Deep in the forest, a lavish and golden church suddenly comes into view, and the strong contrast is striking.

Goddess of Nature and Wealth.

There are very few people who actually serve this present God in the church, but his followers are spread all over the continent.

Whether it is a king, a merchant or an adventurer, anyone with dreams of wealth will more or less pray in their hearts for the protection of this god.

The reason is simple.

Because this God is responsible for printing money.

It's not surprising when you think about it.

Money is a contract that replaces barter, and all human goods begin with nature.

Luo Wei walked to the door of the church and knocked on the door with a wooden coin, and the golden door shone slightly, and then opened heavily.

"It's really picky."

Shaya couldn't help but sigh in the back, if the fragment of the Sun Spear was kept in the church of the Goddess of Nature and Wealth, it would obviously be better to be sincere.

As a god who mints the currency of the entire world, you use 1 wooden coin as a knock.

"It's not all a heart."

Luo Wei was indifferent to Shaye's words, the church of the goddess of nature and wealth was hidden in the depths of the forest, it was not a coincidence, and it was undoubtedly difficult to find such a building in the vast sea of trees. Therefore, when many merchants have the opportunity to see the Golden Church, they are willing to give half of their money as a gesture of sincerity.

It's just metaphysics.

Before the crossing, as an old guarantor, Luo Wei never believed in metaphysics.

Just like now, he found the church with the Resonance Vessel from Urs, an artifact that could guide them through the winding forest enchantments outside, and had nothing to do with coincidence.

What's more, people can print money, do you care if you give forest coins or wooden coins?

Stepping into the magnificent interior of the church, Vimere looked around and felt nothing but a golden glow.

She had also heard many stories about the goddess, who gave the right to mint the currency to the Lion Garden, and the power of the deed on the coin came from the divine power deity, ensuring that it could not be forged.

A god who has no quarrel with the world, but holds the lifeblood of worldly power.

The three of them walked into the prayer hall, and since no one would come, the hall naturally did not pretend to be a bunch of prayer benches, and the empty floor was made of pure gold, giving people a luxurious sense of tranquility.

The walls on both sides are embedded with golden trees, as if in a long time, the growth of the big tree has stretched out the secular buildings, but they have been dyed with the same color by the mundane.

"No one?"

Greeting slightly to the statue of the goddess in the distance, Shaya looked around, but saw no sign of anyone.

"No," Luo Wei smiled with his eyes closed, "probably just observing us." ”

Naturally, the gods do not clean the church themselves, and the outer barrier will attract the intelligent creatures of the forest when the church is unoccupied, giving grace to make them guardians.

And the keepers here, he knows...... Well, I used to know.

At this moment, the three of them heard the crisp sound of horses' hooves, which were clearly visible on the floor.

Looking towards the source, a beautiful figure appeared in the corridor on the second floor.

"It's been a long time since anyone came," said the figure reluctantly, "Tell me, what do you want?" ”

Centaur, Shirley.

The lower body is a horse, and the upper body of the human replaces the front part of the horse, and there are horse-like animal ears on the top of the head.

She wore a loose sacrificial robe with wide sleeves, with clear eyebrows, long white hair combed carefully, and ribbons tied around the sides of her head.

"We're looking for the fragment of the Sun Spear." Rowe wasn't going to go around the bush with her.

To be honest, Luo Wei didn't expect that she hid Shaye's branch here, and he didn't find this church on the way to Crownless City in the last round, and he only came to it later by driving Lovell's magic guide warship around.

Faced with a large number of unfinished branch lines in his hand at that time, it was impossible for him to make a list and ask everyone he met, "Have you heard of the hundreds of quest props below?" ”

After all, who knew they would cross over......

As the first player in the world to clear the game, his idea of the week is only to do the best possible, not to collect them all, and the branch of Shayer is too deeply hidden, and some fragments may not even be able to find Urs's resonance device. And the key point is the truth behind the fragment, which is impossible to know after the destruction of some parts of the timeline.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, Shaye's plot is just as easy to make people angry as she is.

Can't you learn from Vimeer?

It's just hard.

Vimeer: "? ”

Seeing the complicated eyes cast at her, the girl blinked her eyes twice in confusion, and immediately covered her body in panic.

What did I do? I didn't say anything!

"Oh, that's right," Shirley said with a sigh, "just call me Shirley, you should know the rules here." ”

At the cost of asking questions, there is a need to meet the needs of the religious defenders.

Rowe knew that, but—

Really?

She seemed to know very well that someone was looking for a fragment, and it was as if someone had delivered it to her by hand.

It seems that there is indeed information about fallen angels in this.

Recognizing this, Luo Wei said, "You mention it or I mention it." ”

"Huh......?" Shirley frowned, "Do you really know what the rules are?" ”

Clear, but I know you're embarrassed to say it.

This guy is a bit of a little tsundere.

It takes several minutes to piece together a complete answer with you, which is obviously just a one-sentence thing.

He said without any burden:

"You're lonely here, aren't you?"

Shaye: "? ”

Vimere: "......"

Shirley: "!?? ”

"You, you, you—" Shirley's face turned red as she heard this, and the horse's hooves stepped back twice, "What are you talking about!" ”

Vimere couldn't help but glance at the sleek hooves.

Not......

How is this going to be competitive...... Let him ride on me?

Rowe stood there and continued, "You'd love to see the other centaurs, and see how your people live, right?" ”

“！！”

Shirley looked stunned again.

How does he know?

From the moment she was born, she was abandoned in the forest, raised by deer, and never saw a creature like herself.

