"These are all local merchants, and when they knew that I was the goddess of Ada, they all came to them in the hope that I would give them divine power. ”

The merchants who had been around Diluka now retreated to the back, and Richard took Fina and Onexia, who seemed to see from the conversation between Richard and Diluka on an equal footing that Richard seemed to be an extraordinary demon, and there was some fear and resistance on their faces.

Richard pulled Diluca a little farther away, and the merchants returned to normal. Some even fold their hands together and chant words.

Richard heard what they were saying.

"Goddess bless me with a prosperous business!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, Goddess blessed me!"

"Woo woo woo! I didn't expect to be able to talk to the legendary goddess Diluka, and my years of struggle finally ...... It's finally paying off. ”

"Hey, Diluca. Richard elbowed Diluka, and Diluca spun around, with guilt on his face for the bad looks of the merchants.

"What's wrong? Richard?"

Richard raised his chin to the merchant, "You're being prayed for." ”

Diluka was a little puzzled: "I'm a goddess, what's so strange about this? Richard, aren't you also the god of your world, haven't you been prayed to?"

Richard thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, at least not in front of me." ”

Diluka chuckled and quipped, "Then you god is a failure, and you don't even have anyone to pray to you." ”

Richard squinted and snorted, "But I, the failed god, defeated you, the successful god." ”

Diluka pursed her lips and didn't speak. Richard crossed his waist and shook his head, the merchants here really didn't interest him, and patted Diluka on the shoulder and turned away.

"Walk with me. ”

"Oh. Deluka said goodbye to the merchants very kindly, and caught up with Richard and followed her.

There are no food stores that Onexia likes in the ancient street, so Fina gives her some change, and Onexia goes to the business district to spend. Fina and Diluka accompanied Richard around the ancient streets. The old streets are quieter, and there are almost no pedestrians in sight. Richard was very fond of this kind of ancient architecture, and he would carefully admire it everywhere he went.

"That's right, Diluka. Richard turned his head and asked, "I remember you were worshipped as the goddess of business, but I didn't see any business talent in you." Even Fina is better than you in business, so why are you called the god of commerce? It's not because Ida has a merchant guild, right?"

Diluka frowned slightly: "Do you think it's strange that I'm the god of business?"

Richard nodded: "In my understanding, this kind of god should have the corresponding talent to be competent. Your prestige in Ida is convincing, but this merchant ......"

Richard smiled, as a businessman, Diluka is very hard working and honest, but honesty and hard work are not enough in the businessman industry.

Richard was not upset when Richard was a little ridiculous, but agreed with it: "Actually, I don't think I'm suitable myself." You just said that Ida has a commercial guild, and this commercial guild was not established by me, it is the result of human efforts. ”

"Oh, and what do you contribute to Ada's business?"

"Probably only to protect the safety of the merchant group, eliminate the thieves one by one, and maintain the law and order of Ada. ”

Richard was a little stunned: "So because you protected them, they revered you as the god of commerce?"

"That's probably it. ”

Richard turned out of the old street, crossed his waist and looked around to take a break. In just a few moments, I heard the merchants who had just received Diluka's blessing boasting that they had the blessing of the goddess.

When the merchant saw Diluka, he took the initiative to run up to greet Diluka, and Diluka did not have the frame of a goddess to talk to him, which proved the truth of what the merchant had just preached. After the merchant left, Richard asked with a somewhat unkind face, "Don't you care about this?"

Diluka looked at Richard blankly: "What's the matter?"

"They're borrowing your name for profit!"

Diluka laughed, "Isn't that what the goddess of commerce does? I protect them, and blessed merchants should use my name?"

Richard gestured in the air, "Do you know what kind of businessman he is, do you know if this businessman is legal in the course of business, and do you dare to protect them without knowing anything?"

Diluka said calmly: "The merchants pray to me, I will respond to their faith, and the rest is their own business, whether they can develop well depends on their efforts, if they violate the local laws, the human security forces will catch them." ”

Richard laughed: "However, there is an underground chamber of commerce in Ida. Goddess Ida, please tell me, why haven't Ada's security forces eliminated these underground chambers of commerce?"

Diluka was speechless for a moment, and Richard continued: "Those underground chambers of commerce also believe in you in public. ”

Diluka nodded, and Richard smiled, "You also blessed them." ”

Diluka bit her lower lip and nodded.

Richard sighed: "You're being used by these humans, aren't you angry?"

Diluka was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I never thought of such a thing, and even if you said so, I wasn't upset. ”

This time it was Richard's turn to choke, if it was his own, if he was used by these humans, the next wave of revenge would be to greet them.

"I just need to protect this land and its people, and even if they are used, I am happy if they can work hard, and even if there are other problems, as long as I am here, I can lead them back to the right path," Diluka continued. ”

Richard smiled helplessly: "I have once again seen the consciousness of the goddess, you are a qualified guardian, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that you didn't lead them back to the right path, using your underground chamber of commerce to eventually cause Ada's downfall, and without them, Rocky's actions wouldn't have gone so well. And I ended up being the de facto owner there. ”

Diluka looked at Richard, "But it didn't affect the lives of the majority of the people, and I am satisfied with your governance in the occupied territories, so I will stay by your side to help you." ”

"What if one day you're not satisfied?"

Diluka said firmly, "If there really is such a day, I will be the first to stand up and attack you, even if I will fail in the end!"
