Chapter 23 Darkmoon Temple

Where is my home? This is a very serious question.

The Gate of Faith was built in an independent stone hall. There was no door in the stone hall. After bypassing Wei, Shuer walked out of the stone hall directly. When he walked out, Shuer subconsciously took a big step because at the entrance of the stone hall, there were several stone slabs on the floor that had been broken and had become bumpy. It was not a big problem, and it was not even a waste of money to repair it. As long as you walk by, you would take big steps. Therefore, everyone has long been accustomed to it and will take big steps when passing here.

However, this time, when Shuer was halfway through, he discovered that the broken stone slabs were gone, the ground became flat, and the replaced stone slabs were obviously new, with clear edges and corners. It was obvious that they had just been replaced. Not only the stone slabs here, Shuer looked back. This time, because he had prepared in advance and observed carefully, he easily discovered that several damaged places in the stone hall had been repaired. Although the overall sense of oldness has not changed, at least it cannot be called dilapidated.

Looking around, Shuer sighed softly. The crumbling or collapsed ruins were almost demolished. The basic materials that could be used were left behind, and the rest were cleaned up as garbage. Several of the more important buildings have been rebuilt, completely the same as the recorded shape, with almost no changes. Of course, most of the ruins of the building were only cleaned and not rebuilt. Therefore, the vast temple has become very spacious and can be seen at first sight.

In the distance, there were several buildings that had not been completed. Many workers were vaguely busy on the construction site. The jingling sounds were brought by the breeze, and at the same time, there was a barking sound of dogs.

Wait, the dog barking? Shuer suddenly had an ominous premonition and looked over the sound. As expected, he sighed deeply and his shoulders drooped weakly.

The backyard of the temple was originally an open and beautiful garden, as beautiful as the holy lakeside of the Temple of Water. Soft green grass covered the ground, and colorful wild flowers dotted on the lawn, like the stars in the night sky, and a few flowers were arranged regularly in the lawn. Between the flowers and the lawn, some wallless stone pavilions with a strong religious atmosphere were located in it. This is not only the back garden of the Temple of Dark Moon, but also a relatively important ritual venue for the Temple. At a specific time of each month, the attendants of the Dark Moon will gather here, tilt their heads towards the direction of the Dark Moon, pray to the Goddess, and offer faith and piety.

Of course, that refers to hundreds of years ago, and what Shuer and Lisa saw was always another scene. The stone pavilion was not intact, with weeds on the ground frequently appearing, and a large number of small animals were living inside. Therefore, the garden and the courtyard became a paradise for the small animals in the suburbs of the Rose Capital. At the same time... it also became the hunting ground for the priest Lord and the important source of nutrition for the great Lord Lisa. The children were curious about why the terrible Lord Lisa could take back a few cute little beasts that looked cute but had a more cute taste. When they went in and took a walk around by themselves, they brought back only a bag bitten by insects.

Now, although the ruins of the garden have been cleared, the half-human-tall weeds are still as always. In the weeds, a white figure is hiking around excitedly, waving its tail while making a cheerful... dog barking. Well, it cannot be said that it is dog barking. It sounds like a wolf howl, but it is completely gone without the fierceness of a monster. With that terrible image... Xiuer can no longer bear to look at it anymore. He is unable to understand why a domineering wolf king has become this inexplicable appearance after being together for a while. The shame is not only the shame of the silver wolf, but even the shame of the monster.

Covering his face, pretending not to see this embarrassing silver wolf, Shuer hid aside like he ran away, and passed by some workers on the way. The workers seemed to be familiar with Lisa and Wei. When they passed by, they kept bowing to the two of them. These people were just ordinary civilian craftsmen. It has become a habit to pay tribute to the high-ranking priests in the church. They will definitely not be negligent because Lisa is young. The question is what you mean, is it a new etiquette to cover my wallet secretly when I see me? You are the craftsmen in the Rose Capital, and I won't care about you.

In Lisa's smile, Shur snorted coldly and walked past several craftsmen, crossed the weed garden, and entered the living area of ​​the temple. The living area was built around the courtyard, and in the middle were various buildings for the daily activities of the Dark Moon servants. On the left was the residence of visitors, and on the right was the area where the temple guards lived. Well, it was the connection between the secular and the sacred realms. In theory, Shur was the area of ​​the supreme leader.

