Chapter 2 Dark Moon Relic
A thin short pole is as thick as a top, and a round ball the size of a fist is fixed at the top, which looks like a short cane. This simple-structured cane is made of something. It is as dark as ink and dark as black. It is difficult to look away at it, as if even the soul has been sucked in.
The cane was placed flat on the table, with a few crystal lamps illuminating it, but no reflection. The black cane was like a black hole that swallowed light, making it impossible for all light to escape.
"Tsk tsk, it's it." Shuer held his hands behind his back and looked around the table. After a long time, he nodded with satisfaction. "It's still Mr. Earl who has the ability and is so difficult to deal with. I don't even want to contact him. I didn't expect that you would solve it so easily."
"Haha, we have different fields of contact. In my circle, it is actually not difficult to get what we like. Just understand each other enough. Coincidentally, I know that money-guarding mistress too much, so for me, it's so simple that it's enough to say a few words and pay a little price." But Cui Eun didn't care at all when dealing with things that even Shuer felt difficult. "Just like in your field, you want to get a collection, it's actually just a matter of being a good job after work, but for me, it's almost impossible to do it."
"That's right." Looking at the cane on the table, the smile on the corner of Shuer's mouth never disappeared, "So, our cooperation is a win-win situation."'
"Hahahaha, of course." Choi Eun pushed the cane to Shuer and said with a smile, "Speaking of it, I took advantage of it. All I paid was two collections that I didn't care about at all. The value was not very high, but I got this one, hahaha."
"Everyone takes what you need." Shuer slightly pointed out the direction of the body, "Then, the deal is reached?"
"The deal was reached." Holding hands together, Shuer and Choi En's hearts finally landed.
Pick up the cane and play with it in your hands. It feels warm and smooth as jade, but it has a faint warmth, which makes it more comfortable to touch than it does. Its fluttering weight and texture are quite hard. You can hear a crisp echo after a few strokes.
"It's true, haha, I finally got it." Stroking the cane gently, Shuer smiled gently and muttered to himself, "Lisa will be so happy that she is at a loss, haha, you will be happy, right? If you have such a feeling of happiness."
"Well, although this is not in line with the rules, I still hope you can satisfy my curiosity." The lord of Shuangshan City was quite interested in Shuer's reaction, "What is this thing?"
"It's nothing," Shul shrugged and said lightly, "It's just one of the Dark Moon holy objects."
"Oh, the Dark Moon Holy Relic." Cui Eun didn't react at all. After a few seconds, he almost jumped up. "What do you think this is? The Dark Moon Holy Relic? You are so miserable that you even throw away the sacred objects? And you are so calm?"
"What's so strange about this? Which church hasn't lost a few holy objects."
No, it is actually very strange. Everyone in Pavatiga knows how important sacred objects are to the church.
Apart from the actual effect of removing holy objects, in the sense alone, giving holy objects to God represents acceptance of the church, which shows that this is a true God church recognized by God. If the holy objects are lost, even if the gods do not surrender sins, believers will inevitably have doubts.
"Wait, you just said 'I've lost a few pieces'?" Choi Eun is best at discovering details, "It means you have lost more than this one? How many have you lost?"
"I'm all lost, what's wrong? Are you surprised?"
"Well, I'm very surprised." The Count looked at Shur who looked for granted, "Your Dark Moon Temple is so amazing."
"Well, I think so too."
"I'm not praising you." Cui En felt a headache. In fact, it's not his business, or it doesn't matter with secular rights. But firstly, the headquarters of the Dark Moon Church is in the Kingdom of Kora. Although it is said that the number of believers is only a few dozen, it is considered one of the beliefs that the Kingdom publicly supports. If the gods really sleep in the church in the end, it will not be of any benefit to the Kingdom of Kora. Secondly, Shuer is a friend he can talk to. Although he is a nobleman, he still doesn't want to watch his friends get into trouble without conflicts of interest.
"No need for this expression, things are getting better." Instead, Shuer comforted him, "The situation you imagined would not happen. At least I would never happen if I was in the temple for a day."
"Okay, what the hell is going on?"
"The old account from one hundred and fifty years ago." Shure sighed softly, "I don't need to explain this."
It's true that there is no need. As a member of the Kingdom of Kora, Cui En knew very well what he posted a hundred and fifty years ago. It was definitely not a glorious thing. After all, the Kingdom of Kora almost came to an end that time.
