Goddess Wanhua Mirror

However, considering that Elaine's existence is rather special, and there is almost no possibility of telling the outside world, Lu De wanted to tell her some truths so that she could be formally included in his "core team". It's not good to leave it to her.

One person and one ghost were chatting happily, when the cabinet in the corner of the room suddenly shook without warning.Lu De was slightly taken aback when he heard the sound, then pointed to the cabinet and asked Eleven.

"Did you do it?"

"No, it should be the book in the hidden compartment that is moving. This is the third time today. It's quite scary to do it so suddenly!"

Without complaining about Elaine, an undead would be startled by the cabinet. Lude got up and went to the cabinet, removed a few books and documents on the second floor, revealed the secret door behind, and took out a locked wooden door from inside. box.

There are hidden compartments behind several bookshelves and cabinets on the south wall of the secret room, which are used to hide some special valuables.Like Eleven's urn and the pendant that she can use to sleep are all here.

And in the wooden box held by Lude, there is a special item that they just recovered not long ago-"Book of Ashes"!

This book was originally just a prop used by Lude to fool the lizardmen, and it did not have any special abilities.But the Greyscale clan who never wanted to get it actually believed in the nonsensical content in the book, and insisted on using their fanatical beliefs and sacrificial rituals to endow the book with a trace of divine power.

In the dwarven dungeon, most of the adventurers who took part in the operation thought that the book had been taken away by the remaining lizardmen, but in fact the lizardmen who took it ran out and were caught up by Hume He cut off the Hu halfway and snatched the book back.

After successfully recovering this item, Lu De thought at first that it had been turned into an "artifact" by the lizardmen, and he got a big treasure for nothing.But after Hume's appraisal, they found that the book was far from reaching the level of a real artifact, and only initially possessed some artifact-like characteristics.If you have to say it, it should belong to an unfinished semi-finished product!

So in theory, as long as Lude really starts a cult, and then receives enough faith to summon his bearded "devil god Hidetaka Miyazaki", then this "Book of Ashes" can become a real artifact .

But that's what you say, but you can't do it!

Lude did plan to create some new gods one after another in the future, but he never thought of creating evil gods, especially this kind of "malicious collection" that takes pleasure in deceiving people. Big problem!

So, after this tasteless "Book of Ashes" was recovered, it was shelved by Lude and put in the dark compartment of the secret room to be refrigerated.

However, no one expected that less than a month had passed, and the originally silent "Book of Ashes" would suddenly move by itself, as if something sealed inside had finally awakened from hibernation.

End of this chapter

Taking out the "Book of Ashes" from the wooden box, Lu De could clearly feel at a glance that the state of the book had "recovered" a lot compared to when it was just recovered a month ago.It was a feeling like a living thing. Lu De stretched out his hand to caress the cover, and could even feel it trembling.

Very novel, yet subtly a little disgusting!

Lude speculates that this "magic book" nourished by faith either has a certain degree of resilience itself, or the remaining Grayscale clan is still providing energy for this book.

At the beginning of the crusade against the Lizardmen, although the Grayscale Clan fell into the trick of the humans to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and the old nest was destroyed by the humans in one fell swoop, a considerable number of Lizardmen still survived.The Void Forest is so big, if hundreds of Lizardmen insist on hiding, it is really hard to find them.

And these escaped survivors may be full of engraved hatred for human beings at this moment, praying to the devil fabricated by Lude, and these beliefs nourished the "Book of Ashes".

If you think about it this way, it seems to make sense.

With this curiosity, Lu De opened the "Book of Ashes" to check the degree of recovery of the book.There is nothing to say about the contents of the book, they are all nonsense made up by Lude, and written by Hume in ancient fonts. If you read it carefully, it will even make people feel a sense of shame.

So Lu De directly turned to the "Pokémon Illustrated Book" at the back.

When he first wrote the book, Lu De was purely out of a kind of evil taste unique to time travelers, and integrated the Pokémon Summoner into it. As a result, the lizard people really dared to think and dare to do it. , They went so far as to directly attack and sacrifice their guardian giant snake.

The eight-headed giant snake also fell into the hands of Lude along with the "Book of Ashes".

