Chapter 302: Scale of Gold Rally (Part 2)
"Welcome! Welcome you two!"
After looking at the lustrous badges on the chests of the two Lyons and identifying the unique golden cat claws of the "big client", the priests guarding outside the core area of the meeting place smiled brighter than the blooming morning glory.
After taking the initiative to open the door for the two of them and making way to the core area, the female priest guarding the door bowed and asked Leon with a smile:
"The corn spirit walking under the shadow of the rice ears, the caller hiding deep in the shadow of the bright moon, the guard walking quietly in the night...Which one do you want to pay homage to?"
Corn spirit? Caller? Guard?
Leon was slightly startled by the female priest's question. Leon, who had no idea what she was talking about, did not ask immediately. Instead, adhering to the principle of not being exposed if he did not continue, he responded with a gentle smile. Tom beside him The senior took over the conversation at the right time and replied with a smile: "We are all living beings who grew up eating rice, brothers and sisters who were raised by the sky and the fields. Naturally, there is only one choice... Could you please guide us the way? ”
"You're welcome, brothers and sisters with black scales and white spots, this is what I should do."
After exchanging the "secret code" with Tom, the female priest with snake scale-like patterns on her neck did not ask any more questions, but turned around and entered the door, leading Leon and the two of them into a sticky and cold slippery corridor.
‘The question she just asked was which of the three Holy Spirits we are believers in. ’
After putting his hand on Leon's shoulder, the lazy young man explained with his lips motionless:
"The three Holy Spirits of the Scale Gold Sect, before they were accepted and transformed by the true god of the Scale Gold Sect, they once worked as farmers. Messenger of the God of Shepherd.
The original snake spirit was born out of the farmer's prayer, hoping that snakes would hunt down rats and sparrows in the fields and protect the normal growth of the rice, but they must not harm themselves, so they are corn spirits that walk under the shade of the rice ears;
The chirping person in the shadow of the bright moon means the toad that chirps loudly while looking at the reflection of the moon in the water. It is also the one that becomes the pendant of the Holy Spirit after being killed by you. It seems that its purpose is to eliminate pests and larvae, so that The wish for a stable and abundant harvest of rice;
As for the guard creeping in the night, it naturally refers to the cat that appears at night and is responsible for guarding the barn. It has the image of protecting the grain from being stolen and lost, and The behavior of a cat catching a mouse in a barn is perfectly proportioned. "
I see……
After roughly understanding the "code word" just now, Leon asked with some confusion: "Based on this origin, the three holy spirits of the Scale Gold Sect should be the kind of good spirits who have placed good hopes on them. That's right.
But I've seen that toad before, and it doesn't seem to have any sense of this at all. Instead, it looks like a very ferocious and evil evil spirit. Did something happen in the middle? "
"A lot of things did happen."
Tom nodded and said:
“Since the Kingdom of Crook started selling steam agricultural machinery, many people who were originally bound to farms and land and worked for food have lost their identity as farmers and the gods of agriculture and animal husbandry. The strength has weakened a lot.
In a sense, rice symbolizes wealth. The snake that protects rice production is also equivalent to the toad that protects wealth and helps the harvest. It can also be regarded as the cat that breeds wealth and guards the granary, which is also equivalent to guarding wealth.
Therefore, these three apostles of the God of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry are very compatible with the 'wealth' power of the true god of the Scale Gold Sect, so he took advantage of the weakness of the God of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to find a way to get them over and transform them into his own. The Holy Spirit below.
As for why the three 'good spirits' who were born from good wishes turned into such evil and extreme people... maybe it's because wealth makes people crazy? "
[Through the narration of Tom Linus, the first-level liquidator of the Maiden Branch of the Cleaning Bureau, you have obtained a lot of information about "Golden Toad for Money", "Black Snake for Life", and "Tabby Cat for Luck", the different-color badge "Materialist" "Ism Soul (Red)" is activated.
Because you understand the effective rules of the "Golden Toad for Money", "Black Snake for Life", and "Flower Cat for Luck" abilities, your resistance to this abnormal object has greatly increased, and you can already block the deeper effects]
…
"You two, we've arrived."
When the system's mechanized beep ended, the dark corridor had reached its end. After pushing open the small door at the end of the corridor and making an invitation gesture, the female priest who led the way smiled and said: "After the two of you got out of here, you entered the secret temple of Lord Snake Spirit. The others are ready to pay homage." My brothers and sisters are also waiting inside.
It's just an unlucky time for you to come. Lord Snake Spirit is not here at the moment and has been delayed by some things. However, according to the oracle left by the Lord before, he will be able to finish the matter at hand and rush back to the secret temple in half a day at most. Accept everyone's greetings. "
Still have half a day left?
After hearing what the female priest said, Leon couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and glanced at the lazy young man who was also looking over.
If I understood correctly, that "certain things" should refer to the trapped senior Emma, and the half-day time limit is probably the number of times her immortality will take to be completely "bought out" Time, and this is still a conservative estimate. In fact, I am afraid it will be shorter!
Must speed up!
Either find Senior Emma within half a day, or make enough noise within half a day to force the snake to run back on its own initiative!
After reaching a consensus through their eyes, the two Lyons said goodbye politely to the female priest who was responsible for leading the way. Then they leaned down one after another and got into the narrow door at the end of the corridor.
"Whiss?!!!"
Looking at his slender red body, and then at the tall golden plants like trees around him, Leon couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise...or rather, his vertical pupils with a cold meaning.
"Hiss~"
There was a hissing sound like a snake spitting a letter, and a piebald snake with red and blue spots on a white background came over, curled up its tail and gently touched the little red snake's body, and the familiar voice of the lazy young man was in Leon's heart. It rang.
‘Don’t panic, we haven’t really turned into snakes, this is just a spiritual manifestation to facilitate the visit.
After all, the Holy Spirit is not the true God, and cannot connect so many chaotic souls at one time, so it is necessary to rely on the effect of the secret temple to temporarily make the believer's spirit converge with his own, and it will recover after leaving.
Also, don't answer me.
The spirits of all people who enter the secret temple will be temporarily linked together, and if you don't cover up your mental fluctuations, if you speak directly, it will be equivalent to shouting your thoughts to all the people here, which will be exposed. ’
Senior Tom?
Looking at this spotted snake with red and blue spots on a white background, the color of which is similar to that of a dice, Leon calmed down and nodded, indicating that he roughly understood the current situation, and then tried hard to control his tail and waved it. A less standard "?"
‘Are you asking what we’re going to do next? ’
nod.
‘Next, we need to go to a place with many snakes and find a priest of the snake spirit lineage. Only the chosen ones who have received the blessing can actively contact the Holy Spirit in the secret temple. ’
After sticking his head out of the shade of wheat ears and looking at the situation in the rice fields, the piebald snake transformed into a lazy young man said:
"You also help me look for it. The priests of the snake spirit lineage have all received blessings. There should be a thin black scale with white stripes on their tail. As long as we find the black and white scale growing in the opposite direction, we will have found it. Okay...um..."
Seeing the little red snake stretching out in front of him, with a tail with thin black and white scales growing in reverse direction, the piebald snake couldn't help but tilt its head slightly, and spat out a message with a confused look on its face.
No...where are you from?
