the Hall of the Dark Moon before, might not be that image, maybe......

Silently made up the back brain into a black ball rolling on the ground, hmm, do you want to add a few tentacles? Shuer felt that he was one step closer to divine punishment, congratulations, congratulations.

"Hello, darling of the Dark Moon. The calm voice came from the woods, and a forest spirit parted its branches and leaves and stepped out of the bushes. At a glance, it can be seen that this Lin Jing is already very old, and fine wrinkles have appeared on his forehead, which is a sign of entering his twilight years for Lin Jing.

"Lord Anika doesn't like red tape, and neither do the forest spirits and the wood elves, although in order to communicate harmoniously with you, we have to learn these polite greetings and etiquette, and we won't have any dissatisfaction with it, but in front of the goddess, I still hope you don't mind......"

"No one likes red tape, Your Excellency, but it is the minimum sign of mutual respect to show the maximum of etiquette when two unfamiliar forces come into contact, and to return the salute with the same specifications when the other party shows etiquette. Ignoring etiquette in a single aspect means nothing other than showing condescending disrespect and unequal arrogance. ”

"I understand that although the forest spirits are not familiar with the world, as the archbishop of the forest temple, I still understand these people's sophistication, so I am making a request to His Excellency the priest in advance and apologize. ”

"Your Excellency the Archbishop does not need to apologize, from the attitude of the archbishop, I have received the deserved etiquette and respect, and I have reciprocated the respect, and that is enough. As for in front of Lord Anika, hehe, gods and mortals are not equal in the first place, so naturally they should follow the habits of the gods and want to be equal to the gods, unless they become gods themselves, they can only show arrogance and ignorance. ”

The life of two different worlds has made Shul have already seen through many truths, and he will not be offended by this.

"Thank you for your understanding. Archbishop Lin Jing smiled happily, but immediately disappeared. Apparently carrying the entire Forest Sanctuary on his back, His Excellency the Archbishop had to forcibly distort his personality in order to deal with the other churches.

"Your Excellency Shure, although my mother did not explain the reason, she explained in the oracle that she hoped to communicate directly with you, so she asked Moria, the child, to invite you over, I think Moria should have already told you. However, as you are also a member of the high priesthood, you should also know that even if you go to the Holy Hall, the closest place to God, it is impossible to communicate directly with your mother. ”

"I understand. Shul nodded, he did understand.

The gap between mortals and gods is too great, if you come into direct contact with the gods, even if you just hear the voice of the gods directly, you will be greatly affected, and in serious cases, you may even change your cognition, unless you have the extraordinary power of a demigod, or you believe in other gods sincerely, you can avoid this result.

As for those believers who can listen to the voice of the gods, it is because they have the power of faith as a buffer, but Shur does not believe in Anika, if Anika really transmits the sound directly into Shur's ears, it will inevitably activate the faith mark of Luna, the goddess of the dark moon in Shuer's soul, causing a collision of divine power, which is tantamount to a direct declaration of war.

Therefore, for the sake of both sides, the gods will never show themselves directly in front of non-believers.

"It's impossible for Lord Anika to speak to me directly, so I want to use you as a medium, which is why you have to come. "You don't need to be too cautious, you don't need to explain so much, under the Holy See, I can't think that the conversation that follows was made up by you in the name of Lord Anika, so don't worry." ”

"It's not without precedent, but it seems that I'm too careful, thank you, Shure ......" After a moment's hesitation, he still swallowed the honorific title in front of his name, and Archbishop Minnie smiled at Mauria, who was bored to chew leaves, "Little Moria, you have a very good eye, and you have found the most considerate partner. ”

"Eh, do you think so too? I'll just say, Shul is a very interesting human being, hehe, I didn't let him sleep on me in vain. ”

"Hey. "Shure's forehead blood vessels jumped, although it is true that there were a few times when he spent the night in the wilderness, because it was only them, he was too lazy to set up the camp, so Moria simply turned into a tree, and Shure climbed up and slept on the branches, but when Moria said it, it would always be misunderstood.

Fortunately, Archbishop Minnie did not delve into this question, turned around and walked to the statue of the goddess and bowed slowly, and the moment she turned around, a huge pressure suddenly came. Obviously, her appearance has not changed at all, but at this moment, her body is full of a sense of coercion, just standing casually, without even opening her eyes, people can't help but surrender in front of her.

"Ah, mother, you're here. "The first time he faced the true god, even Shuer was shocked, his body froze in place, and he couldn't react for a long time. On the contrary, Moria was not affected at all, and ran to the other party's side in a hurry, rubbing the deer body on the other party's body, and shaking the hair on her body comfortably.

"Hey, you're really getting taller again, and the last time you prayed to me, I didn't believe it. ”

"Hehe, because I ate well and slept well, I grew up again, and mother, you see, I have grown up here. ”

"Really? I'll see, lie, I can't hold it, what have you eaten, is there really such food in the mortal world?"

Twitter, chirp, the unique atmosphere of the forest spirit reappeared, and the problem was that although it looked like two forest spirits, it was not the real forest spirit.

"Tsk, it seems to have been ignored. Touching his nose, Xiuer could only smile bitterly, this goddess of the forest, her personality seems to be quite different from the canon of the forest church. No wonder the forest spirits are so individual, it's really a bloodline problem, but with this kind of goddess, can my plan really go well?

I thought about all kinds of boring questions for ten minutes, but the two noisy Lin Jing in front of me didn't mean to stop at all, and Xiu'er had to cough dryly to remind him of his existence.

"Huh, who are you?" was the first thing Anika Mori, one of the four main gods of the forest god system, the lord of ancient plants and forests, and the great divine goddess Anika, said to Xiu.
