Chapter 500 Dark Moon Temple
Where is my home?This is a very serious question.

The Gate of Faith is built in an independent stone hall. The stone hall has no door. After bypassing Wei, Xiuer walked out of the stone hall directly.When he walked out, Xiure subconsciously took a big step, because at the door of the stone hall, several stone slabs on the floor had been broken and became pitted.It’s not a big problem. It’s not like spending money on repairs. All you need to do is take a big step when passing by. So everyone has long been used to it and takes a big step when passing by.

However, this time, Xiure discovered when he was halfway through the step that the broken stone slabs had disappeared and the ground had become flat and smooth. Moreover, the replaced stone slabs were obviously new, and the edges still maintained sharp edges. At first glance, It was just replaced.Not only the stone slabs here, Xiuer looked back. This time, because he was prepared in advance and observed more carefully, he easily discovered that the original damage in the stone hall had been repaired. Although the overall feeling was old, It hasn't changed, but at least it can't be called dilapidated.

Looking around again, Shuer sighed softly. Most of the crumbling or collapsed ruins had been demolished. The basic materials that could continue to be used were left, and the rest were cleared away as garbage. Several of them were removed. The more important buildings in the period have been rebuilt, and they are exactly the same as the ones in the records, with almost no changes.Of course, most of the building ruins have only been cleaned up and not rebuilt. Therefore, the vast temple has become so spacious that it is almost impossible to see the edge at a glance.

In the distance, there are several buildings that have not yet been completed, and many workers are vaguely busy on the construction site. The sound of tinkling and banging is carried by the breeze, and at the same time, there is a sound of howling dogs.

Wait, barking?Xiuer suddenly had an ominous premonition and looked over at the sound. Sure enough, he sighed deeply and his shoulders dropped weakly.

The backyard that originally belonged to the temple was an open and beautiful garden, as beautiful as the holy lake of the Water Temple.Soft green grass covers the ground, and colorful wildflowers are dotted on the lawn, like stars in the night sky. Several flower bushes are regularly arranged in the lawn. Between the flower bushes and the lawn, some wallless stone pavilions with a strong religious atmosphere are located. in.This is not only the back garden of the Dark Moon Temple, but also an important ritual venue for the temple. At certain times of each month, the Dark Moon worshipers will gather here, raising their heads in the direction of the lightless moon, and paying homage to the goddess. Sir, pray and offer your faith and piety.

Of course, that was hundreds of years ago, and what Shuer and Lisa saw was always a different scene.The stone pavilion is no longer intact, and the ground is overgrown with grass, insects, and snakes frequently appear, and a large number of small animals live inside. Therefore, the garden and courtyard together have become a paradise for small animals in the suburbs of the City of Roses. At the same time... it has also become The children were very curious as to why the terrifying Priest, who was the hunting ground of the Priest and an important source of nutritional supplements for the great Lisa, could bring back a few that looked cute but tasted worse when he just walked around in the grass. Cute little beasts, but they went in and took a look around, and all they brought back was a bag full of insect bites.

Nowadays, although the building ruins in the garden have been cleared away, the half-human-high grass is still there, and among the grass, a white figure is crawling around excitedly, wagging its tail and making a cheerful... barking sound.Well, it can't be said to be a dog's bark. It sounds more like a wolf's howl, but it doesn't have the ferocity of a monster at all. Coupled with that horrible image... Shuer can't bear to watch it anymore. He can't understand it. Okay. Why did a domineering wolf king turn into this inexplicable appearance after getting along with him for a period of time? The shame was not only the shame of Silver Wolf, but also the shame of Warcraft.

Covering his face and pretending not to see the shameful silver wolf, Xiure hid aside as if running away. He passed by some workers on the road. The workers seemed to be very familiar with Lisa and Wei, and kept talking to them as they passed by. People bow to greet each other. These people are just ordinary civilian craftsmen. It has long been a habit to pay tribute to the high-ranking clergy in the church. I will definitely not neglect Lisa because of her young age. The question is what do you mean? Is it a new etiquette to cover your money bag secretly when you see me?At first glance, you are the local craftsmen of Rose City, so I won’t argue with you.

In Lisa's suppressed smile, Shuer snorted and walked past several craftsmen, passed through the overgrown garden, and entered the living area of ​​the temple.The living area is built around the courtyard. In the center are various buildings where the Dark Moon worshipers conduct their daily activities. On the left is the guest residence, and on the right is the area where the temple guards should have lived. Well, it is also the connection between the secular and sacred realms. , Theoretically, Shuer is the area where the supreme leader is.