Turning to the page of the illustration book of the giant snake with the head, as expected, the original "Big Broken Illustrated Book" has undergone obvious changes. The giant snake on the page has recovered in sevens and eighties. They all grew back as they were, but the curled up posture was still very weak.

At this time, Lude noticed that the giant snake in the painting suddenly moved slowly, raised one of the snake's heads, and "looked" at Lude outside the painting.

"Absolutely, can you see me?"

As soon as Lu De finished speaking, a text appeared under the giant snake's illustrated book.

"Yes."

Seeing that the giant snake did respond to him, Lude suddenly became interested, and Elaine, who was on the side, also came over, and was surprised to find that Lude was actually having a "cross-dimensional" conversation with the painting and calligraphy creature, which was beyond imagination.

"My lord, is it, is it alive?"

"Well, it's alive."

"It looks... kind of cute!"

"..."

Hearing that Elaine actually said that the eight-headed giant snake was cute, Lu De's expression was quite speechless for a while.You must know that this snake was a well-known monster lord before the lizardman got in the way, and its strength was only slightly lower than that of an adult dragon. With a favorable home environment, it even had a chance to fight back!

Fortunately, this giant snake has now become a summoned object in the book. As long as Lude doesn't release it, it can only stay in the "Two-dimensional" obediently and be a paper snake.

The giant snake trapped in the book is trying to "negotiate" with Lude at this time, saying that he knows the treasure hidden in the depths of the forest by the Lizardman, and as long as Lude is willing to release her, she will take Lude to find the treasure. Obviously trying to trick Lu De into letting her out of the book.

It's a pity that Lude is not a lizardman who is easy to fool. He was completely unmoved by her glib tongue and lure, and said to the giant snake with a sneer.

"Don't waste your energy, I won't be fooled, at least until I figure out how to control you, you can stay inside honestly."

"Your mother was killed by a kobold..."

Seeing that Lu De was completely unmoved by her rhetoric, the giant snake sealed in the page suddenly became angry, but no matter how much she grinned, she couldn't break through the seemingly thin page.

Before she could use the "Zuan Snake Language" to personally attack herself, Lu De closed the book first, and the giant snake's monstrous anger immediately turned into a slight tremor that was neither painful nor itchy.

Lude, who was in a completely dominant position, was able to handle it with ease at this time. This giant snake was now the meat on his chopping board, and she was not in a hurry to cook it for a while.

So Lude picked up the "Book of Ashes" and was about to put it back into the wooden box and lock it up, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of an interesting "little experiment".

Under Elaine's perplexed gaze, she turned her head and brought some sulfur powder from the laboratory bench beside her, opened the book again to the page of the giant snake, and sprinkled it on before the paper snake sprayed on it. Sulfur powder went up, and then quickly closed the book again.

This time, the shaking of the book was obviously much stronger than before, but it was only to the extent of the vibration of the mobile phone. Lu De put some shockproof linen in the wooden box, which reduced the vibration to a level where it would not shake.

"Let her be locked up like this for a week, and then take it out next week to have a look."

After finishing the restless paper snake, Lude reckoned that the sky outside should be dawning soon, so he casually gave Eleven a few words, then got up and left the secret room, and returned to the temple on the ground.

As usual, everyone in the temple was woken up by Lude at dawn, ready to start a new busy day.And today happens to be Monday, Lu De has a new business ready to start running.

This business is "precise timekeeping".

Before that, Songshu Village, like most villages in the world, lacked a relatively strict concept of time.Basically, the activities are carried out with the sunrise and sunset as the reference point, and the time telling mainly depends on the chickens in the village.

But this level alone, Lude thinks it is far from enough, so taking advantage of this time to repair the temple, Lude asked Bank, the blacksmith in the village, to order a loud copper bell, and let the workers install it on the roof.Then, through Hamilton's relationship, he ordered a magic timer from the Tower of Three.

This thing is expensive, and only the top magician association like the Three-person Tower has the ability to make it. It is one of the very few props in the world that can accurately calculate time.Therefore, for Lu De, who does not know how to make watches, it is not wrong to spend the money.

