Chapter 9:-for-tat

Although it is almost winter, the shores of the sacred lake are full of flowers and grass, which is completely contrary to the season. It is said that it was the divine power of Wendy who unconsciously descended to the mortal world through the doppelganger, and the surrounding plants will not wither all year round under the vigorous vitality of the earth, and every time the believer is allowed to visit the holy lake, he will sigh at the majesty of Wendy, and his faith will become stronger.

But the clergy know that this is complete nonsense.

A mature god, it is impossible for the divine power to be diverged casually, even in the mortal world clones are no exception, their divine power is free to retract and release, usually always condensed in the body of the god without emitting, only when the need will burst out, producing the effect of destroying the world and destroying the world. If it is casually diffused and uncontrolled, then these gods whose beliefs and divine power represent everything are estimated to die of heartache, and for tens of millions of years, they have long been astigmatized, how can they still maintain their existence.

In fact, some of the priests who know the secrets of the gods know that the flowers on the shore of the lake are not grateful, only because in the mythological era, the Lord of Flowers, a friend of Lord Wendy, once visited here, and the two gods descended into the mortal world in their main forms, walking along the shore of the lake, and the flowers bloomed all year round in the places they passed. As the years have passed, the plants on the shore have changed for countless generations, but as long as the plants grow here, they will remain alive even in the bitter cold.

However, since the believers have misunderstood, of course, there is no need to explain to them, and it is too late for the clergy to rejoice that they can inadvertently strengthen their faith in the Lord.

Walking along the holy lake, the whole temple is centered on the holy lake, arranged like a garden, in the end, the clergy are all women's church, every place is carefully cared for, the interior space, especially the private facilities of the archbishop, is arranged around is extraordinarily beautiful, not only flowers everywhere, there are even a few trees growing, and in winter there are also hanging fruits. Look at your own home again, tsk, no contrast, no harm.

Shure and Lisa glanced at each other and smiled tacitly, this place is indeed beautiful, but no matter how you look at it, it is more pleasing to the eye than the dilapidated temple in your own home.

Bypassing the sacred lake is a private area where visitors stop, and there is also a symbolic sentry, but out of courtesy, visitors who are qualified to enter the temple will not trespass, which is the most basic rule, especially the private space of the high-ranking clergy, and it is a forbidden area within a forbidden area.

Of course, it would be another matter if the archbishop had an explanation, so when Shul and Lisa settled the other five to rest and followed the archbishop to the private prayer room, they saw a few people who should not have been here according to the rules.

Among the six people, the only one who knew was Archbishop Minnie who stood under the throne of the forest goddess Anika, the only forest spirit who could be serious, was sitting in his seat in the form of an elf, silently enjoying the fragrance of flowers and tea, dignified and quiet, simply an outlier in Lin Jing.

Wait, as if ignoring something, Shur frowned, a vague sense of foreboding. His feet as he prepared to enter the door stayed in the air, and Shure stiffened and turned his head to look behind him. A few trees, fruits, and the familiar oak tree, are good, and the Temple of Water is probably going to be at peace.

"Hehe, the forest spirits are always so naughty. Archbishop Orlana sighed deeply, seemingly helpless, but in fact he didn't mind at all. Wendy-sama has a good relationship with several of the main gods of the forest gods, and the temples of the two sides often come and go, and the water believers are very fond of these forest spirits who take root everywhere and pretend to be wild plants, even if they are often teased by their pranks, but they are never too much, and people can't hate them.

It is estimated that because Archbishop Minnie is in the prayer hall, the forest spirits have reined in, otherwise, I am afraid that these guys have already made a fuss just after the past.

"I think it's better to pretend that you don't see anything. Shuer nodded earnestly, as if affirming his wisdom, "Let them take root here for the rest of their lives." ”

"Eh, Shure, why do you say that, I've let you see me change form. When Lin Jing transforms from a tree shape to another form, it is definitely impossible to wear clothes on his body, and the information content in this sentence is a bit big, "I obviously see ...... it"

"Bang", the door of the prayer room was slammed shut by Shuer, existence is spiritual pollution, and the race of forest spirits is really terrible. Besides, Lisa, there are so many outsiders, and they are all big shots, let's not secretly pinch me now, and then go back, okay?

"Shul Wright, Lord Luna's Battle Priest and the de facto master of the Darkmoon Temple, will also be the first priest to successfully get Myka Forest to accept the Xeno-God Temple. As soon as he entered, a cold sentence floated through him, "But can you really afford the responsibility entrusted to you by Lord Anika?"

Hey, this woman is a little scary, this is the most direct feeling in Shuer's heart when he sees the other party for the first time.

It was a female wood elf who spoke, and the only priest in the prayer hall who did not wear a holy robe.