Since the end of the Age of Chaos and the establishment of the Temple of the Gods, although wars have continued in Pavatiga, there have been few large-scale wars in the true sense. The number of the sixty-three countries has never changed. Most of the wars are just local battles between various territories.
The only exception is one hundred and fifty years ago.
Back then, the queen of the Kingdom of Kora was young, and a large rift appeared in the kingdom in succession, causing chaos in the kingdom. The seven southern leaders took the opportunity to raise the flag of rebellion, and the rebellion swept across the entire kingdom and even almost captured the capital. If the royal lords finally took the initiative to support the capital, the kingdom would probably not be like this now.
During the war, although the two sides were fighting intentionally avoiding the temples due to their awe of gods and the fact that all churches were always neutral, it was a war after all. The defeated army that fell into despair was almost mad, and many temples were still affected. It seems that the Dark Moon Church is one of them.
"At that time, the temple had already declined, and there were not many priests in total. In addition, it happened to be the Dark Moon Tour. The archbishop took the only few formal priests to travel. There were only two or three priests and nuns in the temple. As a result, they were looted by the defeated army. The people were fine, and there was basically nothing left. But there was nothing left, and nothing could be taken away, so they finally snatched away all the holy objects."
The vivid words of Shuer were like telling stories. If he hadn't confirmed that he was the real combat priest in the Dark Moon Book, Cui E would probably feel that he was gloating.
"And you've been like nothing happened for more than a hundred years?"
"Otherwise? They all commit suicide and martyrdom?" Shur curled his lips, "There are fewer and fewer believers, one priest, one less and one less die, hahaha. In this case, you can't even pursue the whereabouts of holy objects, what else can you do?"
"In addition, we Lord Dark Moon don't care much about these things, so these three generations of archbishops simply put the matter of holy objects aside for the time being and barely maintain the church first. After all, this is the focus of their hearts."
"Okay, they are really amazing." Choi Eun was too lazy to be surprised, "What about you? Why are you interested in finding the holy objects now?"
"People are different. I can't do what they can do, but they can't do what I can do."
"Just like the thing that revives the glory of our Lord and spreads the majesty of the Dark Moon, it will be useless to give them a thousand years. The divine power and divinity of our Lord are destined to be unable to revival the church in general, and can only lead his way, for example, in my way."
Cui En has long been used to Shuer's confidence, and only such confident and capable people are qualified to be regarded as friends by him. Therefore, he does not intend to continue asking questions. Everyone keeps their own secrets. This is how people like them get along.
but……
"What are the divine powers and divinity of you Lord Dark Moon?" No one could recite all the more than 900 gods in the temple of Pavatiga. Everyone only knows the gods they believe in. For other gods, at most they have heard of names and know what they symbolize. As for others, they don't have such a good brain, and they really can't remember them.
"Do you want to believe in my Lord?"
"Of course not." Choi Eun shook his head vigorously. He was not planning to expand his faith.
"Then why should I try to explain to you?" Shuer rolled his eyes and continued to study the holy objects in his hand.
"Hey, are you really a priest? At this time, shouldn't you preach to me very actively and strive to develop me into a believer? What's the matter with too much trouble to work hard?"
In fact, it’s not that Shuer is too lazy to explain, but that it’s useless to explain.
Silent dedication, silent protection, unknown love.
The divine nature of the Dark Moon, like her original body, is guarded by people every moment, but is always away from people's observations. Orthodox missionary and preaching methods actually deviate from the nature of the Dark Moon, and there is no meaning, which makes Shuer very distressed at the beginning. In general, it is beyond his expectations that the Dark Moon goddess Luna could last until she has not yet fall asleep.
"Okay, although I don't know why you are so awkward, but even the holy objects are lost. Tsk tsk..." Cui Eun shook his head, "No wonder you even sell the divine territory in the Royal Capital Temple District. I heard..."
"Wait." Shure suddenly stopped playing with the holy objects in his hand, "Why don't I know about this? Our Bishop Lisa doesn't know either."
"Hmm? No?" Choi Eun said indifferently, "That might be a rumor. I just said that no matter how declining, it is unlikely that the territory of God will be sold."
"Yes, it must be a rumor...." Shuer's eyes narrowed into a slit, his fingers gently tapped the black holy object, and his expression seemed to have thought of something.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that some people think we are living too comfortable." After a while of silence, Shuer suddenly stood up, "It seems that I need to rush back immediately, Mr. Earl... I accidentally asked the public car to go back first by myself. It seems that I can only ask you to help prepare a car."
