In the morning, the small city west.
This is a place close to the lake and the scenery is very good.
The grasslands and the flowers of stars all look so beautiful. In such a city that is gradually becoming noisy, this is a place that is simply a place that becomes vibrant only for spring.
The lake is not big, and its area is about as big as a football field. It flows quietly in the west corner of the small city, looking at the sky calmly, and connecting a endless river outside.
However, compared with the surging rivers, the small lake appears extremely quiet and peaceful. The shallow tender grass and bright flowers are also growing quietly in the lakeside area, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers unique to spring.
On a small road around the small lake and being stepped out by pedestrians, some idle urban residents, including men and women, or grandparents and grandchildren, and there are many families who come to stroll in the morning and when the air is fresh.
Next to this beautiful little lake is a very elegant building. Whenever those who come out for morning exercises pass by this building, they will deliberately lower their voices, their expressions from ease to sincerely and serious, and their steps will also be light. When they reach the main entrance, they will even stop, close their eyes, fold their hands in front of their chests, pray sincerely for a while, and then leave here gently. Until they are far away from the scope of this building, those people have regained their playful personality, talking or laughing, and being unscrupulous.
Inside this building, in the middle of the small square, a statue of a god about five meters high is carved to life. This is the image of a goddess. She stood on the platform in a posture of staring at all living beings.
On the relief wall behind her, there are reliefs of bulls and countless beautiful trees, flowers and plants.
The statue of this goddess is all carved from white marble. She wore a crown made of flowers and plants on her head, and a green dress. She looked beautiful. The curves of women were vaguely visible, which was extremely feminine. Moreover, what made people look at her heart was that although she was just a statue, her eyes were very vivid, which was the goddess of earth Isidis.
The people just stopped and were praying to her. This is a temple of the goddess of earth. It is different from the temple style of the temple in Rika Town. Although this temple covers a large area, it tends to be elegant, quiet, peaceful, and simple and restrained in architecture. However, this simplicity is just the feeling that it gives people at the beginning. As long as you walk into this temple and truly experience it, you will feel that here there is a huge aura and magical aura that cannot be felt in the temple of Rika Town. Although the building does not look magnificent than the buildings of the temple of Rika Town, it makes people feel that they want to respect it.
Walking along the main road of the temple, the flowers, plants and trees on both sides of the road grow naturally, with joy for spring, constantly growing upward and growing.
However, unlike plants, humans are lazy in this season of spring.
"The weather today is really good." An elderly man in a priest's robe was leaning against a soft chair under a tree. While enjoying the warm sunshine in the gap between the leaves, he sighed softly at the brightness of the sunshine.
The old pastor looked very ordinary, but although his facial features were not outstanding, when they were alone, they gave people a very peaceful feeling. Kindness. Because of the years, they had a peaceful temperament.
The beard was very long, hanging on his chest, and was cleanly taken care of. When the wind blew, the beard gently floated. In addition, he was wearing such a white priest robe, which looked quite sacred.
In front of the old pastor, there was a small log table. The table was not high and not far from him. It was just as far away as he could reach the distance with his hands. On this small wooden table in the courtyard were some transparent plates, and some seasonal fruits were placed on it, which looked very bright and attractive.
While sighing softly, the old pastor reached out and grabbed the fruit and ate slowly. He seemed to enjoy this tranquility and peace of mind. Eating didn't seem to be just for eating, but for the sake of matching the entire atmosphere.
But at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside, and the sound was from far to near, as if it was running in this direction.
The old pastor frowned slightly, and was a little unsatisfied with someone disturbing his rest at this time.
"Teacher, I heard you are looking for me?" Soon, the man came to this position. Seeing that the old pastor had opened his eyes, the person who came stood respectfully in front of the old pastor and asked softly.
Seeing that the old pastor was a student he had taught, the dissatisfaction of the old pastor suddenly decreased, but he still frowned and said, "Shast, it's not that I said you. You have always performed well in normal times, but you always can't hold on at critical moments. This makes me feel very worried. Now I am old and still staying at the fifth level. I guess it's difficult to make any breakthroughs. You are still young and have reached the third level. I hope that you can develop better in the future. Well, your performance is not bad, but don't always fight with others. You are a pastor. What the pastor needs to do is to believe in God. There are many things that cannot be fought for."
