The purple diamond in the brochure looks crystal clear, even in color, and an unprecedented purple color. It has a mysterious appeal and is particularly eye-catching.
What's even more noteworthy is that this diamond is as big as a quail egg and has a regular shape, which is in line with the most standard diamond shape in people's common sense.
But the introduction text next to it emphasizes that this diamond is just a rough stone without any polishing or carving?
The miraculous craftsmanship of nature?
Gallo muttered in his mind, searched his memory carefully, and finally remembered why he thought this purple diamond looked familiar.
The 'Flower of Hope' planted in the church garden also showed him a purple diamond.
The flower of hope came from the remains of the Star God's vessel. After a failed sacrifice, it turned into a seed. After being planted by Gallo, it quickly sprouted and taught him the useless monitoring god.
technique.
Gallo thought of this and quickly activated the surveillance magic to check the situation in the church.
In the garden, there was a cartoon-shaped bud. Gallo tried to poke it with his eyes, and a dialog box appeared next to it, which contained a purple diamond pattern.
The overall style of the surveillance footage in Gallo's eyes was cartoonish and cute, and this diamond was no exception. It looked like a product from an animation or an icon in a game.
The patterns on the auction brochure are created by magic to achieve a photo-like effect. There should be no beautification or filters added, and the painting style is very realistic.
Therefore, the purple diamond in the manual and the purple diamond in the bubble box have huge differences in style, and may not be the same thing.
But Gallo subconsciously felt that this should be the same thing.
This is his judgment based on his experience on earth.
In his memory, he was a priest on earth who could call upon the wind and rain, go to heaven and earth, slay dragons and demons, and save the world. He often encountered all kinds of strange tasks and commissions. You can see them in the mission description.
A cartoon-style icon used to refer to specific mission objectives.
For example, it is clearly a ferocious dragon, but the mission description uses a fat, naive, and somewhat cute icon to refer to it.
This time, it seems to be the same?
According to past experience, I should have found this purple diamond and brought it back to this flower of hope?
But what puzzled him was why this magical technique presented the prompt in front of him in this way?
If I didn't still remember some things on Earth, I wouldn't be able to understand the hints of this style at all, right?
Gallo didn't delve into this question, because he was destined to get no answer. He turned around and considered whether to buy the purple diamond.
This purple diamond must be worth a lot of money, because it appears on the last few pages of the brochure.
According to the old bishop, the later something appears, the more expensive it is. If you want to buy it, you may have to spend a lot of money...
But fortunately, it does not appear in the last three pages, which means that it has not reached the point of being the final product.
This may be because it is just a rough stone and not a finished product?
The price difference between the rough stone and the finished product is likely to be dozens or even hundreds of times...
But the situation is still not optimistic. After all, this rough stone is too big and the color is too strange. It is still easy to attract bidding. The money Gallo has on hand is really not enough.
And it was impossible for him to spend all the money on this. He also wanted to buy a bracelet for Daidai, a leg ring for Amiya, and he also wanted to give Lilian Luo a small gift.
In addition, the daily expenses of the church must be maintained...
More importantly, he didn't know whether this thing was worth spending a lot of money on.
Maybe Flower of Hope doesn't want the rough stone? That icon means something else?
Maybe Flower of Hope has no use in taking this rough stone?
What is more likely is that if you buy the rough diamonds and have some adverse consequences, you will really suffer a big loss.
Gallo couldn't help but fell into a contradictory situation. His experience and intuition told him that he should buy it, but his rationality told him that he should not waste money on such an illusory thing with unclear meaning, purpose and illusory purpose.
This is quite a bit like the tangled feeling when faced with the button to draw ten cards in a row with the salary you just received...
In fact, in the final analysis, it is all caused by lack of money. If the old bishop is a mine and oil field developer, do you still need to worry about this? Wouldn't it be better to just buy it and explode it?
Gallo struggled for a while and finally decided to use a simple and direct method to make a decision.
He knelt down on one knee in the direction of the church and prayed in a low voice:
"Lord Miya, do you want to buy this diamond?"
The goddess did not respond directly to him.
But it gave a hint.
The robe on Gallo's body automatically changed color, becoming golden and shining, as if it were woven with gold foil.
Gallo suddenly woke up and said quickly:
"Lord Miya, I understand what you mean!"