It wasn't until she came to the church one day as if she had been instructed that she learned a lot, and she cleaned meticulously every day as a churchkeeper, and the only thing she was happy about was the books about centaurs.

Judging from the records in the book, centaurs have their own tribes, and sometimes they fight with humans, but they are very friendly to the elves, and through the description of their appearance, their white horse body should be regarded as a very beautiful and noble type in the centaur, right?

She was eager to see her kind, and she was eager to be recognized, and she had heard that there were many people in the world who wanted to find the Golden Church hidden in the forest, but in the place where it had been the case for ten years, she wanted to go out and see.

"You...... Can you bring a centaur to me? ”

Luo Wei smiled and shook his head, "No, I'll take you to meet them." ”

……

Weeping Valley.

Vimere watched Shirley timidly greet the other centaurs, and was genuinely happy for her.

"That's nice......"

After learning about the other party's past experience, Vimere couldn't help but think that the key to the adventure may not be how many monsters she defeated or how many ruins she explored, but such a scene in front of her made her feel more fulfilled.

It's rare that Shaye didn't talk back to Luo Wei this time.

"You can do some work once in a while."

Luo Wei ignored the exclamations of the two, in fact, centaurs are not really orcs, and the reason why there are many centaurs gathered in the Valley of Wailing is only because they have a similar experience to the orcs.

Humans destroy the Centaur territorial environment, and the Centaur tribe sometimes harasses humans, and there are some skirmishes between the two.

But I'm afraid, the centaurs still underestimate human fetishes......

Front or back, that's a question.

People and horses are all clear-eyed, and there are always some people who dare to make bold attempts.

In addition, centaurs have their own territory, which is difficult to catch, the number in the slave market is even rarer, and the price is stable compared to the average orc, and can even stand shoulder to shoulder with merfolk.

As for the male centaurs...... Ahem, that's even more indescribable.

About half an hour later, Shirley walked back with her hooves on her face.

"Is that okay?" Vimere looked at her with some surprise, "Why don't you stay with them a little longer?" ”

"But, that's fine," Shirley said intermittently, "it's not good to delay you too much. ”

I thought that after these three people understood her needs, they would go out for a few months to look for centaurs, but they didn't expect to take her directly to the orc territory where there are centaurs, not only saw more than a dozen of their kindred, but also witnessed their way of life.

If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would be reluctant to leave.

"All right," she said again, "go back, and I'll give you the two fragments." ”

Two?

Shaye was stunned for a moment, in the church where Shirley was, there were actually two fragments at the same time?

Back in the forest, the Golden Church, the empty hall, while luxurious, is not enviable.

While Shirley was going to retrieve the fragment of the Sun Spear, Vimir whispered in Rovi's ear and asked, "If I remember correctly, the Goddess of Nature and Fortune Sect is purely religious, right?" ”

Pure religious belief means that believers are not allowed to be contaminated with any other faith.

Luo Wei glanced at her curiously, "What, finally got a brain?" ”

Vimeer: "?? ”

Angry!

I'm just stupid, not stupid, okay!

But she didn't dare to refute, so she had to speculate silently in her heart.

The reason why Arttana did not show up was because she did not want to shake Shirley's faith, and although the Divine Power Seal allowed Shirley to get along with other centaurs at any time, it was not tolerated by pure religious beliefs.

A certain amount of kindness can help others, but imposing kindness on others can instead lead to trouble.

Aware of this from the beginning of the orc race, Vimir didn't think it was a good idea to let Arttana come into contact with Shirley, but was relieved to do so.

Anyway...... He didn't set out on a journey to save anyone.

"You... If you're interested in horseback riding, then... That can ride me too. ”

Luo Wei: "??? ”

He frowned, and then it occurred to him that it was the words that deliberately provoked Shirley to misunderstand her.

Really......

I'm not going to attack one when I see one.

This made him amused and said, "Shouldn't you be riding me?" ”

Vimere: "......? ”

Luo Wei couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, and at the beginning he asked her not to be an exhibitionist in the wild, but Vimere cried and didn't want to, and at the same time, Saye's presence made her unable to let go, even if this angel was hanging on a tree, she was always worried that she would come back at any time.

Forget it, back to the orc clan, Ah Hu Lili didn't know what was crazy, and she had to sleep with her every night.

As a result, he didn't do anything along the way, so he could only wait for Shaye to finish taking a shower by himself outside the bathroom.

She's probably the type who pays attention to atmosphere.

Shirley came back through the side door and handed Shaye two completely different boxes in her hand.

"That's it, these two people came to the church covered in blood, saying that someone would come and pick it up, and they left a very interesting note."

Luo Wei narrowed his eyes, he would be here because of the guidance of the Resonance Instrument, not some kind of inevitable connection.

In other words, it wasn't the three of them who were supposed to come here to pick up the fragments.

"Can you summon the Courier now?" He looked at Shirley and said.

"Yes," Shirley frowned, "what do you want to do?" ”

How did he know me so well?

Not only do you know what I need, but you know all about my magical abilities?

Without much explanation, Rowe pulled out a magic device from his cloak.

"This is the Magic Guide Surveillance Projection, if anyone comes to ask about the Sun Spear next time, I hope you can take a picture and send it to me."

Shirley looked at the device and sighed slowly after confirming that it was the product of a faithless magician.

"Since you've helped me so much, ...... All right. ”

Handing him a wooden messenger ring, Rowe nodded and accepted it, as he approached the two women who were lost in thought in front of the box.

Inside was a fragment of the Burning Sun Spear that Shaya was looking for.

But the note attached to it is the same sentence.

It said—

"Watch out for the Craftsmen!"
