Morning. The west of the small town.

It's a place close to the lake and the view is nice.

The meadows, the flowers of the stars, everything seems so beautiful, in such a city that is gradually becoming noisy, this is a place that is simply alive for spring.

The lake is not large, about the size of a football field, in the western corner of the small city, flowing quietly, calmly looking at the sky, and there is a large river that stretches endlessly.

However, compared to the turbulence of the big river, the small lake seems extremely quiet and peaceful. The shallow young grass and bright flowers also grow quietly in the lakeside area, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers unique to spring.

On a small road around the small lake, which is forced to be stepped out by pedestrians, some idle city residents, or men and women together, or grandchildren strolling, a large family, in the morning, when the air is fresh, there are not a few people who come to stroll.

And next to this beautiful little lake, is a very elegant-looking building. Those who come out in the morning for morning exercises, whenever they walk past this building, will deliberately lower their voices, their expressions will change from relaxed to sincere and serious, and their steps will be gentle, and when they walk to the main entrance, they will even stop, close their eyes, put their hands together in front of their chests, pray sincerely for a while, and then leave here gently. It was only when they were far away from the confines of the building that they reverted to their playful surnames, or to talk or laugh, unscrupulously.

Inside the building, in the middle of the small square, a statue of a god about five meters high was carved to life. This is the image of a goddess. She stood on a high platform in a posture of gazing at all beings.

Behind her, on the relief wall, there are reliefs of bulls and countless beautiful trees and flowers.

The statue of this goddess is all carved from white marble, she wears a crown of flowers and plants on her head, wears a green dress, her face is beautiful, the curve of the female surname is faintly visible, and the charm of the female surname is very palpitating, and what makes people look at the palpitations is that although she is only a statue, her eyes are very expressive, this is the goddess of the earth, Isis.

The people stopped just now, and they were praying to her. This is a temple of the goddess of the earth, different from the style of the temple in Rika Town, although this temple covers a large area, but, in terms of architecture, it is more inclined to be elegant, quiet, peaceful, Rustic and restrained style, however, this simplicity is only the initial feeling, as long as you walk into this temple, really experience it, you will feel that here, there is a huge aura and magic aura that cannot be felt in the town temple, although the building does not look grander than the building of the temple of Rika Town, but it makes people feel that they want to pay respect.

Walking along the main road of the temple, the flowers and trees on both sides of the road are growing naturally, and they are constantly growing upwards and growing with the joy of spring.

However, unlike plants, humans are lazy in the spring season.

"Today's weather is really good. An elderly man in a priest's robe, leaning back on a soft chair under a tree, enjoying the warm sunshine while enjoying the warmth of the leaves, sighed softly at the brightness of the sun.

The old priest's appearance is very ordinary, but although his facial features are not brilliant alone, they give people a very peaceful feeling when they are put together. Kind. Because of the deposition of the years, there is an extra peaceful temperament.

The beard was long, hanging down from his chest, neatly groomed, and the wind blew his beard gently, and he looked quite holy when he was wearing such a white priest's robe.

In front of the old priest there was a small log table, which was not very high, and it was not far from him, just as far as he could reach when he reached out his hand. On this small wooden table in the courtyard are some transparent plates, and some seasonal fruits are placed on the plates, which look very bright and attractive.

The old priest sighed softly as he reached out and grabbed the fruit, eating it slowly. He seems to enjoy this feeling of tranquility and peace very much, and it seems that eating is not just for the sake of eating, but just an action to match the whole atmosphere.

However, at this time, a burst of footsteps suddenly came in from outside, and the sound came from far and near, as if it was running in this direction.

The old priest frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied that someone disturbed his rest at this time.

"Teacher, I heard that you are looking for me?" Soon, the person came to this position, and seeing that the old pastor had already opened his eyes, the person who came immediately stood in front of the old pastor very respectfully, and asked softly.