Now, the area where the servants live has been urgently repaired. Perhaps because of time constraints, they did not choose to rebuild. Twenty chose to maintain. The walls have been rebuilt, and the doors, windows, tables, chairs, and mattresses have all been replaced. The new, flat floor was swept clean and shiny.As for other places, it is still the same as before. Even the buildings have not been demolished. The current main works are concentrated in the visitor area. Obviously, this is to prepare for the possible arrival of visitors in the next few days when the chapel hall reopens.As for the secular area, haha, this is not important, not at all. There is no way anyone will live there in a short period of time. You can wait until the end.

"Brother." Lisa said with a smile on her face, her eyes narrowed to a slit, "Welcome home, our new home."

"It can be seen that it is your decision to decide which buildings to repair." What is being rebuilt and repaired now are some of the most important facilities of the Dark Moon Temple. Even in the past, Shuer tried his best to maintain the normal condition of these buildings. operating.Therefore, he was not surprised at all. Why did Lisa make this choice? The question is, "It seems that I really owe that winged man a lot of money. What's going on? She didn't fly when she was flying recently." Did you accidentally hit a tree and damage your brain?"

"Hey, brother, hasn't he been on a mission these past two months? Just a few days after you left, five hundred gold coins came to your door." Lisa explained with a smile, "I originally wanted to kick her out, or from I pulled a few weeds randomly in the courtyard to entertain her, but she said she wanted to make emotional investment, so I received her with the most solemn etiquette."

Glaring, Talinna stared at Xiu Er's gaze was about to burst into flames, but Xiu Er did not have the consciousness of being a bad example at all, instead he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Beautiful job, this is a qualified priesthood Yes, the Lord will be proud of you."

No, I think the goddess will cry. Talina kept drawing circles with her fingers in her imagination, sadly begging the goddess for forgiveness.

"But..." Xiure frowned immediately, "She said it so straightforwardly?" "Well, five hundred gold coins, anyway, you will know what her purpose is when you come back, so you might as well speak frankly. Speaking of which, since we are long-term economic partners in the future, there is no need to be so cryptic in our words."

"Tsk, this guy is truly a winger. This kind of business acumen has gone beyond the scope of economics." Shuer curled his lips. As a half-politician, he is certainly familiar with this. "Our steps are too big. As for her taking the action a little later, the effect would have been better if it had been done a month earlier. But we can't blame her. After all, no one could have imagined that our progress would be so fast at that time, or even that we would be able to achieve this step today. The action was late. Some are considered normal. If she has to make emotional investment at that time, then I will really be a little afraid of her."

"Brother?" These things are still a bit too complicated for Lisa's age and experience. The girl seems to understand but is confused.

"Oh, it's nothing." Shuer shook his head and had no intention of explaining it to Lisa now. "In short, you know now that compared with investing one month earlier, the effect now has been greatly reduced. It's too specific. Yes, I will tell you slowly after I calm down in a few days. However, she is also smart and knows that she is a step late, so she invests quite a lot, basically making up for the time discount. Tsk, smart Guy. Since it’s an emotional investment, it’s definitely not a free gift, but it’s almost as good as a free gift. How did she talk to you specifically?”

"She will provide us with a fund of [-] gold coins to help us repair the temple, but the funds will be used exclusively and will not go through our hands. They will settle the payment directly with the craftsmen and suppliers." Lisa curled her lips and said dissatisfied, "She He said, if we are really given so many gold coins, given our brother and sister’s personalities, we won’t necessarily cause much trouble. The craftsmen may also be deducted from their remuneration, or it would be safer for her to settle the bill directly.”

"Tch", the brother and sister made regretful voices at the same time, it can be seen that Yulia's worry is really justified.

"She's smart." Shuer rolled his eyes, "What happens next?"

"This interest-free investment will be deducted from our dividends every year starting from ten years later. She said the specific amount will be determined after her brother comes back, but it cannot be less than 10 gold coins per year." Speaking of the last condition, The two showed regretful expressions again. Obviously, if Yulia had not added this condition, the two of them could really have offered such a request of deducting one gold coin a year and repaying it in 1000 years. Well, the original rumor of [-] installments was not rumor.

"Well, it seems that she not only represents the Seles family, but also represents the Lord of the Sky." Shuer thought for a while, nodded thoughtfully, "This is very good, I originally planned to negotiate with her. With the dividends paid in advance for one or two years, the temple was roughly repaired. I didn't expect her to take the initiative to deliver it in such a timely manner. Huh, I guess she will come again soon, and then I can thank her in person. We owe this favor."

"Brother, is this okay?"

"Hehe, people who know how to owe some favors are often smarter than those who never owe favors."

"Well, I understand." Lisa frowned and thought for a moment, showing a confused look, but soon regained her excitement and asked with a mysterious face, "Brother, don't you find it strange? Ordinarily, these projects now, but It definitely won’t cost [-] gold coins.”

"Ha, since we want to show off the majesty of the Lord, we naturally have to show the best things to others." Xiure patted the girl on the head with a smile, "Let's go to the area open to the public and have a look. I’ve seen my sister’s level of appreciation.”

"whee."