Now, the area where the servants live has been urgently repaired. Perhaps it is because of time that they did not choose to rebuild. Twenty chose to maintain it. The walls were rebuilt, the doors, windows, tables, chairs, and mattresses had been replaced, and the flat ground was cleaned and clean to see people. As for other places, they were still the same, and even the buildings were not demolished. The current main projects are concentrated in the visitor area. Obviously, this is to prepare for the visitor who may arrive in the next few days when the worship halls are reopened. As for the secular area, haha, this is not important, not at all. There is no place where people live in a short period of time, so you can wait until the end.

"Brother." Lisa's smile on her face, her eyes narrowed into a slit, "Welcome to home, our new home."

"You can see that the decision to repair the buildings is your decision." Now the reconstruction and repair are some of the most important facilities of the Dark Moon Temple. Even in the past, Shuer tried his best to maintain the normal operation of these buildings. Therefore, he was not surprised at all. Why did Lisa make such a choice? The question is, "It seems that I really owe the Winged Man a lot of money. What's going on? She accidentally hit a tree while flying recently, and broke her brain?"

"Hey, have you been going to carry out tasks in the past two months? Just a few days after you left, five hundred gold coins came to your door." Lisa explained with a smile, "I wanted to blow her out, or pull a few weeds from the courtyard to entertain her, but she said she wanted to invest in love, so I treated her with the most solemn etiquette."

Griefly, Talinna stared at Shur and was about to spit out fire. However, Shur did not have the awareness of a bad example at all. Instead, he raised his thumb and praised: "Beautiful work, this is a qualified priest, and the Lord will be proud of you."

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

"But..." Shuer frowned immediately, "What was she saying so bluntly?"

"Well, Wubai Jincoin said, anyway, when you come back, you will know what her purpose is. It's better to say something directly. Moreover, you will be a long-term economic partner in the future, so there is no need to be so obscure in your words."

"Tsk, this guy is really worthy of being a winged man. This kind of business acumen has exceeded the economic scope." Shuer curled his lips. He was of course familiar with this, who was half a politician. "We are too big to make her moves a little late. If she had been a month earlier, it would have been better. But she can't blame her. After all, no one would have thought that our progress would be so fast at that time, and it would have been normal for us to do this step today. If she had to invest in emotionally at that time, I would 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 them and is confused.

"Ha, nothing." Shure shook his head, not planning to explain it to Lisa now, "Anyway, you know now that the effect of investing one month earlier than investing is enough. It's too specific. I'll tell you slowly after I calm down a few days. However, she is also smart, knowing that she is one step late, so she invested quite a lot, and basically made up for the discount on time. Tsk, smart guy. Since it's an emotional investment, it's definitely not for free, but it's similar to free gifts. How did she talk to you about it?"

"She will provide us with a total of 100,000 gold coins to help us repair the temple, but it is used exclusively. Without our hands, they will settle the funds directly with the craftsmen and suppliers." Lisa curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "She said that if we really gave us so many gold coins, with our brother and sister's character, we may not have to cause much trouble. Maybe we will deduct the craftsmen's rewards, or it is safer for her to settle them directly."

"The romance", the brother and sister made regretful voices at the same time, which shows that Yulia's worries are too reasonable.

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

"She will deduct this interest-free investment from ten years later and every year from our dividends. She said she would settle the specific amount after her brother came back, but it cannot be less than 10,000 gold coins per year." Speaking of the last condition, the two showed regret again. Obviously, if Yulia did not add this condition, they could really offer to deduct one gold coins per year and pay off the debt for 100,000 years. Well, the rumor of payment of installments in a thousand years was not a rumor.

"Okay, it seems that she not only represents the Celes family, but also represents the Lord of the Sky." Shuer thought for a while and nodded thoughtfully, "This is very good. I originally planned to negotiate with her and discuss the advance payment of one or two years to roughly repair the temple. I didn't expect that she would send it here in time. Huh, I guess she will come here again in a short time. Then I will thank her in person. We owe this favor."

"Brother, is it okay to do this?"

"Haha, people who know that they are appropriately owed some favors are often smarter than those who never owe favors."

"Well, I understand." Lisa frowned and thought for a moment, showing a sudden expression, but soon recovered from excitement and asked with a mysterious look, "Don't brother find it strange? According to the current projects, there is absolutely no need for 100,000 gold coins."

"Ha, since you want to show the Lord's majesty, you must naturally show the best things to others." Shuer smiled and patted the girl's head, "Let's go, let's go to the open area to the public to see, so that I can see the appreciation level of my sister."
Chapter completed!
