Chapter 6: Angry at Charlene
Gramorgan, the town of the brave.
Under the golden sunlight and ultramarine sky, the large frog temple in the center of the town shines, a strange building thirty feet tall and one hundred and sixty feet in circumference. Above the gate is several tiers of colonnades, with elaborate arches of slender columns stacked in the shape of ivy, covering the entire front of the gate, and decorated with spear-like spires.
The exterior walls of the temple are made of red and white marble, and the ancient murals are painted with the epic of a giant frog governing the landscape, devouring poisonous insects, and defending against foreign enemies.
Outside the door, there are two huge stone frog sculptures, with their mouths wide open in the shape of swallowing the moon, and various types of poisonous snakes are carved on the pedestal, which are steadily pressed under the buttocks by the stone frogs, suggesting the name of the temple owner, the god of snake devouring.
Judging from the area alone, the specifications of this temple are close to the Earl's Court, and from the legal point of view, it belongs to the encroachment of the Eight Classics, if it were not for the ability of this last god to attract wealth and treasure, Charlene would have sent someone to bulldoze its temple a long time ago.
Can make the second Miss Tudor open her eyes and close her eyes, the ability of the frog god is naturally unique, and it is one thing to make the land where it is located rich and rich, and its magical blessings are another, and the most important point is that this ancient god does not resist taxes.
Mercenaries from other countries, both local and in the Order Alliance, after tasting the benefits of worshipping the frog god, almost all of them chose to forget about Christ the Redeemer for a while. In the eyes of this group of people, worshipping the frog god during their lifetime, confessing to God when they were dying, and buying a book of atonement with the money they earned from improving their fortune could not be more perfect.
Relying on the baby bump of the frog god, the frog temple and the brave town are already overcrowded, and there are often tourists who ask for wealth, peace, and beauty to donate money and materials.
Among them, the White Crow Mercenary Regiment that received rigorous training at the Sound Nest Training Base. After tasting the sweetness of the "immediate frog", I was ashamed to leave God behind, and went to the temple to worship the frog god when I had nothing to do, hoping for the blessing of the gods.
Between the pillars of silver, a petite figure sat on a coral throne, watching and throw herself to the ground. The four mercenaries who kept worshipping had a satisfied expression on their childish faces.
These four people are quite religious in their faith, and they are earning to bless them, unlike those Yahweh believers, who gave them benefits, and they turned around and went to thank God, which was disgusting to death.
"Quack!"
A beautiful croaking of frogs sounded in the hall like wind chimes, and the heads of Vane, Ciel, Martin, and Kassanda shimmered at the same time, and soon gathered into the shape of a miniature golden frog. Hidden into their bodies.
"This is a blessing from the frog at once, and you should not thank the true God!" said a priest with an apple face and a sweet voice, tapping the long stick in his hand and reprimanding him in a serious manner.
"Praise be the true god Moria!" the four of them bowed sincerely with surprise on their faces.
A faint power of faith rose from their bodies, unobservable to the naked eye, tangled into silk threads in the void, merging into the body of the frog god Moriah on the coral throne.
After accepting their beliefs, the ancient god's baby face suddenly appeared with a look of intoxication.
......
After the four of them unexpectedly received the blessing of improving their financial fortune. Escorted by the previous priest, he walked out of the temple. Just as he was about to leave the door, Vane winked at Kasan Day.
The latter immediately took out a clay pot from his sleeve and stuffed it into the priest's hand without a trace:
"Priest Speer, this is a little bit of our heart, please don't refuse. ”
"I am a priest who is dedicated to serving Lord Moria, how can I take your money. Spelton grimaced. Righteously, he pushed the clay pot away.
"It's not money!" Vane quickly glanced around, and explained in a low voice:
"This is a special peppercorn sauce that we asked a friend to bring from the East, although it is not as strong and spicy as the one on the western continent, but it also has a different flavor. It's not very valuable, it's just a little bit of what we give you in return. ”
"You also have a heart. ”
Priest Speer turned his anger to joy. quietly put away the jar of chili sauce, and then quickly waved his hand:
"From what I have observed, Lord Moriah is very fond of you, remember, be pious, do not have distractions, and do not believe in other gods. As long as you do this, the true God will continue to bless you, go back. ”
"Praise the true God!"
The four of them immediately prayed again, then bowed and stepped out of the temple gates.
After leaving the Frog Temple, the head of the group, Vain, breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relaxed face:
"Finally, the gift has been sent, so that as long as Priest Speer becomes a saint, it should be much easier for us to meet Lord Moriah in the future. ”
"I just hope that after becoming a saint, Priest Speer can remember us, otherwise this jar of peppercorns will be given away for nothing, it is the same weight of gold!"