With a red checkered skirt, short green hair, and a parasol hanging from his arm, there seems to be nothing special about it.

What's special is her demeanor.

The expression is cold and unsmiling, and there is a disregard for life in his eyes, this kind of look Xiuer has seen, not that he becomes indifferent after killing too many people, but only those murderers who really don't put life in their eyes, will have such indifference in their eyes. Shure has always been very careful when dealing with such people, because they may kill people for all kinds of inexplicable reasons without warning, and they will not feel guilty for taking their lives away afterwards.

"Oh, this priest who doesn't know the name. Shuer's face became gloomy, and his voice lowered a lot, "Your comment, can I take it as questioning my ability?"

-for-tat, this time Xiuer changed his normal state and pushed back without giving in, not that he suddenly changed his temperament, but that he knew very well that the other party liked such people.

Aloma, the apostle of the Lord of Flowers, is also an outlier among the Wood Elves and the most famous militant in the forest.

The Lord of Flowers is the embodiment of plants, and unlike several other life-loving gods of the forest gods, she ignores the lives of all intelligent creatures, and regards it as her duty to protect the forest and plants, and her followers also follow her example and are hostile to any behavior that destroys the forest ecology, and in order to protect the forest, the believers do not hesitate to be enemies of other intelligent creatures.

As the archbishop of the Temple of Flowers, Aloma is naturally a leader in protecting forests, and even in the era of the Temple of Peace, anyone who dares to destroy the forest ecology will be attacked mercilessly. It is said that three hundred years ago, when she was still young, she was so radical that the slightest hint of other intelligent beings would trigger her anger when they stepped into the forest, until she was admonished by the Lord of Flowers.

Fighting on the front line all year round has made her character extremely hard, only respecting the strong who have strength and achievements in various fields, and disdainful of weak creatures, so the more she cowers and retreats in front of her, the more she will despise her. Among the mercenaries who risked their lives to go deep into the forest to steal endangered rare plants, there used to be a rule that if you were unlucky enough to meet Aloma, there was only one way to die by begging for mercy and escaping, but instead to fight back head-on, and maybe there would be a chance of survival, of course, in fact, the people who did so were also dead, but it can be seen that her character has spread among the poachers.

Shur had never met Aloma, but he had studied the forest gods for his own plans, from the main god to the subordinate gods, and as for their apostles, they knew everything clearly, especially such iconic characters as Aloma, who he recognized as soon as he met, saying that he didn't know the name, and it was just a disguise.

Tsk, I hate accidents.

Shul does hate accidents, and for those who like to think about layouts, accidents are often the worst enemy.

In his plan, he didn't plan to deal with Aloma for a day if he didn't promote the legend, because dealing with her could only be-for-tat, but if he didn't have enough strength, it would be too dangerous to do so.

Unfortunately, Accident always favors those who hate him, and just now Archbishop Orlana only mentioned Minnie of the Forest Temple, but not Aloma, otherwise, Shure would never have attended the meeting.

Of course, it's a joke, as long as it is necessary, Xiuer will not change his mind because of the existence of a certain character, not to mention, he is not really afraid of her.

"Yes, I'm just questioning your abilities. Aloma said with a cold face, "How important is Lord Anika's mission, entrusting it to someone who is incompetent, it doesn't matter if you die, it is a felony to live up to Lord Anika's expectations." ”

"I'm so sorry, I'm an apostle of Lord Darkmoon, and I've never asked other gods to expect anything from me, and I can't afford it. So whether or not Anika-sama's expectations will be disappointed has nothing to do with me. As for the felony? Tsk, this lord, what is your identity that can convict the apostles of other gods without authorization, but do you really not take the covenant of the gods in the temple of gods seriously?"

Xiuer sneered disdainfully, but he was relieved in his heart, it was a good phenomenon not to do it directly, as long as he could communicate, it would be no problem.

"Questioning my strength, heh, it's funny, I've led the team to chase the shadows dozens of times, and each time I returned safely with my teammates, and I gained a lot, what is my strength, they are qualified to comment, and you? I don't know how many times you have been in and out of the projection gate? How many otherworldly monsters have you faced?"

"Oh, by the way, seeing that your strength is a legendary powerhouse, no wonder you want to question my strength, I'm afraid this is questioning my golden level combat power. However, if I'm not mistaken, the first time I chased the shadow, I relied on seven other gold-level teammates to kill their legendary leaders among the millions of enemies, and brought back eleven low-level warriors and ordinary people by the way. ”

"This lord, before questioning my strength, you might as well ask yourself if you can do this, otherwise if you speak rashly, you will not only lose the identity of the priesthood, but also disgrace the gods, hehehehe. ”