After the magic timer and copper bell were all in place, Lu De officially issued an announcement to the villagers that timekeeping would be one of the main businesses of his temple. From then on, the bell would ring three times at six o'clock in the morning, twelve o'clock in the morning and six o'clock in the evening every day. Provide convenience for the villagers in the village.

So with the first bell ringing in the morning, the villagers of Songshu Village woke up from their sleep one after another. This voice clearly told each of them... It's time to get up and dance radio gymnastics with the priest!

End of this chapter

For those out-of-towners who don't know the God of Medicine Sect, Songshu Village can show them incredible scenes every morning. The whole village, men, women and children come together in the morning, put aside everything else, and go to the main road in front of the house first. Let's dance together in the direction of the Temple of Physiognomy.

Because this kind of "religious activity" can't be seen in other places, it often attracts outsiders who don't know the truth, such as the people in the Rainbow Circus.

Serves was woken up by the bells of the temple in the morning, and because of this, she had a short burst of "wake-up anger", which scared the team members to tremble.

As an older leftover woman in her late thirties, Servis, like many women of similar age, has been worrying about her skin problems. In addition to her love of beauty, she is also a member of her own rainbow circus. The head of the family, Huadan, her appearance is seriously related to the income of the circus.

When she was young, Serves also had a dream in her heart, and felt that she should have a higher pursuit, to be a truly elegant artist.

But the cruel reality quickly taught the young Serves that 99.99% of the people in this world are not interested in the art she desires.These vulgar people just want to see the buttocks, buttocks, and big white legs, and their minds are full of GHS!

So under the pressure of survival, Servis gradually looked away.

Make money, it's not shabby!

However, as she grows older, the middle-aged crisis also comes unknowingly, her body begins to lose shape, and her skin is no longer smooth and delicate. In order to maintain her beauty, Serves has thought of many ways and done a lot Trying to keep sleep time is one of them.

Therefore, the bell at six o'clock in the morning was like a reminder to her.

In desperation, Serves had no choice but to get up early, but as soon as she left the hotel where she was staying, she saw villagers "dancing" in the street outside, and the scene was spectacular!

"What are they doing?"

"I heard from the hotel owner that this is the blessing dance of the God of Medicine Sect. He said that he insists on dancing every day, and it can bless the believers to be healthy and less likely to get sick."

"And this statement?"

"That's what the local priest said."

The team member under him shrugged, saying that he had just inquired about this from others, and he was not very clear about the specific situation.

Servis thinks she has traveled far and wide and seen a lot, but this is indeed the first time she has seen such a scene.

"Team leader, how many shows do we really want to perform here?"

"Of course! I already greeted the village head here yesterday. The grain drying farm can lend us three days for free, and everything will be done according to the old rules."

Serves plans to stay in Pine Tree Village for three to five days, and perform a few performances to find out how the income of the local villagers is.However, she also knew that no matter how rich the villages and towns were, their spending power would definitely not be comparable to that of big cities with a relatively concentrated population. Performing here was purely a matter of making up for it.

In terms of strength, the Rainbow Circus belongs to the kind of medium-sized group that is less than superior and more than inferior, so it often does not pick and choose.

But before the show officially started, Servis had to pay a visit to some local bigwigs.In their line of work, black and white people have to be careful, and no one can afford to provoke them.

And Servis is very clear, don't be negligent just because it is a small place.There is a saying that the water is shallow and the king is bad, and there are big brothers everywhere!The seemingly simple countryman, sometimes violent, is more vicious than many gangsters in the city, and he has no qualms about being black-hearted.

Fortunately, at least at first glance, Pine Tree Village is not that kind of smoky place, and the local law and order are in good condition, so Serves reckoned that since she had already greeted the village chief yesterday, as long as she paid another visit to the temple and the self-police group, she should be fine. No big deal anymore.

So after making some preparations, Servis took some small gifts and went out.

She first came to the headquarters of the Police Corps, because this place was very close to the hotel where they were staying, and the distance between the two was less than 50 meters.Serves had already inquired before that the head of the village's police force was called Ron, the eldest son of the village chief Rom, a big man nicknamed "Black Bear".

However, when Servis came to the gate of the police headquarters, she unexpectedly found a meeting place of the God of War here.

"Strange! Is there a God of War sect here?"

