Falling so low

The Goddess of Life, Eliya, ranked second among the four main gods. She wasn't very strong in combat, but because her priesthood was in charge of life, she was worshipped by many people, and gradually became the fourth main god from a lesser god. It was said that she was gentle, so her believers were also very kind, exhorting the world to do good. Her priests were very good at all kinds of healing spells, and they were very popular among both the nobles and the commoners.

But there were many believers of the Goddess of Life, and there were all kinds of birds in a big forest. Liang Lidong had seen cheating believers of the Goddess of Life in the game, so it wasn't strange for an old man to kidnap Belin. The Clerics were too polarized. The good Clerics were almost saints, while the bad Clerics played with little boys for fun. Liang Lidong had killed at least 20 such perverted Clerics in the game.

Because he was worried about Belin, Liang Lidong walked very fast and soon reached his destination.

In front of him was a very tall building, almost as big as Uther's castle. The whole building was made of white marble, which reflected dazzlingly in the sun. The door of the temple was very large, about 30 meters high and 20 meters wide. The path to the door was also paved with marble, which was very luxurious.

Outside the shrine, there were many people wearing green clothes worshipping the shrine. Some of the men were even wearing green hats, and their attitudes were very devout.

"Something doesn't seem right. The Goddess of Life is a simple and kind goddess. Her temple usually wouldn't be so extravagant, and she wouldn't drive her believers out of the temple … "Liang Lidong took out two scrolls from his dimensional backpack and put them in his hand." Joan Of Arc, take these scrolls and fly into the sky. If anything happens, I'll use the mind channel to give you instructions. "

"You're going to fight the temple?" Joan Of Arc's voice was somewhat incredulous. "Is it worth it for a peasant girl? That's a temple. "

"Belin is my student," said Liang Lidong calmly. Liang Lidong said indifferently, "If something happens to her, I naturally have to help. Moreover, they might not necessarily fight. I asked you to prepare a backup plan just in case."

Joan Of Arc flapped her wings. "Suit yourself. I believe you'll make the right decision." After saying that, she grabbed the two scrolls and flew into the sky.

Liang Lidong shared Joan Of Arc's vision through the mind channel. Looking down from above, one could see that the shrine was in the shape of an "X". The four sides were filled with shrine buildings, and in the middle was a large empty space with fake mountains and rivers. At the bottom of the empty space in the middle was a tall statue of a goddess. His falcon-like vision allowed him to see very far. When Liang Lidong saw the blurry face of the goddess, he found it a little unfamiliar. He remembered that the statue of the Goddess of Life Eliya in the game wasn't like this. Her height and measurements didn't seem to be the same either.

It was getting stranger and stranger! Liang Lidong sighed and then walked to the front door of the temple. Before he entered, he was stopped by two young men in green believer robes. They looked arrogant, but seeing that Liang Lidong was also a spellcaster, they didn't show too much impoliteness. "Sir, this is the Temple of the Goddess of Life. Unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter."

"You don't allow believers to enter the temple to worship?"

Asked Liang Lidong curiously. Although the two young men were wearing the believer robes of the Temple of the Goddess of Life, they were actually just ordinary people. Their believer robes weren't enchanted, and the magic patterns on them were just illusions created by colors. Also, they didn't have extraordinary mental power. Even ordinary people could tell them apart, not to mention an authentic spellcaster like Liang Lidong.

"The temple is a sacred place. Ordinary people can't just come in!" One of the young men looked a little impatient. His tone revealed a hint of impatience, but because the other party was a spellcaster, he did not show his strong emotions. "Sir, why have you come to our temple? Please state your purpose, so that I can decide whether to let you in."

He actually didn't care about spellcasters at all. Liang Lidong didn't know whether to say that the young man was proud or arrogant. After all, people had different perspectives on things, things, and people. A person who was arrogant in one's eyes might be a brave man in another's eyes. He stepped forward, put his hand on the young man's shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm looking for someone. Not long ago, an old man wearing a robe with the symbol of a tree took one of my students away, so I came to take a look. After all, my student's parents entrusted her to me. I have to at least bring her home safely, don't you think?"

The young man's face turned red. As he struggled, he said angrily, "Let go, let go. You're hurting me."

He reached out his other hand and pushed Liang Lidong, trying to push him away, but the latter was like an iron tower and didn't move at all. Although Liang Lidong's level wasn't high, only Level-3, his Constitution was already very high. On the other hand, this ordinary person in front of him wasn't a professional, nor was he born with superhuman strength. At most, he was only "6". Moreover, he didn't know how to use force, so there was no way he could break free from Liang Lidong's grasp.

Another young man wanted to rush over to help, but Liang Lidong raised his index finger at him. There was a pale golden flame burning on his index finger. When the man saw this, he immediately stopped in his tracks, and fear appeared on his face. Although this little flame didn't have any lethality, it revealed the identity of the other party. This was a spellcaster. Everyone knew what would happen if an ordinary person became an enemy of a spellcaster.