Seeing that it was a student he had taught, the old pastor's dissatisfaction suddenly decreased a lot, but he still frowned and said. "Shast, it's not me talking about you, you usually perform very well, but you always can't hold your breath at critical moments, which makes me very uneasy. Now that I'm old, I'm still stuck in the stage of level five, presumably, it is difficult to make a breakthrough, you are still young, and now you have reached the level of level three, I hope that on the road in the future, you can have better development. Okay, you're doing well, but don't always have a fight with others, you're a pastor, and what a pastor has to do is to believe in God, and there are many things that you can't fight for. ”

"Yes, yes!" The person who came, who was also a priest, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, nodded his head and said yes, but immediately, the priest named Shast couldn't help but say with a complicated expression. "Teacher, what you said is right, but you still have to be in charge of this matter, which has affected the reputation of the temple and tarnished the glory of the goddess. ”

"Oh, what's so serious?"

"That's right, the Adventurers' Guild has officially sent a letter to the temple asking for an investigation into this matter, it is about Tenis......" Pastor Shast said quickly, trying not to increase his likes and dislikes, but his heart was extremely excited.

At the same time as Tenis, but Tenis relied on a little backstage, first became the presiding priest, with the temple, the presiding party, it is naturally easy to obtain divine grace, so Tenis has made rapid progress, although in recent years, it seems to be stagnant, but it is also level four, and Shast has worked hard, and now it is only level three.

"So that's what happened!" After listening to Pastor Shast's words, the old priest suddenly fell into deep thought.

Seeing him pondering, Shast cautiously reported the movements in the city.

Because of the announcement of the adventurer's union, as well as the tandem between the adventurers, the matter of the priest Tenis has slowly spread in the adventurer's circle.

Moreover, not only the circle of adventurers, because many adventurers often go to taverns and other places to eat and drink, it is inevitable that they will talk about this topic that makes them angry, and many people in small towns slowly began to talk about it.

Although this matter has nothing to do with the temple of the small town, because they are all priests of the goddess of agriculture, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of embarrassment when listening to malicious comments on the road, and the impact is not good.

The old priest listened, and after a moment, said, "It seems that it is indeed going to be cleaned up." ”

After speaking, he looked at Shast meaningfully.

As a teacher, Shast's thoughts, he didn't know, it was only forbidden to fight before, but now, if this happened, he could bring it up openly, make Tenis down, and give his disciples a chance.

"Obey your orders, teacher!" Because the promise was so refreshing, Pastor Shast was still a little incredulous, but in the blink of an eye, seeing that the teacher's demeanor was affirmative, Pastor Shast was secretly happy. In his opinion, as long as the priest Tenis falls, then, in the temple, with the fact that he is almost at the level of the fourth level, presumably, the position of presiding priest should be obtained, right?

Even if you can't do it, it's really a happy thing to let your competitor, Tenis, who has always made me uncomfortable, fall.

In his opinion, the current trend is very favorable to him, and he decided to add another fire to make this incident even bigger.

So, after a brief exchange with the old priest, the priest took his leave and left.

And looking at his departing back, the old priest who was leaning on the soft chair just shook his head and said nothing. Sigh, in my heart.

Half a day later. More than 200 miles from the town. Church.

"What? How could this happen? Scum! What the hell is this Tenis doing?! If there is such a thing, then this Tenis is simply unforgivable!"

The Bishop, who was in charge of the temples of nearly ten cities and more than 100 small towns in this area, was looking at a secret report from Rika Town at this time, and his face turned pale with anger.

He angrily threw the report on the table, and then, walking around the room.

Since he became the bishop of this area, nothing so serious had happened, and if things continued to get bigger, I am afraid that even he would not be able to get out of it.

"No, we can't let things get worse, we have to get to the bottom of things as soon as possible...... The impact of this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and if it really makes a big noise, it will have a serious impact on the reputation of the Earth Goddess......"

It turned out that in this secret report, the various crimes of the priest Tenis, as well as the specific things about how Tenis colluded with the adventurers to frame the adventurers' team, were listed on the paper.

What angered the bishop the most was the bad influence of the event, which was seriously detrimental to the reputation of the goddess of the earth among the believers. It has also made the profession of pastor, in the area he leads, the trust of the people decline during this period.

If events continue to unfold, it is likely that he, the bishop, will also be punished, not only from the Church, but also from the goddess, for example, the reduction of the charism.

For this purpose, the bishop immediately convened a council.

The result of the meeting was to send a fifth-level priest to the town of Rika to administer the divine judgment - to ask God to decide whether Pastor Tenis was innocent.
