Time stops for the brave, evil paths quickly pass

Chapter 17 Seat of Fate

New system?
Yuan Kong picked up his energy and quickened his pace slightly.

Whether the Church of the Earth Sect is a little shabby, it is still very big. Walking through the overgrown courtyard, bypassing a dry fountain, you are faced with a door with an unclear pattern.

Sheriff Wigg raised his hand and pushed the door open.

With a "squeak" sound, dust rustled down from the door, like heavy rain!
Yuan Kong took a step back and saw that the main hall was full of dust, and even the statue at the end had moss attached to it. It looked like an abandoned ancient temple in the mountains, not to mention holy, even a little eerie.

He opened his mouth and asked curiously: "Chief, are we in the wrong place?"

"It shouldn't be..."

Clearly, Weig was not a religious man.

Like Yuan Kong, it was his first time here. He heard that the Earth Sect in Mirror Lake City was in decline, but he did not expect that the desolation would reach this point.

this place……

Is anyone staying there?

Yuan Kong said: "Aren't there three major religions? How about we go to the other two to have a look?"

Weige shook his head decisively: "No. The other two sects receive municipal funding from Mirror Lake City and are closely related to the city lord's palace. They may compromise."

Then this.

"Look for it! Maggie Pope should be in there."

"Then... let's look for it."

Yuan Kong and Weige stepped inside. The police chief looked around, and Yuan Kong had a clear goal and stood directly under the statue.

He didn't know how to pray, so he tried to close his eyes. After a while, his eyes brightened and information came to him!

[As long as you don’t lose your nobility, the whole world will be open to you. 】

"..."

what?
What did I just see?
Yuan Kong subconsciously opened his eyes and looked around. Fortunately, there isn't a fat and flying emergency food around, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell.

He calmed down and closed his eyes again.

In front of you is a redemption list similar to a mobile game mall:

[The number of divine crystals you currently hold: 10. 】

[Life Base Improvement]: Consume 10 divine crystals. Unlock a new form: 'Yuan Kong·Earth Sect'.

[Summon Golem]: Consumes 10 divine crystals. Summon a mud and stone golem to assist in combat.

[Journey of the Earth]: Consumes 100 divine crystals. Use the power of the goddess to teleport long distances through the earth's veins and transfer to any statue of the Earth Goddess.

It is indeed a new system!

What the hell is this zodiac sign? Can you change it? It’s PTSD.

"Yuan Kong·Earth Form" sounds like a Kamen Rider and a Traveler's power system, all broken.

Yuan Kong looked at them one by one and found that the enhancement provided by the Earth Goddess was a bit lacking.

The strength of the other two is unknown, and the final "Tales of the Earth" is really...

It looks delicious!

Long-distance transmission, not to mention in this world with very backward logistics and transportation, even in modern times, this ability is extremely tempting.

It's a teleportation anchor point, right? Do you want to open the idol?
The asking price is only 100 crystals, which is too much. If the reward for the stage mission is fixed at 10 crystals, you can only redeem it after completing ten stage tasks.

Ten times, maybe before he finished, Yuan Kong was wiped out by the system due to mission failure.

the other side.

Wei Ge turned his head and saw Yuan Kong standing under the statue with a pious face. He chuckled and asked, "Are you still a believer in the earth?"

what?
No.

Yuan Kong opened his eyes, and the exchange interface also disappeared. He looked at Weig and asked: "Chief, do you have any research on magic? Does the Earth Sect have any powerful spells?"

"Without research, I have no spellcasting talent."

Wig doesn't mind small talk.

He smiled and said: "If you want to talk about powerful spells, it must be the 'Journey to the Earth'! The advanced teleportation technique is a 'miracle technique' that only the most devout believers of the Earth Sect can master! In one minute, you can travel from the most powerful place in Annan Kingdom to From the east side, move it to the far west side, isn’t it great?”

so amazing!

Yuan Kong asked: "What about 'Summoning Demon Puppet' and 'Earth Form'?"

Summon the golem to know, what is the shape of the earth?
Wei Ge didn't want to show his cowardice, he didn't know how to pretend to understand, and said arrogantly: "They are all powerful. How can there be magic that is not powerful? Master, Master! Are you finished praying? Come with me when you are done, there are still many things to do. "

"It's over."

Anyway, there are only ten points, so you can only learn one at most, so don’t rush to use them.

Yuan Kong followed Weige, passed through a side door on the left side of the statue, and walked into a dim corridor.