"Sir, you are an honorable person. Why make things difficult for small characters like us!" The man's seemingly sincere tone contained some sarcasm.

"You also know that you are small characters? I thought you were the bishops here! " Liang Lidong laughed and said, "Then tell me, did an old man come back with a young girl just now?"

"Yes, but they went out soon," the young man replied.

"Where did they go!"

The young man replied without hesitation, "They went in the direction of the castle."

Liang Lidong snorted and pointed his finger at the young man. A beam of green light merged into the young man's body. Then he said, "This is a poison spell. If no one helps you detoxify it within six hours, it will take effect. You will die in ten minutes, turn green, and then turn into a puddle of thick water. Even if someone helps you, if it's not a spellcaster, it will be very troublesome. I don't know if your bishop or priest is willing to risk injury to detoxify you. "

The young man's face became very ugly. Liang Lidong was about to leave when the man suddenly shouted, "I remember now. The person who took away your student is our priest, Mr. Ackerman. He is also a spellcaster, very powerful. He said that this girl is very talented and wants to take her as a student. He is in the left hall of the temple. "

"You should have said so earlier!" Liang Lidong pushed away the person whose shoulder he was squeezing and walked into the temple.

The other young man shouted, "What about the poison spell you planted in me?"

"Wait for me to come out!" Liang Lidong waved his hand as he walked in.

Both of the young men looked very awful. One of them had his collarbone almost broken by Liang Lidong, and the other was worried that his life would be in danger in six hours. In fact, Liang Lidong's finger just now had only gathered some life elements and shot it into the other party's body. It didn't have any lethality at all. Instead, it had an extremely weak healing effect. However, these two young men were just ordinary people. They didn't know what was harmful magic and what was beneficial magic.

After entering the gate, he walked through a long corridor, and then entered the garden in the middle of the temple. When he shared Joan Of Arc's vision, he saw that the garden of the temple was already very large from the sky, but now that he was in it, he felt that it was even wider. On the other hand, he did find the statue of the goddess at the bottom of the garden very strange, and he vaguely sensed that there seemed to be hostility emanating from the statue of the goddess.

Many people were walking in the garden. They were all ordinary people who seemed to be servants of the temple. Seeing Liang Lidong, someone immediately asked, "Sir, have you come to the garden of the Life Goddess to pray for childbirth or to look for someone?"

The clergy of the Life Goddess included the succession of future generations. Liang Lidong lied without blinking. "I'm here to look for Mr. Ackerman. I had an appointment with him yesterday."

Seeing that Liang Lidong was wearing the clothes of a spellcaster, the man didn't suspect anything and said, "Please follow me."

Following the male servant, Liang Lidong zigzagged in the glamorous garden and didn't reach his destination until five minutes later. The servant pointed at the wooden door before him and bowed, leaving to do his own thing.

When he approached the wooden door, Liang Lidong heard Belin's frightened voice from inside. "No, no, I already have a teacher. I don't want to be your student. My teacher will be angry. "

"I'm a priest of the Church of the Life Goddess in Winterwind. Even the mayor has to show me some respect. Your teacher, who can only teach people in the village for food, isn't even as good as one of my fingers. You'll have a better future if you follow me. "

The man's voice was coarse and old. Liang Lidong walked forward and knocked on the door. Then, he opened the door and walked in.

Belin hid in a corner and curled up. The old man in the green robe of a believer turned around when he heard the noise. He was rather angry at being disturbed, but he was stunned to see Liang Lidong's red robe. "Who are you?"

"I'm the village mage who isn't even as good as one of your fingers."

"Master!" Seeing Liang Lidong, Belin jumped to her feet and jumped behind Liang Lidong like a frightened kitten.

Seizing the opportunity, Liang Lidong opened the information of the old priest who looked angry.

Name: Ackerman (Level 6)

Race: Human (Old)

Profession: Priest (Life Goddess)

Age:???

Reading the information, Liang Lidong secretly snorted. The man was only level 6 at such an old age. He couldn't have been a great talent.

"Oh, you're this girl's teacher? Great timing! " Ackerman blinked twice, his brown, muddy eyes showing signs of aging. "Her qualities are very suitable to become a believer of our Goddess of Life. Since you're her teacher, you should understand her value. She deserves a better future. Of course, I won't let you lose a talent for nothing. Go collect 20 gold coins later as compensation for your labor!"

If those two young men at the door had no one in their eyes, it could be attributed to their youth and lack of understanding of the world. But this old man is at least over 50 years old and still has this disdainful character, what has happened to him in these decades? What has happened to the Temple of the Goddess of Life in these 300 years that it has declined to such a state!
