Chapter 608: The Last Discipline
In the holy palace, Atheline knelt in prayer before the statue of the goddess, and as the golden sunset shone through the skylight at the top, adding a sense of solemnity and solemnity to the majestic hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although the gods no longer respond to the prayers of sages, priests, and believers since the Great War of the Gods and Demons, many people still retain the habit of praying, partly just to find a sustenance for their spiritual world, and some to thank the gods for their contribution to the surface world during the Great War.
Obviously, the fairy sister undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
As a devout priest, even when she was hungry, she did not forget to clean the dust from the statue every day and pray to the goddess she served.
Lu Li, who had just walked into the spacious hall, did not immediately disturb the girl, but raised his head to look at the statue's lifelike eyes.
I don't know what unscientific magic technology people from other worlds have used to make two huge opals look like real eyes, no matter where you stand in the hall, you will find that the statue's eyes just stare at you, as if confirming the religious tone of God's omnipresence and omniscience.
However, it is a pity that he, who has already received more than ten years of materialist education, cannot offer extremely pious faith like adventurers in other worlds, at best, he is in awe of this incredible life form of God, and he is grateful to the goddess Ista for giving him the power of adventurers.
In fact, the majority of Chinese people have a very ambiguous attitude towards religion, neither as the Europeans see it as the cornerstone of morality and law, and many religious practices have deeply influenced the development of their social ideology.
In the same way, it is not as extreme and fanatical as in the Middle East, and even today there are many people who call non-believers "kafeilets" and consider them sinful and deserve to be killed, and their souls fall into hell to be burned in the flames of terror.
Lu Li once met an old lady who believed in Christianity, and her prayer was to place a cross on the incense table, then serve a huge pig's head with sauce, followed by three sticks of incense, and muttered that the Lord would bless her grandson with a good university and a happy life for her children......
Doesn't it sound a little disobedient, full of comedy?
That's right!
This is the most typical attitude of the vast majority of traditional Chinese towards religion, to put it bluntly, it is to seek peace of mind, pragmatism is very obvious, and they don't really care what god they worship.
To some extent, Lu Li's attitude towards the goddess Ista is similar, the only difference is that he has a higher education, so he does not put a pig's head and three sticks of incense......
Just as he began to spread out, the fairy sister finished her evening prayer and turned around with a surprised look on her face and asked, "Huh, ......are you?" Aren't you supposed to go to the Northern Frontier Fortress......? Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
"Something not so good happened, so I had to come back early and report it to the guild. Lu Li spread his hands helplessly. "By the way, where did your sister and her two henchmen go?"
"Sister...... Sister, she should ...... now. Should play tricks on Robben and Henrik. Etheline replied weakly.
As she said this, she also glanced cautiously outside, as if she was afraid that the mischievous trio would hear.
Seeing the girl's cautious appearance, Lu Li smiled and teased: "So, Erina has sprouted again?"
Ethelyn nodded solemnly and stammered, "That's right......! Since I had a helper, my sister's recent courage ...... Growing bold, just yesterday she filled one with cow ...... Bags of cow dung were sprinkled over the market, and many people were smashed in the face by the cow dung. She...... If she continues like this, she will definitely be arrested and imprisoned. ā
"Hmph, let Erina go in and suffer a little, let her go, I'm here today for a matter I want your help with. As he spoke, Lu Li took out an empty glass test tube from his pocket.
He didn't care if the naughty fairy sister was going to be arrested, anyway, the profession of a sage itself was equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death, no matter how big a mess it caused, the guild elders would look at the face of the goddess and take it lightly.
"Help...... How can it help?" Ethelyn's eyes widened, rubbing the corners of her skirt a little confused.
"Quite simply, give me ten of your tears. Lu Li raised the glass test tube in his hand, trying not to look like a weird Shu Huang who abducted Lori.
No way, although when he was a middleman, he had almost thrown away things like festivals, but he didn't expect to throw away the last remaining bit today.
"Eye...... Tears?What do you want goblin tears for?" Ethelyn subconsciously became vigilant.
After all, goblins are a race that lives longer than elves, and their tears have special properties that can be used to make some more dangerous items.
Lu Li explained with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I just used it to make a prop called Snooping the Magic Eye, and this thing has no lethal power." ā
"Oh......" Ethelyn nodded in realization, and quickly said with some embarrassment, "But ...... But the problem is, I can't cry now?"
"I've got a good idea! Lu Li quickly took out a small iron box from his pocket and opened the lid. Green sugar cubes with a pungent smell are revealed.
The fairy sister picked up one of them, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, and immediately sneezed several times in a row, and asked in fear, "What is this......?" It's choking!"
"Uh...... You can think of it as a type of candy, but it's a little strange that it's not there. Okay, don't ask so much, hurry up and take it in. Lu Li couldn't help but say, and directly forcibly stuffed the green candy into the girl's mouth.
Moment!
A terrible wave filled Etheline's tongue, throat, and nose before it was half a minute, and she spat it out, crying out in tears, "Ahh
"Relax, relax, it's not poison, it's just mustard candy with a heavy spicy taste. Come, drink some water, and you'll be fine soon. While comforting the other party, Lu Li quickly used a test tube to catch the tears that slipped on his face, and completed the task of this trip in the blink of an eye.
After getting the necessary materials to make the snooping on the magic eye, he didn't have the courage to face Etheline's aggrieved and resentful eyes, and after promising to make amends in the future, he hurriedly fled the temple, intending to go to the pharmacy to get the rest done.
