After admiring the hot construction site a few times, Lu Li quickly walked into the brand-new hall, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw Ethelyn half-kneeling in front of the statue of the goddess praying. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The younger sister of the fairy sisters, at this moment, spread four translucent wings like insects, and her long silver hair like a waterfall scattered down her back to the ground, her eyes were closed, her hands were crossed into fists, and she always maintained a posture, and the light from the high window shone just in front of the statue of the goddess, looking full of solemnity and holiness.

As a nominal believer, Lu Li didn't mean to come forward to disturb, but stood silently and waited for the prayer to end.

Despite his instinctive rejection of surrendering his spiritual world to God, despite his extensive materialist upbringing, Ista is not one of the religions on earth that has long since become a tool for collecting money, she is real, capable of giving mortals the seeds of power, neither obliging believers to worship property, nor any rigid dogma that must be followed.

This is also the reason why Lu Li is willing to take the initiative to pay for the renovation of the temple.

In his opinion, true gods should be like this, except for proclaiming their own ideas, they do not interfere with mortal things at all, and everything is left to the choice of mortals themselves.

As for the religions on earth that are prone to asking for donations of money, observance of this clause, observance of that norm, or retribution and going to hell, it seems that man himself has come up with something to maintain his rule or satisfy his own desires, and he would rather throw all his money into the sea than donate even a penny to such an organization.

Etheline's prayer was not long, it was over in just a few minutes.

When she opened her eyes and found Lu Li standing aside, she immediately showed a happy smile and stammered, "You...... You...... You're back?"

"Yes, I'm back!What about the others?, why didn't I see your naughty sister?" Lu Li looked around vigilantly.

Since every time Erina appeared, he would wait for an opportunity to knock a dull stick on his back, so from the moment he stepped into the temple, he tensed the nerves all over his body, and he was ready to dodge at any time.

"Sister...... My sister wasn't there, she ...... She went out early in the morning with the money and said...... Said yes...... Take advantage of your name to return ...... Still...... I haven't taken it down from the bulletin board yet, and I preach more about the teachings of the goddess, and fight for ...... Strive to get more people here to complete enlightenment. Etheline, who was shy, finally managed to squeeze this sentence out of her throat.

"Whoa—I don't see that Irena can do something reliable once in a while. Lu Li touched his chin in surprise.

But this thought lasted less than a second, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong, and immediately asked: "You just said that she had money? Where did she get the money? I don't remember giving her any money?"

This question made Etheline's already slightly red face even redder, and she replied, "Yes...... It's a guild branch...... Pay the winnings as you ...... You're not here, so sister...... My sister went and secretly brought it out......"

"What...... What !!"

Lu Li suddenly felt a bolt from the blue, and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, the bonus he had worked so hard to get was actually claimed by someone!

Alone!

No!

A goblin who lived for hundreds of years!

A dignified sage!

How can it be so shameless!

Although he didn't really care about the prize that would not exceed 10,000 gold pagodas at most, he must not encourage this unhealthy atmosphere!

"Both...... It's all my sister's idea alone...... I...... I persuaded her, but she didn't listen......" Seeing that Lu Li was in a tendency to get angry, Ethelyn hurriedly cleared up the relationship.

She didn't want to be implicated by her sister, and in the end she was reduced to the point where she needed to be abducted and deceived to fill her stomach.

"Don't worry! I must teach Erina a lesson today! Let's see if she dares to act recklessly in the future!" Lu Li clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

"You...... What are you going to teach her a lesson......? My sister is a sage, and as soon as she steps into the temple, she will immediately be protected by the goddess...... If someone showed malice, she would perceive it in an instant......" Ethelyn reminded weakly with a wink of her wide, smart eyes.

Lu Li smiled and pinched his knuckles, and said in a malicious tone: "Then get her at the gate of the temple! I have a plan! Stick your ears over......"

Driven by curiosity, the fairy girl pricked up her pointed ears and leaned her head over to hear what could be done to fix her troublesome sister.

As a result, it didn't take long for her eyes to show a trace of horror, and she shook her head desperately: "No...... If my sister knew that I lied to her, she would definitely come back with a fierce revenge in the future!"

"Don't be afraid! I'll support you! Listen! You have to learn to fight! You can't let Erina do everything! Otherwise, this temple will be as dilapidated as before in a short time! Do you still want to starve with her?" Lu Li pressed the girl's shoulders and instigated in demagogic language.

He knew very well that in order to teach the hateful fairy sister a memorable lesson, he had to get his sister's support, otherwise with the alertness of the other party, he might be detected before he could get closer.

Hearing about starvation, Ethelyn subconsciously struck a clever "No! I don't want to starve!"

"Very good! Since you don't want to starve, make a line with Erina and let everyone know that you're a good goblin and your sister is a bad goblin. See, I know that, so I brought you a gift. ”

Lu Li said as he took out a box of beautifully packaged fruit hard candies from the backpack behind him.

As the saying goes, know with reason, move with affection, and induce with profit.

With a three-pronged approach, he didn't believe that he couldn't handle the shy girl in front of him, even though the other party was almost old enough to be his grandmother.

After all, if you want to deal with a naughty bear child, the best way is not only to simply punish him, but also to find a way to isolate him, if no one cares about what he does, then the bear child will not be able to bear it.

Etheline carefully opened the lid of the box, shrugged her nose and sniffed it gently, then picked up one of the pieces and put it in her mouth, an extremely happy expression appeared on her face instantly, and her whole mouth kept squirming, as if she wanted to record the sweet and sour taste in the depths of her mind forever.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes and asked in an expectant voice, "Ru...... If I help you deal with your sister, you ...... Will you bring this delicious thing with you in the future?"

"Of course, I promise!" Lu Li agreed without thinking about it.

"That'...... Okay then! while my sister is still ...... We haven't come back yet, so we've got to get ...... Set up ......"

Ethelyn finally chose the latter between her sister and Hard Candy, and began to take the initiative to cooperate with Lu Li's plan.

In just a few minutes, the two of them set a trap at the entrance of the temple and waited for Irina's arrival...... (To be continued.) )