Hill thought about the peppercorns sent out by the jar, and said with a tangled face.
The peppercorns shipped from the Far East are a luxury even in Rosevia, and Vane is fooling people when he says that it is worthless, and Officer Speer is still very young and simple, so he really doesn't understand this, but he just loves spicy food.
"But I heard that the selection of the Holy Maiden is subject to the approval of the lord, will it ...... Elect Officer Speer?" Martin interjected worriedly.
"Probably not. Heaton shook his head decisively and said, "It's been several weeks in a row that this priest has served Lord Moria, and it's not a hint, isn't that what it means?" ”
"Anyway...... Do any of you know how Priest Speer got his favor?" Kasanneday asked with an envious expression.
"Who knows. ”
Vane glanced at her silently, and then said softly: "But I heard others say that her holy songs are beautiful, and Lord Morella likes to hear her sing the most, cough cough, and the next words can't be said." ”
"Don't spread these rumors! Martin drew a cross on his chest, closed his eyes reverently, and prayed softly:
"Praise be the true God, Moriah, who gives us wealth and peace. ”
The three of them suddenly showed disgusted expressions, and scolded in unison: "You idiot, why do you praise Lord Moriah for drawing a cross!"
Because belief in God has long since disappeared, many believers do not know that they will have a wonderful connection with the true God when they choose their faith. So much so that under the deliberate eavesdropping of the frog god, the words of the White Crow Mercenary Group came to her ears word for word.
"Damn!"
Moria snorted hatefully, and with a flick of the two eyes on the cap, the god's body immediately turned into a brilliant golden light, flying directly out of the temple spire, heading straight for the direction of the Earl's Palace.
......
Earl's Court, Office.
"Soros, this guy, doesn't know how to save me a little money. ”
Charlene looked at the seven-digit spending, her beautiful eyebrows curled into a small but delicate knot on her forehead, and said reluctantly, but for the sake of the future of the Sound Nest base, she could only pinch her nose and put her own stamp on the bill.
"Enhancement potion, you can come out as soon as possible......" The green-haired girl muttered as she put away the bill, suddenly turning her head and staring directly at the window beside her.
Whoosh!
A golden light shone through the window, circled around the room, and landed on the couch on the side wall of the desk.
"Moria?"
Charlene put down the work at hand, looked at the sofa with a surprised face, and asked a little curiously:
"You don't want to stay in the temple and accept the worship of believers, what are you doing here?"
"Why is there so much spread the word that I'm going to appoint Speer as a saint?" said the frog god, puffing out his cheeks in displeasure.
"Speer?"
The green-haired girl didn't react for a while, and when she remembered the name, her pretty face immediately piled up an ambiguous smile:
"So that little lover of yours, isn't this what you ordered?"
"Lover?"
The frog god suddenly became angry, and his petite body jumped up suddenly, jumped on the sofa and screamed, "Who said this!?"
"That's what everybody says. ”
Charlene didn't expect the other party to be so angry, and retorted with some hesitation:
"Isn't it?"
"Is what others say true? Don't see the wind and rain all day long, this kind of rumor-mongering, the Governor's Office should also judge whether it is true or false? If these things are completely out of nothing, you can help him repeat it, and if my preaching goes wrong in the future, you are equivalent to--you are also responsible?!"
"What's the matter with me?"
The green-haired girl rolled her eyes and snorted coldly: "You have taken that girl with you for a long time and taken such good care of her, as long as you are a clear-eyed person, you will feel a sense of inner determination, hand-picking." ”
"No, no, absolutely no such thing!"
Moria was anxious, raised her hands and argued, "Everything is still selected in accordance with the regulations of the Governor's Mansion and the basic rules we have set before...... Go to produce. ”
“......”
Charlene stared at the other party expressionlessly for a while, and when she finished venting, she leaned her right cheek forward and showed a cute smile again:
"There is no one else here, there is no need to hide between you and me, you just tell me clearly that you do not support Speer as a saint. ”
"You asked me if I supported ......"
The frog god blushed, pointed his two thin white index fingers, and replied in a snort:
"Then I'm definitely for it. ”
"I see what you mean!"
The green-haired girl immediately clasped her palms, her eyes flashed with fine light, and she said bluntly:
"You just want the Governor's Mansion to come forward and appoint Priest Speer as a saint, and by the way, clear up the rumors between the two of you, don't you mean that?"
"I don't think it's the best to say anything!" said Moria, with her hands on her chest, her little face turned her face away, and she said with a look of disdain. (To be continued.) )