"You asked me to pawn this robe and then buy this purple diamond, right?"
The goddess did not answer him.
But the small wooden hammer in his sleeve flew out automatically and hit him on the forehead...
Gallo:(@﹏@)
"Oh, oh, oh, Master Miya, I was wrong. You mean not to buy it and not to waste it, right?"
The wooden hammer flew back into his sleeve.
Gallo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this time, he had guessed the goddess's thoughts correctly.
But the sea urchin necklace on his chest flew up on its own...
Gallo:Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"Ouch! Miya-sama, I was wrong. Buy, buy, buy, buy them all! Buy them all!"
At this time, the sea urchin necklace changed from the meteor hammer back to a normal necklace and returned to his neck.
Sigh... It's hard to guess a girl's thoughts, let alone a goddess's?
Gallo then went back to his room, found several bank deposit slips hidden in the closet, under the bed, and in the gaps of drawers, and then counted his current net worth.
More than 40,000 gold is really a lot...
"Keep the change for daily use, and use the remaining 40,000 gold to buy things..."
"I don't know if it's enough..."
Gallo said with some distress.
He originally planned to use this money to buy materials to decorate a set of powerful barriers at the church.
But since the goddess gave a clear hint, this matter can only be shelved for the future.
However, after counting the property, Gallo noticed that the bulk of it was the shop owner's ward buyout fee and Mrs. Carola's ward layout fee.
Basically, they are all earned through enchantment...
"It would be great if more people as rich as Mrs. Carola came to me to set up barriers..."
He couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
At this time, Amiya next to him suddenly pulled his arm.
When Gallo turned around, he saw Amiya lift up her skirt and take out a money bag.
This purse was what he had given her last time, and it contained the gold coins that Amiya poured out of Mader's body.
Amiya has always been very rare about this private money and hid it carefully, not even giving it to Gallo.
But right now, she was opening her purse and pouring the dozen gold coins inside onto the table in front of the two of them.
Amiya tilted her head slightly, as if she was thinking and hesitating, then reached out and put half of the gold coins in front of Gallo.
You mean, give half of your private money to Gallo?
But she blinked again, stretched out her hand again, and transferred half of the gold coins on her side.
There were only three gold coins left in front of her...
Gallo looked at this scene and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Amiya reached out for the third time and moved two more gold coins to his side.
On her side, she only has the last gold coin left...
"Amiya, you..."
Gallo hesitated to speak, feeling that his heart was about to melt.
Amiya turned to look at him and noticed that the expression on his face was still solemn, so without hesitation for the fourth time, she picked up the last gold coin in front of her and placed it on Gallo's side.
The purse where I kept my personal money is completely empty.
But Amiya folded the money bag carefully and put it away close to her body.
Gallo didn't know what to say at this time, or even what expression to use.
He just turned around and gave Amiya a big hug.
Amiya's blue eyes flickered slightly, showing some confusion and confusion, and they looked like human eyes.
But she quickly recovered and gave Gallo a big hug.
In the early morning of winter, the temperature should have been very low, but Gallo felt warm in his heart.
Even Amiya's slender body seemed less cold, as if it had body temperature.
But in the end, Gallo did not accept Amiya's kindness, but pushed the dozen gold coins back to her.
"It's okay Amiya, actually I'm pretty good at making money..."
"Save the money carefully and buy something you like."
Amiya was stunned for a moment, looked down at the gold coins in front of her, then looked at Gallo next to her, then tilted her head and started thinking about something again...
So, after daybreak, Gallo went to find the old bishop and told him what happened in the early morning.
"Since the goddess has given a hint, we must carry it out seriously."
"You don't have to worry about money. If it doesn't work, I'll make you look like this..."
The old bishop said seriously.
In fact, if he is willing, he only needs to write a few letters, one to Artanis, one to Carlos, and Li, as well as the Witch Cult...
But Gallo got it wrong and quickly advised:
"No, no! I can't let you borrow money from usury."
"Those people are all extremely vicious!"
"No...I just..."
The old bishop was about to defend himself, but Gallo quickly interrupted him:
"Do you want to mortgage the land deed here? That's even worse. This is the church we finally got!"
"Anyway, don't worry about this anymore, just leave it to me!"
"If it doesn't work out, I'll go find Mrs. Carola..."
