I! Cleaner!

"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 clients", 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 creeping 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 light of the sky and the fields. Naturally, there is only one choice... Could you please show 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 without moving his lips:

“The three Holy Spirits of the Scale Gold Sect, before being accepted and transformed by the true god of the Scale Gold Sect, they once served as messengers of the God of Agriculture and Shepherd.

The original snake spirit was born out of the farmer's prayer, hoping that the snake would prey on rats and sparrows in the fields and protect the normal growth of the rice, but it must not harm itself, so it was a corn spirit that walked in 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 you kill it. It seems that its purpose is to eliminate pests and larvae and let the rice grow The desire for a stable and abundant harvest;

As for the garrison 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 food from being stolen and lost, which is exactly the same as the cat's behavior of catching mice in the barn. "

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.

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:

“Ever since the Kingdom of Korok started selling steam agricultural machinery, many people who were originally bound to farms and land, working for food, have lost their identity as farmers, and the power of the god of agriculture and animal husbandry 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 is also equivalent to 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 Lynas, the first-level liquidator of the Maiden Branch of the Cleanup Bureau, you have obtained a lot of information about "Golden Toad for Money", "Black Snake for Life", "Tabby Cat for Luck", the different-color badge "Materialist" "Soul of Ism (Red)" is activated.

Because you understand the effective rules of the "Golden Toad for Money", "Black Snake for Life", and "Taky 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 a gesture of invitation, the female priest who led the way smiled and said:

"After the two of them got out of here, they entered Lord Snake Spirit's secret temple, and the other brothers and sisters who were ready to pay their respects were also waiting inside.

It's just an unlucky time for you to come. Lord Snake Spirit is currently away and has been delayed by certain 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 around him that were as tall as trees, Leon couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise... or rather, his vertical pupils with a cold meaning.

"Hiss~"

A hissing sound like a snake spitting out its tongue sounded, and a spotted snake with red and blue spots on a white background came over, curled up its tail and gently touched the body of the little red snake, and the familiar voice of the lazy young man rang in Leon's heart.

'Don't panic, we didn't really turn into snakes, this is just a spiritual manifestation for the convenience of worship.

After all, the Holy Spirit is not a true God, and it is impossible to connect so many chaotic souls at once, so it needs to rely on the effect of the secret temple to make the spirits of the believers temporarily converge with itself, and it will be restored after leaving.

In addition, don't answer me.

The spirits of all people who enter the secret temple will be temporarily linked together, and you will not cover up the fluctuations of your spirit. If you speak directly, it is equivalent to shouting your thoughts to everyone here, which will be exposed. ’

Senior Tom?

Looking at this spotted snake with a white background and red and blue spots, which was similar to the color of dice, Leon calmed down and nodded, indicating that he roughly understood the current situation. Then he tried to control his tail and made a not-so-standard "?"

‘Are you asking what we should do next? ’

Nodding.

‘Next, we have to go to a place where there are many snakes and find the bishop of the snake spirit lineage. Only the chosen ones who have received the blessing of God can take the initiative to contact the Holy Spirit in the secret temple. ’

After poking his head out of the shade of wheat ears and looking at the situation in the rice field, the spotted snake incarnated by the lazy young man said:

“Help me look for it too. The bishops of the snake spirit lineage have all received blessings. There should be a piece of fine scales with a black background and white stripes on their tails. As long as we find the black and white scales growing in the opposite direction, we will find it... er..."

Looking at the tail of the little red snake with a black and white scales growing in the opposite direction stretched out in front of him, the spotted snake's head tilted slightly, and he spit out his tongue in confusion.

No... Which side are you from?
