The moment he heard the words of the young man in white, Bago's pupils shrank, and the two younger brothers were also shocked.
His priest?
Could it be that the person in front of me is the God of Earth?
It doesn’t look like a statue of a god!
"Friend, this joke is not funny." Bago suppressed the fear in his heart and pretended to be calm.
"That's right! Do you know who my eighth brother is? He is the priest of the Earth Temple! If you dare to play tricks on us like this, believe it or not, you won't be able to leave this city today!" The bald boy said with a serious expression.
Another boy moved a few steps, quietly blocked Chu Ci's path, and looked at him warily.
It’s not surprising that they reacted like this, because they knew very well that their boss’ priest was indeed pretending.
Speaking of which, this matter goes back a few months.
After they left the city of Brehse and headed to the western region, they discovered that there was also an Earth Temple in the western region.
Bago did not believe in evil, so he continued to move forward with his two younger brothers, hoping to find a city without an earth temple.
Obviously, they failed in the end.
Many cities in the entire western region either already have Earth Temples or are in the process of establishing Earth Temples, leaving no room for them to develop.
If this is the case, forget it, they will only be disappointed at most, and then continue to search elsewhere, and will not pretend to be priests.
But what happened next forced them to make such a choice.
Since the emergence of the Earth Temple, exchanges between cities have become more frequent and closer than before. Especially cities with Earth Temples will exchange information and trade with each other through the Earth Temple.
The same is true for the western region. Although they established the Earth Temple relatively late, it did not affect their communication with other cities and they soon connected with the Earth Temple in other regions.
It was at this time that the good days of the three mynas began to come to an end.
Some people are looking for traces of the three of them everywhere, and have also issued rewards to various areas in the desert. Anyone who provides clues about the three of them can get a large reward.
Since the bounty was announced, the three of them have been to several cities in succession, and before they even started committing fraud, they were recognized by people in that city.
At that time, the three Bagos looked puzzled. It was obviously the first time they came to this city and the first time they met the people here, but someone could recognize them and know which cities they had deceived.
Not only that, people in these cities even want to keep them.
Naturally, the three Bago brothers refused and quickly escaped.
Later, Bage and others found out that the cities they had deceived were offering rewards for them.
Previously, they used the news of creating water sources to defraud many cities of their life-saving money. Fortunately, the timely appearance of the Earth Temple saved many cities from the crisis of extinction and gradually recovered.
Initially, these cities thought that only one of their own had been deceived, but after communicating with the Earth God, they discovered that many cities had also been deceived by those three people.
The more these cities thought about it, the more angry they became. It just so happened that the conditions of the cities were much better now, and the communication in various desert areas was much simpler, so they thought of revenge, wanted to find this trio of liars, and then dealt with them severely.
Normally, it is normal to offer a reward, but the cities where the Bago trio committed fraud are basically concentrated in the southern region. They will not affect the western region anyway, and they will not be recognized even if they go to a city.
The reason for this is that the bounty for finding the three mynas is too high.
Since a large number of cities were deceived, each city was eager to retaliate and offered generous rewards. When the rewards and bounties from so many cities are added together, the level of temptation can be imagined.
This caused some sand people and merchant caravans who often communicated with the city to notice this bounty. Some people even traveled to the desert specifically for this bounty, so that they could recognize Myna and others at first sight.
After this incident, people in those cities also knew that the three Bagos were in the western region, so they sent a large number of manpower and hired several high-level special people with high salaries to catch these three people.
The three Bagos also knew that the Spitting Fire Desert could not stay any longer.
Originally they wanted to leave the desert, but they found many people searching for them on the road.
After hiding in various places, they discovered the small town where they are now.
This small town is very small, with a tribal population of less than 20,000. It has not had much contact with the outside world, and has no idea about the bounty.
Before Bage and others discovered it, this small town had just built a temple, and there were no temple personnel. The tribe leader was still discussing with the elders whether to go to the big city to invite a priest to come and help.
Although this city may be small, its financial resources are not low. There are several mines near the small town, and it is a veritable big business.