Noticing the familiar emblem of the God of War Cult, Servis was taken aback for a moment, and a lot of question marks popped up in her heart.She didn't know what happened in the local area two months ago, so she felt that the situation in front of her was very strange.

Because the God of War Sect is one of the three most famous and powerful sects in the world, under normal circumstances, where they are present, unless there are also two other two of the Yusan Family, forming a three-legged confrontation, otherwise it will definitely be The largest church power in the area.

But the situation in Songshu Village is just the opposite. The God of Medicine Sect is the only one, while the God of War Sect has only such a small and inconspicuous assembly hall.

So with this kind of doubt, Serves brought her men to the door of this assembly hall, and looked around the room curiously. Suddenly, a young man's voice came from behind them.

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you?"

Looking back abruptly, Serves saw a young monk with "not a blade of grass growing" on his head. The tag hanging on the other's chest was the monk's emblem of the God of War Sect.

And this young bald monk is none other than Elu, a monk of the God of War Cult who once participated in the Valiant Army, and he was also a disciple of the late high-ranking priest Narad... At least he used to be!

After Narad and his personal mentor Geralis died one after another, a power struggle broke out in the Duran diocese of the God of War religion because of the position of the archbishop. Bishop Worral of the Lumley diocese decided to abandon Pine Tree Village out of interest considerations, and at the same time Befriended the God of Medicine Sect, the two parties signed a sale and purchase agreement on the God of Medicine.

After the agreement was signed, the God of War Sect gave up setting up a temple in Songshu Village, leaving only one monk, and set up a religious assembly hall in the village.And the person who was left behind was Elu. In addition to being Narad's former disciple, he was also the youngest son of the Masdak family, the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom.

Ural took him into his own school, and then deliberately left him in Pine Tree Village to manage the assembly hall.For more than a month in Songshu Village, Elu's life was not going well.

There is basically no need to think about preaching. The God of Medicine Sect has already been deeply rooted in the local people. Elu is alone and weak. Even if the God of Medicine Sect does not hinder him, he will not be able to attract a few believers by himself. , so Elu has nothing to do every day, but Priest Lude occasionally comes to chat with him.

Unexpectedly, someone actually came today at the door of the meeting place where there are few people, which made Elu somewhat at a loss.

End of this chapter

"Ma'am... are you here to pray?"

"Uh, no...well! We are."

Facing the young monk in front of her, Serves was embarrassed to say that she came here to take a look because she thought your assembly hall looked shabby, pitiful, and completely unworthy of the name of the God of War Cult. The irony of the words was too strong.

So in desperation, he didn't believe in Servis, the God of War, so he could only bite the bullet and enter the house, pretending to pray.

Several people followed Eru into the house. Although the interior decoration is not bad, it is completely inconsistent with the golden style of the God of War Cult. There is a sense of cheapness in the comfort, and then thinking that this place belongs to the God of War Cult. Religious place , which is even more embarrassing.

Eru also seemed to see the surprise in Servis' eyes, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart.But for him now, this is also impossible.

To put it bluntly, the so-called "meeting place" is a substitute that has no money to build a temple but wants to hold religious gatherings.It mainly exists in the sparsely populated impoverished villages, or those small sects that struggle to survive in the cracks of the big cities will first make such a makeshift.

But it is really rare for the War God Sect to wrong themselves so much!

By the way, there are no statues of gods enshrined in the assembly hall, but a stone tablet engraved with the religious emblem of the God of War is erected in the center of the main hall for believers to pray.This is mainly because the god of war has been trained not to place his statue at will in a place that would damage his face.

Therefore, such a shabby and simple place like the meeting place is not allowed to enshrine the statue of the God of War, otherwise the gods will be angry and send down divine punishment.

After roughly looking around, Servis, who was in a hurry to get down to business, pretended to pray in front of the religious emblem, then got up and wanted to leave.But Eru, who had been staring at her for a while, suddenly recognized Servis.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Servis from the Rainbow Circus?"

"Uh...it's my lord, Mr. Brother, do you know me?"

"Oh! It really is Miss Service! I, I have seen your performance before, and I am your fan!"

Seeing Sevis's confession, Eru was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
