Chapter 34: Myself

Although he had a premonition, when Shur was really led by Minnie, he walked higher and higher in the forest temple, and finally reached the top of the temple, he was inevitably a little surprised, especially when he saw the building that was not large in size and not gorgeously decorated, but exuded a strong divine aura, this kind of building had reached its peak.

Like the quiet room in the Temple of the Dark Moon, the small room in front of Shur is the hub of the entire forest temple, where the true body of the forest goddess Anika is located, and each temple of the true god has a similar room, and its location is theoretically the connection point between the divine kingdom of the gods and the mortal world, and it is also the root of the direct influence of the gods on their mortal territory, that is, the sacred realm.

Although the forces of the mortal world cannot interfere with this connection point, there is actually no substantive difference whether the church closely guards this position, such as a poor church in the past few hundred years, there is no difference whether it is guarded or not, but as long as the church has the ability, it will be listed as a forbidden place, and no unrelated people are allowed to approach, even devout believers, there are strict rules for wanting to approach, and anyone who violates it will suffer the strongest counterattack from the church, because just one symbolic meaning is enough for all believers to defend this place with their lives。

Even the most friendly churches with the most harmonious relationship do not visit each other's temple centers, just like the believers of the two gods, Flora and Anika, have never seen each other's temple centers, theoretically speaking, Shure will not have the opportunity to visit the center of the forest temple, but from Minnie told him this morning that the meeting place with Lord Anika is not in the temple of the gods, but in the forest temple thousands of miles away, Shur has already had a hunch that the location of the meeting must be the center of the forest temple.

Because although the sacred hall of the temple of gods is called the closest place to the gods, it is the result of excluding the special position of the center of the temple, in fact, as the connection point between the kingdom of God and the present world, the central hall is the real foot of the gods, well, it's just that normal people are not qualified to approach, so they retreat. Therefore, in addition to the fact that Shure, a dissident, could enter the central hall, there was no possibility that he would be allowed to leave alive, and the only explanation left was that Anika attached great importance to this meeting and would rule out any possible interference at all costs.

The problem is that the more the gods pay attention to it, the more difficult the task will be, and even Minnie, who is leading the way, is worried about whether these actions of Lord Anika will directly scare the cunning guy behind him away. Don't look at that guy is greedy for money and shameless, in fact, he is quite cautious, and it will not be surprising to see that Lord Anika is so cautious and turns around and runs.

But fortunately, Minnie looked back, although Shuer's expression was a little surprised, but there was no sign of escaping for the time being, but a relaxed smile, from time to time to laugh with Moria, the calm appearance made Minnie a little suspicious, whether this guy had some conspiracy. Seeing Minnie turn around, Shul spread his hands and smiled innocently.

"This is it. Stopping outside the central hall on the highest level, Minnie carefully sorted out the forest robe specially made for the body of the forest elves, the green robe was woven from fresh leaves, which looked very unsturdy, but in fact, this was the unique craftsmanship of the wood elves, and the power of forest magic was incorporated into the weaving, so it was much stronger than the normal cloth robe. Smoothing out the wrinkles in her robe, Minnie took a deep breath and wanted to say anything more to Shul and Moria, but hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing.

"Oh, don't worry, Minnie-sama. Although she was silent, Shur took the initiative to respond with a smile, "Since I have made a promise, then I will do my best to fulfill it, after all, I am not only a priest, but also an upright person." ”

"Huh?"

"Ahem, I mean, he's also a bottom-line person. Shuer coughed dryly, "Lord Anika has perfectly fulfilled the original agreement, then I, as one of my lord's agents in the mortal world, naturally can't do things that damage my lord's honor, so you can rest assured, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, I will try my best to seize it." ”

"Thank you. Minnie bowed deeply, saluted solemnly to Shuer, and turned her head to push open the wooden door of the central hall, "Still like before, I will serve as a carrier to welcome the arrival of my lord, and the specific matters will be explained to you by my lord himself." As a priest, I hope that nothing will happen to you, and as friends, I hope that you will still be ......"

"Hahaha, rest assured, I'm not so prone to accidents, and I plan to wait for the end of this mission to go back to my hometown...... Ahem, nothing. As if he suddenly felt endless malice, Shuer's strong desire to survive made him swallow the rest of his words back, and followed Minnie into the central hall, "Anyway, I...... Uh, so fast?"

Yes, before he finished his nonsense, an incomprehensible force suddenly came out from the small icon at the end of the central hall, connecting Minnie and the icon tightly, and at the same time, the majestic divine power spread outward, not only throughout the entire forest city, but even swept through a third of the Maika forest. Wherever the power passed, the beasts hibernated, the forests were silent, and the intelligent creatures, whether they were Anika believers or not, instinctively bent down and paid homage to the powerful.

At the same time, as if sensing something, Shuer's body also burst out with a divine power, without the breath of the forest, without the heat of vitality, with a bit of coldness and indifference, just like the lightless moon hanging high in the sky at night, but can never be observed by the naked eye. The power of the dark moon was immediately reaped, as if it had never appeared, but it was impossible for any of the 'people' present to really ignore it, Minnie's body glanced at Xiu'er with strange eyes, but tacitly did not delve into it.

"Praise be to the Lord of Plants, may the forest be evergreen, may the ......"

"Alright, Shure. Borrowing Minnie's body, the goddess of the forest directly interrupted Shur's praise, "Recognizing your status, having participated in the meetings of the Temple of the Gods, you don't need to say this kind of nonsense to anyone now, you won't ...... I don't know what it means to be a conference. ”

"Uh, yes. Shure scratched his head, "But, I think it's easy to say, and there's no one who says I can't say it." ”

Anika couldn't help but roll her eyes humanely, too lazy to pay attention to this boring fellow, and beckoned to Moria, and the fawn screamed for her mother, and she jumped up and down to Anika's side, and the two deer began to huddle together and rub against each other, and they didn't worry about rubbing their hair off.

"Wait, Lord Anika, let's get down to business before you start discussing which comb bristles are more comfortable. Shu'er suddenly remembered the key question of the day, "Since you are about to set off, you can always tell me which botanical deity is lost in the depths of the rift." ”

"Yes. Anika said lightly, "Myself." ”8)