After walking a few steps, faint voices could be heard;

Walking a little further in, I stood in front of a door, and the sound of people became more and more noisy. Yuan Kong originally thought it was chanting sutras or singing hymns, but what he heard were shouts like "Open, open, open".

what's the situation?
Wei Ge pushed open the door, and the scene in front of him undoubtedly exceeded his imagination——

Behind the door is a casino!
All kinds of gamblers gathered in front of tables of various sizes. Some were flushed with excitement, while others were cursing loudly in annoyance. Baccarat, roulette, Yuan Kong looked at them one by one. The room was not big, but the gambling types were quite complete.

The loudest table was a gambling-sized dice table. A woman wearing a nun's uniform and a nun's hat pressed the dice cup and looked around: "Is there anyone else betting? I'm going to do it!"

This……

Yuan Kong didn't understand, but was shocked.

Isn’t this the church of the Earth Sect? How come there are people gathering to gamble in this sacred place!
He looked at Wei Ge who was also stunned and asked: "Chief, is this legal?"

"combine--"

What a fart!
There are prostitutes in Jinghu City, but casinos are not allowed. The Lord of Soloto City is sworn in with gambling and drugs. He believes that these two industries are the source of trouble and has always adopted a strict crackdown policy.

People in Jinghu City gamble either in the city next door or in rural towns where supervision is insufficient.

but……

The Earth Cult is aloof and not subject to municipal orders.

The casino was opened in a place like this, and Wei Ge couldn't interfere.

Yuan Kong felt very depressed when he saw this scene.

Isn’t the Earth Sect one of the “three major religions”? How could it become like this!
"S-Chief Weig!"

One of the gamblers saw Wei Ge standing at the door.

He was in disbelief at first, then trembled all over and screamed!

"It's really Sheriff Wigg! Damn it!"

"Ah! How could Weige..."

How did you get here? !

The gamblers were all surprised. The timid ones were already looking for escape routes. Gambling was illegal in Mirror Lake City. Although they would not be sentenced if caught, why should they be caught if they could avoid being caught?
After the first person to escape appeared, the second one immediately followed.

In just one breath, the room was in chaos!
"Calm down! Gentlemen, calm down!"

At this moment, the nun standing behind the dice table shouted loudly.

Her voice had its own reverberation, echoing in her ears. Yuan Kong squinted his eyes, feeling that his brain was being impacted and his thoughts went blank for a moment.

Afterwards, he felt extremely peaceful and his emotions, whether positive or negative, no longer existed.

This is……

Spiritual magic?
Yuan Kong looked around and found that the gamblers who were running away in a hurry a second ago all stopped.

They stood there with calm eyes.

"Chief Wigger."

The nun looked at Weige and smiled brightly.

Under everyone's gaze, she gave up her seat to a dealer beside her and walked towards Weig: "Mr. Sheriff, you have so many things to do, why do you have time to come to our church?"

Wei Ge didn't know what to say.

He saluted: "Pope Maggie, was it a sedation spell just now? It's amazing."

Is she the pope?
The Pope himself shakes the cup? !
"It's not a sedation technique, it's the 'Breath of Spring'. It's probably two or three levels higher than the sedation technique."

Maggie curled her red lips and looked elegant.

She took a stack of chips from the exchange office, handed it to Weige, and said with a smile: "You're here, want to play? If you lose, it's mine."

no……

Weig was really convinced.

Thousands of words are stuck in my throat and I don’t know how to get them out.

He had never been in contact with Maggie before, and he never thought that she was such a person! A dignified clergy is not required to be very holy or pious. Now, you can't touch the ninth-rate profession!

She's fine.

Opening a casino in a church is simply... godless and depraved!
Weig didn't take the chips and asked: "Maggie Pope, what's going on? How could you..."

"Nothing. When the headquarters sent me here to take charge of the overall situation, I didn't expect the financial situation here to be so bad! You have also seen what the church has become."

Maggie put the chips back, her expression unchanged.

She added: "I have no choice, let's find some quick money first! After a while, my account will be rich, I will close the casino so as not to cause you any trouble."

No.

what?
Wei Ge was quite critical: "You can raise funds. I believe that with the reputation of the Earth Sect, many people are willing to help you."

Maggie sneered: "You want me to beg? I can't bend down."

Wei Ge was silent.

Yuan Kong was a little dissatisfied and said: "Pope Maggie, I'm not blaming you... Small gambling will ruin your family, and big gambling will be wiped out. If you open a casino, be careful that you have heavy karma and you will not be able to ascend to heaven after death."

"I don't run a casino for personal gain, I dress the goddess in gold! Why shouldn't I go to heaven? I deserve to enjoy happiness after death!"

Maggie looked at Yuan Kong with disdain.

She looked around at the gamblers in the room and said: "Look at these people, who is innocent? A decent person would not enter this place. They are lustful and seeking destruction. I am just following their wishes." , gave them a push - what reason do they have to resent me, they should thank me."