Bage took a fancy to this, so he pretended to be a priest and sneaked into the city's Earth God Temple.
Due to the emergence of the Earth Temple in recent years, rainfall in the desert has increased significantly, so the moisture in the air is much stronger than before, and creating water is not as difficult as before.
So taking advantage of this, Bago relied on the strength of a high-level water system specialist to create a small-scale rainfall effect, causing a sensation in the entire city.
Bage was originally a member of the Temple of Life, and knew a lot about the temple and the gods. In addition, he was very good at deception, and he soon became the priest of the Temple of Earth who guided the development of the entire city, and was respected by the entire city.
This changed Bago's original idea of cheating and leaving, and decided to stay for a while.
It is ironic to say that no one in the entire city knows that the priest they respect is not actually a believer of the earth god, and is even considered an enemy of their god.
If this matter is exposed, Bage and others will definitely be overwhelmed by the angry sand people, and they will not even know how to die.
Because of this, the two younger brothers were so nervous. They thought that the person in front of them got the news from somewhere and recognized their identity.
If that was the case, then they couldn't let the person in front of them leave so easily.
As for the question that the young man in white is the god of earth, they naturally don't believe it.
Rather, they couldn't believe it.
"Whether I am playing tricks on you or not, your boss will naturally know."
Chu Ci smiled slightly and looked at the starlings in the middle, as if he didn't notice their little movements.
At this time, Ba Ge was already sweating on his back, and he began to believe that Chu Ci was the God of Earth.
Although Chu Ci stood there without any movement or momentum, the sense of oppression it brought to Bago was indescribable.
Not only that, he could feel the unique divine majesty from Chu Ci.
He had only seen this majesty on that mysterious corpse!
The young man in white in front of me is a god even if he is not an earth god!
"Gulu!"
Bage swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Under Chu Ci's gaze, he finally couldn't bear the pressure in his heart and knelt down with a plop.
"Lord Earth God, I was blinded by profit, so I did such a stupid thing. Please spare my life, Lord Earth God!"
The bald boy was shocked: "Is he really the God of Earth?!"
The other younger brother was smarter. When he saw the boss kneeling, he immediately knelt down too, kowtowed heavily, and shouted: "Master Earth God, please forgive me for being blind and unable to recognize Mount Tai."
crime!"
The bald boy also reacted and knelt down quickly, but he didn't notice that there was a stone underneath, and he knelt so fast that his knee hit the stone hard. The pain made him grimace, but he didn't dare to cry out, and
He didn't dare to get up, so he could only maintain a stiff kneeling posture with a distorted expression.
With his painful look, those who didn't know thought he had been tortured.
Chu Ci was speechless. These three people gave in very quickly, which made his original idea of giving them a lesson first come to nothing.
Thinking about it, if these three people had not been cowardly, they would not have thought of cheating their own lives and escaping from the Temple of Life.
"Okay, let's let this matter go for now. I'm here this time to ask you something."
Chu Ci looked at Ba Ge: "Tell me, where is the headquarters of the Temple of Life?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were shocked.
Ba Ge showed a wry smile: "It seems that Lord Earth God, you already know our identities."
"But Lord Earth God, you don't know something. We have left the Temple of Life and are now just honest ordinary people."
Do you have any misunderstandings about honesty?
Chu Ci looked at Bage's appearance carefully and couldn't equate him with honesty.
"Ignore your relationship with the Temple of Life for now, answer my question first."
Seeing Bage's hesitation, Chu Ci said indifferently: "If you don't want to end up like Dulong, then explain it honestly and clearly, and maybe I can give you a chance."
"Dulong? What happened to Dulong?" Bago said in shock.
They have been in the small town and have not paid attention to what happened in the desert recently, so Bage still doesn't know that the Temple of Life in Thirteen Cities is gone, and even Dulong is dead.
Chu Ci didn't bother to explain and looked directly at Bage.
"look into my eyes."
Bage subconsciously raised his head and looked at Chu Ci. He only saw Chu Ci's eyes filled with light, which made him sink into it.