"Yes, yes!" The person who came was also a priest, about twenty-five or six years old. He nodded quickly and said yes, but then, the priest named Shast couldn't help but say with a complicated expression. "Teacher, you are right, but you still have to take charge of this matter. This has affected the reputation of the temple and defiled the glory of the goddess."
"Oh, what's so serious?"
"That's right, the Adventurers Union officially issued a document to the temple, asking for an investigation into this matter. It was about Tenness..." Pastor Shast said quickly, trying not to increase his likes and dislikes, but he was extremely excited.
He was working at the same time as Tenness, but Tenness relied on a little backstage to become the presiding priest. With the temple, the presidency naturally made it easy to get the grace of the gods. Therefore, Tenness made rapid progress. Although it seemed that he had stopped moving forward in recent years, it was still level 4. Shaster worked hard and has only been level 3.
"So that's the case!" After hearing the words of the pastor Shast, the old pastor suddenly fell into deep thought.
Seeing him pondering, Shaster cautiously reported the movements in the city.
Because of the announcement of the Adventurer Union and the connection between adventurers, the matter about the Reverend Tenes has slowly spread in the Adventurer's circle.
Moreover, it is not only the adventurers' circle, because many adventurers often go to taverns and other places to eat and drink, and they will inevitably talk about this topic that makes them angry. Many people in small towns have gradually begun to talk about this matter.
Although this matter has nothing to do with the temple in the small town, because they are all priests of the goddess of agriculture, listening to malicious comments on the road will inevitably make you feel embarrassed and the impact is not good.
The old pastor listened and said for a moment: "It seems that it is indeed necessary to clean up."
After saying that, he looked at Shast meaningfully.
As a teacher, Shaster's idea was not known, but in the past, internal strife was prohibited, but now, if this happened, it could be brought up openly, causing Tenness to fall and give his disciples a chance.
"Aspect your orders, teacher!" Because of the promise so readily, the pastor Shast was still a little unbelievable, but in the blink of an eye, seeing the teacher's expression was affirmative, the pastor Shast was secretly happy. In his opinion, as long as the pastor Tenes fell, then in the temple, as he was almost at level 4, he must have obtained the position of presided over the pastor, right?
Even if you can't do it as you wish and can make your competitors, it's really a pleasure to fall down Tenness, who has always made you uncomfortable.
According to his ideas, the current trend is very beneficial to him, so he decided to add another fire to make the incident bigger.
So, after a brief conversation with the old pastor for a while, the pastor Shaster said goodbye and left.
Looking at his left back, the old pastor leaning against the soft chair just shook his head and said nothing. He sighed in his heart.
Half a day later, the church is more than 200 miles away from the small town.
"What? What happened? Scum! What is this Tenness doing?! If it is true, then this Tenness is simply unforgivable!"
The Bishop, who is responsible for the temple affairs of nearly ten cities and more than a hundred towns in this area, was looking at a secret report from Rika Town, and his face turned pale with anger.
He threw the report on the table in anger and then kept walking around the room.
Since he became the bishop of this area, such a serious thing has not happened. If things continue to make a big deal, I am afraid that even he will not be able to get rid of it.
"No, we can't let the matter continue to deteriorate. We must clarify the truth of the matter as soon as possible... The impact of this matter is getting bigger and bigger. If it is really big, it will have a serious impact on the reputation of the Goddess of the Earth..."
It turned out that in this secret newspaper, the various crimes of the pastor Tenness and the specific matters about how Tenness colluded with adventurers to frame the adventurers team were all listed on paper.
What angered the bishop the most was the bad influence caused by this matter, which was seriously unfavorable to the reputation of the goddess of earth among the believers. It also made the profession of the pastor, in this area he led, be trusted by the public during this period.
If the incident continues to evolve, it is very likely that he, the bishop, will be punished, which not only comes from the church, but also comes from the goddess - such as the reduction of God's grace.
For this reason, the Bishop immediately held a meeting.