Advanced mind reading skills!
In just a moment, Chu Ci saw through all of Bage's memories, and even the secrets between him and his younger brother were clearly seen.
It’s so annoying!
After putting away the magic, Bago was still in a dazed state, not understanding what happened.
Chu Ci took a few steps back without leaving a trace, and said calmly: "I already know the matter, now let's talk about you pretending to be my priest."
"You dare to pretend to be a priest under my nose. You are very courageous."
"You should know that the temple is the most important thing to the gods. If you attack my temple, I will kill you."
When Bago came back to his senses, his face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt down quickly: "Lord Earth God, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again!"
"Of course I know the importance of the Earth Temple to Lord Earth God, so I didn't mess around after I became a priest, and I have been helping to develop the temple. This matter has been witnessed by everyone in the city."
"For the sake of our hard work in helping you develop the temple, please let us go!"
Chu Ci touched his chin, Brother Bage was right about this matter.
They knew the taboos of the gods and clearly understood the importance of the temple to the gods, so they kept their property to themselves. However, they were really conscientious in developing the temple, even better than most priests, otherwise they would not have done it.
It will attract so many people from out of town to this small town in a short period of time.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Chu Ci slowly said: "Although you are pretending to be a priest, your actions make you worthy of the position of priest."
"At this point, I have to praise you, and I might as well let you off the hook."
Before Bage and the other three could show their joy, Chu Ci changed the topic: "But death penalty can be avoided, and living crime cannot be forgiven. It is impossible for me to let you go so easily. What you guys did in the desert,
I know everything."
"Then I wonder what Lord Earth God is going to do with us?" Bago asked cautiously.
"It's very simple." Chu Ci flicked his finger, and a divine light carrying divine knowledge entered Ba Ge's mind: "From today on, you are the real priest under my temple."
Looking at the extra knowledge about the rain praying ceremony in his mind, Bago looked confused, not understanding what Chu Ci wanted to do.
Why did he really become a priest?
"Don't you like to pray for rain? From now on, you will be responsible for praying for rain. Whichever city needs it, you will go there. When you wait, you will visit all the cities in the spitting fire desert and get those who have been deceived by you.
With the city’s understanding, you can stop whenever you want.”
"If you dare to run away midway, haha, believe me, it will be useless even if you run to the ends of the earth, I can find you."
"You should make atonement for your past crimes."
Seeing Chu Ci gradually disappearing on the spot, Bago wanted to cry but had no tears.
"It's over. I will never leave the desert in my life."
The younger brother on the side comforted him: "Bago, think on the bright side, at least you are a real priest now. As long as the Earth God doesn't say anything, you can still enjoy it in the desert."
"Enjoy the hell!" Myna couldn't help but swore: "Didn't you listen to Him... He said? Whichever city is in need, I have to go there. Which city in the desert does not need rainfall? I can have one
Damn chance to enjoy it!”
The bald boy touched his shiny bald head and asked cautiously: "Lord Earth God is asking you to go, but we two shouldn't need it, right?"
Bage looked at him with an unkind expression: "It's okay if you don't want to go. You can choose a good place by yourself, and I'll bury you there."
The bald boy laughed dryly and said: "I'm joking, Bage, of course I want to go with you, we are a trinity."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Why don't you pack your things quickly!"
"Okay, let's go now."
…
On the other side, Chu Ci also left the small town after getting the information he wanted.
It was a deliberate decision for him to let Bago serve as a priest to pray for rain.
In addition to letting Bago and others atone for their sins, they also value Bago's strength as a high-level water-type special being.
At present, there are still only a few priests in the desert who can pray for rain, and the earth temples in many cities still do not have the means to control rainfall.
As a high-level special person of the water system, Bago is undoubtedly easier to pray for rain than other priests, which just allows him to alleviate this vacancy.
This can be regarded as people making the best use of it.
While thinking, Chu Ci soon returned to the Thirteen Cities.
"I know where the headquarters of the Temple of Life is."
After meeting everyone, Chu Ci's first words gave them a surprise.
